How BNP bastards target newspaper comments
The story of the 'BNP ballerina' as told by the Daily Express is interesting. What do you expect when you tell lie after lie after lie about immigrants? Of course the far-right bastards are going to think you're on their side. So when you say something they don't agree with... they take it upon themselves to bombard your comments, knowing that similarly infantile bullshitting tirades would be filtered out by any half-decent letters editor, even if they did work for the Express.
This is telling:
I would urge everyone to visit the BNP site on a daily basis these days if you actually want the truth (and the Daily Express of course which seems to be the only paper where one's comments will actually be printed).
He's clearly tried putting foul comments on other paper's websites, and has been disappointed by them. Luckily the Express will let you say any old shit, especially if it's against immigrants or Muslims. Is that the freedom of Web 2.0? Is that freedom of speech? Or is it a deliberate policy? I wonder what would happen if lots of anti-Jewish comments started turning up from the Express's friends on the far right... perhaps Richard Desmond might see that rather differently...?
On Wednesday you asked in your phone poll, " is the immigration crisis getting worse and worse?" RESULT 99% YES A large number of your readership believe
immigration must be out of controll.
That's what happens when you lie, and lie, and lie again about immigration. You will attract these scum. And as the first commenter pointed out, they know they can make themselves heard by the comments in the Express. It used to be just a shit paper; now it's a shit paper bought by racists and read by the BNP - and when it decides to be anything other than totally flattering towards the political party it is most alligned to, it reaps the whirlwind of abuse.
I wonder if Richard Desmond looks at himself in the mirror and smiles because his paper is seen as being the BNP's paper of choice. I wonder what Richard and Judy, among others, think about writing for the racist's favourite paper. I wonder if they care.

The BNP have been proactively targetting internet forums and newspaper comments for a few years now. Unfortunately they seem to be the only political party that does make proper use of the internet for spreading propaganda. I have been heavily involved in opposing BNP trolls on the internet for several years and have learnt how they operate. About 3 or 4 years ago I discovered comments by BNP members urging supporters to target internet forum, particularly the forums of local newspapers. By far the worst ‘offender’ for allowing the BNP to have a platform is Newsquest. Newsquest are owned by American news giant – Gannett. They own several local newspapers in the UK and ‘run’ forums for those newspapers. One of those local forums is the Oxfordshire Forums which are the forums for the Oxford Mail. Some years back I started posting on the forums for the same reasons most people do, conversation, interest, no politcal motive. I had been used to racist trolls on AOL news chat which I previously used to use, but was dismayed to find that our local forum had started to be attacked by members of the BNP and other so called “white nationalists”. So naturally I began opposing them. Years later in 2008, after the deletion of many forums due to this disruption and after many bannings of BNP activists and several calls and emails for Newsquest, a small group of us are still battling these trolls. Unfortunately they have also managed to recruit a couple of locals to help. One of them then went to the Brigton Argus forum and began attacking that until eventually the moderator couldn’t cope and what was a lively, friendly forum full of people that didn’t necessarily see eye to eye but were civilised to each other, was completely deleted and no-longer exists as it was. The way the BNP trolls operate is several. The ‘clever’ ones tend to only post threads about crimes committed by non-white immigrants or Muslims, yet they ignore other crimes. Their excuse for this is that they are addressing some sort of imbalance in news reporting, often citing the difference in reporting between the cases of Stephen Lawrence and Kriss Donald. Of course, this is a convenient excuse and doesn’t take into consideration all the other variables and time differences between the two cases. The BNP these days has got clever, there are still a few thugs out there on the internet but most of them do more harm than good when they are outside of web sites such as Stormfront where they are allowed to spout whatever racist rubbish they wish whilst under the name of Nazi mass murderers and quoting Hitler (see case of Sheffield BNP candidate “Roy James” for one example). As you can see I a lot to write on this subject and this is only the tip of the iceberg so I set up this anti BNP site: The BNP is still racist and full of Nazis
