IT is indeed, frustration at the betrayals of the New Labour Government which have given the BNP a boost.

Carole Roberts might like to reflect that not everyone is "getting their own way." My national insurance contributions have just gone up, and so has my council tax.

My pension fund will not give me the benefits I hoped for.

As far as I know, no immigrant or asylum-seeker has anything to do with these matters.

They are the results of a profit-driven capitalist system, which wants to cut the share of wealth in society going to working people.

If working people, out of frustration, vote for the BNP what will they get?

In Burnley, at the council annual budget meeting, council tax was increased above the rate of inflation, spending on voluntary organisations was cut and compulsory redundancies for staff were agreed.

Did the three BNP councillors protest? Did they offer an alternative? No, they couldn't do either because they weren't there.

The truth is the BNP blame asylum-seekers and immigrants for the problems the system creates. So they divide working people when what we need is a united working class movement for a better deal.
