BNP's Nick Griffin in hospital
British National Party leader Nick Griffin has been admitted to hospital with suspected kidney stones, days before he is due back in court over a bid to have him jailed.
The MEP is undergoing tests near his home in Welshpool, Wales, after suffering back and stomach pain. "I am very keen on being in court on Monday as I believe there is going to be a judgment in favour of the British National Party," he said.
The Commission for Equality and Human Rights has applied for the committal of Mr Griffin and two other party figures over allegations the BNP has failed to remove potentially racist clauses from its constitution.
