One reason for the increasing electoral success of the BNP has been the rising and open racism of ta large section of the mainstream press which has dripped on an almost weekly basis a bunch of anti immigrant,anti refugee and Islamophobic stories and articles for years.
In addition Labour politicians have also fed the racist feeding frenzy with all kinds of dangerous smears and attacks.
This has allowed the BNP to appear to be tucked in nicely with what passes as mainstream political opinion.
As anti racists we should make no concessions to the thugs of the BNP but also the widespread racism being pumped out by newspapers and politicians alike.
