A radio DJ and policeman have reportedly been fired while it's being claimed others on the list may also lose their jobs.
It’s illegal for those in the police force to be involved with the far right party for fear of what it may do to race relations.
The question is: are private sector firmst just as sensitive to BNP connections?

Here's a comment on this story that was emailed to me by one UK company director:
"I would not sack anyone for being a member of the BNP, they have a right to be a member of the party if they so choose. Would you sack someone for being a member of any other political party, of course not. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, however living in a politically correct nanny state are companies just sacking people because it’s the right thing to do… can’t wait to see all the unfair dismissal cases which the employers quite rightly deserve."
