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

This story from The Guardian:

One of the highest-profile members of the British National party has been banned from sitting on his local council for a month and censured by the Greater London authority after giving false details about murders on a video blog.

Behaviour like this is not going to win the trust of the voters, and it's not going to help you serve those who did vote for you either!

I'm sure that some BNP supporters will think of BNP Watch as "yet another anti-BNP website". I'd like to draw attention to the following quote taken from BBC Newsbeat's interview of Nick Griffin MEP:

Rosie from Hertfordshire said: 'I'd like to ask Nick Griffin how he sleeps at night knowing he stands for prejudice and overtly discriminate politics. The BNP is disgusting.'

I sleep very well and Rosie's entitled to her view and although I disagree with it I'd fight to the death to allow her to have those views.

Touché, Mr Griffin MEP!

Following in the footsteps of the police and armed forces, and after campaigns by trade unions, the government is going to investigate whether the BNP actually are racist.

"It is a conspiracy against me, my party and the indigenous people of this country." The court found him guilty of failing to provide a breath specimen.

The Italian Roberto Fiore, convicted and sentenced for being a member of the political wing of the Armed Revolutionary Nuclei, addressed the BNP's Red, White and Blue Festival on August 16th.

On 20th August a racist teenager who bullied a 14 year old girl to the brink of suicide walked free from court with a six month supervision order and a fine.

The case where the Equalities and Human Rights Commission is seeking an injunction against the BNP has been adjourned. It claims the BNP are breaking the Race Relations Act. Stephen Tyler, the BNP Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Bermondsey in south east London, claimed the BNP had "a lot of supporters from ethnic minorities [...] they understand why the membership list is closed to them."

Matthew Single has been found guilty of a breach of the Data Protection Act 1998, and has been fined £200 for publishing the BNP's 2007 membership list on the Internet.

Four protesters were arrested, 19 people were held for ‘sporadic behaviour’, 500 police officers were involved in a £500,000 operation around the BNP’s annual festival of ‘family-friendly’ white supremacy and racial hatred, which also includes morris dancing and ‘traditional food’.

An active member of the BNP in Yorkshire faces religious hatred charges after distributing a leaflet that blames all Muslims for the trade in heroin. Many of those who received the leaflet contacted police expressing concern over the content of the leaflet. The case will be heard in September.
