See Gerald James' definitive 1995 book on the topic "In the Public Interest: A Devastating Account of the Thatcher Government's Involvement in the Covert Arms Trade''

vote fraud . . . . lot of it about

06-05-2010 15:45

. . . . westminster, cheap housing association flats, all with their own numbers - all guys, but a couple of days ago two postal ballots for a chinese couple ( both sexes ) turn up on the main doormat - without a flat number. Dropped a sheet of paper with the details off at the local police station, to get told that they'd check it off against the local electoral lists. This doesnt seem much of a response . . . .

BNP candidate likes a toke...

29-04-2010 18:12

Smoky Baehr in a suit
The BNP election candidate for Yeovil, Bob Baehr, will be remembered by older activists as a colourful member of the anti-roads movement of the 1990's. That's not news - the BNP themselves boast about his "environmental credentials".

How does that fit with the fascist party's stance on drugs, Bob?
