Tories take Norwich North

[marshlander]

I can't remember ever having been so relieved to see the Conservative Party win a seat in a bye-election. It's not that I wouldn't have preferred a different party to have won, but my relief is due solely to the British National Party coming last. They mounted an ugly and intimidating support campaign in online forums and I spent more time than I wanted to just trying to get some kind of balance in the discussions I saw over the past few days. One of them even had the gall to misquote Martin Niemoller's poem by starting it with the line "When they came for the BNP I remained silent ..." Serious, serious, serious lack of judgement there, boys.

Had they won, I don't suppose we'd have seen them at Norwich Pride this weekend ... just imagine
