In short:
Serving and former police officers, teachers and soldiers are listed as members of the British National Party in a leaked document published online. On the list, which dates from 2007, are 10,000 people with their names, addresses, jobs and phone numbers. The leader of the BNP, Nick Griffin, accuses former members to have published the list. He stated that his party is going to use the Human Rights Act to try to protect the identities of its members, despite the party being against the European legislation. On the other hand, he was happy with the media interest, and that everyone could see that they also have average citizens as members.
What does René think about this:
When I read these kind of articles, I am happy that someone did publish ‘secret’ information of a party that is so extreme in its believes against foreigners. It is almost funny to read that they are going to make use of the Human Rights although they are against these kind of supranational agreements. Also the fact that he is happy with the media attention on the other hand, makes me think this guy is stupid. I am not familiar with the party that he is leading, but it makes me think of the party that the guy with the nice haircut is running over here in the Netherlands.
