Council estate scum?
Careful now. 'Scum' is the very language of the BNP, and to apply that epithet to people simply based on where they live is exactly the same thing you accuse them of doing.

The BNP are simply irrelevant. They survive only through the oxygen of publicity, be that negative or positive. Every egg launched at Griffin is one more thing he can point to and say "they're trying to silence us, we must have an important point to make". Every politician who engages with them only serves to legitimise their goals.

But, and this is the big but, this is a democracy. You proscribe a political party at your peril, especially if they actually have a modicum of support; like nonces, they're best kept where you can keep an eye on them.
