text: will anyone vote bnp locally  today to make a point against the current corrupt leaders of the other parties?   bnp is the most corrupt & racist of all...theyre not even a real party. the bnp "is wholly opposed to any form of racial integration between british and non-european peoples" and is therefore committed to "restoring, by legal changes, negotiation and consent the overwhelmingly white makeup of the british population that existed in britain prior to 1948". to achieve this aim, the bnp advocates the use of "firm but voluntary incentives" to remove ethnic minorities from the uk. membership of the party is restricted to "indigenous caucasians". a british national party european election candidate in the eastern region had close links in the 1980s with a convicted criminal and two notorious paedophiles.  sid chaney, an elderly former londoner and islington national front officer who now lives in essex, is sixth on the bnp's list for eastern england and a council election candidate in basildon. in the 1980s his circle of friends included desmond fenwick, who was involved in a number of police investigations into horrific murders of gay men, and george wilson, who had a liking for very young boys.  chaney was around when a gang of teenage armed robbers, who were politically involved with both the nf and the extreme nazi british movement, were frequent visitors to wilson's flat, which doubled as the local nf headquarters.  paedophilia is one of the most dreadful crimes against children. the bnp has made paedophilia a major plank of its 2004 election campaign and has tried to barge in on local campaigns on the issue. now searchlight reveals the bnp's own dirty secrets as a service to voters to warn them of the type of people who are campaigning for their votes.  searchlight published the full story of chaney and his disgusting circle of friends and fellow fascists in islington in september 1985 in conjunction with the daily mirror. space precluded us from reproducing it in this month's searchlight but you can read it here on our website and make up your own mind about the bnp's criminal hypocrisy. the british national party will be fielding a total of 21 candidates in london on 10 june although some of them are doubling up. as searchlight went to press the party had named candidates for all 11 london-wide seats in the london assembly, a mayoral candidate who is also standing for the assembly and a full list of nine for the london constituency in the european election. the bnp website includes photographs and short biographies of the party's candidates around the country except that, with four weeks to go until polling day, some photos and several biographies for the london candidates were still missing. this may be because many of the candidates' past activities are rather embarrassing for nick griffin's new "clean" bnp. the many candidates with criminal convictions and a penchant for the policies of hitler's third reich reflect how poorly organised the bnp is in london. in pole position on the london european list is chris roberts. not a serious choice, this former alleged city high flyer has been described as a man from some village that is missing its idiot - and this was by a fellow bnp member. he is the brother of the notorious barry roberts, who is number 2 on the london assembly list. whereas chris lives in leafy essex and has long abandoned london, his brother still resides in southeast london where he grew up in the company of the openly nazi and violent british movement and the national front. after belatedly turning to the bnp, barry roberts was among those who guarded a meeting addressed by the arch liar and holocaust denier david irving, alongside leading violent members of the nazi terror group combat 18, such as charlie sargent, who is now serving a life sentence for murder.  chris roberts is very coy about his early politics but a rumoured early link with us extremists may account for his love of the usa and his abandoning of the
