Nelson school in row over BNP stunt

A still of the Lie Lorry from the YouTube video
A row has erupted after BNP members parked a campaign trailer outside a school.

Representatives, including two councillors, were filmed arguing with a senior teacher from Pendle Vale College, in Oxford Road, after a large sign emblazoned with the party’s logo and a slogan was driven to the site. Now the footage has been posted on YouTube, as well as the BNP’s website.

Coun Derek Dawson, who represents Gannow ward on Burnley Council, said he and Pendle borough councillor Brian Parker were in front of the school to do an interview for BNP TV about the Government’s £250million Building Schools for the Future programme. Schools across Burnley and Pendle have been merged and rebuilt as part of the flagship scheme.

Coun Dawson said a senior teacher, believed to be an assistant head, came out of the school to tell them to move. He added: “We were on the road outside the school and causing no trouble.”

Yesterday, Pendle Vale headteacher Steve Wilson said: “We have a duty of care to all of our pupils. With that in mind, we felt that having a BNP billboard parked outside our multicultural school may have had an impact on pupils as they were leaving, and we asked the occupants of the vehicle to move it, as we would have done with any similar vehicle displaying a political message.”

The arrogance of the BNP is staggering.

And that of course was the point of the BNP parking outside the school - to create dissent where none exists. Why isn't this foul party banned, for Gods sake?

You have to wonder.

Because the state finds them useful, for now.

They are most obviously part of the establishment, and that includes that pig farmer from Welshpool. They were there to keep disillusioned leftwingers and Islamic pressure groups cleverly distracted during the War in Iraq and the War on terror, so they wouldn't have time to bring down the government. Rather like hunt leaders releasing foxes for their hunters to chase, MI5 and the powers that be allowed (and thanks to the likes of Hodge, hyped up!) were allowed to prosper as an able distraction.

Part of Nick Griffin's pay off for shoring up the war on terror is to help him win a seat in Brussels, and most bnp members have sadly fallen for the oldest trick in the MI5 handbook.

"Nelson school in row over BNP stunt"

That's all the BNP is - one stunt after another and absolutely nothing of any substance.

Is it possible to upload it to YouTube? I'd like to watch the vid but I don't want to go to the BNP site.

I felt sorry for the teacher, they were trying to wind him up.

Crap !!!!Over exagerated, and I wonder why those who pretend to Anti Facists in Europe have nothing but praise etc for facists outside of Europe.

BTW when did Sadam Hussain support any form of democracy ?

Fair play to the guy telling them to leave, at least he more or less managed to keep his temper in the face of provocation, and kudos to the woman who got in the cab to drive the bloody thing away. The BNP are rapidly becoming fucking intolerable.

Meant to say - thanks for the link, John.

I didn't think they let political parties use vimeo.

The late unlamented Saddam was a hefty donor to Le Pens funds over the years as were Ultra Nationalist Serbs. Who also had strong links to the Northern League in Italy.
When they fell, Le Pens party started to run into real financial problems.
