Another conspiracy nut

Sonia Gable | Friday, 7 December 2007 Source: Searchlight

One of the BNP's two remaining Sandwell councillors has done little to distinguish himself since his election in May 2006 but does have some interesting links on his official council website. Under the heading "My Politics", alongside the websites of the BNP and its front groups, Civil Liberty and Solidarity, Russell Green lists the aptly named "Conspiracy Planet". This site espouses pretty much every lunatic nazi and antisemitic conspiracy going, including that the 9/11 terror attacks were an "inside job".

Also there is "The Truth Seeker", which carries articles that suggest HIV is a harmless virus and does not cause Aids, claims to reveal the secret powers behind the Vatican and argues that Jewish bankers brought Hitler to power.

Green is not the first Sandwell BNP councillor to promote such offensive nonsense. Simon Smith was suspended from the council for three months in July this year for misusing his council website, which included some of the same links. Smith also resigned from the BNP, after which Simon Darby, the BNP's deputy leader, stated that the reason for his departure was his unacceptable beliefs. So what is more acceptable about Green?
