Falling Apart: The six BNP councillors who should lose their seats in May

5:54pm Wed April 11th

Six incumbent BNP councillors are up for re-election in the local council elections on 3rd May. As if their disgusting policies weren’t enough reason to throw them out next month, their record in office should be the final nail in their electoral coffin. BNP councillors across the land have let down their voters by ignoring the concerns of locals, putting forward illegal motions or simply by not even bothering to turn up.

Here are the six incumbent BNP councillors who should lose their seats on 3rd May:

Cllr Cliff Roper (Amber Valley) – Roper is the leader of the BNP on Amber Valley Borough Council. Last year he accused local police of “harrassment” against the BNP when a local member was arrested after an argument with a neighbour.

Cllr Patricia Richardson (Epping Forest) - Richardson is “a close friend of Tony Lecomber, a leading BNP activist, who was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for leading an antisemitic attack on a Jewish teacher”. Ludicrously, Richardson is Jewish herself and denies that the BNP are antisemitic.

Cllr Sharon Wilkinson (Burnley) – Wilkinson (pictured above and right) is the leader of the BNP on Burnley Borough Council and shockingly opposed the building of new schools in the area because they would encourage children of different backgrounds to integrate. Instead, she favours “small schools serving each community”.

Cllr Will Blair (Rotherham) – Will Blair’s leaflets for the 2010 general election featured an odious diatribe against immigrants: “We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!”

Evidence of the BNP falling to pieces is clear: two of their eleven councillors have left the party due to disputes with other members. If this lot lose they’ll be down to just five out of the 22,000 council seats nationwide. Although they’ve left the party, watch out for these equally detestable former BNP incumbents who are still looking for your vote in May:

Cllr Lewis Allsebrook (Amber Valley) – Despite his self-righteous outburst when Richard Barnbrook resigned the BNP whip, Lewis Allsebrook quit the British National Party too after a series of local disputes. He’s now “searching for a new political home” – that’s if anyone wants him.

Cllr Martyn Findley (Nuneaton and Bedworth) – Findley was furious when his local branch of the Citizens’ Advice Bureau blocked him from helping out because he was a BNP member – but now even he doesn’t want anything to do with the party. He’s still shamelessly running as a nationalist, however, and says: “I consider that being offended is character building.”

Hope Not Hate have the full list of BNP candidates for the local elections in May, and plenty of advice on how to stop the far right from celebrating success at the local elections next month.

Let’s wipe the smirks from those mugshots.

Now where's that membership list again? BNP email claims to be "data protection secure"

9:34pm Tue November 17th

Those lads at the BNP obviously have a sense of humour. Their latest email features three banner appeals to supporters for an “urgent gift” accompanied by the image of a padlock and the text “DATA PROTECTION SECURE”.

These reassurances come from an organisation which has lost the emails, addresses, phone numbers and other personal details of its members not once but twice in the last year!

Tell that to your members who had dog sh*t pushed through their doors!

Your membership details? He losted it.

Can’t see the steady stream of stories dying off before 10:35pm tomorrow. Some may be keeping their gunpowder dry until Friday or even the weekend.

It’s open season.

BNP claim leaked membership list is a forgery

1:51pm Tue October 20th

1 comment

The BNP are claiming that the latest leak of their membership list is a fake:

The so-called “new BNP membership list” published today on the Internet is a malicious forgery, party leader Nick Griffin has announced.
“We have had a chance to examine the list in detail and can unequivocally say that it is not a genuine BNP list,” Mr Griffin said.
“It is a concoction of the ‘old’ list plus a number of inquiries received, but, most disturbingly, it contains thousands of names of people with whom the BNP has had no contact whatsoever,” Mr Griffin said.
“The list includes thousands of people with renewal and membership numbers next to their names which are totally false and made up,” Mr Griffin said.
“We have no idea from where this information has been drawn. Some of it looks like random items drawn from a telephone book,” he said, adding that part of the list looked like information which was taken from the home of an ex-BNP employee by police during an earlier investigation.

Guardian confuse former Chief of Defence Staff with BNP amateur genealogist

Posted before the BNP membership database was made available on Wikilieaks, an article on the Guardian’s website sparked ferocious speculation as to the identity of a “peer” registered as a member of the far-right party. If borne out this would have uncovered a BNP seat in the House of Lords and their first Westminster parliamentarian.

After digging by bloggers, it was discovered this morning that Lord Edwin Bramall had been confused somehow with an entry for a “Lord Brian Bramhall”. The former was the Chief of the Defence Staff during the Falklands War and the latter is an amateur genealogist from Staffordshire.

“Lord” Bramall is not the only BNP member with pretensions to nobility – a previous leak of the membership list included a “Lord” Adam Murray.

Although the true identity of the fake peer can be uncovered with a couple of Google searches, Guardian journalists may have been led astray by Lord Bramall’s supposed track record. In 2006 Bramall hit a fellow peer, Lord Janner, after making what witnesses describe as a series of anti-Israel comments during the Lebanan conflict. Although Janner is a senior member of Britain’s Jewish community, “there was no anti-Semitic remark but the comments by Bramall were anti-Israel. It took place in one of the rooms close to the Lords chamber and it got out of hand. It ended with Bramall hitting Janner”.

It's going to be an interesting day

Exclusive: Guardian awaiting response from peer named on encrypted BNP list

12:28am Tue October 20th

13 comments

Following the disclosure that the British National Party’s membership list has been leaked for the second time in twelve months, Scrapbook can reveal that the BNP had used encryption in an attempt to better secure the database. The Microsoft Excel files, believed to be which are in the possession of the Wikileaks website, had been encrypted using PKZIP archive software.

Speculation has been mounting on Twitter as to the identity of the as yet unnamed “peer” cited by The Guardian a BNP member. Scrapbook’s source indicates that the prospective member of the House of Lords is not the phony “Lord Adam Murray” appearing on a previously leaked database.

Helen Pidd tweet on BNP leak

Guardian journalist Helen Pidd – who incidentally has excellent taste in satchels – has tweeted that the name checks out as a genuine member of the House of Lords. The paper are now awaiting a confirmation or denial from the peer, who resides “in a shire county”. If the listing is genuine this would give the BNP their first ever Westminster parliamentarian.

Stay tuned.

UPDATE: The membership database is spread across approximately nine spreadsheets. These may correspond with the different grades of membership (standard, family, Gold etc) offered by the party.

UPDATE II: Techie tweeter @ariehkovler has given the following helpful insight in to the encryption used: ”PKZIP includes strong encryption since 2003. Strong=nearly unbreakable. But just adding a password won’t do, bet they did that … you have to choose to use the strong encryption. If they did then whoever leaked it also leaked the password … Final thought: they could have used superstrong encryption but with a guessable or dictionary-attackable password.”

UPDATE III: One of the far right’s holding lines appears to be that ”It hasn’t been leaked again, it’s the same bloody document according to that link that’s doing the rounds. Who cares, every bloke and his dog has seen the old one.” This is obviously bollocks as The Guardian have confirmed existence of new names.

UPDATE IV: Nick Griffin’s official response posted.

BNP in the House (of Lords): latest leaked membership list includes peer

10:50pm Mon October 19th

1 comment

The Guardian is reporting that the BNP’s membership list has leaked for the third time. The information is due to be published tomorrow by an as yet unnamed website and, worryingly, includes a member of the House of Lords.

Tomorrow will probably be filled with a Jan Moir-esque public flogging of the peer involved. In the meantime, however, let’s revisit this little beauty, created the last time the list leaked in November 2008:

Hitler: I mean how hard can it f*cking be to keep your files secure?
Flunky: In Windows Vista it can be a right pain
Hitler: I don’t give a f*ck, it’s not rocket science!
