While every effort will be made to help addicts to recover, individuals convicted of the importation and large-scale dealing of hard drugs will face the death penalty.

So it is with great delight that we can announce that one of their candidates in the Yorkshire area, Karl Hanson, has been charged for possesion of "crack cocaine".

It will be interesting to see (if Karl is convicted) whether the BNP publically supports the use of the death penalty in this case.

It is believed that a majority of the party's membership, particularly amongst standing candidates, possess a criminal record.

This is probably my favourite piece of political hypocrisy of the year so far!

I doubt they will get the opportunity to call for it. The UK has completely abolished the death penalty.

Then this situation would be a great opportunity for the BNP. They could try to get the death penalty reinstated and show that they are a party of consistent principles at the same time. ;)

Just because it's banned doesn't mean that they can't shout for it.
Remember Ian Huntley, Roy Whiting et cetera.

But I don't think the British Nazi Party will call for hanging.

Speaking of election candidates...

Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP, has already been charged with incitement of racial hatred and many of them have served sentences for racially motivated crime.

I think we should all join together in thanks that the BNP make racist policies in British politicals so utterly without credibility.

Has anyone noticed that Nick Griffin looks wasted as well?

At least they are destroying what little credibility they have...
Unfortunately I'm one of the few Lib Dem supporters in a Tory/UKIP/BNP heartland...

Labour candidate Barry Sheerman, who is hoping to retain the seat, said he was "disturbed" that someone with serious charges hanging over them would be standing for election.
"If this man has been charged with criminal activities we will have to see what the courts decide."


Eh? Did this chap sleep through the whole Bobby Sands thing or something?

The BNP unfortunately are not a joke. They have local councillors and some support in some areas.
last week we debated with some BNP supporter on here who was claiming he was voting for them because muslims had attacked his local church with swords!!!!!
He wouldn't tell us where he was or give a news reference and no-one could find one or had heard of it but he had some support from other posters.
OK that kind of thing doesn't wash on the internet cos you can check news archives really quickly but it's the kind of propaganda that woked well for the Nazi's against the jews.
You can't be complacent with these loonies they may be thick but thrown mud sticks.

I am afraid they are a joke. A joke that is unfunny.
It disgusts me at the ignorance and backwardness that still pervades my country and allows people to vote for such an outmoded and despicable organisation. I hope for the day when Fascism and National Socialism are finally burned as the refuse they are.

Your right.
It's very easy when a man is out of work, maybe because he's unemployable, unreliable or untrustworthy to tell him it's because an immegrant has got his job. No one likes to think these things are their own fault and when major parties lke the Tories raise immegration as a serious vote winning issue the BNP can jump on the back of that and it gives more credence to their arguments.
They should be banned as a party but that would remove their freedom to be hatefilled bigots :mad:

My analogy regarding the destruction of National Socialism and Fascism was no rallying call for the BNP being banned. I am fully in favour of them practicing their outmoded beliefs; it is their democratic and civil right. What I meant to say was that I hope such beliefs piffle away into oblivion as people realise the irrelevance and the moronic nature of that party.
