Plans by the British National Party to field a candidate in Hackney's mayoral elections in May have sparked anger from the borough's current incumbent as well as anti race-hate campaigners.
The far-right party has said it intends putting up candidates in mayoral elections in the three London boroughs of Hackney, Newham and Lewisham
Jules Pipe, who is hoping to be re-elected for a third four-year term in Hackney, said the borough was renowned for how well its diverse ethnic communities got on, which was why, with no tensions to prey on, the BNP hadn't contested Hackney for many years.
"Residents would overwhelmingly see through their pretence at respectability and reject their racism at the ballot box," he added.
Terry Fitzpatrick, an independent researcher and campaigner on the far right, who lives in South Hackney, questioned whether the party would have the funds to pay the £500 deposits needed to run for mayor.
"The BNP has also made wild claims of standing 300 candidates for Parliament in the general wlection, but the party is technically bankrupt," he said.

As if the party would be bank rolling it anyway.Theses researchers haven't the first clue about the BNP or how the party works.
Pino88 or Liam Pinkham, one of the British Freedom Fighters has just confirmed on Stormfront that he will be attending the EDL's visit to Bradford to help start a riot.
Pinkham has a recent criminal conviction for threatening to burn down a shop in Liverpool, makes lots of Adolf Hitler salutes, and is exactly the hardcore neonazi "firestarter" needed to get the riots started.

Altogether the mood is one of celebration on Stormfront at the prospect of another Bradford riot. "It's about time Bradford was visited again", they say, referring to the last fateful visit by the National Front.
Isn't Terry Fitzpatrick the rather unpleasant alcoholic who posts racist nonsense over on Socialist Unity?
