During the run-up to the European elections, The Sun newspaper published the contents of a leaflet which had been drawn up by an extremist leftist who was linked to the Tory Party-affiliated UAF organisation. The Sun claimed the leaflet, which contained highly defamatory remarks about Gurkhas, had been issued by the BNP.
Even though it was obvious that the leaflet did not originate with the BNP, the disgusting liars in The Sun’s editorial office gave great prominence to the leaflet in its online and printed editions in an attempt to smear the party.
Fortunately, the liars at The Sun failed in their attempt to prevent the BNP winning seats in the European elections. They had also failed to take into account the highly effective ‘Operation Fightback’ campaign run by the party under Councillor Paul Golding.
Within hours of The Sun’s lies appearing, the Press Complaints Commission had been flooded with thousands of angry members of the public objecting to the vicious lies put out by that newspaper.
The Sun has now been forced to publish a full retraction in its printed and online versions, admitting that its original story was untrue.
