The BNP like to tell people that they are a mainstream political party following the election in June of their leader Nick Griffin to the European Parliament.

Griffin has just recently unveiled his new office in Cumbria which is to be used as a base for the North West region that as an MEP he represents. However take a careful look at the North West region and you will find the same old violent racists within the rank and file of the BNP.

The BNP are contesting a by election to be held on October 8th in the Penrith West ward of Eden District Council. This follows the resignation last month of former council leader Colin Nineham.

Of key importance to this campaign is the local Penrith organiser Kevin Clark who was recently described by Nick Griffins new European communications officer Martin Wingfield as “ A great BNP stalwart ”

Far right stalwart he maybe but Clark is also a convicted self confessed racist.

In 1996 Clark was found guilty of malicious wounding and jailed for 18 months. Clark was convicted following an unprovoked attack on a Gambian Rugby player Osman Cham during a rugby tournament being held in Penrith.

Clark shouted “Sambo”, as well as making monkey noises. When Mr Cham went over to remonstrate, Clark struck him over the head with a bottle.

The wound needed five stitches and Mr Cham fainted from loss of blood.

Clark showed no remorse and admitted that he was a racist bigot. “I don’t like coloured people”, he told police.

His spell of porridge seems to have made little difference however as Clark still appears to be the virulent racist. On his Facebook page Clark likes to mock the Holocaust by making sick jokes about notorious Nazi extermination camp Auschwitz.

Over one million people perished within the death camp yet Clark feels it is a subject to mock.

Clarke posted “Will people stop sending me Auschwitz jokes, my poor grandfather died a horrible death at Auschwitz…He fell out the machine gun tower.

Another of Clarks racist postings says” When is the only time you should wink at a Muslim? When your (sic) taking aim at the cunt.

Clark also finds time after a hard days campaigning to take part in Facebook groups such as “FTP- Fuck The Pope” and “We are proud to call ourselves Aryan”

No doubt the BNP will try their tried and trusted trick of declaring that Clark is not a member of the party and they are unable to find his details on their databases.

Well the bad news for the BNP is that Kevin Clark has posted a picture of his current membership card on his Facebook profile and it is still very much valid.

Once again we await the immediate expulsion of Kevin Clark from the BNP.

Hope not Hate

Anti-fascist campaigners are promising a storm of protest in response to the news that Nazi leader Nick Griffin is to appear on the BBC’s flagship Question Time programme in London on Thursday 22 October.

Broadcasting union Bectu is the latest organisation to throw its weight behind the protests. Bectu’s general secretary Gerry Morrissey says that the union will support any of its members at the BBC who refuse to work on the programme.

He said, “I have raised this issue with the BBC’s director general Mark Thompson. He said the BNP has been invited on to the programme because they have won elections, but we strongly disagree.”

He added that the union “will be working with anti-fascist groups to ensure there is a significant turn-out” for demonstrations outside the studios.

The BBC claims it has to invite Griffin, the leader of the fascist British National Party (BNP), on to Question Time under its “impartiality” rules.

And some people seem to have been fooled that Griffin’s appearance is justified in the interest of “free speech”.

But the BNP is not just another political party – it is a fascist organisation that whips up racial hatred and violence. It certainly has no respect for freedom of speech towards people who are black, Asian, Jewish, gay or disabled.

Respectibility

Giving a platform to Griffin – a fascist who wants an “all-white” Britain and has a conviction for denying the Holocaust – just gives the Nazis the gloss of respectability they crave.

Justice secretary Jack Straw has angered many anti-fascists by agreeing to appear on the programme alongside Griffin. This has created a row in the Labour Party – which had previously refused to appear alongside the Nazi BNP.

Several senior figures, including Alan Johnson, have already refused to appear with the fascist organisation. Former cabinet member and Labour MP Peter Hain has asked the BBC to meet him to explain their decision.

He said, “I have told the BBC that I will never share a platform with the BNP. More than that, I will refuse to appear on Question Time until its producers meet with me to justify their reasons.

“Giving the BNP this kind of free publicity elevates them to a level of respectability that they do not deserve. We must not rest until the BNP are defeated in this free and tolerant country.”

Unite Against Fascism (UAF) is calling a demonstration outside Question Time in London to protest at the BBC’s decision.

UAF groups will also hold protests outside BBC studios across Britain.

Weyman Bennett, joint secretary of UAF, called on anti-fascists to to keep up the pressure on the BBC.

He said, “The BNP is a Nazi party whose political agenda is to destroy democracy and wipe out ethnic minorities in Britain. By granting Griffin a prime time platform the BBC is, in practice, helping to legitimise the BNP and its race hatred.”

British broadcasting union BECTU has issued a press release criticising the BBC and the justice minister, Jack Straw, for their willingness to endorse the participation of the far-right British National Party (BNP) in a forthcoming edition of the TV discussion programme Question Time.

The BBC says it is obliged, under its charter, to give airtime to the BNP because it is a legal political party which has a number of MEP’s, though it does not currently have any MPs at Westminster. But BECTU, today insisted that the BNP should not be given airtime to promote its racist politics.

The union’s statement comes in reply to the BBC’s decision to accept a proposal from the producers of Question Time that BNP leader Nick Griffin should join the panel for the programme on Thursday 22 October. BECTU has also criticised the justice minister, Jack Straw, for his decision to take part in the broadcast planned for 22 October.

“The Labour Party has always said that it would not share a platform with racists; this is not a matter upon which ministers should be permitted a ‘free vote’. Jack Straw’s decision is doing damage to his credibility as a senior government figure and to the Labour Party. We call upon him to reverse his decision to take part,” said BECTU General Secretary Gerry Morrissey.

BECTU represents production staff across all roles in broadcasting and has on previous occasions pledged to support any member who chooses, as a matter of conscience, not to work on output which either involves or promotes the BNP. In the past broadcasters have respected that individuals can exercise this choice.

BECTU has today reiterated that same commitment to support all members who choose not to work on this particular edition of Question Time if it goes ahead with a BNP representative on the panel. The union will also be lending its support to anti-fascist organisations who will be campaigning against Question Time’s plans to give the BNP airtime.

Nick Griffin is engaging in contortions and sleight of hand to keep his members happy and ensure they keep on giving him their money. Sonia Gable investigates

The British National Party “has almost righted itself financially after the massive outlay incurred in winning seats in the Euro elections,” according to Eddy Butler, the party’s national organiser.

The announcement on 9 September followed three months of desperate begging letters and emails from Nick Griffin, the British National Party leader, claiming his party was “cash strapped” after the European election campaign.

However it was not donations that had brought about the claimed change in the party’s fortunes but “a few short hard months of financial stringency”, said Butler. And “Chairman Nick Griffin has given up his party salary as he is now paid as an MEP”.

It is unclear why Butler is making announcements about the BNP’s finances as he is not the party’s treasurer. Perhaps that explains why he goes on to contradict himself. “It should be clear from what I have said that the party is urgently in need of extra funding in the aftermath of the European election,” his statement continued. Referring to the legal action by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) over the BNP’s “whites only” membership criterion, he added: “In these difficult times the party needs the understanding and loyal support of its army of members and donors”.

The EHRC court case means Griffin has to tread very carefully. He does not want to fight the case because he is not confident the party can win and losing in court is very expensive. “For us to take this case to the next hearing would mean raising and risking at least £80,000,” Griffin wrote in an appeal headed “Emergency update. Adapt or die!” And “to take it all the way to the House of Lords would swallow up well over a million pounds”.

But Griffin is clearly having trouble taking his members with him. That the BNP should not admit non-whites is at the core of their ideology. In their minds to let black people and Asians join would be a betrayal of everything their party stands for.

Cleverly Griffin throws the decision back to his members, while ensuring he will have the outcome he needs. By letting the case go to a first hearing in court, at which the party obtained an adjournment but was ordered to pay the EHRC’s costs, which Griffin puts at “thousands of pounds”, he can argue that the party does not have a choice but to change its membership policy.

Griffin also contends that the hearing shows that “traditional British justice … is dead [his emphasis], murdered as part of New Labour’s creeping coup d’état”. In other words the BNP doesn’t have a chance against the EHRC (which Griffin persistently calls the CEHR) with its “70 top lawyers and £70 million to burn”, because the system is unfair and everyone is ganged up against the BNP.

Having fed to bursting his members’ vision of themselves as martyrs, Griffin concedes that “we could still fight it all the way on a point of stubborn principle”. But it is up to the members to decide. “If the party collectively wants to fight, then we have to raise £80,000 extra in the next four weeks.”

But in a sleight of hand, that money would not even go towards fighting the court case but to “buy in more top lawyers’ time to triple check and hone to perfection the changes we would have to make to our constitution and organisation”.

So if the party doesn’t raise the money Griffin won’t fight the case and if it does raise the money, he won’t fight it either.

A cynic might even suggest that Griffin deliberately delayed instructing lawyers to represent the party until the day before the court hearing, not only as a means of buying time by making it impossible for the court to refuse an adjournment, but also to ensure an award of costs against the BNP so proving to his members how expensive fighting the case would be.

Griffin’s chosen means of raising the money – the life membership offer – will guarantee failure in any case. Members are being asked to stump up a full £395 to become a BNP member for life. This is supposedly a discount from the full £500 that life membership will cost in future.

Few BNP members have £395 to spare, especially after the BNP’s numerous calls on their generosity over the past two years. And with the high membership turnover in the party, even those who could afford it are unlikely be sufficiently committed. Of the BNP’s claimed 10,000 or so members, only around 250 are dedicated activists and many of those are unemployed or in low-paid jobs. The BNP’s membership is greatly slanted towards socio-economic groups C, D and E.

It would take 200 life memberships to raise the necessary funds, provided all the money goes towards hiring the top lawyers. That may not happen. Simon Darby, the BNP treasurer and press officer, told a journalist last month that one of the aims of the life membership drive was to raise funds for the 2010 election campaign. He also stated that the party was short of funds – one day after Butler’s more optimistic assessment.

Darby also revealed that the continued absence of the BNP’s 2008 accounts was the result of extenuating circumstances and blamed an unnamed third party. In last month’s Searchlight we recalled that when the 2006 accounts were greatly delayed, Griffin blamed Kenny Smith, one of the leaders of the internal rebellion that broke out in December 2007. We believed that this year he had no such excuse.

We underestimated Griffin’s ability to wriggle out of any difficulty by finding a scapegoat. We do not yet know who will have to carry the can for the 2008 accounts but two candidates spring to mind.

One is Michaela Mackenzie, who earlier this year was quietly dropped as the BNP’s administration officer and national nominating officer, in charge of ensuring all election paperwork is in order. In January the BNP Advisory Council tasked her with investigating the implications of data protection legislation for the BNP. Perhaps she did not like what she found.

The other is Jennie Noble, appointed the BNP’s treasurer in summer 2008, only to be replaced a year later. When Griffin announced the formation of a “full Treasury Department” headed by a “chartered accountant” last April, he thanked Noble for using her “extensive financial experience in pension fund management” to get the BNP accounts into shape and said the party owed her “a big debt of gratitude”.

It would not be the first time Griffin has lavished praise on someone before putting the boot in.

Noble would “switch duties to take on running the Trafalgar Club”, said Griffin. The club, whose members have to pay at least £15 a month, would be “undergoing a major revamp and expansion later this year in order to raise its profile as the flagship of the Party”.

That was in April. In August Trafalgar Club members received their first newsletter for some time, apologising for the “poor service over the last year” and claiming that the ten-year-old club was “working hard to sort out the administrative weaknesses … since Jean stepped down as Secretary”.

“Jean” is Jean Griffin, the BNP leader’s mother. The newsletter was signed by his wife, Jackie, “Acting Trafalgar Club Secretary”. Noble appeared to have disappeared without trace.

The administrative weaknesses encompassed postal subscription records, outstanding gifts, standing orders and cheques – just about everything really. The club’s spring lunch had not taken place this year because Adam Champneys, one of the BNP’s few large donors, who hosted the event in 2008 on his Kent farm, had been ill. However Jackie Griffin did have “a lovely hotel booked in Herefordshire” for the club’s main annual event, the Trafalgar Day black tie dinner on 24 October. They were also still working on plans to “re-launch the Club later this year, including an advertising campaign to raise its profile and prestige”.

The club’s sole purpose is to raise money for the BNP. Whatever Butler says, the BNP desperately needs money after spending up to £600,000 on the European election campaign and with a general election at most nine months away. Butler’s claim that the BNP has nearly pulled itself out of the financial trough may be motivated more by a need to stem the disillusionment among party members. They dug deep into their pockets for the European campaign in the hope that the election of MEPs would secure millions of euros, only to be told that none of the European Parliament funding can be used for the party so they would have to carry on giving. And now the party wants £395 for life membership. Members could be forgiven for saying “you’ve got to be joking”.

Richard Barnbrook, the controversial British National Party politician, has been suspended from Barking & Dagenham LBC after being found guilty of bringing both the borough and the London Assembly into disrepute.

At the first ever joint standards committee hearing between the London Assembly – to which he was also elected last summer – and a London borough, Cllr Barnbrook was found to have knowingly made false claims about murders in Barking.

As well as the month-long ban from the council, Barking and Dagenham’s standards sub-committee ordered Cllr Barnbrook to publish a written apology on his blog and will not reinstate him until he has done so.

The assembly’s sub-committee censured him, ordered him to publish a written apology of its specification, and instructed him to attend a training course in ethics.

After a four-hour long hearing at the Greater London Authority on Thursday, during which anti-fascist demonstrators protested loudly in the café area, the joint committee endorsed a report from investigators that Cllr Barnbrook had broken the councillors Code of Conduct and brought his office and both authorities into disrepute.

Late last September, a video of Cllr Barnbrook being interviewed by the BNP’s deputy leader Simon Darby outside Southwark Cathedral was posted on Cllr Barnbrook’s blog on the Daily Telegraph’s website.

In the video, Cllr Barnbrook claimed that three people had been murdered in Barking and Dagenham during the month. In fact, two of the incidents referred to did not lead to fatalities and the woman who did die was killed in neighbouring Newham LBC. He later admitted to being aware his comments were incorrect at the time they were made but refused to remove the blog or apologise for the errors.

Valerie Rush (Lab), the then member for community safety in Barking, lodged a complaint claiming the statements would undermine the public’s confidence in local government and the police.

Cllr Barnbrook said he had misspoken in saying the woman had been stabbed in Barking and Dagenham when she was in fact from Barking and Dagenham. With regards to the other incident he said he had meant to say “attempted murder” rather than “murder”.

He claimed the mistakes were a result of his being dyslexic and that he had become confused as a result of the ambient noise from the cathedral and passing traffic.

“It was an unintentional mistake that occured due to my disability,” he said.

Local Government Chronicle

A British National Party regional officer spoke at a nazi festival in east Germany last month alongside violent fascists and extremists from several European countries.

Mike Bell, secretary of the party’s West Midlands region, attended the Fest der Völker (Festival of Nations) in Pössneck, Thüringen, with three other BNP activists. They included Dave and Nina Brown from Nottinghamshire, who were taking time out from campaigning for a Broxtowe District Council by-election on 24 September, where Mr Brown was the BNP candidate.

Their presence at the event on 12 September proves once again that the BNP’s rejection of nazism is only skin deep. Leading racist extremists from across Europe spoke alongside Bell and Mrs Brown at the far-right rock festival. They included Dan Eriksson and Varenus Luckmann from Sweden, Andreas Mayerhofer from Austria, Matthias Fischer from Germany, Bojan Rasate from Bulgaria, Pascal Trost from Switzerland, Milán Széth from Hungary and Patrik Vondral from the Czech Republic.

Fest Der Volker T Shirt

Behind them on the platform was a banner depicting two steel-helmeted soldiers of the German army and bearing the clapped-out fascist slogan “Europe Awake!”. In front of them was a mob of around 500 nazi boneheads, misfits and sociopaths.

Four BNP activists are known to have attended, two of whom were featured speakers.

Nina Brown

Nina Brown

Nina Brown is the organiser of Broxtowe BNP and a Brinsley parish councillor. Though now loyal to Nick Griffin, the BNP leader, she was one of the original “Voice of Change” rebels in December 2007, led by Sadie Graham, at that time her best friend.

It was Brown who let Griffin’s security team into Graham’s house to remove the disputed computer equipment. She immediately resigned as Broxtowe organiser and East Midlands regional secretary when it became apparent that she had been duped by Martin Reynolds and his security team.

Brown wrote a statement of resignation on the rebels’ Enough is Enough website. However, following the collapse of the attempted coup d’état she quickly fell back into the fold and is now very much “on message”.

Dave Brown

Dave Brown

Husband of Nina and also a Brinsley parish councillor, Dave Brown was the BNP candidate for the Broxtowe District Council by-election in Toton and Chilwell Meadows ward on 24 September, caused by the resignation due to ill health of the Conservative councillor Wilfred Childs.

Brown, a plumber, was also one of the “Voice of Change” rebels, but like his wife quickly got back in line when the whole charade fell apart. Both he and his wife are thought to be close to the neo-nazi musician Steve “Stigger” Callendine, formerly a member of the notorious white supremacist band Skrewdriver.

Mike Bell

Mike Bell

Originally from the Merseyside area Mike Bell now lives in the Northfield area of Birmingham and is the BNP’s West Midlands regional secretary. Until recently he was the organiser of the BNP’s South Birmingham branch, which he claims can hold meetings of over 200 people.

Bell has the status of a minor celebrity in the party as he recently managed to ask a question from the audience on the BBC’s Question Time.

His presence on the platform of a nazi rally in Germany might come as a shock to those who have encountered him selling poppies on behalf of the British Legion and laying wreaths to commemorate those who fell fighting the Nazis on Remembrance Day. Bell attended the Fest der Völker with another unidentified BNP activist from the Birmingham area.

Kirklees Unity

All political parties are to be banned from holding stalls at an Essex town’s market in a move to stop the far-right BNP using it as a platform to campaign. Politicians from each group on Colchester Borough Council have agreed to the move after the BNP applied to run a weekly Saturday stall from which to distribute leaflets and recruit members.

But last night the deputy leader of the BNP, Simon Darby, accused the council of “liberal fascism” and said the ban would be counterproductive.

The party was first refused permission to campaign from a market stall in the run-up to the European and county council elections on the grounds that all parties would need to be represented for reasons of political balance.

But after the BNP said it was still interested in taking out the weekly stall after the elections had been held, the council’s portfolio holder for street services, Tim Young, decided to review the rules of the town’s royal market charter.

Yesterday Mr Young stressed that the new ban – due to be formalised this week – would apply to any organisation registered as a political party with the Electoral Commission. This includes not only the three main parties, but also minority parties such as the Communist Party of Britain, , the Natural Law Party and the Legalise Cannabis Alliance.

He added: “We have looked at the rules and regulations regarding the market charter and we have decided political parties should not be able to have stalls. We have agreement from all the political groups on the council – the market is not a place for handing out propaganda.

“It is a place people go to buy fruit and vegetables and other goods, not to be inundated with political literature.”

However, Mr Darby said that the council was effectively trying to ban political competition from the BNP. “This says it all, really. Anybody reading this would recognise it as being absolutely ridiculous. The other parties must be really fearful of what we are trying to get across. It’s just another example of liberal fascism.

“It will backfire on them. The British people have an inbuilt sense of fair play, and they hate this sort of Soviet mentality.”

The case against a teacher and British National Party member accused of religious intolerance has been postponed because police fear it will cause flare-ups in the community

The unprecedented intervention in the case of Adam Walker (left), a former soldier and karate expert from Durham, who was due to face the General Teaching Council (GTC) in Birmingham tomorrow, was made because of tensions between far-right activists and the Muslim community. The council will decide if Mr Walker, 39, should be struck off the register after he was alleged to have used a school computer to contribute racist and religiously intolerant views to online discussions during lessons. If found guilty he will be the first teacher to be banned for religious intolerance.

Violent clashes between the right-wing English Defence League and Muslims in Birmingham earlier this month heightened tensions in the community. Ahead of the hearing, Superintendent Matt Ward of West Midlands Police wrote to the GTC expressing “concern about the potential public order consequences of the hearing being convened in Birmingham at this time,” the council said today. Superintedent Ward requested that the hearing be postponed or relocated to prevent further outbreaks of violence.

The council and the parties involved have seven days to find an alternative date and venues to prevent further delays.

Mr Walker, who is president of Solidarity, a trade union closely associated with the BNP, has already been called before the GTC on two previous dates. Both were postponed on different grounds. He left his post as a technology teacher at Houghton Kepier Sports College in Houghton-le-Spring, near Sunderland in 2007 following the allegations.

The alleged incident, in which he is said to have criticised Muslims, homosexuals and asylum-seekers, is said to have happened between February and March 2007.

He was first brought before the teaching watchdog in November 2008 but the hearing was adjourned after Patrick Harrington, representing Mr Walker, successfully argued that the presence of Judy Moorhouse, a former president of the National Union of Teachers and a “known opponent” of the BNP, could prejudice the hearing.

Police officers, some wearing riot gear, were deployed outside that hearing after dozens of BNP supporters and anti-fascist activists gathered in Birmingham’s Victoria Square outside the offices of the GTC.

Mr Walker’s brother, Mark, lost an appeal against his sacking from Sunnydale College, Shildon, County Durham. Mark Walker, also a technology teacher, is accused of accessing the BNP’s website during school hours. Sunnydale Board of Governors upheld a decision to terminate his contract owing to ill health.

Times Online

A judge has vowed to lock up people convicted of racial abuse after a surge in the number of cases.

District Judge Alan Berg said he was alarmed at the behaviour of ‘worthless people’ and would use jail sentences to restore ‘peace and some sense of semblance of civilisation’.

Judge Berg, who has sat at Manchester magistrates’ court for 15 years, blames booze for bringing people’s prejudices to the surface and told the M.E.N that he had ‘no doubt’ the number of racially aggravated offences he had dealt with in recent months ‘runs into dozens’.

He said: “Invariably those who commit racially aggravated offences have consumed alcohol and are affected by it. Alcohol tends to bring to the surface what may be a latent or previously dormant prejudice. I consider a combination of ignorance and increased consumption of alcohol has contributed to what I perceive as a rise in racially aggravated offences in the recent past – as well as a general lack of respect and absence of civility towards one’s fellow men.”

Judge Berg said the ‘wider consequences’ of letting the problem go unchecked must be ‘avoided at all costs’, warning that abusive and violent racists can expect to go to jail. He said: “Where the offence is so serious, the starting point for a sentence will always be custody. The racial element of an offence both demeans and humiliates the victim in addition to any other harm done to them.”

Attacks

Figures unearthed by Hazel Grove MP Andrew Stunnell show the number of racially aggravated attacks in Greater Manchester soared from 693 in 1998, to 3,637 in 2007. Greater Manchester Police say the rise is down to better recording, and a greater effort by prosecuting authorities to incorporate racial aggravation into criminal charges where appropriate.

Judge Berg spoke out after he jailed Michael Gleve, 23, for attacking and abusing a security guard. Gleve began spouting racial abuse after being refused beer at a supermarket. Gleve, 23, of Bowness Road, Middleton, pleaded guilty at Manchester magistrates court to racially aggravated assault on Mohammed Rahoof and assaulting Richard Wilkie at a supermarket in Blackley last month. He was jailed for 18 weeks.

In another case Judge Berg branded Karl Anderson, 23, a ‘bully and a coward’ for racially taunting an Asian motorist. Anderson, of Woodward Street, Ancoats, pleaded guilty at the city’s magistrates court to racially aggravated assault on Shafiqul Islam on August 7. He was jailed for four months for the racist offence.

In 2005 Judge Berg condemned five youths for ‘unbridled, racist thuggery’ after they attacked two 11-year-old boys and a boy of 14 at an Oldham school. The incident was led by James Peters, then 18, who denied the attack but was detained for 16 months.
