Just when I was thinking that life was slowly returning to normal within the BNP another leading figure has stepped forward to call on Nick Griffin to resign as party leader. John Bean, a veteran nationalist and editor of the BNP magazine Identity, has written to Griffin asking him to stand down in order to save British Nationalism.

In a letter to Griffin, published by Eddy Butler, Bean lists a number of failings within the party. He goes on:

"It is highly likely that an opposition Nationalist party will shortly be formed which would draw off more disgruntled BNP members, with the result that neither such a new party nor the present BNP would gain a single Parliamentary seat within the next ten years – and time is not on our side. One step that would halt, or at least limit, this splitting of energies would be for you to recognise the veracity of the adage “the buck stops here” and resign as Chairman of the Party in the near future, as opposed to your intention of doing so three years hence. This would not only reduce the loss of more members, but enable you to regain the respect that we all had for you."

Griffin wrote a polite letter back to Bean saying he would answer his letter after the 7 September court case but nothing has yet materialised.

It's still all fun and games within the BNP!
