That may be the message you would like to send by it, but that's not the one that I'd expect to be heard by everyone, and certainly not by BNP supporters. Walking off-stage and refusing to listen is a little bit too much like taking one's ball home in a fit of pique.

I think this goes to the heart of the matter, really. What I am really hoping for is a society where the BNP becomes less popular, and that's the single most important thing. If, as I believe, encouraging a martydom/plucky underdog complex will increase its popularity, then I perceive that as something to be avoided. I think the crux of the disagreement here is whether that is actually the case or not, and that's a valid and interesting debate in my view.
