BTW - this is the same Cllr Golding, who was elected in February, and, commenting on the video of the burning of a Gollywog at Codnor, said the views of the people involved in the mock trial were not 'representative of' the BNP.

He said: "If you subtract these morons from our 13,000 members it is something like 0.01 per cent of the party."

Despite claims that BNP members at the festival at Codnor gave Nazi-style salutes and shouted Sieg Heil, and music with racist lyrics supporting Hitler was played, Cllr Golding said he was at the festival but was not aware of the racist activity, and he says the party 'is not racist.'

Cllr Golding also says the BNP is for white British people, so there would be no reason for non-whites to join other than to cause trouble within the party.
