I am no great fan of the Green Party's liberal leadership, but there
is *nothing* particularly astonishing about that 'admission'.  The NF
used to field former Young Communists as candidates.  I'm quite
certain there have been a host of former Labour members won to the
BNP.  So, what could possibly be animating this guilt-by-association
tirade against the Green Party by a Murdoch paper?
