BNP film in probe

POLICE are probing the burning of a golly doll at a BNP festival following a News of the World undercover investigation.

Detectives are studying our secret film of BNP politicians urging a girl of 12 to set the toy alight at their Red, White and Blue "family festival"

Derbyshire Police said: "We have launched an investigation to establish whether there have been offences of a racially motivated nature."

We told last week how BNP council candidate John Coombes, 45, passed "sentence" on the golly for "being black".

PERSONALLY, I BELIEVE THESE STORIES ABOUT THE BNP ARE BEING MADE UP...THE POLICE, LABOUR, TORIES AND SO ON ARE RUNNING SCARED BECAUSE THE PEOPLE IN FAVOUR FOR BNP IS GROWING. SO ANY CRAP WILL BE PUBLISED TO MAKE PEOPLE HATE THE BNP!

Racism is against the law and IS a criminal offense.

The golly is a doll but to BNP supporters it also represents a black person, encouraging a child to burn a black doll and to be racist should not be allowed.

The BNP are racists and no amount of reforms will ever change their vile racist attitude. No one in their right mind would ever trust them to run our country.

As far a i can see there has been no crime committed and the police are wasting their time by investigating the incident.

Burning a doll is not against the law and neither is holding a mock trial, and execution of a doll for any reason.

The goings on reported by the NOTW are shocking and disturbing. They show that the BNP still has a lot of reform and modernisation to go through before we (the public) could even consider give them control of our country.

I am glad this is being investigated. This young girl is being exposed and encouraged to the worst type of racism and it needs to stop.
How long before it will be a breathing person and not a doll?

What can the police hope to gain from this story except making themselveslook more stupid than they already are. Go catch a criminal. Get a life

Good for the Police.
This was offensive and to involve a child in this beggars belief.
Well done News of the World.

Have the Derbyshire Police nothing better to
do with their time - like investigating REAL
crimes? Is burning a doll now a crime!?
What politically correct claptrap!

Police are investigating the burning of a doll?

Is this a joke?

The country would be a safer place if they spent their time catching criminals instead.

Good, well done News of the World for exposing such racism and well done to the Police for investigating this.

I hope you stop these racists.
