"The British National Party offers little more than Holocaust denial and far-left economic policies that would ruin the UK."

"The label 'far right' gets attached all too readily to the BNP, but it is as misleading as it is lazy. The BNP is a party of the left. Left-wing journal the New Statesman observes:

"Griffin describes himself as a 'Strasserite.' Here is what Gregor Strasser has to say:
