I thought Ian Burrel's article in today's Independent was particuarly good in attacking the right wing tabloid press for making Eastern European Migrants their scapegoats. Not only have the Mail, Express and the red-tops repeatedly persuaded their demographics that rising unemployment and even disease are the result of Britains EU membership. They have also consciously embelished and over-exaggerated headlines to sell their papers, knowing they will provoke outrage amongst their readers.

It has gone beyond merely taking a tough stance on immmigration. More should be done to provide information about how the recent influx of immigration has helped to fuel growth in the economy and become a key EU member in providing hundreds of jobs for those who are desperate for work.

The BNP's campaign for 'justice'

The BNP have campaigned against the 30 month sentence given to Kevin Hughes who was charged for assault. This was largely because the evidence was given by a victim who happened to be a 'twice failed asylum seeker who conducted his actions in court through an interpreter after he claimed he could not speak English,'.

Whether or not the offendent was rightly punished is beside the point. The BNP are clearly prepared to encourage discrimination against non English speakers in courts as well as condone thuggish violence. Their far right status is a disgrace and they must not progress any further either in grassroots politics or at constituency level.
