Well I think you've hit the nail on the head there.

.. but you just said the BNP has a Union. It either has links with the Union or "controls it", make your mind up.

Thought they claimed to be independent of the party... ... strange that :lolol:

Appears he joined them doing an investigation into them (as well as other political groups and parties) The journalist from the Guardian who did an undercover investigation is on the list too apparently as reported in the Evening Standard tonight.

Having reading some press reports it seemed that the Data Protection may not be as strong in reality as I was taught. If someone has stolen the list and the party has applied reasonable care, there hasn't been a breach. All down to interpretation, and over to the lawyers

I bow to your greater knowledge, but I'm surprised. I thought membership of a political party was, as opposed to voting behaivour. Didn't the lib dems get in trouble a while back for passing membership details onto a third party polling company ?

Remember we are talking about computers. If your staff can easily access a whole dump of sensitive information it's not a huge leap for someone to access the information externally especially if the computer is connected to a network.... ... like the internet. So you can't really distinguish...

Is it as simple as that ? Although millions of peoples address already exist in one form or another - it's compilation for a purpose gives it a specific meaning beyond name, address and telephone number. The data itself is "sensitive" in that it specific compilation tells you the political...

Well my point was that when they get any exposure (usually disproportionate to their support) they usually arse it up. I know Billy Bragg spends a lot of time telling us that complacency lets them in the first place :lolol:, but to be honest if you are in the mindset of voting for the BNP, you...

Even UKIP spend half their time beating each other over the head. Anyway, can't see how even Griffin can spin this one round to his advantage. He may argue that the data was stolen, but really it shouldn't have ever been on a position where it was stolen. From what I understand of the data...

Just goes to prove that the BNPs biggest enemy isn't the Socialist Workers Party but merely itself. They've have possibly infringed the Data Protection Act in not ensuring the data was completely tied down and done themselves no good at all in terms of PR. People are going to think twice about...
