The BNP has NEVER been either the National front or New national front. They are totally seperate parties. The people who started the BNP were from those parties as people, but the BNP was born as a new party in its own right in 1982. The newspaper knows this without doing any research, but it is just their usual and underhand way of a smear by linking the party with those of the past. The BNP was the NNF, the NNF started in 1980 and got renamed to the BNP in 1982.
