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".
Poet and playwright Langston Hughes was also quizzed by McCarthy's chief counsel, Roy Cohn.

Cohn: ``Put one more 'S' in the USA to make it Soviet. The USA, when we take control, will be USSA then.''

Hughes: Will you read me the whole poem?

Cohn: I do not have the whole poem. Do you claim these words are out of context?

Hughes: It is a portion of a poem.

Cohn: Do you claim that these words distort the meaning?

Hughes: That is a portion of a poem and a bar of music out of context does not give you the idea of the whole thing.

....

Cohn: Have you ever attended a Communist Party meeting? I ask this again because perjury is a very serious crime.

Hughes: Not to my knowledge.

If these men do there jobs I see no reason to fire them. This is a witch hunt of the highest order.
