LET me try and answer some of the points made on the Letters page (November 23).
One BNP member writes: "I am disconcerted to see the number of mosques and other non-Christian religious buildings in this English city".
Sorry, but surely one of the important aspects of a democratic society is the ability of all faiths to worship their god in their own "House of Worship". As to the war-time service of the 'millions of others', yes we fought to rid the world of fascism - but now we find it back on our own doorstep in the guise of the BNP.
As to B. Baron and the British Empire, it seems that it is OK for British forces to invade other countries and establish the British Empire but not OK for others, such as Vikings and Normans, to do the same.
J. Renniker denies that BNP policy is mass deportation of ethnic minorities. It is true that the BNP has dropped its policy of compulsory repatriation and replaced it with a voluntary scheme. The question is: what happens to those who refuse to be ''volunteers'? It is obvious that a BNP government would forcibly 'repatriate' those who do not take up the offer.
The point about reading the BNP manifesto would make sense if the manifesto were available, but search as you may it can not be found. One would expect to find it on the BNP web site but it is not there. I wonder why they are so shy?
The 2001 manifesto is instructive in that it says "native Britons", who must be white, would be given priority over "non-whites".
Finally, Mrs Crompton says: "The BNP are not Nazis".
In that case, why is it that wherever they meet they use the Nazi salute, scrawl swastikas on walls and gravestones and are even photographed wearing Nazi uniforms in front of pictures of Adolf Hitler?
