It's time for Britain to wake up. Have we really begun to imagine how we might feel on May 2 with BNP councillors in our towns and cities?
A poison in politics, spreading hatred and division. In the London elections, the BNP needs only five per cent of the vote to get a seat on the Assembly, eight per cent gets them two seats and 11 per cent means three.
The BNP threatens the progress this country has since I was growing up in the 1980s. Our proud history is of opposition to extremism.
In the 1960s my parents, like many others, came to Britain to rebuild homes, to drive trains and buses, or - like my mother - to staff the NHS. This year, as the health service turns 60, I lost my mother to cancer. What will become of her legacy of dedicated service to others, if bigots are elected? Are we really going to let the BNP have a say in our towns and cities today?
We are kicking extremism off our football terraces and out of our shops and factories. Let's kick it out of politics too.

OK David, very nice speech, but its about time you and other MPs especially those with BNP on their Councils like Hodge actually started to come out on the streets and fight them there.
Thats what this community is doing, but i have yet to hear Hodge or any other senior Labour MP attacking them.
anon is right, in the 2 years that the BNP have been on the council in Barking & Dagenham Hodge has not attacked or criticised them once.
You have to ask what is she afraid of?

Losing her traditional voting base?
