:01:50. > :01:57.British National Party focus on racism. This one is about
:01:58. > :02:07.corruption, dirty tricks and lies and it starts in 2006. Nick Griffin

:02:12. > :02:16.and his Head of Pub lit, ch Mark, Collett were found not guilty of

:03:11. > :03:16.transformation happened in the most unlikely of places. Jim Dalston set

:03:19. > :03:24.British National Party were here for two-and-a-half years. We have
:03:24. > :03:29.security grills, cameras here, here and here. But no sign saying
:03:29. > :03:34.British National Party? absolutely not. It is very low key.
:03:34. > :03:40.From the offices jerm Dalston organised mass mail shots for the
:03:41. > :03:48.BNP. We put out a mailing to 12,000 people. It brought in over the
:03:48. > :03:53.month 136 -- �136. Out of that about 115 -- �115,000 was clear
:03:53. > :03:58.pro-ity. They started to rake it in. Nick Griffin was Wiley, he could
:03:58. > :04:03.see right away that this was a goldmine. We could unleash hundreds

:04:33. > :04:39.Dalston raised the money to pay for it and more. It was in three parts
:04:39. > :04:46.over a period of two months it raised about �170,000. In three
:04:46. > :04:50.years, the BNP's income had tripled to nearly �2 million. Success for
:04:50. > :04:56.the BNP. Success also for Jim Dalston. The more he raised, the
:04:56. > :05:00.more he was paid. It was not just the party's fund raising that was
:05:00. > :05:07.being turned around. Meet Simon Bennett. Another man crucial to the
:05:07. > :05:11.BNP. He managed its website. I was given teledays to completely
:05:11. > :05:17.redevelop and redesign it. And to run it. That is pretty much what I
:05:17. > :05:23.did for three years. But when the website came under cyber attack
:05:23. > :05:30.known as denial of service, Nick Griffin saw an opportunity.
:05:30. > :05:35.Unbeknown to me he put out a campaign to raise �5 million to
:05:35. > :05:41.beat this attack, or this DOS attack, the largest known to
:05:41. > :05:46.mankind in history. It wasn't and did it really cost �5,000? Simon
:05:46. > :05:51.Bennett should know, he hired the computer programmer who defeated
:05:51. > :05:59.the hackers. No, absolutely not true. It was a lie. His invoice to
:05:59. > :06:03.the party was �177. And an overblown campaign that misled
:06:03. > :06:11.supporters, according to Simon Bennett. Nick Griffin said that the
:06:12. > :06:15.appeal was based on an estimated cost, members know that into extra
:06:15. > :06:20.cash goes to the party. All political funds however raised must
:06:20. > :06:25.be accounted for. The bigger donations are made public, it is
:06:25. > :06:30.the law. We have obtained evidence from inside the BNP that reveals
:06:30. > :06:34.that seven donors gave more than �5,000 in 2009. They should have
:06:34. > :06:38.been made public, but only four were. So, what happened to the
:06:38. > :06:45.other three? The party said it was getting so many donations that its
:06:45. > :06:48.records could not keep up. But according to accountant Michael
:06:48. > :06:52.Power, the proper recording of donations is vital. It is
:06:52. > :06:56.absolutely at the heart of the financial management and financial
:06:56. > :07:03.probity of a political party that they do this well and are seen to
:07:03. > :07:08.do it well. And the BNP don't seem to be doing it well, that is fair
:07:08. > :07:14.to say? It is fair, they have told us that themselves. But is there a
:07:14. > :07:20.darker explanation for the missing donations? One well-placed insider
:07:20. > :07:26.told me that the party wanted to keep some donors anonymous. Secret
:07:26. > :07:30.that is, from me and you. Failing to report donations properly breaks
:07:30. > :07:35.the law. The Electoral Commission has the power to investigate
:07:35. > :07:42.political parties. It has already investigated the BNP. It essencored
:07:42. > :07:49.the party for failing to keep accurate and transparent accounts
:07:49. > :07:52.in 2008. The party's explanation then was it had just introduced
:07:52. > :07:57.computerised accounting and some information had gone missing. John
:07:57. > :08:03.Walker used to be a been been Treasurer. He should know. That is
:08:03. > :08:09.a lie. It is a lie? Yes. It has always been computised from day one.
:08:10. > :08:14.The BNP admits that its explanation was unclear and blamed an unname
:08:14. > :08:22.former official, but John Walker says that there is more. John, the
:08:22. > :08:27.accounts in 2009, they say that � 37,450 was paid to you?.
:08:27. > :08:31.absolutely not. I was flabbergasted to see in the accounts that this
:08:31. > :08:35.large amount of money allocated against my name, which is
:08:35. > :08:40.completely false. It is a fabrication. At the time that the
:08:40. > :08:43.accounts say he was paid, John Walker was no longer even on the
:08:43. > :08:48.BNP payroll. Why did it happen? Obviously they could not account
:08:48. > :08:53.for a large sum of money and they tried to put it somewhere. I don't
:08:53. > :08:58.know how they thought they could have gotten away with it. John
:08:58. > :09:04.Walker says he never got the money. What does this tell us about what
:09:04. > :09:07.is happening here? The statement is backed up by the sensus that says
:09:07. > :09:13.that no evidence was given to show what the payments covered so it
:09:13. > :09:21.seems what you are telling me is true, that is a fictional entry in
:09:21. > :09:25.the statements. Michael Power has this assessment from the most
:09:25. > :09:30.recent published accounts. Technically, the party is insolvent.
:09:30. > :09:34.I wanted to talk to the man in charge, the Party Chairman, Nick
:09:34. > :09:40.Griffin. Nick, hello, how are you, it is Darragh MacIntyre from the
:09:40. > :09:45.BBC, how are you getting on? It didn't go very well. Just to
:09:45. > :09:49.clarify something, this is not a spear. We are following up... --
:09:49. > :09:54.this is not a smear. We are simply following up... You know this,
:09:54. > :10:00.don't you take me for a physical. Your party members are saying this.
:10:00. > :10:08.He said he would think about giving us an interview. So, money worries
:10:08. > :10:13.in private, but in public, the BNP was on a roll. More than 50 elected
:10:13. > :10:21.councilors and a seat for this man, Richard Barnbrook on the London
:10:21. > :10:29.Assembly. Then in June, 2009, the biggest day in the British National
:10:29. > :10:35.Party's 27-year history. British National Party, 132,94.
:10:35. > :10:40.Nick Griffin and Andrew Bronze elected to the European Parliament.
:10:40. > :10:46.A major brewing for Britain's far- right. We had reached main stream
:10:46. > :10:50.respectability at that time. From that point onwards, we were going
:10:50. > :10:58.to operate like a main stream legitimate party and, you know, it
:10:58. > :11:04.was the big time for us. Back at Jim Dalston's BNP HQ in Belfast.

:11:49. > :11:53.were entitled to a slice of the European pie. �260,000 each on top
:11:53. > :11:58.of the salaries. The money must be spent on working for Europe. The
:11:58. > :12:08.first task that the BNP had was to find a premises fit for their
:12:08. > :12:08.
:12:08. > :12:11.leader and new MEP. The search took them far and wide and ended... Here.
:12:11. > :12:17.Unit 36789B. Nick Griffin's European headlines on an industrial
:12:17. > :12:23.estate in Wigtonne, come brer. It was here that recent recruit,
:12:23. > :12:27.Alistair Barbour joined the MEP's payroll. Europe was the cash cow,
:12:27. > :12:32.let's get our noses into the trough and see what we can get out. To see
:12:32. > :12:36.what we can fund the party with. Alistair Barbour was paid out of EU
:12:36. > :12:41.funds to do European work, but most of the time that is not what
:12:41. > :12:46.happened. So, what did you spend your time doing? Party work. Party
:12:46. > :12:51.work. You're not allowed to do that? No. No. But this is what it
:12:51. > :12:56.was all about. Party work and trying to figure out what expenses
:12:56. > :13:02.we could get out of the European Union. There is no grey area with
:13:02. > :13:05.the European money. It can only be spent on EU business, otherwise it
:13:05. > :13:12.is fraud. The rules and the guidance that goes with the rules
:13:12. > :13:17.is clear. You may not use the money we we are providing for for a
:13:17. > :13:26.parliamentary activities to either directly or indirectly subsidise a
:13:26. > :13:32.national party. Andrew Bronze, the party's other MEP disapproved of
:13:32. > :13:37.missing EU funds. Alistair Barbour resigned in disgust at BNP politics.
:13:37. > :13:44.He is now talking with the European fraud investigators. Right next
:13:44. > :13:51.door to unit 3B is 3A. It became the British National Party's
:13:51. > :13:57.national headquarters. It was said that at one point EU's subsidised
:13:57. > :14:01.electricity was siphoned from here to here. European money, taxpayer's
:14:02. > :14:06.money drained from this unit into the coffers of the British National
:14:06. > :14:10.Party next door. Simple, really. It was reported to Europe's fraud
:14:10. > :14:16.investigators but it was five months before they arrived in
:14:16. > :14:19.Cumbria. At that time, they found no evidence of an electricity scam.
:14:19. > :14:25.But they continued to investigate a series of allegations about the
:14:25. > :14:30.miss use of European money. Meanwhile, I received a message
:14:30. > :14:36.from the office. I've just been told, right, Nick Griffin has
:14:36. > :14:42.tweeted about the programme. I know he said last week it was a smear
:14:42. > :14:52.show. That I can handle. That is his opinion. It was about his wife,
:14:52. > :14:52.
:14:53. > :14:57.Jackie., "BBC Panorama smear mongers ran a full credit check on
:14:57. > :15:07.Jackie...." That's a lie. It is also against the law, so I rang to
:15:07. > :15:10.
:15:10. > :15:16.How are you doing? I see you have been tweeting about us. You tweeted
:15:16. > :15:20.that the BBC had carried out a full credit check on your wife. I can
:15:20. > :15:24.just tell you, we didn't, we absolutely didn't. Nothing to do
:15:24. > :15:34.with the BBC. He said he would take my word for
:15:34. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:45.By 2009, success at the ballot box delivered a big moment for Nick
:15:45. > :15:51.Griffin. But it backfired. I have shared a platform with David Duke,
:15:51. > :15:57.who was once a leader of a Ku Klux Klan, a totally non-violent one,
:15:57. > :16:06.incidentally. He embarrassed himself. He carried himself like an
:16:06. > :16:11.He managed to Google, Goan, for pace -- pull faces -- he managed to
:16:11. > :16:15.giggle and Goan. He looked completely out of his depth. Nick
:16:15. > :16:23.Griffin described the programme as a lynch mob, and said he did well
:16:23. > :16:26.in these circumstances. But others thought it was a disastrous start
:16:26. > :16:34.to their 2010 general election campaign. The BNP was by now,
:16:34. > :16:38.spending big time. Jim Dowson's fund-raising couldn't keep up.
:16:38. > :16:44.few milk your donors too hard, they are still producing the milk, it is
:16:44. > :16:49.as simple as that. My act - if you milk your donors. Nick Griffin's
:16:49. > :16:54.BNP was running up debts and these debts have caused the biggest
:16:54. > :16:59.problem for the party. This press company is just one of its

:17:33. > :17:38.asked to alter were all submitted to the Electoral Commission. How
:17:38. > :17:44.did he feel about doing that? made my objections known. What did
:17:44. > :17:49.you say? That you can't do that, you cannot do that, that is fraught.

:19:59. > :20:05.He lost by just nine votes. Many of Nick Griffin's closest allies have
:20:05. > :20:09.now turned against him. Mark Colet was once tipped to be the next

:23:31. > :23:35.Griffin. At least I hope we are. With the BNP, everything is
:23:35. > :23:39.mysterious. We have been told to go to a rendezvous point. Nobody was
:23:39. > :23:44.there. Did you ever feel like someone was watching you? That's
:23:44. > :23:54.how I feel right now. We were being watched, by BNP officials in a
:23:54. > :24:02.
:24:02. > :24:08.Land-Rover across the street. Not exactly sure where we are being
:24:08. > :24:12.taken to a right turn here, to McDonald's, bizarrely. We are told
:24:12. > :24:17.to wait again. The magical mystery tour goes on, we are off again. We
:24:17. > :24:21.arrived, finally, at a hotel, and after being checked by BNP security,
:24:21. > :24:25.we are allowed in. The bizarre world of the BNP had another
:24:25. > :24:30.surprise for us. Nick Griffin announced we would have an audience
:24:30. > :24:34.for the interview. We had hoped to put all of our allegations to him,
:24:34. > :24:37.but first, a statement from him about us. The BBC is
:24:37. > :24:41.institutionally hostile to the British National Party. We are
:24:41. > :24:44.being attacked with a tissue of weak and deceitful lives,
:24:44. > :24:47.distortion and half-truths from disgruntled former employees and
:24:47. > :24:51.individuals with axes to grind. That is all we will be saying on
:24:51. > :24:56.this matter, thank you. Before we had a chance to ask a single
:24:56. > :25:03.question, Nick Griffin fled the room. Instead, spokesman Simon
:25:03. > :25:07.Darby and a host of BNP cameras turned on us. Why is it that to
:25:07. > :25:14.keep pressing the British National Party? This is the Third Programme
:25:14. > :25:20.-- that you keep pressing. We had been ambushed. Can you tell us
:25:20. > :25:24.about the BBC's expenses? In the thick of things, party treasurer,
:25:24. > :25:29.Clive the Chesterton, the man at Marion Thomas says told her to
:25:29. > :25:38.falsify records -- Clive Jefferson. How much are you being paid by
:25:38. > :25:48.this? You are not going to answer our questions and you expect us to?
:25:48. > :25:52.
:25:52. > :25:57.It was the BNP's answer to our questions, I think some DUP in one.
:25:57. > :26:04.Harassment from a senior official, while the party chairman, the man
:26:04. > :26:09.who is ultimately responsible, is refusing to answer any questions.
:26:09. > :26:16.Time to leave, and we were given a helping hand by BMP security. That
:26:16. > :26:21.is are sold. Excuse me! After the interview that never was, we
:26:21. > :26:25.finally got some answers from Nick Griffin. He denied that the BNP
:26:25. > :26:29.used money from the European Union to fund national party work. The
:26:30. > :26:34.BNP insists it didn't fail to disclose reportable donations. It
:26:34. > :26:38.suggests we haven't taken account of bounced cheques, or what it
:26:38. > :26:43.terms joint donations. Clive Jefferson says it is untrue that he
:26:43. > :26:48.instructed Marion Thomas to falsify election returns. Nick Griffin says
:26:48. > :26:53.he was not aware that Marion Thomas had accused three BNP officials of
:26:53. > :26:58.holding her against her will. Two officials wrote to deny it. Nick
:26:58. > :27:02.Griffin says they all do. Finally, Nick Griffin admits the money John
:27:03. > :27:07.Walker never received was in fact incorrectly recorded as wages. He
:27:07. > :27:14.now says the money went into an account in Mr Walker's name, which
:27:14. > :27:18.was used to pay suppliers. Then, a final twist in our investigation,
:27:18. > :27:25.an allegation that Nick Griffin himself ordered the creation of a
:27:25. > :27:31.fake invoice. A BNP coach trip to Brussels, paid for with a European
:27:31. > :27:37.grant of almost �10,000. But the trip cost much less than that,
:27:37. > :27:40.leaving the party with a profit of about �4,000 it wanted to keep. But
:27:40. > :27:45.when the Electoral Commission asked about the money, the BNP realised
:27:45. > :27:52.they might have to pay their profits back. The solution, reduce
:27:52. > :27:56.the profit with made up costs for Security and organising the trip.
:27:56. > :28:02.Two former BNP officials have told us there was no security on this
:28:02. > :28:06.trip. Nor was there any service fee for organising it. We have been
:28:06. > :28:12.told Nick Griffin wanted these fictional costs beefed up. Nick
:28:12. > :28:16.Griffin sent this e-mail to David Hannah, then treasurer of the BNP.
:28:16. > :28:26.David Hannon has told us that this is an instruction to falsify an
:28:26. > :28:33.
:28:33. > :28:37.invoice. Nick Griffin wrote, good, The BNP misled the Electoral
:28:37. > :28:41.Commission with details of these fictional costs, which the
:28:41. > :28:46.commission accepted, without seeing the fake invoice. The case was
:28:46. > :28:50.closed. Nick Griffin denies that he ordered false invoices to be
:28:50. > :28:55.creative. He says others had access to his e-mail and could send
:28:55. > :28:59.messages, apparently from him. He says he will investigate. David
:28:59. > :29:03.Hannant died suddenly eight days ago. We had been speaking to him in
:29:03. > :29:10.secret but his family have told us that they are happy for him to be
:29:10. > :29:13.named in this programme. Internal party documents reveal that the BNP
:29:13. > :29:23.oh half a million �12 months ago. Nick Griffin recently claimed the
:29:23. > :29:27.
:29:27. > :29:31.party debt is just �50,000. -- b b n p o �500,000, 12 months ago. Well
