Nazi bomber on TV?

THE NAZI British National Party was to broadcast its message of race hate and bigotry on national television this week. The BBC defends its decision to put out the BNP's Euro election broadcast on the grounds that the BNP is a peaceful organisation which condemned the recent nail bombings in Brixton, Brick Lane and Soho. This is the BNP's record:

• JOHN TYNDALL, the party's leader: convicted in 1962 for training a paramilitary group, convicted in 1966 for possessing 30 wooden coshes, six metal bars and two saw blades, imprisoned in 1986 for incitement to racial hatred.

• RICHARD EDMONDS, the party's national organiser: convicted in 1993 for smashing a glass into the face of a black man because he was walking down the street with a white girlfriend.

• TONY LECOMBER, the party's national election agent: jailed in 1986 for three years for a nail bomb attack, and also convicted for assaulting a Jewish school teacher.

In Whitworth near Rochdale Nazis tried to blow up an Indian takeaway recently. In doing so they spray painted the walls with racist abuse, swastikas and "BNP". These people have no right to be heard. Everyone should protest to the BBC on 08700 100 222.

• Protest outside the BBC, Friday 21 May, 5pm, Portland Place, London W1.
