Anyone thinking of joining a political party should carry out thorough research before sending off their subscriptions. I would have thought that a person of Rev Stanton's experience would have been aware of this simple expediency. His comments about the BNP being anti-semitic and homophobic are totally inaccurate and tend to indicate his lack of knowledge of the Party's policies. The BNP has a Jewish Councillor and Jewish members. In relation to a whether a member prefers opposite or same sex partners, the Party's view is "Don't ask; don't tell". How Rev Stanton got the impression that we would welcome a West African to our shores (irrespective as to whether he adopted British values or not), when we as a Party openly state that we oppose any further immigration into the UK, would tend to indicate the Reverend's confusion over and failure to understand the ideology of the BNP. As he now seems to have almost run the gamut of most political parties, perhaps he should set up one of his own!

no, no! of course the BNP aren't racist, sexist, homophobic, islamophobic, xenophobic, arrogant, ignorant, benighted, bigoted, hypocritical, anti semantic, fascist vermin...

what planet does Tony Brewer, Sussex live on as it's clearly not this one!

It has to be remembered that the BNP loathes Christianity, so it’s highly strange that Rev John Stanton joined the BNP in the first place. Below are example of just some of the BNP’s real opinions on and repudiation of Christianity.

John Tyndall, the BNP’s founder, in his September 2003 article, 'Some Definitions: A sample from the Politically Aware Vocabulary series', wrote:

"What passes for Christianity in this country today can only be described as superstitious sociology; a bland doctrine of welfare-mongering with guilt, humility and self-abasement as its cardinal principles. We can only have contempt for a Church which, in the name of Christianity, facilitates the Islamic occupation of whole neighbourhoods, condones homosexuality, promotes multi-racialism and will forgive everything.

Our race is our religion, and the nation is our church".

Source: Spearhead magazine (edited by John Tyndall).

Then Lee Barnes, the BNP’s legal officer, posting under the name ‘Vader’, stated on the neo-nazi Stormfront forum in April 2003:

"The church is a nest of faggots and apostates.

"They use Christ to promote an agenda of communism.

"The Christian Church has become a homosexual death cult infiltrated by pederasts."

Most recently, Lee Barnes in his article, 'The Werewolf Complex'(5 February 2008), goes to the extent of calling Christianity an “alien religion” forced upon Britain and blames Christianity for both the World Wars, communism and consumerism! Here are Lee Barnes thoughts on Christianity from the article:

“Whilst Christianity has seen its own traditions of violence from the Warrior Knight Tradition, the Crusades, The Inquisition, Two World Wars and also spawned Fascism, Communism and Consumerism”

“The idea that the basis of violence is such a fragile Norse meme is absurd, and ignores the reality of the violence inherent in the Judeo-Christian traditions of Judaism, Christianity”

“To deny the theological and actual historical violence of the Semitic religions as a factor in the violence of Western Society is simply logically unsustainable, especially when Christianity dominates the culture of the West.”

“I, along with Rudgeley, assert that it is the centuries long brutal surpression of our ancestral cultures that have been repressed by Christianity and liberalism, that have caused the organic and spiritual crisis in Western Man and that it today springs forth as violence.”

"Nearly a thousand years of the Judeo-Christian extirpation of the indigenous pagan religious traditions of Europe, and the attempt to impose an alien religion with its alien archetypes, has created the spiritual, social and cultural crisis in Western Man.”

To Tony Brewer (who is the chairman of BNP's Central Management Team), the BNP founder and leader John Tyndall said that the BNP should not have Jewish members in his article ‘Do We Need Jewish Candidates?:
John Tyndall addresses a vexed issue’:

“When all this is said, the BNP should, so long as it is legally permissible, exclude Jews from membership, and in any event should not appoint Jews to positions in the party nor select them as candidates for elections. They would not do it for us, and there is no reason why we should do it for them.”

Ah, I see the Echo has had the misfortune to experience an infestation by the "razor sharp" minds and serial trolling posters of Urinate Against Freedom (otherwise, but mistakenly, known as "Unite Against Fascism")!
Not being terribly bright (or up to date) when it comes to political commentary, they refer to the writings of John Tyndall on Christianity and whether Jewish members should be allowed into the BNP. In the interests of accuracy, it should be pointed out that Tyndall was replaced as Chairman of the BNP in 1999 and he, in fact, died in July 2005! His personal views on Christianity and Jewish members has absolutely no relevance in todays modernised British National Party.
As far as Lee Barnes is concerned, his personal views are his own and nothing to do with the Party - which is exactly as it should be!
Just to repeat my previous comments (for the benefit of the intellectually challenged "anti-fash" elements who may read this) WE HAVE JEWISH MEMBERS AND AT LEAST ONE JEWISH COUNCILLOR. Attempting to deceive unsuspecting members of the public, by pretending that the BNP is anti-semitic is the classic hallmark of the totally discredited red-fascists that lurk within the irrelevant and anti-democratic UAF/Searchlight cabal

To Tony Brewer of the BNP:

Why was the current BNP leader Nick Griffin prosecuted for writing anti-Jewish articles? In issue 12 of the BNP publication ‘The Rune’ Nick Griffin called the Holocaust "the Holohoax" and criticised the Holocaust denier David Irving for admitting in an interview that up to four million Jews might have died in the Holocaust. Nick Griffin wrote: "True Revisionists will not be fooled by this new twist to the sorry tale of the Hoax of the Twentieth Century."

Then Nick Griffin told an undercover journalist that he had updated Richard Verrall's Holocaust denial book ‘Did Six Million Really Die?’.

Nick Griffin also described his former MP, Alex Carlile, QC, who had reported ‘The Rune’ to the police, as "this bloody Jew... whose only claim is that his grandparents died in the Holocaust”.

In his defence during his prosecution for the above anti-Jewish writings, Nick Griffin said: "I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that six million Jews were gassed and cremated and turned into lampshades. Orthodox opinion also once held that the world is flat ... I have reached the conclusion that the 'extermination' tale is a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda, extremely profitable lie, and latter witch-hysteria”.

Nick Griffin and The BNP is all we have Please read the book by Ashley Mote -I MEP . Now Racism THE pope was once a member of the Hitler Youth Now the most revered man in the world.Did any one vote for the Muslim council of great Britain Now thats racism think on it!!Blair took the country into war He is now out of it doing very well , THAT men all the labor party are war mongers/they practice every vile vice known to man. Isnt that nasty Yet you people ay nothing but a man saying it as it is you throw stones at him //SICK sick Sick

Sorry Terence but you are just another BNP fanatic - seems you conveniently overlooked the racist convictions your Führer Nick Griffin has. If anything, it is you who is SICK sick sick.

Interesting statement by BNP leader Nick Griffin:

""Further, I am not a British Nationalist. I am first and foremost a White Racialist, and second a Welsh Nationalist" (Nick Griffin in letter to John Tyndall, November 14th 1994)

Old news.
I am no racist or BNP member but I appreciate the fact that at least one political party isn't ashamed of our country, our flag and our culture. To be a Christian is to respect one's culture and one's own country, as well as that of others.
As a Christian myself, I see that many who call themselves 'Christians' don't stick to Biblical principles and have lost their focus on the Lord Jesus and their relationship with Him. This 'falling away'is actually predicted in the Bible and sadly gives people a false idea of Christianity and the Church. No Christian should hate anyone else, though I don't think it's wrong to love your country. It's normal!

Ricayboy, anyone reflecting on the true meaning of the parable of the Good Samaritan will see whether the BNP's views are really compatible with Christian teaching.

I don't think any political party is ashamed of British culture, that's an absurd myth. However, the BNP claim that one 'race' is inherently superior to another, that is totally un-Christian sentiment.
