METHINKS that BNP member Adam Walker “doth protest too much” (HAS, July 1).
He uses spurious and irrelevant arguments to try to present the BNP as an “ordinary” political party. It is rubbish, and it is time the letters page was filled up with more interesting material, too.
The correct description of the BNP is “neo-fascist”, neo meaning “new”. It is not the same as the previous rise of fascism, but it is well described throughout Europe.
Basically, the BNP tries to pretend it is standing up for ordinary people and hides the hooligans in its ranks, but in reality it has stood up to no one and done nothing.
The BNP hardly has any public events anywhere in the country and no open political events which aren’t surrounded by lines of riot police, protecting the public from the criminals in the BNP ranks.
