BNP Members list leaked on the internet

[AtW]

For leaking the list of racists? You gota be kidding!
Next youll be asking for the same for leaking a list of Paedos in your area!

You need to be careful with words. For example leaking list of paediatricians will be every bit as wrong as what happened here.

Also if I were you I'd be careful not to call people you don't know racists - just because their name is on a private list from unclear source does not make them racists - at best chances are they are actually member of BNP, this does not automatically make them racist - it is a legal party and they have every right to be the member with privacy expectations that any other legal member of political party gets.

Would you want next to have list of voters who are not members of BNP but cast their votes for them published too? Those people must be "racists" as well eh?

Being a police officer is a profession that has certain requirements attached. If you affiliate yourself with a group that has beliefs or aims against the stated aims of your profession then you have to choose a new profession affiliation

Ha Ha Ha - so what about the masons ?

More BNP Bombers....

Former BNP candidate, Robert Cottage, and 62 year old dentist David Jackson have been charged with possessing explosives.

Robert Cottage, a BNP candidate in Colne last year, and David Jackson, a dentist from Nelson, Lancashire have been charged with possessing explosives at Preston Crown Court today.

Here's an interesting diversion for you:

How many murders, rapes, you name it were committed by BNP members last year? Now how many by non-members? Please feel free to use ratios. Thank you.

A few loons, who (if the BNP is to be believed) are simply an embarrassment and gladly expelled, do not equal party policy or action under party "orders".

I agree the individual should be prosecuted, you may also find that the BNP have some responsibilities under the DPA to better protect their data.

Yes I agree, they sure screwed up however here it seems inside job happened and very few protections would guard against it, though really in any serious organisation getting complete list of customers/members should not happen without explicit authorisation - access to such data should be very very limited.

Yes it is. If the party's legal (and it is) then membership should be too.

Nobody’s banning membership, and I’m not saying it should be banned. However, an employer should also be free to sack people who are likely to damage the effectiveness of the organisation or present a risk to their colleagues. Would you really ask a black soldier to stand up to the enemy when you know that the guy next to him thinks he’s a subhuman n*gg*r who should be deported on the next boat? How about asking an Irishman in the police to raid a heavily armed drugs gang along with some BNP bigot who sings ‘no surrender’ at soccer matches and considers his colleague a worthless bogtrotter? (excuse the terms, but it’s to make a point) What about facing a teacher who bullies kids with funny names because they’re not ‘British’ enough? I found myself on the end of this treatment from a teacher when I was a kid, simply for being born outside the UK to British parents; quite how much worse it could have been if I hadn’t had white skin, an English name and an English accent, I don’t want to imagine.

I’d be happy to see every single one of these scumbags lose their jobs so that mature, decent people who treat their fellow humans with respect can get the chance instead.

Classic. Doh ! I should have read the thread. That will teach me.

Their policy is whites only? Is it? I don't know - someone say if I'm wrong?

If yes, I'd say there is a case for racism there.

So now you accuse BNP of being terrorist party? I'd say given situation in NI BNP is nowhere near closest examples in fact they don't seem to be trying, and some nutter would always be a member of extreme party (left or right).

I remember I think last year some crazy animal rights activist was sending mail bombs, not sure what his party allegiance is, most likely not BNP could easily be Labour, so what? Means jack all.

Yes! because everyone who isn't a member will treat their fellow humans with respect! e.g. Baby P's parents!
