Topic: BNP forced to accept non-white members

[Diabolico]

BNP leader Nick Griffin has agreed to ask his party to amend its constitution so it does not discriminate on grounds of race or religion, a court heard.

The UK's equalities watchdog had argued the BNP broke the Race Relations Act by restricting members to "indigenous Caucasian" people.

The court heard Mr Griffin had agreed to use "all reasonable endeavours" to revise its constitution.

BNP members will be asked to agree to the changes at a meeting in November.

Mr Griffin was not at the hearing at Central London County Court on Thursday morning.

The British National Party has been forced to change its membership rules to allow people of different races and religions to join.

The far-right party agreed to change its constitution after the Equality and Human Rights Commission issued County Court proceedings over concerns its membership criteria were restrictive to those within certain ethnic groups.

Robin Allen QC, counsel for the Commission, said party leader Nick Griffin had agreed to present party members with a revised constitution at its general meeting next month.

He added that the party had agreed not to accept any new members until the new constitution was in place.

xD imagine when new policies are put in place, or when leader Nick Griffin comes out with some hate speech.

They maybe forced to take Caucasian members but reality could be different.

And this is far from over.

Yeah, the BNP are biding their time.

I can't want to see the news coverage when the BNP has it's first black member!

[smokester]

I think they even disallowed Muslim members who of course could be white.

All that they have been asked to do is abide by the law, because that old Race relation act stipulates that you cannot not be a political party if you exempt people on account of colour, race or religion.

Officially they might take members that they don't like,but trying to go their meetings etc. isn't very funny situation.

[Geemonster]

Actually there are already black and Asian members,the government didn't want you to know that.
  I've spoken to one of them 2 yrs ago.
Propaganda!

[chekovsulu]

If that is true, then I suppose by advertising this the BNP risks losing the NF votes

[Geemonster]

Everything in politics is misdirection mate.
We could run this country better than those wallies in parliament right now.

[Diabolico]

There is one thing that gets me, what's behind this? There are groups that allow specific ethnic groups, but seemly don't get challenged. This could get twisted.

Ditto and I want to see a group photograph including the new member.

I think their constitution will be updated with something on the lines of disallowing people who they don't like or want to join. If the BNP made any non-white member (if that's the right way of putting it) fell unwelcome, some action would take place.

When I read your first reply a few times, one way I took it was if it was the other way around.

  I've spoken to one of them 2 yrs ago.

Didn't know that.

Propaganda!

So? It isn't like the BNP are clean. The government wouldn't defend the BNP, the BNP haven't stated that. So the question is why hasn't that been stated?

[Geemonster]

Im no politician mate,to be honest,the sooner im out of here the better.
  My business plan's being put into action starting Monday.

We seen soon how things going and how much poo flies when it hits the fan.

[smokester]

To join any political party you must believe in their manifesto, which is a bit oxymoronic in this case as very few of the people involved with the BNP can actually read.  But it does mean that the members of society that they now have to grant membership, are exactly the same people that would oppose their manifesto wholeheartedly.

[Geemonster]

I believe in proportional representation,or autonomy for each town county etc.

[Robin-Graves]

Good luck on that happening bro

In the states,, several states have declared autonomy, and when they did, the Federal Govornment, squashed more rights we have in the Constitution.
God forbid anyone does anythng that we  have the rights to do.

What ever happenedto people just being allowed to live and be happy?
I guess the answer to that question is simple.
We created a monster to makedecisions for us, and look at where we are.
A monster is a monster, no matter what you call it.

Military-Industrial complex.

I wonder what BNP inner circle think now,it could be something dark and treacherous.

[Robin-Graves]

Think what any powerfull society that is exclusive would do.

[Geemonster]

Stop this globe i want off please?

[Robin-Graves]

No G,, thats the problem.
People allways want to leave or just hide their heads in the sand when these things happen. And then when it gets really bad they want to point fingers.
When the truth of the matter is that both sides are to blame.
Which stages the question: who is more to blame? The criminal or the people that stand by and let things happen?
 Being from America I know I have alot of room to talk ( dealing with the Bush /Cheney regime).
But we  have been beaten down so much and brainwashed into believng that nothing can be done.
Its like beating a dog till its spirit is broken.
There is allways something that can be done,, or at least influenced to a degree.
The UK is still a free country,unlike the US where if you voice your opinion and your branded a potential terrorist ( thank you Mr Cheney)
Pepper Keenan from Corosion Of Conformity said it best on Blind ( the album that was banned for a short time during the Clinton years for the song Vote With A Bullet): Its condition A or Condition B, Your either a part of the solution or part of the problem. You have to decide who and what you are.
  Very true words.
There is NOTHING wrong with the world that cant be fixed by doing whats right....You just have to decide if you have the initiative or the bravery to fix what needs fixing, and have the forsight and wisdom to know what isnt broken.

[Geemonster]

Can't do it on my own.
Im quarter French,now they don't take any poo ,they'll kick off,but English people take it up the tailpipe with a grimace and do nothing.
  That pisses me off.
  Vive La Revolution!  We need one.

[Robin-Graves]

Revolution is what keeps a society fresh.
America was based on the potential of a revolution at anytime if the govornment took too much away from us,,hence our gun toting society.
But,, they got sneaky, they took away our rights with 911,, then quit teaching our bill of rights and constitution in shool,, then branded everyone with a voice as a potential terrorist.
They have us watching each other like hawks.
BUT,, there are still those that do the right thing.
No man,, one voice means little,, but that one voice can and WILL become two,, then four,, and then before its over,, you have an entire faction.
Most people just need to be nudged a little in the right direction.
Its like the sick man said, he didnt know he was sick till he started feeling better.
Same thing here mate,, same thing.
