Despite much hype and a good deal of help from BNP activists from surrounding areas, Steve Fyfe (known as 'sidneysausage' to the Guns 'n Ammo
cognoscenti), the party's Grimsby organiser, managed to come a stunning fourth in the Yarborough Ward by-election yesterday - coincidentally his fourth attempt to win a seat on North East Lincolnshire Council. The full result is below:
Yarborough Ward by-election (North East Lincs Council)
Thursday March 26thPeter Kenneth Bailey: Liberal Democrat 763 (35.8%)
Kath Norton: Conservative 513 (24.1%)
Michael Stephen Taylor: Labour 437 (20.5%)
Steve Fyfe: British National Party 370 (17.4%)Martin Joseph Grant: The Generalist Party 49 (2.3%)
Mr Sausage Fyfe managed to get an unhealthy 17.4%, which suggests that local anti-fascists need to step up their anti-BNP activity between now and the Euro elections on June 4th, as do we all. You can read considerably more about Fyfe
