The increasing acceptance of the legitimacy of the British National Party’s political message has been confirmed once again with an article in the London Financial Times (FT) complaining about foreign aid to nuclear-power India.

India has just opened a state-of-the-art international airport in New Delhi which sprawls over 1.5 square miles, has 97 automated walkways, 88 aerobridges and which cost £1.9 billion – exactly the amount which British taxpayers have given that nation in “foreign aid” over the past ten years.

According to a succession of Labour and Tory ministers, Britain can afford to get rid of its “dirty” industrial base through the closure of mines, steel works and shipyards because opportunities in high-tech industries, such as information technology (IT) will be developed to replace them.
