Will this work for them, or will people be disgusted by this disgracefully cynical use of other people's tragedy?

There was a similar controversy, here in the U.S., when the republicans used the image of the wreckage of the twin towers on leaflets and in commercials, for political gain. My intuition tells me this is no coincidence. I'm sure the BNP's logic is: 'if it works in the U.S., it's bound to work here.'

unfortunately some dont have much to live in zone 1 so they resort to living in that area as rents are cheap

I heard whites have moved out of that area .. though

Well if they want to play dirty then the other parties especially Labour who they are attacking can always use images from the Brick Lane, soho and Brixton bombing etc to say do not vote for BNP because this will happen

Unfortunately Barking & Dagenham are still two of the most racist places in England. They will get the votes on the back of 7/7.

And yes, a lot of White people are selling up and moving - but there's still a high number of council-owned property............

This states that:

Quote:

“The borough of Barking and Dagenham has the lowest proportion of university graduates and the lowest level of car ownership in London.

“It is among the four areas with the highest innumeracy and illiteracy rates in Britain. There is no local hospital."

As can be seen from the experiences of Nazi Germany it is when people are in a more depressed, poorer state that they can be most influenced by far-right scum and take seemingly "desperate" measures by blaming "everyone else" for their problems. The far-right always sparks up problems in times and areaslike this (Barking & Dagenham have been the most white areas of east London for a long time but this has totally changed over the last 20 years or so), look at Bradford, Oldham riots etc... they come in, post their leaflets around and spark hatred and their dream is to spark race wars everywhere as this helps them to breed & recruit more people. They also take in young, disillusioned & often poor/undeducated people who have no direction in life, give them a collective group to feel part of and brainwash them with their filth.

Peace
