Hilarious story in the Western Mail.

One element of the BNP's defence against race relations legislation is that its constitution doesn't actually bar non-whites - it's a party for " persons of a particular racial group defined otherwise than by reference to colour", to use the language of the 1976 Act.

Here's Nick Griffin on Channel Four News: "Our legal counsel says that it is very clear that we are a Section 25/ Section 26 exempted organisation because we are here for specific ethnic groups.

"It is nothing to do with 'white'. We are really talking here about the English, the Scots, the Irish and the Welsh, collectively the people who are ethnically British."

He was asked if that meant a Black Welshman could join, to which he replied:

"There is no such thing as a black Welshman. You can have a black Briton; you can't have a black Welshman."

Nothing to do with 'white', eh? Really, the BNP couldn't have a better leader.
