We live in a democracy, and they are democratically elected. Just because we dislike their views, that does not mean that they cannot air them. The advantage of free speech is that it encourages debate and freedom of thought, not just what one group wish them to say. As much as I loathe their politics they are free to promote their views as long as they do not incite racial hatred (which they don't) or condone violence to achieve their aims.
60million people died to save the world from Nazism (not facisim) and the over riding factor was that our life of freedom should not be impinged upon by anyone else. Just because we dislike what the BNP stand for, that does not mean that we should neuter them. They should be defeated by intellect and passion, not by idiots like the UAF who feel that they have a god given right to decide who is allowed to speak and who is not - and that philosophy is more akin to Nazism than what the BNP espouses
