The BNP — a fascist threat to us all

The BNP attempts to pose as a "respectable" political party. Its leaders wear suits and ties but beneath this surface of respectability lies a Nazi group.

Several documentaries have exposed the BNP as a Hitler-admiring, white supremacist organisation. The recent Channel Five documentary Neo-Nazi Hate Rock showed the BNP receives money from the sales of neo-Nazi hate music and fundraising events.

Some facts about the BNP:

• BNP leader Nick Griffin described the Holocaust as a mixture of 'propaganda, profitable lies and hysteria.' BNP publications have called the holocaust a 'hoax'.

• Former youth leader Mark Collett was exposed on TV praising Hitler, and 1930s Nazi Germany over modern multi-cultural Burnley or Oldham.

• BNP organiser Tony Lecomber called people with learning difficulties "sub-human" and disabled people "genetically inferior" and advoctated a eugenics programme.

• BNP youth leader, Tony Wentworth pleaded guilty to causing fear and provocation to violence when he contested an election in Salford University Students' Union in 2003. His 'bodyguard', Joseph Owens, pleaded guilty to common assault.

• Many leading figures in the BNP have convictions for violent crime and whenever it is active racist attacks increase.

• London nail bomber David Copeland was a former member of the BNP and said 'my aim was to cause a racial war... then all of the white people would go and vote BNP.'
