Dave Hannam and Mark Collett - the Little and Large of the BNP

In his latest and possibly dreariest-ever blog posting, Nick Griffin mentions the BNP's dream team, Mark Collett and Dave Hannam, peering out of one of the windows of the New Kimberley Hotel at Blackpool during the demonstration we had there while the party's 'annual conference' was taking place.

Despite being ordered not to by the police and the party itself, these two morons chose to stare out at the demonstrators, laughing inanely, rather in the manner of a couple of small children being naughty. According to Griffin, this infantile behaviour earned them 'a verbal wigging', which I presume to mean a pat on the head and a mild demand for them to behave themselves in future or they wouldn't get any pocket money.

In fact, Griffin goes to great lengths to defend their behaviour, claiming that they are both 'very valuable members of our central team', which may come as something of a surprise to the vast number of BNP members who have watched their careers with a growing sense of unreality. The implication is, of course, that they are so essential to the BNP that their misdemeanours can be largely ignored - which should be little comfort to the likes of Geoffrey Wallace.

Mark Collett is in a class of his own, even in a party packed to the rafters with incompetent buffoons, so we'll leave him for a moment and just take a quick look at Dave Hannam.

Hannam runs the disastrous Great White Records (GWR), the alleged musical wing of the BNP, which features such timeless classics as Paul Cromie on the mandolin (comparable, so we've been told, to George Formby on the banjo), and Colin Auty singing rubbishy racist songs about how much he likes to annoy MPs. Most of the songs on GWR's mercifully short list seem to have been penned by Griffin himself, who would do better to stop writing talentless crap and start hassling the party's treasurer to get the accounts in to the Electoral Commission, which has been waiting for them for over six months beyond the due date.

Rumour has it that GWR cost around £50,000 to set up and consumes around £1000/1200 per month in running costs. As it produces hardly any recordings, we can only assume that most of those costs cover rent and wages - something of a sinecure for Hannam at the expense of the membership.

It will come as no surprise to regular readers of this blog that the accounts for Great White Records are long overdue - in fact as far as we can see from a quick search of records at Companies House, no accounts have ever been submitted (in two years). Hannam is also deputy-treasurer of the BNP, so no real surprise there. For a party that purports to want to run the country, it doesn't seem to be doing a good job of managing itself at the moment.

Dave Hannam is regarded as something of a joke to fascists and anti-fascists alike but it should be remembered that he was convicted a few years back of 'publishing or distributing racially inflammatory material'.

Our low opinion of Hannam is reflected by those members of the BNP who have had to work with him, particularly Ian Dawson, former head of group support. Dawson, in his resignation letter, was scathing about Hannam, describing him variously as completely incompetent and a liar.

Dawson was even more scathing about Collett, who he describes as deceitful, devious, arrogant, spiteful, greedy and a moron. According to the Dawson letter, Collett was directly guilty of causing the resignation of Andrew Spence, which itself led to the resignation of Scott McLean, Griffin's Deputy Chairman. Even without these two high-profile resignations, Collett has caused havoc, repeatedly upsetting Sadie Graham at Advisory Council meetings, deliberately sabotaging Chris Beverley's Excalibur business (which sells overpriced tat to gullible BNP members) and calling Kenny Smith a liar on several occasions.

Collett leads a charmed life - or he has so far. The appalling film Young, Nazi and Proud should have seen him kicked out of the BNP, which has spent the past decade attempting to hide its Nazi leanings. If that didn't do it, his anti-gay comments in Russell Brand's Naziboy (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) should have done it, but sadly didn't.

Not even Ian Dawson's revelation that Collett has said on several occasions and in front of witnesses that 'if I don't get my way I will go Queen's evidence on Nick' has had the desired effect of having this idiot booted out of the party.

Now, however, things might be changing.

Yesterday saw the opening of a new blog entitled 'Enough is enough'. According to its statement, 'it's time to eject Collett and Hannam from the BNP before their arrogance, lies and incompetence brings [sic] us all down. So come on Nick, enough is enough!'

Clearly, there are some members of the party who have reached the end of their tether. A fuller statement on the site says;

'This site is not meant as attack on the BNP. It has come about because of the widespread damage being inflicted by this due on the Party and the shocking lack of action taken by the BNP (or more accurately Nick Griffin) to sort the problem out.

Morale is at an all-time low despite an all-time high number of members and councillors.

EIE believes it is time to start publicly exposing the pair in the hope that action will finally be taken to rid the BNP of these sleazy, lying, incompetent scumbags.

The BNP has lost enough good people already and we don't want to lose any more. It's time they went instead!'

Hannam and Collett have avoided censure for a long time though word has it that they both received written warnings after the 2006 conference when it was alleged by an awful lot of people both inside and out of the BNP that they got a couple of schoolgirls (variously claimed to be between thirteen and fifteen) into the hotel. Since this event, there has been a campaign by disgruntled BNP members to get rid of them, though it has been slow to grind into action.

Whether this event actually happened in the way it is suggested, is debatable. Certainly Hannam and Collett were in a hotel room with a couple of young females - that much is clear from a snippet of film we were sent a few weeks ago, though it's probably best if we say nothing more about that for the moment just in case any criminal charges are in the offing.

Suffice to say that Hannam and Collett, the would-be Little and Large of the BNP, are in for a rough ride over the next few weeks. We look forward to any future revelations about their behaviour with eager anticipation.

A quote from an earlier post of yours about Mark Collet

"He's a dreadful designer and publicist. The party literature and PR material is absolutely awful and totally amateur"

You have to wonder what he has on Nick Griffin if hes that bad

The two girls were 15 and Collete and Hannem got FINAL written warnings in December 2006. Not even Herr Griffen can move those goalposts.

Two of the three on the disciplinary committe are not BNP any more but there word still stands.

'Little and Large might have been funny on TV but there's nothing amusing about Hannam and Collett.'

I originally titled the post 'Dave Hannam and Mark Collett - the Morecambe and Wise of the BNP' but I thought that was a bit insulting to those two comedians so renamed it to Little and Large, who are pretty much the least funny comedians I've ever seen. That's what I get for trying to be subtle...

I WAS a BNP fundholder in West Mids for two years, according to Hannam I lost £235.40 in one quarter.

No I fopping didnt, he had stuck the same amount in the wrong column on his spreadsheet. I asked more questions and he told me he was using some prehistoric version of Excel and didnt have Windows XP and how much did it cost to upgrade "his version of Windows" to the latest XP?

Since then I've got a life and met people with more fingers and toes than Hannam has braincells!

This has just been posted over on that Eie site

"Hannam’s latest literary masterpiece is an embarrassment to the BNP. Visit the
Electoral Commission website or download his Regional Accounting Unit Statement
of Accounts for 2006 below.

http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/files/dms/BNPRegionalAccountingUnitSoA2006_27586-20310__E__N__S__W__.pdf

Page one starts with the “overall orgaisational growth” [which he repeats again
on page 8 just in case we doubted his stupidity!] then tells us about “the
necessary necessity to improve”, “branches who did not sumit their records”, and
“the groups and branches develop more sophisticated and fine tuning methods”.

It goes on… “a cardon-copy submission”, “Wocestershire”, “A uinit is accorded
branch status”, “Contacts are one-person Units, ineligible for financial as they..”.
“They are given permission to be the Part’s contact”, “local press spokeman”, “a
surplus of income over of expenditure of £17,399”. “This has resulted in an add
back to reserves of £4,987”, “Scottish Neritage”.

He also lists branches as active in 2006 when the BNP website regional voices
section only announced some of them as having started in 2007.

There are lots of other grammar and punctuation errors that would shame a 14-year
old, but our favourite is the existence of “Roger” as a contact unit.

Anybody got a map?"

So much for the BNP's hypocritical stance over paedophiles in Keighley.

"Grooming" they called it, when they referred to paedophiles in Keighley, as did that tuneless twat Auty, in his racist diatribe about Savilletown, Dewsbury, who also (absurdly) tried to specifically link Asian people to sex crimes.

When all along, the nonces ARE THE BNP THEMSELVES.

Putting the above into context and plain English, it means the BNP will not file their accounts until January which is when they get their hands on membership renewal money. They will then declare 2007/2008's money as being from the beginning 2006. The BNP is, BANKRUPT and Griffin is hanging on by the skin of his teeth waiting for the Euro gravy train to pay off.

Are you sure this website is on the level?

http://enoughisenoughnick.blogspot.com/

This is the kind of thing Griffin tells Lecomber/Kemp to unleash when he wants to rid himself of people.

Hannam and Collett are complete morons but they also know where the bodies lie. Griffins trademark is to damage the opposition before they damage him and he never does the dirty work himself. If Griffin can achieve maximum damage to these two no one will ever believe their story when they finally talk. Moronic BNP members will as usual just call it sour grapes.

Collett is absolute scum and always eventually hated by every person he meets. He is a product of Griffin who effectively created this slimy little shit-bag by rewarding everything nasty, childish or simply immoral he has ever done and blamed everyone else and defended him; even when the things he has done are seemingly indefensible by ordinary decent people. Why? Because Collett can play around with a fucking publisher program and knock out a few mag covers and leaflets? Don’t make me laugh Griffin! I could find 100 graphic design grads tomorrow that would do the job better than that shit-head at half the money!

Now, I hate you Red bastards with a passion, believe me, but at the end of the day you've got you're beliefs and we have ours as that’s fine, because I know where I stand. I've never had a problem with that and will always front you up given the chance so fuck it; you hate us, we hate you that’s the way it is. The loathing however I have for him cannot be beaten. He swaggers around like he owns wherever he happens to be and now even thinks in his pointy little skull that he is effectively number 2 in the BNP and stand-in leader when Griffin is out of the UK; his child-like arrogance is to be seen to be believed. He has no loyalty, respect or decency for anyone or anything other than himself and it is now getting to the point where normal members like me, not just the inner core, are starting to see him for what he really is and the protection and bullshit from Griffin is now losing its effect.
Once I would never have dreamed of posting on a blog like this, but now I no longer care who knows how I feel.

"Collett has said on several occasions and in front of witnesses that 'if I don't get my way I will go Queen's evidence on Nick'"
And that's the key to all of this. It explains why Collett has been kept on despite being a world class wanker. Griffin is terrified of him.

Lovely. I do like to see Mark Collet in trouble.

According to one his sockpuppets (probably Collett himself) on the Eie blog:

"I dont believe these anonymous lies posted by people who might be jealous of Mark's great skills and I reckon will be Mr. Griffin's natural hair"

So there you have it, Griffin's reason for hanging on to this loathsome little twonk. He's worried about losing his hair!

My dear friend and fellow BNPer

It might be hard to imagine but there are people in the BNP who want to tarnish our name and its image. We can suppose that there are plenty of riff raff in the labour and conservative and respect and libdims parties who hate us and our aims who want to screw us but people in our own party who want to screw us and damage us is more difficult to get your head round.

Such people do exist and im going to give you some photographic evidence taken at the annual conference in blackpool which shows two people who think they are clever but are complete idiots and acted in a way which broke the security code of conduct which everyine else at blackpool saw fit to adhere to.

the pictures were taken by the left wing riffraff who shouted "nazi scum" at a building for 50 minutes before sloping off to the pubs but the pictures are genuine and havent been messed about with.

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/11/386101.html

You will recognize the two window lickers in the picture about 3/4 of the way down the page as david hannem and mark collette. did you know that these two are your leaders? well they are! they are on the advisory council and are heads of departments. Hannem is in charge of treasury and collette is in charge of all publicity matters. not good publicity though is it? its the 13th pic down the list - unlucky for some hey?!

talking about messing about did you know that these are the two persons who brought back two 13 year old schoolgirls to the kimberley hotel for sex at last year conference but were rumbled by security who got the two little girls out of the hotel before they could have their wicked way? they got a severe doing down for that but isnt it disgusting that there are two BNP members out there who could even think of doing this kind of thing. worth bearing in mind if you are bringing your children along to the RWB next year.

if you had to drive hundreds of miles down or up or across to blackpool and paid the money for the weekend and you adhered to the security code of conduct then you can ask why aint these two idiots even getting a talking to for this stupidity?

im keeping my kids away from the RWB next year if these kiddy fiddlers are still party members, im staying away from the annual conference if these two chimps are going to put my life in danger and my mates and the hotel staff in danger.

I am another BNP member and Collet and Hannam are in danger of ripping the party apart, as well as Walker.

I wish I could use my ID,,,, Oh I still think youn reds are so wrong in your view of where Britain will be in 30 years time, and we will be proven right.

Basically all the decent hard working honest people in the BNP want these two vermin out. They have already stuck the knife into Sadie Graham, Ian Dawson, K Smith, and a few others. Many regions are in danger of pulling the plug if these two fools dont go.

We still want Nick to stay as long as he listen's to the advisory council, They have already advised that these two cretins go.

Our party and cause is to important to be risked for the ego of these two fools to be maintained.

This is the last throw of the dice to get rid of them before the BNP splits in all directions.... They have just caused too much flak. All the rest of us want the BNP to move forward as the party that has moral's integrity and as the party that always speaks the truth.

We need rid of them to be able to continue to do this.

I know you red mob hate us but we are moving forward and we are changing. We are not a party of haye now but the party of the British people and way of life.

This is Griffin's worst nightmare. He has everyone of his most senior advisers calling & demanding the expulsion of Hannem and Collett for repeated efforts of bringing the BNP into disrepute. This weekend will see a crunch meeting and Griffin must either go with the best advice of his oldest loyalists, people like Scott Maclean who has stepped back into the frontline after going quiet for months, people like Eddy Butler, tipped to be a possible candidate for BNP leader, Steve Blake the web editor, Sadie Graham the group development officer and Tony Brewer who is the new party manager. Either that he thinks the older, senior figures are out of touch and bats for Collett and Hannam. If he goes with the two chimps then expect a blood bath of the oldest and most senior BNPers and the end of the BNP.

If he ditches the two chimps then lets hear the dirt that they claim they have on him and his wife. The worst case scenario is that Collett had his way with Griffin's wife while Griffin watched. Big deal. The LibDems and the Old School Tories from public school have three way men on men action. Not the end of the world and if thats the best dirt the scumbag attempted and failed blackmailer Collett and his monkey Hannam have then lets all hear it.

Then lets hope the cops will arrest the blackmailing b4stard Collett.
