Seems like the story has finally leaked out, I did point it out a good while back, after a tip off from a reader in London. No.10 are keeping very quiet about it, apparently all the lobby journalists were asked to keep quiet. She was rushed to hospital after a suspected overdose. Rumours suggest she…

Newsnight just did an exerpt of a documentary to be shown tomorrow. It portrays the near unbelievable level of racism in the British National Party. It looks as if several people secretly recorded in the documentary will face hefty prison sentences if convicted of inciting racial hatred. The founder of the party also makes highly…
