The BBC was last night plunged into a row over claims of "disgraceful" bias in favour of the British National Party.
Anti-fascist campaigners Searchlight launched a formal complaint with BBC director general Mark Thompson after a series of broadcasts which, the organisation said, broke strict election rules on impartiality. Searchlight said the BBC was claiming the BNP were the main beneficiaries of the "anti-politics" sentiment caused by the MPs expenses scandal, when in fact the UK Independence Party and the Greens were ahead of the far-right party in the polls.
A BBC spokesman said the corporation "is obliged to treat all political parties... with due impartiality" and said the BBC "strongly contest" Searchlight's allegations.

I for one anyway am voting for the BNP, I am sick of mass Immigration to the UK, Islamification, the Breakdown of Law & Order and Political Correctness.
The latest poll puts the BNP on 5%, don't be fooled by this, many people are scared to reveal that they are going to vote for the BNP, I think they may get 10 - 12% of the vote.
It takes an impressive amount of credulousness to believe that a political party which allows none but white members is not racist, though the BNP seem to be having far more success in talking people into believing this self-evidently nonsensical tosh than they did with their previous party line of sieg heils and swastikas.
for their own survival rather than their demise.
That?s the appeal of the BNP for me.
What other party openly talks about it's patriotism?
What other party represents the interests of the native British people?
What party completely denounces the EU, and looks more to protect British interests first?
Why is it that when the native people stand up, they are told to shut up?
Why can't we natives have our own organisations setup to promote our race, culture and so on?
I'll say... those parties can shut up, and stop talking about democracy, and fascists. Our Parliament is full of the biggest bunch of bigots, and if this was China, they'd all be hanged by now!
Why do I call them bigots? because they are so indulged into this ideology of "multiculturalism" and "capitalism".
Would our "elected" politicians still be going on about changing the john-lewis list or would they still be abusing it, if the public had not known to this extent? Yes, exactly, still ripping off the taxpayer and have been for decades!
Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats... all I can say is that you can fool me, and your losing your core support as well. Labour & Conservatives, you have shamed the founders of your parties, you have ashamed them!
Ya all be good now ya here!
Getting to know the party from within, I can promise you there is no comparison with the BMP. In fact I don't think there is yet a political policy or attitude they have put forward that I do not agree with.
They are almost that thing we all dream of: THE COMMON SENSE PARTY.
I have noticed with horror how the BBC only EVER mentions the BNP as the beneficiary of public disquiet with Westminster sleaze. NEVER UKIP, which is far bigger and popular!
This BBC bias is corrupt and needs seriously investigating. But who will hold it to account?

If the BBC are "claiming the BNP were the main beneficiaries of the "anti-politics" then perhaps that is the case. Searchlight are only too pleased to spread lies and misinformation about the BNP, and typically they seek to supress the truth about the BNP.
Watch out for ukip being promoted by the BBC over the next couple of weeks - eg Farage is on a lot as with radio 4 Question Time last Friday and Saturday. He was on Today last week too.
The BNP is not the solution too anything, a wasted vote!
He has also been quoted (as opposed to misquoted) by the BBC many more times over the years than the leadership of the BNP has.
What Gerry and co. don't like is the fact that British Nationalism is, at long last, being given a little bit of a chance to tell it like it is. The media has begun to treat those who would dare to put the British first in the land that they made with a degree of fairness. This, of course, incenses the PC Crowd and all of those more concerned with spin, propaganda and the marginalisation of Britain's native peoples, than they are with the truth.

Read all about Searchlight and its extremist communist connections here: www.searchlightexposed.com
Financially speaking, Searchlight and the UAF are endorsed (sponsored) by the Tories, Labour and a selection of Marxist aligned trade unions. Below is a YouTube video on one of their demo's against the freedoms that the BNP wants to promote such as democracy & free-speech. I think Stalin referred to these types as 'useful idiots' as he slaughtered 23m Russians.

As for the BBC - yes they are pro-BNP and have been for several years. Ever since the left began to grow in numbers. They are doing their duty to the establishment and ensuring knuckle-dragging thugs are bolstered in order to intimidate those challenging the status quo. The BBC consistently hides the fascism of the BNP and buries every story of far-right terrorists (e.g. The case of Robert Cottage, found stockpiling the largest ever number of explosives found at a private residence and plans for a 'race war'). Meanwhile they scream and shout about how dangerous Muslims are, even though almost every story of extremists turns out to be a lie concocted by the police.
The BBC is incredibly racist because of how deeply entrenched it is with the powerful, and that is being acknowledged widely around the world now. They have completely lost their credibility and their refusal to air the Gaza appeal confirmed their place in the gutter with the reactionary right.
Answer this one , if a "Black Police Association" is acceptable without demonisation , why isnt the concept of a party representing the indigenous population ?
for their own survival rather than their demise.
That?s the appeal of the BNP for me.
Griffin appears to be ashamed of his true beliefs as he never mentions Hitler (a Spitfire as a backdrop for his campaign launch).
They try to say there was no Holocaust but you won't see anybody arriving at the Djemjanjuk trial to present their evidence (usually ludicrous statistics), nor have they ever been to any other trial.
In truth though if somebody knowingly votes for the BNP, i.e. in the full knowledge of what they stand for as opposed to the bland image and propaganda, there is something wrong with them.
I thought that The Spitfire was because of a separate item that they were discussing that day - not their campaign launch.
The BNP do not mention the "Holocaust" in their Policies so why would they attend the trial of an alleged murderer? This is the usual smear-by-association that the International Socialist mob come out with when talking aboiut the BNP which is National Socialist.
Your final sentence says it all - no attempt to refute their Policies but just doubt the sanity of anyone who does not agree with you Political View. Very convincing rhetoric!
