  Please pardon me being an American, but I'd like to weigh in on this matter.   The most damaging about this is some good, honest, traditional British folk are going to be persecuted on the account of wanting to keep Britain, British. In a truly free society, the publishing of a list like this is a non-issue. People shouldn't have to be fearful of expressing opinions in a true democracy, especially opinions as reasonable and articulate as the BNP.  I do think there is a silver lining to this happening. The BNP is in the news and they are the perceived victims, so naturally there is going to be some inherent sympathy for the BNP. Also, as others have said, it has revealed the high quality nature of the BNP membership with doctors, nurses, and other higher income demographic within the ranks. Clearly, the BNP has started to shed the low income working class image that has so long plagued Nationalist politics.  As for the commies? Let them harass and threaten. They'll play right into the BNP hands, as will the government if they start trying to persecute the members across the board. It'll just mean more headlines, more coverage, and more sympathy for the BNP. It will also expose who the true totalitarians are, once and for all.   Could not have put it better.:clink
