BNP thuggery
It has a long record of promoting open, unnecessary and uncalled for hostility against Southern European countries, through prominent party members/advisors. This has been done through the spread of a mixture of manipulation of history and distorted interpretation of genetic data. For it they have used their own web as well as their share in white supremacist boards (which well-known BNP members finance and co-control) such as Stormfront.
There has also been an (unofficial) policy of internet yobbing by BNP ordinary members/cyber-thugs.
The relation of this to "ethnic nationalism" and to the issue of non European immigration in Britain remains to this day unexplained and unclear. All I can conclude from judging the facts is that it is nothing but an extension of BNP thuggish nature on the internet.
Interesting to notice, before this was even known, the BNP had the little decency of asking Nationalists from at least one of those countries (namely Democracia Nacional, in Spain) to campaign on their behalf among the British immigrants in that country.
In the future, a campaign to warn the large British immigrant community in Spain against the BNP thuggery, is something that should be considered.
You might also want to consider that the Irish and the Scotts, the Welsh, and the English are different ethnicities. And that at least the Irish would very much appreciate it if the "British" got off their backs for a change.
"British" is a political construct derived from an imperialist past, not an ethnic/national identity. English is an ethnic/national identity.
