Win, win, win

Just heard some fantastic news. Yesterday there were three council by-elections and I'm delighted to say that the BNP performed poorly in all. In Broxtowe the BNP candidate polled just 3% of the vote. In Billericay, the BNP polled a mere 95 votes and came third.

Most encouragingly, in South Oxhey, the BNP also came third, 300 votes behind Labour. This is brilliant because the last time the ward was contested the BNP was just 12 votes behind. The BNP got 170 votes this time, with Labour winning with 487.

A big thank you must go to Sam and our HOPE not hate volunteers who campaigned hard in both South Oxhey and Billericay.

There's more good news on our fundraising appeal. Last night we launched a drive to raise £5,000 to help us fund 150,000 leaflets to tell Londoners the truth about the BNP lies. So far 285 people have donated £3,770. So another big thank you to all those people.
