Well, duh!

The Equalities and Human Rights Commission has written here to the British National Party about ways in which it may be in breach of various legislation.

You will care to note this paragraph:
The Commission is also concerned that the BNP’s elected representatives may not intend to offer or provide services on an equal basis to all their constituents and members of the public irrespective of race or colour. The Commission thinks that this contravenes the Race Relations Act and the Local Authority Model Code of Conduct and that the BNP may have acted illegally and may act illegally in the future.

Well, gosh, who would ever have thought such a thing?

And they got Capone on his income tax...

It's not necessary - the EHRC have the power bring charges without there being a specific 'wronged party'. Obviously if someone can demonstrate that they've been actively discriminated against it makes it easier to win the case, but in the case of the BNP I don't think it's going to be difficult to prove.
