My Asian in-law.
A BNP Assembly candidate who rants about Asians taking over the UK hides a fascinating secret - his father-in-law is Asian.
The Sunday World can reveal Steven Moore, who refers to Asians as "ragheads", not only has an Indian father-in-law but had his wedding paid for by the well-off Indian.
Last night we spoke to Neil Singh Sandhu who confirmed he was Moore's father-in-law.
When asked about his son-in-law's far right party views on subjects like repatriation Mr Sandhu said: "He's entitled to his views."
And when we asked how he felt about paying for the wedding of a man who in now the BNP organiser for Ulster he said: "I don't want to talk about it - it's not the issue."
He did confirm he maintains a positive relationship with the BNP candidate.
Mr Sandhu used to run a newsagents shop in Dunluce Street, Larne but he sold up some years ago and he now works for the ASDA distribution centre in Larne Harbour.
Mr Sandhu - described by people who know his as a workaholic - married Moore's wife Margaret's mum over 30 years ago although Mr Sandhu is not Margaret's father.
Respect
After moving to England for several years they returned 15 years ago and live just outside Larne.
Last night Moore, in a desperate attempt to try and minimise the damage of the revelation he knew would appear in the Sunday World, announced on his BNP blog that his father-in-law is from India.
After confirming his father-in-law is an Indian Sikh he adds: "I have always had the greatest of respect for my 'Father-in-Law', he's been in the UK for some 47 years and has worked and contributed to our country all his life.
"He has been a Grandfather to my children and a good friend.
"He and people like him the British National Party do not have a problem with, in fact the party has members who are Sikh.
"However people coming into our country freeloading and bringing hatred and anti British and anti Christian extremism with them we do!"
Last night Matthew Collins, from anti-facist magazine Searchlight said: " Like most school bullies, Moore was bound to have a secret."
Seat
Moore, a former French Foreign Legionnaire, is standing in this Thursday's election and is hoping to win seats at the Assembly, representing east Antrim and also hopes to get elected to Larne Council.
The Sunday World has exposed Moore before for being a walking right cliche.
He has led a charm offensive this week telling reporters that the BNP is not racist or sectarian.
But like like most BNP members, Moore calls Muslims "ragheads" and Catholics "taigs".
Moore's close family links with an Indian man will bemuse prospective BNP supporters.
And it is particularly strange that having such a family link Moore still represents a party with such a controversial policy such as repatriation.
The BNP does not regard non-white people as being British, including those born in the UK or who are naturalised British citizens.
And leader Nick Griffin has previously stated that "non-Europeans who stay", while protected by British law "will be regarded as permanent guests".
And MEP Griffin has that the BNP is opposed to mixed-race relationships because "when whites take partners from other ethnic groups, a white family line that stretches back into deep pre-history is destroyed."
Thanks to Steven Moore at The Sunday World

I can't understand why you've decided to reproduce this story on your blog. It doesn't raise any difficult ethical questions at all, instead it's just a classic case of how anti-Nationalists spin an incidental non-story to intimidate the general public from expressing Nationalist views. A far more relevant question is why a prominent and senior member of the BNP is married to an Asian?
ReplyDeleteSteven Moore is ethnically British, it wasn't his decision who his mother decided to marry so he cannot be accused of hypocrisy. The fact that Mr. Sandhu is in this country at all is as a consequence of the deliberate policy of mass immigration. If Steven Moore has consistently opposed the policy of mass immigration then he is not indirectly responsible for this situation arising, and has nothing to answer for.
So the only the 'interesting' aspect of this story is the evident bias of it's author using words like :
'hides a fascinating secret' - why would Steven Moore have to hide something he had no responsibility for?
'desperate attempt to try and minimise the damage of the revelation' - what damage does the writer think might occur?
'Like most school bullies, Moore was bound to have a secret' - so they have proof Steven Moore was a school bully?
'Moore's close family links with an Indian man will bemuse prospective BNP supporters' - again why? Having associations with non-indigenous people is almost inevitable in some areas of Britain today - you have no choice over who you work with, who lives in your street or who a relative chooses to marry. This does not disprove that Nationalism is a better system.
The only area of controversy is over which definition of the word "racist" he means when he denies being racist. It would be better if Nationalists avoided the word and instead used incontrovertible language like racial-hatred or racial-discrimination.

Quite so. But has it not occurred to you that race-mixing may actually be regarded as a positive recommendation for advancement within the party by Griffin ("A little salt in the soup...") and that this "merit" may extend also to any BNP member who has a relative who thus demonstrates their multiculturalist credentials?
