Yes I did see the clip and it seemed clear to me that it was a throwaway line in an attempt at humour. (the fact that he laughs and smiles after delivering the line might be a clue)
He then goes onto to remind, still in my view with humour, any journalists present that this is not his objective. (No mention of that in the BNP script)
I'm not suprised that the BNP and those who sympathise with them are trying to make an issue of it.
