The objection is to them tarnishing the word "nationalist" by using it to describe their utterly indefensible creed.

The Welsh, and Scottish, Nationalists are FOR Wales, and Scotland respectively. They are not AGAINST others.

England has every right to a similar Nationalist party. That, however, is not what we have.

The British Nationalist Party is an organisation of mindless bigots and thugs (many with violent criminal records), who preach racism, and religious persecution, and try to achieve respectability by using the word nationalist to cover their neo-nazi ideals.

As Jon said above, there is NO British Nation, so their party is nonsensical to start with.

If they came out into the open, and called themselves nazis, or neo-nazis, they would still be allowed to exist, provided they kept their language within the limits of the laws relating to inciting race hatred, but I seriously doubt that they would poll many votes.

That is why they persist in hiding behind the word nationalist.
