We need to hear more voices like this, and Nick Griffin and his cronies need to go.
Oh, and let us be clear, it should not be incumbent upon anyone with dark skin to march in the streets with a Nationalist organization in order to prove their loyalty to the British ethic (ideology). Instead, the government should do (as all governments ought to do) define Britain as a set of ideas, and codify those ideas, and anyone applying for citizenship ought to be expected to learn those ideas, and pass a test on those ideas, and express their allegiance to those ideas, before they are granted citizenship.
My wife and her family are Filipino. As Filipinos, they were not able to make a run across the border. Instead, they had to enter the United States on Green Cards, and gradually go through the proper channels towards citizenship. They all had to take classes in what it meant to be an American, they had to study the ideas of our Constitution, and they had to pass tests, and swear their allegiance to our Nation.
After that, they are as Free, as any other American is, to express their dissatisfaction with our government in words, or demonstrations, and they are free to vote for any political Party on the ticket. That is their right, as it should be, as it is expressed in our Constitution, our set of ideas, our American ideology ...
... not our Ethnic heritage.

The argument that it is "not American" to accept or reject a person based upon their chosen religion, seems to make sense. HOWEVER, we need to understand religions are ideologies, not simply institutions brimming over with nice, spiritual feelings. Religions...

Up Pompeii Makes A Plea For the BNP To Redefine Itself As An Ideological Party As Opposed to Being An Ethnic Nationalist Party
We need to hear more voices like this, and Nick Griffin and his cronies need to go.
From Up Pompeii:
Being British and the BNP, careful now...
I think that the BNP is falling into a trap and it could damage its chances of winning enough votes and being seen as a viable alternative to the corrupt lot that run us at this point and not forgetting the gutless lot that will be in power afterwards.
It is the hit job carried out by the BBC in terms of the painful way that the BNP defined Black Britons and Asian Britons, however the BNP is wrong in calling people black residents of the UK for example.
Here is how I would do it, use English Scottish, Irish and Welsh and the origin of the person to define ethnicity, and then use the term British citizen for anyone who accepts and lives under what we call British values, no matter what their colour or ethnic background. But it is then key to make being a Citizen mean something, certainly following a certain religion called Islam should be a major negative because it does not have the golden rule, all other religions do.
The issue for the BNP is that people like me cannot vote for a party that refuses to call someone like that man from Sri Lankan who accepted British values as British, nor can I accept that Pte Johnson Beharry who won a VC in Iraq is not British, nor can I accept that the young black man carrying a sign against Islamics in Luton who was at the front of that demo as anything but British, he cared enough to stand up, so care for him too.
Oh, and let us be clear, it should not be incumbent upon anyone with dark skin to march in the streets with a Nationalist organization in order to prove their loyalty to the British ethic (ideology). Instead, the government should do (as all governments ought to do) define Britain as a set of ideas, and codify those ideas, and anyone applying for citizenship ought to be expected to learn those ideas, and pass a test on those ideas, and express their allegiance to those ideas, before they are granted citizenship.
