A Steve Dungworth - standing in September's local election in Egerton - has included the names of those who signed the BNP candidate's nomination form on his election leaflet.

If this is even legal, it surely must be one of the dirtiest tricks Labour has pulled so far.

However, with any luck Dungworth will find that his tactics have backfired - rather like the mini motos which were high-handedly confiscated by the local police.

As Mr Dungworth is obviously not seeking to intimidate the local community by so publicly stating those who nominated the BNP candidate what is his reason for that publication? [that is assuming the image is not a forgery]

Of course the BNP are happy to make use of this public information if it serves their particular purposes but it does appear to be a sinister development that those private persons willing to publicly nominate individuals to stand for election to the local council are now considered fair game as part of the subsequent political campaign.

I hope Mr Dungworth, "a lecturer at Leicester Business School" (ie, the poor pay taxes to fund his salary), loses and loses big. I also hope the BNP do not win this ward - though I would not criticise anyone for voting BNP there.

And who pays the taxes to fund the UKIP MEP's who have their snouts in the EU trough? (And thus the UKIP through them.) Mr Dungworth works for a living, unlike some of our so-called representatives. It is this sort of attitude that will see the demise of the UKIP unless it, as an organisation, get their priorities sorted out.

As for the NuLabour tactics, what else can one expect from this bunch of scumbags? It should be noted, however, that a large number of the 'old' Labour members are making a point of distancing themselves from such tactics.

Each and every opportunity to "out" BNP members should and in fact MUST be taken.

Does it not occur to anyone that some people are democrats and perfectly willing to sign the papers of those canddiates with whom they don't necessarily agree? I have seen this many times locally where members of the public have been willing to sign UKIP nomination papers on principle - the electors should decide.

Harry is quite right. I have been part of a BNP team obtaining nominations, and we always (as should all parties), tell people which party we are from, and ask if they would they support our right to stand in whatever election. Some do so because they support us, and others because they support our right to do so.

This is another squalid attempt at trying to indimidate people engaged in the democratic process, and they call us "fascists"!:-)

Why do you assume that everybody who signs a BNP nomination paper is a BNP member?
