THE BNP is against both free speech and democracy. However, it takes advantage of both to stir up hatred and fear in order to move closer to its ultimate goal of a one-party state.
The BNP warns those who speak out against it that they will eventually "pay the ultimate price". Its leader, Nick Griffin, believes that his party should back up this position with "well-directed boots and fists".
He also writes: "When the crunch comes, power is the product of force and will, not of rational debate".
It is ironic a party that claims to love Britain is actively seeking to destroy the very things that make us great: harmony, diversity, tolerance, freedom, respect for other people and the rule of law.
