The Royal Mail is investigating claims that its staff have dumped far-right election leaflets "across Wales" instead of delivering them to households.
BNP chairman Nick Griffin has accused postal workers of dumping hundreds of leaflets at a single address and claims the party has "heavy reports" of widespread non-delivery of its election pamphlets.
"These have been dumped undelivered, likely across the whole of Wales," he told members in an email.
"Royal Mail [has dumped] 400 of our Welsh Local Assembly election leaflets in the back garden of one of our candidates," he claimed.

I know the BNP are not one of the main stream parties but they are a legitimate party and if this accusation is proved then the Royal Mail should be bought to book .

During previous election campaigns, some postal workers have refused to deliver BNP leaflets using a "conscience clause" in their contracts that allows them to reject literature they find offensive.

"conscience clause" what the hell is that all about ?.Apparently any posty can refuse to deliver mail he/she finds offensive and have done so in the past

In 2009 around 100 delivery staff in Bristol and Somerset refused to handle pamphlets with an anti-immigration message.
