Although the BNP’s determined exposure of the lies and fabrications published in The Sun and the Mirror have effectively destroyed those papers’ credibility, this party will still be subjected to the most vicious and underhanded attacks possible in the run-up to June 4th, national organiser Eddy Butler has warned.

“As the election campaign hots up, our opponents will leave no stone unturned in their efforts to try and discredit the British National Party,” Mr Butler said. “The latest ploy is to post offensive material on Facebook accounts or blogs that are associated with our members, and then try and use these entries to smear the party by association.

“Our recommendation is that all responsible officers, councillors and candidates, particularly those more in the public eye, should immediately shut down their Facebook accounts and any unmoderated blogs for the remainder of this election campaign. The risk of being set up by the oppositions’ dirty tricks departments are so great that it is not worth the risk of leaving ourselves exposed to these attacks,” he said.

Mr Butler also dismissed talk of Post Office employees refusing to deliver BNP leaflets. “There are a handful of cranks dotted around here and there, but the feedback we have received indicates a delivery rate of well over 97 percent, so all the whining and made-up stories by the media are just that.”
