We didn't get the leaflets here (I see little dislodging the Liberal local council or the Conservative MP around here), but if they want to deliver it, they may do so.
I do ask that they put an address on it. Or a phone number. Or some other contact details. I have no intention of doing them bodily harm (though the lack of address on last year's leaflet was the only thing stopped my brother going and putting a brick through their windows), but either they stand by their beliefs or they don't.
Truth be told, it doesn't matter a jot or a tittle what language they use in most of the areas in which they do well. It's mostly rural areas, and they didn't do badly (votewise) in Blaby constituency (about two miles from here) last year. But largely the sort of people who vote for them are not going to be put off by blatant racism. I meet people who want to get rid of the darkies all the time, and many of them have no shame about it. The only reason for couching it in 'nicer' language is so that they can't be declared illegal. They know their audience, and they know how to appeal to them.
I do sometimes wonder how much of what they put out they genuinely believe, and how much is just a bid for power. Some of the representatives I see don't have any of the obvious hallmarks of stupidity (though some do), and I find it hard to credit(!) them with those beliefs.
Anyway, bring it on. They'll not get much of an audience in Leicester, the city with the largest proportion of non-whites (for want of a better term) in Britain. Yes, that gets some people around here annoyed, but not most. Then again, Tower Hamlets had more non-whites than here....
Cheers,
Rat.
