[edit] History

Its leader, up until November 2002, was Mark Collett. Collett was replaced in 2003 by Tony Wentworth, who was a student at the University of Salford at the time. Until December 2007, the leader was Danny Lake, a student at Bath University. Since Lake took over the Young BNP expanded its activities, most notably on the internet. Lake and former YBNP Secretary and Nottingham Trent University student Mark Wain were mentioned in an article by The Guardian journalist Alex Hilton for creating the most official looking BNP group on Facebook.^[1]. The Young BNP also has groups set up on MySpace, Bebo and other similar sites.
