Let's have the truth, not propaganda

"Finally, there is an alternative! The British National Party is Britain's fastest growing political party, with over 100 parish, district, borough and county councillors, a seat on the Greater London Assembly and two seats in the European Parliament."

This is an extract from a statement, above Mr Griffin's name, which appears on the BNP web site, www.bnp.org.uk/, (click on the "Introduction" tab on the Home page).

The statement is factually inaccurate and hence misleading.

The BNP has had no seat on the London Assembly (it's the London Assembly, not the Greater London Assembly) since Mr Griffin expelled Richard Barnbrook last year, following Richard's call for an inquiry into alleged wrongdoing at the top of the party. 

Furthermore, I strongly suspect that the BNP now has fewer than 100 councillors, even if one includes parish councillors within the total, a practice which runs the risk of making the party a laughing-stock.

Let's keep the party real, Mr Griffin.
