I am leaving my cave in the Welsh Mountains, driving over the Beacons and taking a trip to Abergavenny later this morning and so must be brief.  The sun is creeping down the west side of the valley and it looks as though it is going to be a nice sunny day - if you like that kind of thing.  Me, I prefer the rain and storms but we are all different.

Only article planned was one on James Bethell, of the conservative Nothing British site.  My but that ignoble Lord does have a past but you will have to wait for that story as will Lord Bethell as this story in the red rag Sun caught my eye.

In The Sun rag, a father is complaining that his son, Tom Hunter who is 13, received the above leaflet from a BNP supporter after young Tom had stood for the UK Youth Parliament, saying he was "shocked" and that "Targeting anybody so young is despicable".

Now the boy's father, Paul Hunter is a lawyer and one would expect that in that profession a brain would be a major requirement but apparently not, otherwise  he would be aware that the UK Youth Parliament is all about politics and elects 600 young children every year to serve in their "Parliament", where politics is curiously a major part of their discussions.

The views of young people are represented in the UK Youth Parliament Manifesto, which contains statements on the issues MYPs think are most important.

Oh, now I see the reason for the story.  One of Tom's relatives is the the patricidal candidate for Barking, Dominic Carman and this story gives him the opportunity to attack the BNP.  Too obvious Dominic but it may well work with the notoriously bright Sun readers.

But like most of the half baked attacks on the British National Party by the rag establishment press, it backfires because in publishing the BNP leaflet to highlight their "outrage" story they simply advertise the excellent policies displayed on it that many of their readers will agree with.

Thank you my Sun.
