Yes, I believe it's about twenty, according to the last iteration of the BNP membership list to be published online. 6% of Arrsers say they'll support the BNP? Possibly, but we have to remember that whenever we have our friendly little chats on Arrse about the BNP, a slew of new members turn up to offer their positive opinions of the delightful Mr Griffin and his cuddly gang.

PTP said the same about another poll but then nothing stops ANL and UAF from doing the same.
I suspect you are well aware that members and voters are not always the same thing.
Do really think its only a small number (compared to civvie street)? I'm sure I've mentioned before in our friendly little chats that people said the same about them 20 years ago in civvie street now they get free publicity on QT.

Which didn't raise their level of support at all

Yeah and this board has real sympathy for young people who do silly things when pi55ed. I recall the sensitivity with which the unfortunate case of young Phil Laing, was treated, for example.

You never cease to amaze me Ashie. You should be condemning racism and the sort of Facebook groups he belongs to but instead you take the opportunity to have a swipe at ARRSE members. You're not pro-Government or pro-Labour are you? You're just anti ARRSE.

I was simply pointing out cognitive dissonance.

Yes, or almost- almost- like the same 6 BNP squaddies are constantly starting and commenting on Arrse BNP threads and other internet fora- often with the same username- with an unvarying, deeply dull series of thoughts like:

"I think Griffin done quite well on QT- it makes you think, dunnit?"
"The BNP are only saying wot we're all thinking"

and so on, as if- and bear with me while I adjust my tinfoil beret here- they've been told to maximise the BNP's pitiful recent publicity splurge by going on and on and fcuking on about them.

Well thats all right then if only a million people vote for them

And in the link you put on the other thread I saw this

Not yet is an important caveat. The alarmists have focused on last Saturday’s YouGov poll in the Telegraph identifying 15 per cent who say it was possible that they would vote BNP in a future local, general or European election, and the 7 per cent who say they would “definitely or probably” consider doing so. But the same poll showed BNP support still at just 3 per cent.

It might end with "only" (that "only" being being a far larger number than it was 22 years ago) 3%, but it also says 15% might vote BNP in the future still you can safely ignore that for now and it will all go away.

As opposed to certain people on immigration threads saying

"You're all racist"

As opposed to certain people on BNP voter threads saying

"You're all racists"
"What? All one million on them?"
"Yes they are all racists and now I've said that they will never vote for them again"

As opposed to whatever minority gets special treatment thread saying

"You're all racist"

Yes I must admit I think I can see why the BNP doesn't have to pay much for advertising when those people are about.
