Just got off the phone with Scotland Yard. It appears the BNP’s story about black gun crime is factually baseless.
The BNP have taken their story from a Met Press Release that said:
Gun crime since April 2009 is 12.6% (280 offences) higher than the same period in 2008. The latest figures represent a slowing in the rate of gun crime increase (down from 17% on 30 September). Nevertheless, the increase in gun crime continues to be a matter of grave concern and the subject of extensive and significant operational activity.
Now compare what the BNP have to say:
Gun crime committed by Third World-origin immigrants and their children has become the Metropolitan Police’s biggest area of concern as this year marks the predicted minority status of white people in Britain’s capital city.
A new report on crime in London shows that although the total number of offenses fell, gangland shootings have led to a big rise in gun crime.
Notice how in the Met’s Press Release there is no mention of what type of gun crime has been committed (let alone a racial profile). This story has a similar Richard Barnbrook ring to it, who made up knife crime stats.
If the BNP want to be taken seriously as a political party then they should stop making up stories about serious issues without verifying their facts.
