It was bad eggs all round on Tuesday when anti fascist protesters pelted the Bad News Party Leader Nick Griffin and his Nazi supporting colleague Andrew Brons MEP.
The problem with such stunts is that they make these spokesmen for the racist BNP martyrs in the eyes of their followers.
I always remind people attracted to the simplistic messages of the BNP of what Pastor Martin Neimoller wrote of the Nazis who imprisoned him.
"In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant." "Then they came for me --- and by that time no one was left to speak up."
