Nick Griffin concedes defeat

The results have not been declared but I understand Nick Griffin has conceded defeat in Barking. Nationally, the BNP has performed badly, a mixture of being squeezed by the mainstream parties, a strong anti-BNP campaign and internal infighting within their own ranks.
Obviously there is still the local elections to count tomorrow but the omens do not look good for the BNP. I understand that the BNP is likely to lose all its councillors in Sandwell and Chris Beverley is likely to lose his seat in Morley South.

A wonderful campaign and an excellent result on keeping Nick Griffin out of UK politics. Let's hope it's replicated across the whole country when the final count is in.

Nick Well done for all your unstinting hard work in the campaign to stop the BNP .You are an inspiration to us all. My parents who fought the fascists in the East End in the 1930's would have been immensely proud of your work!
