Two weeks and two different cases of abhorrent behaviour from young children affiliated with the BNP. Last week a 15 year old boy escaped a prison sentence after bullying a 14 year old mixed-race girl to the brink of suicide.
The girl, who is of mixed white English and black African heritage, was called “wog”, “coon”, “nigger”, “gorilla” and “golliwog” by the boy. She also suffered abusive chants of “white, white, white is right, kick them out, fight, fight, fight” and was repeatedly told: “Go back to your own country, you don’t belong here.”
She wrote a suicide note and took an overdose on Jan 25 this year. She was then sectioned for six weeks in a psychiatric hospital before the family moved to a different part of the country.
During the case it emerged the boy was a known BNP supporter who actively tried to enlist other youths.
This week, it was revealed that an undercover reporter for the News of the World attended the BNP’s Red White and Blue festival and recorded disturbing images of a young girl burning a golly after a mock trial where the golly, named Winston, is charged ‘with being black.’
The BNP promote itself heavily among young people, using recruitment drives with their Youth BNP wing and with well designed Facebook, Bebo and Myspace sites. Before the European election they would often campaign close to local schools.
Nothing British is worried that these two cases are just the start of a growing trend. Easily influenced children are likely to use the BNP as an excuse to legitimise racially motivated bullying. Children are quick to learn and those that are disciplined for racial bullying may start telling teachers that they are just sticking up for BNP values. This may make it tricky for schools to be able to act…..
Especially if BNP councillors are on the school’s governing body.
