So the popular myth that the media would like to portray is that the BNP only has a nominal amount of support with the British public. But as FACEBOOK proved just before christmas, when they ensured "rage against the machine" got to number 1. That facebook users don't just follow the media driven trends they collate their own support and back who they want, not who they are told to.
Here is a list of politicians and parties based on members and supporters from FACEBOOK. The BNP is a major force and one which is supported by more people than the media would lead you to believe.
