these people are poisoning our youth, and because they supposed to be politicians they think they can get away with it, its bullshit.
Think? They
do get away with and are winning seats. 60 local councillors IIRC, two MEPs and a BNP member in the London Assembly, and there's notthing wrong with that. I'd defend their right to those seats, and even their politics. So from that perspective it is like flogging a dead horse because they're perfectly entitled to those seats and are doing better now than they have done in the last 80 years.
The BNP will not get in, nor will they turn "our youth" into a load fascists, however and more worryingly they will influence mainstream politics. The BNP had around 10,000 members in 2007 according to that leaked list and it would be safe to assume the number has risen so it isn't a big party, it is a big small party so the threats and images that are thrown up by the media are nothing but crude lies and poor perception, the real danger lies more immediately in the far right colonising the anti-mainstream vote and developing party loyalty, thereby blocking the development of an independent working-class (or other) political parties.
Shit reporting like this does the BNP more favours than anything else. It saturates us to the BNP’s politics therefore their extreme right wing views become normal and not a jarring wound in the political landscape. The left alas is a bit of joke now, the UAF, HNH, ANL's counter-productive, outdated ‘anti-fascism’ is absolutely alien and of no relevance to the real root of the problem. Probably why they (UAF et al) always look a bit out of the loop at anarchist book fairs
