Fairness for all: a new Commission for Equality and Human Rights. White Paper. Department for Trade and Industry (May) 2004, pp.134, Cm 6185, £17.50. This White Paper sets out the government's proposals to merge the Commission for Racial Equality, the Disability Rights Commission and the Equal Opportunities Commission into a single body, the Commission for Equality and Human Rights.

My week as a BNP activist, David Johnson. Evening Standard 6.10.04, pp.26-27. Johnson infiltrated the BNP's electoral campaign in Barking and Dagenham where, in September Daniel Kelley won a council seat for them. As part of the fascist party's rebranding, they stood a candidate of Turkish descent. The author of this article accompanied the BNP as they canvassed - preferably white - households and observed the quotidian racism and hypocrisy that is the standard fare of the BNP's political opportunism. Their candidate, Lawrence Rustem came second with 934 votes in the Village ward by-election.
