BNP heavyweight supports Eddy Butler leadership challenge


Eddy Butler, who is challenging Nick Griffin for the BNP leadership this summer, has announced that Nick Cass, the popular former Yorkshire BNP organiser, will be his running mate to become deputy chairman of the BNP in the event of a Butler victory.

In a “BNP TV” video posted on YouTube and some BNP-supporting websites, Cass explains that Griffin does not have the time to be BNP leader because since his election to the European Parliament he is focusing his attention “across the water”. Party members feel that the leadership has become detached from them, he adds.

Cass, 36, says that Butler is asking sensible questions to which members want to know the answers, but the party leadership is ridiculing them. He has been “shocked” by the campaign against Butler. He expected the party, in which he has been an activist for 20 years, to be “straight-talking and honest”, not to come out with smears against Butler.

Cass is helping Butler in the hard task of obtaining the signatures of 20% of BNP members of two years’ standing. He says every senior BNP officer in Yorkshire wants change in the leadership. The BNP’s Liverpool branch, a centre of activity in the region in which Griffin is an MEP, also supports Butler.

It did not take long before Griffin’s supporters went onto the attack on one of the most extreme nazi web forums with a thread –withdrawn after a few hours – titled “Nick Cass Scum Traitor”, in which commenters suggested that Cass might be a Searchlight agent, state asset or, worse from a nazi viewpoint, Jewish.

The insult was ironic. Cass with his wife and three children have appeared on many BNP election leaflets as the typical wholesome white family that votes BNP.

It was also highly unlikely. Cass sports a prominent “tree of life” tattoo on his right arm, between shoulder and elbow. This symbol, also known as the life rune, is a favourite among nazi groups worldwide, several of which have adopted it as their logo. Under Hitler it was the symbol of the SS Lebensborn project, which encouraged SS troopers to have children out of wedlock with “Aryan” mothers and kidnapped children of Aryan appearance from the countries of occupied Europe to raise as Germans. To white supremacists today the tree of life signifies the future of the “white race”.

The tattoo was pictured in Sky TV’s BNP Wives documentary. The same programme revealed that Cass had instructed his wife, Suzy, to insist on a white European midwife when giving birth to their children, which reveals his attitude to women as well as his racism.

This is not the first time that Cass has fallen out with BNP colleagues. It was widely reported in 2007 that Cass was sacked from the job of BNP party manager two minutes before a meeting, after he had been given a role for which he was unsuited. Cass disputes this, saying that he resigned so that he could spend more time with his family.

The announcement of Cass’s support for Butler put paid to malicious rumours from the Griffin camp that Butler was putting forward Lawrence Rustem as deputy leader. Rustem, a former BNP councillor in Barking and Dagenham, suffers from the fatal flaw in the eyes of the BNP’s racist members that he is of part Turkish Cypriot descent.

Griffin supporters have also tried to link Butler with Sharon Ebanks, a former BNP activist who fell out with the party after Griffin reneged on a promise to meet her legal expenses for a challenge to a council election result in Birmingham that the party encouraged her to mount. She is widely derided in the BNP because of her West Indian father.

Meanwhile the anti-Butler blog run by Paul Golding, the BNP’s national communications officer, has listed reasons why Butler is unsuitable to lead the BNP. Butler is accused of being “bland and boring and grey and colourless”, “rude and arrogant”, having “no intellectual ability whatsoever”, “pure repellent”, “defeatist”, a “raging control freak” and, horror of horrors, “arranging the most disgusting food ever served at a BNP event”, a feat that takes some doing, judging by the reports we have received of typical BNP catering.

Griffin, in contrast, has “heaps of charisma”, is an “accomplished writer and intellectual”, “affable”, a “visionary” and “able to command respect and loyalty”. Unfortunately for Griffin, a growing number of BNP members are rejecting Golding’s sycophancy.

Rumours abound that the abuse directed at Cass on the VNN forum was removed at the insistence of the Covert team. It seems the involvement of Cass may be swaying some of Griffin's most loyal sycophants and attack dogs towards the "reform" camp. This really could be the end for Griffin.

Nick Cass Is A Wanker!

This is part of an article that went up on the BNPs website earlier outlining the rules for a leadership election.


The number of 24-month-plus members eligible to nominate/vote was precisely 4,200 as of noon today. The threshold for a valid nomination for any given candidate is therefore 840 signatures.

The number of Voting Members eligible to nominate is 278. The threshold for a valid nomination for any given candidate is therefore 56 Voting Members’ signatures.

Please note that the current BNP membership is some 14,000, but that until recent organisational improvements ‘put the plug in the bath,’ the non-renewal rate was very high.

Simon Darby has resigned.

"wishing to avoid a descent into personality-orientated factionalism, I am going to set an example. I have therefore decided to resign as Deputy Leader of this Party with immediate effect. My purpose in this decision is not only to take this distraction out of the election. Also, if I can endure self-imposed demotion for the greater good of this Party, then I have the moral right to ask that others at least exercise responsibility and restraint."

BWA hahahah!
Thanks for the news, John P

"what does it matter who wins"

It does - Let's keep Griffin in power. He's a known quantity and isn't it "Better the devil you know"? He's so fucking incompetant and compromised that it makes our work as anti-fascists slightly easier. Griffin knows in his heart or hearts that the BNP will never exercise any real power and he is milking Nationalism for all it's worth (and long may that continue).

The BNP have probably reached their peak electorally and are on a definate downward curve and with Griffin that will continue. They could have built something really big in Britain in the decade just gone but they blew it. With Labour in opposition for the next 8 years at least there is a new dyanamic now that doesn't favour the BNP.

"Simon Darby has resigned."

Butler and Cass are 'stalking horses" against Griffin then?

They damage Griffin without winning and allow Darby to deliver the knock-out blow next year?

Griffin should know all about these underhanded tactics. He did the same sort of thing alongside Harrington and Derek Holland against Ian Anderson while in the NF in the mid-80's.

Simon Darby is still being paid from Brussels and GLA he is a greedy bastard and should give these PAID Jobs up. He is one of the most hated men in the BNP.

Nick Cass has more pressing issues than the so called "demise of the white people".

He should be standing up for the ginger minority! This is considerably more pressing than than any other issue.

Cass, save the gingers from foreign invaders.If those "Muslims have their way there will be no gingers left
