Despressing news on 3 counts really..
1) BNP gain a seat.
2) BNP gain a seat in the area directly next to where I grew up, and where my parents still live.
3) The guy who has won the seat used to be my next door neighbour. In fact my folks are quite good friends with his folks(they no longer live in the area). I can't say I really know the guy, apart from to say 'hello' to, but I have vivid recollections of Gary Numan, David Bowie and Kraftwerk records being blasted out of his bedroom window in the early eighties...
I think it's all very worrying for us folks living in the North West.
