Hard right BNP use London bomb on leaflets

LONDON, July 12 (UPI) -- The extreme right wing British National Party faced criticism Tuesday for using a picture of the London bus bombed last week in an election leaflet.

"Maybe now it's time to start listening to the BNP," says the slogan accompanying a photograph of the wreckage.

At least 13 people died when the bus exploded in Tavistock Square last Thursday.

Home Secretary Charles Clarke said the BNP "have tried to cynically exploit the current tragic events in London to further their spread of hatred."

BNP Leader Nick Griffin told the BBC: "It is obviously a very graphic, horrific image which really sums up the cost of voting Labor."

9. Oh, I'll listen to the BNP alright

Their national chairman has said:

The electors of Millwall did not back a Post-Modernist Rightist Party, but what they perceived to be a strong, disciplined organisation with the ability to back up its slogan 'Defend Rights for Whites' with well-directed boots and fists. When the crunch comes, power is the product of force and will, not of rational debate.

He has also said:

I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that 6 million Jews were gassed and cremated or turned into lampshades. Orthodox opinion also once held that the earth is flat... I have reached the conclusion that the 'extermination' tale is a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda, extremely profitable lie, and latter witch-hysteria.

He hasn't always been against terrorism, of course. After the bombing of a gay pub in Soho, which claimed lives, he said:

The TV footage of dozens of 'gay' demonstrators flaunting their perversion in front of the world's journalists showed just why so many ordinary people find these creatures so repulsive

Just oozing with compassion, isn't he? He has been shown to have links with at least one convicted Italian far-right terrorist.

In fact, the BNP has employed terrorists itself. Tony Lecomber, their Group Development Director, has served time for possession of home-made explosives.

Everyone should listen to the BNP, and expose their fascism at every opportunity.
