The economic crisis could spark a resurgence in the Far Right, a close ally of Gordon Brown has suggested.

I am a selfish person.

As I explained to a mate of mine a few months ago it is already promised by an polititian. Wonder how long it will take to get into the Taxi service in Bristol? White Eastern Europeans do not have to worry about right now, but there might be a time in a few months time, when things go so bad for the majority of local posse that they will have to take action. Wonder where I stand in all this as a country-less person of dubious parentage?

Ed Balls, the Children's and Schools Secretary, said the downturn was likely to be the most serious for 100 years, and his comments appeared to raise the prospect of a return to the Far Right politics of the 1930s and the rise of Facism.

The row over foreign workers has gathered momentum in recent weeks and Mr Balls seemed to suggest the recession could trigger a return to the Far Right politics that prospered in the Great Depression of the 1930s.

He told Labour's Yorkshire conference: "The economy is going to define our politics in this region and in Britain in the next year, the next five years, the next 10 and even the next 15 years.

"I think that this is a financial crisis more extreme and more serious than that of the 1930s and we all remember how the politics of that era were shaped by the economy."
