THE British National Party are involved in three local council elections today, in Yorkshire, Lancashire and Essex.
The three contests are very much ‘looking to improve our vote‘ contests as the Party seeks to build up its foundations of support in preparation for next year’s all-important European Elections.
In Cranbrook Ward for Redbridge Council, our candidate Anthony Young has something of a mountain to climb. You only have to take a look at the names of the candidates standing for the three main parties back in 2006 to understand the reasons why . . . Ashok Kumar (Con), Muhammad Asif Niaz (Lib-Dem), Surinder Pahl (Lab), Shushila Patel (Lab) and Satnam Singh (Lab).
But after the London Assembly elections in May of this year, we do have a benchmark as to our support and something to build on. The BNP share of the vote in Cranbrook ward was just 2.2% and we were even beaten by the Respect candidate so, hopefully, there’s only one way our vote can go and that is up!
The ward should be a keenly contested marginal but with the Labour vote in freefall it looks a safe Tory seat.

May 2006: Con 1778, 1625, 1500 Lab 1070, 1013, 961. Lib-Dem 551, 514, 495.
In Dalton Ward for Kirklees Council, Jonathan Wright is standing once again for the BNP. He was our candidate just two months ago when he polled 460 votes which was 10.7% of the vote.
Here again, Labour was a main player and the interest lies in whether or not its vote will hold up and if it doesn’t, where will it go. Hopefully the BNP will attract some of it and our vote will improve on May’s tally.

By far the most interesting contest for us today is in Wigan West where BNP candidate Christopher Hilton will be hoping to increase our share of the vote from the 14.5% polled in May.
This is a Labour stronghold and it is difficult to see it ever being anything else, but if disillusioned Labour voters are looking for an alternative then the BNP might just fit the bill.
No doubt the Labour candidate is hoping that with UKIP deciding to enter the fray, their candidate will syphon off a few possible BNP voters.

All the very best to all our brave candidates. May god be with you and I hope so much that the growing trend of the British people waking up and coming aboard the good ship BNP continues.
PLEASE PLEASE VOTE BNP. If everyone who votes for us educates a friend of the party and aquires a vote, we will literally go from contesting third and fourth place regularly - to contesting first on a regular basis. The tide is turning.
Ben, London.
Good luck to all BNP candidates in these elections. We’re on the march now, and there ain’t no stopping us!!!!
Mountains are there to be climbed, so put your best foot forward and start the long march. Good luck and best wishes to all the candidates. This will be an important test of which way the wind is blowing. I hope it’s a refreshing West wind and not one from the bitter East.
Good luck to all BNP candidates in today’s elections. Some of us may not live in your part of the country but you are in our hearts and minds.
Good luck to everyone of you.
How easily an area can be lost to islam.
Take toytown for exacmple, this area is 20% muslim.
the candidates are.

Now anyone with commonsense would realise that muslims will vote to further islam, so Ali would expect 99% of the muslim vote. The non muslim population, with a high percentage of doughnut heads (the product of deliberate dummed down education) that don’t bother to vote because East Enders and Big Brother is more important, thats say 50%. So we have some 31% that do vote.
their votes are divided between the 4 candidates. Now brain tells me that the muslim candidate has an automatic 19% head start and add to that the dhimmies that will vote for him too.
Once a muslim councillor is elected , who do you think he will be really serving?
So wake up people get out and vote, and vote BNP.
just in case of doubt they tend to collect and fill in the postal votes themselves - Ed
A friend of mine who has had threats made against him and his family by a practitioner of the “religion of peace” decided to telephone the BNP when the police and various other “support services” virtually washed their hands of the matter (I wonder why?). Rather than the knuckle-dragging thug of popular legend, he spoke to, what he called, the nicest, most polite lady, who certainly took his concerns far more seriously than any of the official bodies he asked for help. He tells me his membership subscription will be in the post shortly.
Good luck to all today’s candidates! And perhaps all those who are living in some so-far “un-enriched” cloud-cuckoo land ought to consider who they might give their vote to when their opportunity comes to decide whether they want cohesion or chaos for this country in the future.
Dear bertie bert, in your Toytown election, has Mr Plod the policeman been politicised yet, and why hasn’t Noddy or Big Ears stood for election, or have they been mugged by those naughty little goll… oops, elves?
All I can say is GOOD LUCK BNP!
-
Thanks. I’ve passed the query on -Ed
Very good luck & let’s not forget the work, effort, preparation and slog that goes into all this, not to mention the insults and aggression which they must presumably face. Also of course it’s first past the post so most candidates can’t win. Anyway - good luck!
Best of British good luck to all our brave candidates and support personnel.You are fighting the good fight on our behalf and no matter what the result, will always have our undying gratitude.
The very thought of the vile traitors having to behold true British patriots is a delight to the soul.
Best of British to the brave BNP candidates today !!
Goodluck everyone, from all the caulkheads, fight the good fight!
To all of our courageous BNP men and women standing tall in this evenings by-elections, God bless, good luck and good fortune.
May OUR GOD be at your sides and help you through; we should all say a prayer for their success.
Good luck candidates, give them a taste of British electoral steel.
Good luck to all the brave and bold standing up for our cause today. Whatever your results, you will have played your part in the fight to regain our country.
Good luck to the three candidates standing today. I wish you all success. People in these three areas - get out there vote BNP and do your bit to save our country.
Best wishes to these three candidates who are standing up for our country and people.
Aye, it’s great to see British Nationalists are keeping the flag flying, good luck boys-March on BNP
It will be interesting to see how the Labour (£24,000,000 in Debt) Party does? Will they manage to avoid BANKRUPTCY?
Best of LUCK to all BNP Candidates and voters.

Who’s she kidding with a name like that? The PM has the most appropriate surname in immigrant Britain.
It’s the only bit of transparency they allow!
Stick to it, man, and as they say, vote BNP
Good luck. Getting so many candidates is a victory already.
The Best of British to you all! It is so refreshing to see that we have good, honest people contesting seats, and willing to work for the good of their communities.
Good Luck Chaps!
I wish it was closer to me–I would be with them every day. Good luck and God bless, from a fellow Christian.
Good luck to all our candidates. Every far-seeing, sensible man and woman is behind you. We will all definitely rise together to fight for our country.

Not a bad effort.
……..
The effort was there, the voters weren’t - or it may be something to do with cardboard ballot-boxes and overnight storage! That seems to be standard procedure now wherever the BNP have a candidate standing. - Ed
Because UKIP stood in Wigan this time round, they took 5% of our vote.
We significantly beat UKIP literally everywhere we contest against them - but where they do stand against us, they are denting our number of votes just enough to be really annoying. eg: Henley, where we easily beat the dying UKIP as expected. However, if they hadn’t stood there, we almost certainly would have got the 80 extra votes to finish 3rd - above the Greens.
As a political force they’re dead; so whats the point in UKIP even existing anymore?! Except to damage our vote?! I’m sure thats all they’re trying to do now. Damn annoying.
they’re an Establishment stooge, safety valve set-up, alex - Ed
I mean no disrespect to all those brave and hard working BNP people who took part in these elections, but these results from three very different and widely separated places are pretty grisly - particularly at time when we thought we were on the up and up. Has anyone got any idea as to what has happened to our vote?
-
Ups and downs, jrb. Ups and downs.
On the upside, more people daily are ‘getting it’.
They might even twig the Davies/Cameron ruse eventually too ;-) - Ed
It’s hard to beat the LibLabCon in some places, they’re practised in the art of voter manipulation. Shame on us for being honest and fair-minded I suppose.
The Cranbrook election is a case in point. Mahboob Chaudhury was listed as Matthew Chaudhury in a number of publications and (I think) on the ballot paper, too. Is this an attempt by the candidate to integrate with his host country by adopting an Anglicised name, or a cynical ploy to keep Tory voters from rejecting a candidate because he’s Asian?
Standing an Asian candidate in an area populated by people from the same ethnic group is another trick used to good effect against us. It’s hard to find good Muslim candidates to stand on a BNP platform!
At the end of the day, though, it really is up to people to get out and vote. Native Britons are still the majority in the UK, but our voice will not be heard if we all stay in to watch EastEnders instead of going out and casting our ballot.
Difficult territory for the BNP to challenge this time. Cranbrook Ward, Redbridge, where all the main contestants seemed to be Muslim Asians, looks like a real hive of opportunity if you’re not a WASP. The Council has a whole range of departments from “Benefits - if English is not your first language”, “Disabled Muslim Women’s Association”, “East London African Caribbean Counselling Service”, “Positive East African Services” (for sufferers from HIV), “Groupe Franco Africain”, “Refugee Arrivals Project” with offices based at Heathrow Airport and “The City Bridge Trust” which provides grants for such Common Purpose-sounding groups as “Leadership and Reconciliation Initiative” to remove all opprobrium attached to Muslims after the London bombings.
The Vote UK Discussion Forum described Cranbrook as “plurality Asian and has a large Jewish population. This ward was the BNP’s second weakest ward in the whole of East London in May 2008 - only Spitalfields and Banglatown was worse. Can only think they stood here as a training exercise for new activists”.
Dalton Ward had a low turnout of 27%. The BNP came fourth, beating the Greens. Unemployment and benefit claims here are almost two-thirds as high again as the national average so presumably well enriched.
Wigan West was even more difficult to find out about. The turnout was even lower at 21% and the BNP beat UKIP into fourth place. I did discover from the local rag that the weaponry favoured around the area includes guns, knives, screwdrivers, fire extinguishers, breadknives, hammers and machetes. Choice!
http://wiganbnp.blogspot.com/2008/07/by-election-july-10th-2008.html
is a blog from Wigan - emphasising the dismally low 21.5% voter turnout there.
“As a group, we are going to have to discuss this. After the count I talked with representatives of the Cap, UKIP, and Lib/Dem parties. We reached a tentative conclusion about the next step we must take, but this public place is not where we should talk about that. We are all agreed - and that includes the Conservatives - that the key task is to break the stranglehold that the Labour party seems to have on the minds of the people of Wigan.
“Turnout: this is crucial. Four out of every five potential voters in this ward didn’t bother voting. I suspect it wouldn’t have been much different in any other ward. I believe this low turnout is a part of that Labour stranglehold on the minds of the people of Wigan that I mentioned earlier.”
Interesting comment.
In the last month I spoke to two Muslims, both from Bangladesh bearing strong Indian accents, although one said he was born here which I strongly doubted in view of his pronounced Indian accent.
Anyway, on both occasions we got talking about religion and I told them I was a fundamentalist Christian of Catholic background - a bit of an exaggeration, I admit, but for the benefit of the discussion, it served the purpose.
One argued that Jesus was a prophet and I exploded in anger. He recoiled when I said, only in the eyes of Muslims whose followers were guilty of putting this lie about in the first place. I told him to stop saying that or I would start telling him a few home truths about Islam and that Muslims must convert to Christianity if they wish to be saved, and that Al Takiyya has been well and truly exposed all over the Western world.
He complied with my request and the conversation went from religion to Marxism, Political Correctness, Freemasonry, Zionism and Common Purpose. I had to enlighten him on the latter and advised him to type the term into his browser when he got home. I also told him that Marxists were beavering away behind the scenes in attempts to subvert AND pervert Muslims in their native homelands as well, and that this is where the Muslims should be at right now fighting this filth not invading non-Muslim lands and declaring war on Christians in their own homelands, pointing out that this would not be tolerated by Muslims were the circumstances reversed.
In fact, I told them that Jews believe that Saudi Arabia is Jewish territory and some among them are campaigning at various levels to recover it, which is understandable. The other man told me that Muslim watchers had their eyes on the Marxists and their ilk AND intended dealing with them at the appropriate time. I then suggested to them that maybe this is the very cause which would benefit from firm alignment of the two leading religious belief systems.
Both of them shook my hand firmly and unanimously agreed.
Thanks for the info on the council elections Ed. It’s incredible how the Labour vote holds up, when every day thing are deteriorating for the man in the street. How much punishment can these people take?
@ Erinmore: Very interesting. Perhaps that’s why MPs are now demanding personal bodyguards–the hostility from all sides is palpable. I see you returned a bit of Taqqiyah with interest–naughty but nice one.
Looking at the Wigan blog again, it’s clear only 8% of the electorate voted Labour (38.3% of 21.5%). ‘Sir Henry Morgan’ says:-
How do we increase turnout? We are going to have to discuss this. And that means that whether we like it or not all the non-Labour parties are going to have to discuss this together…
I did notice at the count - and I’ve noticed it at other counts too - all we non-Labour party people get on well with each other, but mostly, the Labour people seem hostile to everyone else - almost as if they see themselves as being at war against the British …
-
The treasonous, ruling gang known as “Labour” are at war against the British, but the fact remains that Labour, Conservative, Liberals, EUKIP, “Green” and the rest are all the same, with different names, all following the same agenda. Which is to conspire in and deny the reality of what is being done to this country and tell lies, assisted by their media cronies, about the only party telling the truth and willing to do something about it - Ed
Blimey, are people still voting for this bunch of Traitors?
What more do they have to suffer before they wake up?
I just can’t understand their thinking. There we are offering them their country back, and they vote for those who would keep them in chains. Please, people, get wise and vote for the only Party sticking up for you. The BNP are the only Party that will save us, and this island of ours from being swamped. Think about it.
I think that although these particular results are disappointing, in recent times we have had much to smile about. What is obvious to me is that the struggle ahead is a long one and will take time. Like it or not, the chances are that we have to face about 5 years of Tory rule before we can make that massive impact that we crave for. Let us not get disheartened and keep that chin up. I am sure, that we will have many victories along the way, big and small. BNP, ALWAYS AND FOREVER, COME ON!!
The additional 9million or so suffering motorists I think are to be Gordon Brown’s death warrant of power.
Problem is the tories will be favourite to be next in power - it’s inevitable, but here is 1 of those words that may make those potential tory voters think otherwise… Thatcherism
