EHRC challenges BNP membership criteria

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC)  has today initiated court proceedings against Nick Griffin and two other BNP officials  over theit's membership rules which limit membership to people who are "Caucasian' and defined 'ethnic groups' emanating from that race".
  The EHRC is concerned that the BNP is continuing to discriminate against potential or actual members on the grounds of their race despite being advised by the Commission in June that the party was in breach of the Race Relations Act.
  Let us hope that justice prevails.
