I completely agree with you on this one. I'd also extend my concerns to more subtle things like politicians walking off stage when a newly elected BNP member of some parliament or other (the London Assembly in Barnbrook's case; the Euro parliament in Griffin's) go forward to make their thank-you speeches. Obviously you can't completely legitimise the BNP, but treating them as outcasts just plays into their hands, as you say.
