Split
Although the meeting at Rawdon demonstrated the support that the NA was building up amongst far right activists, it also helped to bring about the group's destruction. A photograph of the membership at the meeting appeared in Searchlight, leading to accusations being made about who was to blame for its appearance. Along with the failure of the Freedom Party initiative and general ideological clashes the unity within the NA did not last and in September 2005 Morrison, Wood and Watmough split to form the British Peoples Party.
The split led to recriminations across the far right, with Morrison attacked by Martin Webster, with whom Morrison was in dispute over which of them was the political heir of the late John Tyndall, with Webster accusing Morrison in his web bulletin of using the NA simply to swindle the members out of their money, a charge Morrison denied.

Famous quotes containing the word split:
“For four hundred years the blacks of Haiti had yearned for peace. for three hundred years the island was spoken of as a paradise of riches and pleasures, but that was in reference to the whites to whom the spirit of the land gave welcome. Haiti has meant split blood and tears for blacks.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“When I split an infinitive, God damn it, I split it so it will stay split.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“Let my hands find such symbols, that can be
Unnoticed in the casual light of day,
Lying in wait for half a century
To split chance lives across, that had not dreamed
Such coasts had echoed, or such seabirds screamed.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
