The paper interviews a sixty-year-old cleaning lady who is thinking of voting BNP because of &quot;all the horrible aggro &#8230; all this stuff with asylum seekers&quot;.  They also interview Neil Albert Walker, a council candidate in Stoke on Trent, who starts off on the subject of opposition to a new mosque (traffic, of course) but before long moves onto more familiar territory:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nDoes he think Holocaust denial is worth worrying about?<br \/>\n&quot;Well, there&#39;s been more holocausts in the world than the Jewish Holocaust. I&#39;m sure it was very wrong, what happened. But there&#39;s been bigger holocausts in the world. And every time someone mentions the holocaust, they choose to just link it to the Jewish one.&quot;<br \/>\nWhat does he think about mixed marriage? [Pause] &quot;That&#39;s a tricky one, John, isn&#39;t it?&quot; Well, I&#39;d ask him it if he called. Because, as he knows, there are plenty of people from the BNP who think it&#39;s a very bad thing indeed. Another pause. &quot;Well, it is,&quot; he says. &quot;It waters down the gene pool. It&#39;s as bad for them as it is for us. It&#39;s not just about white and black people. If, like, a Somalian African were to marry an Asian Muslim, it&#39;s the same. That&#39;s what I think, anyway.&quot;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a title=\"Guardian Unlimited Politics | Special Reports | Paranoia, poverty and wild rumours - a journey through BNP country\" href=\"http:\/\/politics.guardian.co.uk\/farright\/story\/0,,1758974,00.html\">Guardian Unlimited Politics | Special Reports | Paranoia, poverty and wild rumours &#8211; a journey through BNP country<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Guardian today has a feature on the British National Party and its threat to appeal to working-class white voters disillusioned by Labour (and with their heads filled with exaggerated stories about asylum seekers).&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-far_right"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p17bgV-9Y","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=618"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42497,"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618\/revisions\/42497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
