It seems that Ed Balls is considering a ban on members of the BNP being allowed to be teachers. This is apparently as a means to ban the party itself.
I personally do not find the party in any way attractive, but then I don't find Ed Balls, who has much in common with the BNP, very attractive either.
The BNP is a legal party, and as long as they stay within the law, it should not be an offence to belong to it. They make an unappetising picture with their thugs/bodyguards, their imagery and their policies which are unlikely to do anything for community cohesion. They bring a bad name to our Union Flag. None of these things is illegal.
There is something deep down in the consciousness of the left in this country, some of whom will behave like fascists in breaking up BNP meetings, that responds aggressively to the BNP. I have suggested that there isso much overlap of policies between the BNP and the far left, so perhaps the matter is one of competition, of "likes" repelling "likes".
