Hackers have for the second time in as many days taken down the website of British National Party leader Nick Griffin.

Earlier this week, members allegedly from the internet activist group Anonymous took down websites of far-right organisations after twice targeting the British People's Party and the Ku Klux Kan's websites in the last week.

In a message posted online they said:

"The government has failed to take action against people, organisations and websites promoting racial hatred".

One of the main hackers told Blottr the attack would commence late on Monday night. Last week numerous white supremacy websites were taken down with British People's Party suffering the worst outage on their site for around 6 hours.

Griffin's website was down for around 3 hours on Monday night with another KKK website and a White Supramacy website also fell victim.

They had decided not to name all targets in advance to prevent sites taking pre-emotive measures.
