Vote for the British National Party Lions in the 2009 European Elections

Richard Barnbrook Becomes BNP’s First Representative on the GLA!

British National Party supporters celebrated all night at the news that Richard Barnbrook had won the party’s first seat on the Greater London Assembly. The breakthrough, described by media observers as the party’s “most significant electoral victory to date” will see the BNP propelled into the very centre of the government of our capital city.

Richar’ds success came after several target areas polled extremely well for the BNP, including more than 12 per cent of the vote in Havering and Redbridge, almost 10 per cent of the vote in City & East, and six per cent in Ealing & Hillingdon.

In the City and East constituency, where Bob Bailey stood as a first-past-the-post candidate, the BNP polled 9.82% of the vote.

Deputy leader Simon Darby, said a seat on the London Assembly was “the icing on the cake”, and the BNP’s “equivalent of getting into the Premiership”.

The victory will undoubtedly send shockwaves through the establishment, and comes in spite of tampering with the ballot boxes, generally hostile media coverage and a huge (and probably illegal) third-party campaign against the BNP, run by the Communist extremish front organisations, working on behalf of the other parties.

The BNP’s breakthrough in London has important implications: it has shown the public at large that the BNP is a credible, electable party, which can achieve representation at all levels of government. The way has now been cleared for further breakthroughs, and the bell has now sounded for the floodgates of popular British opinion to be opened, and sweep away the debris of the old parties.

The full results for the London Assembly election are:-

Assembly representation.

1.Conservative Party 835,535 34.05%
2.The Labour Party 665,443 27.12%
3.Liberal Democrats 275,272 11.22%
4.Green Party 203,465 8.29%
5.British National Party 130,714 5.33%

No Assembly representation.

6.The Christian Choice 70,294 2.86%
7.Abolish the Congestion Charge 63,596 2.59%
8.Respect 59,721 2.43%
9.UK Independence Party 46,617 1.90%
10.English Democrats 25,569 1.04%
11.Left List 22,583 0.92%
12.Unity for Peace & Socialism 6,394 0.26%
13.Independent 3,974 0.16%
14.One London 3,430 0.14%

Righteous anger & political action:

The British National Party believes in telling the truth, even if it is sometimes uncomfortable to hear or offensive to those who would rather bury their heads in the sand than face real problems in our society. But while we often pass quite critical comment on the impact of immigration, multi-culturalism and alien religions on the indigenous people of our lands, we have no animosity towards immigrants, their descendants or the followers of non-native religions. Nor do we intend to encourage others to feel such animosity, or believe that anything we have to say is likely to 'stir up hatred' against anyone.

In fact, we believe that by providing a peaceful and Constitutional outlet for the anger and the frustration felt by millions of our people over the undemocratic transformation of our country by our political masters, the BNP actually defuses tensions. Where there is 'hate' we seek to turn it into righteous anger and political action against the only people who deserve to be hated - the politicians who use our taxes to turn our country into a place where we often feel like strangers in our own land.

    Can I just be the first to say “”CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!”"
    Well Done to the tireless efforts of The British National Party, what a proud day for Britain.
    Thankyou to each and everyone of you…..I’m just overwhelmed with joy on such a significant breakthrough……..Again..Congratulations!!!

  2. Doc on May 3rd, 2008 6:03 am

    “We’ve witnessed the first major politician elected not for telling lies but for telling the truth.” - said Simon Darby - quote of the year…no, of the decade!! Well done all.

  3. Mister J on May 3rd, 2008 6:03 am

    Well done, Richard and all the team!

  4. backbiter on May 3rd, 2008 6:21 am

    Fantastic news! All your hard work is now starting to bear fruit.

  5. Flashman on May 3rd, 2008 6:24 am

    Congratulations to Richard and all the BNP team and supporters. This is the first step in reclaiming our country. I must add that I am disgusted with the lack of coverage by the media over this sensational result, but this is what we have come to expect. The best way to get the BNP message over is talk to people you come in contact with, the snowball effect will lead to greater victories.

  6. robstew48 on May 3rd, 2008 6:36 am

    The next step lets get into Parliament.

  7. Pilgrim on May 3rd, 2008 6:36 am

    A great achievement. Let’s build on it and be cautious not to fall into the trap of resting on our laurels.
    By the way: is it not interesting how the establishment politicians are the only ones who oppose implementing tighter controls on the electoral process? I wonder why?

  8. rogshar on May 3rd, 2008 6:51 am

    Well done Richard and all the BNP workers for making this happen. Despite the bad manners of Johnson and CO who walked out when
    Richard gave his speech last night , he is an ideal representative of the BNP views and they cannot walk out when he speaked at the Assembly. Go for it Richard , maybe now the Media will take the BNP seriously. After all they cannot ignore the views of nearly 70 thousand voters.
    More important I look upon this as being a great day for the UK citizens , for once we have a politician who is working for them and not the foreigner.

  9. Heimdall on May 3rd, 2008 6:55 am

    Congratulations! This is brilliant news - no wonder the main candidates walked off stage! What was an obviously pre-arranged stunt to try and show unity backfired terribly and made them look like spoilt and ungracious brats - pathetic. Let them have their silly moments, because they know we’re coming. Our vote percentage where we stood was incredible, and even the BBC’s Newsnight had to show us in a neutral light, which, to be fair, was good of them. I don’t expect the likes of the BBC to blow sunshine up our backsides, but I do expect them to report fairly, which they have been doing of late. Once again, congratulations to all of our candidates and those who put in so much hard work behind the scenes.

  10. Vman on May 3rd, 2008 6:56 am

    Fantastic news !
    The world is a slightly better place this morning, no more nasty hateful Ken, a major humiliating defeat for the Nuscum right across the country, and last but not least an enhanced Greater London Assembly with the addition of a true Brit fighting for the rights of our own people.
    With the obvious meltdown of Labour and the inevitable election of the Tories in the next general election, I can see some light at the end of the tunnel. The tactics of suppression which Labour has tried against the people of Britain has clearly failed miserably (up yours searchlight), and it must be obvious to the Conservatives that they can not afford to go down the same murky path of hate and underhandedness when they come to power. We will not let this country slip through our fingers, keep calling us names, but we are here to stay, and we will fight you all the way in defence of what we love.

  11. Barnsley Nationalist on May 3rd, 2008 6:58 am

    Congratulations! Brilliant news.

    Well done to all involved.

    From all @ Barnsley

  12. Karl Baxter on May 3rd, 2008 7:09 am

    This is MUCH BIGGER news than the TweedleRed/TweedleBlue changing of the guard.

    While Boris’s victory represents ‘business as usual,’ Richard Barnbrook’s victory is a complete departure from the decades of poisonous politics that threaten our national existence. MUCH BIGGER NEWS!

  13. Karl Baxter on May 3rd, 2008 7:15 am

    Here’s poem ‘wot I wrote’ to celebrate our election victories:

    THE LION’S RETURN

    Dedicated to Richard ‘The Lionheart’ Barnbrook

    The Lion’s been missing these many long years
    In his absence the country has sunk to its knees
    Its people once proud are brought down so low
    by false-hearted rulers who don’t seem to know
    that Britain is great by its culture and race
    not the influx of strangers and their dissonant ways
    that have nothing to do with our land and our soil
    and the nation we built with our blood and our toil
    and defended so stoutly for a thousand years straight
    This is the reason that Britain was Great

    The Lion’s been missing since the war that was fought
    to save the whole planet from Hitler’s onslaught
    He fought then so bravely and his power and roar
    saved the whole world in that terrible war
    But wounded in battle he soon disappeared
    and no-one has seen him these many long years
    In his absence our country has gone to the dogs
    forgotten its pride, lost faith in its gods
    The Lion himself is now held in deep scorn
    by those whom he saved before they were born

    It is said that the Lion has died long ago
    but if that be the truth then why can’t they show
    the bones of the beast, his skin and his teeth
    The death of the Lion’s not a thing to believe
    Missing he may be, but rumors run rife
    that the great beast’s been heard, far off in the night
    and some say his paw marks were recently seen
    in the cities of England and on its fields still so green
    The fools who have ruled us, the people will spurn
    and the Lion, revived, to his den will return

  14. JRNationalist on May 3rd, 2008 7:15 am

    This is the best news in years, I was up at 4am to see this, cos this result meant the most to me

    I am not a BNP member but an ardent supporter, the mayor may be a clown but the assembly has the genius of Richard Barnbrook; the voice of true reason!

    Nietzsche said: “The strongest man stands alone”

    Well done Richard ‘Lionheart’ Barnbrook, GOD BLESS YOU, GOD BLESS THE BNP!

  15. ProudBrit on May 3rd, 2008 7:15 am

    FANTASTIC!!! Well done!
    Maybe we’ll occasionally be getting on Questiontime now then, like Mr Farage manages to, even though i’m not sure if UKIP’s even the fifth or sixth largest party. Maybe we’ll finally get to see some true democracy at the Beeb for our license fees.

  16. Ian Dempsey on May 3rd, 2008 7:17 am

    Congratulations to Richard, and I have to say I was so pleased to see the BNP do well in Ealing and Hillingdon. an are where in the past I’ve felt we have been forgotten, but not anymore

  17. WatTyler on May 3rd, 2008 7:20 am

    Well done everybody, it should be a lot harder for the establishment to silence us now. Our Country and People nows stand a chance of survival.

  18. Paganpete on May 3rd, 2008 7:24 am

    Wonderful - well done Richard and everyone!! Now lets see what the media can come up with! Maybe if the boxes HADN’T been tampered with it might have been two seats?

  19. Uncle Joe on May 3rd, 2008 7:24 am

    Well done!
    I see the ignorant sods walked off the rostrum when Richard came to speak, just shows the type of people? trying to run this country.

  20. Warriorbrave on May 3rd, 2008 7:29 am

    Well done congratulation perhaps now these idiots will seethe bnp is not racist its just a voice for millions of disgruntled people who are fed up of being lied to cheated on! and who have no voice’ as they see their very own country being sold for a pot of money by people who practise every sin and vice and the lives of their children blighted by a multi culture that was never voted on/and membership of the EU that we don’t want!!Even after all the intimidation by the communist anarchist Blatant biased media and labour thugs THE massive fraud the Islamic block vote Black storm front ETC; The few remaing British people ?people have found a voice in Richard Barnbrook GOD BLESS HIM and the BNP Its all we have the rest are bought men BNP 4 me

  21. Loyal and True on May 3rd, 2008 7:35 am

    Congratulations to all those who tirelessly worked to secure this victory for the British people.

    This is a massive slap in the face to the establishment and a warming that the people have had enough.

    Good luck to Richard!

  22. suffolklad on May 3rd, 2008 7:42 am

    Well done to all involved!!! I just put my ‘Congratulations to Richard Barnbrook’ message on the BBC have your say website and I wait with baited breath to see if it gets posted…

  23. Lee Barnes on May 3rd, 2008 7:47 am

    Congratulations to the BNP, the London BNP teams and Richard Barnbrook,

    This is just the beginning of the British National Revolution.

    First the GLA and then the Euro Elections.

    The Red Citadel of London has fallen - Red Ken has been kicked out, his cronies like Lee Jasper are under police investigation and will also be sacked, no more will public money be used to subsidise the pathetic far left circus in London and the BNP is now able to represent the interests of indigenous Londoners and put them first for a change.

    As the New Dawn arose over London this morning the air must have smelt so much sweeter, now that the stench of communist corruption, cant and hypocrisy is no longer being vented from the GLA building.

    It was interesting to see how much contempt the Liberati, their Armani suited remora and the parasite politicians of the Establishment parties treat democracy as when they walked out on Richards speech.

    The BNP represent the interest of the minority in London who have been abandoned, betrayed and forgotten by the establishment parties - the indigenous Londoners.

    When the political parties treat the BNP with contempt they spit in the face of the indigenous British people, British culture and London.

    The BNP can now give a voice to the indigenous Londoners, those who have watched their city be stolen from them and handed over to the ethnics and immigrants by the establishment parties.

    Sooner or later Boris the Plonker will mess up and discredit the Tories in London, and reveal just how mauch of an ass he is and thereby reveal the innate stupidity of Camerons Conservatives.

    The votes for the Tories were not votes for Tories, they were votes against Red Ken and Brown.

    Everyone hates Red Ken (except the demented liberals )and Gordon Brown and most people just voted Tory tactically to get Ken out and give Brown a kick in the arse.

    The vote for the BNP was achieved despite media lies, mass postal ballot fraud, ballot box tampering, stolen votes and the largest influx of immigrants into London in British history all of whom were given a vote and used it to vote against the BNP.

    In spite of all these factors the BNP TRIUMPHED !

    Today will be remembered as the dawn of a new era for London, one where the indigenous London folk rose up and demanded that London listen to them and the voice of the silent majority.

  24. Dr Mark on May 3rd, 2008 7:49 am

    This is only the beginning of the beginning.

  25. max1999 on May 3rd, 2008 7:49 am

    Very well done,the party deserves that win

  26. Ian Sharman on May 3rd, 2008 7:51 am

    Just as my radio alarm clock awoke me this morning, I was bought from my slumber by the news reader saying what a great night it had been for the BNP, with a GLA seat.

    Well Done All.
    The hard work payed off!

  27. Pack-it-in-Stan on May 3rd, 2008 7:52 am

    Well done Richard, well done to your support team and well done to all those new BNP councillors across the country. Of course the biggest thank you should always go to all the campaign helpers who generously gave their time free-of-charge. I feel proud to say I’m an Englishman again.

    The BNP are winning in all areas and now have a seat on the GLA how fantastic is that! Now let’s get out there and show them what the BNP can really do.

    The battle is not over by a long shot, it’s just starting so come on up and at ‘em

  28. englishfry on May 3rd, 2008 8:01 am

    Congratulations to Richard and all involved - I hope this leads on to many more victories in the future.

  29. Rod on May 3rd, 2008 8:17 am

    Progress is really being made now. I attended the election count at Crawley as a representative of Brighton BNP and despite some apprehension I never recieved one negative comment or saw anybody giving us nasty dissaproving looks as was to be expected. I did notice the photographers though, they seemed very keen to take lots of snaps of the BNP people. I doubt many of the photographs of us will find their ways into newspapers or magazines because they do not portray us how the corrupt media traditionally like to put us across. The BNP people, males and females, young and old, were all smartly dressed and wearing their red white and blue rosettes with pride, which is more than could be said for some of the red rosette wearers, who looked as if they had been dragged through a hedge backwards the moment they got out of bed fully clothed.

    I watched the news throughout the evening, hoping to see Richard Barnbrook get elected on to the GLA. At around midnight I listened to both BJ and KL make speeches, then as Richard stepped up to speak, Sky News cut him off, clearly demonstrating the sort of democracy our elite are being killed for on far away shores.

    While congratulating Richard Barnbrook on his excellent achievement lets not forget all hundreds of other people up and down the country who worked very hard toward and stood at these elections. The Crawley candidates, while not winning any seats, gained around 16 per cent of the votes, fantastic when you take into account the large percentage of ethnic minority voters who would not even consider voting for a BNP candidate. Very well done to you all!

  30. Billy Boy on May 3rd, 2008 8:24 am

    Well done Richard and all the team, at last the British people appear to be waking up. It’s now onwards and upwards. The only disapointment last night was having to sit through Boris and Red Ken’s speeches, only for the Beeb not to show Richard’s, nothing new there then! Once again, well done BNP! By the way I wonder how Tiddles Galloway is feeling this morning, thats one cat who didn’t get the cream!

  31. Mr Average on May 3rd, 2008 8:26 am

    Well done, Mr Barnbrook - your hard work has paid off!

  32. Chester1968 on May 3rd, 2008 8:31 am

    What fun to see the old marxist out of the assembly and the new breath air of mr Richard Barmbrook taking a seat, But I fear a little bit od backlash from the undemocratic left wing thugs outside city hall for a short while.

  33. timeforchange on May 3rd, 2008 8:33 am

    CONGRATULATIONS AND WELL DONE!

    We have finally made the breakthrough we have so long deserved’ despite the continued best efforts of the establishment to head us off at every turn.

    My celebatory hangover is well worth it. Off to take some paracetamol!

    THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS ON OUR BEHALF!!!

  34. pat_riot on May 3rd, 2008 8:34 am

    Richard Barnbrook is THE man and life in London and the whole of Britain is going to get very interesting after this indeed! A fantastic result! - the BNP are the saviours of our nation and I give thanks to the Lord for giving us a voice and to all the people who made this happen in the face of adversity! There is still a place for TRUTH in this evermore decietful world - hope at last!

  35. Praetorian on May 3rd, 2008 8:36 am

    During their long diaspora, the Jews used to say in their prayers “Next year in Jerusalem…”

    We should start saying in our prayers “Next year in Brussels!”

  36. This-is-England on May 3rd, 2008 8:41 am

    Well Done! This is great news even though a media blackout against the BNP was in place good prevailed.
    Well Done, from Tyneside

  37. medion on May 3rd, 2008 8:50 am

    Well done Lionheart,Lets hope you will stand up against those who want to give our Country away to the EU,May God bless you, and all that fought for you

  38. AndyK on May 3rd, 2008 8:51 am

    I discovered the news from Simon Darby’s blog at 3am this morning, then proceed to pace around the house because there was only me up to tell about it. This is simply the best news, of the best news. Congratulations to you Richard and everybody in the BNP that’s helped make this happen.
    Sadly I can’t bring myself to express the same jubilation for Boris Johnson. The man has point blank refused to exercise the decency to acknowledge or properly address Richard and the BNP. This lack of communication ability made him unsuitable as a contender for election as mayor before any other issue. If he had an ounce of decency in him, he’d resign (not likely).
    The combination of newly elected councillors’ working hard in the community coupled with Richards new voice via the GLA will bring exposure, popularity and support to the BNP at an exponential rate.
    Great show all round BNP :^)

  39. jao7 on May 3rd, 2008 8:59 am

    Livingstone out. Richard Barnbrook in.
    Life feels very sweet today!

  40. BC1959 on May 3rd, 2008 9:05 am

    WELL DONE FOR ENGLAND… AND GREAT BRITAIN… ALL THE BEST RICHARD FROM THE BLACK COUNTRY.

  41. Kentish Man on May 3rd, 2008 9:07 am

    Well done BNP. Congratulations to all those who made this success possible.

    Amid the general euphoria, some more sober thoughts on the results. We didn’t do quite as well as had been predicted on these pages, having perhaps allowed ourselves to get a little carried away with the excitement of it all and not being entirely realistic. Still, (as the media reported this morning), the BNP now has a foot firmly in the door of mainstream British politics and considering the news blackout (except for deliberate lies and smears) attacks on the website and fraudulent voting practices (allegations of which must be pursued!) the results are really very encouraging.

    I cannot believe that all those who voted for Boris Johnson and the Tories did so out of a sense of conviction in Tory policies. I rather suspect they voted AGAINST Livingstone and what Labour has done rather than FOR Johnson and Conservative policies. If this is so then what an indictment it is of democracy and a sad reflection on the state of politics in our country today. Unfortunately, people will still vote negatively until a system of proportional representation is in place, ensuring that no vote is wasted and that every one counts. The replacement of ‘first past the post’ with proportional representation must therefore be a priority.

    Once the dust has settled I think we should look at ways to build on what Nick Griffen and other Party activists have achieved so far and re-open the debate on how we can widen the Party’s appeal. We already know the public favour most of our policies, but there are some controversial issues to be faced if we are to attract the much broader level of support needed to mount a serious challenge the liblabcons.

  42. exlibleftie on May 3rd, 2008 9:10 am

    Great result from London.Inspite of all the lies,attempted smears,fraud we now have a voice in London.I hope soon Richard will be seen as THE Voice of London.We are making progress and reaching the milestone of 100 councilors is a big step forward for us.The best aspect for me was the collapse of the UKIP vote in London.Although most of these voters seem to return to voting Tory(will they ever learn),I think come next years Euro elections there is a good chance many of these will desert UKIP for us.Next year could see a real breakthrough.Also,good for us,is the current high tide of Conservatism.In the past when the Tories do well parties on the right seem to suffer and fade.Not so this time.We still managed to make advances in important areas.I can see a great opportunity opening up for us in two to three years time when folk begin to realise how much they have been conned by Cameron.Once they are in power and have to deliver,many,many folks who gave them the benefit of the doubt this time will realise just how much voting Tory is just like voting Blue Labour.Also good for us is replacing Livingstone with Boris.Time will expose(what we already know)the total vaciousness of current Conservatism.Although I would not say time is on our side in the long run thanks to mass immigration(which will continue under Cameron),in the medium term the future holds great opportunities and promise for us.So we did not make as much progress as we hoped to do yesterday.But we certainly made progress and building the basis for reaching 1000 BNP councilors in the near future.When we look at 2008 with the perspective of History we will realise what an important election this was for us.

  43. Dissident Congress on May 3rd, 2008 9:14 am

    Congratulations!

    I knew you could do it. This is now the turning point for the BNP with them winning their first “big” election, although it won’t be their last.

    My next door neighbours are members of the Green Party. They secretly knew a BNP MLA was inevitable and told me this morning it is a sad day for London. I replied it is a very happy day for London. They looked at me in disgust and replied that the Greens have an official policy not to work with the BNP and so will ignore Richard Barnbrook’s presence in meetings.

    -

    The “Greens” are not Green. We all know that.
    Nationalism connects people with the earth.
    The BNP connects native Britons and all other races with their ancient, ancestral homeland. That’s what Green really means.
    The so-called “Greens” want mass immigration to displace us in our own ancient, ancestral homeland.
    That’s why they were in bed with Red Ken.
    Times are indeed changing.
    We know who the so-called “Greens” really are.
    But now the Searchlight shines on them!

  44. vigorniensis on May 3rd, 2008 9:17 am

    We’re all very, very proud Richard and know you will take the BNP message and be a beacon of hope to those of all parties and those of none who have despaired that London was ever going to rise out from the under marxist clouds that Livingstone has inflicted upon the capital city for far too long.
    Despite all of the odds you have triumphed. God be with you Richard and all who have helped achieve this truly remarkable result. We salute all of you and take great inspiration from your achievement.
    Rest assured you have all of our best wishes from here in Worcestershire.

  45. EnglandExpects on May 3rd, 2008 9:17 am

    Awaking to this fantastic news, i had to pinch myself! I really was’nt dreaming it all. The fightback has begun! After 20 years of praying that the real Brits would awake from their slumber, this is more than i ever imagined!! Red Ken has gone, Labour are in tatters, the BNP are on the rise, the sun is shining. What more can i say?? To all at the BNP, well done! NIck for PM & God bless you all. I’m off to e-mail Mr Galloway and give him the good news……….

  46. Despairing Dan on May 3rd, 2008 9:27 am

    Congratualtions to everyone involved, and especially to Richard, who has had to endure the full weight of the anti BNP machine. How nice to see Red Ken removed from his cosy little nest. There will be some worried people now, who used to suck up to the traitor. Let us now build on these fantastic results which show that even allowing for fraud, which I am convinced has been going on, and the continual biased reporting, and lies of the media, that the British public are waking up to what has been going on, and really do want to save our country for future generations. Onward and Upward!

  47. Paganpete on May 3rd, 2008 9:32 am

    I agree with Kentish man - now we need to work EVEN harder - BIG campaigns of public education etc etc to offset all the slander we will get from the asinine media. Well done to Richard the lionheart - even if they did snub him at his speech - just shows what they think of the populace who voted for him! With the ‘Lion’ and the ‘Griffon’ in the party we are going ever upwards!

    For ME, for YOU, for BRITAIN.

  48. PaulW on May 3rd, 2008 9:38 am

    Fantastic news! As well as the seats, it’s the sheer number of people voting BNP! Mangaed to get 2 comments published in the Times:-
    ————————
    “who votes for these people” Well Chris, at just over 5% about 1 in 20 people. That’s a lot of people in a city the size of London. It’s called democracy - get over it. Well done to the British National Party - they did it despite their opponents throwing every smear possible at them.
    P. Williams, London, England

    And:-

    He is a truly brave man who will say what many think but dare not say. Richard, I salute you. Good luck and I’m sure you will work hard to put much needed pressure on our far too cosy political establishment.

    P. Williams, London, England
    ————————
    Go Richard!

  49. AndyK on May 3rd, 2008 9:39 am

    I think support for the BNP has allready increased. There are a lot of new users messaging this site this fine morning :-)))) It’s probably because the public are becoming more convinced that we actually have some clout!

  50. JIM GREEN on May 3rd, 2008 9:41 am

    An excellent day for Britain,

  51. Dartford_patriot1 on May 3rd, 2008 9:42 am

    Red Ken Mugabe is OUT!

    Congratulations are in order!! I’m sure that the good people in Barking & Dagenham (and indeed all over London) will give Richard a heroes welcome! A brilliant result!

    I’m sure that Richard will do a fine job. I can see a break in the clouds already!!
    The BNP have a definite and positive future in politics now! We will get our voices heard. Good luck and God bless!

  52. ExpatNorge on May 3rd, 2008 9:45 am

    Fantastic result, being expat I never got to see the results live, but did see this on Yahoo this morning…

    http://uk.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20080503/tuk-uk-britain-bnp-fa6b408.html

    Some decent publicity for a change, but sadly still tainted by the remarks of one or two of “the enhancers” at the end.

    Once again, well done guys, I may be coming home sooner than I expected.

  53. troubleatmill on May 3rd, 2008 9:53 am

    We should not let Richard’s success blind us to the question - why were the seals on the ballot boxes broken overnight Thursday/Friday whilst in “safe custody”? This, in turn, leads us to another question - how many votes did Richard/BNP REALLY get?

  54. Englishman first on May 3rd, 2008 10:00 am

    Congratulations, and the best wishes in the World to Richard Barnbrook in his new job. While this is a big milestone in our progress, just think what opportunities a level playing field would present us with.

  55. Dissident Congress on May 3rd, 2008 10:10 am

    Something I have noticed is a poor result for George Galloway’s Respect Party. Does this imply that the Muslim vote has now returned to Labour because they promise to build new mosques from taxpayer’s money? If it has, then it reminds me of child abuser trying to make up with the children he has abused by offering them bags of sweets, and the children falling for it. Some Londoners really do have short memories.

  56. karlc on May 3rd, 2008 10:16 am

    Christmas has come early! What’s better than this? Ok, 2 or 3 GLA representatives but WE’RE IN anyhow! Well done.

  57. icequeen on May 3rd, 2008 10:20 am

    Congratulations to the BNP for success on May 1st and a voice for all the British people of London who have continually been undermined by political correctness & human rights of every other nationality. I hope this is the start of increased voting across the country to rid it of overseas spongers. Good Luck Richard and do it for London.

  58. Angryman on May 3rd, 2008 10:22 am

    All very democratic then? Walking off the stage when democratic candidate and representative of the people, Richard Barnbrook speaks. The Greens policy of not working with and ignoring the BNP (presumably this means Richard). They don’t care, it seems, for the views of the representative of a large number of people in London and they call us fascist!

    Well done everyone especially Richard. I’m sure that you won’t let them ignore you, so stick to them when you are sitting on the Assembly. We will not be ignored.

  59. darkmatter on May 3rd, 2008 10:25 am

    Red Ken is out and Richard the Lionheart Barnbrook is in. This is a message for the other filthy traitor George Galloway, who, no doubt, is crying into his communist cornflakes this morning. What have you got to say about this George eh??…You’ve gone a bit quiet now haven’t you!.

  60. White Rose on May 3rd, 2008 10:27 am

    Congratulations Simon. What a difference a day makes, or should that be what a difference 0.33% makes. Well done to each and every voter. This is wonderful and I am supremely chuffed. I am off to Bulgaria to attend the Bulgarian Army’s military parade for its holiday on their St.George’s Day, May 6. Perhaps Simon could suggest to the GLA that they twin London with Sofia or Varna. That way we may get to have an official St George’s day parade ourselves. I mean a proper one with the whole country attending. More power to your elbow. Well done also to Nick Griffin’s vision and leadership. Take a look out of your window, Nick. Tell me. What do you see? I can see you, and I can now see me. Private joke from Nick’s song ICU. Great White Shark Records. BRAVO BNP.

  61. Catmar on May 3rd, 2008 10:30 am

    Congratulations to Richard Barnbrook a well deserved victory for the true British Subjects of these Islands.

    If and when the BNP get into power and tell the EU where to stick their federal state, is the BNP going to print their own money using Gold as the backing and burn all that fiat money (produced from thin air)?

    The world must free itself from the banksters who must be sent packing and made broke so that we can all enjoy freedom from tax slavery.

  62. Bigglez on May 3rd, 2008 10:31 am

    Congratulations all round. One hundred seats and Richard on the GLA, in spite of Mugabe Brown’s crooked electoral system. I bet red Ken regrets teaming up with nu-liebour.

  63. realmoney on May 3rd, 2008 10:34 am

    My warmest congratulations to Richard and his team, it is a well deserved victory and the light of hope to all who love this country.

    For Richard though the real battle starts now. The spectacle of the the other members walking off the stage when Richard gave his speech is just a foretaste of things to come. They will go to any lengths to isolate him and at the same time his every word and action will be under the closest scrutiny. For Richard city hall will be a very lonely and dangerous place. He will be tested every day. The best the other trash can do now is to make sure Richard achieves nothing.
    Keep the faith Richard.

  64. RW on May 3rd, 2008 10:38 am

    http://results.londonelects.org.uk/Results/AssemblyResults.aspx
    Full results for the Assembly from a London site. UKIP lost two seats; BNP got 1.. I’m certain there’s been fraud. (Note they say there’s been 0 percent change in all the percentages…) I suspect one seat was permitted as there may have been pressure otherwise.

    11-8-3-2-1 split with Conservatives leading. Hm. Actually not that much change in elected seats no doubt because of ‘ethnic’ collusion.

    http://results.londonelects.org.uk/Results/MayoralResult.aspx
    Livingstone’s downfall. I expect he genuinely believes he’s left wing, and still has contempt for the ‘pigmies’ (his word) who disliked his secret lying coteries.

    Anyway congratulations to Richard. And indeed London itself. I believe the BNP will get some London funding now, too. And a few good BNP soundbites and comments must make some difference. He’ll need broad shoulders… Boris might prove an easy target though. And this website will grow in importance.

  65. lancashirelad on May 3rd, 2008 10:41 am

    Well done Richard, by the way you were the only one who looked like you should be Mayor, the other lot looked like a bunch of gypos, i think you were the only one who made an effort to look smart.

  66. ginger on May 3rd, 2008 10:46 am

    Again, this is fantastic news and definately the icing on the cake that the BNP has deserved.

    Last night I was appalled at the BBC’s insistent coverage of the 3 main parties. There was prett much zero mention about any of the other parties, who we may not like, but who have also worked hard to get their voices heard.

    I decided to look on Sky News to see if there was any other info to be found regarding the BNP, but as expected, only coverage of the 3 main parties.

    Congratulations to Richard and all the best for the upcoming future!

  67. RW on May 3rd, 2008 10:49 am

    Worth mentioning too the inbuilt proportional representation portion of the London voting system. I have no idea who thought up the system, but it does allow out-of-party voices to be heard, to an extent. Of course with full PR there would have been more BNP seats (and probably Green and others) and Lib Dems for that matter. But a thank-you to the designers of the system for recognising that big parties don’t always work.

  68. Lickyalips on May 3rd, 2008 10:51 am

    And still the BBC don’t let go.
    On the Ceefax news page which reported Richard’s success, they said ‘critics (un-named, of course) are calling it a victory for violence, thuggery and stupidity’.
    I do despair.

  69. Gamlegorm The White on May 3rd, 2008 10:52 am

    Tears in the eyes last night and this morning! That was one mighty step forward on the road to us winning OUR country back. I would like to go for a run but think that sitting on a park bench with a cigar outside the old mans hut in the warm sunshine will be more dignified for today. And wait for that long lost smile to grow broad again. Knowing that I/we are not alone after all is a good feeling.

    For thirty years I waited to put my views across
    For thirty years I had been told to be quiet
    Had been told to say nothing
    “Forty years you mean” said someone else.

    Far too long we have waited
    Some in sadness, some in vain, some unable to take the strain
    Be it thirty or forty it is quite plain
    We will not wait again.

    The silence of the ‘stifled’
    The silenced send this stern reply
    Our silence we have paid for
    ‘It’s your turn now’

    We have bowed, wept and watched
    We have swelled in anger scorned
    No longer alone in silence
    Our silence turns to venom for the truth to be unveiled.

    For thirty years I waited to put my views across
    “Forty you mean” said someone else
    Far too long we have waited
    And left it; to someone else.

    I wander round this foreign town I used to proudly call my town
    I wander round this foreign place my childhood dreams all gone
    I think of all the wasted years that silence has inflicted
    To those that laugh and grin and say “you don’t fit in”

    To them I now reply “foreigner, simple or traitor, which category are you, all three?”
    Not me!
    Never to be silenced for want of speaking out.

  70. goldenmerlin on May 3rd, 2008 11:13 am

    To quote the great man himself. “This is not the end. This is not even the beginning of the end, but perhaps it is the end of the beginning”. Well done everybody, well done indeed.

  71. Fatso on May 3rd, 2008 11:15 am

    This is absolutely fantastic news, along with Boris winning and ousting that creep Livingstone and his cronies.

    This needs to be built on and we must not screw this chance up with inter party squabbles etc.

    I noted that the English National Party, Respect and UKIP failed miserably. My advice to the English Nationalists is join with the BNP and together we can speak with one very loud voice!

    Well done Richard and his team in London and well done to the teams up and down the country who did a fantastic job.

  72. Malcontent_Patriot on May 3rd, 2008 11:16 am

    Well done to Richard for his success in the GLA. However, let this success not act as a diversionary tactic to appease the party.

    While rejoicing in the success don’t lose sight of that fact that (I’ll counter) the BNP has been robbed.

    What will the United Nations have to say on this election that has been sullied by ballot rigging, intimidation, media blackout, illegal third party interference, gerrymandering in the form of bought votes and the flood of government friendly immigrants…

    This state of affairs needs to be published world wide. The people of the world MUST be told of the dictatorship that has replaced democracy in Britain.

    Furthermore, the British army must be made aware of this.

  73. Mr Average on May 3rd, 2008 11:20 am

    How strange that just two days before the local elections, TV viewers are told that immigrants are returning in droves to their homelands ( “So, if you had any concerns on this issue you needn’t worry….the problem has solved itself”) How cynical is THAT!
    But Barnbrook still got his place through the (semi) democratic process.

  74. AndyK on May 3rd, 2008 11:23 am

    RE ExpatNorge’s message regarding Yahoo. It may be worth pointing out for future reference BNP that Yahoo tend to provide an unbiased “as is” news coverage!!! As standard, when you open Yahoo messenger, up pops their news, and zillions across the UK and the rest of the world use their service which is free. Yahoo might just jump at the chance of having first refusal on reporting about the BNP.

  75. bertie bert on May 3rd, 2008 11:24 am

    Richard Barnbrooks speech that was cut off in the BBC and skys live transmission.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7381633.stm

  76. ash on May 3rd, 2008 11:31 am

    well done too all members the start of greater things too come.

  77. Duracell on May 3rd, 2008 11:44 am

    Gamlegorm The White, fine words & all very very true.
    I’m sure most, if not all of our members will agree, that Richard is the right man for the job, he speaks with passion & conviction, unlike the LibLabCon politicians, who have lied & let the voters down time after time.
    Once again Congratulations to Richard & all the hard working active members.
    The future of the BNP & it’s supporters has never looked better!

  78. idealist on May 3rd, 2008 11:44 am

    Congratulations to Richard for his hard work. The BNP has proven in spite of corruption at the ballot box and unfavourable media coverage that it can make concrete strides ahead. There is a long way to go still but this well deserved London Assembly victory is a significant milestone on the daunting journey ahead.

  79. Simon.C on May 3rd, 2008 11:51 am

    Success was inevitable and well justified.The people have spoken their minds.
    Of course the BBC and other media controlled bodies will try their upmost to avoid contact with the BNP,but reassure yourselves fellow countrymen that its just a matter of time until they cannot ignore us any longer.The pressure is now on and with Richard at the helm there’s only one course to steer.
    Keep up your passion and pass it on.

  80. bernard on May 3rd, 2008 11:53 am

    What is also significant is that the media ‘dug the dirt’ on Mr. Barnbrook BEFORE he got elected, which the electorate have ignored.
    The way is now ahead for him to carry on, knowing that the gunpowder in the media locker has burnt out!
    Back to the drawing-board for the failed Daily Mail. Ha!

  81. paladin2 on May 3rd, 2008 11:58 am

    Congratulations! Our capital may begin to return to being a British city… People are slowly waking up! The left have been unchallenged for far too long.

    I hope Boris delivers better than Red Ken did and I’m sure Richard Barnbrook will be a force for change.

    It must me tough to be repeatedly called a Nazi, considering they bombed and nearly flattened our great capital. He seems to have gotten more flak than Ken did, and ken wasted a budget of billions!

    I’m celebrating a victory for freedom and democracy tonight! Cheers!

  82. Mendal on May 3rd, 2008 12:01 pm

    Well done Richard and team!!!

    The future is certainly looking bright for the BNP. I’ll be with ya all the way!

  83. darkmatter on May 3rd, 2008 12:10 pm

    Thanks for the link to Richards speech bertie bert. Was absolutely furious that Sky cut this short. What a day!

  84. ben_sw18 on May 3rd, 2008 12:17 pm

    Fantastic News.

    This party is being build on SOLID foundations and is truely the peoples party because we have had NO mass media coverage, or if we do it is negative.

    This i believe in the long run will actually be to our benefit making us MORE dedicated, MORE together, STRONGER and much MORE sustainable.

    130,000 odd votes is an awesome achievement and people from ALL over England should be congratulated - as people also travelled far and wide on our days of action.

    Mass media coverage is important in terms of reaching the mainstream audience, however we have 2 huge advantages going for us as a party going forward in 2008:

    1) Loyal, dedicated, honest and trust worthy members.

    2) The internet. With internet penetration at 90% in the UK and rising, the establishment can not keep us quiet anymore and we are able to communicate to anyone and everyone our policies and our viewpoint.

    So they will see we are not racist, angry, nasty people. But focused nationalists that care about our homeland, our values and way of life SO much and will never give in.

    Well enjoy today one and all, especially you Richard Barnbrook you deserve a day off i think!!

    Warm congratulations.

  86. Mr.k on May 3rd, 2008 12:27 pm

    I must say i am utterly shocked, and more happy than i was when England won the rugby world cup and more happy when Swindon Town FC gained promomtion. I was surprised when they were reading out the mayoral votes. Richard didn’t really do that bad, 60 odd thousand votes is rather impressive considering the size of our party. We are getting bigger and bigger and bigger and no matter what hurdles we face, we shall overcome them. God bless all at the BNP, i should probably go and thank god that we won (yes im a christian, don’t laugh lol)

  87. ron7055 on May 3rd, 2008 12:31 pm

    Just watched Richard Barnbrook’s speech and have to say he was more passionate than Red Ken or Boring Boris.

    WELL DONE BNP!

  88. Nottinghamian on May 3rd, 2008 12:38 pm

    Well done everyone. Maybe not as good a result as some were expecting, but rather a gradual build up than a flash-in-the-pan like UKIP.

    My regards and respects to those few other candidates who had the decency to stay on the rostum and listen to Richard’s speech. Does anyone know who they were?

  89. News Team on May 3rd, 2008 12:38 pm

    Our website received 2.8 million hits yesterday alone! (46,000 unique visitors). It used to average 7,500 three months ago. Daily average now is 19,000.

    The message is getting out loud and clear!

  90. nina on May 3rd, 2008 12:40 pm

    Fantastic speech Richard, it brought tears to our eyes. It is a long time since a political speech has been made without lies, deceit and spin. We are proud of you. Give them everything they deserve.

  91. JohnBavaria on May 3rd, 2008 12:41 pm

    Congratulations BNP. I’m sorry but I and my wife couldn’t face being foreign in our own country, and so we left England to live in the mountains of Bavaria. While we both feel much safer now, we have never forgotten our homeland or the people who remain to face the subsidised immigrant onslaught. No-one should be angry or upset with the behaviour of the other “politicians” on the assembly, who showed their ignorance by walking out when Richard Barnbrook stepped forward to speak. In fact, we all should be very happy because their behaviour clearly shows their fear, fear that their day of judgement will soon be upon them. I sincerely hope I will still be alive when that day comes, and that ALL traitors to our country and to our race receive their just deserts.

    Well done BNP, and all those who work hard to support you.

  92. Mendal on May 3rd, 2008 12:42 pm

    Just watched Richards’s speech, absolutely fantastic!!!

    The behaviour of those who left as Richard took his turn to speak was disgusting, it was incredibly rude. I’ve completely gone off Boris now.

    Up the BNP!

  93. Mr.k on May 3rd, 2008 12:43 pm

    News team or Ed, can i suggest you put Richard’s speech on BNP tv. I just watched it and it was a very powerful inspiring speech and made me smile. —> see smiling :).
    And Web team, you think your getting massive hits now?
    this is just the start!
    Wait till we get into parliament, the page shall explode with hits.

  94. This is my country on May 3rd, 2008 12:45 pm

    PHEW!! (sighs a LARGE sigh of relief ……… )
    After years of doom and gloom and more and more absurd pc laws and pandering to those who shout the loudest and give back the least, FINALLY, we have a balanced voice in the way things are done. I have to admit that as a white Englishman, things were getting very scary for me in my own country. At least now we have someone standing up for us, objecting to the, “oh, we can’t breach the non conforming minority’s rights so lets give them whatever they want and sod the consequences”.
    England is a fantastic country, the British Empire used to control such a large proportion of the world. Lets get the pride back in our nation,teach the young to be proud of their culture and history.
    The world will be looking at Richard and he has to promote the BNP as a level headed, forward thinking and HONEST party.
    All the best and so very well done on your result.

  95. darkmatter on May 3rd, 2008 12:46 pm

    In reply to the news team and the new hits on the BNP website. There may be an innocent explanation for this, it may be Lee Jasper and Ken Livingstone’s cronies applying to Richard for a job!..Well there was enough of them werent there.

  96. M J Dean on May 3rd, 2008 12:54 pm

    Mr. Barnbrook,
    You sir, are an inspiration!

  98. AndrewB on May 3rd, 2008 1:08 pm

    Yesterday morning the media were trying to play down the results by saying there had been no increase in the BNP vote since last year. As the day went on the truth became apparent, but this was the icing on the cake. Now for the euro elections when the the whole country will be able to vote BNP.

  99. bernard on May 3rd, 2008 1:17 pm

    2.8 million hits! Strewth!
    And over a ‘ton’ of comments to date!

  101. UprightMan on May 3rd, 2008 1:39 pm

    Congratulations Richard and thanks to Nick Griffin for bringing the BNP to this result. Onwards!

  102. CllrLeppert on May 3rd, 2008 2:00 pm

    When you are right, you just know you are! One of the things that cements my love and commitment to the British National Party is witnessing some of the appalling and cretinous behavior of our opponents representatives on big election nights. Win or lose, BNP folk ALWAYS conduct ourselves with dignity, grace, and courtesy to everybody else involved.
    Last night in City Hall however, some of the other parties antics were beyond pathetic. UKIP’s humiliated Mayoral candidate for example, conducted himself during his speech with no more decorum than one of the unwashed far-left imbeciles who hurl childish abuse at us whenever they can get more than 3 or 4 of them to turn up!
    As one Tory activist I was chatting to in City Hall last night said to me, “Gerald Batten embarrassed himself, big time”.
    If any UKIP members or voters are reading this, your party is a JOKE and you are being represented by some seriously low-calibre people. For Gods sake get out of that hopeless Micky Mouse outfit and help the BNP give our children a British future instead!
    Cllr Julian Leppert

  103. News Team on May 3rd, 2008 2:03 pm
