The entire BNP list has been published on the web – the list was originally published on blogger at bnpmemberslist.blogspot.com, but has since been removed. However the list has since been posted on Wikileaks.

The list consists of around 12,500 entries, listing name, address, home and mobile phone numbers and email addresses, some occupations are listed, revealing a small number of police officers and school teachers.

The BNP’s leader, Nick Griffin, confirmed on the party’s website that much of the list was genuine, and that it contained data that was stored at some point between November 30 and December 2 2007. Source: The Guardian

Well it leaves me in two minds, it’s difficult to have any sympathy for these racists – these are evil people, and there’s no-way they should be employed as police officers or teachers – in fact it’s illegal to be a member of the BNP and a serving police office, so a few more racists rooted out of the police force, thankfully. However, I’m not sure, we really want anybody posting our private details on the web, what if someone took exception to some bodies membership of the Conservatives – I mean I find it pretty offensive, however I don’t think I should be allowed to publish their details on the web.

Still it’s pretty depressing to find that the Green Candidate for the last General election in a town nearby where I live is also a member of the BNP, still why should we think Greens can’t be racists?
