Bye-bye BNP

Completely obliterated in the general election, the BNP's rout continued today as the party lost councillors wholesale in the simultaneous local elections.

On the BNP's showcase BARKING AND DAGENHAM council, where the BNP, with 12 councillors, formed the official opposition and expected to increase its presence, voters removed every councillor belonging to the racist party, making Barking and Dagenham BNP-free for the first time in years.

In Stoke on Trent, where the BNP had nine councillors and also formed the official opposition, two sitting councillors were ousted (two others defected from the racist party earlier this year), reducing their presence to five...

While i too revelled in griffins failure in barking and dagenham the fact of the matter is that the bnp tallied half a million votes... an increase in their share of the vote..if a PR system of representation was introduced they would have a substantial number of seats.

Weyland bennett of this as some kind of victory (as the bnp failed to get a seat due to the first past the post system) will not cheer those likely to be fighting and/or a victim of increasing racism on our streets. In fact, the uaf's reliance of the political establishment, whose swing to the right on immigration issues, is in turn actually feeding the rise of fascism.

I wonder how the fascists of the UAF will manifest their nasty, authoritarian, and elitist attitudes and behaviours if the BNP folds.

The people of the UK never needed the UAF's violence, intolerance and anti-free speech arrogance to protect them from the BNP. I've no idea why the BNP's vote has collapsed and I couldn't care less about it, but one thing is for sure - the UAF had nothing to do with it. If anything the UAF's antics probably helped the BNP with publicity.

I expect that the UAF rentamob will now concentrate on demanding our obedience on other pet issues so beloved of their type of person - for example anti-Israel posturing and panic-mongering about things like the climate and nuclear power.

The BNP has increased their share of votes, they just failed to get an MP.

You don't believe your own bullshit yourself probably.
