So the British National Party has been told they have to change their party constitution because it is in breech of discrimination laws which leaves me curious as to what they are going to do about it.
Currently their constitution states that a party member must be of Irish celt or saxon/nordic/celt decent which prevents any non-white and most european people from joining. Not a problem in itself as anyone in these groups would'nt be wanting to join, but for the party it spells a dilemma for the party leadership.
They can't just change their beliefs but are legally being told they must. I wonder if they can get some costly solicitor to amend the constitution just enough not to be on paper illegal but allowing them to continue their political aspirations.
