BNP forced to welcome non-white members

The far-right party agreed to change its constitution after the Equality and Human Rights Commission issued County Court proceedings over concerns its membership criteria were restrictive to those within certain ethnic groups.

Robin Allen QC, counsel for the Commission, said party leader Nick Griffin had agreed to present party 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.

In an order issued at the Central London County Court, the BNP agreed to use "all reasonable endeavours" to revise its constitution so it does not breach the Equality Bill by discriminating on the grounds of race, gender and religious belief.

John Wadham, of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said: "We are pleased the party has conceded this case and agreed to all of the Commission requirements. Political parties, like any other organisation, are obliged to respect the law and not discriminate against people."

He added: "It is unfortunate the BNP spent several months before conceding and dealing properly with our legal requirements.

"We will be monitoring the BNP's compliance with this court order on membership, and its other legal obligations, including to its constituents."

Should be interesting.

Luckily they'll have no trouble finding far right racists, regardless of race!

He said that Christians and muslims and most people thought homosexuality was "creepy" to which the church of england told him to f*** off. He said that Winston Churchill would have been a BNP member and that the armed forces supported him, to which the army told him to f*** off.

He said that the Koo Klux Clan were non-violent and that London was no longer a British city and that it had been ethnically cleansed of white people.

As a non white this sickens me.
