BNP list

Oh dear, the leaking of the BNP membership list has caused a rumpus. Not least for Wikileaks. It didn't take very long to find the list online.

I searched for our local postcode. I was thinking maybe there would be one or two in my local area. Nope, I was wrong, very wrong. A quick search found over twenty. I especially liked the names that had labels added such as actor;teacher,discretion required;singer,etc. Is there a "What skills do you have?" section on the application form? I cannot imagine a situation where a singer would be useful-a charity Christmas record for whites-only?

I did recognise a few of my patient's names on the list. Ten or fifteen maybe. I am guessing they too must have joined by accident, or for research. Some are the type of people one would imagine-lumbering oafs with Bulldog tattoos and shaven heads. Some look almost normal. Most of them were over sixty. A couple of them came in last week and, from their demeanour, I am guessing that they still have no idea that anybody with the time, and inclination, could find out their political proclivities. Then again, maybe they are the sort of people who would be proud to be members?

I guess it shouldn't be a great surprise that some of my big, fat customers are big, fat racists.
