Legal Action Over BNP Membership Rules

[jonny72]

The Equality and Human Rights Commission have started court proceedings over the BNP membership rules:

Pretty bloody stupid thing to do I reckon. Its going to give the BNP even more publicity and what happens if the BNP win? Plus you can be sure that the BNP will bring up every other organisation that has even vaguely similar rules, if similar action is taken against those organisations I'd imagine the BNP will go after EHRC for race discrimination.

It will all end in tears.

If it works, every black person in the country should join, vote themselves into positions of power and change the name of the party to something facile with the same initials.

The Blind Narwhal Party.

This should be a good thread.........

Where's Ironside when you need him?

There was a Turkish Cypriot BNP activist a few years back.  To be honest I reckon they'd take anyone who was anti-immigration and anti-islam, and there's plenty of black folk about that are.


But more to the point, HOW COME THEY FUCKERS ARE ALLOWED THE MOBO AWARDS, THEN I CALL ONE A NIGNOG AND I'M A RACIST?

If it ain't white, it aint right.

I was joking btw.

I think, in answer to Amirs question, that Mobo is not considered an offensive term, whereas i belive nignog is

They won't be able to - the BNP operate a cadre system so that only "special" members have full voting rights. Griffin was careful to reassure his democratic following at their recent RWB shindig that even if they do lose the case, any new "ethnic" members would not be able to vote on anything important. Presumably they were either all special members themselves or so "special" they hadn't worked out that also meant they didn't get to vote on anything important either. Such is the BNP's version of democracy

Cheers, Dave.  You learn something new every day, eh!

That said, Mobo can be rearranged to spell Boom, so I'm not completely convinced.

[chalkies_shorts]

It can also spell moob and being a fat bastard with a pair I might find it offensive.

[jonny72]

They let honkies in though don't they? Pretty certain they've given some awards as well.

[RobertT]

I think they should push further and try and get some positive discrimination in place.  Have a few regions where they can only vote on Black Muslim candidates, preferrably ones who were born in another country and can do crazy shit like speak another language.  They will of course have to stick to party policies publicly for the sake of unity and all.

First they came for the BNP, next on the list will be Meerkats. They're racist little bastards as well, according to the Guardian

That may be the single stupidest article I've ever read.

Agreed, should we sue Benny Hill (if he was still alive) for parodying the west country accent in "Ernie the fastest milkman in the west"

Fucking pathetic.
