"you clearly don't understand what they are or you would see that they should always be confronted under all circumstances"

Of course I understand, unlike many members of my economic background. But you don't seem to appreciate the points I'm attempting to make. I'm not taking issue with your taking the BNP to task. I believe the BNP are a serious threat within the poorly educated of the UK (who won't necessarily know their history), and at this time of enomomic unrest in particular. Which is precisely why, us lot l=bleating on about what a bunch of filthy fascists they are, does absolutely NOTHING to either understand or remedy the current tide of support they are building.
