it is the prison service which makes all applicants sign a declaration. But the police force have it in their national constitution that you can't be a member.

The prison service specified the BNP, the National Front and Combat 18 as groups falling within this category. Applicants for positions in the prison service must sign a declaration confirming: "I am not a member of any of the groups or organisations listed, nor any other with racist philosophy."
Some organisations and firms have dismissed members on the basis of BNP membership. In a leading case, Serco, which supplies transport services to public bodies, was told by the court of appeal it was entitled to dismiss a bus driver after he was elected a BNP councillor. The court said the employee "was treated less favourably not on the ground that he was white, but because of a particular non-racial characteristic shared by him with a tiny proportion of the white population, that is membership of and standing for election for a party like the BNP".
Drone, I think this pretty much answers your question.
