Quote <b>C_W</b> <i>"I don't know about a freeze, but they recently had to change their rules as they only allowed white people to join. That's just plain illegal here, so they were forced to allow anyone in.

Not that I can imagine a bunch of black people rushing to join (although, surprisingly, they do have quite a lot of support from Sikhs. Go figure)."</i>

The freeze is in place until such time as they ratify a new constitution which reflects the recent court ruling. That'll be interesting - trying to get an "all welcome" clause past the seried ranks of knuckle-draggers that constitute their membership.

I was wondering at the time though, that when you have a small party like the BNP, what's to stop thousands of ordinary non-bigots from joining and forcing the party to change its policies. Stealing the party's forum from within. Imagine - if enough of us joined we could change the BNP into a radically cuddley party that sponsored immigration, multiculturism and internationalism.

I think it would be brilliant if, as soon as they get their new constitution sorted, they were inundated by twenty thousand applications from black Britons (if I can use the "B" word without coming over all Wankinaround).

Seriously - what's to stop us? (apart from the current freeze)
