I have trouble believing the size of the BNP vote. It's a horrible thought for someone Jewish. I've always been told the holocaust could never have happened in the UK and assumed any BNP voters would number under 100, but if several thousand accross the UK support them I'm starting to imagine ways a large minority of evil people could get into power.
