How to handle the BNP?

I have already blogged this week my angst about whether we should ignore or directly address the BNP.

Nick Robinson in his blog takes a very interesting slant on what is a very complex, and emotional issue, by offering an analysis of the changing political communication strategy being used to combat the BNP. He notes that thus far the parties have coluded to essentially ignore the BNP, believing that this approach will starve the party of publicity. However, Robinson notes that sections of the establishment and some party figures have abandoned this strategy by taking on the BNP head on. The goalposts, therefore, appear to be moving and it will be interesting to see what happens in the months ahead.

But given that the Battle of Britain appears to have become a political football, I shall dust down my airfix model of a Spitfire MkIV and remember that the few were fighting against fascism and for a free, tolerant society.
