How would you deal with them?
This is a freedom of expression issue, and this is what the protestors are attacking, not the BNP.
I would have thought you might be sympathetic to the right to freedom of expression given the attention you receive from the resident hyper-sensitive RHP censor.

Their opinions should be heard. Not allowing them air time forces them underground and then there's less social control (observation) of what they're doing and saying.
However, the anti-fascist movement is quite right to protest. Who the hell in their right minds wants a fascist, anti-islamic, holocaust denier to be able to say what he wants without making sure everyone knows that it will not stand?
And that is why the BBC was right to allow him on the programme and the anti-fascist protestors are right to rebel against the BNP.
The only reasoning that is wrong on this issue, in my humble opinion, is not saying anything. Just letting it happen.
