BNP membership list has been put online.

[audiotech]

They have just discussed the Far Right on the One Show, which is an incredibly popular programme, interview with a 90 year old, Reene Housman? about Cable St and her part in it, the NF in the 70's, a bit with Mathew Collins and abrief segment with Griffin. The general theme seemed to be Britain doesn't 'do fascism' (bit like MC5)

Britain did 'do fascism' though, with an effective opposition. The most militant sections of it coming from the working class. Unlike today, it didn't involve an internet connection and some smart-arse comments.

A post on the Amber Valley BNP blog a few minuites ago gives a broad indication that Matt Single and Sadie Graham have been nicked for the leak......

 

[butchersapron]

Not the people Leed barnes publcially pointed the finger at then (if true).

Two arrested in Notts over BNP membership leak

Police have arrested two people in Notts over the unauthorised release of the British National Party membership list.

The Post understands officers raided a house in the county last night.

 

[JimPage]

Not the people Leed barnes publcially pointed the finger at then (if true).

Yup. An already deleted post on the Amber Valley site has named them (Googleblogsearch the terms "Sadie Graham Amber Valley BNP") ,Simon Darby blog reports the local media reports of 2 arrests only, BNP main site silent, rebel blog sites silent

 

[butchersapron]

I suspect SG's outing approacheth and someone is going to jail.(Again, if true)

Outing as what?

 

[Y_I_Otter]

The Nottingham Evening Post confirms that one of those arrested is your "SG".

First big test post-publication of membership list - wow, looks like they're damaged below the water-line:


Durham Town Council
Mark Walker (BNP)239
Theda Mary Bannister (Lab) 240
Henry Nichloson (Lab) polled 253.

Two seats up for grabs so only 2 votes short of their second seat in a few weeks.

And this with Walker, the teacher sacked for looking at racist stuff on line in class time and various other allegations hanging over his head being the candidate. Yep, shaming and naming really does work.

'BNP membership' officer sacked

Pc Steve Bettley's name was on a document listing details of 12,000 BNP people which was published online.

Merseyside Police conducted an investigation into the allegation and concluding he had knowingly been a member of the BNP

What's with the scare quotes, BBC? They said he was knowingly a member.

And they've introduced the classic defence for the others on the list: "I'm too stupid to have known I was a member".

He said he was enrolled in the party by a family member without his knowledge and he planned to appeal against the dismissal.

"We are disappointed with the finding and sanction of the Misconduct Panel and do not believe that there is any evidence presented to the panel which would indicate that he was knowingly a member of the BNP.

.... and seemingly not alerted to his membership of the BNP when his membership card plopped through the letterbox.

If one popped through his door.

 

[laptop]

Blimey. The bit about "knowingly" was the end of the story when I read it.

That could get the Beeb in deep doo-doo if it's archived anywhere...

 

[DotCommunist]

It'd be nice if just for once a BNP members photograph wasn't that of a well fed grinning white man.

 

[the button]

If one popped through his door.

You could be onto something there. According to the list, the membership was taken out by one Mrs Yvette Bettley, with 15-year old Lyndsey listed as an "activist", and Stephen & Richard Bettley listed as "family." With a touching note added: "Discretion required re: employment concerns. Police officer."

 

[Fedayn]

It'd be nice if just for once a BNP members photograph wasn't of fed grinning.

Matt Single fined £200 for releasing BNP membership list - given this should have been contempt proceedings and a jail term people are going to be asking 'what's going on?' Especially when you hear the charges against Saide G were dropped.

Answers on a postcard to Single and Grahams state handlers......

 

[audiotech]

It's must be a conspiracy.

 

[JHE]

I wonder whether the people who were delighted at the publication of the list will chip in to help pay Single's fine and costs.

 

[butchersapron]

It's must be a conspiracy.

That's it, that's you full comment is it?

funnily enough i saw her ex at the scooter rally on Fri! It wasn't charges HE was dropping ho ho

 

[JHE]

I've just heard Single interviewed on the radio. He seems very contrite.

 

[audiotech]

That's it, that's you full comment is it?

It's all been said, many times, over a very long tedious period.

 

[trevhagl]

one thing i'm a bit puzzled about is if she was/is an agent you would think they would give her a new name. Thats the same name she used when a skinheed!
Pretty slack work.

 

[butchersapron]

The end result hasn't. I'll not attack any resolve you've made to keep your fucking mouth shut though.

 

[audiotech]

The end result is a minor disruption and some poor sods having to re-build their lives, as flirting with fascism fucks them up.

 

[butchersapron]

Empty, never say anything.

 

[audiotech]

Not here anyway.
