A police constable whose name appeared on a leaked list of British National Party (BNP) members has been sacked, Merseyside Police said.
Pc Steve Bettley's name was on a document listing details of 12,000 people which was published online.
Merseyside Police conducted an investigation into the allegation and concluded he had "knowingly been a member of the BNP".
Mr Bettley denied being a party member and will appeal against his dismissal.
Officers and police staff are banned from joining or promoting the BNP.

bit harsh that he was sacked but then again for what the bnp stand for i'm sure there's alot more bnp supporters within the police ranks than those that actually joined

How the hell is it Harsh?

When you apply for the Police Roles, it specifically states you CAN NOT be a member of any groups like BNP. And if you are, you need to state it!
