I had this argument with a very prominent union leader a few years ago, who'd previously always refused, as a matter of principle, to debate with the BNP and their ilk.

The point I successfully made to him was that the best way to defeat the likes of the BNP is to lay bare their policies and arguments NOT to turn them into 'victims' of political bias and, in so doing, make their argument for them. I hate the BNP but I'd defend their right to exist and would like to be able to debate their views and challenge their policies.
