I knew there would come a time when I could join the British National Party.

Finally, that moment is here and having thought about it for a full three seconds I have to say why on earth would I want to?

In fact why would anyone want to?

They may well have decided to change their constitution to accommodate ethnic minorities, but as everyone knows, this was forced upon them.

Either they changed their policy or they were faced with the threat of a possible court action.

The party is no longer racist yet somehow I can’t see myself or anyone else rushing for that application form.

Can you actually imagine an ethnic minority wanting to join the BNP?

Yes, of course we will have that retired Asian fellow who will be used to show how it is being ‘British’ that matters and not the colour of his skin.

But I’m sure the novelty will wear off once he sits through a few meetings.

I’m pretty sure a few more will be pushed to the forefront in the coming weeks to show how accommodating the party is. And more than likely none will be Muslim. The BNP will continue to spout the same nonsense as before and we will learn nothing new or different from this ‘historic decision’.

The fact remains that nobody wanted to be a BNP member in the first place so was it really necessary to force the party to change its constitution?

Maybe we really have got a little carried away with making everything and anything equal.

If the party didn’t want any of the ‘brothers’ amongst their like – then it was their loss.

I guess sometimes you can’t win no matter what you do.

This recent decision will simply mean that Mr Griffin (and he’s already done it) can boast the BNP is ‘no longer a racist party’.

The party may now use this issue to highlight their Britishness in the run-up to the election.

As long you share our ‘British values’ you may join, will be the repeated call.

The point is many people didn’t bother about the BNP when ‘they were racist’ and they couldn’t care less now ‘they are not racist.’
