Anyone seen a copy? Anyone here named and shamed?

It's on wikileaks just do a google search for it.

There is one person on there from the village that I grew up in.

Have't done a proper search through it yet.

Is it quite a big deal to be a member of the BNP? I don't understand what all the fuss is about?

Imagine the Nazis but without the positive PR

Imagine a South African not understanding why the BNP is such an objectionable organisation...

haha at Brock. I was going to make a SA reference but thought I would steer clear of that one.

Well that's why I'm asking, so that I can learn.

Syl: The BNP (British National Party) is a far right whites only party which, with pledges such as "committed to stemming and reversing the tide of non-white immigration and to restoring, by legal changes, negotiation and consent the overwhelmingly white makeup of the British population that existed in Britain prior to 1948.".

Basically, they hate all foreigners. They've recently attempted to paint themselves as "not a racist party" and mutter about patriotism and keeping England out of Europe. Close links with UKIP and Navigor, all of which might secretly be the same thing. It's illegal to be, eg: a police officer if you're a member of the BNP. But not a teacher, even though they believe half-breed kids are an abomination.

Just been looking for the "BNP poetry section" thread on the iamcal archives, and I can't find any sign of it... is my mind playing tricks on me?

At the end of my road there is sheltered housing. Full of old people. And BNP Members apparently. 3 of them.

Oh I see. Thanks Doc, now I understand. Sheesh, that's pretty grim. Do they have a large following in the UK?

Wikipedia says, "In the 2005 UK general election, the BNP received 0.7% of the popular vote, giving it the eighth largest share of the vote, although it was fifth overall among English seats." but there may be more of them as there could be quite a number that couldn't manage to put an 'X' in the required box.

a fair few of them drew an "X" with extra lines on the ends
