    (PS. I am not on the list.)
    LOL - I love the "free views" shut people pull when it comes to issues like these. Amazing.

      Yep, you don't have to be a member to vote for them, but it helps if you're a tool.
      Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it
      Feist - I Feel It All
      Feist - The Bad In Each Other (Later With Jools Holland)

        Not trying to defend the BNP. Just think this is another story the meedja have overcooked. Police Officers/Teachers etc. should be entitled to whatever views they like at the ballot box as long as those views do not prejudice their day job.

            The membership status of some on the list is ambiguous at best, as I have previously mentioned. However, many of those who have, in the linked article, been described as "computer experts" are clearly just people with some vague knowledge of knocking up a web site in Front Page, and can thus safely be described as over-estimating their own level of knowledge.

            Any analysis that claims to establish facts about these people is based on the field for supplementary notes about a person, and this itself is apparently a brief summary of things said in one or more phone conversations or letters, as interpreted by the person responsible for maintaining this dataset (whose details are also on the list). It may be possible to draw some conclusions therefrom, but additional evidence would be needed to substantiate them. Therefore, I call bulltulip on the CUK article linked in the original post in this thread.

            Unless you want a kite - that's one that surely can't have been made up

            Oh, BTW, there are supposedly poisoned versions of this list floating about on BitTorrent. There are also people on the original list who have denied being members when contacted by the Press, yet who before that have posted on the usual extreme right wing forums, expressing their alarm over having their beliefs made known.

            As I mentioned before (first link above), I feel nothing but contempt for these people, but I'm not going to say how to get hold of the list nor how to establish the veracity of a copy you might have. These misguided fools have a sufficient quantity of problems at the moment. If you have a copy, I urge you not to circulate it, as it identifies a number of children - some as young as fourteen, IIRC. (Anonymised analyses of the data sound cool though.)

              Someone has set up a website with a URL similar to that list which it contains. Others have created a "heat map" (member density by geography represented by a colour density). It's all a bit boring now though. I took one quick look at the list and then discarded it.

                National Front Page, surely?

                  This BNP list is a sort of inverse Schindlers list (a list of names to be saved from the Nazis)
                  The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                  But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
