What about the National Front? I'm Black, but I feel sorry for them. They're not getting a look in even by the racists on yahoo answers. They too want to make Britain a 100% White country. And what about UKIP and Veritas? They're against Multi-culturalism. They're just as bad.

Didn't know the NF were still going.
And you're right to highlight the racist element of the UKIP - the BNP in blazers as one commentator called them.

The BNP have modified their manifesto and image and are on the verge of becoming mainstream. In the recent council elections they polled an average of 14% in those seats that they stood.
The main difference between the two are that the BNP do not hold demonstrations and have toned down their rhetoric. They also have around 10,000 members, whilst the NF probably have less than a few hundred.
UKIP and Veritas are also going the same way as the NF (the former actually have at least one ex-NF member in a prominent position), as the media always refer to the BNP as the anti-immigration party they have capitalised on the protest vote. In one council election recently (Bedworth & Bede) UKIP polled eight votes comapred to 546 for the BNP:
Nuneaton Bede result Lab hold
Lab 658
BNP 546
Con 301
LibDem 119
Eng Dem 75
Save NHS 43
UKIP 8
Nigel Farage the UKIP leader has also been quite a controversial choice, and many UKIP members have resigned as a result. As for Veritas, did they ever really appear as a credible party?

I think Combat 18 are being discriminated against as well. At least Combat 18 could spell, which is more than can be said for the average BNP member

I always thought of the National Front as a bunch of neo-Nazi imbeciles, so I imagine there irrelevance in the grand scheme of things is why people don't "go on about them". I was intending to use the BNP as my protest vote as I'm sick to the back teeth of over political correctness in this country. However I now think the liberals are playing into the BNP's hands and more and more people will realistically turn towards them. It's never been multi-culturalism that I am against, it's the pandering to the "bleeding heart brigade" which has seen the country become infested with illegal immigrants and Islamic extremists which throw our goodwill back in our face. So I think your wrong to compare the BNP & NF as "just as bad".

Yes, the NF are still around, but they are very small in number.
UKIP has a couple of supporters on here but I have no time for them - they are pro business and are effectively a single issue party.
They are all scum as far as I am concerned.

They keep going on about the BNP because they are fed up with our country being over run with immigrants.

Because the BNP is on here trying to recruit.

I wonder if some people don't notice/pay attention to the rascists tones and are more interested in cutting us away from the continent?
