The BNP's "Lecomber thing"

Once second only to Nick Griffin in the BNP, one time party organiser Tony Lecomber has been proscribed by the racist party.

Formerly an ally of the BNP's founder, John Tyndall, Lecomber switched his support to Nick Griffin - sparking an emnity between Tyndall and Lecomber that ended only with Tyndall's death. Lecomber acted as Griffin's hatchet-man on a number of occasions, forcing the BNP leader's critics out of the party.

Despite Griffin's avowed intention to "clean up the BNP" - which seems to boil down to expelling potential leadership challengers and their supporters while retaining loyalist crooks and thugs - the BNP leader was happy to retain Lecomber's services, even though Lecomber had been imprisoned for three years for possession of explosives, and a further three years for wounding a Jewish teacher.

This seemed to be a strange state of affairs even to BNP members, who widely reviled Griffin's number two. The question, "What has Lecomber got on Griffin?" was - and is - never very far from their lips.

Lecomber overstepped the mark when he attempted to solicit former Griffin bodyguard Joe Owens to kill a well-known politician. Even Griffin could not cloud the issue this time - though it appears some attempt was made to do exactly that. Read more about this here and here.

Ousted anti-Griffinite Sharon Ebanks - who, like Lecomber, knows where the BNP bodies are buried - posted this on the Nazi Stormfront website:

One only has to read the current proscription notice in this months BN of Tony Lecomber to know exactly what Griffin is. Or, what Lecomber has on Griffin. You can smell Griffin's fear in every word.

In another post Ebanks says:

... Why did Griffin rewrite Lecombers proscription to please Lecomber? Lecomber tried to kill Eddy Butler a few weeks ago, but we forget Lecomber also asked Joe Owens to execute government ministers last year too. Strange how Lecomber can get away with murder, but others get expelled/proscribed for nothing. I must ask Lecomber what his secret is :) I hear others know the secret already :) And, why is Lecomber touting a file on Bob Gertner? Lecomber claims he's a Searchlight spy. And, why were Barking and Daggenham councillors in London a short while ago trying to break someones legs over money? Has Griffin run out of unemployed security guards?

As Ebanks adds at the end of her post, "Questions, questions..."

What, indeed, has Tony Lecomber got on Nicholas Griffin?
