The controversial British National Party (BNP), according to a member list leaked on the Internet, do not have any members in county Fermanagh.

The list of over 10,000 members include members from every other county in Northern Ireland, but not Fermanagh. There are even two names on the list from the Republic of Ireland.

The BNP have courted controversy with what many believe to be their extreme right views with some commentators calling the Party fascist in its nature.

TYRONE

In neighbouring Tyrone, according to the records, there is one member in Fintona, one in Omagh and one in Dungannon.

When contacted by the Fermanagh Herald's sister paper, the Tyrone Herald, the man from Fintona told them:

"It is nobody's business whether I am a member of the BNP or not."

The Northern Ireland organiser of the BNP said that members were advised to 'take reasonable steps' to secure their personal safety.

On the list are 16 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.

VICAR

One BNP member is listed as a Church of England vicar.

According to Lancaster Unity, the anti-fascist group that first reported the list's publication, other members are noted as construction managers, receptionists, district nurses, lay preachers, company directors and teachers.

Other occupations include librarian, and private investigators.

The list also shows that the Party has members as young as 14 years old.

It includes the pastimes of some members, which range from steam railways to line-dancing.

Other members are identified as practising pagans and one male member is listed as "a witch".
