Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes

If ever it needed emphasising what illogical twisters the BNP are, then let's see its reaction to today's story that BNP members have allegedly been discovered working for the Asylum Service. In many ways this is like those Euro sceptics who lambast the EU as a waste of space and then soak up as much as they can from the trough when becoming MEPs. Kilroy, Farage et al take a bow.

Cue Richard Barnbrook's wet nurse, Simon Darby to lead the troops. He refers to an interview with the dastardly BBC about an article in The Independent.

• I had tried to tell her that this was a non-story and that a large proportion of the staff and the newspaper were probably Labour members. Explaining that a national media organ trying to pass itself off as some bastion of mainstream ideology and opinion whilst in effect being nothing more than a nest of liberal, multicultural fanatics was a far more serious matter......

Next he'll be claiming some of the Daily Mail staff have leanings towards the Tories or that Der Sturmer had the odd Nazi sympathiser in its offices.

The fact that Darby and ilk seek to deflect the potential problems of having people employed to deal with Asylum Seekers who have allegiance to a party that has as its policy,

• We will also clamp down on the flood of ‘asylum seekers’, all of whom are either bogus or can find refuge much nearer their home countries.

Note the ALL. Note that no mention is made of the 'Geneva Convention' on refugees and our responsibilities under it.

As The Indy article makes plain, there has been concern for years over the treatment of people detained. Coupled with worries about institutional racism and a culture of silence, it is natural that a full investigation should be held . Whilst it is not possible to prove there is a link between membership of extreme parties such as Darby's mob and racial discrimination and abuse, it does not take much thought to want to ask the inevitable question - who guards the guards?

UPDATE

The Mersey BNP have joined the fight.

• Does it not occur to people out there that the BNP are a legal political party with respectable British citizens who have to work for a living (sic)

That'll be white British citizens then?
