But everyone is entitled to a policital view, BUT not BNP.
everyone is entitled to a political view full stop.If they are going to enforce that stupid rule then they might aswell ban all muslims from the force on the grounds that some muslims blow up things

I disagree wholeheartedly about the ban. Like it or not as of now, the BNP is a legal political party. Whilst they remain so I think any ban is wrong. However, this isn't about "an overriding legal duty to promote race equality and retain public confidence." If it was a Muslim police officer who was a member of al Mahajiroun (which is a banned organisation) I doubt he'd been sacked even though he'd be at odds exporting an "overriding legal duty to promote race equality and retain public confidence."
correct
