It's not tolkenism.

Or at least recruit a "Voice of the BNP" columnist?"<br /><br />It's not impossible that the Mail and/or Express would formally endorse the BNP at some time in the future but they are much more likely to back UKIP before that. The BNP would have to grow substantially with Griffin winning Barking and at least a bloc of BNP MP's in Parliament. That still looks quite a long way off. What does act as a brake to a Littlejohn or Hitchens backing the BNP is the affect it will have on their newspaper's advertisers. Remember when Jane Moir wrote that homophobic article about the death of Steven Gately in the Daily Mail a month or so ago? Pressure groups lent on companies like Marks and Spencer (who presumably care about the 'pink pound'!) to withdraw lucrative advertising. The Daily Mail turned tail and forced Moir to write a retraction. Now if the Mail backed the BNP, anti-fascist groups could do the same along the lines of, "do you want your brand or product associated with a BNP newspaper?".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-19084756808228516482009-12-15T10:29:16.844+00:002009-12-15T10:29:16.844+00:00How long will it be before the Mail or the Express...How long will it be before the Mail or the Express (or, for that matter, the Star), regardless of their occasional, and tokenistic "Nothing British about the BNP" articles, come out as BNP supporters?
