Four years ago, in early 2004 the BNP was plotting great things in Crewe. A County Council by-election in the town, following the death of a Labour member, saw them hit the town with their traditional campaigning approach:
- deliver a few leaflets
- get the local press to run "BNP to target town" stories
- make up some stories to frighten the locals (in this case branding Portuguese migrant workers as "asylum seekers" who were all given free mobile phones and cars)
- use the publicity to unearth some willing (stupid?) local activists
- claim a tremendous doorstep reception - 'thumbs up from passing motorists', 'people applauding our candidate in the street', 'families offering their virgin daughters to our canvassing team'
What happened? The Lib Dems took the seat, Labour second, the BNP and Tories a distant third and fourth.
At which point a distant third became a triumph. They would be standing candidates in all 19 borough seats a month later. But in fact they stood...er...nil! (Their County Council candidate couldn't stand - he lived outside the borough; as did their agent).
In 2005 they fielded three candidates; in 2006 two (all five came last); in 2007...nil; and in the 2008 elections to the new Cheshire East Unitary Council...nil, again. And all this against the background of a town which has seen one of the highest rates of Eastern European migration in Britain.
And following the death of Gwyneth Dunwoody in April they had the chance to contest a parliamentary by-election. Briefly Stormfront got excited. It was a great opportunity - 'White Man' urged that a candidate should be fielded, warning that 'nominations must be closing before long'. Posted at 5.24pm - on the day nominations closed. At 4pm. Don't you just love these idiots (well, no actually).
At which point failing to find a candidate suddenly became a tactical masterstroke. Or, at least, a bloody relief to the residents of Crewe and Nantwich.

See hannam is trying for respectability
The quiet revolution is in a very deep sleep indeed, especially after three of the most recently acquired (not elected) councillors jacked it in before their first meeting.
"See hannam is trying for respectability"
Hannam's a fuckwit who is always trying to get a shag on the side despite being married. Look at him and Mark Collett last year.

"Great, a readers article again. It 'd be great to have more."
I definitely agree with that. Come on people, let's all have a go.
Nice article, webeatthebnp. Thanks.

Too bloody right it's a relief.

Quiet revolution my arse
Good stuff, although webeatthebnp always reads a little bit like 'we be at the bnp' to me.
families offering their virgin daughters to our canvassing team
That will be Mark Collett then.

Bev Jones The Tameside Beast In Jelly Belly Jiggerypokery Three Way Tug Of Love Scandal
'From the people who want honesty and a return to family values'
All is not well in a terraced house in Ashton. The home of Bev and Dave Jones who have broken away from the British National Party in order (according to them) to modernise the BNP and take it back from the present leadership of Nick Griffin. In return the Jones's along with Sadie Graham, Pratt Dingle and a small handfull of 'rebels' like Kenny 'The Gimp' Smith insist that with their leadership they will enforce honesty, truthfulness and family values within the party and ensure it stays there. Nothing wrong with that the less weary of you may think but heres why those who do know better point and laugh at these people.
From his terraced house in Ashton, Greater Manchester Dave Jones has a long and tiresome job of getting up in a morning. Disabled Dave who relies on his wife for even the most mundane task around the home must now feed all the cats alone as Bev is nowhere to be seen. While confiding in anyone who would listen Dave Jones, obviously distressed and the situation he has now found himself in is quite open about whats happened.
"She's left me" Dave sighs. "Shes not with me anymore". It turns out that Bev Jones really isn't with Dave anymore. Despite her large bulk we suppose a woman still has needs no matter how many pies she can consume during the Coronation Street ad break and according to Dave after a few years of progressivly failing to satisfy her in the bedroom department due to his illness she has gone elsewhere. And where did she go Dave? "...shes at Richard Chadfields". It seems that bouncy bonking Bev wanted 'dick' in more ways than one and after giving Dave an ultimatum and incidently due to illness an ultimatum he would never be able to honour she packed her bags and is now living with Chadfield, leaving a very distraught Dave to fend for himself.
As the home they shared now falls into decay the smell of cat shit and piss overwhelms the house as Dave finds it difficult to get around, and combine that with the knowledge that his missus has left him for another bloke because he can't get it up anymore it makes for pitiful reading doesn't it, particularly as they are just two of the people who claim to stand for honesty, truth and family values. Dave revealed that Bev said "I want sex that you can't provide". To be fair to Bev atleast she was 'honest' in this instance but she has also been less than truthful and definately has no concept of family values. But in the case of Richard Chadfield we have no option but to applaud him on his conquest. If he can tame the Tameside Beast then we take our hats off to him and provide a polite round of applause.
So what of poor old Dave Jones now? Well Dave just seems to be wasting away but he spends his time going online and posting on the STORMFRONT FORUM as ASHTONSCOUT so atleast he has some cyber-friends and he can take on a whole new persona and vent his frustrations on there.
And these people want to take over the BNP? Cuckoo-cuckoo!!
Odinist Lee Barnes's blog seems to be getting carried away with Germanic folk history. The latest entry of the stupid blog is devoted to dodgy Saxon mythology, and even worse for the BNP modernists (if they really exist), he is praising a young skinhead german nazi rock band called Sleipnir who sing songs praising Hitler and recalling Stalingrad with sorrow. Barnes then launches into a brainless tirade on how the establishment is keeping white supremacist hate music out of the charts.
In defending skinhead music, Barnes compares these racist german hatemongers to America's founding fathers, Isrealis who set up the state and so on, forgetting somewhat that MOST GERMANS DO NOT WISH TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH NATIONAL SOCIALISTS.
They can put spin on BNP policies, they can even run candidates who claim they "are not that racist", but when it comes to religion, history and philosophy the main movers and shakers in the party are as pro-Hitler as ever.
Cheers, legal beagle, you're keeping the BNP unelectable by maintaining links to skinheads and Adolf Hitler.
Anti-racists everywhere are indebted to your efforts to keep (so-called) British nationalism aligned to Norse mythology, Germanic folk myths, and unadulterated love of Hitler's Nazis.
The BNP can keep such allegiances hidden and secret, they can replace the swastica with the union jack, use spin doctors to make speeches more palatble, and (wrongly) claim BNP members are banned from the openly Nazi forum Stormfront, but they cannot hide their evil philosophical motivations from public view.
They can shed bits and bats of their constitution to clean up the party's public image, but to maintain the financial support of Don Black, etc., they must secretly maintain links to skinheads and Hitler lovers.
This is the millstone around the BNP's neck that will ultimately sink the party without trace.
If a proper nationalist party couldn't hold onto its votes through thick and thin, what hope have s fake patriotic party which relies on Islamophobia and world events, when world events change, and newspapers eventually do an expose on the British National Party loving Germanic national socialism.
A nice quick and dirty breakdown of a BNP campaign. Well done webeatthebnp.
I think you may be missing the point of the BNP not contesting by-elections.
They will contest council, and all sort of local, by-elections, with gusto. They sometimes get good results, sometimes excellent ones. The local candidate gets all sorts of local publicity, plus mentions here, and on similar sites. All helps to build the BNP image, and so forth.
Parliamentary by-elections are a different kettle of fish. They get massive national publicity. The candidate, if he does well, will get massive national publicity. Take a BNP members wet dream, assume they contested Crewe, did really well, got the bulk of the anti-Labour backlash and the Lib Dem protest vote (not impossible) and ended up second to the Tories, with, say, 22% of the poll. A remarkable vote, but not entirely impossible. The BNP candidate would immediately be promoted to the level of support Beacon got when he won Millwall, within the BNP. If the candidate was an ambitious sort, or a secret lover of Big Bev, or whatever, a very, very serious leadership challanger would suddenly emerge.
If, on the other hand, the Tories get the protest vote and the BNP has to rely on its hard-core of supporters, it would end up at the bottom of the poll with, say, less than 3% of the vote. A very poor showing, but again not impossible. If Griffin had put himself up as the candidate, the poor result would reflect on him, making him much more vulnerable. If it was another candidate, same result for Griffin, but to a lesser extent.
The BNP won't contest by-elections (unless it is in an area where they can be sure of a good vote, like Dagenham or Stoke), in which case either Griffin or a hardcore Griffin loyalist will be the candidate, because a good vote could create a Griffin rival and a poor vote could cripple Griffin.
Griffin wouldn't know which way to jump in Crewe. The whole structure of the BNP is set up to do what is good for Griffin, not the BNP. Always remember that, and the tactics of the BNP make much more sense.

"In defending skinhead music, Barnes compares these racist german hatemongers to America's founding fathers, Isrealis who set up the state and so on, forgetting somewhat that MOST GERMANS DO NOT WISH TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH NATIONAL SOCIALISTS."
Not to mention most Israelis! What a muppet Barnes is.
One day Cyclops will dump Barnes too.
He's waiting his moment.
First in, first out, unfortunately, as the newcomers are the first to challenge the Griffin cabal and get dispatched from the bnp first.
It's a bit like the original Star Trek, where the likes of Captain Kirk, Bones McCoy and Mr Spock never died, as they were household names and were expendible, whereas newcomers don't recieve the same protection from Griffin's ire.
What a bunch of complete and absolute dildos!!!
