The fact is that one in five people voted for the BNP where it stood. That means 20 per cent of the population is potentially fascist - far higher than any other European country. As someone in a mixed-race marriage, after these elections I am genuinely scared. We agreed if the UK became like France or Italy where fascists have also gained widespread support, then we would leave the country. We don't want to live in fear of persecution or attack by the BNP and other violent racist groups. It's not running away from a problem, it's the desire to live in peace as a family. So, it's time to find the exit from fascist Britain. I blame the major parties for generating this climate of hostility towards ethnic minorities with their vile rhetoric against asylum seekers and their desire to force 'assimilation' into what they regard as the 'national culture'. David Blunkett helped the BNP to power by giving racism respectability. I can't live in a country or continent where racism is the dominant theme.

The English have spoken in those wards,maybe they'll be listened to on Black crime and Asylum swamping

Don't be misled. The BNP got between 10-26% of the vote where they stood, but they only stood in about 60 wards where they know their support is strongest, out of thousands nationally. Their two wins are because they got 26% in wards with multiple councillors, so winning the second or third places.

In other words, the population haven't suddenly gone Nazi!

But having said that, of course we need to mobilise urgently. The BNP will make the most of the publicity they get from this. Anti-racists and anti-fascists need to hold our nerve, remember we are the majority, and get organised.
