THE BNP attacks people for genetic flukes of skin colour and for family history of migration and creed. They are attacking "faults" that are not within the individual's political sovereignty.

The Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and Leon Trotsky might be objectionable but Trots argue about matters within an individual's political control. They do hold that all are equal before the law and in the economy, even if fraternity is in short supply.

By definition a BNP member can not with impartiality and disinterest serve in the office of police constable because they do not hold all the Crown's subjects to be equal "under God with liberty and justice for all".
