Nick Griffin has now been expelled from the party that he led up until July of this year.
This is the main reason nationalism doesn’t work. The leaders of it all have massive egos.
BBC:
In a statement, the BNP accused him of trying to “destabilise” the party and “harassing” party members.
In a tweet, Mr Griffin took issue with the decision, accusing the party leadership of “plastic gangster games”.
Mr Griffin stepped down as party leader in July after 15 years at the top. The party saw its vote collapse in May’s elections, in which Mr Griffin lost his seat in the European Parliament.
The BNP said the decision to expel Mr Griffin had been taken by its conduct committee following an investigation after he stepped down as leader.
Here is the entire BNP statement.
Nick Griffin, the former Chairman of the British National Party (BNP) has been expelled from membership.
A Conduct Committee established by new Party Chairman, Adam Walker took the step in a letter to Mr Griffin today.
The Conduct Committee stated:
We believe that since being given the title of honourary President, you have put all your efforts into trying to cause disunity by deliberately fabricating a state of crisis. The aim of this was to again embroil the BNP in factionalism designed to destabilise our Party. This has included:
• Preparing a ‘report’ which tells lies about key Party personnel and finances and approving the leak of these damaging and defamatory allegations onto the internet
• Harassing members of BNP staff and in at least one case making physical threats
• Bringing the Party into disrepute through public statements
• Publishing, causing to be published or being reckless as to the publication of untrue allegations against the Party in the form of e-mails giving a false account of your bankruptcy situation
• Disobeying legitimate, constitutional instructions given to you by our Chairman, Adam Walker aimed at preventing damage to the reputation and unity of the Party.
Mr Jefferson of the conduct committee stated:
“This has been a difficult decision to make and not one taken lightly. Although we all appreciate that Nick has achieved a lot for our Party in the past, we must also remember that the Party is bigger than any individual.
“Nick did not adjust well to being given the honourary title of President and it soon became obvious that he was unable to work as an equal member of the team and alarmingly his behaviour became more erratic and disruptive.”
Mr Griffin had been Chairman of the BNP for fifteen years until leaving his position following an Executive Council meeting in July.
Mr Griffin had previously lost his seat as a Member of the European Parliament and has been declared personally bankrupt due to a series of legal bills he ran up over several years as a result of both pursuing and defending a series of long-running cases.
Ah well. The BNP has been doomed for a while now.
