The Steadfast Trust got mentioned earlier in this thread. A small piece in a newspaper today suggests that they've been using the BNP's email list. But just reading their homepage tells you all you need to know about this 'charity':

"The Steadfast Trust is the first and only registered charity which undertakes work specifically for the ethnic English community. It exists to promote the education, legal rights, welfare, and overall interests of the community within England. Our work is driven by the belief that the English, and in particular the young, would gain greater self-respect and self-confidence if they had a better appreciation and understanding of their unique culture and heritage."

You can pick out a few key words here: 'ethnic English', 'unique culture', 'heritage', and draw your own conclusion.

The BNP, like most other fascist organisations, panders to the lowest levels of social prejudice, and is opportunist in its interventions. Anti-paedophile campaigns? Anti-Gypsy sites? They're usually there. I've also known them involved in anti-health care cuts campaigns. Sniffing around the folk music scene is probably an easy option for them, latching on to the arguments of "We English should be proud of our heritage, as are the Scots and Welsh and Irish".

As our economic crisis worsens, and the serious shit starts after the current sticking plasters fall off, there are going to be a lot more poorer, dispossessed, working-class people feeling angry and let down by the political system. The BNP will, no doubt, start becoming more radical in their slogans (attacking the uselessness and lack of difference of the big parties) and even more anti-immigrant (though having to compete with the present government).
