To me they always seemed like the sort of right wingers who claimed to support Israel only because they thought it gave them a mandate to hate Muslims as Socialists.

Then it is clear that Pat cannot be linked to them. He has attacked the BNP repeatedly, clearly and left no doubt on what he thinks of them. Even more underhanded to link him to them, then.
