BNP Challengers Fail To Overthrow Griffin
12 Aug 2010
Three British Party [BNP] leadership contenders have failed to win enough support from party members to force a ballot to overthrow Nick Griffin. Derek Adams received four votes, London Assembly member Richard Barnbrook received 23 and ex-national elections officer Eddy Butler got 214. A candidate required 814 votes to force a leadership challenge. Mr Griffin received 995 nominations and will remain in power.
The Deputy Leader of the British National Party has resigned with immediate effect. Simon Darby fought the Stoke-on-Trent Central seat for the far right party at the recent General Election.
BNP Leader Nick Griffin has announced that he is to step down by 2013. His decision comes following a weekend long meeting of the party's Advisory Council. The meeting focused on the BNP's performance in the recent General and Local elections. The current membership and the modernisation of the party were also on the agenda. Griffin had come under fire from certain sections of the BNP membership following their failure to get an candidate elected to parliament.
As the dust settles on both the General and Local Elections, the various parties will start analysing their performances and making the changes they need as a result. Questions are being asked of the party leaders, particularly those who failed to deliver. Gordon Brown is facing calls from a few of his MPs to step down and the same can be said of the British National Party Leader Nick Griffin.
As a Mixed Race man who considers himself British and indeed English, you may be surprised by what I’m going to say next. I think the BNP have some good policies. I UNDERSTAND what they mean about preserving the white race, I personally don't want to see any group of people disappear.
The Chairman of the British National Party Nick Griffin chose to launch his party's manifesto in the city he describes as the BNP 'Jewel In The Crown' - Stoke-on-Trent. He described the manifesto as the most comprehensive his party have ever produced and that it proves that there is more to the BNP than immigration.
Is The Willfield Centre Really Safe?
22 Feb 2010
A story on the British National Party website confidently claims: 'After 4 months of lobbying, badgering and protesting, the British National Party Group on Stoke on Trent City Council have been successful in getting the popular Willfield Fitness Centre in Bentilee removed from the council’s cut back list as indicated in the 2010-2011 budget'. In the article, Stoke BNP Group Leader Mike Coleman says:
Well, It's official, the BNP are prepared to let me join their party. I must rush out and get signed up...NOT! The wholeidea of forcing the BNP to accept ethnic minorities into it's ranks is just a legal technicality designed to make humiliate the BNP. For years they have had an openly racist policy regarding membership and this whole threat of injunction is jut a slap in their face.
The only time I came across the leader of the BNP was following the 2006 City Council Elections when I was helping out Jean Bowers in Birches Head. I went to the Wheatsheaf Pub in Stoke afterwards before the count with my brother. The pub was full of BNP supporters who were expecting big gains in the elections- they were to be disappointed. Sitting at a table enjoying a meal was the leader of the BNP surrounded by muscular, shaven headed men in suits. Griffin was eating a curry.
Members of Staffordshire University Students Union staged a hastily arranged demo outside the venue of the BNP 2010 Election Campaign Launch press conference, in Stoke-on-Trent today. The demonstration was led by Union President Assed Baig, who caused controversy by publishing the names and addresses of BNP members on the Union website.
