County names appear on BNP membership list

A full list of British National Party members was removed from an internet blog today after complaints by the far right group. The list of 12,000 names included 68 members from Gloucestershire. However, their names cannot be revealed due to an injunction obtained by the far-right party. The BNP’s spokesman Simon Darby said they had contacted bosses at a company involved with the blog to warn them of the consequences if it was not taken down. He said: “We made representations to the offices of the company involved, stating the implications of what was happening and it seems to have worked.” The list of more than 12,000 names included addresses and contact details, as well as members’ jobs. Some were listed as former police officers and members of the armed forces. According to the BNP, the published list is based on its 2007 membership list although a number of names of people who were not, or are not, party members had allegedly been added. Earlier this year, the party said it obtained an injunction at the High Court in Manchester banning any publication of the list.

The Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) campaign has welcomed the publication of the British Nation Party’s entire membership list. The list, which appeared online on Monday (November 17th) evening, includes the names and personal membership details of police officers and teachers. In a statement, LMHR said those exposed as members who worked within a public service should be “viewed as infiltrators, there to promote racism and fascism”; Police probe claims that officer is BNP member. Nick Griffin: “If we find out who it was and they are one of those covered by the High Court injunction, then they are going to prison.”A police force today started an investigation “as a matter of urgency” into claims that a serving officer is a member of the British National Party. The allegations emerged after the publication of a list of BNP supporters on an internet blog. Meanwhile the party leader Nick Griffin said threatened court action. He said: “It was entirely wrongly used without authority by a very small group of previous party members who were expelled late last year who then passed it on, to who we simply don’t know. “All we can say is that if we find out who it was and they are one of those covered by the High Court injunction, then they are going to prison.” Mr Griffin claimed that members had received threatening calls as a result of the list’s publication – calls he said were part of an “established dirty tricks campaign” from the Labour Party; NUJ blasts ‘hypocritical’ BNP. The National Union of Journalists has blasted the BNP as showing “a staggering hypocricy” by saying publication of the list breached member’s privacy. The entire membership list of the BNP was posted the internet today, exposing more than 10,000 members of the far-Right organisation, including a serving police officer, a vicar, members of the Armed Forces and children. NUJ general secretary Jeremy Dear said: “For years we have been demanding government action to close down websites such as Redwatch which seek to intimidate and silence media by publishing the photos, names and addresses of journalists who expose the criminal activities or racist views of BNP members and other far-right and neo-nazi thugs; Seize this opportunity to send the Nazi BNP packing online only. The leak of the membership list for the fascist British National Party (BNP) is an opportunity for trade unionists and anti-fascists to drive home a blow against Britain’s largest Nazi organisation. The BNP membership list, dating from late last year, was posted online last night. BNP leader Nick Griffin admitted today that the leak came from inside the organisation. A disgruntled former senior BNP employee was to blame, he said. The fascists are in no position to complain about their privacy being invaded. They have long used hate sites such as “Red Watch” to publish personal information about anti-Nazi activists. Now they are turning these same tactics on themselves; Irish addresses included on leaked BNP list. Three people living in Ireland are among 12,000 individuals included on a list of members of the far-right British National Party that was leaked online over the weekend. In a statement on its website, the BNP confirmed that the list was “essentially genuine” although it claimed it was a year out-of-date. According to the party, the published list is based on its 2007 membership list. The BNP said the majority of people named on the list are members but claimed a number of individuals who were not members also seemed to have been added. The party has demanded a police investigation into the leak, which is believed to have been made by former disgruntled members of the organisation; The BNP can never make itself respectable. Conditions ought to be ripe for the far Right. But the unsavoury militancy of its activists will always repel the voters. This coming period was – it hoped, and its enemies feared – to be the British National Party’s time. Unemployment is rising substantially, and so might the demand for “nationalist” solutions – in which work-grabbing foreigners over here and business-grabbing foreign goods over there, will be given the elbow through cuts in immigration and trade protectionism. It seemed like that for a while in the mid-1970s too. Unemployment was on the up and there was a sense of national decline. In the 1973 West Bromwich by-election, the National Front, the BNP of its day, in the burly shape of its national organiser, Martin Webster, won more than 16 per cent of the vote. This despite his his unfortunate promise to “build a well-oiled Nazi machine” in Britain; U.K. Police Search for Their Own on Far-Right Party List. A leaked membership list of a controversial far-right party has police forces across the U.K. scouring it for names of their own officers. Police officers are banned from joining the British National Party (BNP). There have already been consequences for people whose names appear in the list that was leaked on a Web site Sunday night, after what appears to be an internal spat within the highly controversial organization.

The British National Party is a despicable terror/political organisation that promotes an agenda of racial hatred through fear and occasionally physical intimidation. It is successful, electing dozens of councillors throughout England and polling over 5% in recent London Lord Mayoral elections. Its website is – according to Hitwise – the most visited site of any of British political party.
