British National Party Forced To Admit Non-Whites

British National Party forced to admit non-whites

Nick Griffin, the BNP leader, blamed Britain?s 'undemocratic Orwellian equality laws' for the change Fiona Hamilton, London Correspondent

The British National Party is poised to give up its whites-only membership policy after a legal challenge accusing it of racial discrimination.

Nick Griffin, leader of the far-right party, indicated yesterday that the BNP would accept members of different ethnicities for the first time, blaming Britain’s “undemocratic Orwellian equality laws”.

In a statement published on the BNP’s website, Mr Griffin said that the party would have to adapt or die, even though amending its constitution would “stick in the craw of all dedicated nationalists”. The party is considering the change in light of an injunction being sought by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, which claims that the BNP’s membership rules breach the Race Relations Act.

Any alteration to policy would mark a significant moment for the party, which since it was founded in 1982 has only accepted white members.

His push to open up membership is likely to cause factional rows within the BNP, with the party’s most conservative elements resisting such change.

The BNP currently restricts its membership to “indigenous Caucasians”, which it defines broadly as Celts and Anglo-Saxons.

Whatever. I have no sympathy for the BNP, as they are (literally) a bunch of National Socialists.

Freedom of Association is supposed to be party of the Constitution but white people are currently not allowed to declare their neighborhoods “for whites only”.

There are plenty of black only organizations in America, no?
I remember reading Malcolm X's book, in which some deluded, white-guilt, white female travelled all the way from Boston(where else?), to come to New York to beg him to allow her to join his outfit(this was after he'd split with Elijah Mohamed), and Malcolm X telling her, no, its a blacks only organization. This was all before he was shot dead by his ex pal Elijah Mohamed's assassins.

So it's sort of clear, isn't it?

Force will be used against the whiteys whenever they try to assert their nationality.

Funny, don't see anybody doing that to Mugabe and Zimbabwe.

Shhhh....! A little secret. I just had a meeting tonight at the All White Mens Club where I live. It is a health club and business facility. Our meeting tonight was about franchising our business model all over the world, and to get updates on the status of our ventures. Turns out, asian countries are buying shares in our venture like you wouldn't believe. We truly live in interesting times.

Accordingly, the BNP calls for the selective exclusion of foreign-made goods from British markets and the reduction of foreign imports. We will ensure that our manufactured goods are, wherever possible, produced in British factories, employing British workers. When this is done, unemployment in this country will be brought to an end and secure, well-paid employment will flourish.

We further believe that British industry, commerce, land and other economic and natural assets belong in the final analysis to the British nation and people.

To that end the BNP will restore our economy and land to British ownership and will take active steps to break up the socially, economically and politically damaging monopolies now being established by the supermarket giants.

Yeah, I'm the tool of the marxist left.

England seems to be the only land that does not have protections for indigenous peoples.

Thanks for telling me.

Little Green Footballs is a website for politically correct fairies. I wish they wouldn’t censor every little thing they disagree with so I could post over there and give them an ass reaming (which they would probably enjoy).

Freedom of Association disappeared with Civil Rights (Uncivil Rights for Whites).
