As secretary of state for communities and local government, Hazel Blears is well used to getting
her tongue around the tortuous language of bureaucrats, but the minister for all things local is
also learning Spanish — at public expense.

width="1" height="1" //divpThe British National party has made advances because mainstream
political parties, including Labour, have abandoned sections of the white working class, ignoring
people's needs while taking their votes for granted, a government minister admits today./ppWriting
in the Guardian, the communities and local government secretary, Hazel Blears, warns that
politicians must work hard at grassroots level to win back the trust and confidence of people
alienated from mainstream political life./ppWith the BNP's areas of strongest support revealed this
week by the posting of the party's secret membership list on the internet, Blears also calls upon
her Labour colleagues to take their opposition to the far right to the streets in those places. "We
must continue to campaign vigorously against the BNP: demonstrate, picket, leaflet and argue," she
says./ppIn a strongly worded piece, Blears argues that demonstrating against the BNP is not enough,
however. "Shouting 'Nazi' is not the answer," she writes. /ppThe government, Blears insists, must
devise a long-term strategy to bring different communities together, working with councils and
different community groups; some Labour backbenchers have blamed the party's drive to capture
middle class votes for the rise of the BNP in some areas that were previously Labour
strongholds./ppBlears writes: "We must recognise that where the BNP wins votes, it is often a
result of local political failure." She adds: "Estates that have been ignored for decades; voters
taken for granted; local services that have failed; white working-class voters who feel politicians
live on a different planet. In such a political vacuum, the BNP steps in with offers of
grass-cutting, a listening ear and easy answers to complex problems."/ppBlears acknowledges that
the BNP, under Nick Griffin, has a "cunning strategy", and that it has "started a process of
detoxification". Using websites, blogs, newsletters and petitions, it has reached thousands and
"played on people's apprehensions". It has peddled, she says, "pernicious but plausible
lies"./ppShe points out that support for the far right remains small, but says a revival of
mainstream politics is paramount in those areas where the BNP is now known to be at its strongest.
Her comments echo what some Labour backbenchers and rank-and-file party members have been saying
about the BNP's strategy for several years./ppThere have been warnings that BNP activists have
targeted neighbourhoods where few people vote in local or general elections, and introduced
themselves on doorsteps as representatives of "a party that's like Labour in your parents' days".
/ppBlears is one of the most senior Labour figures to voice such concerns, and in such forthright
terms. Her wake-up call came as the fallout from the posting of the membership list continued to be
felt by the BNP. Police forces across the country were continuing to scour the lists for the names
of serving officers - who are banned from joining the party. But the General Medical Council said
it would not be taking action against any medical practitioners found to be members of the
party./ppIn West Yorkshire, police investigating the petrol bombing of a car outside the home of a
man whose name appears on the list were trying to establish whether it was the result of a
vigilante attack. The petrol bomb exploded on Thursday night in Liversedge. The Peugeot 206, which
belonged to a neighbour of the man named on the BNP list, was destroyed./pdiv style="float: left;
