The Electoral Commission has launched an investigation into the accounting records of the British National Party, it was announced today
The commission, which is the independent party finance watchdog, said it had began the probe into the party's 2008 statement of accounts. This follows concerns raised about its "adequacy" by the independent auditor's report that accompanied it. But the fact that an investigation had been launched did not mean there should be assumptions made over any alleged breaches, the commission stressed.
In January this year the commission began a review following the concerns raised, and this has now developed into the investigation announced today. It follows comments by the registered auditors, Silver & Co, that the financial statements submitted did not "give a true and fair view of the state of the party's affairs at December 31, 2008".
The auditors went on: "In our opinion it cannot be said that the accounts comply with the requirements of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, as adequate records have not been made available."
A statement released by the commission said: "In January 2010 the Electoral Commission, the independent party finance watchdog, began a case review following concerns raised in the independent auditor's opinion about the adequacy of the 2008 statement of accounts of the British National Party. The case has now become an investigation.
"However, it is important to note - particularly during an election period - that no conclusion has been reached and therefore no assumption should be made as to whether a breach of the rules has occurred."

Isn't Silver an anglo-Jeiwsh surname? Barnes's next blog entry has just written itself: "Zionists" have it in for the BNP..."
They should get an enormous fine and be bankrupted.
They need to look into Griffins and Dowsons Bank accounts. They have robbed the BNP of more than a million between them.
An interview for the BNP on the Six o' Clock News.
Suprise, suprise from the state-approved broadcaster!

They need to investigate this.
“The BNP thanks all donors who kindly gave to the Truth Truck appeal fund which made the purchase of this powerful weapon possible,” BNP chairman Nick Griffin said.
Why don't you lot get a fuckin life.
I saw Cyclops on the 6' O Clock News also, blaming a random passing Asian man for the supposed "Islamisation of Britain"!
The BNP have sacked their organiser, Dave Strickson in Thurrock. Emma Colgate has now taken over as Thurrock Organiser.
The party is in complete turmoil there.

Got one, thanks, and part of it involves keeping a close eye on what that crook at the head of your party gets up to and anticipating the day when he's either banged up for a thousand different frauds or attacked by an irate membership that's finally sussed him for the vermin he is.
The election watchdog has absolutely no teeth at all, and will refuse to impose drastic sanctions this side of the elections.
"Why don't you lot get a fuckin life"
We've wound someone up!
"An interview for the BNP on the Six o' Clock News"
Notice too that the Daily Mail are running even more immigration/asylum scare stories than usual since the election was called. The Establishment are doing all they can to maximise a fascist vote and get them into Parliament. They view the BNP as a 'safety valve'and a convenient place to park the racist-right vote. A dangerous tactic IMO!
I look forward to the results of the probe with some relish.
I think it is obvious to all but the pitifully exploited BNP supporter that they have been robbed blind by some very unscrupulous self-serving men.
'Why don't you lot get a fuckin life.'
Hmm... a typical BNP's member's daily routine normally revolves around harressing passer-bys on the street, morris-dancing and replaying Hitler's most famous speeches on Youtube, then a song to finsh the day off let's say Vera Lynn's "White Cliffs Of Dover" (who actually despises the BNP) then it's time for the swastika PJ's!
I've just seen this in the Times.
"Under this Act, parties must file annual accounts that offer an accurate overview of money coming in and out of the party. There are a range of penalties for giving inaccurate or incomplete information to the Commission. They include prosecution, with a maximum penalty of a £5,000 or one year’s imprisonment."
Well this day couldnt get any better , as an "ex Bnp" who saw through all the lies and shit coming from the upper realms and who was supposedly ruled by Fuckwit Jefferson . I am not a great fan of the Uaf as people can find out the real reasons if they dare take the griffin blinkers off !!
I can just see some of the brainwashed faithfull in their gardens right now , heads buried deep in the soil " pretending its griffins shit " with their prayer beads --- its all lies ----its all lies ---- its a smear ---- griffin is god ----
happy days for all lol
"swastika PJs"
Nice one !

Mr Griffin and Mr Dowson have all the members money.
"The Establishment are doing all they can to maximise a fascist vote and get them into Parliament." The Establishment includes the Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat Parties, all of whom are standing against the BNP. The BBC has a duty to reflect what's going on in the country. If the BNP are putting up candidates the BBC has to report it. Curb the paranoia.
The Daily Mail running anti-immigrant stories? We don't have to be paranoid to object to that.
