TV Nazi R. Hylton Potts complain of being called a fascist in local rag (I wonder why?). The front page of paper has story about an attack on a Czech Rep man by racists!!



From The Folkestone Herald Thurs April 28th.

In election news.
Get Britian back election candidate Rodney Hyton-Potts
has been sworn at and called a fascist after publicising
his nil immigration policy.
Despite the strong opposition he claims the Tories are 'running scared'. The wannabe polititian swaned of a reality TV show has claimed that M.Howard was 'terrified'
his right wing views would win over a share of trad Conservative voters.
Mr Hylton Potts was out and about talking to people in Folkestone town centre on Friday and claimed he was finding that the majority supported his views. He said:" I have been asking people if they want immigration stopped and they almost all say yes."
He added that someone had shouted abuse outside his hotel room and that someone had called him a fascist while he was campaigning. He also talked about his policy to castrate all paedophiles and said as a father of seven it was something he was serious about.
-----------------------------------------------

aw bless,get the violins out, he's been called what he is- a fascist.
Given he's a father of seven,perhaps he should take his own advice and get himself castrated.
----------------------------------------------

On the front page of the same paper though:

Headline; Stabbed In The Back. Czech wounded in St Georges Day brawl.

St Georges Day turned ugly when a violent brawl in Folkestone saw a czech man stabbed in front of his horrified
children. father of three. MG was wounded in the back with a craft knife when a fracas between the 32 y.o's family and a group of people broke out in Dover road on Saturday.
Mr G feels the trouble must have been racially motivated. He said: " I dont know whyy it happended.I have never foughtor been in trouble in my life. My children saw everything and were very scared. I can't think why it happened, other than they thought we were asylum seekers".
The incident happende at about 9.50pm as Mr G and his relatives were leaving a family party.
A row broke out between the family, a male and a group of females. Four males in a blue car, possibly a Ford Mondeo,then also became involved.
Police said that a Czech man was struck on the head with a baseball bat and that Mr G was stabbed. MR G sustained a small but deep wound in his back. He was treated at the William harvey Hospital in Ashford.
MR G later said " People assume that if you are foreign you are a refugee,but my family all work and pay their taxes. I thought England was nice. I was going to move here with my family and find work,but now I dont know."
In our country we welcome the Engliah and are kind to them>"

POlice have questioned an 18 y.o in connnection with the attack.He has been released on bail pending further investigations.
----------------------------------------

The fact is that on saturday the BNP were leafleting the local Sainsbury's car park with their filth duering the day.
Some connection perhaps????
