Good things:

Going to see darwinian_woman last night, who was looking radiant, if in an awful lot of pain. Managed to stay an hour after visiting time and play with a cuddly-toy Darwin.

Good things disguised as bad things:

These guys getting a televised party political broadcast last night, which should split the BNP vote quite nicely.

should split the BNP vote quite nicely

Would BNP voters go for a party led by an Afro-Caribbean man? And their party platform, at least as summarized by Wikipedia, doesn't seem anti-immigrant (just crazy in a whole lot of other ways).

I think that there is interest in the BNP outside the anti-immigrant stance; they are also anti-abortion, anti-equality, and supposedly 'pro-family-values'. Certainly the racists aren't going to be jumping ship, but there is more to the BNP than that in my experience (although my experience is biased, I suppose, as I was doing some work on them for a gay rights charity).

Ah, okay. I don't know much about the BNP beyond the obvious racism/anti-immigrant stuff.

My only experience with them is to ritualistically burn any leaflet I get from them...

You could upload it to theStraightChoice.org (http://thestraightchoice.org) before burning. Then someone may find it of use to uncover deception (http://www.newspeak.org.uk/2009/05/13/british-national-party-voters-dont-exist/).
