Please note that I observed that the "BNP is right on that count at least", thus implying that they may be wrong on others. I doubt, though, they have a particular vendetta against Jews or other non-Christians, since Jews are included within BNP ranks. As for the Mooslims, I am sure that many of them are good, law-abiding citizens; still, Britain is no place for Islam. Just whose bright idea was it, anyway, to foist "multiculturalism" upon the Islands? I daresay Enoch Powell was right.

I'm sad to hear that you feel that way. The BNP is the National Front and these apolitical careerists like Blaair are clearing the way for them to do very well. Nobody feels represented by the 'Third Way' so they look for other 'ways' and join extremist parties. That's what's happening throughout Europe. Personally speaking, I just hate fundamentalism of any kind.
Multi-culturalism was 'foisted on the islands' as you put it when the British invited workers from the West Indies to come and do jobs that its own subjects wouldn't do. There is also the impact of having been a colonnial power. Many of the people who settle in the UK have come from former colonies. They speak the language, have family in Britain and feel linked to it.
But like I said, I hate fundamentalism, especially when it is violent or racist. It's just a shame that a minority of violent extremists can affect the treatment and reputation of others within their community.
