1. Oh the BNP are a bunch of racists alright
"Mein Kampf is my Bible" - former BNP leader - John Tyndall

In the documentary, footage recorded at a meeting in Keighley shows BNP leader Mr Griffin saying it was important to stand up and act for the party or "they (Muslims) will do for someone in your family". "For saying that, I tell you, I will get seven years if I said that outside." He calls Islam a "wicked, vicious faith" that "has expanded through a handful of cranky lunatics" and "is now sweeping country after country". Another member, Stewart Williams, says he wants to "blow up" Bradford's mosques with a rocket launcher. BNP council candidate Dave Midgley is shown saying he squirted dog faeces through the letterbox of an Asian takeaway. In the film, Mr Barkham says he beat an Asian man during the Bradford riots. But, he says, he was not prosecuted as his victim was unable to identify him from police photographs.

And proving that they aren't only a bunch of racists, but also stupid:

Official Bob Garner said: "There was a bit of a cock-up. The chap who booked him didn't realise. The DJ sounded white on the phone." Labour MP Martin Salter said last night: "This just shows they'll never be a legitimate political party. "They're just poisonous bigots who think they can tell the colour of someone's skin from the other end of a phone line." Some members of the far right group were so outraged by the blunder they walked out of the hotel where their party was staged.
