BNP Membership List Leaked

Heat rises over UK's web map of fascists

Right-wing extremists across Britain are bracing for violent repercussions after the British National Party's entire membership list was leaked on the internet.

And tech-savvy web users plotted members' addresses in red on a Google Map.

BNP leader Nick Griffin says the leak was an act of treachery by a disgruntled former BNP official, who may face jail time.

Ironically, the BNP is relying on Britain's Human Rights Act, which it opposes, to protect the privacy of its members.

The list, which is freely available on BitTorrent sites such as thepiratebay.org despite a court injunction, includes names, phone numbers, ages and home and email addresses of more than 10,000 BNP members, including children.

And the police response:

UK police forces and the prison service are scouring the list for serving officers, vowing to sack any they find, the Guardian reported.

LOL

So do fascist deserve privacy?

As much as I love the idea of Karma I think it may end up turning into a inquestion instead. Afterall there is such a thing as due process rights for everyone, and as long as they havn't commit any major crimes or aren't bigoted racist I don't think they should lose there Jobs or whatever.

Politics are totally irrelevant to the jobs these individuals hold. I don't like the BNP, but as a legitimate political party, they have the same rights as every other party - and members of the BNP certainly have a right to privacy, unless their privacy is somehow forfeited after due process of the law.

At the same time, however...

This is funny , the list is published on the web by some BNP people who objected to Griffin not getting rid of the BNP people who had posted a list of anti-BNP people and their names and addresses on the web .
