There is a debate about whether the BNP are left wing or right wing. I think it’s a sterile and pointless debate and don’t like the terms left and right anyway (and certainly don’t think that it makes sense to see the BNP as an extrapolation of ‘the left’ or ‘the right’).

I don’t mind if people want to [...]

Further to my last post on the BNP claiming Jesus’ vote, Searchlight are running a petition on their Hope Not Hate website:
The BNP are preparing a high profile billboard campaign claiming that Jesus Christ would support their policies of racism and hate were He on earth today.
Statements like these – designed to cause offence and [...]

Labourspace lets you quickly and easily set up a campaign and share your ideas [...]

Nadine Dorries MP has resubmitted her amendment to restrict abortion for the third reading of the Human Fertilisation & Embryology Bill which will take place tomorrow. All the amendments proposing restrictions were previously defeated. Via Cath Elliott, here is some information from the Abortion Rights Campaign on liberalising amendments, with particular reference to Northern Ireland, [...]
