the BNP have more or less self-distructed to be replaced on the streets by its ugly young brother the EDL. I guess Griffin embracing folk music was part of his attempt to make the BNP respectable - clearly an impossible task.
Billy Bragg, The Imagined Village and Folk Against Fascism etc. have done some good things both politically and musically.
