BNP Men

 

Eddy Butler
Is making a leadership challenge. This has annoyed Nick Griffin.

 

This comes from a very hostile source. Searchlight is run by Jews and criminals.

Overview of the BNP, Key personalities, Party structure and BNP front groups

Key personalities

Nick Griffin

the BNP chairman with his one-eye firmly on a seat in the European Parliament lurches from disaster to disaster. Griffin seems to believe that the publication on the Internet of the entire BNP membership was "good publicity" rather than the unmitigated disaster it was for the personal security and employment prospects of party members.

Simon Darby

loyal deputy chairman with so little to do that he is also BNP press officer, West Midlands organiser, regional training organiser and personal assistant to Richard Barnbrook, the BNP Greater London Assembly member.

Mark Collett

described by Griffin as “pig ignorant” is still the BNP director of publicity despite the party claiming he had been demoted as a sop to internal pressure following the December 2007 split.

John Walker

was the national treasurer, widely seen as incompetent by members. Walker who failed to deliver the BNP’s 2006 accounts to the Electoral Commission due in July 2007, landing the party with a fine of at least £1,000 has recently been pushed aside in favour of Jenny Noble, the Trafalgar Club organiser. Rather than sacked outright he was made Excalibur despatch manager, a position he recently relinquished.

Dave Hannam

deputy treasurer described by close colleague as “crassly incompetent” he, like Collett was temporarily demoted in 2008 but is now back in his previous position. He continues to run Great White Records.

John Bean

aging editor of Identity, with a far-right record stretching back to Oswald Mosley’s Union Movement. Fawned over by Griffin.

Martin Wingfield

editor of Voice of Freedom, the BNP tabloid.

Tina Wingfield

membership secretary and former National Front directorate member.

Arthur Kemp

former apartheid intelligent agent now running Griffin’s indoctrination programme for “Voting Members”. Author of white supremacist tome "March of the Titans" which is required reading on the far right.

Mike Howson

South West regional organiser and head of the Young BNP organisation.

Martin Reynolds

BNP security chief and Griffin’s personal minder despite embarrassingly graphic photos of him engaged in sexual activity appearing on the internet.

Richard Barnbrook

Barking and Dagenham BNP councillor and hapless BNP GLA representative since May 2008. He has struggled to make any impact whatsoever since his election.

Michaela Mackenzie

nominating officer, at odds with personnel officer Robert Baggs over accusations that she is a Searchlight informer.

Robert Baggs

personnel officer who, having rejected Mackenzie’s amorous advances, now alleges she is a Searchlight spy.

Chris Beverley

Leeds BNP councillor, has close links to the nazi NPD in Germany. He was once in charge of the BNP’s Excalibur merchandising arm.

Simon Bennett

the slavishly devoted BNP webmaster who has effected a slick overhaul of the BNP's on-line presence.

Eddy Butler

elections officer who, although once a powerful figure in the “modernising” faction of the BNP, is an increasingly marginalised voice in the party.

Bob Bailey

the energetic London BNP organiser with an anger management problem.

Lee Barnes

the BNP "Legal Eagle" caught out by anti-fascist bloggers for anti-Semitic plagiarism. Even his prejudice isn't original...

Party structure

• Advisory Committee the 20-strong group acts as a rubber stamp for Griffin’s dictatorship, giving the appearance of a consultative democracy, a description that could not be further from the truth.

• Central Management Team The triumvirate of Tony Brewer, Michaela Mackenzie and Mark Clutterbuck was hastily convened in an attempt to ensure the smooth running of the party following the failure of Nick Cass, the former party manager, to get to grips with the internal disputes that threatened to tear the party apart in early 2008.

• Education and Training Department The Education and Training Department was unveiled at the BNP’s annual conference on 18 November 2007 with Steve Blake at its head. Its purpose is “to give our people all the skills needed to win”. He was almost immediately replaced by Arthur Kemp, a Rhodesia-born intelligence operative who now has complete control over the “ideological training” for the elite “voting members”, the party’s most loyal members who are trusted by Griffin to keep the BNP ideologically pure and protect it against populist factionalism and Griffin’s enemies. And Griffin should know all about factionalism. He was right at the heart of it during the 1980s when the National Front tore itself apart.

BNP front groups

Association of British Ex-Service Personnel (ABEX), fake ex-service personnel group repudiated by the British Legion, set up by the new BNP internet guru Simon Bennett to spread anti-Muslim racism among soldiers and to milk veterans for money.

Christian Council of Britain (CCB) fake religious group founded by the fake “vicar” and former Conservative councillor Robert West. The homophobic US right-wing nut “Dr” Paul Cameron recently addressed a meeting. It is virtually moribund.

Solidarity BNP trade union front group run by Patrick Harrington, the leader of the minuscule Third Way organisation. It's presence is suspended BNP teacher Adam Walker. Also involved is his brother Mark Walker, another disgraced BNP teacher. Solidarity spearheaded the effort to get the brothers reinstated.

Civil Liberty operated by Kevin Scott supposedly to campaign for BNP members whose fascist activism has jeopardised their jobs, although there is little sign of life in the organisation.

Land and People BNP environmental front operated by Dorset BNP members which campaigns against Muslims and Jews while pretending to be concerned with animal welfare.

HOPE not hate is Searchlight's campaign to counter racism and fascism in elections and beyond. Over the past few years the British National Party has seriously contested council elections all over the country but still only has 57 councillors. The two BNP MEPs elected in June 2009 have brought the party financial benefit in the form of their salaries and staffing and expenses allowances, as well as an opportunity for Nick Griffin, the BNP leader, further to develop his links with other European fascist parties and strut around on an international stage. However without the HOPE not hate campaign, the BNP would undoubtedly have had more MEPs and many more local councillors elected. Now the BNP is threatening to gain a majority on Barking and Dagenham council, in east London, and Griffin is trying to become MP for Barking. The party is also faced with defending 30 of its council seats in 2010, which gives anti-fascists an opportunity to oust them. At Searchlight we want to make sure that people know the full story about who the BNP are and what they really stand for.
The HOPE not hate website aims to do just that, serving the anti-fascist movement and providing up to date news, good practice and analysis.
