The Times has posted video of its investigations editor Dominic Kennedy being violently thrown out of a the historic BNP meeting which at the weekend voted to allow non-whites to become members of the far right party.

Kennedy is shown calmly explaining to BNP officials why he wishes to cover the meeting before he is suddenly violently bundled out off the door.

Kennedy says in the video: “I was still holding on to my notebook, which I wasn’t going to let go off for anyone…they grab my nose and try to pull it off…It’s not what you expect when you go to cover a press conference of a British political party.
