The British National Party leader, Nick Griffin, was last night accused of "sickening" exploitation of the memory of a murdered black teenager, Anthony Walker, who was killed in a Liverpool park.
Mr Griffin was accused of besmirching Walker's memory to stoke up votes ahead of the European elections this week. In a broadcast posted on YouTube, he stands at the spot where the 18-year-old was murdered in July 2005, and says the killing has been labelled as racially motivated but that "this is not the case".
"This was made out as a Stephen Lawrence-style cause célèbre," he says. "The truth is, you talk to any one around here, that isn't the case. Everybody says Anthony Walker was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It wasn't a racist murder and there's no doubt about that."
He goes on to describe a CCTV camera trained on the park entrance as "ridiculous politically correct expenditure on one murder".
Two cousins, Michael Barton, 17, and Paul Taylor, 20, were jailed for Walker's murder, which the judge described as "a racist attack of a type poisonous to any civilised society".
Walker was waiting at a bus stop with his white girlfriend and a black friend when the pair were subjected to "a torrent of racial abuse", according to police. Although they walked away, they were followed in a car and ambushed. Walker's friend and girlfriend managed to escape, but he was struck with an ice pick that was left embedded in his skull.
Yesterday a spokesman for the anti-racist organisation Searchlight said: "Nick Griffin's sickening attempt to smear the memory of Anthony Walker – an innocent boy killed because of the colour of his skin – for his own political purposes reveals the BNP for what they are: racist thugs."

SEARCHLIGHT AHH....SELF RIGHTEOUS FOLK
ALWAYS UP AGAINST THAT GRIFFIN BLOKE
WAITING VULTURES IN THE SKIES
TO MANIFEST SOME VISCIOUS LIES
CHARACTER ASSASSINATION
POLITICAL DEGRADATION
ROTWEILLERS POSED FOR THE ATTACK
READY TO STAB THE BNP'S BACK
WHOSE BEHIND THAT NEGATIVE BUNCH
THE RICH AND RUTHLESS THAT'S MY HUNCH.!
shouting again, are you down on your luck
Did you mean vicious in line number four
spelling so crap school showed you the door
I'm sure that you know that viscious means thick
but I won't use that to give you some stick
So vote BNP get rid of that Pole
And back to TV and keep claiming the Dole
Strange how Searchlight doesn't seem to want to do much against the racial crusades in Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan eh?
As for the BNP, I was waiting for them to blow themselves out of the water and with campaigns like this, it seems likely that in a few years, the BNP will be memory to us all.
And this obfuscation on the motive for the poor lad that died is a long play by some people to make things like this totally acceptable, it makes a murder seem irrelevant, it gives people with already a racist mindset, further reason to cross that line and stop thinking of black and brown people as equal human beings...
(The medical term for the condition is Tourette's Syndrome.)
Funny name that, isaacbrown. The "brown" part makes sense (as in "shirt") but the "isaac" is a bit strange and must get you some funny looks among the sort of people you hang out with. Have they ever asked you to lower your trousers so that they can check?
Did the smear campaign take its first steps in the Cabinet Office, let's say last July or August, after the election of Richard Barnbrook to the London Assembly in May? Did the two people initially liaise with their opposite numbers, or whatever passes for them, in the Conservative and LibDem Parties? When cross-party agreement was reached, did they take the case to the Controllers of BBC News and Current Affairs for TV and Radio, and the national newspaper editors and proprietors? Did it ripple out from there?
Is it, therefore, a genuine conspiracy?
Lovely weather for it, eh?
Given its enthusiasm for the death penalty, I wonder whether the BNP would advocate hanging the two murderers in this case. Questioned on this point regarding the Stephen Lawrence murder some years back, and David Copeland the bomb enthusiast, a BNP luminary went all evasive and muttered something about "extenuating circumstances." (Get my drift? Know what I mean?).
The Daily Mirror, the Sun, The Express, The Labour and Tory party, the TUC, Unison, all donate to the Searchlights bank account ensuring the 'enemy within' remains solvent. Lenin / Stalin killed 60'000'000m Russians using Marxism as the tool. What makes you believe you're safe? Well I can tell you this much: being a 'liberal' is no defense whatsoever against Marxism when it gets going properly.
(60m people dead - this century - in just one country) (Marxism).
It's happening right now people. And you neoliberal-hippy types are assisting Searchlight by denouncing the BNP in tune with every falsified, or wildly exaggerated rumour you hear about them. The Eddy Izzards' of this world were referred to by Stalin as 'useful idiots'. Are you really going to keep acting like lemmings by deliberately NOT voting for the BNP on June the 4th?
Here's your link to the Marxist led destruction of middle-class America. Video released (1 week ago)

leave the BNP alone Britain needs them to survive
Can't add much to that except to touch on any last ditch attempt by them to commit electoral fraud.
As well as evidence that cardboard boxes are being used instead of steel ones in some voting centres, there is another possible ploy.
It only needs two colluding, corrupt officials to vote in the names of those who do not turn up to vote and so is likely to happen near closing time. Answer - vote late in the day, watch for suspicious activity, demand first to see that your name has not been struck off the electoral register and report to the police if it has!
Perhaps then the thousand chimpanzees and their thousand keyboards can be redeployed back to the more worthwhile attempt of recreating an historical literary work.
Rather that is than spamming The Independent with their pathetic attempts to talk up support for their discredited national socialist cause.
Those behind this effort should perhaps also take time to reflect that their skin colour is merely due to melanin deficiency. This originates in a faulty gene common to all Aryans (Citation required).
So you want to eradicate the middle classes do you? Hmm, that's not going to go down too well with Tory voters.
Did you contribute to the lattest attack on the middle classes of America this week? Link below!

Your hysterical stereotyping of those you call thugs because you disagree with them is just going to convince more people that The BNP are onto something.
If Britain belongs to whites because that was the case thousands of years ago, by that logic we ought to empty America of the vast majority of its inhabitants and send them back to Europe and Africa. Smart.
Well at least your Editor has the courtesy to allow all points of view in the comments section. Thank you.
A look into the background of Searchlight and company uncovers some rather nasty facts. Turn over any so-called anti-fascist' stone and out crawls an anti-White racist!
I notice now that it is just 'a spokesman' from Searchlight; now that people are seeing through all the lies and smear tactics.

What is it with you anti-fascists who post here? Do you seriously think that abusing those you disagree with as bigots (or thugs, Nazis, thickos, knuckle-draggers etc.), is going to change their minds. You are going to have exactly the opposite effect to that which, I presume, you intend! Why do none of you pick apart their Economic Policy, for example? That, IMHO, is fertile ground for a debate which would be winnable. Abuse will win you nothing!
Maybe that is the point with anti-fascists - you want to feel smugly superior without troubling yourselves about facts.
Until the British Polity starts to seriously address the concerns of poor whites (on such things as recent uncontrolled immigration, preferential treatment of immigrants compared to the poor indigineous etc.), the BNP is not going to go away - IMHO it is going to get stronger. Hitler did not gain power because he had a majority of the Reichstag as Nazi members but because he had fertile ground for swaying those who disagreed with many of his Policies but could see the justice of some of his points. They thought that he was a "useful idiot" who they could use in troubled Economic and Social times but found themselves out-smarted.
Britain is now moving into similar times, in some ways, and posting abuse is not going to make the problems go away!
I agree your lordship. The new deal is good But he new parliament is better.
I thank you
