Nick Griffin, Leader of the BNP has been arrested. Griffin claims that the arrest is under an unjust law and he therefore has no obligation to follow it.
In 1998, Griffin was convicted of inciting racial hatred for publishing material that denied the Holocaust. He received a nine-month prison sentence, which was suspended for two years.
This is not news, but it is the standard of reporting that the Right Wing Terror will bring. Commited Anarchists might not want to vote, but voting might be the only way to dilute the share of the vote that Fascists get. Only by showing how tiny the Fascist Party share of popular opinion truly is can Fascists be put in their place. Which is nowhere near power.
If 100 people vote and the BNP get 10 votes, they get 10%. If 500 people vote they get 2%. The first strategy lets them in, the second keeps them out. Given the BNP and Establishment sponsored low turnout, every vote might count.
