Cops find laptop with 13,000 BNP members names on it

Posted on November 15, 2009 by Dissent

Tom McTague reports:

Blundering BNP bosses lost a laptop with the names of all 13,000 party members.

A former employee at the BNP HQ and call centre in Northern Ireland was owed unpaid wages and she claims hard-up bosses gave her the computer in lieu of payment, forgetting that it held the entire membership list.

After realising the laptop had gone, they called the police and claimed the woman had stolen the laptop. She was arrested and later released, but police held on to the computer.

Read more in the Mirror.

Is there any one left in the BNP whose name hasn’t been leaked by now? This appears to be their third reported incident since 2008. Previous coverage here and here.
