BRITISH National Party councillors in Leicestershire have taken on the Tories over a planning application the Conservative-run council wanted to push through without any public consultation.
The proposed development is for a 72 acre industrial and distribution development by UK Coal at the South Leicestershire Coal Disposal Point off Beveridge Lane in Ellistown. The largest unit would stand 58ft high and cover seven acres and the site would require more than 800 vehicles a day, most of them heavy vehicles, and all using the already busy Midland and Whitehill Roads.
The matter was first due to go before the planning committee of North West Leicestershire District Council on Wednesday 7th May despite there having been no public consultation on the huge development. This prompted BNP councillors Graham Partner and Ian Meller to go into action and produce an Ellistown Patriot newsletter which in formed local residents of the Tory Council’s intention.
“Ellistown does not need this development,” said the leaflet. “Think of the pollution and think of the noise which will be 24 hours a day and seven days a week. It won’t contribute anything to the community and will hit already falling house prices even further.”
The Tories tried to claim that the development would create hundreds of job opportunities, but this was rejected by the BNP councillors who said that it wouldn’t be local people that were employed but just HGV agency drivers and low-paid migrant workers.
Conservative Party councillors were livid that their best laid plans had been exposed by the British National Party and they launched a bitter attack on the BNP councillors at a full council meeting on Tuesday 13 May 2008 during a discussion about the new Planning Committee proposals. BNP councillor Graham Partner reports the proceedings on his blog.
“Still smarting after being publicly chastized for their role in a very dubious committee decision which they pretend was above board and proper, they obviously thought Tuesday would be a good opportunity to gain revenge on the two BNP councillors.
“In a moment of sheer stupidity, they verbally attacked the BNP in an attempt to justify their own culpability in the planning decision. The BNP members sat quietly, content to hear the abuse in the knowledge that right is on their side. Nothing the Tories said or will ever say can cover up the fact that they did not wish the people of Ellistown to know about the application in question and only the BNP had exposed that fraud by leafleting the area just one day before the Parish and two before the Planning Committee meetings.
“We have nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to hide. The public had every right to know what was going on and they can judge us themselves.
“Their words hold no fear for us and neither do their threats. We serve the people, they serve themselves. That is the difference.
“Just for you Blue cry babies I’ve included one of my favourite Kipling poems below.
IF by Rudyard Kipling
IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,’
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man, my son!”
With the Labour Party in disarray across the country it is being left to the British National Party to stand up for the rights of ordinary people against the big business and the back-handers that so typifies the excesses of Cameron’s Conservative Party.

Well done lads - keep the moral high ground and we shall be just fine! May take the Jeremy Kyle generation a while to wake up - but when they do - we shall be well placed (deity willing)!
Excellent work BNP. The more the BNP stands up for the people, the more the news will spread across the nation resulting in more support for the party.
Well done councillors Graham Partner and Ian Meller.
The planning meeting was an excellent night–a lot of people from the village went along and our councillors did everything possible to make the others see sense and stop it. Unfortunately, big business is what makes the Tories tick and they were pushing this one through regardless. After the meeting we villagers were talking outside, along with Cllr Partner (cllr Meller was still in the planning meeting). The Tory cllr (and deputy leader of the council) who came second to Graham in last year’s election came out to speak to us–the backlash from the locals was great to hear. “You had your chance. You have stabbed us in the back. We’re all voting BNP now–only they stick up for us” etc etc.. Brought a smile to my face.
The Tories are not happy with us, as we let the people know what’s happening, which is what a councillor is elected to do (or so we in the BNP believe, if not the others). Lots more to come on this but all in due time don’t want to give them a heads up. Full report will be sent to Freedom so make sure you get your monthly copy. NWL group organiser Wayne McDermott

Good work! Now folks will know why the last person “they” wanted on the GLA was Richard Barnbrook!-Ed
Very well done to Councillors Mellor and Partner.
This is also a clear signal that the tories will treat the public who voted for them with same utter contempt as their self-serving labour colleagues - sorry, counterparts.
Haven’t we British had enough of these shameless liars, swindlers and con-artists?
Excellent work. Let’s hear of more stories like this.
This stance for the people should now be promoted at every opportunity. That community must know who are their friends (the altruistic BNP) and who are their enemies (self-serving avaricious Tories).
A very well done indeed.
OT but an EXCELLENT post on the Green Arrow blog - As he says, Mr Griffin needs to respond to this, oh yes!

Excellent, well done BNP councillors - go get em, go get the bad guys.
I’m just wondering how low the Unholy Trinity will go when they try to push through planning applications to turn the defunct Houses of Parliament into a highly desirable block of apartments with prime river views after national parliaments are rendered obsolete and illegal under the Lisbon treaty.
………………………………
It would make a good mosque - Ed
This should serve as an example to ALL councillors’ across the country from ALL parties, but only BNP councillors will listen to what people want!
If the BNP is winning or not we will always be there to back the people up where no one else will.
Fantastic work! “What a worth while decision I made when I voted BNP” must be what people in NW Leicestershire are saying.
Three cheers for the BNP. Hip, hip, Hurrah!
This is why the One-Party-With-Three-Names fears BNP councillors. They ask inconvenient questions. Massive workplace means more traffic, more immigration, more housing, more supermarkets etc. Plus they can’t be bought.
One head of the Cerberus caught with his slimey mit in the till maybe. Caught by the Double headed crusaders of the truth.
This is the sort of action that BNP councillors will be known for. The local and national papers will keep stoom, but news travels (despite the NUJ cowards) by word of mouth, and the net. Keep up the good work Brave men of Ellistown.
Further to my earlier comments regarding treatment of veterans by Northampton General Hospital.
Please note that father was in D Troop but I will not say on here which one he was they were all hero’s every one of them. As were so many others.
But for anyone that might be interested please see:

Yes, well done. There are countless councils (including ‘mine’) that push through their schemes without proper publicity. I was amused at the claim it would create hundreds of jobs — and the reply quotes - HGV agency drivers [foreign?] and low paid migrant workers. It’s the sort of issue that’s relatively easy to grasp, too, unlike for example shady finance deals where the small print ties you to some maintenance outfit or to private contracts, or sells off assets below the full value taking into account things like training.
Well done BNP councillors!!
Well the House of Lords doesn’t mind spending our money either!!

On the subject of ‘planning permission’ and ‘public enquiries’:
“Newport Liberal Democrats have expressed concern after it emerged that the decision to sell the Maindee Pools was based on an unfinished feasibility study. The feasibility study which was ordered in Spring 2006 was not completed before the decision to sell the site was taken in January this year.
Commenting Councilor Jeff Evans said: “It appears this decision has been rushed. The whole point of the feasibility report was to explore potential options for the building and to take account of the constraints of the site. We now know that the report was not finished nor its final conclusions fully considered. Once again, the site has been badly handled by the Council.”
http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/swanews/display.var.2275345.0.maindee_pool_sold_at_auction.php
So much for due process or protocol. Oh well, we now seem to have other ‘priorities’.
Well done, BNP councillors. As King Aragorn said, “This day, we fight! Stand, men of the West!”
Thanks for the link, Gamlegorm, I’ve bookmarked it.
Here are a few quotes from ‘Quartered Safe Out Here’ by the late George MacDonald Fraser, about his WW2 service in Burma in 1945 with 9th Battalion, the Border Regiment. I think they are pretty well on-topic, for most BNP articles.
Fraser is writing about the July 1945 Khaki Election. Aged 20, he was too young to vote but he says this of the older men he served with who did vote (most for ‘old’ Labour. As one from Carlisle said, language edited a bit, “Ah’s votin’ Labour, an’ Ah don’t give a monkey’s…who the candidate is. It can be George Formby. He’ll get my vote. Ah want Churchill out, an’ his whole gang. Ah remember the ’thirties, marra. Ah want rid of the Tories, see. They got us into this war, didn’t they?”).
“They voted with high hopes, for a better, fairer Britain, and to some extent they got it. But, the Britain they see in their old age [1990s] is hardly “the land fit for heroes” that they fought for.
“They did not fight for a Britain which would be dishonestly railroaded into Europe against the people’s will.
“They did not fight for a Britain where successive governments would encourage crime and violence on an unprecedented scale.
“They did not fight for a Britain where children could be snatched from their homes and parents…on nothing more than the good old Inquisition principle of secret information.”
Doesn’t Blears want everyone to spy on their neighbours now?
Fraser concludes as follows.
“They did not fight for a Britain where to hold by truths and values which have been thought good and worthy for a thousand years would be to run the risk of being called “fascist” – that, really, is the greatest and most pitiful irony of all.”
Enter the BNP. Our fight now, folks.
As always it’s the innocents that suffer . . .

Just shows how ‘enrichment’ works.
It would appear that the Tory councillors have approved the plan.
Neverthless, this is an important breakthrough because it means that
they now have virtually no hope of being re-elected at the
next local council election - assuming of course that the EUSSR doesn’t cancel it because it regards the Regional Assembly as being the only legitimate local authority.
Certainly the people of Ellistown have seen in action, at first hand, probably the first and only councillors of honesty and integrity ever to be seen in their ward in 50 years.
We now have 100 honest councillors up and down the country. If their impact is as powerful as this one, then we must be on the verge of a major political breakthrough.
Graham Partner and Ian Meller have just cause today to feel very proud of their work and of the townspeople who supported them. What the BNP promises, the BNP delivers. That’s REAL “community cohesion”.
Well done, Cllrs Partner and Meller for this action on behalf of your constituents.
It was good to read the post from Wayne McD and the reactions of the local people to the deceit and treachery of the Cons.
“We’re all voting BNP now” is heartening to hear, but also says that at least some, perhaps many, did not do so before. Thanks to an effective BNP action, even in the face of Tory abuse, their locality was saved from disaster. Let’s hope it doesn’t take this kind of near ruination before people wake up. Surely there has been enough national damage for our people to begin to tear themselves away from the Daily Mirror and Eastenders?
BNP causing a stink………..nice!
Keep your eyes open, and your whistles handy lads.
Isn’t it great to see honesty and decency start to take hold and will surely grow just like a beautiful rose blooming in the sun - God bless the BNP. I am starting to feel a sense of pride.
BNP 4 me
Lets just hope that the 3 groups of liars don’t adopt our policy of honesty, because as time has shown, the public tend to think they have changed and go back to voting for the idiots.
Any news on whats happening about the unwanted development? are the Tories still going ahead with it, or have you (the BNP) stopped them in their tracks?
Just a thought. This one was caught by Honest men. Think of the thousands that have gone through on the nod-and-wink principle. Thousands of brown envelopes. This would also include the dark forces of Freemasonry, my favorite subject. Some other time when the subject arises.
Off topics take time to review and place, and confuse issues, creating extra work for staff.
Please post on appropriate article or retain for future reference. Thanks. - Ed
Great news, but we had a greater opportunity to humiliate the Torys at the Crewe and Nantwich by-election tomorrow, but sadly we could not get someone to stand in that area. I would gamble my life we would have come a very very close second.
-
The people of Crewe and Nantwich will see the real face of the liblabcon trick.
By next years MEP elections they’ll all want the BNP. - Ed
I understand that NW Leicestershire Labour MP David Taylor is now opposing the development, though not of course the BNP.
samba, these are the results (rounded to nearest) for the last 3 general elections:-
1997 Lab 58 Con 27 LDem 12
2001 Lab 54 Con 30 LDem 14
2005 Lab 50 Con 33 LDem 19
I haven’t attempted to look at the subdivisions - I believe Crewe is poorer than Nantwich - but on the face of it, more candidates might allow Labour in by splitting the anti-labour vote.
It seems likely that it may be best not to have put up a candidate.
But [See the article on Dudley] turnouts in wards with no BNP candidate the first time round, went up by +5%, +12%, +14%, +32% when a BNP candidate stood.
So… if labour had got in, it won’t affect their slow grinding decline. Extra turnout might have made a difference and produced a credible result to be tucked under the BNP’s belt… you can argue it both ways, really.

Quick! Ship in more immigrants! - Ed.
Whenever these projects are made public,there is always emphasis on the “benefits” they will bring to the local community.Always after clandestine meetings between local politicians and their “sugar daddies”who are going to bestow these blessings on the community.Alas,as we all know,the advantages are always in favour of anyone BUT the locals.Thank Heaven for the BNP,who are proving their worth to the whole country by standing up to the dictators who try to foist the public off with lies.
A few years ago, there was going to be a development in my area. I spoke to my local councillor and asked him for help to oppose it. He said “anything that puts this area on the map is OK by me.” Turns out he was the git that was selling the land. New Labour councillor by the way.
Oh, and just as a follow up - it caused chaos for the local residents with 24/7 lighting which upset the local wildlife and increased congestion on the roads.
Trust New Labour to line their pockets.
