I've got a little list
So a couple of days ago, someone managed to hack the records and publish the membership list of the British National Party.
Now let me say this off the bat; you cannot cut it any other way but this, the British National Party are racists. They stand for the same sort of policies that my grandfather Kenneth Bridge was drafted into the army for to fight in the 1940s. They can try all this cock and bull story that they represent British interests. Well not this Brit. They are Nazis, no grey areas, no room to move, they are vile, disgusting racists.
The release of this list made me do a couple of things:
1. Laugh...yes ok it's a serious invasion of privacy as well but sunlight is the best disinfectant. One Police officer has been (rightly) suspended after his name was found on the list. Some people argue that it's a hypocrisy of a tolerant society to be intolerant of people's ideas, no matter how racist they are. I disagree. Tolerance as an ideal must have idealogical oppositions and ideas like fascism and racism are the opposites so I feel that argument falls down. In the end, hopefully people can be found out and they can be engaged as to their ideas and can be convinced as to why they're wrong.
2. The BNP have lost all ground when it comes to criticising anyone when it comes to data leaks. As if their insane policies that are tantamount to something Pol Pot would dream up weren't bad enough, they cannot handle basic secure handling of 10,000 records. I used to work for a company that dealt with 40,000 records daily and no massive data leaks ever there. Does that mean my old bosses will run for political office?
3. I worry about how much political capital and interest the British Nazi Party will try to get out of this. The following is a quote from BNP Chairman Nick Griffin
"The whole affair has blown up in the faces of the plotters and the anti-British traitors. The public are more eager for our message than ever, and many of our new website visitors will keep coming back, become committed nationalists, and join our ranks." (http://bnp.org.uk/2008/11/stop-press-s
Actually I reckon people have been logging on to see your response and keep tabs on the BNP's evil ways but that's just me. The thing to remember folks is that if you investigate the BNP to not get sucked into their ways. They are not the great hope for this nation but people Dr Goebels would sit down to dinner with. That quote above is from a man who has denied the holocaust and, if elected would try to teach revisionist history to our children and try to downplay the importance of the stand the people he calls "anti-British traitors" like my grandfather made against fascism.
