BNP Members list leaked on the internet

[ace00]

I know very little about the BNP, but should papers be running these kind of headlined articles?

"Griffin's position is: first get into power and only then tell the 'truth' about the Jews More...
David Aaronovitch"

Are they anti-semitic?

[BrilloPad]

I would argue that the BNP is racist, but many of its supporters are not. They just have genuine concerns about whether the UK will turn into an Islamic state, amongst other things.

Most BNP supporters are so stupid they have no idea if they are racist or against immigration.

When the people of Dagenham wanted to oust Margaret Hodge, for some odd reason they voted BNP instead of Tory?

So in conclusion the BNP are not racist. The race crimes members have commited (including some of the leadership) are unconnected with being a member of the BNP.

Next.. how Hitler really loved the Jews

Indeed.

Hate hiding behind politics.

I think you'll find all parties guilty to some degree.

Or I should say, "some members" of any party.

I think you'll find that comparing other political parties to the BNP is a nonsense.

Examples?

There are loads for the BNP.

In your opinion, which we have already discovered is very bigoted.

Anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial

In issue 12 of the BNP publication The Rune (see 1998 public order conviction) he called the Holocaust "the Holohoax" and criticized the Holocaust denier David Irving for admitting in an interview that up to four million Jews might have died in the Holocaust. Griffin wrote: "True Revisionists will not be fooled by this new twist to the sorry tale of the Hoax of the Twentieth Century." Griffin was eventually prosecuted for his articles in The Rune (see below).

In 1997 he told an undercover journalist that he had updated Richard Verrall's Holocaust denial book Did Six Million Really Die?. He also described his former MP, Alex Carlile, QC, who had reported The Rune to the police, as "this bloody Jew... whose only claim is that his grandparents died in the Holocaust."[23]

In his defence during his 1998 prosecution, Griffin said: "I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that six million Jews were gassed and cremated and turned into lampshades. Orthodox opinion also once held that the world is flat ... I have reached the conclusion that the 'extermination' tale is a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda, extremely profitable lie, and latter witch-hysteria."

Current stance

Griffin went on record in 2005 stating "This party has finally cast off the leg iron of anti-Semitism and not a moment too soon." The BNP currently has a Jewish councillor, Patricia Richardson, and has stated that it has Jewish members.

On 6 March 2008, he was interviewed by Kirsty Wark on BBC Two's Newsnight. He blamed Muslim immigrants, particularly Pakistanis, for the country's hard drugs problems[26], and stated that he and the BNP remained opposed to interracial relationships.

The BNP says it does not deny the Holocaust and that "Dredging up quotes from 10, 15, 20 years ago is really pathetic and, in a sense, rather fascist."

What about the SWP/communists? left and right wing is probably incorrect as rather than a line its more like a circle - the extremes tend to meet.....
