'Good and wholesome' BNP blames media for wet nazi vicar horror

Lancaster UAF | 05.06.2006 21:45 | Anti-racism | Repression | Social Struggles | Liverpool

If you didn't laugh, you'd throw up

The not noticably reverend Robert West, who heads the BNP front-group, the Christian Council of Britain  http://82.69.12.18/lancasteruafblog/index.php?itemid=239 has hit the news again just weeks after leaving the Tories to join the British National Party. West, who resigned his party whip just before disciplinary procedure took place to get rid of him, was apparently delivering leaflets for the BNP in Lincoln when he was accosted by a householder who was appalled not only at receiving fascist rubbish through her letterbox but also at the fact that it was apparently a vicar delivering it (West wears a dog collar, though we've still yet to see any evidence that he's entitled to do so).

Quite rightly, she berated this alleged vicar until she obviously couldn't take the stress any more, went inside, got a bucket of water and (allegedly) threw it over him.

The BNP, who have accused us on a number of occasions of being 'unBritish' for recommending people who are offended by BNP leaflets to report the party to the police for incitement to racial hatred, immediately went to the police and reported the householder for what they describe as 'a hate crime'. She now faces the ordeal of going to court and no doubt having to defend herself against the curiously interesting charge of making a nazi fake-vicar a bit damp.

Of course, the BNP is entirely humourless about this whole thing, claiming that the householder's behaviour '...is a direct result of the constant media barrage of lies, deceit and slander of our good and wholesome political organisation'.

Oh dear. They just walk right into it every single time.

Good and wholesome political organisation? The party that supports its councillors who are also violent thugs and wifebeaters, the party run by a very dodgy ex-car dealer who also happens to be rabidly anti-Muslim and a Holocaust-denier, the party which - until very recently - had a convicted bomber as its second in command, the party who have the deserved reputation of having the worst councillors in the country, the party with a deservedly appalling reputation for electoral fraud, the party that lies and misleads on almost every leaflet it puts out?

Good and wholesome? Of course.

Rubbish article

Absolutly piece of rubbish article, first of all the BNP is entitled to their own view you can't go around throwing buckets of water to people and expect to get walk out as if nothing happened.
Then you kind of say the BNP leaflets are illegal, let me tell you that you can report crimes over the internet, if by any chance you come accross a single leaflet of the BNP that breaks the law makes us a favour and please report it.
And last, the BNP has now over 40 councillors, which you blame on "electoral fraud", please report it as soon as possible so we can get rid of those councillors too.

Ironically, for an apparent supporter of an overtly nationalistic party, you seem to display a somewhat poor grasp of English grammar and spelling!

oh yes you can Juno - come over here, and I'll throw a bucket of shit over you & all your kin.

No-one will notice any difference, unless you end up with the bucket on your head.

Illegal; whatever - the law is an ass! When you push your disgusting abusive policies, it's just plain wrong and should be stopped by any means (as your mate Hitler said he should have been stopped, with force).

- oh yes you can!

Sad

What would Lancaster UAF do without the BNP ?

Two sad groups, both so far away from the needs of working class people as to be a complete joke. They remind me of two dogs fighting over a bone nobody else wants.

so much wasted energy

Bloody hell...

Does the article say ALL the BNP councillors are there through election fraud? I don't think it does. Although a fair few of them appear to be. Check out  http://82.69.12.18/lancasteruafblog/crapcouncillors.htm for an up to date list of crap BNP councillors. If this lot don't deserve a bucket of water each I don't know who does. In my opinion they're getting off lightly with just the water!



Talking of which, shouldn't there be a campaign to support the fine woman who drenched the fake vicar - or at least to pay any fine she may get?

Another BNP lie?

07.06.2006 16:48

We've been wondering about this actually. The original report came from the BNP site and we've been unable to corroborate this from any other source. We're now starting to wonder whether it actually happened or if it's just another BNP fantasy like the fake Nick Griffin assassination attempt. More on that fiasco here  http://82.69.12.18/lancasteruafblog/index.php?itemid=150

Anyone spotted a damp vicar wandering around Lincoln? :-D

ICY RECEPTION AS BNP MAN GETS A SOAKING

A BNP councillor was doused with icy water as he campaigned in Lincolnshire.

The Reverend Robert West was soaked after knocking on a door in Buttery Close, North Hykeham.

Today the woman who lives at the house confirmed she did throw water over him - and says she has no remorse for her actions.

BNP councillor Mr West (50), who runs a small church in his own home, said: "I asked if she would vote for us. She said no in a firm way and I offered her some literature which she also refused."

The woman, thought to be in her mid-forties, was polite until she went inside, he said.

"She obviously thought about it and completely changed her attitude," said Mr West, a South Holland councillor who switched from the Conservatives to the BNP last May.

"She said 'How can you be a vicar and support the BNP?' She said she was shocked a man of faith would support the party."

Mr West, a former university lecturer who now works as a supply teacher, said he was happy to talk to the woman but not while she was agitated.

"She then went inside her house again and came out carrying a bucket of icy water. I saw it coming but there was nothing I could do."

Mr West, of Farrow Avenue, Holbeach, said he developed a cough after his soaking and has reported the incident to the police.

"I'm sure there will be charges but I haven't yet made my statement."

Lincolnshire Police spokesman Dick Holmes said officers were investigating.

The woman, who did not wish to be named, told the Echo she had no remorse for her actions.

"He was wearing a dog collar so I asked him whether he was a real reverend," she said.

"He refused to enter into a debate about it. I had the jug of iced water because I was preparing for friends who were visiting that day.

"I refuse to apologise. I have no remorse.

"If he comes here again I will empty a whole jug over his head."

The woman said she had consulted her local vicar because she was concerned Mr West was masquerading as a member of the church while campaigning for the BNP.
