BNP to consider non-white members

The British National Party has been told to change its membership rules so that ethnic minorities are allowed to join.

The BNP was facing prosecution by the Equality & Human Rights Commission for alleged racial discrimination.

The BNP's leader, Nick Griffin, has now agreed to ask his party to allow non-white people to join.
