BNP hate threat to our way of life  The rise of the BNP is the most serious threat to race relations the UK has ever faced, according to a trade union leader. Speaking at the launch of Solutions, a Birmingham based charity to combat race and hate crime, Unison's political services manager for the West Midlands, Tony Rabaiotti, said the far-right party had become more dangerous since activists changed the way they dress. He said: It's my view that the BNP is the most serious threat to democracy and racial harmony that this country has ever known. That is because they have thrown away their boots and braces and put on their suits under their current leader, Nick Griffin. It has led to them slowly but surely winning political power up and down the country.       You couldn't make it up...   Before the general election, I wrote to every Unison member in Stoke-on-Trent and parts of the Black Country, urging them not to vote for the BNP. My name was at the bottom of the letter with my direct telephone number.    The hate mail and the loathsome and threatening telephone calls I received were frankly incredible. They abused my name because it is Italian. Some of them thought it was Jewish, which takes us right back to the Second World War. I have no doubt that we are dealing with a very serious threat in the West Midlands   Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah mwahahahahahahahahahah:rofl hahahaha
