"How are you managing to get round the links I put up CS?"

I didn't get around anything Jim. I acknowledged that racism exists in the UK, and in diverse forms among diverse communities, and particularly so among extremists. I argued that it is however no longer an acceptable aspect of *mainstream British culture* in the way that it commonly was twenty or thirty years ago. Here's a longer quote from that link Sturgeon recommended to me:

"Nick Griffin's project has failed – but support for the BNP remains. The party never shook off its associations with neo-nazism and violence, and thanks in part to one of the largest anti-fascist mobilisations this country has ever seen, its support did not spread far beyond a hard core of voters."

Note that Jim: it was thanks to "One of the largest anti-fascist mobilisations this country has ever seen" that "Griffin's project .. failed" to excite the supposedly 'deeply racist' passions of the British public. One of the largest anti-fascist mobilisations this country has ever seen.. Think on!
