    I have been arguing for some time that the BNP have nothing to do with right-wing politics, but it is always to good a talking point from left-wing commentators to introduce discussion on the BNP as the party from the far right of politics.
    This has been patently evident from where the BNP derive their core vote, and the fact that inner c-ty labour heaertland is the place that gets bled for new BNP votes, but why let truth get in the way of thing?

    It looks like the New Statesmen wishes to introduce a little intellectual honesty into the debate.
    You have no left-wing parties in the UK anymore. And hardly any centrist parties. New labour belongs on the right, whether BNP is further to the right than that isn't really important, they still belong on the right, left of labour or not.

    Anyway..... Ever heard of the concept of "the third way"...? You might want to check it out. Heck, you might even understand that the political world is too diverse and complicated to be divided into just two terms! Go for it!

    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
