In an abusive letter, the BNP candidate for Croydon Central has called Conservative Gavin Barwell a “traitor” to his race and said he would like to see him “hung for treason”.
Cliff Le May, wrote to Mr Barwell at his campaign office after he received David Cameron’s letter urging residents not to vote for Andrew Pelling. The letter, which was seen by Mr Barwell’s wife and his seven-year-old son reads: “You dirty, sleazy scumbags. If I have my way I will see you all hung for treason.”
Mr Barwell said he received the letter after a long day on the campaign trail and because he was tired, left it out when he went to bed, where it was seen by his family. He said: “I just think it shows what kind of people these are. I don’t understand why people, when they have different views, can’t just be polite about it. If he wants to write to me about being in the EU or immigration that’s fine, but there is no need for personal abuse.”
Mr Le May was unrepentant when asked why he wrote the letter. He said: “I am referring to the entire Conservative Party – they are dirty, sleazy scumbags. This is a personal view, not a party view.”
Mr Le May did not think his letter was “harsh” and did not care his words had been seen by a child.

There's a medical term that describes this odd compulsion that certain fascists seem to have for pouring out their bile in written message form. I think it's called furor scribendi, or something similar.
Those of us who are old enough to remember Robert Relf will recognise the symptoms.
In short, just another BNP loony who needs professional help.

Isn't it amazing. The BNP crys "freedom of speech" when few eggs are thrown at Griffin to stop him spreading hate yet they threaten to execute their political opponents and that is ok?
I totally agree with the NUJ, plus the Fascist are getting too much positive coverage, it's almost as if they want the racists to win seats.
"NUJ fears job cuts and apathy could prevent 'proper' media scrutiny of BNP"

Why is the BBC allowing Barnbrook to spread his poison on prime time TV news? The Barking election report starts at 6 minutes 20 seconds in the programme.

Remember people we have alot of animal lovers in our ranks.
Thanks Sam.
I do really hope however that the appropriate individuals are doing all they can to bring Paul's capabilities up to the required standard and not looking for problems.
I guess the idea of the fascists taking over a Council is news? Besides if they win they don't want to have burned their bridges in advance. Thats how the media always operate.
