THE British National Party has published its manifesto in an appeal to voters, using the phrase BNP Back To Basics as an acronym.

It stands for:

B -- Bobbies on the beat: recruit more police officers and community wardens.

N -- No more above-inflation council tax increases for pensioners.

P -- Public transport system that works.

B -- British interests first: stop the exportation of British jobs.

A -- ASBOs: zero tolerance on bad behaviour.

C -- Culture: promote British culture, heritage and religion, be proud to be British.

K -- Keep our streets clean, free of litter and dog foul.

T -- Town hall corruption to be exposed and stopped.

O -- Overhaul council services.

B -- Bias will be abolished: no positive discrimination.

A -- Asylum clampdown: charity begins at home.

S -- Stop the closure of schools, old people's homes, Post Offices and churches.

I -- Introduce a fairer distribution of spending.

C -- Council tax reductions: call a halt to unnecessary bureaucracy and "jobs for the boys".

S -- Save our town centres and the Green Belt from destruction.
