In a recent widely circulated e-mail sent
to potential but publicity shy members, Griffin added the footnote:
Some
people, because of the sensitive nature of their employment or other valid
reasons, cannot join a political party. So why not become a member of our
exclusive dining club, the Trafalgar Club? Members get exclusive gifts and the
chance to enjoy trips and fine dining with me and other like-minded people.
According to several disillusioned BNP
activists, the exclusive gifts are signed photos of Griffin and the trips &
“fine-dining” are allegedly organised through his MEP’s office – something
which OLAF,
the EU anti-fraud office, are said to be looking into.
Griffin
had promised to stand down as chairman in 2013 but now says he will continue
until at least 2015. His position as leader was made a bit more secure following the party’s
conference in Liverpool last month. This was a result of forced resignations by several key allies and last minute changes in conference format.
Membership remains in free-fall. A number of breakaway right-wing groups say they will be opposing BNP candidates in
municipal elections next year.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Once the BNP finally implodes it's replacement will almost certainly be a political wing of England's EDL and people in Wales will quickly realise that parties such as this are an 'English Disease' and so hopefully it will lead to an increased desire for more devolution if not full independence.
