I can't believe that even a piece of shit like the SKY News operation would think that there's financial benefit to talking up the BNP. The BNP are vermin.

Again: is any other British political party openly opposing European integration? I'm no fan of the BNP, but if they're the only people speaking to a sizable section of the electorate on a critical issue, it's hard to see how they could be denied media coverage or why they wouldn't get a chunk of the vote.

The Conservative Party have had a line against it; not sure whether that's changed. Elements of the Labour party are against it, too. Which is why, coupled with public antipathy towards the idea, is why it's not happened (or, at least, why the UK isn't involved in it).

UK Independence Party are founded on being against it. Whatever efforts the BNP might make to portray themselves as an anti-euro party, I can't believe that many people are fooled. It might comprise another reason for certain sorts of people to support them, but I can't see them becoming a national power (although they can do well where there is simmering discontent at the ground level, as they are skilled at playing on the fears of morons).

There are other policital parties that are opposed to EU integration, to a greater and lesser extent. The UK Independence Party, Veritas and other crackpots are wholey against being a part of the EU. The Conservative Party is less extreme on the issue but still clearly eurosceptic.

So, no, the BNP are not the only eurosceptics. Their main platform is an anti-immigration one. They also claim that the British indigenous culture (whatever that is) is to be preserved and protected.

I bet they could around citing Chaucer and Shakespeare all day long, spiced with Beowulf references.

Some of my cousins are big BNP supporters. I think their activism involves 2 liter bottles of cider, and selling items that fell off trucks.

The BNP have rural and urban support. There is a strong anti-immigrant sentiment amongst some of the rural people (even though they basically never get to see any immigrants anyhow) but there are also plenty of urbanites into it, too. The BNP basically aim their pitch at scum, although they are getting better at dressing up what is fundamentally a racist position into something that approaches respectability. Of course, given the nature of many of their core supporters, it's not generally possible to carry that off for particularly long.

Is he? I always assumed he was caucasian. He'd better be careful or some radical conservative political party might try to send him back to Africa.

Oh...nigeLLLL. My bad.
