Dire convergence of high impact cuts areas with BNP targets‏

Hope not Hate flags up the ominous connection between BNP target areas and the BBC's research into the impact of the impending public sector cuts. http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/blog/article/883/Tough-times-ahead

Most of the key BNP target areas are among those that are most vulnerable to the cuts. Among them are Stoke-on-Trent (3rd most vulnerable), Sandwell (4th), Burnley (11th), South Tyneside (12), Barnsley (14th) and Rotherham (15th). Also in the 30 most vulnerable areas are Tameside, Pendle, Wigan and Oldham.
