They are obviously a small organisation for whom every penny counts, and had they decided to take the money, in spite of the adverse publicity, I for one would have found it difficult to condemn them too much, especially under the current economic climate.<br /><br />However, despite their small budget they still recognise that £1000 is a lot of money but a good reputation, once aquired, is worth much more.<br /><br />Something the Huddersfield branch of the Royal British Legion should have a good long think about.Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-30521840711810852002009-10-16T18:50:28.077+01:002009-10-16T18:50:28.077+01:00Well done to the choir.

The TV programme featured choir member Dee, a black single mum who had her confidence knocked by racist taunts from local yobbos outside her house late at night. She told the cameras this was her first ever racist experience in her life, but thankfully, just like other choir members the Choir has come to her rescue. SO, a racist county councillor giving a donation to this South Oxhey success story would be like a propaganda coup for the BNP.<br /><br />The formation of the South Oxhey Choirs (there are two of them I believe representing all ages plus a blokes choir!) is a good thing to have happened on the estate. The BNP was a bad thing, and judging by the results of the recent Hayling ward by-election (part of South Oxhey) they'll be in the history books soon!Brummienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-55975969564269188062009-10-16T13:23:20.522+01:002009-10-16T13:23:20.522+01:00BNP slaughtered in yet another by-election:

The BNP was well and truly trounced in the St Helens by-election last night, with their share of the vote falling from 30% in 2008 to 23% now. The Labour vote increased from just over 900 votes to 1520 this time.<br /><br />This was a fantastic result in one of the BNP's strongest areas. More importantly, it was a victory for the HOPE not hate campaign which ran possibly its most intense by-election effort to date. Well over 100 people got involved in our campaign over the last two months, with 45 out on Saturday alone. So, congratulations to Paul and Lorraine and everyone at HOPE not hate Yorkshire.<br /><br />I'll end on a poem written for the campaign by Ian McMillan, the poet laureate of Yorkshire and official poet of Barnsley F.C. It appeared on one of our many leaflets. <br /><br />Hope not Hate<br />by Ian McMillan<br /><br />The voices clamour in the noisy debate<br />And there's shouting and pointing and passion's high<br />But a still, small sound says 'Hope, not hate'<br />And let's just look each other in the eye<br />And say 'Welcome' and 'Hello' and 'How are you?'<br />And extend a hand of friendship not a high-raised fist<br />Because people talk to people because that's what people do<br />So let's just see things clearly and not through hatred's mist<br />And we can all decide, before it's far too late<br />That what we really need round here is Hope not Hate.West Midlands Unityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893783451377601469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-84156199337810057992009-10-16T12:15:09.021+01:002009-10-16T12:15:09.021+01:00Seeing as how this money comes from a fund for ind...Seeing as how this money comes from a fund for individual Councillors to distribute, surely it'd be a good idea if someone from a real party were to step in and make a donation?<br /><br />Better yet, Councillors from ALL the big three to chuck in a thousand each.AndyMinionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01489557191299982422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-81415025883773720592009-10-16T11:45:25.914+01:002009-10-16T11:45:25.914+01:00Well done that choir!
