From the British National Party Wikipedia Page, section 2009 European Elections:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_National_Party
In May 2009, The Sunday Mirror revealed that the photographs used were from stock collections, with the models having posed for a general photo agency shoot in Portland, Oregon; another shot on the truck quoting a doctor in the NHS is also an American stock photo; while the OAPs were the Italian parents of the British resident photographer.
Distributed in leaflet form by the Royal Mail, Plaid Cymru MP Adam Price said: “These leaflets hideously misrepresent the views of the people photographed. I believe they have breached the guidelines set out for electoral communications and I call on the Royal Mail to stop distribution immediately.”
However this was defended by the BNP who said it was standard practise by political parties.

So found an answer to my own question, looks like the BNP do lie in their party political information and that’s just 6 months ago, so no argument it’s past mistakes from when they were young and foolish.
