Having handled this filth, I must now go disinfect my hands.
I wish the Mr Stabe would get over himself and attack it on its merits though. Writing such as that does nothing except lower the debate to their level, which can't be good.

I'm not sure why I should "get over myself".
The point of my post was to point out BNP approval for the policy and messages of a mainstream party. Because it came from a source most people would probably toss straight in the bin if they came into contact with it, drawing attentio to this was all that mattered.
The implicit criticism of the Tories -- who have previously denied accusations that they are appealing to similar attitudes as the BNP -- should speak for itself. I think my readers are intelligent enough not to need to have this spelled out for them.
I did hesitate about the name-calling, which you are right to call me on. But I wanted to be absoutely certain that nobody would miscontrue my quototing from BNP propaganda as tacit support for that propaganda: It's happened to me before. And if you had seen the rest of that BNP paper, you would understand my revulsion to even looking at it.
