Does it make one iota of difference, whether or not this person is a member of the BNP, Labour Party, Conservative Party or even Communist Party, she is teaching ballet, which has nothing to do with her politics?
Regarding her teaching children as young as 3, does it make these children at risk in any way?
At the time anti-fascist demonstrators disrupted a performance of Giselle at the London Coliseum in which Miss Clarke, who was dubbed the 'BNP ballerina', took the starring role.
Those anti-fascist demonstrators again !!!!!! pathetic.

Your examples actually carry some weight but you're not talking about racism.
A black man cannot express racism against another black man - full stop...because they're both black.
An Indian cannot express racist attitudes against a Pakistani, for the same reason.
You question the employment of non-Indians in Indian restaurants. If you have any figures on the number of court cases where whites have been discriminated against with regards to employment in any of these establishments, I'd be pleased to see them.
Fact is - I can't think of a single instance where any of my friends, children of my friends or work colleagues has EVER applied for a job in an Indian restaurant...you know why? Because overwhelmingly, they're family run. People don't get turned down for jobs there...because they don't ever get advertised!
Same witbh Chinese restaurants.
It's an astonishingly specious argument.

I take offence at that racist remark you made to New judge.
As I have said previously how many Black charity tin rattlers do you see on any street corner?
How many Black voluntary workers do you see going out to Africa to try and make life out there a little more like the Blacks in this country enjoy?
sp1814 You are more a racist than anyone on this site, and if you find Whites so repulsive why live in a European country?

"As I have said previously how many Black charity tin rattlers do you see on any street corner?"
I used to live in Herne Hill which meant I caught the tube to work from Brixton, so the answer to your question is, "loads, and they're as difficult to avoid as their white counterparts"
How many Black voluntary workers do you see going out to Africa to try and make life out there a little more like the Blacks in this country enjoy?
I have absolutely no idea...because I don't scan the tv news in order to prop up personal prejusices.
sp1814 You are more a racist than anyone on this site, and if you find Whites so repulsive why live in a European country?
The first statement is so hilariously untrue...so I'm assuming that you're pulling my leg. I have absolutely no problem with white people. I've grown up with white people, the best man at my wedding is a white chap, and so is my partner. My issue is with white racists. I'm sure that there must be loads of blacks and Asian bigots, but I've been fortunate not to know any.
White racists however, are all too common and difficult to avoid.
As to why I live here? Well, it's my country, I've paid a huge sum of money in tax and NI which means I have a personal, economical and emotional attachment to the UK.
Anyone who suggests that I leave MY OWN COUNTRY, rather than fight against bigotry is frankly, missing the point.
A welcome return of the "Why don't you just go home"

Racism is racial prejudice coupled with a a degree of power which is used to deny rights of those from OTHER races.
A white British man could say "I hate all Germans and won't employ them in my company".
Technically, he could be prosecuted under the relevent race relations act, but essentially, that makes no sense - as they are both of the same race. There is no such thing as 'a race of Germans'. It is 'a nation of Germans' and so on.
The above is an example of nationalistic bigotry, or perhaps xenophobia.
It's not racism.
Current thinking suggest that there are three main races in the world:
the Major races are.
Caucasion:
Skull: Dolicephalic(Long-Head),High forehead,Little supraobital development.
Face: Mainly Leptoproscopic( Narrow)Sometimes Meso- or even Euryproscopic, Neither Facial nor alveolar prognathism occurs except among some archaic peoples.
Nose:Long,narrow,high in both root and bridge.
Mongoloid:
Skull: High incidence of Brachycephaly(Short Round Head)
American Indians while Mongoloid are often Dolicephalic.
Foreheads slightly lower than that of the Caucasoid.
No Supraobital development.
Face: Wide and short, projecting cheek bones, Prognathism rare. Shovel shaped incisors common especialy in Asia.
Nose: Mesorine(Low and Broad in both root and bridge.
Negroid:
Skull: usually Dolicephalic, a small minority are Brachycephalic.
Forehead most often high, little supraobital development.
Face: Leproscopic (to a much lesser degree than the Caucasion), Prognathism common in most Negro populations.
Nose: Low & broad in root and bridge with characteristic depression at root.

In answer to the question, I think it does make a difference in this case. The reason is because the BNP is an openly racist organisation, and being a racist is not just a political viewpoint. It's a bit like choosing to be a paedophile. It says something about your morality to the rest of us.
Are the kids going to be at risk in any way? Doubtful, but it's the kind of thing parents should know, that their child is attending classes held by a racist, particularly if they're not white. Whatever colour, they'd still want to know, so they can take a view on whether they want her to have any contact with their kids.
