The BNP is to get its accounts for 2008 investigated so the Electoral Commission has been telling the media. So the media has splashed it about suggesting that the BNP is running a kind of political ponzi scheme. I've become very suspicious of quangos lately but not for the same reason as the BNP. I think they think they are doing us all a favour by these antics. The truth is nearer to them being cackhanded helpers of the BNP cause.
According to the BNP they have had mega hits on their site. They are being watched daily by loads of people. So what do they say about their 2008 accounts?
Quote - "Responding to the EC’s announcement, BNP treasurer David Hannam said that he had spoken with that organisation’s head of enforcement, Natalie Birtle, earlier in the day. “I received an assurance from Ms Birtle that the investigation would be closed next week after we had met with her to discuss some final points. To open an investigation on the basis that it will be closed the following week, seems to me to be lacking in logic and indicates there must be some ulterior political motive,” Mr Hannam said. “This is further evidence of the increasing politicisation of the Electoral Commission, which is supposed to be an independent body,” he continued."
So basically there's nothing much wrong with the accounts. But the media is flagging it up as if it were. When will those opposed to the BNP get it into their thick heads that trying to undermine this party by furtive methods is never go to work. In fact it does the complete opposite.
Hard on the heels of the Electoral Commission and their antics come the church forums who are totally against inviting BNP candidates along. A lot of poncy clerics and self-righteous spokesmen talk about "giving them the oxygen of publicity". But all they do is pour loads of petrol on the BNP's network of publicity beacons. Surely these fools should know that they could out-debate a BNP candidate? Or are they so feeble-minded as to know what to say?
