BNP: British National Party deputy leader, Scott McLean, exposed as Nazi
2004-05-18
An undercover video obtained by the News of the World blows a hole in the myth that the BNP (British National Party) is a 'reformed' party of British patriots.

If top BNP bosses claim to have rid themselves of the infestation of Nazi support and holocaust denial, Sunday 16th's (May 2004) News of the World devotes a two page spread to the Nazi antics of BNP deputy leader Scott McLean.

McLean, a scotish BNP Euro election candidate parties in a secret Highland cottage with fellow BNP member, John Cartright, who's brother Steve is a former member of the violent Nazi terrorist group C18. McLean, in keeping with other BNP leaders, denies that the holocaust ever happened.

The News of the World describes the video:

'...Fellow BNP member and ex-soldier John Cartwright strums his guitar —and the group launch into a racist version of the 1960s Kenny Rogers hit Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town.

Instead of the correct lyrics, the group sing: "Oh n*****, get the **** out of my town."

Another verse goes: "N*****s are parasites, if you don't go I'll get my gun and put you in the ground.

"Oh n***** get the **** out of my town." Young children listen before they fall asleep in chairs.

On another occasion, two of the gathering appear outside the cottage in the Scottish Highlands and give the Nazi salute.

But what follows is even more sickening — as they chant "Auschwitz" after one of Hitler's most notorious Jewish extermination camps.

A large wooden cross is then set ablaze as a symbol of their hatred.

McLean, a married dad of three, loves to convey a sense of respectability among his neighbours in Barrhead, just outside Glasgow...'

Jonathan Evans MEP, Leader of the Conservatives in the European Parliament, has condemned the BNP after a Sunday newspaper.

The News of the World has revealed a secret video of BNP members and candidates for the European elections making Nazi salutes, and using extreme racist language. The video shows the number two BNP candidate in Scotland - Scott McLean - at a gathering of Party members, during which they make racist chants and burn a cross, to show solidarity with the Klu Klux Klan.

Jonathan Evans told the News of the World: "This is the true nature of the BNP. However hard they dress up in suits and pretend otherwise, the BNP has always been a group of thugs dressed up as a political party." Conservative Party Co-Chairman, Dr Liam Fox, added they are: "poison beneath a veneer of respectability."

TARTAN LINK TO FAR-RIGHT GANGS OF HATE Apr 22 2004
DESPITE being disorganised, the far right in Scotland is still dangerous.

The movement attracts a relatively small number of followers but those who do join up soon rise through the ranks.

Nick Lowles, who investigates the activities of neo-Nazis and fascists, said: 'Although the numbers active in the BNP in Scotland are small and their organisation minimal, those who are involved are extremely active.

'The people from Scotland are much more hardline and much less compromising than those who are trying to alter the party's image.

'Warren Bennett is involved in the religious and political history of Scotland but the others are much more Hitler-ite in their thinking.'

The BNP's number two is Scots-born Scott McLean, while their main candidate in the forthcoming Euro elections is Steve Blake, an IT consultant from Stirling.

Another activist is Glasgow-born Jamie Hunter, who is a leading light in the Blood and Honour skinhead music scene.

Lowles' book, White Riot the Rise and Fall of Combat 18, identifies the main players in British far right.

Combat 18 took their name from the position in the alphabet of the initials of Adolf Hitler's name.

Last year, it was revealed how another extremist group, the White National Party, were attempting to exploit racial tensions in Scotland.

The London-based organisation is considered too extreme by the BNP, who have banned their members from having anything to do with it.

Last September, the WNP applied to hold an anti-asylum seeker rally in Glasgow's George Square but were turned down by the city council.
