1. Holocaust deniers
There is no greater insult to those who fought to keep Britain free than to deny the Holocaust happened. But that is what the BNP do.
BNP leader Nick Griffin says the Holocaust is a lie to make people feel sorry for Jewish people.
He also alleges that the concentration camps, such as Auschwitz, were built after the war by British and American soldiers.
The BNP has even produced a newspaper dedicated to denying the Holocaust.
2. Hitler worshippers
BNP youth leader Mark Collett told Channel Four only a few months ago that Hitler was his hero. He said he would have liked to live in Nazi Germany and found Nazi-saluting German soldiers "inspiring".
Another BNP leader, Tony Lecomber, has called Hitler "peace-loving".
Even Griffin adores the fascists. Articles praising the evil Waffen SS and Britain's very own would-be fascist leader, Oswald Mosley, have appeared in his magazine.
3. Mengele's heirs
A BNP leader has proposed a Josef Mengele-type eugenics programme for a BNP Britain. Tony Lecomber advocates a "racially purer" Britain through sterilisation of the poor, the sick and the disabled.
He even thinks that the rich are "genetically superior" to ordinary people and that poor people shouldn't be allowed to have their own children.
His programme is almost identical to that which led to the warped experiments carried out by Mengele and his sick friends under Hitler's nazi Germany.
4. Combat 18 buddies
The BNP set up the nazi terror group Combat 18 (C18).
C18 thugs regularly provided personal security for BNP leaders and their meetings. BNP members were involved in many of the worst C18 attacks around the country.
The newly elected BNP councillor in Halifax was once an organiser in Combat 18. He ran a C18 magazine and was raided by police during a nationwide operation against C18 leaders.
Even today, photos and information provided by BNP members end up on a C18 internet hitlist.
5. Jew-haters
Like all nazis, BNP leaders hate Jews.
Griffin recently wrote a pamphlet claiming that the Jewish people were actively conspiring to control the British media in order to brainwash us into accepting multiculturalism.
Griffin's "proof" that the BBC was run by a Jewish conspiracy was the naming of 19 Jewish employees. That's 19 out of over 10,000 staff!
6. Bonehead pals
The BNP is closely linked to the Nazi skinhead gang Blood and Honour, a group that takes its name from Nazi Germany. Many of the leaders of B and H are BNP organisers.
Blood and Honour bands have played at nazi festivals in Germany and America. Money from their gigs has helped fund the British National Party's election campaigns.
A skinhead band led by the loyalist terrorist Johnny Adair, called Offensive Weapon, performed at a nazi festival held on Griffin's father's farm.
7. Nazi murderers
The London nail-bomber, David Copeland, was a BNP member. Copeland murdered three people during a two-week bombing campaign in the capital in 1999.
Copeland learnt his Nazi politics as an active BNP member. He even boasted to police after his arrest that he wanted to spark off a race riot in Britain so people would go out and vote for the BNP.
8. Traitors
BNP leaders don't think Britain should have fought Hitler in the Second World War. Griffin once insulted the memory of those who died keeping this country free by marching with other nazi lunatics to the Cenotaph under the banner "No more brothers wars".
Lecomber has said that Hitler was a "peace-loving man" while Churchill was a "warmongering drunken slob".
9. Distributors of hate
Several leading BNP members have distributed hard-core Nazi material. Warwickshire organiser Mark Payne sold videos worshipping a 1980s US nazi terrorist group called The Order. Payne was so enchanted with its leader Robert Matthews that he adopted the man's surname.
Even today, the BNP bookclub still sells appaling hate-material from the world's leading Jew-haters and Holocaust deniers.
10. Nazi International Inc.
The BNP is linked to some of the world's most hardline nazi groups. Among them is the National Alliance, America's leading Nazi party. Its founder was William Pierce, a friend of Griffin and a guest speaker at a BNP London rally.
Griffin is also very close to David Duke, a former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and still a hardline nazi. In 2001 Griffin spoke at a German nazi rally alongside Duke and other European fascists.
