“Over to you, Chris”

Britain Forward lies: “With almost Stalinist rigour Nick Griffin has deprived Chris Jackson from access to the main forums and websites that BNP members visit and respect. All that is left open to him to put forward his challenge for the BNP leadership is “equal space” in our internal members’ bulletin British Nationalist.”

The truth: Nick Griffin has merely enforced rules which were laid down in the last leadership challenge in 1999.

This means that no official party organ can be used to propagate the candidacy of any person, apart from an equal shout in the members’ bulletin.

There is however no proscription on holding meetings, addressing members via independent Web sites or campaigning in any other normal way.

In this regard, all candidates – Nick Griffin included – are subject to the same rules.

For Britain Forward to whine on about “Stalinist rigour” is just nonsense of the first degree. Any leadership challenger is free to campaign on or off the Internet, as they see fit, and there are no restrictions whatsoever, apart from the obvious one that party organs must be seen to be unbiased.

Just what the country needs, another gang of Internet warriors slagging off the first Chairman of a Nationalist Party to actually improve the image of British Nationalism and gain support of the electorate.
The BNP under Griffin has councillors, a public profile (sans jackboots)and the growing affection of the electorate.
Thousands of people across the country voted BNP because of the committment of grass roots councillors and the high profile of very likeable Nick Grioffin.
Is Britain Forward affiliated to the UAF by the way?
