Tim Farron comments on the de-registration of the BNP as a political party
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron has said 'hope always wins out' after news that the Electoral Commission has removed the British National Party (BNP) from its register of political parties. The decent and fair minded British public have stood up against the BNP and all they stand for - intolerance, hatred and an organisation that worked to stoke fear wherever they could. Britain is a little better off today because of this news, but we should always be mindful that the just because the BNP have fallen off the register, they could come back. We also still have organisations like Britain First working to fan the flames of intolerance.
