Misogynist BNP Official Sacked

The British National Party official who said “rape is a myth” has been sacked.

A senior BNP official has been sacked as a London Assembly election candidate after he described rape as a ‘myth’ and said ‘some women are like gongs — they need to be struck regularly’.

The BNP said Nick Eriksen would be removed from its list of candidates, where he had been placed second, giving him a serious chance of winning a seat on May 1.

Richard Barnbrook, the party’s London leader, said Mr Eriksen’s views were ‘totally and absolutely abhorrent’ and he would be disciplined.

But, amid clear signs of disarray in the BNP, it was not clear whether Mr Eriksen had been sacked as the party’s chief London organiser, and other senior figures rallied round him.

BNP deputy leader Simon Darby claimed the accusations were a ‘smear’ and that Mr Eriksen’s remarks had been taken ‘completely out of context’.
