In a democratic Britain, they are as entitled to be heard as anyone else. Otherwise what price democracy & free speech? Personally, I think they're morons. I am of the opinion that the number of votes they receive is directly proportional to the dissatisfaction of voters with the activities of the three main parties.

To be be blunt, I'm not the least bit worried about the Blinkered Nincompoop Pillocks. The average council has 50+ elected members. Even if all 5 BNP members were on one council they wouldn't have any noticeable influence on policy, & history shows that they tend to lose their seats at the next opportunity...
