I've just received the Press Release below from an organisation called Nothing British. I know nothing about them, other than Tim Montgomerie and James Bethell are bother Conservatives. (Hell, I'd shake hands with the devil himself if I thought he'd stick his pitchfork up Griffin's rectum.)

In any event, their website is at http://www.nothingbritish.com/

THERE'S NOTHING BRITISH ABOUT THE BNP

Press release – 23.07.09 – immediate release

Equality and Human Rights Commission "letter of action" to BNP re possible breaches of race law

"There nothing British about an organisation that excludes members or staff on the ground of colour," said James Bethell of Nothing British. "The BNP's membership policy defines it as a party of racists, segregationists and bigots. A successful legal challenge would be a victory for British democratic values."

"Of course, no one likes the idea of a government-appointed quango issuing legal proceedings against a political party with democratically-elected representatives. However, for too long the BNP's membership policy has widely advertised the poisonous suggestion that it's ok to define people according to the colour of their skin. It is time to tell the BNP in simple terms that Britain doesn't tolerate racists."

Note to editors:-

1.       The BNP's membership policy is outlined in Section 2 of the BNP constitution:-

"1)    … Membership of the BNP is strictly defined within the terms of, and our members also self define themselves within, the legal ambit of a defined 'racial group' this being 'Indigenous Caucasian' and defined 'ethnic groups' emanating from that Race as specified in law in the House of Lords case of Mandla V Dowell Lee (1983) 1 ALL ER 1062, HL.

"2)    The indigenous British ethnic groups deriving from the class of 'Indigenous Caucasian' consist of members of:

i)                   The Anglo-Saxon Folk Community;

ii)                   The Celtic Scottish Folk Community;

iii)                  The Scots-Northern Irish Folk Community;

iv)                The Celtic Welsh Folk Community;

v)                  The Celtic Irish Folk Community;

vi)                The Celtic Cornish Folk Community;

vii)               The Anglo-Saxon-Celtic Folk Community;

viii)             The Celtic-Norse Folk Community;

ix)                The Anglo-Saxon-Norse Folk Community;

x)                  The Anglo-Saxon-Indigenous European Folk Community.

Members of these ethnic groups who reside either within or outside Europe but ethnically derive from them."
