All this could be avoided if they actually bothered to read the articles, and not just assume the headline tells the whole story…. We think this is what is known as ‘hairtrigger reactionism’…

Just three days remain until the General Election, where the British National Party hopes to make significant gains, and secure its first Members of Parliament.

But on the other side of Griffin’s pre-election bluster is a sinister web of secrets, paranoia and suspicion, as party morale sinks and people leave in their droves, despite Griffin’s lies about their ‘increased popularity’.

Speaking exclusively to One Million United is Dave Garner, 49 from the Midlands, who spent several years in the party before finally leaving early this year. He is now dedicating his time to exposing and shaming the party that he believed in for five years.

He says, “In the end my conscience couldn’t deal with all the racism. I joined as I thought it was about being patriotic and loving your country; I was wrong. I left them, then decided to help stop these people getting any power.”

Dave, a long-serving ex-serviceman, watched in disgust as party officials used shocking racism at meetings and events, and was privy to party secrets. He shares them with us today, in a last bid to keep the BNP out of British parliament.

“I’m still patriotic; I’m a ex-serviceman of 21 years and I support our brave armed forces and veterans. They will always come first. I have coloured friends that I served with and they are my friends for life. I was fucking livid when EDL  turned up in Wootton Bassett”, he says.

“I was 18 when the National Front crumbled in 1979 as they pushed to win a election seat; I hope the same happens now to the BNP. The main thing is to stop this group of hardcore Nazi-sympathising racists from brainwashing people and gaining power as Hitler did.”

Dave is keen to stress the emphasis on the BNP’s use of propaganda and lies to ‘control’ it’s supporters; ‘brainwashing’, as he calls it.

“I’m now out of the BNP, and feel foolish for falling for their brainwashing tactics. I despise them and what they stand for. They must be stopped. The BNP are becoming more ‘people friendly’ by frightening the public into thinking it’s the fault of other races that this country is in a mess. They employ propaganda tactics as used in Mein Kampf, just like Hitler; frighten the public and then offer them a solution.”

He also witnessed horrifying racism at party meetings and official events.

“At meetings is where you see the real racism; party members blaming the state of the country on the immigrants.  At one meeting in Blackpool, James Clayton (the election candidate for Blackpool) said he hated ‘black niggers’ the most in his ward. He detests black people with a passion.”

He added, “The biggest kick-off I saw came in a Merseyside meeting late last year when a Ghanaian UKIP member attended; all the Liverpool BNP members refused to attend, and out of over 150 attending less than 10 shook his hand. I shook his hand and chatted to him about his book. I felt embarrassed for him and ashamed of how he was treated.”

“That meeting was a turning point for me; I never attended a meeting after that. I hear the Ghanaian man has left UKIP and joined the BNP, despite James Clayton saying he will never allow him to a Blackpool meeting.”

During his time with the party, Dave also says he was asked about obtaining illegal firearms.

“Because I was an ex-serviceman I was asked if I can get hold of arms and ammunition by a prominent election candidate in the North. He said, ‘If things continue like this we may need them’.”

And despite it’s lies to the contrary, the party is not as buoyant as it might appear in the run up to this important election.

Speaking of the internal paranoia, Dave says: “Morale in the BNP at the moment is very low. They hate the new membership criteria change and they constantly worried about infiltrators into their ranks, so much so there is regular fall outs and disputes between members and accusations amongst the ranks. They even  have members attend UAF meetings.”

And the public’s disdain for them runs deep: “The BNP find it very difficult to find venues for their events. One, though – Body Image Fitness Centre in the North West is apparently used regularly for local, regional and national meetings. It’s a bigger venue to hold a larger capacity and has been used for the  annual party conference and most importantly they will use this venue for a forthcoming summer school, a training event for BNP officials.”

Dave is now actively engaged in combating fascism and spend a lot of his free time working to stop the BNP and it’s counterparts. He’s refreshed, and excited about the election, which he feels sure will be unsuccessful for the party in the wake of recent events.

“It was great to see Simon (Nicholson) come forward and spill the beans on the BNP. Another ex-serviceman duped by the racists in the British National Party”, he says.

“At meetings, no-one checks membership cards, so the audience is a mixture of BNP, English Defence League and National Front members. The speeches are always intended to scare the audience with the ‘threat’ of Islam and immigrants, that there’s some conspiratorial plan to change our living standards, and that Islam and immigration are to blame.”

“It all got too much for me in the end, and no-one ever answered my questions about would the commonwealth soldiers in our army be allowed to stay under a BNP government, despite their official stance on British troops.”

“I was so please to see the news of the EHRC decision regarding the membership criteria; they will be on their knees now! This will seriously affect their general election campaign and funds, which means they won’t be able to make that breakthrough they so desperately want.”

He takes a deep breath, let’s out a completely uncontrived sigh, and concludes:

“Just thinking about the BNP gets me angry now. I really hope groups like 1MU can continue to hit them where it hurts.”
