Although the entire document should be read in full, it is worth noting these particular clauses within the constitution, and how they effect the individual members, and the party itself.

Watchdog begins BNP accounts probe
The Electoral Commission has launched an investigation into the accounting records of the British National Party, it was announced today.
The commission, which is the independent party finance watchdog, said it had began the probe into the party's 2008 statement of accounts.
This follows concerns raised about its "adequacy" by the independent auditor's report that accompanied it.
But the fact that an investigation had been launched did not mean there should be assumptions made over any alleged breaches, the commission stressed.
In January this year the commission began a review following the concerns raised, and this has now developed into the investigation announced today.
It follows comments by the registered auditors, Silver & Co, that the financial statements submitted did not "give a true and fair view of the state of the party's affairs at December 31, 2008".
The auditors went on: "In our opinion it cannot be said that the accounts comply with the requirements of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, as adequate records have not been made available."
A statement released by the commission said: "In January 2010 the Electoral Commission, the independent party finance watchdog, began a case review following concerns raised in the independent auditor's opinion about the adequacy of the 2008 statement of accounts of the British National Party.
"The case has now become an investigation.
"However, it is important to note - particularly during an election period - that no conclusion has been reached and therefore no assumption should be made as to whether a breach of the rules has occurred."

NWN: How many times have the BNP got to 'screw up' the accounts, resulting in fines that the members have to pay ? Perhaps if the BNP spent more than the 5% on elections, rather than on whatever they are doing with members money, they wouldn't be in such a 'fine mess' ?
And how many times have we and others warned BNP members, about Griffins 'riding roughshod' over Party monies, before they will listen ?

BNP official Mark Collett questioned over alleged threat to kill Nick Griffin
Police arrest publicity director accused by BNP leadership of plotting 'palace coup'
Nick Griffin and Mark Collett after winning a court case in 2006.
The BNP has been thrown into turmoil weeks ahead of the general election after a senior party member was arrested for allegedly threatening to kill Nick Griffin.
Key party officials have been summoned to a meeting tomorrow to discuss "urgent organisational matters" after Griffin and colleagues made statements to police resulting in the BNP's publicity director, Mark Collett, being detained on Thursday.
Collett, 29, had been due to contest Labour MP David Blunkett's Sheffield Brightside seat in the election but has been stripped of his position within the party which accused him of conspiring to launch a "palace coup" against Griffin.
The BNP alerted members to the crisis on Wednesday. In a message to party organisers, the party said its internal security team had been investigating "alleged financial irregularities" relating to leaflets and publications, the "leaking on to the internet of sensitive party information" and "feeding lies to certain anti-BNP blog sites" for several months.
"As a result of this investigation, a very serious matter has been uncovered," the memo said. "Earlier this week, the police were made aware of very serious allegations potentially affecting the personal safety of party chairman Nick Griffin MEP and senior management/fundraising consultant James Dowson. Formal statements have now been made to the police, including by Mr Griffin."
The message said it had been necessary to act immediately "to ensure the safety of those at risk".
The timing of the row is a further blow to the BNP as it looks to build on success in last year's European elections by winning its first seat in the House of Commons. Last month the party's membership policy was ruled to be discriminatory, despite the BNP having removed a whites-only clause in February.
The BNP said it was unable to provide further details of the alleged threat to Griffin – who is standing against Labour's Margaret Hodge in Barking and Dagenham – and Dowson for fear of prejudicing legal proceedings.
The memo continued: "Since political, as opposed to allegedly criminal, conspiracies are not illegal, we are able to say that Mark Collett was conspiring with a small clique of other party officials to launch a 'palace coup' against our twice democratically elected party leader, Nick Griffin, and that in order to create the artificial climate of disillusionment necessary for this to stand any chance of success, lies and unfounded rumours have been spread, and were planned to be spread much further."
Officers asked Collett to attend a Humberside police station last week. A spokeswoman said: "A 29-year-old man was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of making threats to kill. He was interviewed by detectives at Humberside police and he has been released on bail pending further inquiries. The investigation was initiated as a result of a complaint by the member of the BNP."
BNP regional organisers and key officials have been asked to attend an "urgent briefing meeting" tomorrow to discuss the events of the last few days and the party's future plans.
A spokesman for the anti-fascist organisation Searchlight said rows over finance, particularly Griffin's European expenses, had led to the conflict. Griffin and Andrew Brons were elected to European parliament in June 2009 but have been criticised in recent weeks for failing to publish details of their spending.
"Nick Griffin is constantly claiming he is the leader of a moderate, non-violent organisation," the Searchlight spokesman said. "It is difficult to see how he can square that assertion with his statement to the police that his own head of publicity has been plotting to kill him."
The Guardian attempted to contact senior figures within the British National party, but none were available for comment.

Trouble at mill !
Seems the good ship BNP is having a dash of the Titanics at the moment. Strong rumours of the sackings of Collett, Butler and Colgate abound. There is even a rumour that South African, Arthur Kemp, has also 'got the boot'.
None of them are real political heavyweights, but there aren't any heavyweights in the BNP anymore. Griffin ousted those years ago.
What they are, or have been, are Griffin sycophants.
We on this blog and many on the Nationalist Online forum have argued that Nick Griffin has major character flaws. The flaws include a rapacious greed for money and an ability to hate his friends. Not good when in the politics business.
Griffin has never allowed capable people to be in the BNP. Any people of promise are soon shown the door. Steve Smith , ex-Burnley BNP summed him up in his booklet - 'How it was done' - "Mr.Griffin struck me as both thoroughly shallow and but also extremely ruthless - but only to the extent of looking after himself."
The late John Tyndall didn't think that Griffin was 'working for the State'. Still, he would have to say that, as he allowed this charlatan to come back into the BNP from out of the wilderness. Griffin had been reduced to stacking shelves and was saved from that by John Tyndall, who he 'stabbed in the back' !
We at NWN would argue that Griffin could not have done more for our enemies if he had been working for the State !
By their fruits ye shall know them !

Infamous Halifax BNP meeting video found
Searching through old video camera tapes, we have found what I thought had been destroyed/taped over.
It's the video of the Halifax BNP meeting in 1996 where John Tyndall spoke and the reds attacked the meeting, including throwing an axe through a window at what turned out to be pub regulars.
There is video of cars that were attacked by the reds as well.
This is the first excerpt and 1 0f 7.
If only John Tyndall were alive today, we would not have to put up with a lot of the madness of 'Chairman Griffin' . Richard Edmonds would be very highly embarassed too !

It's not a joke .....................the BNP Friends of Israel exists !
'
We have warned the path that traitor Nick Griffin is leading the BNP. His 'slowly slowly catchee monkee' strategy has indeed caught a few monkeys, and they are all BNP members !
.
There has quite righly been much talk and condemnation of the English Defence League (EDL) use of the Israeli flag on their demos. So what is the difference here ?
.
The above pictures show Griffin looking towards his mentor, New York Rabbi Meyer Schiller, for direction .

Those of you who are members of this group that pray daily for Israel as I do, please remember Gilad Shalit, who has been held captive by Hamas for 4 years, in your prayers.

Well folks…As you know, I was concerned earlier on today, but in fact this whole scenario has taken quite a load off my back, because when people ask me questions now… as they often do… I can just refer them to Chris!However, if the questioner asks me about Israel or the Jews, I know Chris [...]

Potter, well done! Enjoyed watching you.
I'm beginning to wonder how many BNP members agree with Chris. I am not for hatred of any group of people and if the party is peopled with attitudes like this, it could lose my vote, sadly, as I heartily agree with its policies.Its understandable that the propaganda [...]
