A shock win for the far-right British National Party yesterday sent a tremor through Labour amid growing fears that the recession is driving angry voters into the arms of extremist parties.
The BNP seized a Labour seat in a district council by-election in Sevenoaks on a substantial turnout, encouraging fears that the party could make significant advances in the June local and European elections.
The Kent town is a Tory stronghold at Westminster and local politicians had previously dismissed the likelihood of a breakthrough for the BNP.
But the result will be seized on as evidence that Gordon Brown's ill-judged pledge to secure 'British jobs for British workers' has backfired by encouraging nationalist sentiment.
Earlier this month a wave of wildcat strikes against companies using foreign workers caused anxiety in Whitehall and fuelled fears that the far-right is intent on exploiting the downturn.

The labor party allows sharia law and the “journalists” are worrying about far right “extremists? What a bunch of “Obama”. New word for something else that stinks.
The Labour Party are so far removed from current Public opinion, it’s ridiculous.
And whatd’ya know, they changed the headline text in the last 2 minutes, to include the mandatory Liberal tag of ‘exremism’!
I am tired of them calling people who don’t want to be enslaved, extremists. Were the Jews extremists in the Warsaw ghetto or at Auschwitz? Were the patriots at Lexington “extremists”? What about the Alamo? Dunkirk? Normandy?
How come everyone who refuses to roll over and die for the totalitarians called extremists?
The only hope for Britain is for the English nationalists to get into power in these local councils, and reverse the pro-moslem, anti-christian insanity that’s been going on.
Otherwise it’s muezzins calling the faithful to prayer from the minarets of Oxford, as Gibbon put it.
Throw a tea party in London.
Good news! In the event of US military involvement in a European civil war pitting nationalists against Muslims this is who’ll we’ll be fighting with.
It looks like things are starting...
It’s good that European, multi-party nations like Britain have parties like the BNP that can step up to the forefront when things get tough. Our “two” party system strangles new parties in their cribs, and so, when things get tough over here, there’s no one or nothing new to grab the reins.
Are there any other Political movements of note in the US outside the big two?
I know our American Republican (small “r”) is different than European Parliamentary systems, however one can argue that “The Ron Paul Revolution” is equivelent to some of the “far right” or nationalists parties (and Euroskeptic) parties in Europe, at least I see it that way!
I hope you are right. Watching the Great Britain of old disappear deeply pains this Irish-American Anglophile.
It’s quite entertaining to see a thread on FR singing the praises of an avowed national socialist neo-nazi political party.
Their OFFICIAL positions, their party platform, is that the HOLOCAUST never happened, capitalism in its current configuration is a jewish conspiracy to rule the world, that non-whites are racially inferior and must be deported ASAP, etc.
Once they achieve power, they promise massive expropriation (theft) of assets and redistribution to Britians lower-middle class and poor whites. This is the demographic they chase and other people’s money is the bait.

What the hell is wrong with you people?

“I don’t like the sound of ‘ese ‘ere ‘Boncentration Bamps.’”
The BNP are not torchbearers of freedom. Beneath all that rhetoric about protecting English freedoms is a Nazi Party that despises the very values it claims to stand up for. And I’m not using the term ‘Nazi’ as a throwaway epithet. These are actual Nazis who admire Hitler and everything. The previous leader John Tyndall even used to wear leaderhosen and a swastika armband whilst giving speeches extolling the virtues of German National Socialism and its campaign against world jewery... Don’t be fooled, these people are scum...
Does this mean that the taboo about anyone in the European media and their colleagues in our MSM ever calling a marxist an extremist may erode?
