The British National Party and Popular Frontism

What is the nature of today’s BNP? Is its shift to right wing populism electoralism merely a facade for the continued fascist sympathies of leading cadre like Member of the European Parliament Nick Griffin?

James Turley of the CPGB discusses these questions in talk he gave to the CPGB’s annual school – the Communist University.
