BNP bows to pressure to admit non-white people
"The far-right British National party has agreed to change its constitution to allow non-white people to join, it emerged today.

The BNP confirmed it would consider changes to its rules and membership criteria after the Equality and Human Rights Commission launched county court proceedings against the party's leader, Nick Griffin, and two other party officials: Simon Darby and Tanya Jane Lumby.

Robin Allen QC, counsel for the commission, said Griffin had agreed to present members with a revised constitution at its general meeting next month.

He added that the party had agreed not to accept any new members until the new constitution was in place."

Now satire is really dead.

1. What non-white person would want to join the BNP anyway?

2. If it had anything approaching democracy, you could try overwhelming it with members
and changing all its policies (though you could do that with non-racist whites too). But Fuhrer Griffin still has his hands firmly on the party machinery, so, no, I don't think there's going to be any demand amongst anyone non-white to join.

3. True that
If the BNP had any true democracy, then the violent racial nationalism would be less subtle. The grass-roots of the BNP were a difficult bunch to go along with Griffin's PR overhaul, and many do not have the discipline to keep the more bigoted forms of behaviour under-wraps.

Griffin had to enforce his will on the whole BNP otherwise it would so easily reveal its true colours and throw-away any chance of electoral progress.

4. BNP to seek self-loathing ethnic minorities with very low IQs
The BNP has announced that it will amend its constitution to actively seek mentally compromised, self-loathing ethnic minorities to become part of its membership.

The move comes after it was pointed out by the UK’s equalities watchdog that discriminating its membership rules on the basis of race, religion, or mental capacity, is actually illegal.

“Fine,” said BNP leader Nick Griffin. “We’ll happily let as many retarded foreigners join as you want us to - so long as they hate the darkies too.”

“We’ve been letting pure-bred white imbeciles join us for years, so it’s only right we let the simpletons among our immigrant population join too.”

“You can never have too many morons in your ranks, I think we’ve proven that.”

Unhappy

Though many staunch BNP supporters are unhappy at the decision, Griffin has been quick to point out that the self-loathing nature of the new recruits gives them something in common with existing members.

“Remember, they hate themselves just as much as we hate them. For that, they should be applauded.”

“If you’re black - or one of those shades of brown that is a bit too dark to be from a sun-bed - and have absolutely no comprehension of the world around you, then please get in touch.”

BNP Deputy Chairman, Simon Darby, explained they were already looking to maximise the impact made by the new half-witted non-white members.

“We have several high-profile campaigns already planned for our new Asian-or-whatever members,” he told us.

“But first we expect them to patrol Bradford town centre wearing sandwich boards adorned with the slogans, “GET US OUT!” and “LETS GO HOME!”

5. I'm not sure why the EHRC
even bothered with this. Who wants to join the British Nazi Party except for thick white racists?

Then again I was surprised to see listed as BNP members many with very Irish names. The BNP would turn on them after they finish attacking those who are not white.

6. One advantage: the BNP has been forced to suspend new memberships
until it's rewritten its constitution to the satifaction of the EHRC. Whether whoever started this had that in mind, I don't know.

7. they certainly don't like Irish catholics
The BNP publicly advocate the re-annexation of the Republic of Ireland, and have strong links with loyalist paramilitaries.
