Sharon Ebanks scraping the nazi barrel for NNP candidates

Sharon Ebanks' New Nationalist Party (NNP), desperate to find candidates to stand in the forthcoming local government elections in May, seems to be frantically approaching all and sundry - even the worst outcasts of the nazi world - to find enough people to stand in order to give her already-ailing party (dubbed the 'Dodgy Desperados' by her friends) some credibility on the far-right.

The NNP is already packed with BNP rejects including ex-treasurers, ex-organisers and ex-fake councillors but this, it seems, is not enough. Now Ebanks has had to resort to appealing to the real nazi lowlifes to support her. Yes, even lower than the BNP - hard to believe, we know.

According to a number of posts on the Stormfront forum, the Birmingham-based Ebanks has approached 57 year-old Eddy Morrison, so-called 'National Political Advisor' to the three-men and a very large dog group, the British People's Party, to try to sign him up. Why she'd want to when he's a renowned drunken incompetent is beyond us but apparently it's true.

Morrison, you may recall, stood in last years council elections in Bramley, duping a pensioner into signing his nomination form by telling her it was a petition against the closure of a local shopping centre. When his ruse was discovered a complaint was made to the police but the case was dropped when Morrison got such a pitifully low vote that it made absolutely no difference to the outcome. Chagrined by this disaster, Morrison promptly resigned in a huff and vowed never to stand again.

Unsteady Eddy has been around the hardcore nazi scene for years though his jumping from group to group in a dismal and doomed attempt to get some kind of power base has provoked comment even from those whom one would assume to be his colleagues. One nazi forum had this to say; 'Eddy Morrison has indeed had a remarkable career. He has been fighting for 'Nationalist Unity' in the National Front, [the notoriously violent] National Democratic Freedom Movement (his own), British National Party (his own) circa 1977, National Front again, British Movement, National Action Party (his own), National Front (again), New National Front, British National Party, National Front (again), Aryan Unity, White Nationalist party, Spearhead Support group, Spearhead Group, Nationalist Alliance and finally British Peoples Party...'

Even if he isn't a success at anything he tries, he may well hold the world record for being useless in more nazi groups than anyone else.

As foolish and impotent as Morrison is though, he is still a confirmed nazi. When approached by Ebanks, his alleged response was to ask her to prove her 'racial ancestry'. This is an allusion to the strong rumour (supported, incidentally, by her mother) that her father, Radwell Ebanks, was black. We don't care what her ancestry is but this response from Morrison serves to show where his concerns lie and indicates clearly the nature of the man. In any case, Ebanks refused to satisfy his curiousity.

Following her resignation/expulsion (the story depends on who tells it) from the BNP and the formation of the NNP, Ebanks promised that her party would field a full slate of candidates across Birmingham. Whether this was because she wanted to be the queen bee of Midlands right-wing political life or just to get the BNP back for its mistreatment of her over her wrongful election last year isn't clear. The BNP is said to be furious at her for the fuss she's made ever since - including starting her own party in a fit of pique - and will do everything it can to stop her. From our point of view of course, any split in the right-wing vote is excellent.

Ebanks' approach to Morrison shouldn't really surprise anyone. Black father or not, she's a racist through and through and obviously expected a better welcome - though Morrison, easily confused, could have been even more confused by her conflicting statements.

Ebanks on race: 'I'm not a racist'
Ebanks on Solihull: '...Solihull is a paki-infested dump.'

Holocaust-denier Morrison has now asked Ebanks to stop emailing him and to stop wasting his time. Rejected by the voters, the BNP and now by the idiotic Eddy Morrison. Things are not looking good for the ghastly Sharon Ebanks.

England First Party's new chairman is convicted electoral fraudster

The England First Party (EFP) chairman Mark Cotterill, has resigned and is handing over the reins to convicted electoral fraudster Steve Smith. Smith, the former organiser for the British National Party's Burnley branch, has taken over immediately, following Cotterill's announcement that he is leaving to take up a new job in Preston.

Steve Smith followed the usual path of the English nazi, first being involved in the BNP, moving away from that when he was about to be convicted for electoral fraud and into the British People's Party (a more hardcore nazi group led by alcoholic Eddie Morrison and moronic Redwatch organiser Kevin Watmough), then drifting on to the EFP when he realised that the BPP was a dead duck.

EFP have managed to con the voters into putting two third-rate councillors into office in Blackburn, Cotterill himself and pub-owner Michael Johnson, and Smith is obviously hoping the party can build on that and add him to the list.

Smith's pedigree is just about what one would expect from a veteran of the BNP, BPP and EFP. A couple of years back he resigned from the BNP, ostensibly over its treatment of his nephew Luke Smith, former Burnley BNP councillor, football hooligan and violent thug extraordinaire. Following an incident where he smashed a bottle into the face of someone with whom he was having a disagreement at the BNP's annual 'family' do, the Red, White and Blue Festival, the BNP unceremoniously dumped him, much to Uncle Steve's chagrin. The BNP seemed perfectly content with Luke Smith's record of hooliganism; it just didn't like it when he got a bit more personal. The party of law and order, huh?

The real reason Steve Smith resigned was that he was about to be convicted for electoral fraud, which led to his being sentenced to six months on January 16th, 2002. He admitted to allowing false nominations to be submitted for the 2001 elections and received the sentence plus the statutory five-year ban on standing for public office.

Mark Cotterill, the outgoing EFP Chairman, is the main former fundraiser for the BNP via the now defunct American Friends of the BNP, who went off in a huff to start his own group, the England First Party (EFP), after a major fall-out with Nick Griffin over, rumour has it, large quantities of cash disappearing. Curious how most of the more prominent ex-BNP people resigned over money issues (with the dishonourable exception of Tony Lecomber), particularly given ex-bankrupt Nick Griffin's personal financial history.

The skills that Smith displayed when he was a BNP organiser will hopefully cause chaos in the EFP. His proteges include his ghastly nephew Luke, Maureen Stowe, who eventually resigned and led a campaign against the BNP, and the truly appalling Brian Turner, a violent racist who was convicted of assaulting his wife and a police officer in September 2005, a conviction that he can add to his previous eleven and his most recent, of racially abusing a group of Asian men in May 2006.

With the supremely untalented Smith in charge, we should see the demise of the England First Party within a year or two. We look forward to it.

Note: The '14 words' message on Smith's T-shirt refers to a corruption of a statement in Volume 1, Chapter 8 of Mein Kampf, commonly given as 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children'. A well-used nazi phrase.
