  2. best leave my obsession with the residents association and the BNP until later heh?

    More pressing issues here methinks

    God this is a great day

    BNP achieve .0045% of elected councillors

    ReplyDelete
  3. Is that news from the last election? The BBC reports turnout is estimated at 45% - up from 36.95% in 2004.

    ReplyDelete
  4. The BNP have averaged an increase of 5 new councillors per year (taking a random sample of those I can remember: this year and last) which should see them hit 1000 councillors around the year 2198. Even to get to 100 councillors would take them another decade at the rate they're growing.

    Not sure about a quiet revolution but it's a hell of a slow one.

    Sounds about right - though this turnout figure keeps changing dramatically.

  10. From the Guardian diary:

    Wednesday April 30 2008

    And it is not just the prospect of a Johnson mayoralty that has us all excited. It is the concurrent joy there would be if the BNP, which has bequeathed the Tory its second-preference votes, burgled its way on to the London assembly. Second on the party's list is Robert Bailey, a councillor in Barking, east London, who last week rang his local paper, the Barking & Dagenham Recorder, to discuss its election coverage. He made powerful points to the paper's news editor, but on sensing that she had failed to take them on board, unleashed a tirade of four-letter words, pausing only to draw breath and to call her a "Nazi", a "shit" and a "fucking jobsworth". Half an hour later, Bailey and associates parked their car outside the paper's offices from which they shouted slogans via a loud-hailer. It took a community support officer to move them on. Could this say much about the party's attitude to antisocial behaviour? The high-ups obviously thought so, for the next day Bailey was back on the phone, making a grovelling apology. "I'm not a yob ... I'm sorry for some of the things I said," he told the editor. "We all have our moments sometimes." Some more than others.

  11. Final results are in

    159 of 159 councils have officially declared

    Total number of councillors elected = 8424

    Total number of BNP councillors elected = 37

    that equates to the BNP managing .0043% of councillors elected

    THE RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION BEAT THE BNP BY 6 VOTES

    17% MORE SUCCESS THAN THE BNP

    Wheres my Jameson !!!

  12. Well done the Residents Association.

    Looks like the London results wont be until about 10 pm according to BBC Radio 5

    ReplyDelete
  13. London Elects says:

    2.4million voters turn out at the polls

    Early indications show turnout in this year's London elections is 45%. This is equivalent to approximately 2.4 million voters.

    The accurate figure will not be known until the whole count is complete later this evening.

    This is the first time more than 2 million people have turned out to vote in the London elections.

    Turnout in 2004 was 37% (1.9 million voters). This means the number of people voting increased by 20% this year compared to 2004.

  17. The spin the BNP is using to try and hide this disaster is comical.

    they are claiming to have 100 councilors!!!!!!

    I wonder will they ever list them and show how many are unelected parish councillors?

    now we all know that a lot of BNP people visit this site and I have a question for them.

    Do you really believe this spin?
    Do you really believe that parish councillors will make a difference?
    Will you continue to fund the leaders of this vile party with their lies?

    Could be a flash in the pan. Blackham was from Beckenham which is part of Bromley, they held a march there and they fought the By Election there. BUT..... If the NF polled as high, relatively as that, dos it mean the BNP are on course for a LA seat

  93. Was it 'cos some of the racist minority voters attracted to vote for Boris Johnson's London Conservatives first over the "piccaninnies" racial slur voters, were also BNP supporters, but their hatred of Ken Livingstone was greater than their love of the BNP, because the far right are obcessed with hating socialism to the detriment of their white supremacist "racial pride".

  94. Is that confirmed?

    They didn't get three or even two and if it's true Bumbrook only just scraped it.

  98. If it's true, hopefully somebody can dig up more of the dirt on bumbrook to make him a laughing stock.

    Just hope parliament never has proportional representation so these scumbags can never become parliamentary members.

    If bumbrook is partial to cottaging as rumours said hopefully cameraphones will be on hand to post said videos on youtube, as the homophobia of the bnp would soon cause the party to drop this drunken prick.

    They didn't meet targets, went into decline, only just got over 5% to bag a GLA seat.

    How indeed will Cyclops repay those dear loyal brainless rebels when his court cases resume over the next few weeks, folks?

    Just like Adolf Hitler who repaid the generals who plotted against him.

  114. How much time can Barnbrook devote to the LA seeing as he is also a councillor in Barking.

    He is prone to gaffes and is not articulate considering he is a teacher, or was.

    UKIP got two elected last time round it didnt catipult them to greater success. Why should it the BNP?

    It has saved Nick Griffin's neck that is all, if they hadnt got the seat the rebels would have got more supporters.

    I doubt there'll be a leadership challenge now.

    For the time being the BNP will be happy bunnies

  117. When I was a naughty seven year old girl, my mum dad and sister refused to speak to me for the rest of the day. The silent treatment, they called it.

    How long would it take for the pervert freakshow to crack if nobody speaks to him for the next four years?

    If everybody gives bumbrook the silent treatment, he would probably start fighting and threatening people because that's what he's like when he's drunk.

    Fun and games await!

    ReplyDelete
  118. It serves the rebels right for helping a man they loathed, Nick Griffin, by offering their support for Richard.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Just a thought - If Boris Johnson is a changed man since his "piccanninny" days, he must try to win the confidence back of London's non-white population by totally and utterly humiliating bumbrook. Anything less would keep the rumours alive that Boris Johnson is indeed a racist.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Sugar! I dozed off at half 1 and missed the end.

    No worries about Barnbrook, would've been surprising if he didn't sneak in even if he only just made it.

    Old Nicky boy was there to get his share of the £400,000 was he?

    Great couple of nights all round, nothing for us to worry about but in Barnbrook the best target we've got.

    All the antifash who got out have a bloody good drink, you deserve it, and to Ketlan and Denise bloody well done with this blog. They hate you so you're doing everything right.

  121. Just got in from work I think I speak for many people when I say a big thank you to Denise and Ketlan.
    There are lot of people who use this site as their first point of call for anti BNP stuff and I'm one of them.
    As Irish Tony has pointed out several times this has not been a very good election for the bnp with them only winning 10 seats (well done to the residents assc') but the media have as always made a big deal of the BNP breakthrough. Front page of my local paper, BBC Radio 5 ect.
    The BNP are still a very small party and we have 4 years of Dicky to look forward too. Keep at them, keep laughing at them and keep annoying them. If there is one thing a bnp member doesn't like, that is being laughed at.
    Again many thanks to K+D.
    John
