"Speak for yourself. I have much the same ethnic and class background as most BNP organizers."

Ditto.
Not like me? Yes they are. I'm very, very familiar with the people the BNP are targeting. White, working-class, Essex is prime BNP turf. More BNP candidates here than anywhere in the country. And I personally know plenty of white-working class people (including family) who are either actively racist due to cultural default (it's *expected in order to be accepted* in many working class professions and social groups) or otherwise tempted by BNP propaganda. Some of them are blokes raised that way, some are genuinely nice but unthinking consumers of right wing propaganda.
