BNP faces challenge in equality legislation
This is not good. Not good at all.
Is it only me having a bad feeling about this ...
The far-right British National Party's membership rules will be made illegal under the Government's new Equalities Bill, a cabinet minister has revealed.
Harriet Harman, the Commons leader and Labour deputy leader, spoke of her "shock and horror" that the North West was being represented in the European Parliament by BNP leader Nick Griffin.
However, she pledged that new legislation would make it illegal to have a whites-only political party in the UK.
Under the BNP's constitution, membership is "strictly defined" as "indigenous Caucasian".
In the Equality Bill passing through this House, that constitution will be unlawful."
This is not good. Not good at all.
