Three Elections This Thursday


THREE out of the four local council by-elections taking place on Thursday give the electorate the chance to vote for a British National Party candidate.

In Worcestershire, following the death of Labour councillor Betty Passingham who held a seat on both the county council and Redditch Borough Council, there are two contests in Arrow Valley East Ward for the former and Batchley ward for the latter.

Maurice Field is our candidate in both elections, but it is in Batchley ward on which our attention is focussed the most as two years ago the BNP polled a creditable 424 votes there, which was 20% of the votes cast.

We didn’t contest the ward in May, so it will be a test of our voter loyalty to see if that level of support holds up after 24 months.

Arrow Valley East is a huge county council ward consisting of the Church Hill, Matchborough and Winyates wards of the borough council. It is the inclusion of the last ward which makes it quite an interesting contest for us as this is the BNP’s best ward in Redditch. In May this year we polled 549 votes which was 22% of the total vote.

BNP Deputy Chairman Simon Darby, has been out canvassing in the ward, and in between the downpours reported that there was a favourable reception on the doorstep.

Here are the details of these two elections.
Redditch Council
Batchley Ward
Greg Chance (Lab)
Maurice Field (BNP)
Brenda Quinney (Con)
Russell Taylor (Lib-Dem)
May 2008: Con 968, Lab 709, Lib-Dem 205.
May 2007: Labour 837, Con 639, BNP 424, Lib-Dem, 175 Ind 34.

Worcestershire CC, Arrow Valley East
Juliet Brunner (Con)
Maurice Field (BNP)
Debbie Taylor (Lab)
Diane Thomas (Lib-Dem)
May 2005: Lab 4584, 4458. Con 3185, 2679. Lib-Dem 2103, 1853.

The other election is in the London Borough of Hillingdon where our new BNP group is contesting its first election. Townfield ward is a Labour seat and when it was contested the last time, back in May 2006, Labour had a big majority.

This lead has dwindled over the past two years and taking the results from the London Assembly election and breaking them down into ward returns we can see that in Townfield Ward, Labour’s lead has been whittled down from 700 to 400 by the Tories. The BNP’s vote in the ward from the GLA election was an encouraging 221 and that level of support was enough to push the Lib-Dems back into fourth place.

It is hoped that our candidate Denis MacDonald and his small campaign team can encourage those BNP voters of two months ago to turn out again and cast their votes for the British National Party.
Here are the candidates.

Hillingdon Council
Townfield Ward
Roy Chamdal (Lib-Dem)
Catriona Corfield (Green)
Andrew Cripps (NF)
Tony Eginton (Lab)
Denis MacDonald (BNP)
Kashmir Pahal (Con)
May 2008: Lab 1042, Con 663, BNP 221. Lib-Dem 124.
May 2006: Lab 1503, 1379, 1358. Con 743,657,637. Lib-Dem 352,334,323.

  1. Good luck to the BNP on Thursday!

  2. We polled very badly last week.
    Do you think that there was any particular reason for this or just voter apathy.

    I feel that you should show the results on the website whether good or bad.We don’t want to be classed the same as the other parties who only promote good news. We need to put distance between ourselves and the spin of the LibLabCon.

  3. Well done to Ken Griffiths and Kevin Inman from the Black Country branch. They gave their Sunday up for leafleting. Inter-branch working relationships and support is getting better, and so good luck to both candidates on Thursday. With so many seats being fought, the end is nigh for the bunch of traitors running this nation into the ground.

  4. The best of (indigenous) British luck to all the candidates.
    The BNP is the only answer to the treachery in our midst!

  5. Maurice Field gets my vote in Redditch.

    UAF were out and about in the area yesterday, peddling their lies about the BNP.

    Is this what trade union members pay their subs for? So that a bunch of hypocrite Marxists can spread untruths about Labours opponents?

    If anyone in Redditch has doubts about where to place their vote, take a look at your new Mosque, look at the anti-Bitish racist graffitti on the Abbey ruins, note the increase in drugs and anti-social behaviour around town,look at the acres of green belt and playing fields given over to housing, note the planned closure of units at the local hospital.

    Redditch is Jaqui Smiths constituency, if Labour can’t get it right here, where can they get it right?

  8. I agree with esselliott good or bad the results of the poll should be shown, as he said we dont want to be tarred with the same brush as the opposition.

  9. Best wishes and good luck to all and thank you for standing up for Britain and its people. Bless each and every one of you.

  10. Best wishes to these candidates. Here’s hoping for a strong turnout to return BNP councillors.

  11. Now, can we hear from someone who supports the “Deeply in Debt Party”?! The BNP have a good chance of improving their percentage of the vote, hopefully enough for a victory. All the best of “Indigenous British Luck”.

  12. Good luck to all the BNP candidates. Time is on our side. People are recognising that the BNP is not all hype like the other parties. They are recognising that the BNP is the only TRUE nationalist party. Carry the Union flag with pride, my fellow citizens.

  13. Ask people if they are happy with what they have today: Tax, Tax, TAX; theft, theft, theft; murder, murder, murder. Do they want a real change? If so, VOTE BNP–join the resistance.

  14. I wonder how many people who complain bitterly about the disastrous effect that mass immigration has had on this country will go out and vote for the Lib/Lab/Con alliance on Thursday? I wonder how many people who are scared to walk the streets of our major cities at night will vote for the Lib/Lab/Con alliance? I wonder how many people who despair at our troops being killed in Iraq and Afghanistan will vote for the Lib/Lab/Con alliance?

    I could go on but the staggering fact is that many people who fall into the above categories will vote for the LLC alliance on Thursday. How much more do these people have to experience before the scales fall from their eyes? There is only one party that is part of the solution and not part of the problem. Good luck to the BNP on Thursday.

  15. The very best of luck to all our candidates on thursday. I believe, although I could be in a minority here, that come the next general election the BNP will have its first ever MPs. Then we will see a real change in the way things are done in this battered country of ours. My thoughts are with you all.

  16. Yes, please make a point of publishing the results. We need to know what’s going on. It’s not our fault if we don’t receive the votes we deserve - people certainly work hard enough to get them … you can lead these donkeys and mules to water, but you can’t make them drink, even though I’d dearly love to dunk the stupid twits who can’t see which side their bread is buttered. Also, there seem to be none so blind as those who will not see the polling chicanery that goes on and do something about it, apart from polluting the jury pool of the Electoral Commission with their own political appointees.

    The link below is an advertisement for a new Electoral Commission Chairman. The interesting part is the section entitled Job Description which includes “leading the change management process within the college of Commissioners itself, including the prospective introduction of additional members with a political background”. Sounds suspiciously Common Purpose to me. Obviously, the job was (sorry folks, deadline was back in April) open to anyone with a work permit and the usual equality and diversity background. Not a bad sinecure at 150,000 pounds a year, just to stop the BNP from getting in! Anyone know who the lucky contestant was?

  18. What wonderful news to see so many candidates standing for us Nationalists the length and breath of our country - I never thought I would live to see this day.

  19. My best wishes to all the valiant, patriotic, BNP candidates and support staff. Your sterling efforts are a constant reminder that someone has to put their head above the parapet if we are to destroy this evil dictatorship. May all our prayers be answered.

  21. My Vote is going on Maurice Field, and yes, I voted BNP last time.
    I am born and bred Batchley and proud of it. I was recently made redundant from Redditch Borough Council (lab) simply because I stood up for what I believe in and said what I think. Although there are some good people working there, in general they don’t give a damn about the people of Redditch.
    The best job I did while I was there was designing the ‘refurb’ at the Plymouth R.d War Memorial, only to see the council do nothing to stop it being trashed by yobs.
    We need as many Councilors from BNP in Redditch as possible to sort this mess out and to give us what we want, to let our children play out and be safe, to let us have a chance at getting work, to have our bins collected every week (the money saved is wasted on silly promotions) to have local shops, to have proper housing repairs, to have better landscape maintance and litter picking etc.
    Time for a change!
    Good luck Maurice!

  22. GOOD LUCK to all on Thursday - may God be at your side.

  23. It’s a very long and uphill battle that the BNP faces. A nation blinded by media lies and misinformation needs to be convinced that this party is not the hardline uneducated rabble that it’s portrayed as. Good luck to all candidates involved!
    Britain will be GREAT again.

  24. There’s no doubt in my mind that if the BNP were granted an equal platform with the other parties (when was the last time you saw a BNP member on the Question Time panel or on the Andrew Marr show on a Sunday morning!) then there would be an avalanche of support for them. It suits the politically-correct BBC and media in this country to continue to portray the BNP as a bunch of knuckle-dragging skinheads rather than addressing the real agenda that the party is putting forward, and which is finding increasing support (albeit slowly) among the British people.

    A further problem for the BNP is the fact that representatives of the Lab/Lib/Con gang refuse to share a platform with the BNP (witness the childish walkout by this lot when Richard Barnbrook started to speak after the result of the recent London elections) which further serves to stifle the real debate which is going on in this country at grassroots level, but which is not allowed to be spoken within earshot of the political elite.
