31st January 2007

At a full meeting of Burnley Council on 13 December 2006, a position on a local regeneration board came up for renewal. When it came to the vote, there was a choice of only two candidates: a BNP Councillor, or a Labour Councillor. The casting vote rested with a Liberal Democrat Councillor, and he backed… the BNP Councillor!
Indeed in a letter to the local paper, the Burnley Express, the Liberal Democrat Councillor (John Jones of Linby Street, Burnley) declared that, in his view, he backed the “better candidate”, going on to say: ” BNP Councillor Wilkinson is quite passionate about her ward members… As the spokesman for her party she speaks up regularly for what she feels is right. To my mind, she is actively doing her job for the people who voted for her.”
The BNP were delighted as their website shows.
One wonders whether this disgraceful incident will feature on any Liberal Democrat Focus leaflets in the May 2007 Council elections?

This is the typical kind of thing one expects from the party of bendy policies.

There really is no one the Lib Dems wouldn't do a deal with for their own benefit. It's strange how they are almost always the first to play the race card in elections. Perhaps this new alliance is not so strange after all. Perhaps there is a xenophobic element at the grass roots of the Lib Dem party Shocked

. Perish the thought.

Lib Dems deal with any party to further their own ends. They are in a coalition with labour in the Scottish parliament and, I believe, with the Tories in Aberdeen.

Electing someone to a committee is not the same as endorsing their political views. If it was the case, the whole concept behind the British party system would collapse.

Yes Aventinian you are right when it concerns normal political parties but the BNP are extremist fascist thugs that no party should ever deal with

Avetinian are you a member of the BNP your defense of them betrays Nazi sympathies

To say the BNP are a normal party is a joke do you think normal political parties deny the Holocaust took place do normal political parties have skin head thugs beat up opponents or people just because of the colour of their skin

in Germany Nazi parties are illegal and it should be the same in this country and to try and say that they are the Same as the SNP is an insult the SNP is a democratic party that welcome's everyone no matter their race or religion the same can never be said of the BNP and for any one to defend them makes me think that they are a member of this racist undemocratic anti Semitic sectarian party that has no place in the mordern world

What's this got to do with Scottish Independence. Should be in UK, Ireland.

Corby boy the point of this thread was originally an attack on the Lib Dems who called the SNP an xenophobic party so by posting the fact that they are the only major political party to do a deal with the BNP it raises the question just how xenophobic are the Lib Dems

The thread was then taken in a new direction by Avetinian and his dangerous fascist views he may not like it but he defends the BNP and the only people who do that are other fascists

Avetinian then goes on to say the BNP do not deny the Holocaust and that the party does not use violence both these views have got to be challenged this thread might be about Scottish politics and Independence but we can not let these poisonous views go unchallenged the BNP are going to try and make a breakthrough in Scotland in May so the view's of Avetinian and his fellow fascists must be challenged read the articles below which blow Avetinian's views out the water

On the Holocaust
Between 1995 and 1997, Nick Griffin edited 'The Rune'. Griffin referred to the Holocaust as a "Holohoax".
In 1998 Nick Griffin said, "I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that 6 million Jews were gassed and cremated and turned into lampshades. Orthodox opinion also also once held that the Earth was flat... I have reached the conclusion that the "extermination" tale is a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda, extremely profitable lie, and latter witch-hysteria."

BNP bring thug life to town hall

PRESSURE IN MOUNTING on a leading far-right activist to resign his council seat after being found guilty of violence.

BNP leader Nick Griffin doing his best to shake off the boots-in-suits image

British National Party (BNP) councillor David Enderby has so far refused to step down as a councillor in Redditch, in the west Midlands, despite his conviction for assault yesterday.
Anti-racist campaigners are furious that the thug plans to keep his public office even councillors would be expected to resign once convicted of a serious crime.
Enderby has shown no sign of giving up his seat, and the thousands of pounds of taxpayers money he pockets as a result.

He is the second BNP councillor to be found guilty of violence recently. Kevin Hughes, Enderby’s agent in the elections, was sentenced to thirty months, reduced to twenty-four on appeal, for racially aggravated common assault last June.
Last August the BNP awarded Hughes the prize of "activist of the year" at their annual Red White and Blue festival of hate.

Only two weeks ago the BNP Parliamentary candidate for Hull, Brian Wainwright, was found guilty after a campaign of hate mail against the local mosque, a Muslim councillor and a local anti-fascist activist.
A letter in which he claimed, "Muslim blood will be spilt" included ‘SS’ scull and cross bones imagery. Another letter was sent to a local anti-fascist activist threatening that Combat 18 (the Nazi terrorist organisation who take there name from Hitler’s initials) would visit.

In the same week a BNP activist in Swindon, Mark Bulman, who has used the pseudonym Bullock, was sentenced to five years after attempting to firebomb a local mosque using a BNP leaflet as a fuse.
He also daubed swastikas and racist graffiti on local shops and businesses that he believed to be ‘ethnic’.

In June 2006 BNP councillor Brian Turner was found guilty of a racially aggravated public order offence. He escaped a jail sentence and was instead ordered to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work in the community.
Turner has previous convictions of common assault and police assault after he was convicted of beating up his wife Melanie Turner.

Yesterday Enderby, who represents Winyates ward, was found guilty of three counts of assault and ordered to pay £100 costs at Kidderminster Magistrates Court.
Sabby Dhalu, Unite Against Fascism Joint Secretary said: ‘David Enderby should resign immediately. The people of Redditch deserve better than a thug as a local representative.
‘It is clear that the BNP does not behave like a normal political party, and its history is riddled with violence, particularly racist violence.
‘The convictions reveal the true nature of the BNP - a fascist and racist organisation full of thugs with criminal convictions

Defending the civil rights of fascists does not make one a fascist. If you can't see the difference you're maybe not ready for a political forum.
