According to this Guardian report, the British National Party (BNP) chairman is under pressure from 'racial nationalists' because of his alleged 'moderate' policies, specifically his wish that non-whites be permitted to join the party.
The BNP is a sinister and worrying organisation. One part of me sees it as potentially beneficial that the party becomes even more extreme because it is likely its growing support may drop-off to leave a much smaller extremist core of members; on the other hand this smaller band of misfits might be more dangerous in practical terms. Of only one thing am I certain; it is better not to try and drive this kind of organisation underground as at least whilst the party remains legal they act as a kind of safety-valve for some of the bigots amongst us.
