Griffin and BNP strategy

It's funny, but Nl apparatchiks, who have spent years attacking the poor, , launching and supporting illegal wars, privatising, attacking asylum seekers and migrants who for many years they encouraged, etc are clinging onto the only bit of radicalism they have left: their 'anti-fascism'/anti-racism: I remember going in MP Richard Caborn's Office, there were no pictures of his Communist father, none of his days working in the Steel Industry, the Miners Strike, etc, but a massive one of him meeting Nelson Mandela.

Excellent post.:(
 
Very late 2008 accounts finally published. Quick skim shows that membership figures not included this time, but that income from membership subs is down by crica 50% (subs may have been reduced or re-organised for tax purposes, don't know, i think the 'membership branch dividend' might possibly be something to do with this). Donations and fund raising rose quite significantly. Significant reduction in commerial and campaign expenditure.

those accounts aren't the accounts for the BNP as a whole, their just some regional units/branches or something like that, the actual proper overall organisation accounts for 2008 are still overdue - if you look at 2007 accounts their overall income is about 750k, whereas in those 2008 accounts where it shows the prior year for comparison the overall income there for 2007 is about 250k,which i presume means 500k is generated from (or at least booked to) the central/head office BNP unit

No, they are, they go through the regional accounting unit, which is itself a dodge.
 
nah i'm not sure that's the case

if you look at the accounts lodged with the EC for 2007 there are two sets, one being the regional accounting unit one (which is the equivalent of these 2008 ones) - and then one set for the party overall as a whole - for 2007 they had total income of about £600k (I said 750k above in error as was quoting from memory) and back in april this year griffin said

The BNP’s central accounting unit’s draft accounts for 2008 show a leap in our national operational income to well over £1 million last year. This year we are on course to do even better.

http://bn*p.org.uk/2009/04/bnp-expansion-programme-—-now-it’s-the-turn-of-treasury/

so all that doesn't stack up against a total income shown in these accounts of only £211k

also in those accounts membership subs for the whole year are stated as just under two thousand pounds! there's no way that represents the whole organisation - I presume all subs are paid to, and booked in, the central unit - this would also explain the very small amounts showing for the RWB stuff as well
 
Yes, my mistake, you're right - which would explain a lot of the (apparent and baffling) changes i noted in my post, as well as the reorganisation of their finance team into a 'treasury' dept earlier this year amidst claims they'd reached operational income of over a million quid by Griffin at the time.
 
On matters BNP- watch out for their rersult in Glasgow NE this thursday.

A few papers are talking up their chanches of coming third- which they wont-but I would have money on them beating either Toriies or Liberals here- and possibly saving their deposit

Griffin in news again today for visiting Wooton Bassett to see the servicemens coffins come home

Yes, papers talking this up again. The Indie on Sunday should know better. They ran an item on the bye-election focussing almost exclusively on the fact that one small-ish party might break 5%. WTF is that about?

The surprise there is that anyone voted Labour. It's a very affluent area and has been Tory since the dawn of time. It's in Norman Fowlers old constituency. I suspect the only reason the BNP stood there is that for a few years now they've made a big thing of contesting all 40 Birmingham wards.

BNP help form the European Alliance of National Movements in the European parliament, Didn't manage to get the 25 members needed to be recognised as a bloc and recieve bloc funding, but do qualify for £10 million as a pan-european grouping.

As expected with membership, with the FPOfrom Austria to be joining soon adding to the number of MEP`s- and an unspecified Ukranian Nationalist group joining as well.
