A LETTER from assorted Labour sup-porters in the Citizen last week describes the British National Party (BNP) as neo-Nazi - this we dispute.

The Concise Oxford Dictionary definition of Nazi is 'a person hol-ding extreme racist or authoritarian views or behaving brutally', or 'a person belonging to any organisation similar to the Nazis'.

In addition, we would note that the same dictionary gives the definition of racist as 'believing in the sup-eriority of another race' or 'antagonism towards other races based on the belief in the supe-riority of a particular race'.

It is manifest from the published policies and leaflets of the BNP, from the personality, conduct and statements of our four elected district councillors, and from an inspection of our website at www.bnp.org.uk that there is nothing to justify the extreme and damaging label neo-Nazi used in the letter.

Incidentally, some of our members and many of our members' rela-tives fought against Germany.

It cannot be said too often that the BNP does not in any way, shape or form believe in the superiority of white people. We merely argue that, in general, multicultural societies do not work and that non-white immigration is occurring on such a scale as to cause real tensions and problems - and therefore must be halted to avoid those tensions escalating.

As BNP members we have no personal ani-mosity towards non-white people and we have taken appropriate action against Party members who have been guilty of this.

I hope this clears up any understanding.
