BNP Cares for World War II Hero in East Midlands

Snowbound George, an ex Royal Naval war hero, was set to celebrate his 90th birthday with nothing more than a half empty tub of margarine in his freezer, reports East Midlands British National Party press officer John Ryde.

“However, George is a member of the British National Party and was called by the BNP call centre, as they are doing for all of our elderly members, to see if he was alright during the present winter weather,” Mr Ryde said.

“When they heard of his plight, the call centre immediately contacted East Midlands regional organiser Geoff Dickens who set the wheels in motion to bring food and company to George.

“Activist Peter Cheeseman found out what was needed on the shopping list and collected it from a nearby supermarket and took it round for George — and included a few luxuries.

“George asked how much he had to pay, but Pete said ‘Happy Birthday, this is on me, from one member to another.’

“The British National Party is more than a political party and it practises what it preaches. We have to thank all those caring people within the party who are making this an event right across snowbound Britain,” Mr Ryde said.

Nothing Stop's Cllr Cathy Duffy...

IT takes more than a bit of 

snow to deter intrepid BNP

councillor Cathy Duffy from

going about her council duties.

The representative for East Goscote

ward on Charnwood Council was out

and about in the bitterly cold weather

to deliver leaflets advising her constituents

of her forthcoming surgery dates. Husband 

Maurice, is very much part of her campaign 

team and he was on hand to help deliver the  

leaflets and take the photographs.

While doing the rounds, Cathy was  

stopped by a gentleman (above, right)  

who had just been made redundant 

and he had a number of questions about 

what the BNP 's policies were to get 

people back into work.

"He went away reasonably happy with 

what I told him and I said I would get a 

BNP information pack sent to him. Over 

the last few months people that you meet 

are becoming more and more interested 

in politics. I think that they are beginning 

to realise that it's time to make their voice 

heard," she told me.

Dishley and Hathern by-election, 23rd October 2008

Following the resignation of Labour Councillor Sharon Williams on 8^th September 2008, a by-election to select a replacement councillor was arranged by Charnwood Borough

Council for Thursday 23^rd October. Mrs Williams had gained her seat in the full borough elections in May 2007, when the party shares achieved were: Labour 44.7%,

Conservatives 38.8%, and BNP 16.5%.

The party votes in the Dishley & Hathern by-election held on 23rd October 2008 were:

Labour 838 49.7%

Conservative 490 29.1%

BNP 234 13.9%

Lib Dem 107 6.4%

Other 16 0.9%

Comparing the May 2007 full election with the present by-election, the shares of the vote of the three leading parties show that the Labour share increased 5%, the BNP share

decreased 2.6%, while the Conservative share fell by a substantial 9.7%. The weak

Liberal Democrat result reveals them as a Labour Party clone offering no new solutions to the problems we face here in Charnwood.

This result counters the national trend of diminishing support for Labour, but the reason may lie in the demographics of Dishley and Hathern. The ward is “enriched” by a substantial 16.7% proportion of voters of foreign origin, mainly East European and South Asian, who might be expected to support Labour politicians because they are the chief facilitators of mass immigration into Britain. The proportion of foreign named voters in Hathern is only 3.1%, but the majority of villagers are likely to hold traditional conservative views and support the Conservatives. Conversely, in the Barsby Drive and Braddon Road area of Dishley the proportion of foreign named voters is a formidable 26.5%, a block vote which Labour could be relied upon to target for support.

These demographics also help explain the shortage of homes for our young people and the determination of local Labour, Conservatives and Lib Dems to concrete over Leicestershire’s attractive countryside for 19,000 additional houses by 2026, along with associated retail, industrial, educational and medical facilities. Notwithstanding that Britain is now the most densely populated country in Europe, with double the density of Italy, the Labour government, supported by the Conservatives and the Lib Dems, plans to impose another 3 million houses on green belt land by 2020. The Charity Optimum Population Trust states that Britain’s maximum sustainable population is 30 million, not the existing and increasing 61 million.

It was satisfying to achieve more than twice as many votes as the Liberal Democrats and to firmly retain third place. A big thank you to all those who came out to vote for our valiant environmentalist candidate, Julia Green, and grateful thanks to the volunteers who generously helped leaflet and canvass during the campaign. We continue to improve communication of our moderate and common sense policies, and if you would like to lend a hand locally to Britain’s fastest growing political party, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

RED WHITE AND BLUE A GREAT SUCCESS!!!!

As some of you may be aware last weekend was the Red, White and Blue, and despite demonstrations from the far left who tried to stop many people getting to the event, it was still a great success!

'Charnwood' British National Party ran a stall selling sweets along with a balloon race and a wine bottle lucky dip - all of which went down really well. A special thanks to everyone who made the Charnwood stall a great success, especially Maurice for 'bringing in' many of the customers. Overall a great weekend!!

Next year will be the 10th Red, White and Blue and the Charnwood stall will be even bigger and better than ever! This year the East Midlands as a whole was awarded Second Best Regional Stall.
