Costly for the BNP?

BNP make a risky financial move.

It was drawn to my attention that the BNP have a Freepost address so I googled it and what should show up but the BNP website itself. At a bnp.org.uk/contacts/ (I'm not making that a live link for what I hope are dead obvious reasons) was the general contact address stating that general enquires could be sent by post to:

British Heritage FREEPOST

I also found a lot of sites advocating the sending of copious amounts of junk mail at the cost of the BNP. I'm not suggesting that this is an activity that as sensible adults we should be engaged in but it does raise the question of if the BNP had really thought through the whole freepost part.

With the Christmas season here there is likely to be a large number of left over envelopes sans address ready to carry less than glad tidings. I wonder if the freepost address will still be in use this time next year.

Have already sent 10 empty envelopes and have asked family to do like-wise. What a silly thing to do!

I'm still sitting here surprised that they would do such a thing. Surely they realise that a large number of people who dislike them are going to stoop to such pettiness. I can't see how this helps unless they want to play some sort of "persecution card" later on.
