Normal people, that's the scary thing and when you look at the breakdown of say the 2009 European elections it is not a few nutters in Lancashire and Yorkshire, it's spread through many, many cities and towns across the land.
You're right, and I come across two of them at the exercise sessions for people with dodgy hearts I go to. They're quite sensible about most things, but are totally taken in by BNP propaganda.
It does worry me quite a lot that the BNP and UKIP seem to be making ground here, the neo fascist presidential wanabe in Austria has a big following (and she's an open Third Reich fan), Le Pen has a big following in France, and in the normally tolerant Netherlands the extreme fascist right is strong and growing. In all cases it's just ordinary normal people who vote for them. These people are a threat to all of our freeedoms.
In the CC poll I've put how I've actually voted - did my postal vote today. The party for which I've been doing some work isn't standing in my constituency, so I've voted tactically for our very good constituency MP to try to keep the Tories out.
