[edit] Management
The label's managing director is David Hannam, former BNP branch organiser for Hull and now the party's accountant and deputy treasurer. In 2000 Hannam was jailed for three months for distributing, together with fellow BNP member Simon Sheppard, "a racist and anti-Semitic leaflet" during the BNP's 1999 European election campaign. (Sheppard was expelled from the party for producing local BNP literature without the consent of the national head of Publicity.[1]) David Hannam wrote the music for and sang the song (with lyrics by Nick Griffin) that featured in the BNP's party political broadcast in 2005.[2]
The other director appointed at the time of the company's incorporation was Nicholas Cass. Cass is Yorkshire Regional Organizer for the BNP.[3]. He stood for the party in Rother Valley in the 2005 General Election.[4]
[edit] Financial benefits to BNP
The BNP will be the main recipient of any profits generated by the label.[5]
[edit] Status As of 2007
As of January 2007 the project appears to have stalled or been abandoned; the site's 'releases' page features only one CD, though Director David Hannam has stated there are to be 4 releases all in all for the year 2007 plus a new website. The music section of the BNP's 'Excalibur' merchandise service [6] features more CDs.
