Glancing every now and then at the list. Haven't had time as yet to publish any of it. Will do tomorrow.
The response of the left to this little story has been a bit disappointing. Too much caring about the law and the private lives of BNP scum. If the latter get their windows boshed in - well it's money for the glaziers isn't it - look on the brigt side. Imagine if the emergency window fixer was an 'Asian'. What would the poor BNP nonce do then I wonder?

Brown rides again
There's talk in the British press, still, about the Lazarus-like comeback of the once dead British PM. After his brilliant work handling the crisis (what , has it gone away?) and drafting in the twice disgraced Peter Mandleson into his doomed regime, his chancellor is about to undertake one of the biggest u-turns in recent British political history. The government is about to cut VAT by two percent and introduce spending measures (though not in the public sector) to spend their way out of recession. The Observer breathlessly ejaculates the whole boring tale.
After eleven wasted years the government finally wakes up to the calls for injections of cash the other way than to the pampered idle rich - whose representatives have caused this immense disaster in the first place. ('Though in defence of the consistency of New Labour's policies, the poor will not do well out of this desperate splurge). Yet it takes a crisis as big as the 1930's for them to actually do something. Clearly, as we will all find out, these measures won't make any difference. Further, they don't get to the root of the problem - which has been that for three decades, the earning power of the working class has been in absolute decline compared to wealth givento/stolen by capital. It is this, and the classic crisis of overproduction (all those useless gadgets from China) that have caused the slump. (Economics is only a dismal science because it has to be dressed up by dickheads like Freidman and the other Chicago wansksters into something that requires computers and PhD's in advanced mathematics to "understand" what's supposed to be going on).
It is the pressure on wages that have made housing THE problem for millions of people around the world. Unable to afford a decent place to live, the choice was stark. Either sign up to a liar loan and hope for the best or fuck off somewhere else. Believe me, I saw it in Southern England a few years ago and the figures are all there naked in the breeze. Fearing some calamity or other, I chose the latter option. Millions had no other choice and autographed the bottom of the page. It's no use blaming them for this train crash, as some commentators have done. With the entire system rigged against us, this Hobson's choice, that was so cynically thrown our way, helped in a big way to make the depression happen. That, of course, and the pointless politicians who made all the failed and bankrupt decisions in the past thirty years or so.
Go on strike, take to the streets and take on the state - or we all go down.

Brutal logic of an inhuman system
Is there a link between material conditions and likelihood of breaking the law. Decents don't like to think so - we are born evil or good, we have free choice, we are rational beings and all that two dimensional cartoon thinking - the real insights come from within the system itself. For it is here, really, that all questions concerning freedom and determinacy begin and end. The lower orders are bound to break the law at some point, the upper class judges are, likewise, destined to convict them.
" And one leading academic told me: "We are likely to see rates of imprisonment rise as unemployment rises. "Courts tend to favour custodial sentences because unemployment [sic] people will have more free time and therefore be more inclined to commit further offences."
(Presumably, the paper meant to say "unemployed" people). So, if you commit a crime and you have a job, you have a fairish chance of escaping jail. If you're unemployed, then your freedom from wrok is held against you. The idea that the more free time you have 'inclines' you to commit crime is an academic sleight of hand. These academics are the state's jokers in suits. This 'leading (leading!) academic's interpretation simply leaves the courts prejudice unexamined. Faced with an upper class lounger abouter caught with his knob in the jam - the courts would take his fortune into account, be duly influenced by his lizardy lawyer and dismiss the case.
(Pure speculation on my part, of course, but from years of experience - come on are you seriously doubting it?). The courts do not assess someone's free time and multiply it by the nature of the offence and divide by six. They give their anti-poor prejudices free reign.
The fear this article expresses is that the looming slump will cause people to act more 'dishonestly' - there will be more robberies, bulgalries and heists and so on. Of course, the people who write about these developments won't be affected. The leading academics, judges and journalists will be safely cocooned in their gated communities enjoying their free time to be all that concerned.
And, obviously, all around us, every day, in the ether that transmits the digital information, deep within the cables that send the billion billions of ones and noughts of computer money language back and forth and the unseen wavelengths of profit and loss that speed across contients - the biggest 'dishonesty' crime of them all - described as a bailout then excised from the media domain - comes to save us all.

Expulsion
What would be the BNP position on the deportation - no say it like it is - expulsion of 54 Afghan ex-pats from Britain and France back to their homeland? By accounts in L'Humanité the British ethnic cleansing went off all boots and handcuffs and the asylum seekers are now safe and happy back in down town Kabul. The French part of te deal, the Anglo-French operation was meant to be a coordinated effort to cleanse these chaps altogether, fell through because of concerted action by groups helping immigrants/ex-pats over here in France.
The, frankly, racist Minister for Immigration was forced to concede that since the United Nations Commission for Human Rights had stipulated that the conditions in Afghanistan were so far from safe (like, no shit!) that he and the French government would not countenance such a barbaric act. That's quite something coming from this minister. He's got an expulsion target of 29000 to reach.
The BNP position on this is shamefully, pretty much the same as the British Government's. In effect, both support the deaths of these people, whose only crime is to wish to stay alive and live a half-decent life. That's right. Because the fate of the returnees is horrendous. Twenty Afghans were expelled in similar brutal fashion from Australia (surely a country that can't really say 'There's no room for you guys!' like the other dumb cleansers love to mouth) back to Afghanistan, where they were found ten days later - tortured and dead.
So it would be more honest, if the British Government simply executed these ex-pats on the spot. From an efficiency argument it make sperfect sense, cuts down all that tense waiting and ferrying people about too and saves on aviation fuel in these difficult economic times. Course, given all the cowardly whinging and whining about the BNP membership list ("OOW snot fair! I'm on the list. I'm soo scared that I might lose my job!") they wouldn't dare express their deepest political desires to do that very thing. Plus, give the British regime enough time and it will regretfully be forced into taking what some on the wishy washy left may consider to be anti-humanitarian measures, but that on deeper reflection are necessary in order to counter the growth of the BNP.
Which only has 12000 members or so. And which has no real political force. It has no economic grounding, no union base and no concentrated area of support. Its membership is disperate, geographically and socially and it can only win when it garners all its force in single areas where it feels it can stoke up racial hatred. The race card is the only one it can play. But it will continue to do better than its measly support base would suggest until the government stops acting to outdo it on the right. For when a Labout government...a Labour Government! ... acts more to the right than the French UMP, then democratic representation is truly extinct in Britain. Somebody do something. It is a regime asking for it.
Language and exclusion
It can't be a coincidence that the British (and the European I guess) who move abroad are termed 'ex-pats', whilst people fleeing persecution, economic despair and war who end up in the UK are called 'immigrants'.
Next time you see the word 'immigrant', subsitute it with 'ex-pat'. Suddenly, the individual is reconceived.

BNP membership list
To those readers in Nottingham, Burnley and London who have just dropped by "Hello". I say this, because no one in the UK reads my site, as a rule. But by coincidence, just after mentioning the BNP thing, there's a sudden spike of interest in my incisive views on contemporary politics, society and economics from this green and pleasant land. Yes, I will be publishing the list quite soon, in installments.
I have been informed that for some reason, doing so is somehow against the law; Well, one thing - the idea of the a besuited BNP official going crying to the law given what their party is, makes my want to simultaneously laugh, cry and vomit. They say they've changed, but apart from the "don't come to the meetings in a bomber jacket" stuff, of course they haven't. They remain a fascist, racist party with a violent almost paramilitary wing (witness the hushed up story of one of they brood caught red handed with a kilo or so of explosive and other weapons with intent) whose history is steeped in hatred, pointlessness and despair. They deserve any misfortune and inconvenience anyone can throw at them.
Secondly, once you join such an organisation then you effectively cut yourself off from all the mainstream benefits of society - things like 'respect', 'duty' and 'consideration', and so on, no longer apply to this aspect of your life. And the more you remian in the organisation, the more that lack of consideration applies to more and more of your life. Griffin himself has none at all. He is the lowest of the low - any opportunity to inconvenience, humiliate or ruin him financially, politically or socially should be duty bound on anyone who gets the chance.
Finally - it'll do some of the people on the list some good. Upon being exposed to the fresh, cleansing light of day, they can confess, repent and do whatever else wayward people do to get back to the half-normal world of real people. It will play a small role in getting their lives back. Like an adulterer, a porn user or a flasher getting caught - there will be ridicule but then a chance to heal, forgive and forget and move on.
Hey, come on - I'm being half serious here. . . .
Plus this caught my eye whilst intertrawling "We were all very similar. We were often the youngest in the family, most had suffered some great trauma in their childhood, some had been beaten by a violent parent, most of them were illiterate. They didn't fit in and had no sense of identity. Most of them had been expelled from school at some stage. So I fitted into all that quite nicely."
Yep, the story of a BNP/NF high ranking 'official' who defected and leaked tons of stuff to www.searchlight.org. Those people on the list - do they feel a sense of recognition I wonder?

BNP membership list
We here at the REL offices got our hands on a copy of the BNP membership list and have just copied and pasted it. And what a sociological treat it is. There are few real surprises. It's mainly lone nutters and saddos, but taken en masse it just about becomes interesting. The data will be used to embarass many of those individuals on the list, of course, but the research department here at the revolutionary Marxist offices will be concerned in the more interesting geo-political aspects that this tiny little mine of human bitterness and waste reveals.
Hypotheses raised - 'There are more working class BNP supporters than middle class", "There is more BNP support in the North of England than in the South of England" "The main hobbies of the typical BNP supporter are hunting, combat sports and masturbation".
A spin off feature from this list, here at REL, will be the occassional attempt at correspondence with some of these deeply misguided souls, either by phone or e-mail. I recognise that all but the most retarded of BNP supporter must have changed their details in the last twenty four hours, but let's face it, that still leaves a good three quarters of those on the list.
After we've finally finished copying and pasting the sorry list of worms and duffers, feel free to ask for a copy of the document. I'm sure most people interested have laready got their copy and are busy planning their antics, but for those a bit slower on the uptake of this story there's copies available, since the blogspot they originated from has been closed down.
More to follow.
