BNP leader blasts top London cops as ‘Lying Bastards’, ‘arseholes’ and ‘spies’ over BNP infiltrator
Unemployed BNP legal officer, Lee Barnes, launched a blistering attack on three top London cops after it was revealed in March that BNP member Ellis Hammond had infiltrated the police as a serving officer in the Police Community Safety unit in southeast London. Hammond was sacked from his job after a police raid on his home uncovered a deactivated machine gun, neo-nazi literature, obscene material, combat knives and knuckle dusters.
At the time Superintendent Martin Mitchell of Greenwich police where Ellis Hammond was serving said, “Individuals like Hammond have no place within the Metropolitan police service. Where we identify those who are involved in criminality, or who have opinions that conflict with our intention to provide the best quality service to all communities, we will act quickly”.
In response to this, in an article on his personal blog entitled, ‘Cops Lie Again’ (http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2008/03/cops-lie-again.html), Mr Barnes attacked Supt. Mitchell as ‘you lieing bastard' and accused Supt. Mitchell of speaking ‘utter bullshit'.
In the same article Mr Barnes also attacked Sir Ian Blair, the head of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), as an ‘arsehole’ and accused another senior MPS officer, Borough Commander of Hammersmith and Fulham Ali Dezai, of being an Iranian spy.
