ALLEGATIONS: Ex-BNP candidate Shelley Rose says that one of the racist party’s bosses tried to trick her into bed

THIS is the buxom blonde who’s trying to destroy Belfast-based BNP boss Jim Dowson.

She’s 22-year-old lads mag favourite Shelley Rose and she claims married Dowson tried it on with her.

The former BNP candidate has posted a truly shocking video on YouTube where she claims – in minute detail – how Dowson allegedly lured her to a hotel under false pretences before making unwanted advances.

And pretty Shelley – who posed in her underwear for lads mag Zoo last year – also claims Dowson accused her of being an MI5 agent for turning him down.

And a separate crisis has engulfed Dowson for we can also reveal he made a midnight phone call to the BNP’s former legal advisor this week and threatened him.

A recording of the message has been posted on the blog run by Lee Barnes who quit the BNP on Tuesday after falling out with both Dowson and party leader MEP Nick Griffin.

During the call he called Barnes a “f**king idiot” and says he hopes to meet him soon.

Dire

The two crises for the far-right party come at a time when the BNP is facing a threat to its very existence.

The party is in financial meltdown following a number of legal cases including a costly £170,000 pay-out to the makers of sandwich spread Marmite.

And last week the Sunday World revealed that Nick Griffin had been forced into putting out an embarrassing begging letter to BNP members telling them if they didn’t put their hands in their pocket the party is doomed.

Dowson, who has a string of criminal convictions, is Griffin’s trusted right-hand man though others in the party believe he’s been a dire influence.

Last week Shelley, who stood unsuccessfully for the BNP in Luton North in the recent General Election, posted a jawdropping video on YouTube.

She claims Dowson invited her to stay at a London hotel on the pretence of a business meeting.

Shelley says at a previous meeting Jim had told her he wanted her to use her musical talent to put on a show during a fundraising road show.

At the second meeting she says Jim wanted to take her to a show so they could get some inspiration and told her they would have separate rooms in the Russell Square Hotel.

Shelley claims things became uncomfortable at the show: “During the theatre Jim started to hold my hand which I thought was a bit strange as I thought we were here for a business meeting.

“But then after the show Jim informed me there was nothing to it.”

But she alleges things took a turn for the worse back at the hotel when Dowson told her they had to share a bed together.

“I decided it was safer to stay with him (as it was too late to get home) because he was a religious and family man and didn’t think there would be a problem,” says Shelley.

The BNP girl claims that Dowson made it clear that he wanted to go further but Shelley rebuffed him.

“After that rather than apologise he started to verbally abuse me and told me I was frigid and that I had emotional issues and I was a wreck.”

Shelley says Dowson changed his manner and apologised and she says she decided to accept his apology.

But two months later – when Shelley thought the alleged incident was history – she says she was confronted by Dowson and other senior BNP members who grilled her.

Interrogate

At a hotel in Chester in January she says: “They sat me down and they started to interrogate me and they started calling me a spy and an MI5 agent and I was just really confused and upset.”

Shelley says she was then told to make a video for Nick Griffin – denying that she was an MI5 spy.

She left the meeting in tears and added later: “I realise that Jim was just getting his own back on me for the hotel incident like some grubby boss who gets rid of his secretary because he tried it on with her.”

Following the posting of the video Shelley was expelled from the BNP.

Anti-fascist magazine Searchlight have been following the BNP for years.

Matthew Collins from the magazine said last night: “Time after time we hear from within the BNP about this sort of behaviour. From swingers clubs to wifeswapping parties, these ‘defenders’ of traditional family values have very little respect for the institutions they so often prattle on about”.

The Sunday World contacted Jim Dowson’s BNP office in Dundonald on Friday afternoon and told a member of staff we needed to speak to him about the video but despite claims that someone would get back to us nobody did.

Resigned

At around 7pm on Friday we received an email from a Belfast solicitor, acting for Dowson, threatening to take legal action if we published allegations made in the video, but which did not answer the allegations

Meanwhile we can reveal that Dowson made a threatening late night call to the BNP’s former legal advisor Lee Barnes on Thursday.

Barnes had resigned as legal advisor two days earlier and had claimed Dowson had threatened before.

He put a recording of the call on his blog on the internet.

In the recorded message Dowson is heard saying: “You always were a f**king idiot and you know that and a t**t. Next time I see you we can discuss this closer – you’re a big lad so it shouldn’t be any bother to you but as usual with big lads like you you’re all mouth and no trousers – cos you’re a f**king t**t and I genuinely hope we keep in touch.
