Much to our amusement the wheels also appear to have come off the National Front election campaign this morning.We reported yesterday that the NF had announced it would stand candidates across England and Scotland. The NF was very pleased with itself. Not for long, however.
Following the close of nominations it quickly became apparent that the NF had actually failed to get its nomination papers into Birmingham council in time and was therefore ineligible to stand any candidates in the city. This is the first time that anyone at Searchlight can remember the NF not standing in Birmingham.
Only the day before, the NF website had announced six candidates in Birmingham, in Kingstanding, New Oscott, Quinton, Shard End, Sheldon and South Yardley. The website was hastily amended in an attempt to hide the truth of the party’s incompetence.
Whoever runs it does not appear to have told the NF’s press officer Tom Linden. When Searchlight phoned him earlier, Linden had absolutely no knowledge that Birmingham NF had fumbled the ball. Indeed he thought Birmingham NF was standing nine candidates not six. The left hand clearly does not know what the right hand is doing. When we rang back for further comment Linden had turned his phone off.
It would seem that it is not just BNP candidates who are doing a disappearing act.

Is there a special place people go to have their brains removed when they join far-right political parties, or are they expected to do it themselves? You know, with a coat hanger in the ear or something?

Remove brain, then join.

Maybe help is on the way for the far right as the New Scientist article suggests. They seem to have disproportionate number of psychopaths in their ranks.
Considering they always see themselves as the master race and superior to everyone else, they always seem to be at a disadvantage and have an uncanny ability to be complete clotheads at best and psychopaths at worst. Maybe this treatment that is being pioneered could help them overcome their racism, their hatred, their so called racial superiority and learn to love the human race and not hate it. The colour of a person skin is immaterial.
Maybe we should some sympathy on occasions for these poor individuals and help them find treatment. They certainly need it.
We have to thank our lucky stars that the far right often show themselves incapable of organising a round of drinks, probably because they knocked back a bit too much of the booze in the first place.
Above all else, we must remain vigilant and must not rely on their incompetence to see us through at time of mass unemployment in a very uncertain world.

No brain? Then join! Although I think you'll find it's more of a birth defect than a coat hanger.

The ultra loonies of the BPP are fielding one candidate

Seems that the NF are imitating the BNP with their electoral victories -even before May 5th elections.
