The fact that the BNP have asked their voters to give second preference to Johnson could be a determining factor in who becomes Mayor. Like it or not we must face the fact that support for the BNP is increasing. Some Conservatives may be tempted to welcome the BNP support whatever their leadership and candidate say publicly. One Tory I know says he is urging a Johnson/Barnbrook vote. I think that some Tories are playing dangerous games with the BNP.

I have similar feelings now when I look up and witness them sitting in the chamber of City Hall, and at times heckling Mayor Livingstone. That why one of my pledges for the 2008 May 1st London elections is to fight for every vote, so that we can stop the BNP getting a List seat on the London Assembly. I look forward to working with readers, Murad Qureshi AM, John Cruddas MP and others over the coming months to achieve this Goal.
