Even if you were to place to one side the racist thuggery, the xenophobia, the colour-coded divide-and-rule strategy towards the proletariat, the holocaust denial and clear echoes of "Kinder Küche Kirche associated with this latest incarnation of fascism in Britain, there remains the BNP's policy of annexation of English music to further their vile purposes,

As this is a forum dedicated supposedly to traditional music from all cultures, it is not only repugnant but contradictory to include someone spouting violent, racist discrimination and opposition to multiculturism among its membership.

Our music and musicians deserve to be spared that sort of fate.
