Ultimately the primary way to defeat this BNP is not by going around shouting nazi scum of our streets and trying to criminalise them ( a task made harder now that they have electoral legitimacy) but firstly to examine this postmodern fascism and combat it by suggestions that i made on an earlier post. Just to recap a few
Dropping the term nazi as applied to BNP members generally rather than judiciously to some individual memebers. The term is technically wrong in that the BNP owe little to Adolf hitler
Accepting that the BNP are a serious threat and will not got away
Analysing the Hybrid BNP between continental neo-populism and classical street oriented fascism.
Seizing on tensions within the BNP between the so called back to the streets brigade and the electionists.
Aceepting that the vast majority of BNP voters are not scum but individuals with legitimate concerns that have to be listened to if not agreed with.
Reviving the lost art of street politics going out and connecting with people over issues that concern them.
Opposition to stalinist scum like searchlight who are effectively work on behalf of the state and who smear opponents.
Presenting a credible alternative involving decentrilised actions by passing the central state which people have little faith in. These include local wealth redistribution, occupation of derelict buildings for comunity use, alternative currencies and direct popular democracy. We need an alternative vision in our communities
The situation is serious and i believe some of the ideas above( which are a combination of mine as well as other peoples ideas) can help in beginning a fight back against the BNP. Lets go to it!!!!

The real threat posed by two BNP MSPs is that they get a big dollop of money. It gets them out of the financial shit that no MSPs and Griffin's dodgy dealings would otherwise have landed them in. All this cash and Griffin's unaccountable practices may cause an implosion. We can but hope.
