Leader of the British National Party Nick Griffin says "large numbers of Muslim people" should leave the UK and go back, as he puts it, to their "countries of origin". He's also told the BBC that "we should be out of the Islamic world", and should immediately withdraw UK troops from Afghanistan and pull out of Nato. If Mr Griffin had his way, the UK would also cancel its entire foreign aid budget. The Electoral Commission has just issued this statement on the BNP: "In January 2010 the Electoral Commission, the independent party finance watchdog, began a case review following concerns raised in the independent auditor's opinion about the adequacy of the 2008 statement of accounts of the British National Party. The case has now become an investigation. However, it is important to note - particularly during an election period - that no conclusion has been reached and therefore no assumption should be made as to whether a breach of the rules has occurred."
