Rory,
Is the BNP the British equivalent of the Front National? Forgive my ignorance, I haven't heard of them. I suppose they're 'fronted' by someone like Le Pen? When I was in Nice, those people actually tried to burn out the Modern Languages department, because 'we' were polluting their tongue.
I hope the press there doesn't do the same as the french press did. They would put on a piece that said "Isn't this terrible?" and of course they'd have a few quotes from Le Pen, which they thought were risible, but actually just gave the FN more exposure.
Here's hoping this is their high water mark, and that they sink back into the sludge...
Thanks,
Bill
