It’s official: Richard Barnbrook is a Nazi liar

BNP councillor suspended for a month and forced to apologise

Anti-fascists have welcomed the news that leading BNP member Richard Barnbrook - who sits as a councillor in Barking & Dagenham and a member of the London Assembly - has been found guilty of bringing his office into disrepute by the Standards Board and suspended as a councillor for one month.

Unite Against Fascism supporters held a protest against Barnbrook outside the hearing, which took place on Thursday afternoon at City Hall in central London. Anti-fascists also confronted Barnbrook and his entourage of Nazis as they scuttled out of the hearing.

The board found that Barnbrook had lied in September last year when he said that three "knife crime" murders had recently taken place in the borough of Barking & Dagenham.

He made the claims in a video clip hosted on YouTube - which he did not take down despite being told that the murders claims were untrue.

Barnbrook has now been suspended as a councillor for the month of October - or longer if he fails to apologise. He has also been censured, ordered to submit a written apology and ordered to undertake ethics training by the Lonodn Assembly.

Weyman Bennett, joint secretary of Unite Against Fascism, said: "Back in 2005 the Standards Board ruled that the BNP could legitimately be called a Nazi party. Today it has found that Richard Barnbrook was lying about 'knife crime' murders. So now it's official: Richard Barnbrook is a Nazi liar.

"The BNP's lies don't stop at Barnbrook. They are lying when they say ethnic minorities are to blame for crime. They are lying when they say immigrants are to blame for the lack of council housing. And they are lying when they try to whip up race hatred against Muslims.

"Next year the BNP will be telling more lies to try and win seats in the local and general elections. We need to send the message loud and clear that the BNP are Nazis who are out to poison and divide our communities. We must reject their lies and stand united against them."
