Ballerina used to deflect BNP criticism

In a cynical move to deflect criticism of the party following the explosive events of the past couple of weeks, the BNP deliberately let it slip that Simone Clarke, the so-called BNP ballerina, has become engaged to its London Mayoral candidate and director of the gay porn flick HMS Discovery Richard Barnbrook. According to party sources, the plan was to release that information just prior to the GLA elections in an attempt to gain a few additional votes but it was deemed more expedient to release it now, particularly after the attack on the BNP by Jon Cruddas in the House of Commons a few days ago.

Now the party has been obliged to spice up the dancer's contribution to its flagging fortunes by announcing that she may well quit the English national Ballet to stand for the BNP in a local government election or by-election.

Clarke's star has waned somewhat since her membership of the party was exposed last year. From being the ENB's prima ballerina, she appears to have been moved to less significant roles and, for the last seven weeks since it was claimed her home was burgled, she has been on leave.

The burglary, if indeed it ever happened, appears to have been a most confusing event. One story was that Clarke heard the burglar from her bedroom, promptly locked herself in the wardrobe but was confronted when the intruder managed to open the locked door. The current version, as stated by Barnbrook yesterday, was that she discovered the burglar in the kitchen. Whichever way it happened, the story is that the villain walked off with the newly-bought engagement ring. One wonders where Barnbrook was at the time...

According to Richard Barnbrook, who appears to have taken over as her Press Officer, Clarke has been moved away from the limelight because of her membership of the BNP, itself currently embroiled in allegations of theft and illegal surveillance, and has spoken to the Northern Ballet about the possibility of joining them in an attempt to be close to her five-year-old daughter Olivia, who lives with her maternal grandparents in Leeds. Quite what this would mean to the couple's already peculiar relationship is debatable - Barnbrook is the leader (for the moment) of the BNP contingent on Barking and Dagenham Council. Observers are wondering how his dismal performance in the council chamber could be improved by his fiance moving a couple of hundred miles away.

Clarke is surprisingly downbeat about the whole engagement issue, preferring to maintain a stony silence when asked about it but Barnbrook is not nearly so reticent, stating in interviews with several newspapers; 'In the future we will probably get married and have a family...we are very much in love'.

Simone Clarke, of course, already has a family - a daughter by fellow ENB dancer Yat-Sen Chang, with whom she had a long-term relationship. This ended in April of this year and one can only assume that her budding relationship with Barnbrook had something to do with the breakdown because he is quoted as saying (on several occasions) that he and Clarke have 'been going out for over nine months'. You do the maths.

Just after the announcement that Clarke was a member of the BNP and that she was then in the relationship with Yat-Sen Chang, Barnbrook stated that he hoped the couple would not have children, apparently unaware that the media was full of the fact that she already had a child of with Chang, of mixed British, Cuban and Chinese descent. At the time, he was reported as saying; 'I'm not opposed to mixed marriages but their children are washing out the identity of this country's indigenous people'. He appears to have changed his mind somewhat now he is engaged to Clarke.

'Olivia's all right because she speaks good English, and culturally that's the way she's already leaning,' he said recently, claiming that, once married, he would care for the child 'as if she were my own'.

Clarke, who isn't quite as politically-naive as she tries to pretend, has spoken at a BNP event in the Midlands alongside the party's current leader, Nick Griffin, and was recently elected to the executive of the BNP's fake union Solidarity which, like the party itself, suffered acrimonious splits recently. Solidarity's general secretary is the long-time far-right activist Pat Harrington, a former organiser for the National Front.

We'll leave you with a quote from the Daily Mirror: 'And all we can say is that the rabidly right-wing pair deserve one another.'

I have to ask does the silly woman know she is engaged? so far all comments on the subject have come from diva dickey or the bnp website not a word from the dancer, even in this mornings mail he stated she was giving up dancing to stand in local elections.

My money would be on her not knowing any of this was going to happen, dicky wants the press coverage to outshine Griffin again.

Still if she does marry the prat the ex council house he has in dagenham will be a bit of a come down for her, but she can always give a weekly performance in dickys favorite watering hole the Denman in Dagenham sure his drinking buddies would love it.

Dunno but I'd of thought her performance will improve no end.

I see they claim 6,281 members, slightly smaller than the 10,000 they always claim.

"Ballerina used to deflect BNP criticism"

Doesn't that make you wonder what is going on with the press and, why?

This strikes me as a very strange story in many ways.

Cannot help feeling they're an oddly-matched pair (not that I know either of them personally you understand ;-) )

Wonder if it will all end in tears?

By the way, why would she have to stand down from ENB in order to contest an election? Most councillors have managed to combine council work (never mind just an election campaign) with employment.

It'll all come out in the wash!

Like the suing Searchlight, the "royal wedding" is yet another timely smokescreen aimed at taking the attention off Nick Grifin's dodgy past and current misdemeanours.

Just in-case you are still wandering, griffin is indeed an MI5nark.

How much do the rebels give a fuck about the "royal wedding" between "Queen Dicky" and the (hasbeen) "Ballet Queen".

I can see the tattoo-clad Cambat18 Leeds football hooligans going for this one big time, waiting outside the church with their red, white and blue confetti, and pretty apple-blossom smiles on their cherub-like faces.

The BNP have finally been fined for not submitting accounts to the electoral commission.

http://itn.co.uk/news/7a72b568bf31eaf7808c76be3b47e34c.html

Don't know why it's taken so long to decide to fine them.

What will happen to "Nick Griffin's Inner Clique" if they refuse to pay the fine?

I was about to give you the link to the PDF file, anon, but it's dead at time of posting.

Guess the £1000 fine WON'T be coming from Collett's wages?

No doubt there will be many Nutzies" pretending that this fine has not happed.

On a more joyful note 4771 "Green Arrow" an Ex LNER Express Freight Locomotive, and part of the Iconic National Collection at the Railway Museam at York has had her boiler safety Certificate extended for 6 months.

Could the "Green Arsehole" certify that he/she/it will be around in six months ?

I think not.
