German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schauble has shut down two far-right organisations, describing them as "reservoirs" of Holocaust deniers.In a statement, the interior ministry said the authorities had raided 30 sites linked to the groups, which were based in three western German states. Mr Schauble said they had been involved in "disseminating anti-Semitic propaganda" and glorifying the Nazis. Holocaust denial is a criminal offence under German law. The interior ministry said both groups had violated Germany's constitution.
They were named as Collegium Humanum and the Association for the Rehabilitation of Those Persecuted for Questioning the Holocaust, and were said to be based in Lower Saxony, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia.

Darby's blog:-
"Nick has been down in London for most of the day finalising the makeup of the support team which will surround Richard Barnbrook. Apparently we have two very fine offices in City Hall and a budget for staff in the region of £87,000 gross per year. Over the four years of a lifetime of this London Assembly and when you include rent that's quite a prize especially when you consider what we achieve when working on our normal shoestring budget."
Right, so is Darby admitting that public money intended to fund Barnbrook's office ("quite a prize") is going to be used for BNP political purposes.
What are the rules?
You and Searchlight should keep an eye on this.
I think the rules are fairly lax. The Greens have used their GLA seats to run the national party for some years now.
So far as I know, they get the offices, all paid for, staff expenses to fill 'em up, and County Hall pretty much leave them to do what they want after that.
You can rest assured BNP political purposes probably means Nick Griffin's back pocket.
