£200 in used notes. That was the price that two goons from the Labour regime’s secret political police thought would buy the cooperation of the BNP’s internet technician Simon Bennett.
While we are grateful for the donation — which Simon paid straight into the Truth Truck Appeal — the approach has a very sinister side, particularly as it is not the only one made to BNP members recently.
Coming on top of the recent arrest of Tory immigration spokesman Damien Green, Special Branch’s attempt to recruit informers within a perfectly legal political party is a worrying indication of the increasingly totalitarian bent of Labour’s politicised police force.
Mr Bennett agreed to meet the two men after he had earlier been stopped and briefly held by police at Liverpool when returning from a business trip to Northern Ireland.
Their initial approach seemed reasonable enough — as is generally the case when the Special Branch (Britain’s political police) try to recruit an informer.
Pointing out that Mr. Bennett’s position made it possible that he would be one of the first to spot a potential extremist, the SB men asked if he would report anyone in the party he came across breaking the law.
Naturally Mr Bennett said that he believed the prospect of finding such an individual was almost non-existent, but also confirmed that he would do the same as any other law-abiding citizen in such unlikely circumstances.
Having told Nick Griffin and several other key officials about the approach, Mr Bennett was given the ‘OK’ to continue and to see how long it took them to get down to their real business. He met them several times over the following few weeks and, once again, they didn’t do anything other than say how much they agreed with large amounts of BNP policy.
When they called him to another meeting in a local pub, however, one of the two handed Mr. Bennett a menu. Inside were several photos of individuals and he was asked if he could identify any of them. He said that he couldn’t and gave the menu back, only to have a roll of twenty pound notes shoved into his hand.
“From the way they manoeuvred me into sitting in a certain chair, I’m pretty sure they were filming me,” Mr Bennett told a member of our news team.
“I’ve no doubt that the idea was that they could then blackmail me by threatening to let my party colleagues know that we had been meeting, and claim that I had given them information.
“They asked me to give them an account of a top level Euro election campaign planning conference I was about to attend.”
The SB men told Mr Bennet that they had prepared a safe house for him because he had to “be protected.” Mr Bennett was given the code name ‘Nicky Price’ and told to text in a message to the agents every night “to let them know he was safe.”
“The safe house story was obviously made up,” Mr Bennet said. “They said they were on their way back down from Windermere, which told me that they had gone up there to carry out surveillance on the premises where the meeting was to be held, and most likely to bug it with a listening device.”
(The meeting went ahead as planned, but the attendees, all warned in advance, were careful to ensure that they did not discuss anything indoors which they did not want the Special Branch to know.)
“That’s far enough for me. I’ve donated their bribe to the party, and am going public so they know that they have no hold on me. I think it’s disgusting that, at a time when they still haven’t caught the Islamic extremists who groomed and duped a Special Needs youngster into trying to bomb the Giraffe restaurant in Plymouth, the secret police are wasting time and taxpayers’ money trying to subvert the British National Party.”
IN ULSTER TOO
On Monday night, a separate approach was made to our Northern Ireland regional organiser, Kieran Dinsmore, when two plainclothes Special Branch officers followed him home from work.
They told him that they knew that the BNP is legal and above board, but claimed to be worried about one particular individual member. They then asked Mr Dinsmore if he would be willing to “help us keep an eye on things” by providing them with a list of everyone who attended local meetings.
Mr Dinsmore politely but firmly told them to go away, and reported the approach to BNP head office first thing in the morning.
“I know their game — all friendly and reasonable to start with, but once they’ve got you to give them just a few scraps of harmless information that they could get simply by reading Freedom, they use a mixture of threats and bribes to force you to tell them anything they want.
“Even though we have nothing to hide, it’s wrong to have Jacqui-boot Smith’s political police spying on a peaceful political party — especially on behalf of a Labour government that has put Republican mass murderers into power in Northern Ireland.”
SELF-RESPECT
Our national intelligence officer, Lance Stewart, himself a former senior police officer, confirmed what both Messrs Bennett and Dinsmore said.
”It’s exactly what the Branch do. They want to get hold of people as regular sources of information. They approach you with a suggestion that seems so reasonable that it’s almost rude to reject them, then work on building up some sort of relationship.
“It can take them weeks or even months, but they only start to ask things their victim would rather not tell them once they’re so far down the line that any refusal is dealt with by threatening to tell their friends and colleagues that they’ve been ‘grassing’ on them.
“The best thing to do is to turn them down straight away, but even if an individual has been conned and sucked in, all he or she has to do to stop it and to break free from their clutches is to come and tell us. We don’t mind how long it’s been going on, all we want and need to do is to get the victim out of their clutches, give them back their self-respect, and halt any flow of private information.”
TWO MORE APPROACHED
We can also report that we are already aware of two other BNP members — one of them not even a local official — who have been approached by Special Branch officers under the guise of making inquiries into people’s safety after the List leak, in an attempt to recruit them as informers.
We are grateful to have been told and glad to have helped them to deal with the unwelcome attentions of the secret political police. In these two cases, however, we have agreed to conceal the identities of the failed entrapment victims.
BNP leader Nick Griffin echoes the advice of Lance Stewart: “With more than 10,000 members for them to pick from, the chance of any one person getting an approach like this is really vanishingly small, so there’s nothing to worry about.
“Of course we would always expect our members to report anything dodgy — we’ve several times reported journalist infiltrators who have been spouting juvenile nonsense about ‘direct action’. I myself reported the BBC ‘mole’ Jason Gwynn for advocating attacking a mosque.
“But there’s no comparison between fulfilling the basic duty of a law-abiding citizen on the good side, and being sucked into the seedy and frightening world of the political police informer.
“I asked Simon Bennett to travel a little way down that road in order to be able to show the naïve and innocent what sort of things the Labour regime is pushing our police force to do, and this affair has done just that.
END THE NIGHTMARE
“In all probability there are other individuals out there right now who have been sucked in completely and are now wracked with guilt over letting down their friends and colleagues. Fortunately, there is no need for anyone to bear that burden.
“All anyone who has been groomed by the Special Branch into becoming an informer has to do to put it all behind them is to come and tell us. A simple telephone call to a Regional Organiser, to our National Inquiry line, or an email to fightback@bnp.org.uk is all it takes to start sorting things out.
“We’re not worried about what Smith’s Snoops have been told, or how long it’s been going on. We want to get their snouts out of our lawful business, and will not hold anything against anyone who comes clean. We’re not even going to shout about it, but we do need to be told.
“Finally, for the large numbers of non-member readers who may not have come across this sort of thing before except in novels, please ask yourselves if you are happy living in a country where a politicised police force spies on opposition parties and arrests their activists, MPs and leaders. And, make up your mind to do something to help restore the democracy for which so many of our people have sacrificed so much.
“You could make up your mind to join the British National Party right now, or at least make a donation to help our fight back against Labour’s creeping tyranny. Persecuted BNP teacher Mark Walker needs £3,000 in legal fees URGENTLY to get his appeal finalised. Civil Liberty has already found £500 but it’s up to us to give him the rest.
“Mark has a young family to look after this Christmas, so it wouldn’t be fair to leave him to find that money. He’s at the frontline of our fight, at the frontline of the struggle to preserve your freedom. Please hit back by helping him now. Thank you.”

What if Bennett only owned up because he'd been spotted?
Without doubt the BNP is heavily infiltrated. I can imagine 5 years from now they'll all stand up and own up like this...
"The BVG hearing became necessary after it emerged that a number of high-ranking NPD members due to give testimony in the court proceedings had worked as undercover agents for the secret service. When the court found this out by accident, it suspended proceedings last January. The October 8 hearing was scheduled to clarify the extent to which the secret service influenced the activities of the NPD,"

I wonder if the skint Gary Raikes in Scotland would be able to turn down the money.
I know from friends up North that he is a liar and only interested in himself. And with a drink problem he has personality traits that even the most inexperienced SB man could exploit.
A skint, Drinker in charge of the BNP in Scotland. Very worrying.
I think its pretty certain that Mike Bell is.
Bell is always vanishing on trains, claims to be employed but isn't, and he's very disruptive. I saw the diary where he plotted Ebanks downfall a whole 12 months before it happened. He devised the splitting of the Birmingham branch word for word in his little black book complete with drawings for a south Birmingham banner, he also sends BNP females disgusting and depraved text messages.
Bennett has been reading to many spy novels, he is a fantascist, either that or Gri££in made up the story for him to put on that blog to cause intrigue. Gri££in recently claimed that Frank Forte (the official BNP Comic) was approached by Searchlight offering money for info, I personally think it's all Gri££in bullshit/smoke screen tactics? What was Bennett doing in Ulster anyway?
Trust Gri££in to end it with a appeal for donations, 'poor' Mark Walkers family, bollocks the man was having sex with a school girl and looking at porn on the school's computer, his brother Adam is married to a Japanese woman!!!!
"A former teacher at a Shildon School, who was officially sacked recently on the grounds of his sickness record, has since been accused of having a sexual relationship with a former pupil. The details of the conduct between Mark Walker, who lives in Spennymoor, and the 17 year-old in question came to light after elements of an investigation into his behaviour were leaked to a regional newspaper."
More fantasy and bullshit from Griffin's idiots.

Frank Forte has served jailed sentences for embezzlement, fraud and corruption. If Gable offered him money he would definately take it.
I can't be a BNP member anymore. When I look at the parties they are all the same. Corrupt and self serving.
What about Adrian Woods. His own wife claims he works for SB and he lives 5 minutes away from Graham. Griffin booted him out last year.
I'm convinced Griffin and Darby recieve state payments to keep the BNP down. Look at the successes in some of the regions, and then look at their wrecking antics in those regions after they've had success.
This story is so crude that it's embarassing.
'“Of course we would always expect our members to report anything dodgy — we’ve several times reported journalist infiltrators who have been spouting juvenile nonsense about ‘direct action’. I myself reported the BBC ‘mole’ Jason Gwynn for advocating attacking a mosque.'
So the party knew Jason Gwynn was a Journo all along? Interesting.
Thats a load of crap about Adrian Woods, his ex wife made up a load of bollocks about him to get him kicked out of the party, she fucked off with her junkie boyfriend and her kids don't want anything to do with her, there were allegations of child abuse against her and her druggie boyfriend.
Every one of you is logged and bugged!!!
I spoke to my handler the other day and in return i got £500 xmas box.

I hope you donated it to the truth truck LMAO
Thatnk goodness the alertness of the Great Leader and his team has kept the BNP free of infiltrators. Not.
But this is a true account of how the SB work. I had much the same in the 1990s. I told my colleagues the moment the SB rang me.
The line on that occasion was 'concerned about your safety'. I told them straight I was not going to become a police plant and that I did not know of anyone doing anything illegal.
The police of course are not - as they will claim - trying to stop illegality. They want to encourage it - while pouncing at the ideal moment! A study of the Cato Street conspiracy reveals how old it all is and is a classic of the genre.
There was an excellent Robert Redwood film on TV about the CIA. He warns a trainee never to risk their necks or careers for an asset who are discardable scum.
Be warned!
I hear Jason Gwynn is working as a Grouse beater,Opps
Good God, you lot are so on the ball... Nothing gets past you!
Yes, I only came clean because I was "spotted" meeting them in a remote pub in Boscastle, Cornwall. Boscastle is overflowing with BNP members in mid-winter!
Also, yes, I am a fantasist. I crave attention and I read too many Batman Comics!
Grow up and face facts. You lot are just gutted they paid me more than you, and I did not allow myself to get sucked in and spat out, lol.
Merry Christmas.

Don't worry, Simon, or should that be SB LOL
You're in good company, Griffin and Darby have been narks for years.
So Special Branch are this simplistic in their approach to grooming informers are they.!
Could this be an attempt to divert attention from the real SB plant at the top of the organisation?
Meanwhile more money is begged for.
"What about Adrian Woods. His own wife claims he works for SB and he lives 5 minutes away from Graham. Griffin booted him out last year."
Well, what about Adrian Woods? Whoever you are you are either deliberately seeding grotesque disinformation about a highly-valued nationalist expelled by the highly-unstable and increasingly disreputable Griffin (in that case you are someone who knew Mr Woods and fell out with him over something or other and are pursuing a vendetta against the man), or you are spreading ill-gained rumours put originally put out by Griffin and his Gang of Crooks to make less intelligent BNP members swallow the expulsion.
All those allegations that you quoted in your shit-strirring are utter lies and originated from his hate-filed and junkie ex-wife to get rid of him out of her life. To accept these lies then you are no better than the low-life junkie filth who came up with the same disgusting lies, making you little better (and I thought nationalists were oposed to low-life junkie filth in the first place). Mr Woods is not and never has been associated with SB or any other kind of state intelligence. I know Mr Woods and I would trust the man with my life (how many would you trust with your life Mr Anon?).
Listen, Anon, we don't buy your poisonous crap as any one decent whose been in the Movement long enough knows Adrian Woods for the loyal, professional and dedicated comrade that he is - and always will be. Once that crook Griffin and his rag-bag tatty army of hangers-on and miscreants are finally evicted from the BNP there will always be a place for comrades as good as Adrian Woods.
In the meantime I request you not to spread any further false poison against Mr Woods, unless you wish to provide us with your name and address to discuss the situation amicably.
its not the bnp who are narks this proves it .its more likely to be a few people who post on this blog who would not know loyalty if it hit them in the face
"All those allegations that you quoted in your shit-strirring are utter lies and originated from his hate-filed and junkie ex-wife to get rid of him out of her life. "
If what you say is true I apologise. It was told to us by Griffin who also claimed Adrian Woods had been stalking Sadie Graham.
"would not know loyalty if it hit them in the face"
You mean like Griffins loyalty?

I can vouch for the disgusting and depraved text messages that he sends to femails as one recipiant of such messages was once my friend.
keith axon.
Adrian Woods has been closer to Searchlight than he has been to SB.
Ask anyone over at Croydon NF and then Croydon BNP.

also, check out young BNP below as they use 3 non whites in their logo:

If by Croydon BNP you mean Bob Gertner, he will tell you anyone is a wrong-un to take the spotlight off himself.
I thought BNP members were not allowed in the police anyway??

Apologies accepted Anon - I am sure that Mr Woods who visists this site also will accept your apology also.
I respect your honour and decency in admitting to what was a mistake as you say that you heard these allegations from Griffin himself. It takes a real man to admit to personal mistakess and to apologise for them. I rspect that. That's someting that Nicholas Griffin and some of his associates would never do as they think that they are far too big, far too clver and far too important to ever admit to personal errors or to ever apologise for anything that they have done. The Laws of Karma will catch up with them eventually - and like all of us who are here they shall be punished for their crimes and violations of justice and the basic codes of decency.
I am sure that Adrian Woods himself will be happy to explain his past situation - though I cannot speak for him as to when he would want to do that publicly.
The fact is that Adrian Woods suffered at the hands of a particularly brutish and callous ex-wife who abused her relationship with Mr Woods to enable her to take a selfish path in life. Griffin, for some inexplicable reason (s), believed the lies and got rid of him.In an instant both Mr Griffin and the BNP lost the professionalism that had been built up within its Security Team and it has never recovered.
Mr Woods looked after the personal security of Ms Graham at times so he could never have been accused of harassment or stalking of her!
Mr Woods has suffered a lot because of this but he won't be beaten into submission ,and I am sure that many of those who have been done wrong by Mr Griffin & Co will one day have their day.
Decency, Truth, Honour, Respect, Professionalism, Comradeship and Real Nationalist Principles will one day see the light of the day within the BNP.
Could it be that BNP branches that do well in Tory areas are held back by HQ? Epping Forest branch have 9 Councillors but get nothing but trouble from their leaders.Even their Blog has had to be discontinued.
"Pointing out that Mr. Bennett’s position made it possible that he would be one of the first to spot a potential extremist, the SB men asked if he would report anyone in the party he came across breaking the law."
FPMSL, they only approached Bennett as he is a complete muppet who thinks he is something special.

Griffin hates success or anything that threatens his money and leadership. What has Griffin ever achieved electorally? NOTHING, and the only reason he wants europe is for the money.
Adrian used to run the Surrey Border Front SDF, he attend Croydon BNP meetings, they attended his meetings. I personally don't think he had any thing to with Special Branch. He fell out with Griffin over the running of the bar at the Red, White & Blue some years ago, but I think they are mates again. He was seen at this year's R,W&B.
Some of my best friends have big boots and boozy breath !!!
What is it about Croydon? Gavin Medd-Hall, the anarchist-cum-animal rights activist who was recently convicted, was involved with the NF in the 1980s. And a friend of John Merritt/Adrian Woods. State or what?
Didn't Griffin enter the BNP via Croydon. I think we should be told.
Griffin did make a early re entry into the BNP by speaking at a Croydon BNP branch meeting back in 1995, but they ended up having to pay for his petrol (he was living in Wales by then.) He spoke exclusively about the Holohoax at that meeting, which he has compleletly dropped and distanced himself from now! He then dropped a very respected long standing member of the Croydon branch in it during the Rune trail.He used the Rune trial to raise his profile in the party and make himself a hero to the Racial Nationalist cause. He used and abused this branch on his slippery journey up the ranks of the BNP, as he did with subsequent branches and people after he had finished them. Croydon branch was one of the biggest backers of John Tyndall in the leadership contest in 1999 and Chris Jackson in 2007!
there are 2 adrian woods 1 wood 1 woods and ya mixing them up on here bartxx

Confirm Medd-Hall was NF in about 1986- and engineered along with the spook Merritt the splitting on the then NF Branch -and the sacking of Dean, the local organiser. Medd-Hall was thuggish even then
Tim Hepple part 2 anyone?
So why all this comment about Croydon Branch twenty years ago? Who exactly would know about Gavin Medd-Hall as well as John Merritt and Adrian Wood? I can think of only one Croydon nationalist still around and up to now I have not commented. Special Branch (SO15 as they are now) are posting comments on the site to wind things up. Doubtless it would be fascinating to be able to run credit checks, look at criminal records on the PNC and undertake ludicrously expensive surveillance on people who may be dubious, but as none of us can, unless you have hard evidence, do one. One thing is for sure you would not get any useful information from the SB, as they are too twisted.
Medd-Hall. Is there any truth to the rumours surrounding his leaving the NF and the fate of a cat?
It seems that some wish to stir the sh*t on this forum for poor old Gavin Medd-Hall. Whatever happened in the past he got sent down for 8 YEARS because of his support for a group the government dosen't like. Hardly a reward for being a good agent.
Remember, "divide & rule" is what the establishment does best.
