AS the day of reckoning, D Day, the tenth of June approaches the desperation of the three old jaded parties grows more and more apparent.

According to an ill-written article in the Daily Mail senior Tory, Labour and Lib Dem, figures (anonymous, of course) have been holding a series of summits about the threat posed by the British National Party. This gang-of-three does not see the BNP as a threat to Britain -- rather, their consternation has been engendered by the threat to their own sinecures in the European Parliament.

Michael Howard, the leader of the handful of geriatric traitors that comprises the bankrupt Tory Party, has denounced the BNP as thugs and racists, clearly, this is the language of desperation. New Labour, through the agency of UNISON, the Public Services Union, has spent large sums of its money (and probably some of yours and mine) on full-page adverts in the tabloids attacking the BNP. Clearly, New Labour is also running scared.

Blair knows that the British people are sick of him and his war-mongeringstupidity and he knows also that the BNP has massive support, or he would not be spending money from the bottom of New Labour's empty coffers in the attempt to deceive the voters about the BNP.

The long-suffering British people have at last had enough of the counterfeit political parties -- they know none of the three can be trusted, and that is why the British people are turning en masse to the only genuine party in Britain today, the only party that can be trusted to serve the interest of the British people first -- The British National Party.
