"Send me Home!?" : BNP to change rules & admit "non-white" folks.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The UK Equality and Human Rights Commission launched county court proceedings against the BNP party leader, Nick Griffin, and two other party officials, Simon Darby and Tanya Jane Lumby soon after the European elections. The EHRC case was quite clear : the BNP party constitution restricts membership of the organisation on grounds of ethnicity & race & the EHRC was created to uphold the UK Race Relations Act. So, in a move which oughtn't surprise anyone who has seen now the BNP are playing the field with their new drive for a slice of the political pie, Nick Griffin has today announced that he will table a new constitution to the BNP conference next month. If they British neoNAZI party accept this cynical pisstake, people who previously didn't feel the party open to "those of exclusively Caucasian white ancestry" had any appeal for them will of course, no doubt jump on the bandwagon of Britian's fastest growing political organisation & happily put up posters demanding they "go home" and cavort with their new skinhead pals in the EDL........... or is that how it will pan out? |

Jump To Comment: 1Rajinder Singh was born in Lahore in what was then the British Raj and would later become Pakistan. He arrived as a migrant to the UK in 1967. He settled in the north of England where he worked until retirement as a school teacher in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. He's long been a supporter of the BNP whose anti-Islamic stance he approves of (his father was killed by muslims during the partition of India by the British).

For some reason Irish media reports that the BNP has denied signing up Mr Singh.

An article from a month ago on this theme in which I argued for the revampment of the race relations act in the UK and pondered the parallels for censorship and BBC publicity or anti-publicity, might prove appropriate to link from here.

Is this the first non-white BNP member?
