• BNP support fueled by social breakdown, not immigration
  High levels of immigration into an area does not result in the local community supporting the British National Party, a report revealed today. They found that the more immigration an area has experienced, the lower its support for the far right. Instead the study suggests that political and socio-economic exclusion such as a lack of qualifications and poor social cohesion are more important factors of BNP support.

"High levels of immigration into an area does not result in the local community supporting the British National Party, a report revealed today. They found that the more immigration an area has experienced, the lower its support for the far right."

Not bothering to read the article, but could that be because if levels of immigration to a 'community' (a word I find deeply suspect, whoever uses it) are high enough there won't be many BNP types left there anyway?
