BNP fears...

The Miner can't help but notice that some candidates in Notts seem afraid of speaking to the media.
Nottingham North BNP candidate Bob Brindley said he had to check with the regional press officer before opening his mouth. And Erewash BNP candidate Mark Bailey said he was unable to comment on the campaign issues.
Eventually we managed to persuade Bob (whose real name is Simon) to chat to us so he's earned himself a couple of lines in the paper.
Up in Mansfield, independent candidate Andre Camilleri has issued answers to our questions through his agent.
Meanwhile, over in Ashfield, Gloria de Piero seems to be giving the national press the slip, but at least she will talk to us.
