Actually, we came closer to winning it than I thought we would - we should be able to beat most of the "Rahmanites" in 2014 with a bit of work.

The London BNP branch has been very active in this by election, picking up a lot of postal votes on the doors and distributing VOF papers. They have a good chance of winning, hence Hopenothate and the other self-proclaimed ''anti-fascist'' labour-front groups are distributing hundreds of anti-BNP smear leaflets in this ward, as of last week. UKIP are only standing to stop the BNP also getting a seat and have admitted they have no chance of winning here. Nigel Farage has declared this openly many times, his party will only contest seats to stop the BNP getting in. That's democracy in this country for you...  I know for a fact Hopenothate have supported the UKIP paper candidate in this by election, as it is now a general anti-BNP strategy, to get as many candidates in a By election when the BNP have a high chance of winning. Just thought I would bring this post back to people's attention. The BNP took this one seriously (rumours N Griffin was hanging around in the area today) but they still got beat nearly 2 to 1  |

Nice result in Barking. I wonder what sort of percentage Livingstone will poll there.

I think he'll do rather better in SPitalfields and rather worse in Gorsebrook

Mind you there's been quite an influx of Africans etc into the area even in the last four years so while there will be a huge divergence between the Labour support and the vote for Livingstone, it may not be as marked as in 2008 |

Great result for Labour in Barking. Promises good things in other areas with a previously high BNP vote.
It occurs to me that cases like this make it all the harder for the Tories to gain a national vote tally anywhere near that of the past. I am sure that in the Thatcher era Barkings anti-labour voters would have supported them rather than a neo-facsist fringe party.

Tory win was in Longbridge which was always a quite Tory inclined ward until fairly recently. There the demographic change has been more of the Ilford variety
