BNP revealed
The BNP in the UK (which has helped far-right groups here and in the North in the past - remember that schoolteacher with the Immigration Control Platform a few years back?) just had its membership list published on the interweb.
Apparently it includes teachers, police officers, doctors, etc, the usual mostly white, mostly middle class types that we bizarrely assume to harbour liberal views about most things, including race relations.
The BNP, although it has stashed the skinheads and Nazi regalia in secure storage for the moment as it increases its numbers of elected officials on UK councils, once tried a campaign that makes this publication righteous. They published details like home and work addresses, habits and lifestyles of people who were vocally anti-BNP or far-left (including gay activists), inviting people who happened across their website to let them know what they thought of their anti-British or unpatriotic views.
So now, there's a list out there of people who would break up families; deny people asylum from torture, murder, mutilation; initiate apartheid systems in education, healthcare and representation, because of where they come from or the colour of their skin.
