  Kev, in this particular case it is not about giving money to anybody but rather about early detection of potential problems. And for the future BNP candidates should undergo a bit of preventive screening in order to prevent troubles in the future.  I do not think it will hamper BNP chances there much because people or too much scared by Liebour failures. But it will cause they will neither join the party nor donate money to it. This is just an additional scare factor besides the establishment abuse which repells potential members or donors from BNP.  And Barking with Dagenham is the place where there is very desirable to stand a full slate of quality candidates by the next elections.
