Steven_NTL, your point about the term "Paki" would be valid if they were actually Pakistani. But the fact that the word "Paki" is used to describe anyone of west asian ethnicity kind of blows that out of the water.
I dont see why people are getting so worked up about the BNP, they're just riding off the current anger at Labour. The BNP are actually pretty liberal when it comes to racism and white supremacy. As far as i know, they're actually not very much liked in the neo-nazi fraternity. Combat 18 for example, were created as "bodyguards" for the original BNP but then arguments insued and they broke off.
And lets clear something up about these seats the BNP are winning; they're just local council seats. They dont have any seats or any say in real national matters in the House of Commons. Considering they share council seats with multiple other politicians, they barely have any say where they hold local council seats either.
I doubt the BNP will even win any seats in parliament come next election. Considering the majority of voters stick with their party whatever, whenever then its extremlely unlikely - especially as you must also take into account the larger constituencies and much higher turnout for national elections. And i havent even meantioned the fact that fortunetly most British citizens have common sense.
Seriously, for those of you who vote for the BNP; have you actually read their policies? The ones which arent related to race and immigration aswell?
