The BNP as a Nazi party

Nazism combined extreme nationalism, racial superiority, state authoritarianism and a conspiracy theory which blamed all of the world's ills on a single racial group, namely the Jews. The BNP might have toned down its political tone but the core beliefs of its leaders, especially Nick Griffin, remain hardline.

I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that 6 million Jews were gassed and cremated or turned into lamp shades. Orthodox opinion also once held that the earth is flat… I have reached the conclusion that the ‘extermination’ tale is a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda, extremely profitable lie and latter witch-hysteria.

Nick Griffin 1997

The BNP's antisemitism goes right to the top of the party. In 1997 Griffin produced a pamphlet entitled Who are the Mind-benders? in which he claimed that Jews controlled the British media in order to brainwash white British people into accepting non-white immigration.
