The Nursing Times ran an article a few days ago about the moves to ban nurses from joining the British National Party. Some interesting comments ensued. The first one started: The British National Party is a legal, registered, political party. It does not tolerate racism or hate in any form, and seeks to protect the history, culture, human rights, and future of the indigenous people of the British...

Matthew Goodwin’s new book, New British Fascism: Rise of the British National Party, expands on one of his previous works on political extremism to look in-depth at just the BNP. New British Fascism: Rise of the British National Party has at its heart an extensive set of interviews with BNP members. His conclusion is a

The British National Party is showing its usual attachment to principle, somewhat after the fashion of Christian Voice some time ago. According to the party's Leader, Nick Griffin, the publication of a list of BNP members on the internet will be "water off a duck's back to the stout hearts of the British National party"; the morals of the British National Party being as staunch and

News that a list of members of the British National Party has been published on the internet has met with a mixed reaction. For those who don't know, the British National Party has a rather narrow approach to matters political. It argues for the UK to be self-governing in every respect.

Following the recent publication of the membership of the British National Party BNP, the NMC would like to remind nurses and midwives that while you are free to join the BNP whi...

British Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown has just announced the formation of a National Council for Democratic Renewal in a further attempt to regain the political initiative following the MPs expenses revelations.

Matt Wardman has a copy of the BNP's Constitution, which appears to have disappeared from other sources on the intermong. Their founding principles are: (a) The British National Party is a party of British Nationalism, committed to the principle of national sovereignty in all British affairs.

As far as I can determine, the British National Party (BNP) is a perfectly legal political organisation.
