BNP say vote Boris
Sadly I’ve no time to compose a proper post, but I couldn’t leave it until late this evening to point out that the BNP have endorsed Boris as their candidate of choice for their voters’ second preferences.
I think the Tory Troll was first with this news - well spotted, that troll - and Dave Hill’s also covered it since.
I’m not aware of a response from Boris’s team yet, but I assume this wasn’t part of Lynton Crosby’s carefully orchestrated campaign. That’s the trouble with ‘dog-whistle’ tactics: you can’t control exactly which ‘dogs’ prick up their ears at them…

But Boris has not endorsed the BNP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop staining this brilliant candidate with the filth of the far right!!!!!
This is a shameful attempt by the left to smear Boris with nonsense.

Do you think the number of exclamation marks you include in a comment is somehow proportional to how much seriousness people will treat it with? If anything I’d say there’s more of an inverse relationship.
