Lunatic Fringe
In his autobiography, Teddy Roosevelt - whom we like far more as a person than as a President - noted:
Among the wise and high-minded people who in self-respecting and genuine fashion strive earnestly for peace, there are the foolish fanatics always to be found in such a movement and always discrediting it — the men who form the lunatic fringe in all reform movements.
BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY
Country: Britain
Leader: Nick Griffin
On the rise: Founded in 1982, British National Party (BNP) restricts its membership to whites only, actively campaigns against racial integration, and advocates the repatriation of nonwhites living in Britain. The party's founder, John Tyndall, flaunted his admiration for Nazi ideology, but under current leader Nick Griffin, the BNP has made a bid for respectability, severing its ties with neo-Nazi groups and even reaching out to Jewish supporters. Griffin hasn't softened too much though. He has been indicted for inciting racial hatred on several occasions, called the Holocaust a hoax, and said that "nonwhites have no place here at all and [we] will not rest until every last one has left our land."

Let's hope the British people are finally awakening to the genocide being perpetrated against them. It is their homeland and they have a right to preserve it for their posterity by whatever means necessary.
UKIP has risen, Lazarus like, from the dead because the British establishment has breathed life into it in an ongoing effort to use any means necessary to impede the rise of the BNP.

Radical groups like BNP largely exist because mainstream parties fail to address issues(crime, immigration, cultural values,excessive welfare programs). In turn, these radical groups develop a far larger voter base than they deserve. France had the same problem with the National Front under Jean Le-Pen. Le-Pen was winning voters on the issue of crime, taxes, and immigration. In fact, Le-Pen made it to a runoff in the 2002 French presidential vote with over 16% of vote. Sarkozy knocked down the National Front vote down by 2/3rds in 2007(under 5%) by developing policies to address these issues. The Conservative Party in Britain needs to do the same. For too long, David Cameron and the Conservatives have acted like Labour lite. The Conservatives need a real leader like David Hannan who is willing to challenge both Labour and the weak willed in his own party. Hannan calls for a drastic downsizing of the state in Britain including getting rid of socialized medicine. At the same time, he is a traditional conservative on many issues who has challenged the current politically correct orthodoxy in Britain. In 1979, Thatcher moved Britain right and radically altered its politics. Now, Hannan is needed to restore the Thatcher revolution!

"For decades the three main parties have conduced to the destruction of everything that made Britain a great and progressive nation : its traditional values, especially its commitment to marriage & the family, discipline, honesty, high standards and community spirit; pride in its history and its racial & cultural identity, and political independence and individual freedom; its great industries, farming and rural life, splendid armed forces, exemplary educational system, first-class Health and other public services, and an established Christianity which kept alive a spiritual vision counteracting the growing dominance of materialism and commercialism--and their corollary individual selfishness, greed, and lack of principle.
During all this time Anglican Bishops and Archbishops have either actually helped to foster this 'change' (for the worse), or said little or nothing to oppose it.
Now, at last, we have a party which stands unequivocally for a return to a better, decent Britain, senior clergy call for voters to boycott it, and continue to support the corrupt gang of politicians whose private lives are as rotten as their cynical public ones.
Any why? Because the BNP claims for the British People the same things that Marxists and so-called 'liberals' hysterically demand for anyone who is not White : to retain their racial & cultural identity, and the right to govern themselves in their own way. Do we not have such a Right ? And one unhampered by the ever-increasing, shameless & arrogant demands of millions of Third World immigrants who have fled to Britain (and other European countries) to get away from the mess they have made of their own lands, notwithstanding the billions of pounds of aid poured in by the despised and abused West?
To me 'racism' means an irrational & baseless hatred of people on the simple grounds that they are of a different race. I don't 'hate' anyone because they are not the same as my own kith & kin, but neither am I prepared to sit passively by while the nation that I love, and for which I feel a great pride, is biologically exterminated by a tidal wave of Africans and Asians. If I DO feel any hatred, it is for the churchmen, the journalists and disparate opinion-makers who actively promote this and other evils, and for whom 'British' is nothing but a piece of paper that can be dished out to all-comers like confetti; and who compound their shallow beliefs by abusing those with the courage to stand up for our betrayed heritage."
