Tonights news revealed the entire BNP membership list has been leaked onto the internet !!
A police officer, more than a dozen soldiers, a vicar and a Chelsea pensioner have been named on a list purporting to comprise the entire membership of the British National Party.

They were exposed after bloggers posted around 10,000 names, together with home addresses, home and mobile telephone numbers, email addreses ,jobs and even hobbies on the internet.

The leak led some BNP members to fear that they may lose their jobs or face other reprisals

RMT is a backing a big protest against the fascist BNP this month, and offering a free lift to any RMT member who wants to join this important event. RMT's Annual General Meeting voted unanimously to back the protest against the BNP's 'Red, White and Blue' festival, recognising that the growth of the BNP is a threat to working-class unity and to trade unionism.

The coach leaves RMT head office at 8am and will return by 7.30pm. To book your seat on the coach, please contact Regional Council Secretary Steve Hedley by e-mail or by phone: 07846-266934.

Below, the organisers - Notts Stop The BNP - explain the background to the protest.

This resolution on Fighting The BNP was passed unanimously at last week's RMT Annual General Meeting.

This union believes that the fascist British National Party is fundamentally an anti-working-class party: it is also racist, anti-semitic, sexist and homophobic. Everything that the BNP stands for is against the interests of the labour and trade union movement.
