Ithink it's a shame that a good officer has been lost to the force when they need as many as they can get

No one is stopping anyone from joining the BNP (except the BNP). Steve Bettley can join the BNP if he wants. He just can't be a police officer as well. The Merseyside Police Authority have explained the reasons for his dismissal and that should be enough. If this term in his contract was unfair, don't you think it would have been challenged by now?

Yes it has been disputed, by the MPA. If this was the case, he has had nearly six months to present this evidence. He hasn't, so the only conclusion is that he joined of his own free will. What happened to his mail, all the e-mails, his membership card and welcome pack, during this time? If a "family member" enrolled him without his consent, the family member has committed a criminal offence.

the BNP is not a banned organisation if it was banned then no-one would be able to vote for them

It is a proscribed organisation by the home office.

just because someone joins a political party it does not mean they support all their ideals.Alot of the general population are becomming increasingly sympathetic to SOME of the BNP's ideals whether they admit it or not that doesn't mean they want to kick all non whites out of the country

Nonsense. Are you telling us that people join this party even though they know full well of its racist agenda, its racist policies, manifesto and constitution. The fact that it blocks blacks, Asians and Muslims from joining. Do they ignore this and still join them?
People join this party
because they are racist, there can be no other reason.

But they are a racist party. I don't understand why that is in contention. They have a racist manifesto. They have a racist constitution. They have a racist memebrship recruitment policy. How much more racism do you need, in order to be called a racist?
