		The Labour MP for Dagenham, Jon Cruddas, tells me that in his east London constituency the BNP has adopted a high profile for some time.
		Cruddas points out that economic policies implicitly depend on immigrants arriving in Britain to meet the demand for certain types of work and at lower rates of pay.
