BNP Watch Shining a bright light on policies and conduct of the British National Party

It is no wonder that Nick Griffin's future hangs in the balance: the BNP have lost 26 of their councillors, down to just 19 (see figures from the BBC). This is good news for people who support the BNP's crime reduction policies because research published in January concluded BNP election victories lead to a rise in hate crime.

It's a new day after the 2010 Election, and Nick's got another battle to fight:

There were calls last night on far-right websites for Mr Griffin to resign after a troubled campaign that started with allegations of a plot by senior members to depose him...

A woman reports on how she was followed and punched in the back of the head by BNP canvassers.

OK, so it turns out if you shout at the BNP, they follow you down the street later and punch you in the back of the head, and the jaw. Oops. — http://twitter.com/mildlydiverting/status/13365460076

The party that claimed to be honest and transparent in its financial management is being investigated by the Electoral Commission following concerns raised by the independent auditor.

If your party platform is all about people and the place they live (Britain for the British, if anyone can get the BNP to coherently explain what they mean), then you really need to know what Britain is. Hear Nick stumble over himself at the BBC.

The BNP say they are "the real green party" and now they've shown their true colours: The BNP was the only party to express serious doubts over the claims of "global warming".

The Guardian also reported back in December 2009 that the BNP said:

More electioneering gaffes: the BNP are in hot water after using Marmite's image to promote their party.

From The BBC:

The maker of Marmite is threatening legal action against the British National Party to stop it from using a jar of the spread in a party broadcast.
Unilever said it had not given the BNP permission to use its product and was looking into taking out an injunction.

The war in Afghanistan was used as a stunt by the BNP in an attempt to win over voters in Barking, Essex. Sadly they couldn't find a real army man to stand beside them in uniform.

From The New Statesman:

All publicity is good publicity, so the saying goes. Still, I'm not quite sure what the BNP's head of publicity was thinking when he was arrested for allegedly threatening to kill Nick Griffin.

A former leader of the BNP in Stoke-on-Trent has quit his old party and is standing as an independent candidate in the general election.
