Amid all the chaos and confusion that appears to have arisen in the BNP, it has another problem prodding it in the rear end - the loss of a councillor
The party's only councillor in Solihull, George Morgan, whose record in office is dire, has decided not to seek re-election this year - probably because he wouldn't get back in.
At the same time, the former BNP and England First Party councillor for Brinsworth and Catcliffe, John Gamble, who decided to switch over to the National Front just a few weeks back, has decided to go back to the EFP after apparently being horrified at the National Front's openly racist and white supremacist views.
Gamble, who became a BNP councillor in 2008, switched to the EFP after an argument with party bosses, then switched to the NF because the EFP was too boring. It seems the NF was just a bit too exciting for the delicate Cllr Gamble, who, while horrified by racism, appears only to have interested himself in belonging to openly racist parties.
One useless BNP councillor down and another useless ex-BNP councillor well on his way out. April 1st is looking up.
"horrified at the National Front's openly racist and white supremacist views"
ReplyDeleteWhat a moron! Well, at least, the NF are open in their racism and anti-Semitism and don't hide behind 'weasel words' like the BNP do. Seems this Gamble guy is a racist but, like most racists nowadays, likes to hide behind policies like 'voluntary repatriation'.
BNP to EFP to NF then back to EFP. A strange political journey indeed for a man who is horrified by racism.
ReplyDeleteGamble denies being racist, claiming that he's had "coloured" girlfriends in the past. He's obviously not sexist either then. He's still a pillock though.
ReplyDeleteOn the fascist EDL's webshite I just read a message from the once-hostile West Midlands Police to the EDL.....
ReplyDeleteMessage to EDL Supporters from West Midlands Police
Wednesday, 31 March 2010 14:42
"MOST of you will be well aware of the protest planned for Dudley on Saturday.
You will also know only too well the events in Bolton , which were marred by arrests, injuries and recriminations. Protesters from both sides and some who sought to attach themselves were arrested and the media were quick to report extensively on the levels of violence.
Our message to supporters of the EDL’s values and principles is simple.
We are prepared to enable you to make your honestly held opinions known and will enable any peaceful means for you to do that on the day. But for that to be successful and for your views to have any chance of reaching and striking a chord with the wider public, they cannot be overshadowed by violence.
Our priority on Saturday will be the safety of the public and protesters and the policing operation will be robust and decisive to fully reflect that. Any incidents of disorder or racially motivated crime from any quarter will lead to arrest, with the offenders risking prosecution. We are committed to upholding your democratic right to air your beliefs, but only if you do so peacefully.
On the day you will come into contact with West Midlands Police officers who will guide you. We would ask that you accede to any requests to ensure all EDL supporters wishing to attend can reach the agreed venue safely. There will also be officers filming the event to ensure any protesters, whether affiliated to one of the groups or not, are not allowed to sabotage your protest through criminal action. Officers looking for any signs of weapons and banners which can be turned into weapons, will also be checking for evidence of drug taking and excess drunkenness.
Whilst West Midlands Police have a duty to enable the event to go ahead, we also have a duty to those people who live and work in the town. They are people who may well agree with your sentiments – maintaining peace in their town while getting your opinions across in a peaceful manner will strengthen their support".
WHY THE FUCK ARE THE POLICE SUGGESTING THAT THE ORDINARY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC "MIGHT AGREE WITH THE EDL'S RACIST SENTEMENTS???
DO THE POLICE AGREE WITH THE EDL'S SENTIMENTS?
IS THIS ALL TO DO WITH THE GRASSING THAT WENT ON IN THAT SHEFFIELD POLICE STATION?
"They are people who may well agree with your sentiments – maintaining peace in their town while getting your opinions across in a peaceful manner will strengthen their support".
ReplyDeleteThe cops are now coaching the EDL in how best to get public support.
I used to be wary of conspiracy theories but I am slowly coming around to believe that the State are the EDL's enablers.
The quote at the start is an amazing statement and shows that the cosy relationship between the cops and the EDL mirrors that which existed between the police and the 70's NF.
