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."
