“I am the individual responsible for putting the Parliamentary expenses scandal in the public domain”

Just like to say if you are the person responsible for first highlighting MP expenses, well done it needed doing.

Unfortunately whatever you’ve achieved is going to be over shadowed by your membership and support of the BNP.

In another comment you mention your past support for UKIP followed by “I left the party because of the corrupt behaviour of some of their members”.

Corruption and criminal activities by the various British political parties has come up quite a bit on my site, if you do some very basic research you’ll find lists of criminal convictions for all the parties including the BNP (not seen one for the Greens mind you, though I’m sure there will be).

When looking at these lists you have to take into account the size of each political party, Labour, Conservative and Lib Dems contest all parliamentary seats (so over 650 potential MPs each) and have 10s of thousands of councillors.

With so many people involved there are bound to be bad apples amongst their ranks, I’ve seen BNP supporters argue the BNP in comparison are honest and trustworthy, but when you check their criminal convictions lists out they are no better than any of the other political parties.

When you take into account they stood for just 119 parliamentary seats in 2005 you’d expect the BNP criminals list to be at least 3 or 4 times smaller than the main parties lists and it isn’t.

I’ve not performed statistical analysis on the criminal lists, but a quick look through them gives the impression relatively speaking BNP potential MPs and councilors are more inclined to be involved in criminal activities than the other parties. I will add the main parties seem to have far more sex crimes listed than the BNP have!

The conclusion I draw from this is the BNP are no better than Labour, Conservatives and Lib Dems when it comes to convicted criminals within it’s party.

Not suggesting you should have stayed in UKIP, just pointing out that the perception the BNP are somehow more honest and trustworthy than the other political parties doesn’t hold water.

As an ex member of the police would you agree with my assessment “they are all as bad as one another” Michael?
