A former member of the British National Party has been fined £200 after admitting publishing names and contact details of 10,000 party members online.
Matthew Single was fined by Nottingham magistrates after admitting disclosing data without consent.
Judge John Stobart said the fine was “low” because Single was on benefits.
The judge also told Single: “Anything that is posted on the internet has the effect of opening a Pandora’s box.
“What you put on the internet can never be taken from it and while there may be some members in this organisation who do not deserve to be protected by the law, they should be able to expect that officers within the organisation will not abuse the information provided to them.
“The law exists to save people from such revenge attacks.”
Charges against Single’s wife, Sadie Graham-Single, were dropped.
A BNP spokesman branded the sentence “an absolute disgrace” and said Single should have been jailed.

The judge’s comments are the most significant thing about the article:
…while there may be some members in this organisation who do not deserve to be protected by the law, they should be able to expect that officers within the organisation will not abuse the information provided to them.
Do not deserve to be protected by the law… In a society whose leaders made even a pretence of justice this guy would be out of a job quickerna rat up a drainpipe.

Sam pauline?
They are scared to say they re members WHY?coz they re ashamed closet fascists.
Apart from the spelling.
They are scared simply because people like you will in all probability go round and put a brick through their window.
Still, that’s democracy your style.

OK Sam lets run with the idea that the BNP are the cowards in this scenario.
By publically supporting the BNP someone is then open to public vilification from every branch of the MSM, they can lose their job and its open season on them from violent NEDs such as yourself, all with a smirk and a nod and a wink from police/media/politicians.
One would have to be quite brave or stupid to put up with that.
They also run the gauntlet of on-line irritants such as yourself wanking off to fantasies of throwing bricks through windows…
