The BNP supporting a position does not automatically make it racist.

Wanting to preserve one's culture certainly is not. Though racist politicians may use that argument when less palatable ones prove unpopular.

On the other hand, isn't all the talk about racism here an attempt to stop the poetry? Racist talk is banned on the Mudcat. If WalkaboutsVerse says something blatantly racist on this forum, y'all can ask the moderators to delete it. On the other hand, the harmless descriptions of geographical English blandness, seem to be drawing a very high level on hostility. They also seem to be drawing a high number of personal attacks from at least one esteemed member. Its making us all look a little childish.
