Here's a press release I've just issued on this. It should be on my website, but it doesn't seem to want to update itself ....

Educate electorate about dangers of BNP, says Plaid candidate Bethan Jenkins
Plaid candidate for South Wales West, Bethan Jenkins has today (28/2/07) announced the necessity to educate the electorate about the BNP and their racist nature in light of the announcement issued today that Nick Griffin, the Leader of the BNP plans to stand as a candidate on South Wales West’s regional list.
Plaid’s Bethan Jenkins said:
‘The BNP follow a blatantly racist agenda. I am eager to raise awareness of this agenda amongst the people of South Wales West, and play a part in dissuading voters from embracing such a negative political organisation. Plaid Cymru wants to create an inclusive society, where everyone is equal regardless of culture, ethnicity or Nationality. Unfortunately, this is something which the BNP does not adhere to, therefore in the run up to the election there is an obligation on candidates, and Assembly Members alike to educate the electorate about the negative racist agenda of the BNP.’
Bethan added:
‘I have recently signed UNITE Bridgend’s Anti- Fascist Declaration which seeks to promote a united response from all those dedicated to freedom and democracy. I believe that all legitimate political parties must combine forces to challenge the BNP in May’s Assembly election, and that such parties should work together to highlight the BNP’s Islamophobic attitude, and ideas which undermine our goals of human rights and equal opportunity for all.’

I occasionally get racist attachments to emails from people who do not regard themselves as racists. If you question it then you are just a 'sad' person who can't laugh at a bit of a joke.
This is what worries me. This is how it starts. I have taken a stand in the past and been largely ridiculed for it. The older generation seem to be the worst.
My mother-in-law in Stoke (6 BNP councillors !) treats my wife and I to a rant about the number asylum seekers 'flooding' the place. When you ask her to give any examples of asylum seekers she has seen, she can't.
As Edmund Burke said "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
Well done Bethan.
Where can the UNITE Bridgend’s Anti- Fascist Declaration be signed ?
Prince Charles, prisoners, and lunatics can't vote, proof they can stand in Politics.
