Birmingham Lib-Dems question BNP nominations

Martin Mullaney, Liberal Democrat councillor for Birmingham's Moseley and King's Heath ward, has appeared in a video posted to YouTube voicing suspicions over some names appearing on nomination papers for British National Party candidates standing in the area.

Cllr. Mullaney cites the case of an Afro-Caribbean woman whose name appears on the nomination papers for a BNP candidate standing in Lozells and East Handsworth. Cllr Mullaney reports that when questioned the woman denied having nominated the BNP candidate and said that the signature appearing on the nomination form was not hers.

According to Cllr. Mullaney, a number of individuals of apparent "ethnic background" appear to have signed BNP candidates' nomination papers - including five members of a Hindu family, a Sikh and two Muslims - which he and his team view as "suspicious".

Doubtless Cllr. Mullaney will be bringing this matter to the attention of the local Returning Officer, and we shall be watching the outcome with interest.

Fierce fight in Kirklees polls

A total of 125 candidates will be bidding for seats on Kirklees Council on May 3. Nominations closed yesterday for the 23 wards up for grabs. There are likely to be fierce contests in many of the seats.

The council's three main parties - Conservative, Labour and Lib- Dem - will face opposition from the British National Party in every ward. The Greens will be contesting all the wards except one. And there are other fringe candidates, including independent Mel Mills, the leader of a parents' group fighting to save threatened nurseries in Huddersfield.

The Save Huddersfield NHS group is fielding a candidate in Crosland Moor, after Clr Jackie Grunsell's success last year. And Boney Maroney is making her swansong as deputy leader of the Monster Raving Loony Party.
