1)The British National Party represents the collective National, Environmental, Political, Racial, Folkish, Social, Cultural, Religious and Economic interests of the indigenous Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and Norse folk communities of Britain and those we regard as closely related and ethnically assimilated or assimilable aboriginal members of the European race also resident in Britain. Membership of the BNP is strictly defined within the terms of, and our members also self define themselves within, the legal ambit of a defined ‘racial group’ this being ‘Indigenous Caucasian’ and defined ‘ethnic groups’ emanating from that Race as specified in law in the House of Lords case of
Mandla_v_Dowell-Lee (1983) 1 ALL ER 1062, HL. 2)The indigenous British ethnic groups deriving from the class of ‘Indigenous Caucasian’ consist of members of: i) The Anglo-Saxon Folk Community; ii) The Celtic Scottish Folk Community; iii) The Scots-Northern Irish Folk Community; iv) The Celtic Welsh Folk Community; v) The Celtic Irish Folk Community; vi) The Celtic Cornish Folk Community; vii) The Anglo-Saxon-Celtic Folk Community; viii) The Celtic-Norse Folk Community; ix) The Anglo-Saxon-Norse Folk Community; x) The Anglo-Saxon-Indigenous European Folk Community; xi) Members of these ethnic groups who reside either within or outside Europe but ethnically derive from them.

message: I have repeatedly tried to add this quotation to the article, and had it removed - I think it balances  the article. If you disagree, please explain
In 2008 Ruth Smeed, of the Board of Deputies, stated that "The BNP website is now one of the most Zionist on the web - it goes further than any of the mainstream parties in its support of Israel and at the same time demonises Islam and the Muslim world. They are actively campaigning in Jewish communities, particularly in London, making a lot of their one Jewish councillor, their support of Israel and attacking Muslims. It is a poisonous campaign but it shows a growing electoral sophistication."http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/apr/10/thefarright.race93.96.148.42 (talk) 07:54, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Richardson's comment to the media that "Firebombing is not a British method. A brick through the window is a British method." is significantly more important than the (false) allegations of abduction and firebombing. The details of the allegations are actually of no relevance to this article at all (they might be if they had been proved, but even that is debatable if Richardson was not involved). What is important is that with the removal of the allegation the only parts of the original report that have any relevance to this article are the BNP's anti-mosque activity in the area and Richardson's appalling response when asked about the allegations by The Guardian. That the allegations may be false and have been reported as such is irrelevant. She made her statement on the record and we must conclude it accurately reflects her views and, by implication, the attitudes of BNP members generally. You cannot conceive of a leading Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem politician making such a statement; it belongs here and I have reinstated it as well as rephrasing the whole paragraph to remove excessive information. (In effect, restricting the story to Richardson rather than the sad man who made the false allegations.) 
Incidentally, the articles from The Sun and The Guardian do NOT say that he has been charged with "conspiracy to pervert the course of justice". They both agree that he has been "questioned" on "suspicion of perverting the course of justice". They make no mention of any conspiracy. Neither, actually, do they say that the abduction and firebombing did not happen. Let's be accurate.Emeraude (talk) 12:23, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
