BNP wins second place in local byelection

John | 04.02.2006 17:50 | Anti-racism | Sheffield

The Britisch National Party managed to get over 30% in a local byelection in Derbyshire. The party came second with just 159 votes behind Labour in Heanor and Loscoe in Derbyshire's Amber Valley borough.

The BNP seems to get more active in the Midlands region, with Notts Indymedia recently reporting on a wave of abuse towards the organisers of a community arts event in Coalville, North East Leicestershire.

Byelection Results: Amber Valley Borough - Heanor and Loscoe: Lab 570, BNP 411, Con 317, Lib Dem 61. (June 2004 - Lab 905, C 774). Lab hold. Swing 5.4% Con to Lab.

How long can Griffin and Collett remain in BNP?

05.02.2006 11:14

After a four day trial in Leeds Crown Court last week the jury foiund that Nick Griffin, lead of the BNP and Mark Collet a BNP member based in Leicester, were not guilty of racism. To be porven to be such abject failures as fascicts must come as a huge embarrassment to them: they clearly do not uphold one of the basic tenets of the fascist BNP. If they are not racists then how long will the BNP suffer them?

Pathetic, how will they live with themselves?
