BNP membership list leaked online

[Wozza]

Bet they'll be a few nervous racists around tonight...

The British National Party has lost its membership list - the whole thing has been published online.

The list includes names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of all members up to September 2008. It also includes some people's ages, especially those under 18 - the BNP offers family membership for £40. Many entries also contain more personal comments about jobs or hobbies. That's how we know that that BNP members include receptionists, district nurses, amateur historians, pagans, line dancers and a male witch.

Why should they be nervous. The BNP is a legitimate political party.

With this post, you have shown that not all BNP members are shaven-headed thugs. Maybe somebody within the party leaked the list in order to make the point. Why should people on the list be nervous? No sanctions can be imposed on anyone because of their politics. People gravitate to the extremes only because mainstream parties ignore their legitimate concerns.

Before you get too self-righteous, my local shopkeeper, a man of Pakistani origin, has told me that he is prepared to vote BNP as they are the only party he can rely upon to crack down on the bandana-clad youths who keep vandalising his shop.

By the way, before anyone asks, I'm not a member of the BNP, I've never been a member and never will be, though I am heartily sick of the Oxbridge-educated, week-kneed liberals who continue to run this once-great country.

Still would make you look like a bit of a **** though wouldn't it?

So you're saying most BNP members are open about it, Coventrygull?!

Are there not aspects of your life that you would rather be kept out of the public domain?

Oh, are you one of these people who only answers a question with a question?

Why would it matter, the BNP is a legitimate party. (apparently)

You find that funny? Do you wonder why nothing ever changes in this country? The Establishment relies on ignorance and apathy to allow it to continue to mismanage the country. Have you not heard of the conspiracy of the two front benches? I didn't think so.

Sometimes, a question serves as an answer.

Don't think it's fair to spread URL on here, btw - it is personal info, after all.

Fair enough but it's now in the public domain and accessible to everyone anyway.

No apparently about it.

It depends on how you see legitimate. Factually legitimate maybe, but morally legitimate? I think you may struggle with that one....
