BNP Members List Leaked.

[pauld]

I won't be surprised if their vote and / or membership increases now.

Yes, it's a great marketing slogan isn't it "Join the BNP and make yourself a target for every identity fraudster, hard-left nutter etc etc going". Don't know why the Lib Dems haven't thought of it.

The counter to that is that people will now appreciate that membership of any organisation is never guaranteed to be kept secret.  So if you don't like the idea that your membership of an organisation might become public in future, you won't join in the first place.

Compared with the members of most other parties, BNP members seem to be rather touchy about people knowing they have signed up.  Can't think why.  I would expect this to be something of a brake on future membership additions for the BNP - and to existing renewals.

although the bnp membership contains a high proportion of biggots and racists,that doesn't apply to everyone.i suspect pensioners and other people who may agree with some views of the bnp will now become targets for far left nutters.

you don't pay for a membership to an organisation that you "may agree with"

No, it's all fully signed up members.

Considering your views earlier implying the lack of intelligence and criminal element of BNP supporters, it's funny how you're now crediting possible recruits with enough intelligence not to join because of ID fraud.

The Bnp ferry pensioners about on Remberance Sundays its part of thier "repectable veneer" I dont think its to wide of the mark to say some of them are card carrying members.Its a fact of life that a higher proportion of pensioners are racist (not that i can back that statement up)

Speaking as someone who used to be one of those "far left nutters" I can assure you that the chances of anyone targeting fucking pensioners is fucking none.

As I posted before the most likely outcomes, other than those people in the forces, police prison service, teachers etc getting a call from their HR departments, is a few fascist owned businesses seeing a bit of a drop off in custom as word gets around, no doubt helped by local anti-racism campaigns.

Some anarchist groups like Antifa might want to use the list for more direct confrontation but there's a handful of them to be honest and they'll be concentrating on prominent members that they can now track to a home address.

Other than that there might be a few 'phone calls from the likes of Mex asking about their chees preferences.

Serious ant-fascist groups will have had many of the more prominent members' addresses for some time anyway. And those scrotes who've stood as BNP councillors, their addresses are in the public domain and have been for years, as is required by electoral law. There's not been a whole rash of attacks on their houses etc so really this is a red herring. The point is more, as Lumps and others have said, what kind of a political party is it that you're too ashamed to admit to being a member of it in case it affects your social and professional standing. Pariahs

by far left nutters i meant extreemists who may take action against individuals.not necessarily people who just have left of centre political views.

i'm also sure some people on that list will get some stick because of their memberships of the bnp.i dont think people will dig out members dates of birth and discard the old uns before doing whatever they do.

That's no different to me asking you whether you have a Hitler t-shirt and I know BNP members hate those comparisons.

I wasn't talking to you

This is great Wednesday afternoon entertainment - keep it up.

The one thing I've learnt from reading all the BNP comments is that they seem to regard anyone to the left of them (And lets face it, John Redwood is to the left of them) as a raging Trot.
