Clever, but no cigar.

I didn’t write that I want to keep any political affiliations secret, what I wrote was “Such, if any, political affiliation or sympathies or support ..” leaving the possibility that I had NO political affiliations solidly on the table. Nor did I write that I wanted to keep anything secret, simply that it was no one else’s business, a very different thing.

I do NOT know that the vast majority of BNP members are not racist any more than I know that the vast majority of the BNP supporters, a very different thing than members, are not racist though I suspect that in the latter such is probably the case.

How do you interpret the police service as being a racist organisation?

No doubt there are serving officers who are many things, but the police service goes to great lengths to be absolutely non racist, lengths that in my opinion actually go a bit too far.

If by BJ you mean Boris Johnson, how can it be that an ordinary member of the party makes comments that could be twisted into racist by some left wing idealist (but actually were not), can then be extrapolated as meaning the whole of the conservative party itself was a racist organisation?

The idea is ludicrous.

Now if the leader of the Conservative party had a history that included (and still includes) holocaust denial, the promotion of uber und unter menshen, the inferiority of Black people over White, and suchlike, and was supported by his First Line and more, they you would have grounds to make the assertion but such is not the case.

On the other hand there are political and quasi political organisations that are in precisely that position.

I don’t. The BNP is one of several of what in my opinion and the opinion of the majority of decent British people are detestable organisations.
