This quote from BBC Newsnight on the BNP in Stoke-on-Trent -
"Dave Gore is a 40-year-old tradesman. He has just been made redundant. He says there is work out there but immigrant workers have pushed wages so low, he refuses to do it.

Give the BNP a chance! That's what New Labour has given us. Because of their poncy behaviour with the banks, sucking up to dodgy corporatists and generally paving the way for self-engrandisement (Blair's multi-million pound financial caravan is a good example!), we have been left with an underclass that is bitter and resentful, together with an artisan class that is fearful and demotivated.

And that these easily offended delicate individuals enthusiastically take offence at everything and nothing while, from the safety of their sacrosanct religious houses, they promulgate some of the most vile and hateful abuse even calling for the destruction of the very people who have been forced to host their new and improved lifestyles - may also have just a little bit of influence in the rise of the BNP.
Of course I could be wrong.
I don't think you are wrong. And one doesn't need to be anywhere near the far right in thinking to agree as much. Common sense should say that the government has been lamentable in addressing the legitimate concerns of people.
