A: No. "Racism" is when you †˜hateâÃà ‚¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ another ethnic group. We don't 'hate' black people, we don't 'hate' Asians,

Racism is not solely hatred of another ethnic/racial group.

From Dictionary.com:

Racism is...

"1 The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

2 - Discrimination or prejudice based on race. "

The BNP are guilty of both.

The British people were never asked if they wanted a multi-cultural society, immigration was forced on us undemocratically and against the clear wishes of the majority.

...BNP definition of "British people" = white people (see later on)

A: We mean the bonds of culture, race, identity and roots of the native British peoples of the British Isles. We have lived in these islands near on 40,000 years! We were made by these islands, and these islands are our home. When we in the BNP talk about being British, we talk about the native peoples who have lived in these islands since before the Stone Age, and the relatively small numbers of peoples of almost identical stock, such as the Saxons, Vikings and Normans, and the Irish, who have come here and assimilated.

So, according to the BNP, you can only be British if you are white & of anglo-saxon/Viking/Norman/Celtic origin etc.

Black? Asian? Any other non-white ethnic group? The BNP thinks you are foreign & an immigrant (even if you were born here, even if your parents were born here, even if your grand parents were born here....to them, you are still foreign, still an immigrant, still not "British").

A: The first thing a BNP government would do is to stop all further mass immigration into Britain. Then we would put in place a system of voluntary resettlement whereby those foreigners resident in Britain would be encouraged to return to their lands of origin. We would offer them the proper cash provisions to do this. This would stop, reduce and then reverse the headlong rush to a majority ethnic Britain. This scenario would benefit not only the native British people, who would secure themselves a homeland, but those of foreign origin who would take invaluable benefits to their own countries by using the skills and money they acquired in Britain to help their lands of native origins develop. It is the only answer to the present problem, the alternative is that the British people become a minority and face an uncertain future as second class citizens in our own land.

Stop mass immigration - I suppose there are some normal people who may agree with this, because of the "asylum problem" (or is that really "tabloid problem"??), but it goes further than just "closing our borders" etc etc...

"voluntary resettlement" - the BNP used to have a policy of enforced "resettlement", & only changed it to look "nicer".

But even a "voluntary" policy is still wrong. Who do they want to "resettle" (the old "send 'em back where they came from!" etc)???? > "foreigners". What are foreigners according to the BNP? All Non-white people.

"native British people" - BNP meaning = white Britons

"foreign origin" - BNP meaning = not white.

A: We are against mixed-raced relationships because we believe that all species and races of life on this planet are beautiful and must be preserved. When whites take partners from other ethnic groups, a white family line that stretches back into deep pre-history is destroyed. And, of course, the same is true of the non-white side. We want generations that spring from us to be the same as us, look like us, and be moved by the same things as us. We feel that to preserve the rich tapestry of mankind, we must preserve ethnic differences, not †˜mish-mashâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ them together.

Q: Where do you stand on racial attacks?


A: Racist attacks are wrong, plain and simple. The majority of racist attacks in this country are committed against white British people, contrary to the image that the anti-British mass media portray

This is why we contest elections at all levels, from local parish council seats, to the General Election. There simply isn't any evidence whatsoever of any promotion of violence by the British National Party, it is all lies, lies and lies from a left-liberal media who know that our views and policies are shared by millions of people and so resort to unfounded smears rather than dealing with our arguments.

Don't promote violence? Think racial attacks are wrong? LOL, must be a different BNP then...

(Yes, it is a Searchlight link, so obviously some may say they are biased against the BNP (if they are, so what? they are an anti-fascist group, obviously they will campaign against racist fascist **** like the BNP!) - that does not diminish the facts about the racism & violence of BNP members.)

The British National Party is brimming with them †“ all of a criminal nature. †œThe BNP will crack down on crime and restore public safety and confidence,âââ€Å ¡Ã‚¬Ã‚ÂÂÂ� its website states. But despite claiming to be a party of law and order, the BNP is home to criminals, racist thugs and football hooligans. The ranks of the criminals extend to the very highest level of the party. They include:

• Nick Griffin (Party Chairman) Received a two-year suspended sentence in April 1998 for inciting racial hatred. His magazine The Rune carried obscene anti-Semitic and Holocaust denial material as well as crude racism.
• Tony Lecomber (Group Development Officer). In 1985 he was convicted on five counts for offences under the Explosives Act, including possession of homemade hand-grenades and electronic timing devices. Sentenced to three-years imprisonment.
  In 1991 he was sentenced to another three years imprisonment for unlawful wounding for his part in an attack on a Jewish schoolteacher whom he caught trying to peel off a BNP sticker at an underground station. He has a total of 12 convictions.
  
• Colin Smith (South East London organiser). Has amassed a total of 17 convictions for burglary, theft, stealing cars, possession of drugs and assaulting a police officer.
  
• John Tyndall (founder of the BNP). Six convictions. In 1962 he was jailed for organising a paramilitary organisation. Four years later, he was again sent to prison for possession of a loaded gun. In 1986, he was convicted for incitement to racial hatred under the Public Order Act and sentenced to 12 months imprisonment.
  
• Warren Bennett (Chief Steward). Supposed to keep order in the party yet has convictions for football hooliganism. In 1998, he was deported from France with over 50 other Scottish hooligans, including several BNP members.
  
• Steve Belshaw (East Midlands BNP organiser. Was convicted in 1994 for assaulting a lawyer in his home-town of Mansfield. At the time, Belshaw combined his BNP membership with Combat 18 activity.
  
• Kevin Scott (North East Regional Organiser). Was convicted in 1993 for hurling a glass at a black customer in a pub.
  
• Alan Gould (Waltham Forest Organiser). Was convicted in 2000 for racially abusing people in a local pub. He told the court that it was the drink getting the better of him
• Robert Bennett. A leading activist in Oldham BNP during the 2002 elections campaign, Bennett has served five years in prison for the gang rape of a woman. He has also served seven years for armed robbery and has over 30 convictions in total.
• Mick Treacy. The Oldham organiser has five convictions for violence, theft, and handling stolen goods
• Darren Dobson. Found guilty of racially aggravated assault at Oldham magistrates in November 2001. Fined £300. Connected to football hooligans in the Oldham area, and has links to the nazi terror group Combat 18
• Darren Hoy. April 2002, the BNP supporter was sent to prison for 3 months for racially abusing people as they left an anti-fascist rally in Oldham.

In spite of this imposing list, when pressed by the BBC Panorama team in September 2001 on the convictions of its leading members, party leader Nick Griffin just lied. He claimed Tony Lecomber, his deputy merely had a conviction for handling fireworks. He also claimed that party chief steward Warren Bennett had a minor conviction †œsome 15 years agoââ‚Âà ‚¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ÂÂ� but had not been in trouble since. The truth is that Bennett has been named in the Scottish press for violence as recently as 2002. Griffin also tried to claim that Colin Smith had no convictions.

Also, the BNP has historic links with Combat 18 & so on.

I recommend people actually have a good read of....

"Searchlight - Stop the BNP"

"The Politics of the BNP"

"The History of the BNP"

"Profile of Nick Griffin"

"International Nazi Links of the BNP"

Anyone who thinks the BNP are not racist, & not fascist, is, quite simply, an idiot. Or worse.



EDIT:

A little bit about "Searchlight" magazine:

http://www.searchlightmagazine.com/searchlight.asp

Searchlight

Searchlight's aim is to combat racism, neo-nazism, fascism and all forms of prejudice.

Searchlight is a non-sectarian organisation in political, ethnic and religious terms. It believes in achieving the broadest possible unity in the fight against racism, neo-nazism, fascism and prejudice.

Searchlight has existed for more than 30 years. In summer 1962, in response to a resurgence of open and violent neo-nazi activities, a group of people from a wide variety of political and religious backgrounds met in London to set up the Searchlight Association.

Searchlight has appeared as a monthly magazine since 1975. It is now read all over the world.

Simon Wiesenthal, the greatest of the post-war nazi-hunters, described Searchlight as the best English language publication of its kind anywhere in the world.
