The reason for the on going discusison about the BNP is their attempts to associate folk music, cusotms and heritage with teir cause.   The good people in Mudcat are making it clear that they have no connection whatsoever with the BNP and are citing evidence rlating to BNP's extreme right and criminal deeds, words and activities to show why.

I love our traditions, I respect other peoples traditions, and I will not tolerate the traditions that I love to be used as avehcile for race hatred and neo-naziism. For that reason I will do everything in my power, not to chage the hearts and minds of the bigots who are BNP acitivist, but the herat and minds of those who may be misled by the lies that they peddle.
