The BNP are not NAZIs FFS!

The BNP attract bigots, closet and open racists, nut-jobs and thick sun-reading twats - they however are NOT Nazis. By calling the BNP Nazis like the UAF do pushes people further towards them and alienates those that sympathise with some policies of the BNP with more anti-nationalist, class politics.
So what are the BNP?
The BNP have foundations from the far-right, fascists and hitler supporters - this is a fact. Look at the histories of the leadership of the BNP, their political alliances across Europe and North-America - this cannot be disputed.
Hang on didn't you say the BNP were NOT Nazi?
Yes, there are over 10,000 members with a strong working class vote in areas traditional strong with left and far-left memberships. Those that have joined and voted for the BNP have come from that background. The reason is that New Labour has abandoned any pretence in actually acting on the concerns and interests of large swathes of working class people, whilst utitlising a long term strategy of multi-cultural, divisive funding strategies where individual "communities" based on religion and ethinicity compete for funding. When funds and social services are denied and cut in working class areas, there is resentment when other pots are used to fund specific "communities". This had led the BNP to reform it self with a "common-sense" attitude derived from their old "rights for whites" campaign. The sentiment is this "if blacks, asians and muslims can act as for their religious or racial interests then why can't white people".
Having spoken to many members of the BNP this is one of the statements that I hear more often and it is linked to the opportunistic, loony left generation that instead of promoting a general working class integrations - something the state is against for obvious reasons - they have instead promoted a divisive "cultural, racial and ethnic classification" that has an interest in non-integration. There is the counter argument to suggest that the multitude of organisations set-up during the last 30 years to provide a balance to the inequalities and racism experienced at work, in the community and institutional were needed, and they were - but in many cases what we need now is general working class, open community initiatives, self-managed AS WELL as a campaign against a preferential treatment to any "community" thru facilities. Facilities for all is a pro-working class anarchist position as opposed to facilities for x and y group - which the BNP want.
To finish off my thoughts, the State want a divided working class that can not recognise its own power. The BNP want a segregated working class, and is using issues around multi-culturalism, lost of manufacturing base, financial crisis, immigration - to build a social base that it has NO INTEREST in actually serving.
Anyone observing the BNP "white history" month( whilst supporting the efforts of black people in black history month - this further shows they want to act as any other racially based organisation!) - the history on show was about Kings and Queens! Where was the working class history!
Any thoughts welcomed
