Massive BNP losses in Nottingham

The annual BNP membership leak gives an opportunity to take a look at the state of the party's growth in the local area. Since the 2007 list was published they have lost a massive 70 out of the 165 members they had in Nottingham (42%). Even when new members are taken into account, they now only have 77% of the numbers they had in 2007. Far from growing, the BNP is shrinking into the extreme political margins in this city.
By counting Nottingham as postcodes NG1-NG11, the BNP had 165 members in the city in 2007. 70 of these had not renewed their memberships by early 2009 - over 40% of the 2007 membership in the area! The BNP is leaking like a sieve and the rats are jumping ship.
32 new recruits were made in the same period of time, but that still only takes them up to 127 members, only 77% of the 2007 membership. How long will these newbies last knowing that their personal data is regularly going to be leaked into the public domain?
The BNP is a waning force in Nottingham. Concerted antifascist action can take them from the margins into total irrelevance.
