  Er, Steve Smith (who built up Burnley BNP from nothing to the status of official opposition, and was driven out of the party for being on friendly terms with the late John Tyndall, whom you seem to respect as well) wants to stand in his home town, and you describe that as moving in on the BNP's turf?  There are historical precedents for your approach, but they are not wholly encouraging, e.g. it's a pity about Stalin murdering those millions of party comrades and plunging large parts of the land into an artificial famine, but we must be loyal to the vozhd and the party!     and was driven out of the party for being on friendly terms with the late John Tyndall    So you dont think it had anything to do with the fact that he committed electoral fraud?
