doesnt bother me,just shows how violent the other parties are. the bnp are NOT going around beating or killing other party members,or even being rude to them for that matter. they dont promote violence or encourage it in any way. it is the crazed other party members and followers that are wanting to harm or even kill bnp members for thier beliefs. we are not violent towards anyone,im pretty sure there is a word for people that “bully” a minority of people.you havent got to explain yourself to me,better get your story straight for jesus though.if the bnp was majority (which isnt too far away) are you all going to leave the country because its too british? no,your not! but you will once again enjoy our british traditions,to celebrate st georges day,and christmas (the birth of christ,for those who have forgotten).everyone is always complaining the country is overcrowded,little tip….if your not going to join the fight to solve this problem then please juat shut up,smile about it instead if you like,because the people that are trying to sort it are being called racist.next time a friend says how crowded the country is,please call them racist and try to ruin thier life as much as you can. thats what our “perfect government” followers are doing to bnp members for believing what they believe.would you cause problems for people that believe we are alone in the universe? or not? this is simply a belief,not a racist or demonic following.

bravo…i think you should name all labour followers as well.so the troops familys can see exactley who is backing labour sending thier babys to fight wars that has no effect on us whatsoever.also i can understand why you would be pleased that our country spends £60m a year to call ourselves “euro” . this is why everything is so highly priced,not this reason alone but many others. so please, hear both sides before you go thinking your almighty and give judging a go.look at yourself,would the country be better off if everyone was like you?

For me linking to the BNP members list was a no brainer, just as I would have linked to a list of Labour party members, Tories or LibDems. This information should be in the public domain and I hope that by linking to it I can foster a debate around membership of this political party and its members role in the county. Simply put I would weant to know if my doctor, sisters teachers or the local police officer is a member of a rascist party.

I did however take the decicion not to link to the original blog post, but instead to the wikileaks entry.

One last thing I have always stood by the journalism mantra of 2publish and be damed”

I dont see why the like shouldn’t be posted. If the members are as proud of themselves as they seem in the thousands of blogs they visit ever other week, why hide it in real life?
