The BNP’s Membership List

In case you’ve not already seen, the British Nationalist Party’s membership list (*edited to add link to new source*) has been leaked online. For non-Brits, this is a White Supremacist “political” party in the UK. Everyone on that list stands for everything I stand against.

    It would appear I am a little slow (obvious to all no doubt)…
    Could anyone assist me in finding a valid link? Or perhaps email me a copy?? That would be marvellous

    Much as I loathe and abhor the BNP, I am rather disturbed by the overall reaction to the publication of this list. (Note, this isn’t a criticism of you, Gia, but a worry about the media and some other individuals’ reactions.) We can’t start having double standards about people’s right to privacy, or we’ll sink as low as the very people we despise. I think Steiny put it well when he said:

    “…the moment you sacrifice the values and compromises that hold together liberal democracies (such as a presumption of innocence and a right to privacy for people who’ve not actually been convicted of crimes) for the sake of humiliating your political opponents, you’re starting on a path far more likely to result in ruination for us all than a bunch of marginal wing nuts.”

  8. giagia says:

    Suw, one half of me agrees with you and the other half thinks that it’s actually important public knowledge to know if police, teachers, lawyers, doctors, soldiers are members of an extremist group who thinks there are biological differences between the races and believes that the Caucasian race is superior to all others.

  9. Suw says:

    Yeah, the “public interest” bit is difficult, because on the one hand, if a person’s beliefs are in conflict with their job then it’s important that be addressed. But publishing their home address, phone number, names of their children… that’s going beyond public interest to me. Plotting all that data on a map, so people can more easily find their neighbourhood racist, is starting to verge on incitement.

    It is thorny, but we have to treat these people as human beings with all the rights we would expect for ourselves, otherwise we demean ourselves through our treatment of them.

  10. giagia says:

    I agree the publishing of home addresses etc is a bit much… but I’m finding it difficult to find sympathy for racists and neo-Nazis.

  11. I have one question.

    Can you prove beyond a shadow or doubt that 100% of the names on that list are members who voluntarily submitted and joined the BNP ?

  12. giagia says:

    I’d say the fact that no one has come forward and made a mint out of the tabloids for their wrongful inclusion on the list means that, probably, it’s legit.

    If it was the Liberal Democrats’ membership list would anyone be in a hoo-ha about it? Labour? The Greens? Conservative? Of course not. So why would members of the British National Party care if anyone knows they are members?

  13. Paula Thomas says:

    I also find it difficult to find sympathy for racists and neo-nazis. However a society should3 be judged by its treatment of minorities. The, are, thanfully, a minority.

    Would, for instance, a similar list of alQuaida suspects have been similarly received? I certainly find it difficult to have any sympathy for them either! In fact it strikes me that they are rather similar – both want their own world view to prevail, neither would allow any other competing world view to exist. Both would want me, as a transsexual, dead. If I believe in anything, besides the efficacy of science, it is democracy. As such I believe I have to allow people to hold whatever views they wish, however obnoxious.

  14. giagia says:

    Paula, I agree that everyone should be able to think what they want. I’m not so sure that people who believe others different from them are lesser human beings worthy of fewer rights (if any) should be given sympathy. I WANT to know who stands for things like seeing someone like you killed.

    Their beliefs – like those of radical Global Islamists – promote violence. The people who run the BNP are smart enough to know that their public statements cannot contain inflammatory statements, that doesn’t mean that in private they don’t hold those views.

    I, for example, wouldn’t want my NHS doctor to be someone who thinks black people are not “real” human beings. What kind of care would they provide to their black patients?

    To me this is important public information.

  15. Big Man says:

    I think it’s a bit dangerous letting this information out in public. Of course the BNP and what it stands for is totally reprehensible, but the unfortunate fact is that there are people in this country who aren’t afraid to take the law into their own hands.

    We live in a country where, like it or not, people are entitled to their beliefs. Publishing details about these people leaves them and perhaps more importantly their families, open to attack. There will always be some idiot who’ll take a brick and hurl it through one of these people’s windows; what if it hits a kid?

  16. Paul says:

    Excellent news about the list being published GIA, it’s undoubtedly led to a massive increase in BNP members!!!! Myself being one of them!!!

    Bet you don’t publish this little comment on your leftist, British hating website!!

    And as far as CLOE’s comment above is concerned, I believe (and deep in your heart I think you know it’s true too) that it’s you leftists who are crapping yourselves!!!!

    Unfortunately for you guy’s the tide of public opinion is changing, for too long we’ve had your multicultural nonsense forced down our throat and look where it has got us (Cultural enrichment my ass!!! Read – Anti-white murders, Child prostitute grooming, Drug dealing, Islamic extremism, etc,etc), you’ve a short memory lady, either that or you ignored your history lessons. I can only assume none of your cowardly family ever died on foreign soil to defend your country or its culture.

    I could go on and on about you liberal leftist mafia types backing govenments that openly encourage imports of cheap foreign labour to keep wages low, but your simply not worth anymore effort.

    Pull your head from your ass, grow a backbone and start standing up for something that has a solid base in reality instead of this student dream of a utopian multicultural nirvana that will never, ever exist.

    Oh, and by the way, before you stereotype me as a right wing Nazi uneducated thug you would be very, very wrong……….I’m not on the list, but truly wish I was.

    Best Regards

    Paul

    As per Paul:

    “..this student dream of a utopian multicultural nirvana that will never, ever exist.”

    I am, unfortunately, inclined to agree with you Paul. You see, it could be a reality rather than a dream if it were not for bigoted idiots like you.

    I wouldn’t bother replying with what would probably be (in your own tiny mind) a witty retort, I simply will not read it.

  18. giagia says:

    Interesting how a member of the BNP makes wide, radical and entirely off-the-mark assumptions about me, my beliefs, my political views, and my family members’ ’service to their country’.

    Very interesting.

    (Irony: my Captcha words are ‘SS’ and ‘voters’)

  19. Paul says:

    3Minor, I’d bet the earth you’ll read this reply!!

    “…bigoted” “…tiny mind” Those old chestnuts & exactly my point….!!!

    All you have left are cheap personal insults.

    Leftist Liberalism is built on a fantasy, and propagated by people too immature to accept the real world.

    I don’t have to be a racist, a nazi, or a bigot just because I seek to help preserve a culture built on thousands of years of history and rivers worth of patriotic blood.

    We’ll only ever realise what we had once it’s gone & I don’t intend to loose it quietly.

    I’m a ‘bigot’ and I have a ‘tiny mind’ because I don’t like the idea of my daughter living under Sharia law or any other arcane desert dogma???? I can’t have an opinion without it being classed as racist just because I’m white????? Listen to yourself!!!! Your a real life member of the ‘thought Police’ !!!!!

    Do me, yourself and the rest of humanity a favour and go away.

  20. giagia says:

    Paul, *I* don’t want to live under Sharia law either, thank you. I’m not even happy with the ridiculous Sunday opening hours because Jesus doesn’t want us to be able to do our weekly shop after 5pm that day (or something). Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a fan of any religion, with Christianity and Islam battling it out for first place on my ‘religions I most dislike’ list.

    I don’t need to agree with the BNP and everything they stand for, however, in order to dislike the creeping religion (of any flavour) in the UK.

    Nor do i need to agree with the BNP and everything they stand for in order to desire decency, common sense, logic and ‘good old-fashioned Britishness’ to come back into fashion.

    The BNP carries with it baggage which is unacceptable to any intelligent, logical person. It will take considerably more “re-branding” to make the BNP come across as anything more than a bunch of racist thugs, I’m afraid. The first step may be to stop using so many exclamations marks and making wild speculations about people’s political beliefs simply because they think there is a better way than the BNP.

    “Interesting how a member of the BNP makes wide, radical and entirely off-the-mark assumptions about me, my beliefs, my political views, and my family members’ ’service to their country’.”

    Gia, do you remember the Conservatives’ “Are You Thinking What We’re Thinking?” campaign during the last general election? There is something *really* jarring about being told what one must be thinking. This tactic didn’t work for the Conservatives and it won’t work for the BNP.

  22. Navid says:

    Just few words on Sharia Law–the word Sharia in Arabic means Natural and hence Sharia Law is natural law. However as it stands today it has arrived at by plagiarizing it from the bible by early Jews and christian converts . As a Muslim we don’t want it either. No wonder Archbishop Of Canterbury seems to like the idea as he very well knows that it is a carbon copy of the biblical law. For exact references refer to the following link

    I see no reason why BNP menmbers should be angry or fearful at their names being published for a cause they support. Why are they hiding? Beacuse they are cowards? The ethnic minority they so hate can’t hide, can they? I can’t paint my face white so people don’t know I am black! I am open to attack from BNP members everyday I step out the door just because I am not white.
    In fact not knowing who is BNP poses a danger to the ethnic minority. Imagine making a formal complaint about racism to a ‘police officer’ who is ‘pro-racism’.

    I saw the programme ‘BNP Wives’ where Nick’s wife said she requested she did not want a black mid-wife when having her baby because Nick didn’ want it. What hypocrite I think! Nick and his family should not wear clothes made in china, they are made by ‘non-white people, or but food off the supermarket shelves as they must have been touched be a ‘non-white’ person at some point. The hospital bed she had the baby in might have even been cleaned by a ‘non-white’ cleaner….. and oh! Don’t breathe in british air, its been contaminated by too many ‘non-white’ people!

    I call BNP members hypocrites!

  24. Alex says:

    I cannot believe how small minded people are the BNP are not by any means a ‘racist’ party I know they have many Asian members and they are talking about reasonable immigration. Like Australia if you are able to fend for yourself, are able to work and have skills why should you not be let into the country but if you are being let in and given a free house, free health and Dental care and handouts when English people looking for council houses cannot get one and have been waiting for over a year it makes you feel let down by your own country.
    And relating to the last message about BNP wife’s of course in any organizations you are going to have extremists but you will also have the normal people who only want whats best for the country like me.

    I am 15 im a member of the YBNP, i’m gay and my boyfriend is part Jamaican so I don’t really see why people should view me as racist.

    But of course people wont because they think we are all white supremacists who want to kill all blacks I just hope that one day people will learn that is not what the BNP stands for.

  25. seyi says:

    @Alex: You are really kidding about this ‘asian BNP members’, aren’t you?

  26. seyi says:

    @Alex: Maybe by the time you are 20, you will realise that the BNP is not all about ‘responsible immigration’.
