It is silly to take public pleasure in your enemies injuries. Even you can see why that would raise suspicions.

If this is the assasination attempt it is being portrayed in the tabloids then I would expect greater injury, and a hearse draped in the Union Jack.

what do you think a BNP Britain would look like? An episode of the "darling birds of may"? More like a ultra-authoritanian nightmare. How do you think the BNP will deport 2 million people? By force obviously. And what would happen to the economy? it will collapse. and so those 2 million people will be put to work in camps whilst waiting to be deported - sounds familiar.
