The BNP moves into horse-trading

More money-making lunacy from the BNP

Nick Griffin's mania for new opportunities to make money continues unabated with the sudden creation of a completely new venture - Horse Matters - which purports to be 'the UK's premier source of equestrian news and events', despite the fact that the site has only existed for about half an hour and doesn't even work properly.

Griffin - who really should be concentrating on submitting the BNP's long-overdue accounts to the Electoral Commission - is obviously intending to saturate the entire internet with fraudulent companies claiming to be the premier this or the UK's best that, but the only thing they really have in common is that they show the BNP leadership's desperation to fleece as many people as possible in the shortest possible time.

We all know about the companies that appear like mushrooms wherever the BNP sees an opportunity for a scam - Albion Life, the insurance brokers that died after little more than a month (hope it was insured), Brightahomes, the double-glazing nonsense that still appears to be going (just - do a search for it via Google and a single link appears), the Skip-Hire Registry, another internet-based company that disappeared almost as soon as it was formed, Avocado Mortgages, that claimed to be the 'right site for your every mortgage requirement' though nobody in their right minds would trust the BNP or Nick Griffin with more than a box of paper-clips let alone their mortgage - and they are widely regarded as a joke of the first order though the deeper we look, the more we feel there is yet to be discovered.

Horse Matters is, it claims on the site, sponsored by Avocado Mortgages. This presumably is entirely meaningless as Avocado has only been in existence since late-June and is unlikely to have made more than a tenner for the BNP in that time. So what's the point in the reference to Avocado? Simply that the BNP, which nobody trusts, seeks to legitimise its many and various enterprises by referencing them to other BNP enterprises. Brightahomes, Avocado and now Horse Matters avoid any mention of the BNP - unlike the defunct Albion Life - and thus avoid being tainted by it, at least until they're caught out.

Griffin and the BNP's indiscriminate and growing frenzy to raise money points us to one of two conclusions - that the party is almost bankrupt, is on its last legs and Nick Griffin is panicking, or that there is a big plan afoot which urgently needs funding. Speculation is rife among anti-fascists as to which it could be but we're beginning to see distinct hints in our correspondence that the Croatia angle should not be ignored under any circumstances.

That's speculation that we can leave for another article when we have a little more information but in the meantime, if you have any more info on the BNP's curious world of dodgy companies, please let us know. At the very least, we can have a good laugh at them.
