Doesn't say much about the BNP...

01.10.2008 05:35

...though this does.

BNP triumphs again (over one in 100 back them!)

There were eight by-elections on September 25th, and the BNP managed to contest...er, one of them, in the Hampstead Town ward of the London Borough of Camden. They came fifth...out of five. And they polled 29 votes (the winning Lib Dem got over 1200).

This represented 1.03056% of the vote; a truly dreadful result.

And in the other seven contests - in Chalfont St Giles, Plumstead, Stevenage, Minster (Kent), Sheerness, Alfriston (East Sussex) and Winchester - they failed to field a single candidate. Poor old Simon Darby. His "Quiet Revolution", his claimed breakthrough where the BNP is fielding more and more candidates, in increasingly varied areas, and with increasing support, is turning out to be a delusion. Like so much else in the world of far-right politics!

the BNP is no threat

The BNP is no threat and has not been one for years. If it wasn\'t for time wasters like the ANTIFA and the various SWP clones organisations we probably wouldn\'t hear of them.

The so called fight against the Nazis deflects work, time and people from the real fights in the UK.

BNP stories are plants by Labour - they are lies

04.10.2008 10:52

Labour stooges plant stories trying to engender fear about the rise of the BNP to hide their own right wing antics. For instance, how much more right wing can Labour get without joining the BNP, they incarcerate people for nothing, charge people with thought crimes, attack protestors, arrest peaceniks, support racist police officers and have anti-immigration policies and yet their biggest defence is watch out the BNP will get in...
