Not content with lying about Nick Griffin, the Tory-supporting Sunday Express newspaper has told what might be the biggest lie of its existence by claiming that a BNP “electioneer tried to blow up a mixed school.”
Trumpeting their lie as an “exclusive,” the Sunday Express article claims that Dr Lambertus Nieuwhof is “helping to mastermind the BNP’s election campaign.”
Dr Nieuwhof is, according to the lying Sunday Express, “part of the BNP’s election taskforce. Nieuwhof, who lives in Hereford, is working on the general election campaign in Scotland.” The paper goes on to claim that Dr Niewhof “planted a bomb” in a school in South Africa.
In fact, Dr Nieuwhof has not even been a member of the party for over two years and has never had anything to do with the BNP’s “election campaign.”
Furthermore, Dr Niewhof has obtained a police clearance certificate from the South African Police proving that he has no criminal record whatsoever.
The truth is that Dr Nieuwhof used to have a web hosting company which three years ago hosted a London pro-BNP blog, but he sold that company two years ago and has not been involved in the BNP either as a member or activist of any sort since then.
It is understood that Dr Nieuwhof is currently planning legal action against all those media hacks who repeated the leftist lies and inventions about himself.
* According to the “Editor’s Code of Practice,” a copy of which is on the Express’s own website, that paper is committed to accuracy.
The Code reads:
“1. Accuracy
i) The press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information, including pictures.
ii) A significant inaccuracy, misleading statement or distortion once recognised must be corrected, promptly and with due prominence, and -- where appropriate -- an apology published.
iii) The press, whilst free to be partisan, must distinguish clearly between comment, conjecture and fact.”
Obviously, the slimy editors of the Sunday Express do not abide by their own code -- but that will come as no surprise to any person familiar with the media.
