BNP Membership in Horsham

Taking a fairly generous definition of the Horsham area - all of the RH12 and RH13 postcodes, plus the BN44 postcode area (so that includes Lower Beeding, Rusper, Broadbridge Heat, Roffey, Partridge Green, Southwater etc.) the leaked list of BNP members contains 40 names in Horsham and surrounding villages, living in 33 separate households.  Just seven are tagged as activists.

So memberships seems to be at similar levels to Crawley, but a lower proportion are active.  This could be because they are more spread out and have fewer expectations of success, and because they are concentrating their efforts more on neighbouring Crawley.

Again, this pitiful level of membership (no wonder Griffin was less than pleased about the leak!) should not tempt us into complacency.  We have seen how just a few people can give the appearance of greater numbers if they are fanatical and well-organised- but these low numbers should give us some comfort.
