On May 1 (dated), local elections will be held throughout the UK for both the London Mayor and the Greater London Assembly.

The BNP, which could get its first seat on the London assembly if voter turnout is low next month, is campaigning in Jewish areas across the capital and attempting to play on what it sees as historical enmity between the Jewish and Muslim communities.

In one leaflet, handed out in north London last weekend, the BNP’s only Jewish councilor, Pat Richardson, is quoted along with a picture of young Muslims holding a placard reading: "Butcher those who mock Islam."

"I'm in the BNP because no one else speaks out against the Islamification of our country," said Richardson. "Being Jewish only adds to my concern about this aggressive creed that also threatens our secular values and Christian tradition."

The move has sparked a furious reaction among Jewish groups who say the BNP is still anti-Semitic and racist.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews (BOD), the London Jewish Forum and the Community Security Trust (CST) have launched a campaign with other ethnic minority and cultural groups and the Hope Not Hate campaign to combat the BNP threat.

The President of the BOD, Henry Grunwald, urged "to halt the tide of extremist politics in the UK."

In theory it could work. Anti semites and Jews could set aside their differences to unite against the Muslim.
