Judy in another thread asked Donal if he was going to vote for the BNP.
Here is an article on the BNP:

This is interesting. People don't want to be considered racist, but at the
same time they don't like the way immigration is being handled in Britain.
It will be interesting to see how many votes the BNP gets. It is also
interesting to see how mixed up people are. They don't think they ought to
be voting for the BNP, but they agree with what the BNP says; hence, for
example, the woman who said she is going to vote BNP but not tell anyone
that she did. Britain isn't Deep South quite yet.
But is "Deep South" the right expression? Blacks in the Deep South wanted
to integrate, but even putting aside the stupid laws that inhibit
integration, the Muslims I've been reading about don't want to integrate . .
. or is that only in continental Europe?
