Will the BNP Introduce an Ethnic Monitoring Form for Membership Applications?
Lawyers researching the issue of membership criteria for the British National Party in the face of the thought crime Council for Equalities and Human Rights (CEHR) attack have produced a suggested ethnic monitoring form to be used — in the event that membership is opened.
The purpose of the form is to more clearly define who constitutes the native indigenous population of Britain, and is based on the list of the principal ethnic groups and their categorisation as recognised by the Office of National Statistics for the 2001 census purposes.
These sorts of forms are commonplace in all central government departments, by all forms of local government and by all other public authorities including the CEHR (see example alongside).
In the proposed BNP ethnic monitoring form, some of these census categories have been renamed but in all other respects the ethnic groups remain the same.
Some census ethnic groups have not been reproduced in the BNP ethnic monitoring form and others have been relocated to different headings.
Where a UK court of law has recognised a particular racial group but the Office of National Statistics has not, that group has been included in this proposed ethnic monitoring form under the relevant heading.
This ethnic monitoring form has been completed in good faith by members of the English racial group to reflect the full extent of the groups they understand together form the Indigenous British racial group.
The authors have therefore endeavoured to utilise each group’s own means of identification rather than utilising the English form. Comments from non English fellow members of the Indigenous British racial group would be particularly helpful in establishing the final list of indigenous groups which together make up the Indigenous British.
Readers of this ethnic monitoring form will note that the English racial group is not further subdivided. This is because the accepted definition of English is as follows: “The English gave their name to England. People who have since come to England and merged into the English population and are indistinguishable from the English and claim no identity other than English and are accepted by the English as being one of their own, are English.”
In other words, there are no “hyphenated English” groups within the English category. This translates as: “You are either English and nothing else, or you are not English.”
Hence the Cornish are not a subset of the English racial group but a distinct people in their own right, with their own ancestry, language, traditions, culture, history, homeland, community and heritage.
This form is the view of its authors and is not the official view of the British National Party.
The BNP is fully aware that we have members who are not Indigenous British. The provisions of section 26 of the Race Relations Act do not require us to have a 100 percent ethnic group specific membership to qualify as an s26 association.
