Get that fascist off my lawn!

At the beginning of the campaign we drew up a list of stories that we thought would capture the media's attention. We have been really pleased with the response. We have been able to place stories in the press virtually every day of this campaign and right across the media spectrum.

However, it is often the unexpected that really catches the interest of the media and today the papers are full of it. The story is Nick Griffin's invite to the Palace. Obviously the BNP thought that by alerting the media to this story they would generate huge media coverage and convince the voters they had now become respectable.

Perhaps they hadn't quite expected the front page of the Daily Mail: Fascist on the palace lawn.
