    Irish Civil Servants can't be members of a political party. Not sure of police/army.

    Posted by Nick Griffin
    The release of the list is a breach of the Human Rights Act.

    Posted by House of Parliment
    Article 14
    Prohibition of discrimination

    The enjoyment of the rights and freedoms set forth in this Convention shall be secured without discrimination on any ground such as sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, birth or other status.

    Good old Nick and his selective memory. P.S I am not in favour of the release of the list, although I do not feel the BNP has any true political aims not rooted in old fashioned racism and discrimination.

    I think the British army are barred from being members of political parties.

    In all honesty, the BNP knew this was going to leak eventually.
    According to the BBC news report, they knew someone had it for a while.
    Even with a court injunction, things like this get out eventually on to the net.

    BBC News Report: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7736405.stm

    Look at the latest book the Scientologists have a ban against in England. It can't be bought there for now!
    There's not a hope it hell of getting it banned in the USA.
    (The Complex: An insider exposed the covert world of the church of Scientology - John Duignan - Irish person)
    I went a bought a copy of it yesterday in Waterstones.
    News: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/11/amazon_pulls_scientology_expose/
    Thats going to leak onto the net too. Why do they still try with injunctions in this day and age!
    Folk should consider that everything is a possible leak!

    In this day and age, if your on a list and the group/org' is not accepted in normal circles of decent society, you have to expect a leak more so sooner or later.

    Now to leave the email addresses where the Nigerian 419 scam artists can find them and watch (well imagine) the hilarity that ensues....

    On a serious note I don't see the problem unless your job doesnt allow membership of political parties. Even then can people be sacked using a document which has been leaked illegally (data protection and all that). If I was a member I wouldn't feel the need to hide my beliefs...Strange.

    Known members of the BNP are constantly bombarded with death threats.

    It's on TPB so aint going anywhere any time soon.

    Apparently there's kids listed on it, it's a bit of an ethical minefield IMO.

    Yes but I thought that the BNP aren't too fond of the Irish. The whole IRA thing and all.

    thats what i mean, we should be careful what's said, some random irish bloke living in the uk could take the drunken flak for it outside a pub some night by some BNP supporter.

    Coincidence or not? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_Mosley

    Have to say this list really shouldn't have been published. These people are entitled to their moronic views and their privacy. To those people who said if you're willing to joing a political party, you should be ok with having your details exposed, would you apply the same criteria to everybody else?

    Some of these people probably just got swept up in the hype. Bear in mind how malleable people become when immigration is high and economic issues start to go south. Now they'll be subject to hate campaigns and all sorts. Taste of their own medicine I hear you say. Well that's all well and good but these people probably have families.

    The list isn't current nor accurate so any young revolutionaries looking to vandalise property might want to check who's inside first.

    There's a good reason people in the BNP don't want their details released to the public domain. That reason is they will be under physical threat from those opposed to them.

    And before anyone says it, it really isn't me.

    If you think it is ok to publish that then you should also agree with publishing the same level of detail in the equivalent list of people who support the more extreme parties on the left. I would not agree with publishing either list to be honest.

    The far right have been publishing the names and addresses of individuals within the leftist community for years, with the intention of bringing harassment or worse upon them.

    Two wrongs don't make a right.

    But karmas a bitch...:D

    There's kids listed on it because members can buy a family membership for £40.

    Family membership sounds so wrong - signing your kids up to a political party they may grow to resent (and since it's BNP I imagine many would resent it.)

    Don't mind the names so much but I don't think it's right that all their contact details be published, because they could receive death threats, harassment etc.

    Eh, they are allowed to be members of a political party they are required to step down if they run for the council elections or the general elections, and I think should they fail to be elected they have the right to be reinstated to their position.

    "political affiliation" is one of the "protected data groups" under the UK Data Protection Act.

    I understand that. If someone is wanting to support a political party then why the shame in others finding out?

    its not the shame, its the discrimination that they will face that is the issue. Rightly or Worngly( and I believe wrongly) they support the BNP,
    but they know that by supporting this polictical party that they will be discriminated against, loose jobs, become outcasts to a degree in society...all because of their beliefs.
    like it or not they have the right to think this way and support the BNP and the right to support a political party without fear of reprisals.
