Kirklees the lost jewel

Kirklees BNP Organiser Rachel Firth blamed the dissident Eddy Butler’s influence on her party colleagues for her failure to find any candidates to stand in North Kirklees.

Kirklees, once described as the BNP’s jewel in the crown, has in the past fielded a full slate of 23 candidates. However it was announced today that the BNP will only be standing four candidates there.

Traditionally the BNP have always been far stronger in North Kirklees than in the more rural South. At its peak North Kirklees was a branch in its own right and had three BNP councillors.

Yet when nominations closed today it was revealed there wasn’t a single BNP candidate in North Kirklees, which is rather strange as a Kirklees resident can stand for election anywhere in the district.

When questioned by disconsolate BNP members on the Kirklees BNP Facebook page, Firth replied: “North Kirklees appears to have fallen under the spell of Edward Butler”.

PS. I am also pleased to announce that no nazis have crawled out of the wood in Crawley, Sussex.

the publics perceptions with groups/klans such as bnp/edl are they are fully deemed far right due to the connections with other well known neo racist groups who have been fully exposed through facebook,twitter,youtube etc.admittedly we will always have bigots but they will not be allowed a political agenda similar to other euro countries.WE MUST DRIVE HOME THE FACT THAT THESE GROUPS ARE NOT POLITICAL BUT RACISTS.well done crew
