Speaking of obliteration, since the European and local elections, the BNP is, to all intents and purposes, extinct.
It now holds 0/650 seats in the House of Commons, 0/73 in the European Parliament, 1/21,871 in local councils. Its membership is probably well down on the last reliable figure of four thousand-odd at the end of 2012.
Griffin has no seat, having won 1.87% of the votes in his European constituency.
Not before time.
