The BNP will be forced to pay legal costs in a case against their ‘whites only’ membership policy after turning up to court unprepared today.

The party had waited until last night to brief their legal team on the matter, meaning the case had to be adjourned until October 15th.

The party will therefore have to pay legal costs, which will be assessed at the next session.

Judge Paul Collins said: “This is an application by the Equality and Human Rights Commission for an injunction against three officers of the BNP.

“To put it very crudely for the purposes of this morning, the commission take the view that the terms on which the BNP admit persons to membership is in breach of the Race Relations Act because it discriminates against persons on the grounds of race and they want an injunction to stop it.”

This as much as anything shows their unprofessionalism – these scruffpots are not any sort of alternative, just like a plastic doll is no acting autopilot (you know, like in Airplane).

No doubt they’ll be up in arms about it. See what the establishment does to us, they’ll say. One BNP reply on my blog entry about the fine given to ex-member Matthew Single was ‘his wife was on that list, so he was obviously paid to release the membership details, and who do you think paid him’. My goodness, thought I, these nut-nuts are truthers, conspiracy theorists, and racist plums.

‘(you know, like in Airplane).’

Nick Griffin does look awfully like Otto the Autopilot, doesn’t he?

Wow, they briefed their legal team the day before?! Really casts doubt on their claim to be a mainstream party capable of adult politics.

You know, aside from the racism and homophobia and general evil.

Haven’t they had issues over submission of their accounts before?

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People ought to protect them but I honestly bloody despair of them, I REALLY do!

May the daft racists crash and burn and yes Richard, they had problems filing their finances I believe and still not sure if they’ve done it yet.

It seems to be a tactic of theirs in all their dealings.

Love the picture on the side of the page that linked to this article.

The news that the BNP has a whites-only policy is not news to anyone, unless you were shocked by the story that bears shit in the woods. The only thing I’m surprised by is that LibCon has not taken up the Sky News story they featured on Tuesday about Nick Griffin sending out a letter telling supporters to pretend they’re not members of his party. I kid you not.

I would publish the link, but I’m crap with HTML unfortunately.

What Grim Reaper was talking about is here, it is an interesting piece.

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People ought to protect them but I honestly bloody despair of them, I REALLY do!

Don’t they keep banging on about being “Anglo-Saxon”? The Anglo-Saxons were / are not indigenous to Britain, by any stretch of the imagination.

11. Daniel Hoffmann-Gill

binky has denied he is a BNP racist but with quotes like that Dunc, it’s hard to swallow.

Oh, I’m prepared to believe that he’s not a BNP racist… The BNP’s new, cuddly image has doubtless disappointed many.

“Don’t they keep banging on about being “Anglo-Saxon”? The Anglo-Saxons were / are not indigenous to Britain, by any stretch of the imagination.”

Membership Policy – from the BBC; I’m buggered if I’m giving the swivel-eyed wing nuts my IP address.

“The indigenous British ethnic groups deriving from the class of ‘Indigenous Caucasian’ consists of members of: i) the Anglo-Saxon folk community; ii) the Celtic Scottish folk community; iii) the Scots-Northern Irish folk community; iv) the Celtic Welsh folk community; v) the Celtic Irish folk community; vi) the Celtic Cornish folk community; vii) the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic folk community; viii) the Celtic-Norse folk community; ix) the Anglo-Saxon-Norse folk community; x) the Anglo-Saxon Indigenous European folk community; xi) members of these ethnic groups which reside either within or outside Europe but ethnically derive from them.”

Um, I think I might have a bit of Norman Blood in me; does that count?

I.m still asking, although without a doubt I will not get one but here goes:-
Just why is it OK to accept Sinn Fein MEPs and MPs, who have murdered people and tried to kill a PM, plus siding with the Nazis during the war and not the BNP MEPs who to my knowledge have harmed no one and only passed an opinion. Alright an opinion that many do not like but only an opinion after all.
Also you seem to say it’s OK to demonize as racists and Nazis around a million people. What has happened to democracy and free speech.
I know full well that you will not print this it’s too near the truth for you.
Still you now know where a million people and counting stand.

Rayatcov. I think the answer to your first question might be the IRA.

16. Daniel Hoffmann-Gill

What a maggot that Rayatcov is.

17. Daniel Hoffmann-Gill

No, you racist twat.

Thank you for such a great picture linking to this story.

Grim Reaper – damn, I didn’t see that excellent story or else I would have linked it. Funny as hell.

15. It’s ideology v methods. Sinn Fein as a rule don’t call for the forced repatriation of non-Catholics; they just want to determine rule for their own country. Kind of like the SNP. Now, I’m not naive enough to believe that there’s no connection between the policital and the military wing, but at least it’s done with semi-plausible deniability, rather than embracing sectarian xenophopia.

If you want a comparison with ideology, the BNP are probably closer to Hamas, if you read their charter about chasing Jews behind trees or something.

You know who were Nazis? 37% of Germany in 1932. Does that mean that every man jack of them actively wanted to label and gas Jews? To invade and ghettoise Poland? To kill gypsies and cripples? No, but in an elected democracy they gave their consent to their leaders to do such things. You put your vote to these manipulative thugs full of hatred, bitterness and self-obsession, and all that they do falls on your shoulders.

21. Daniel Hoffmann-Gill

@20, no it’s not you racist.

Terrible aren’t they the BNP wanting the Uk to have a majority of white british people living here and dont want their country to resemble pakistan,china or africa. When an immigrant gets a house it’s one less house for a Brit.Simple as. What about hospital care,jobs,schools.
There are enough British pensioners living in crap conditions who have worked their entire lives and live in multicultural shitholes where it’s not safe to go out if your white. Dont say this isn’t so, there are more and more places where it seems to be a crime to be white, British and Christian.
Of course the BNP started that illegal war didn’t they, bankrupted the country while making sure their wages and pensions were ok. Sorry that was Liebor, tories did the exact same when they were in.
When will you lefties wake up, do you think that it will be when your wife is forced to wear a black bag over herself or you go a weddings where 9 year old girls are married off to the highest bidder then will the left be happy with their multi bullshit.

Hang on, I thought the BNP were supposed to be the far left in traditional wingnut parlance – I get so confused.

I love the way that wingnuts talk about ‘Islamification’ as if it’s something that happens overnight, often to existing individuals. It’s not like when the Romans took over, slaughtering and converting by the sword; it’s just a simple matter of having more babies.

“when an immigrant gets a house its one less for a Brit.”

Are we conflating refugees with immigrants again? Personally, I don’t give a rat’s vagina whether you’re living with your mum paying rent in sexual favours or living in a cardboard box sucking off Turkish businessmen. I hate you and everything you stand for and wish you’d die in a fire to make room for nice foreigners – regardless of what it says in your passport or on your dole book.

The BBC’s invite to the BNP on Newsnight has come about as a result purely as a result of the BNP agreeing to open up its membership to British citizens of ALL ethnicities, replacing its former “All-White” membership policy. Nick will have no trouble in winning over the people of Britain to our cause when they see him on a level playing field so long denied to us. NOW let them try to beat the party with the “Racist Stick” when Rajinder Singh stands for the BNP in a future election:

The programme will be a first for the BNP, and, even if he is faced with a carefully selected hostile audience, Nick will wow the TV audience at home, I guarantee you!

25. Daniel Hoffmann-Gill

Fuck me, what is it with BNP theads, without fail they get snowed under with racists.

I mean, Caroline’s deluded views that Nick Griffin will somehow win over the UK public is one thing but then linking to a Sikh racist as if to prove the BNP isn’t racist…

Good grief…
