"I wish FaF all the best, but I fear that it will not, on it's own, put a stop to the BNP.": J MacKenzie

Of course it won't ON ITS OWN, John, Neither will anything else ON ITS OWN. But can't you see it as a valuable part of a cumulative process? A perhaps minor but nevertheless important cog in a mighty machine which, like Woody Guthrie's guitar, kills fascists? The fact that something isn't going to achieve its purpose on its own seems to me a poor reason for belittling and sneering at it {and don't pretend now you never did either: your tone thruout this thread has been scornful & negative and it's much too late now to try and save face by saying that it hasn't}; & that's the 'reality' that you denounce this thread for not welcoming here.
