As I said yesterday, the election of two BNP members has stirred up the political establishment and the media. For most of this week, commentators have exhorted the main parties to fight the BNP by addressing the grievances which lead people to support it. So, we must crack down on immigration to stop the BNP. We must build more houses to stop the BNP. We must create more jobs to stop th...

NICHOLAS Soames, the Conservative MP, yesterday called for action to be taken against the British National Party to stop it using an image of his grandfather, Sir Winston Chu

According to today's Independent, 'senior Labour figures' are said to have told Gordon Brown that the BNP are likely to win two seats in June's European elections. Oh dear, are we to see another attempt by Labour to hype the threat from the BNP so as to drive voters back to the shelter of the Labour Party? It is true that the BNP have has a series of good by-election results, and this week's

A potentially very worrying situation is developing with the rally to stop the BNP’s festival on 16th August. Nottingham Stop the BNP and othe rlocal campaigners have been working to build this event continuously over the last 9 months for this event. See . Over the months with the help of the Searchlight network they

The media and chattering classes are agog that the BNP, a fascistic and racist party, have gained some electoral success. So what? The Labour and Tory parties have been broadly fascistic (a corporatist 'soft fascism' whose symbol is a CCTV rather than the goose-step-and-armband kind) for the best part of a decade. Thus the way I see it, the BNP is just a more overt and perhaps more hones...

Leafing through some of Pickled Politics' old articles, I found some wonderful examples (from Stop the BNP) of how the BNP behaved once they had got into power: In Sandwell: (my favourite) Last summer Sandwell’s two BNP councillors thought they would outfox their political rivals by proposing a motion to the full council calling on the government to stop sending asylum seekers to the bo...

There is a great deal of angst being expressed over the airways at the moment about the BNP's two seat success in the European elections. I have heard several politicians - including the ever obfuscating Harriet Harman - explain that this is a terrible sadness, that it is a protest vote, that the BNP have managed to disguise their racism. Well, whatever else can be said about the BNP's success, it...

There has been quite a lot of hand wringing from the mainstream political parties over the past couple of days about the 'success' of the BNP in the Euro elections. I put the word 'success' in quotes because the one thing that has been lost is some perspective. The BNP now have two MEPs from 72 British MEPs (2.7%) in a Parliament of just over 730 MEPs (0.2%). They join the other 70 or so loons, 9/...

The maker of Marmite is threatening legal action against the British National Party to stop it from using a jar of the spread in a party broadcast.

Edmund Standing of I Kid You Not lifts the lid on the sewer of the internet and discovers that… The BNP is currently boasting about the success of its latest twisted initiative - an attempt to poison the minds of children using YouTube videos featuring a character called ‘Billy Brit’.
