Headline: The Best of BNP News Volume II contains the ‘best of’ the stories which appeared on the British National Party’s website, www.bnp.org.uk under the by-line ‘BNP News’ from January to June 2009. Written by Arthur Kemp, these stories helped to drive the BNP’s web presence up to the 700th most popular website in Britain, and to an average of 12,000 in the world, according to the Alexa web rankings of June 2009. The BNP website became, as one media source put it, the way in which that party managed to sidestep a hostile media and present its message directly to the voters.
These stories covered all the main issues for which the BNP has become renown: immigration, the European Union, foreign aid and foreign policy, the NHS, public utilities, education and much more. Here then, are the stories which helped propel the BNP into the political mainstream.
