Their official policies are fine (well, they are incoherent and contradictory, as well as not being in the best interests of the country, but that's irrelevent). Fact is many of their members are members of Stormfront, support Red Watch (through which they've make threatening phonecalls to a few people I know, and people like the BNP Youth Leader post pictures there, although BNP official policy is to avoid the site), Mark Collett, the ex-BNP youth leader, is a public admirer of Hitler (suppose thats more honest then an underground admirer of Hitler).
Their leadership consists of People like Nick Griffin. Now you may argue a leopard can change his spots, but Most of their leaders are the same.
They see the partiessaying "we wont debate with the BNP", and they see the media stopping BNP's political broadcasts. They see the overtly political correct media and immediatly sympaphise with the other extreme. They see Channel 4 pulling Documentries because "it might increase votes for the BNP.
Instead of beinging the BNP into the open, the countries media, unions and politicians try to force them underground. They use the same excuse, to "starve them of oxygen". It's pathetic, and worrysing. It leads the British public to vote for the BNP as all they hear is the "acceptable side" and the "rabid anti BNP" side. They dont see reasoned debate, they dont see the truth.
I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. Twice in the last year certain groups at Exeter University have tried to ban a particularly nasty political party from debates on campus. Of course this was shot down, both times, by a large majority.
Ban groups and more people support them. You fight lies with the truth, not silence.
Of course many "Socialists" in the UK think that the general populace can't be trusted not to fall into the trap of believing what the BNP et.al. say.
I'd wager with the 50s limits a millionaire would pay less tax then someone on $200k. The problem is the loopholes that rich people can exploit with expensibe accountants
So we didn't need innovation when the phones were still switched manually. Or when you used to have pulse dial? Or before things like 1471 to get last number called, or ADSL?
There are many natual monopolies, rail infrastructure, sewers, roads, the local loop. A phone company is not one.
The cost is substantially less in privatised companies as theres a motive.
SO isntead of paying 30p/minute to Greece as I did under the old nationalised BT, I now pay 1p/minute. Instead of chugging along on 56k with no alternative, I have 2Mbit ADSL. Instead of paying 10p/minute for phone calls I pay 6p/hour. And thats bad why?
Competition drives prices down and innovation up. That's why monopolies are so bad - no competition.
Did the wolly mamouths in the last Ice Age drive Hummers? Did the grapes growing in scotland 600 years ago die off because of horse manure? Climate changes with or without us.

Trouble is the truth is hidden by the left, and all the public see are FBU trying to sack workers with views they don't agree with, Schools suspending teachers, and trying to sack governers (both because of union involvment), Blunkett trying to sack BNP policemen, etc.

Also, why does noone every defend the 3rd ammendment?

6 is the right number, it divides up so easilly. 6*1, 3*2, 2*3, or any combination.
3 is just ugly.

The "shortest path between two nodes" is definately in P, computable by Dijkstra's Shortest Path algorithm, for example.
Or isorox's Straight Line algorithm
