There’s a lot going on amongst British neofascism, split, fights and more splits. Hopefully I will have time in the future to cover them, but for now Unite Against Fascism has an amusing piece on some BNP splitters and their desire for better PR:
“A splinter group aiming to form a new-style version of the Nazi British National Party has been forced to recruit black supporters… from a well known photo library.
The soon-to-launch British Freedom Party has emerged from the BNP Reform group set up by disaffected former BNP members who have fallen out with BNP leader . The BNP Reform group gathered around former BNP webmaster , would-be challenger to Griffin and former BNP legal officer .
No real difference…
Aside from the in-party BNP squabbling over Griffin’s leadership and financial matters, the “reformers” seem to have no real differences with the fascist BNP and its poisonous politics.
court case brought by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission that has seen the BNP wriggle about over clauses in its once explicitly “whites-only” constitution.
Now some of the splinter group are forming a new party. An announcement from BNP Reform dated 14 October 2010 says:
We, in our group, always knew that the likelihood of a successful negotiation with the Leadership was a very remote possibility and had accepted the fact that a completely new party may have to be formed. That situation has now come to pass.

The answer is simple. There’s no need for any real black supporters: the BFP has found just the mixed race group it needs. It’s the “happy friends” from the iStockphoto picture library!
