The problem is now that the mainstream parties are using the BNP pretty much as the BNP use immigrants - Someone to hate! Terry has the gist of it better than most I have seen.

I am as anti-facist as the next sensible person, just as I am anti any extemist, but just ranting at them does not help. Thay are not the alternative to New Labour as most people seem to think though. There are other alternatives before people consider the far right (or left for that matter).

What about Lib-dem? Green? Monster raving loony? How come people seem to think that the BNP is more of a viable alternative than those? As Terry said, address the root cause and people will stop voting for them. Whether you will stop Gillian and her friends in Northern Ireland is a different matter. We can but hope.
