UKIP - BNP's hypocrisy

The UK Independence party are sezing the opportunity of taking on the BNP ahead of next year's Euro elections. Talk of their "absence" from next year's poll is perhaps hasty, and they are now trying to capitalise on the BNPs membership disaster:

UKIP leader Nigel Farage poured scorn on BNP complaints about their membership lists being made public. "It's the classic case of the biter bit" said Farage. "They've had no compunction about using parts of our database which they managed to obtain to contact our members directly. In fact the Information Commissioner is still dealing with our complaint of last summer about this misuse."

"It says it all about the BNP that so many of those on their database seem to be worried about being revealed as members. Who would join a party where membership is a social and professional embarrassment? And finally, how ironic is it that the BNP leadership is bleating about their position under the Human Rights Act, something they claim they want to abolish."

Are these votes you want, though?

"Who would join a party where membership is a social and professional embarrassment?" asks the leader of UKIP.

[David Boothroyd]

I guess the Leader of UKIP thinks that he is more likely to portray a positive image of his party by robustly condemning the BNP and distancing himself from it, than the opposite.

If so, he is right.

Calls for a merger,UKIP,BNP,English Democrats,campaign for an English Parliament,then the CHICKENS would come home to roost.

what kind of scumbag Brits like New Labour and Tory muppets send citizens off to war,,..kill Muslims by bombing, torture etc,..
then have the gall to call the BNP racist?

the BNP has dropped NO bombs on anyone,..killed no children,..invaded no country,..BNP have not given false and Libelous evidence to the world,.or put before the United Nations as a pretext to illegally invade another country
Then the real Fascist Labour, Tory, Liberal, UKIP members dictate who and how a BNP member (or prospective one,..can and SHOULD vote)
Even champagne Socialist deadwood Dictator Billy Bragg does it,..intimidating people on what they think or vote for.

And if you don't tow the Tory , New Labour line,..they will throw bricks, petrol bombs and worse,..through you home windows,..and sack you in your job..
Contrary to the EU's own Human Rights Charter

A Brown - bit upset about the list then?!
No BNP have not dropped bombs......because they are not in power and never will be....ever. But I know they sure would like to. I remember them when they were called the National Front. They wore doc martens, bomber jackets and skinheads. Now they wear shoes and blend in with everyone else. Nikki Griffin did a great PR job on them. But once a nazi always a nazi. Funny because they probably have lots in common with fundamental muslims - holocaust deniers for starters, problems with saying what they think in public, want a landjust for their own, etc etc.
You mention Human Rights charter but the BNP want that done away with as its an EU law, so best not to mention that when defending them.

[Tony Gray]

No wonder there is a minority vote from the electorate in the UK! Is the BNP right winged racialist etc. etc. why are Libertarians such as ex. members of the Green Party and Liberal Democrats now or were members of BNP, well our politicians have now lost the plot!
God rest your soul David Sutch, you had got it right, "Monster Raving Loonies" THE FUTURE!

This all smacks of current government emotional driving of the population. Why? Could it be that we are about to go into the worst financial depression in living memory? Need a distraction do they?

Why don't the current government come out and declare this obvious invasion of privacy disgraceful?

If they are smiling about it (or worse, behind it!) ... then who are really using fascist methodology?

Don't just bleat about a 'free country' ... stand up for it!

I'm happy for ethnic minorities to group together for solidarity ... also religious and political. Also Bridge, Tennis and Darts clubs.

People who take guns, clubs and knives onto the street, however, to hurt their fellow humanity, I am not happy about. Whoever they are.

Try and keep this country truly free guys.

Don't be emotionally driven. We are more than a shoal of fish.

can we just get one thing straight - it was an ex BNP member that released the list. Even the BNP have said that. So no govt conspiracies. Freedom of Speach? Be careful what you wish for as you could get more 'hate preachers' because its a 'free country'.
Some organisations peddle hate and the BNP are one of them. Sometimes society has to draw a line.

[Richard]

That's rich, farage is hated within in his own party.

[John]

UKIP are dead in the water. They are irrelevant.

[Graham]

I could sympathise more with Mr Farage if he published his MEP Expenses. What is Mr Farage 'worried about being revealed'?

[Lewis Allsebrook]

Just because the BNP membership list was not in the public domain doesn't mean their members are embarrassed.

If Labour party members, and all the others for that matter are so proud of their party, why don't they publish their details.

I would imagine with Labours record for ruining this country there'd be some very worried people in their ranks should their membership list slip into the public domain.

One may belong to a party without necessarily agreeing to all the manifesto. My LD MP is great, but I don't like his party's stance on Europe. However, in the system as it is, one may not vote on issues, so have to choose a 'best fit'. BNP believes in England for the English, and those who become as the English. It talks about proper punishment for criminals, not namby-pamby' community service. That sounds perfectly OK to me.

The reason the BNP don't publish their membership list is simple. Labour fanatics have already launched one terrorist attack in Yorkshire. Would you want these thugs to know where you live ?

[Major General Billbrook-Smythe]

Bally do-gooders releasing details of real people. Probably coomie red jews behind it. In my opinion they should be publicly flogged and executed on Blue Peter. That'd sort this country out. If we had a BNP government we'd have some discipline, damn it. This is what happens when you educate the lower classes, they learn how to publish membership lists on the interweb. Bring back the good old days, when they doffed their caps to their betters. The BNP will take us back. Oh yes.

Farage has said that he would not buy a used car from the EU commision because of corruption but at the same time will not reveal his own expenses and refuses to stand down as requested by his own party.
This man is a hypocrite and should not be listened to because after all ukip was set up to take votes from the BNP as an anti European party thats not actually anti EU.
Line your pockets while you can Farage its not going to last.

All these other parties are to splinter the British Peoples patriotic vote, UKIP, English Democrats, what point an English Parliament, or a Scottish one, Irish or Welsh if 85% of BRITISH Laws are made by Brussles.They are set up to divide the Patriotic vote.
