BNP embracing the rainbow revolution?
Following on from the legal action being brought by the European Human Rights Commission against the BNP, seeking, amongst other things, to overturn the BNPs "whites only" membership policy on the grounds of breakng the Race Relations Act.
According to BBC news, various agreements have been reached in court.
1. That BNP councillors and MPs have to represent all members of their constituency fairly and impartially, regardless of their constituents race or religion.
2. That Nick Griffin is going to call upon the BNPs membership to change their constitution to accept anyone should they so wish, regardless of their ethnic origin or religion.
The judge himself seemed somewhat perplexed as to what members of any non white ethnic group would be interested in joining the BNP. The consequences to the BNP, should they fail to change their constitution, are potentially severe - heavy fines and possibly even jail time for senior members.
And you have to laugh at the BNPs response that this decision "infringes their rights"
This should be interesting - I would love to be a fly on the wall at any of their meetings discussing this! :)
