DANGER! DON’T GET CONNED BY THE BNP!

The BNP are fascists

The BNP is a fascist political party with links to extremist, violent Nazi groups. BNP members have been caught on camera making Nazi salutes, joking about the Holocaust and praising Hitler. They claim to stand up for democracy and freedom of speech but inside the BNP their leader Nick Griffin is dictator like Hitler, making all decisions himself.

The BNP are criminals

Although the BNP have only 48 councillors this includes an astonishing amount of serious criminal convictions. This party of ‘law and order’ who will ‘get tough’ on criminals have had councillors with convictions such as wife beating, football violence, drug possession, rape and burglary.

The BNP are useless

Anywhere the BNP get elected they do little or nothing for ordinary people. They tell lies to people to get elected, as former BNP Councillor Maureen Stowe admitted, then don’t go to meetings, don’t listen to constituents and don’t care. The BNP are lying when they say they stand up for ordinary British people, when give the chance they do nothing.

DON’T VOTE BNP!
