Nick Griffin has been formally expelled from the British National Party.

 

A conduct committee, established by new BNP chairman Adam Walker said in a letter: “We believe that, since being given the title of honorary president, you have put all your efforts into trying to cause disunity by deliberately fabricating a state of crisis.

 

“The aim of this was to again embroil the BNP in factionalism designed to destabilise our party.”

 

Aside from being accused of trying to destabilise the organisation, Griffin is also being accused of harassing members of BNP staff, allegedly making physical threats. 

 

A spokesman for the committee said: “Although we all appreciate that Nick has achieved a lot for our party in the past, we must also remember that the party is bigger than any individual.

 

“Nick did not adjust well to being given the honorary title of president and it soon became obvious that he was unable to work as an equal member of the team and alarmingly his behaviour became more erratic and disruptive.”
