Hello all

An interesting night for British politics: for me the low point was the election in Yorkshire of Andrew Brons of the BNP to the European Parliament. Brons was a prominent member and one-time leader of the National Front in the 1970s, and has an unapplealing pedigree.

I've just signed the 'Not in my name' petition at the 'Hope not hate' website (affiliated with Searchlight).
