"<br /><br />I think you find that there are only 2 ways to defeat the BNP -- decent policies that stop all immigration and remove a lot of the recent arrivals and the all ethnic violent criminals/serial offenders -- or, wholesale election fraud.<br /><br />People are so desperate at being let down serially by Labour and the Conservatives they are willing to vote BNP, even if it means being called a nazi and voting for the most demented policies the UK has ever had on offer from a political party. Still, it's the only game in town for many -- the political equivalent of hungry people eating mudcakes, just to survive a famine.<br /><br />Cruddas just knows the gig is up, people no longerr believe the BS and so he isn't even trying anymore.Cinnamonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-91355880422319870772009-04-30T13:41:00.000+01:002009-04-30T13:41:00.000+01:00May I echo the words of Iain and praise the outsta...May I echo the words of Iain and praise the outstanding work being done by the Conservative PPC in Dagenham and Rainham, Simon Jones.

Following Blair's and Brown's policies of "wider participation" and applying this to the world at large ( we do not have empire any more) UEL buses in students from around the globe, mostly from Asia, who are not qualified to go to universities in their own countries and quite a number of them (hundreds) land in Dagenham area each year to live and looking for part-time work- the very month they land here. (This is against Bill Rammell and other Labour education ministers asserting that we are getting billions of pounds from these new university students! What imbeciles these ministers are! ) Soon these students do not attend lectures and disappear. UEL like all post-92 universities function as illegal immigrants camp. Handing out anti-Fascist literature? I laugh as a brown-coloured person! Instead of this crap, the next conservative govt should tighten up the numbers coming here outside the EU, and no benefits for those arrive/arrived until they contribute taxes for at least 10 years. Dagenham I hear may not be Labour after the next election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-55693796449875561512009-04-30T12:54:00.001+01:002009-04-30T12:54:00.001+01:00This is just a campaign leaflet for Simon Jones in...This is just a campaign leaflet for Simon Jones in Dagenham, nothing more, nothing less.

Funnily enough, handing out anti Fascist literature does very little to combat the BNP, although it may make lefties feel better.<br /><br />Combatting the BNP needs to be done by pavement politics. Simon Jones understands that in Dagenham and that's why Cruddas may well lose to him.Iain Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270146219458384372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-8480569395851514302009-04-30T12:02:00.000+01:002009-04-30T12:02:00.000+01:00Unfortunately the Conservative Party has done very...Unfortunately the Conservative Party has done very little to combat the BNP.

Having failed in his ambition to become the leader of the Labour Party, Bryan Gould took the title of Professor and left the shores to NewZealand from where he arrived here some decades ago to become the vice chancellor of Waikato university and retired from there in 2004. Gould did very little for Dagenham except pretending to be socialist and he did next to nothing at U of Waikato either which had a racist problem (anti-semitic kind)there in his regime as a VC concerning a professor, and he did not take much stronger action. He had his job for 10 years in Waikato U as the Labour Party has been in power there until recently.<br />Anything can happen in Dagenham as my friends over there say, even a BNP win, as the<br />immigration problem is THE problem in that new constituency of D and R.
