You are right Snail - Vin certainly is a more complex question.

The BNP, whether legal or not, has a well established and extremely narrow agenda which is born out of racism.

Vin's agenda is extremely broad and well considered. Politically, most of his work sits easily with the likes of Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Roy Bailey, June Tabor, ,Jez Lowe etc. He makes a point on one issue that runs against the tide. It should be clear from his wider agenda that bigotry and oppression are not part of his vocabulary. Because of his wider credentials, he should be listened to in order to promote debate.
