Thread Name: BS: Legal action over BNP membership
Subject: RE: BS: Legal action over BNP membership
Emma B. "However, a woman named Helen Colclough, of the same address as Helen Forster, was registered as a member and activist for the BNP. Last week a Kent Police spokeswoman confirmed that Helen Forster and Helen Colclough are, in fact, the same person."

A lot of BNP members use false names. The fact that the BNP denied this person's membership, and appear not to have expelled her, shows the sort of scum we're dealing with.

Peace. "..... a professor in California who argued that there WERE racial characteristics."

A number of social psychologists, of whom Eysenck was probably the leader, have argued in favour of differing intelligence levels between different races. But of course social psychology and social anthropology are two contrasting disciplines.

I confess I know next to nothing about social psychology, so I can't comment on their methods or findings. However, I do recall that other social scientists were extremely sceptical, regarding the work of Eysenck and co. as biased and ethnocentric. EG., their use of "Western European" IQ tests on kids who didn't come from Western Europe.

Can anybody else throw some more light on this?
