I really don't know a great deal about the BNP. Are they racist, or do they
just have a more rigid stance on immigration? What among their policies
would be considered to be racist and/or fascist?

They're racist. See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_National_Party>.
You can also have a look at their website; it's most revealing. See also
<http://chasemeladies.blogspot.com/2004/06/killer-fact_07.html>, which shows
them for the losers they are.

Somewhere between racists and fantastists if you read their policy from the
website. The one who came canvassing us up in Lancs for the 2005 elections
was probably racist. We invited him in for our own amusement/disgust. He
appeared to think using words like "all those darkies" and "bloody pakis"
acceptable...

polices here . I had to read it just to make my own mind up.

"Scumbags?" "Smashed?"

You're using the same linguistic style as some of the most hate-filled
people I've ever heard of.

Obviously I've never met you (I think I've conversed with you once,
about that BBC4 Hawkwind documentary a year ago.) In a certain
ontological sense, I could picture you as no more than the sum of your
Usenet postings.

If you want to explain *why* you are not prejudiced in this regard --
and this is different from the assertion that you *are* prejudiced but
justified in being so -- then you will have more chance of beating the
odds in the following:

> No, I'm not trying to convince you.  History shows that there is no

The politics of abortion or gun control are similar in that regard.

You should be looking not to try to beat your ideological opponents
(be it by words or by violence, or indeed by verbal violence), but to
try and convince the neutral observers of this public argument.

I can't agree with the proliferation of no-smoking signs that have
been compulsorily put up in every shop window. But that's a minor
issue here.

> None of those issues have anything to do with the BNP: I know them, and

Do you know *any* of them as individuals? I strongly suspect you've
bundled them together into a group, and consider them solely by their
group characteristic (as you perceive it.)

The same sort of nonsense allows people to countenance committing
violence against "The Jews", based on their disapproval of Israeli
geopolitics. Some genteel watch-fixer in Bethnal Green whose shop
closes on a Saturday doesn't deserve to have it vandalised for that.

> > After all, Martin Niemoller wasn't a communist.

> Great non-sequiters of our time.

No it isn't. You just need to follow the train of thought.

I'm sure you know Niemöller's (I just copied and pasted that o-umlaut
from your next line -- this isn't a German keyboard, and doesn't
directly support accented letters) most famous poem by heart. It
asserts the importance of speaking out for persecuted minorities,
whoever they are.

I can't ride a horse; I wouldn't trust myself with a gun; and I don't
smoke. Nor do I have any sympathy for the policies of the BNP. But
when people start talking in all seriousness about the merit of
persecuting a group, any group, with extreme political violence, I
know I have to speak out against it.

> btw, it's Niemöller or Niemoeller.
