The BNP's apparent mania for creating new organisations between which it can spread its diminishing resources in a vain attempt to screw money out of as many people as possible continues with the official launch a few days ago of ABEX, the Association of British Ex-Services Personnel.ABEX comes complete with a mission statement:
'The aim of ABEX is to promote and support the welfare of ex forces personnel and their dependants, and those organizations whose agents have risked life and limb in the service of this country, through democratic representation to ensure fair and equitable treatment within our society.'
In common with every other organisation the BNP has set up in the past ten years, the BNP states that ABEX 'is not a BNP group' and that it is an 'independent and non-party political association'. Strange then, that it has been a BNP-run 'circle' for the past three years - at least according to the last three sets of accounts submitted to the Electoral Commission (2003-5) - under the care of BNP-terrorist Tony Lecomber and subsequently Sadie Graham, following Lecomber's sacking as Group Development Officer last year.
Even more strange is the statement that ABEX is 'a non profit organisation and [is] applying for Charity status at this time'. Obviously it hasn't got it. If it had, the Charity Registration number should be shown on its website and it isn't. Not that ABEX has a hope in hell of gaining charitable status (as the BNP well knows) because groups run by political parties are not allowed to be charities.
This group that is not a BNP front-group is so independent that it intends to have a stand at the party's annual Red, White and Blue booze-fest this weekend, presumably alongside that other well-known not a BNP front-group Solidarity 2, its fake union.
As expected, particularly after noting that ABEX is seeking charity status, the BNP has been careful to hide its connection to it from the unwary visitor. The website tracks back to an independent domain handler as opposed to either of the two BNP webmeisters Steve Blake or school-bomber Lambertus Nieuwhof, thus keeping its origin unclear to visitors who would balk at any hint of the BNP. Nowhere on the site does it mention that the ABEX is in any way connected to the BNP and it carefully avoids stating who its organisers are, though its forum has a number of names that might be familiar to those who delve into the murky world of the Stormfront nazi forum - Lord Kitchener and Boudicca for example. There is more of a giveaway though in some of the language used:
'...its organisers clearly see that we share a good deal of common ground...and, furthermore, they believe passionately in the freedom of speech and association for which so many past generations of British servicemen have fought and died.'
Those who know anything at all about the BNP will know that it is the least democratic political group in the country and that it has absolutely no interest in freedom of speech and association for its own party members, let alone the rest of us. ABEX is yet another peurile attempt - doomed to failure, to suck in more money to be thrown away on the next lunatic scheme of Nick Griffins - a couple of chalets for the Holiday Camp from Hell in Croatia perhaps, or yet another disaster like Solidarity.
