The BNP have used their Twitter account to seemingly endorse the article (see attached screenshot). Perhaps this counts as impact?

It has received a lot of attention and critical-negative response, and I think it is something that BSA Race and Ethnicity study group and email list members should know about (those who do not already). I am including a link to the article (not an endorsement) and a link to responses to it in the letter section.
