“Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.”

The latest battle-line drawn between the National Front and the British National Party has been drawn, with the BNP pointing out that the NF has used a quote (above) from (shock horror) prominent black activist Frederick Douglass.

The story, reported on indymedia just today, follows hot on the heels of reports last week suggesting that the NF may stand cadidates in areas of West Yorkshire such as Leeds and Bradford, as well as Birmingham, Swindon and Norfolk. This could split the far-right vote, and with reports that the EDL may also field candidates, and UKIP's rise this could do more harm than good for radical right politics in the UK.
