Extreme-right British National Party wins two seats at the European Parliament
As European countries are voting to elect their European Parliament representatives, Great Britain is shaken by the victory of far right party BNP, gaining two seats for the first time, as reported by the AFP. The BNP is known for its anti-immigration stance and has been referred to as a racist and fascist organization, even though its leaders deny these accusations. ALL WHITE IN BARKING offers a snap shot of the current situation in a working class suburb of London where older white residents, including a supporter of the BNP with a mixed-race grandson, learn to live with their new neighbors, immigrants from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Balkans.
