    Link to the list of BNP members...

    Point of which being what, exactly?

    It's appalling to see the public, open incitement on display in the media, on the basis of an unverified list of names.

    Well done, silverbullit - you've sunk yourself to the level of a BNP-style "name and shame the peados (sic) in Britain" campaign. Sad thing is, I doubt you'll even see the irony.
    Oh come on, don't be silly.

    It's the internet
    - it's not real!

    Loads round my area! (10 pages) Always wondered why there's only about 10 or 20 black families around here! And I only see one or 2 regularly!
    We have a population of over 20,000.
    It's amazing the stuff you find out.

    However I do think it's bad that this list was released.
    No matter what political view you have you shouldn't be prosecuted for it. Isn't that what happens in a dictatorship?
    If policemen and doctors get fired for their political belief I will be the first to complain.

    Please note. I'm not a member of the BNP :rotfl:

    Why? They knew the rules, they chose to break them.

  • Whilst I totally agree with the posters who say that people should be able to vote for whoever they like with anonymity - we are not talking a voters list here! - this is (if it is accurate and not tampered with) a list of people who are committed enough to their political view to join (and therefore give money to) a political party. This being the case I don't see why they should have a problem with others knowing what they believe in and stand for???

    That said, the 'vigilantes' are obviously wrong, and anyone taking these sort of actions against anyone else (regardless of their beliefs) should have appropriate legal action taken against them.

    As for people whose contracts of employment state that they will not a political party, if it is found out that they have done so, then they are in breach of contract and should be sacked. No question, no sympathy!



    Now can someone publish a list of members of the Freemasons...that I would like to see!;)

    What on earth are you talking about? 'Acting like it's ok' is not going to be much good if your employer has unilaterally decided that it is going to abuse the illegally relased data to purge all BNP members from its employ. It's not going to change that. You are still unemployed, and facing a bleak future, as an unconvicted, yet unemployable, 'racist', enemy-of-the-people.



    Because it wasn't at risk!!!! These data should not have been released. They are private data that nobody could reasonably expected to have released.

    You might as well say anyone that has a smear test is an idiot because their doctor might secretly take pictures of their vagina and post them on the internet along with their phone number, home address and other personal details. That's not supposed to happen - but it could. It doesn't change the fact that in both cases people have unreasonably had their privacy violated.



    Because it was supposed to be confidential information. It wasn't supposed to be their livelihoods! The radio presenter who just got sacked wasn't banned from joining, there was no suggestion that his output was compromised - in fact given that in such a career your every action is scrutinised, because it is being broadcast to hundreds of thousands of people, there's no chance that it was.

    The reality of modern Britain is that the BBC/Guardian types are out to destroy your livelihood if they know that you support the BNP.

    What are BNP sympathisers supposed to do? Are we living in East Germany? Are you advocating some sort of Stasi so that people can be persecuted more effectively for daring to hold views, even in private, that are 'non-approved'? I wouldn't mind so much but supporters of other extreme parties such as Respect and supporters of terrorists such as George Galloway hold national broadcasting jobs and work for the BBC. And let us not forget what happened when Islamist extremism was exposed on Channel 4's 'Undercover Mosque' programme - the police response was to ignore the filmed extremist hateful views (e.g., 'You have to bomb the Indian businesses, and as for the Jews you kill them physically') far more hateful than anything you'll find on the BNP website (although I have no doubt that a number of BNP members hold views equally as abhorrent), and investigate Channel 4 instead, for 'inciting racial hatred'.

    In any case, it would be hypocritical of you to continue with your ridiculous line of argument unless you post your name, full address, telephone number, email adress, children's names and ages, and details of your hobbies and skills - along with your political affiliations, since you seem to think it doesn't matter that those data in respect of BNP members have been released.

    Bravo that man (or woman) :T
    I totally agree with you.

    Sorry, I thought this was a list of voters. Not donators.
    Still, I do wonder.
    Do the rules say you can't be racist?

    It is a list of members ie people who have paid money to joint the BNP.

    The rules (for certain jobs) say you can't be a member of the BNP. So anyone who has a job with those rules, then joins the BNP is knowingly breaking their contract of employment.
