Soldiers, police officers, teachers and doctors were in fear of losing their jobs today after the entire membership list of the BNP was posted on the internet.

More than 10,000 members of the far-Right organisation are listed, including a serving police officer, a vicar, members of the Armed Forces, an actor, leading businessmen and former civil servants. Many children are also named.

Today a DJ was dropped and a police officer was facing investigation for his alleged membership as alarmed bosses started to scour the list for employees’ names.

Talksport radio said it would ‘no longer use’ DJ Rod Lucas who covered late night shifts for the station earlier this year.

Mr Lucas’s name was published along with his address and contact numbers. His profession was given as ‘media: radio/tv production’.

Lucas, a Sony Award winner who once worked for Radio One, had been hailed by TalkSport bosses for his work but they took swift action today.

A spokesman said: ‘We won’t be using him again. We had no knowledge of his association with the British National Party.’

Meanwhile, the Independent Police Complaints Commissions is awaiting an official referral of a complaint made about a male officer at Merseyside who was also listed.

Since 2004, officers have faced dismissal for being a member of the BNP because of the risk it could damage race relations.

Named on the net: Every single BNP member has been named after the far-right party’s membership was posted online

Officials for the far-Right organisation initially believed a disgruntled former employee was behind the leak but today claimed it may have been the work of Labour supporters.

BNP spokesman Simon Darby said: ‘It is looking increasingly likely that this is the work of Labour Party supporters. If they have not protected their IP (internet service provider address) properly, there will be an electronic trail leading back to the culprit.’

He added: ‘If we find out who published this list, it will turn out to be one of the most foolish things they have done in their life. I wouldn’t want to have done that - I wouldn’t be sleeping very well tonight.’

The list includes people’s names, addresses and ages as well as other ‘relevant’ information. Children are also on it because the party has family membership deals.

Many entries are accompanied by the warning to administrators: ‘discretion required, employment concerns’.

Keiron Le-mar, a former soldier who now works for an energy company - was aghast that even his service number had now been released.

‘I’m obviously disappointed… I’m worried about that because in my job I go round people’s houses. I’m involved in all sorts of walks of life. I don’t know how they would look on that. It could make the company look bad,’ he told the Times.

‘I joined the BNP because I feel they are the people who stand up for Britain as a country. I’m not for the racist views. To be honest, all I’ve ever got was letters asking for money.’

‘Spiteful’: The list on the internet. BNP officials claimed it was released by an ex-employee but now believe it could have been posted by Labour supporters

Internet chat sites have been flooded with fearful messages since the list emerged.

One online comment read: ‘I’m on the list, I could be chucked out of the Army. What is going on?’

Another added: ‘This is a disaster for the BNP, both on a PR front and a security level. Heads should roll and I’m afraid that the buck has to stop with the chairman.’

BNP leader Nick Griffin, whose home address and telephone number were included, confirmed the list was genuine and was an old one that had been slightly modified.

He branded the move a ‘disgraceful act of treachery’ by former staff and has already instructed police to investigate on human rights and data protection grounds.

‘If we are able to prove it is one of them, they will go to prison. It’s as simple as that,’ he said.

The membership list was password protected and encrypted. Publication was forbidden under a High Court injunction obtained in April.

The party believes either Left-wing groups who may have infiltrated the organisation or an ex-employee posted the details.

Mr Darby insisted it was a ‘malevolent and spiteful’ move to try and destabilise the party: ‘It is part of a dirty tricks campaign and a desperate move by our political opponents.’

He claimed the list contained the names of people who had never been members of the party as well as the names of current and former members.

Criticism: BNP leader Nick Griffin is facing calls for his resignation

The person who leaked the material could be prosecuted and fined but the chances of members’ successfully suing them or the party over the breach are slim. 

It was discovered after people started receiving unsolicited mail and contacted the BNP.

The party claims it has more than 100 local and parish councillors, the latest of whom was elected in Boston, Lincolnshire, last week. Race tensions are high in the town as migrants make up a quarter of the population.

It plans to make a major push to win seats in the elections to the European Parliament next June.

In 2006, it was revealed that Covent Garden ballerina Simone Clarke was a member of the BNP after the party was infiltrated by an undercover journalist.

It was claimed that activists are encouraged to use false names while on party business and instructs them in the use of software to encrypt emails.

Many of its members, however, are far from the stereotype of the British far-Right.

According to reports at the time, one is the American chief executive of a City investment corporation, while another is a servant of the Queen, living at Buckingham Palace.

Labour MPs Margaret Hodge and Jon Cruddas have repeatedly warned of the march of the BNP in East London.

The list shows the BNP has attracted support from all corners of the country and across the social spectrum.

Members include teachers, librarians, solicitors, nurses and linguists. They list hobbies including landscape painting, hunting, gardening and church singing.

There is no ban on teachers, doctors and nurses joining the party although it not deemed compatible with frontline service.

And living in Britain isn’t a requirement of being a member of the British National Party.
One lives in San Diego in the USA and another in France.

An activist from Stockport in Cheshire is listed as a company director and another from Rubery in Birmingham works as a private investigator.

Other members include an ex GMB shop steward from Hornchurch in Essex. A retired solicitor from Wanstead in London is happy to proof read and edit leaflets and posters.

Another member from Nympsfield in Gloucestershire has a BA in languages and a masters degree in translation.

A businesswoman from North London speaks French and Italian. A district nurse from Bideford in Devon is listed as enjoying ‘walking, knitting and helping people in need.’

At least one serving police officer is on the membership list, along with several retired officers.

It also includes16 servicemen, including a Royal Marines Commando. Among the 68 members listed as former servicemen are one Chelsea Pensioner, three Paras, three Guards and two Royal Marines.

Other members are identified as practising pagans and one male member is listed as ‘witch’.
