Subject: RE: BS: So why has the BNP gained votes?
Robert West stood as the BNP candidate in yesterday's by election in Norwich after failing to get enough votes in the East Midlands to win a seat in the European Parliament last month.

The 53-year-old, said during campaigning

"We are taking a strong anti-immigration line. And we are against the issue of sovereignty to the European community.
I believe multi-culturalism is unnecessary and evil.

"I want the people of Norwich to follow this line and realise we have not been tough enough on immigration. I do not want anywhere in this country turning into the Middle East.

"This is Britain and I will fight to keep it that way."
