3 REICHS AND YER OUT

Here’s a data loss we can all be happy about. The BNP’s entire membership (around 12,000 people) has gone online - you can find your local goosestepping moron at www.bnpmemberslist.co.uk

‘Nasty’ Nick Griffin, BNP leader, suspects the individual responsible is a disgruntled “hardliner” senior employee who left the party last year. While Nick claims he welcomes the publicity, saying the list contradicted the perception of the average BNP member as a “skinhead oik”. BNP spokesman, Simon Darby took it less well: “If we find out the name of the person who published this list it will turn out to be one of the most foolish things they have done in their life”.

Additional published information includes addresses, emails, occupations, phone numbers and even supporters’ interests, (including a witch and a Crawley based kite-maker). Those exposed include social workers, prison officers, police, military officers, solicitors and even teachers.

Extra notes include: “Discretion requested (employment concerns) government employee” and “activist (discretion requested), teacher (secondary school)”. Such ‘discretion’ comes as no surprise as many supporters could now face dismissal from work or disciplinary action.
Despite frantic legal scrabbling from the fascists, the list has now been mirrored all over the internet. The BNP is now ironically relying on the Human Rights Act, (which it opposes) to try and protect the privacy of its members.

SchNEWS politely requests its readers not to sign up unsuspecting BNP members to timeshare schemes, catalogue orders, the army etc etc

** The BNP’s conference in Blackpool last weekend was met with a 200-strong anti-fascist demonstration. After handing out leaflets along the promenade, the protesters ended up outside the salubrious facade of the New Kimberly Hotel, where, behind the floral curtains, the BNP delegates thrashed out issues like the seating arrangement and dinner menu. Police had ordered the BNP to stay out of sight and the grubby curtains of the hotel were drawn to protect the public from the ugly mugs of the BNP.
