Fuckity fuck ...

Dear BNP,
Fuck off.

Dear Labour Voters who voted for the BNP,
It may shock you to realise this, but David Cameron is a decent person and while I may personally disagree with many of his party's policies, they will not destroy the country. Giving power to a bunch of racist thugs will. If you must protest, and I accept there is a lot to protest, vote for the Conservatives. That you should vote for those execrable scum in the BNP at the same time as celebrating the 65th anniversary of one of the greatest stands against fascist bigotry the world has seen should fill you with shame.

I've little experience of them in fantasy novels, but there are several great examples of them in history, including Machiavelli himself. And yes, exactly right as to the archetype. The funny thing is that he was not wrong in what he wrote, only in committing it to type when a phone call would have sufficed and left no trace.

You d find that sometimes the cleverest people are utterly lacking in common sense (or are feckless, as my dad puts it)!
