The lowlife that did that must be a very nasty person, what party would have him as a member?

They wouldn't - that's why he leaked the information.

Kicked him out because he was too extreme they say.

Thats becuase its a LEGITAMTE and LEGAL political party.

Conversely the LABOUR party probably has murderers, rapists and child abusers amongst its supporters...

What a prat, writing stuff like that....almost all the leadership of the BNP have criminal records.

I don't agree with it being illegal to question a period of history, that is just playing into the hands of the far right (and the show trials eg Irving), something like Hitler burning the books.

It's not illegal, in the UK, though. Unless it's just come in. It is in Austria, where he was convicted of holocaust denial and sentenced to prison.

Irving sued for libel here. He was described as a holocaust denier, and anti-semitic, and sued the author (Deborah Lipstadt) and publisher (Penguin). He lost. The book was called Denying the Holocaust.

Irving said once that, Auschwitz was "a labour camp with an unfortunately high death rate".

Nick Griffin, the leader of the BNP, seems a rather unpleasant chap. He said, for example:

I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that six million Jews were gassed and cremated and turned into lamp shades. Orthodox opinion also once held that the world is flat. I have reached the conclusion that the 'extermination' tale is a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda, extremely profitable lie, and latterly witch hysteria.

I'm shocked, that is reprehensible.

I think this list may well be inaccurate. I just read this on an interesting blog:


Exactly this scenario exists in the case of the BNP Membership List if a single person is on there by mistake: links will be to a post alleging that x, y or z is a member of the BNP. Bearing in mind that BNP Activists are posting that the list is out of date, and that the current membership is of the order of 6,000, linking to a posting suggesting that 10,000 people or so are BNP members looks a touch perilous.

I know it is not illegal in the UK, I don't think I said it was, but it is in Germany, Austria and Poland, I think to deny people total free access to study and report on historical events is a very slippery slope, even if it does allow some slimeballs to misuse it.
