AN unnamed correspondent claims that Adam Walker “uses spurious and irrelevant arguments to present the BNP as an ‘ordinary’ political party” (HAS, July 4).

Trouble is that this correspondent doesn’t tell us what these “spurious arguments” are (never mind what the flaw in them is).

Presumably, this is because the correspondent can’t.

The correspondent also makes the bizarre claim that BNP events are always “surrounded by riot police, protecting the public from the criminals in the BNP”. It’s actually the other way round: at numerous events in the past year or two it is members of far-left organisations, like Unite Against Fascism, who have perpetrated the “fascist” violence and been arrested, while BNP members have obeyed the law.

Examples of this include: the recent egg throwing incident outside the House of Commons; Adam Walker’s hearing in Birmingham last year; the BNP “Red, White and Blue” meeting last summer; and a riot in Liverpool where someone’s head was split open.
