A Message From BNP Chairman Nick Griffin
Operation Fightback is really proving a success in forcing the media to treat us fairly and impartially. But our efforts will come to nothing and the media will continue to bully us unless YOU make the effort to fill out the complaints forms below. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE FUTURE PROGRESS OF THE BNP!
The more media outlets we force to treat us fairly, the more reluctant other media sources will be to publish lies and smears. If we keep up the pressure, we could potentially eliminate a large chunk of future negative publicity. Do YOUR bit by taking 5-10 minutes to fill out the complaints forms below!

The Press Complaints Commission Code of Practice clause 1 reads as follows:
"Accuracy. i) The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information, including pictures."
On Monday 29th June the Daily Mail published an article headlined "Tinkering won't fix the broken social housing system", which contained the following inaccuracies:
1) The author, Harry Phibbs, falsely stated that the BNP is a 'bunch of neo-Nazi thugs'. Firstly the BNP is not 'nazi' in any way whatsoever. The BNP contains multiple members who fought against the Nazis in the Second World War. There is not a shred of evidence in existence that can back up the claim that the BNP is 'Nazi'. Secondly, the BNP is not made up of 'thugs' and, once again, there is not a shred of evidence to back up this claim.
2) Mr. Phibbs also claims that the BNP is 'National Socialist' - which again is a complete lie. There is not a shred of evidence to back up the claim that the BNP adheres to the ideology of National Socialism.
I demand a full written reply to my complaint. I wish to see the Daily Mail print a full retraction and apology and take the article off of their website immediately.
