BNP - not racist?

I've been reading an awful lot about the BNP in the lead up to the party's leader, Nick Griffin, appearing on Question Time tonight. One article that particularly caught my eye was on the BBC News website as the corporation continues to stir up interest in tonight's show. Dominic Casciani interviews several people, including the BNP group leader on Barking Council, Bob Bailey:

"They can be civically British, with a passport, but they're not ethnically British. Let's face it, it's the look-test," he says.

Well, Bob, lots of people ask me if I'm Irish... does that mean I fail the 'look test' and should go home to, er, Buckinghamshire?
