Despite orders to portray themselves as a respectable party in the run-up to this week's elections, one candidate wrote a chilling warning to immigrants, "Speak English or die," on his Facebook page.
The rantings from Gary Aronsson-who is BNP leader Nick Griffin's running mate for the European Parliament in the North-West-even included the grim Nazi SS death's head symbol.
Party legal officer Lee Barnes posted a video of US cops beating a black suspect, describing it as "brilliant". And senior election organiser Jeffrey Marshall wrote vicious comments about the death of Tory leader David Cameron's disabled son.
When challenged that his views made him either a Nazi or a Marxist, he replied: "Nazi for preference".
West Midlands Euro candidate Russ Green said ethnic minorities must never be let into the BNP.
And one key party figure posted on his blog a report of a teenager's fatal stabbing in East London, adding: "Another teen stabbed in c**n town."
Another wrote: "What's good enough for Hitler's good enough for me."
The revelations will infuriate leader Griffin who instructed members not to express extreme views.
Anti-racist campaign group Searchlight said: "They have tried to hide their agenda of racism and hate and failed."
A BNP spokesman said: "We will investigate these accusations."

It's such a shame that the British people are such morons, they are beinf exterminated by their own leaders and they can't see it.
How come there are no links so we can check out this story NOTW.

I thoroughly agree with the earlier comment
BNP - Bloody Nasty People to which I add the KLu Klux Klan revived.
They should not be allowed to represent us in Europe.

Ok donna so a party who has one of their propaganda leaders like Mark Collette saying how much he admired adolf Hitler on tape would never say such things.
The lying evil Jew bear monsters in the press must have made him say it.

" I have a simple antidote for the BNP - let every single member and supporter show that their heritage is 100% British going back at least 500years. "
Hahahahahaha! That is the funniest thing I've read in ages!!
Indeed I agree with you. So many people, English people included, assume they are "pure" when their grandparent 6+ generations previously may be African.
"Passing" (when a person pretends to be what they are not) i.e a pale-skinned person of mixed heritage pretending to be all-white happened more frequently back in the days than any of us will ever know.
So when the BNP shout and holler for all "racial foreigners" to leave Britain, the majority of them might find themselves also having to pack their bags!

As a muslim who is born and bred in this country, this type of behaviour is unacceptable. How on earth is this party allowed to even have a vote? Racism will always exist no matter what the media says or what the government does to try and kick it out. there will always be a moron who will say the P work or N word to an Asian/African person.
I also think though if the media never took any notice then this party would get extinct. Its a bit like the muslim preachers who are preaching about terrorism. If you dont pay them any attention they will go back to their own countries.
yes we have a right to know what they are doing, but come on do we honestly have to know whether they are claiming benefits fairly or unfairly, there is so much more important news to discuss.

why are these moronic prats allowed to congregate and discuss their hate for 'foreigners' whilst disgusing themselves as a 'political party'?
ah well,im just glad this country will never be run by dumb idiotic nazis,who deny the holocaust and claim there is no such thing as rape,will never run this country

the most ironic thing is every time i see BNP supporters spewing their hate online, it is littered with grammatical errors and basic spelling mistakes. opponents (either ethnic or liberal whites) are on the whole pretty articulate in their responses. their big meet-up last year had workshops to teach members how to write english. nothing but THICK RACIST HYPOCRITE THUGS

BNP - Bloody Nasty People

What does anyone expect when Nick Griffin denies the Holocaust took place and was convicted of inciting racial hatred. There is no place in British politics for such offensive views.

This is typical of the BNP as behind their modern day respectability and despite them officially saying they are not racists. They are pure racists and fascists and always will be. The BNP should be honest about it and say so but they're not.
They're trying to con british people in to voting for them in the same way the Nazis conned the German public in the 1930s.
For the last 6-12 months the BNP have been using internet forums and social websites like facebook a lot to try and gain support. From time to time some of their members show their true colours.
When it comes to politics the UK press are free to do what they want. Its 2009 and the press don't print lies or half truths about people who will govern us. 3 weeks ago it was the UK press who told us about MPs expenses and this also came before an election.
They didn't do this for any political gain (as all MPs are effected) they did it as they felt the public had to be told.
Well done News of the World for telling people the truth.

I have a simple antidote for the BNP - let every single member and supporter show that their heritage is 100% British going back at least 500years.
If they can't do that then they are clearly the "foreigners" they hate so much.
Secondly, immigration to the UK is now dropping as fast as our economy - what use the BNP now?
Finally - anyone remember a TV series called Auf Weidersehn Pet? Back in the 80s and 90s tens of 1000s of British workers worked in Germany, pricing local workers out of the jobs market. In a typically British way we take the benefits but dont want to pay the price.
Time for all of us to GROW UP.

It really is amazing that just before any election in this Country, the mainstream press are prepared to quote statements, as unquestionable fact - from Communist organisations such as Searchlight and A.F.A., - as if these groupings were now some sort of paragons of holy virtue, enlightening the public with unquestionable truths.
These groupings couldn't lie straight in bed! - So for Jamie Lyons to have the barefaced audacity to give us this kind of "Alleged journalism" really is beyond the pale.
I'm no great fan of the B.N.P. as they're peddlers of hate, but the News of the world seems to be quite content to get into bed with the haters, of the peddlers of hate.
Thus, and for the first time in my life, I have a certain sympathy with a B.N.P. claim, that the mainstream press in Britain are utter liars.

The fact of the matter is anyone can open a facebook account and pretend they're someone else, this is just what the BNP political opponents would do to frame them, i could open a facebook tomorrow saying i'm the Queen.
