The all encompassing BNP thread - keep all crap in here.

It was called BNP propaganda or something like that. Possibly it has been merged with another thread, but if it was deleted I'd be interested to know why.

Judge Paul Collins is to rule on whether the new BNP constitution is indirectly racist on Friday.

An internal BNP memo seen by the Guardian tells members: "We don't expect any more than a handful of people of ethnic minority origin to apply to join the party nationally, and we will not let this deflect us from our political objectives of saving Britain and restoring the primacy of the indigenous British people."

The legal wrangling comes amid claims of a renewed challenge to the BNP from other extreme rightwing groups. The National Front says it has seen an upsurge in membership enquiries in recent months – mainly from BNP supporters who feel the party is "selling out".

National Front's spokesman, Tom Linden, said there had been a 70% increase in inquiries since Griffin appeared on BBC Question Time and the NF is expected to stand around 25 candidates at the general election.

"The British National party is no longer a white racist party, it is becoming a multi-racial party by giving into the race industry," he said.

I didn't realise the NF still existed.
 
British Nazis are STILL racist scum

The British National Party's new membership rules are likely to discriminate against non-white people, a judge has ruled.
...
Judge Paul Collins ordered the BNP to pay costs and said its membership list must remain "closed" until it complied with race relations laws. Delivering his ruling, he said: "I hold that the BNP are likely to commit unlawful acts of discrimination within section 1b Race Relations Act 1976 in the terms on which they are prepared to admit persons to membership under the 12th addition of their constitution."

Why so? It appears that there is a doubt in the judges mind as to whether the BNP's amended constitution complies with the Race Relations Act - if that is the case then how could he rule otherwise?

Quite, given the BNP's stated reluctance to change (see the memo presented to the court) and the fact that their party beliefs still revolve around racial discrimination, I don't see how any other ruling could have been made.
 
To be honest I don't think it should have gone to court in the first place. We have plenty of exemptions from the various discrimination laws in place already so spreading that to political parties seems a reasonable choice.

Not really a dying breed, more a disenfranchised breed. Effectively we are saying "You cannot have a voice for your political views because we do not like them." I personally think that is wrong and somewhat dangerous.

Yes the truth is that everyone should be up in arms about this. Even those who may utterly despise the BNP and everything they stand for, should nonetheless be united in opposition to this attack on DEMOCRACY.

They are essentially banning political views they do not like, and trying to kill off a political party which they see as a threat. God knows they may succeed because they hold all the cards. This is fascism, plain and simple.
