If the BNP gets about 5,000 votes, they could get an MSP at Holyrood
























Dear All

The more things change the more they will stay the same is an old adage.

The British National Party will be changing its constitution to allow non-white members to join.

Why?

Because the Human Rights Commission has ruled that if the BNP does not allow people from ethnic minorities to join, it would become an illegal party.

No, because it can then claim to be a mainstream party and that can attract more members.

The Human Rights Commission is helping the BNP gain respectability.

BNP outmanoeuvre the ‘educated’ again.

One thing that Human Rights Commission can’t do however is force members on the BNP or run the party.

Party leader Nick Griffin will tell members at their annual conference near Wigan they do not have a choice.

I suspect he and his goons will be laughing their heads off in private while trying to look statesmanlike in public.

By changing their membership rules, critics like Labour’s Peter Hain will no longer be able to say the BNP is an all-white party, or that it discriminated on the grounds of race or religion.

This help will further fuel an increase in BNP membership as Trevor Phillips’s Human Rights Commission fails to look at the big picture.

Their solution to a problem was to create an even bigger problem.

Another unexpected bonus for Griffin and his goons is that anti-fascist campaigners status will be changed because of the ruling, anti harassment laws may well be brought into play to arrest them given the BNP a clear uninterrupted ability when they campaign on the streets.

The BNP's membership has increased this year and two candidates were elected to the European Parliament.

In the City of Glasgow, if the BNP managed to acquire about 5,000 votes at the Holyrood election, they could see their first BNP MSP at Holyrood.

So, after years of stupid ineffective middle class student politics by their opponents, the BNP has been helped to establish a base of support.

Question time was a turning point in British politics, not by Griffin’s appearance but by the way he was treated.

The BNP will continue to rise in the UK until mainstream political parties take them head on and defeat them policy by policy and line by line.

And that also means helping the most disadvantaged in society to elevate them upwards.

Yours sincerely
