Arthur is nervous; despite numerous attempts to clear his name, fellow fascists across Yorkshire are treating him with suspicious contempt. Arthur Bentley is sitting in his living room with the lights off. His X-Box and its various games are scattered across the room. There is no sign of the sex-toys for which he is famous for selling.


I offer him a cigarette, but Arthur refuses, he still likes to keep in shape and look good on the Bradford singles scene.

"I never set up Eddy, it's rubbish" he whines. The reds have done this to discredit me because they know we (the BPP) are going to be successful across Bradford.

I've had BNP members ringing me too, it's awful."

The allegations centre around the hiding BPP leader Eddy Morrison took outside Headingly last week, for which both BNP and antifascists claimed responsibility for.

Bentley was accused of getting Morrison beaten up after he and Morrison had smashed the windows of the BNP's Mark Collett during the week preceding.

"That's not true. I never smashed Mark's windows, but I know who did." Perennially unemployed Bentley then offers to name names for a small fee. We decline and he becomes agitated and says he wants us to leave.

Bentley's sister is a lesbian in the carpet cleaning business, while his mother is a notorious bag lady, having left Bentley and his father (who became terminally depressed when Arthur was ten) to marry a black serviceman and live in Pudsey.

Could that be the root of Bentley's fascism, his sense of abandonment? Could that be why he sells black sex aids?

"You're sick" he says, producing one of the large "black mamba" dildos that the social don't know he makes a living from. "The colour of the dildo is not race based, it's just the colour of the rubber they used. Some women find it easy to slip a black one into their handbags, that's all."

On the subject of his sister, Bentley remains tight lipped, she has disowned him, though there was rumour of a rapprochement by Arthur before Christmas.

"I was stuck indoors at my Mum's [instead of the squalid bed sit in which he now resides] with only my mum, my step-dad and a dildo for company, so I rung her up."

He's settled down now, in his chair slowly thumbing the large dildo as it rests on his knee, gently caressing it's rubber walts and bum tickler as if he was aside his favourite pet.

"I've never had a girlfriend" he proffers, as if we are to be surprised. A quick look around the filth and squalor of the "Night Owl" makes that little surprise. "I rung her up and she and her partner came over on Christmas Eve.

I'd gently wrapped for them both a black mamba, I thought they'd like it, I also thought I'd get a crack at her partner, you know it being Christmas, but there was no chance, I was right pissed off with them."

Bentley points to a small scar above his right eye. "The mamba hit me in the eye when they 'gave it back' " he bemoans.

Having been accused of working for Searchlight since his acrimonious departure from the BNP, Bentley is forthright in his indignation. He grips the dildo angrily as if he was squeezing Mark Collett's private parts. "I left the BNP because I was suffering in my private life. I sell sex-pills through a Sunday paper, but because the proprietor was Jewish, Nick Griffin used to refuse to allow me to bring dildos to branch meetings. There are some right desperate birds in the BNP and it was treated as a joke!

After the BBC documentary about Bradford BNP, I discovered that there was no room for the sort of things I wanted to do, so I searched around the movement for like-minded people"

Arthur's search took him to Sheffield, where he met John Wood, the former WNP/NA leader who was setting up the BPP (British Peoples Party.) "Griff (Wood) took a huge amount of dildos and pills off me and we went of to Leeds to see Tony White's wife. We used to slip her a 'micky' then take turns riding her. It was much better than paying for it, like I normally do in Thornton Road, Bradford."

On the question of the notorious Leeds hard-man, White, Bentley is surprisingly scathing. He flexes his muscles for effect. "I work out on my weights three, maybe four times a day, if Tony ever had a problem with us screwing his missus, he never had the balls to complain to me." He slaps the dildo into his palm like a cosh. "I now how to use these to great effect!"

While in the BPP, Wood was accused of abusing his position for sexual gain and expelled from the party. Shortly after, sensitive documents fell into the hands of Searchlight.

Was that really Wood, or was it Arthur?

"It wasn't me, I promise." However, despite the squalor of his home, it is likely that Arthur has a bigger income than just the £70 he claims in benefits. A new TV, and X-box and various expensive contact magazines are readily on view, including surprisingly, one for men wishing to "swing" with Asian ladies!

"I sell pills" he protests, all my money comes from the sex industry. I may not be getting any (sex) but I know there is an industry to make cash from. I do not care for Searchlight money, I make money from selling nitrate to gay couples and dodgy Viagra to old people (like Wood and Morrison?)"

Certain people have accused Bentley of being behind the attack on party leader Morrison, something that rankles with Bentley enormously.

"That's a lie." As for the sex acts allegedly carried out and filmed by Wood and Morrison on White's wife, Bentley leads us to his computer where he allows us to view snippets on his computer, including a large file of pictures of Wood and Morrison making 'love' to Mrs White.

"I don't need anything now I've got these. I'm the hardest man in Bradford after a couple of pills"

And with that, Arthur begins to play with his dildo and sniff nitrate, while a mpeg of Mrs White being entered by both Morrison and Wood plays on the computer.

Sadly, Bentley sees nothing wrong with this. "Can you leave me now" he says clearly agitated. "I have work to do."
