Hypocrisy Of Anti-BNP Campaigner

I was surprised recently to hear a certain local person using their prominant position in the community to join the UAF bandwagon and make anti-BNP statements. It seems that he's very happy with the idea of high levels of immigration, or more specifically with the idea of local people living in a multi-cultural area, unless of course the local people affected are him and his family.

It seems that this proponent of socialism lived next door to one of my constituents a few years ago. The constituent decided to move house and put the current house on the market. He was lucky in that he was soon able to show the house to a potential buyer from London who just happened to be an Afro-Caribbean gentleman.

Surely our ardent socialist would have welcomed the potential increase in cultural diversity in his small street? Well, actually, he went into overdrive, constantly asking the seller if the man was still intending to make the purchase, and both he and his wife made clear their intention to move rather than live next door to a black family!

In the end, the house was sold to a different buyer, and our ardent campaigner was left free to continue campaigning alongside his neo-communist friends, secure in the knowledge that they were completely unaware of the racist in their midst!

This episode also reminds me of the local Labour town councillor who, unaware of my political views, let the truth slip by revealing that he thought that only black, disabled lesbians had any chance of gaining employment at the then Labour controlled Derbyshire County Council!

It's amazing what all these socialists really think. Perhaps their vitriolic hatred of the BNP is some sort of a Freudian backlash against their own inner thoughts?

Labour Dirty Tricks Fail

It has always been the case that the Establishment parties, keen to safeguard their cosy positions, have worked with the media to stifle reporting of the British National Party. Of course, the internet has meant that we are able to bypass this censorship, and the public are now able to easily access information about the real policies of the party. In Amber Valley we also use the internet to let residents know what our councillors are doing and things that are happening at the Council that the other parties would rather keep them in the dark about.

Both Labour and the Tories are in turmoil over our avoidance of their stranglehold on the traditional media - so much so that Labour have taken to registering website names very similar to our own so that a small typing error will take you to a Labour website instead.

However, even this tactic seems to have backfired as a spoof Amber Valley Labour blog has viewing figures swamping the official website, according to respected web statistics site Alexa.

Meanwhile, this blog continues to hold it's number one position as most viewed local political website with around 600 clicks per day. The number two slot is held by the Amber Valley BNP blog and amazingly the number three position is held by the upcoming Amber Valley BNP website which is still under construction!

Other than the spoof Labour website, no other local political websites even have enough daily pageviews to even register a ranking on Alexa, whatever their easily-fiddled viewer counters say!

Amber Valley BNP Announces Prospective Parliamentary Candidate

I am very pleased to be able to announce that Amber Valley BNP have chosen Michael Clarke as our Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for this year's general election.

Amber Valley BNP has issued the following statement:

Local activist Michael Clarke has been selected as our Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the forthcoming General Election.

Michael is 53 years old, married to wife Jane for 30 years and has 3 children and one grandchild. He has spent most of his working life as a Furniture Designer and Upholsterer, winning nine national awards for his sofa designs.

Michael says “I am delighted to have been given this opportunity to promote our common sense policies. I will be campaigning on the nation changing issues that the other parties fear to address. Mass Immigration, the European Union and the loss of our Christian heritage will be my priorities, along with the illegal war in Afghanistan, a better deal for our pensioners and crime.

We are now the third party in Amber Valley, having beaten the Lib Dems in both the Euro and County elections in June, and we are closing fast on the Tories and Labour. To win the seat will be a monumental task but if we work hard and keep to our strategy I genuinely believe it is possible.

Our last two MPs have been outsiders who have put Amber Valley second to their own political careers. Being born and bred in the heart of the constituency, Amber Valley means more to me than just a meal ticket and I will be fighting for the good of the area to my utmost ability.”

Flag Of Convenience

There is today more proof of the lack of difference between the Establishment parties as it is confirmed that, this year, Alex Stevenson will be standing as a candidate for the Tories in the council elections in Heanor East. Alex is well known in the area as a Tory from his previous period of membership. Of course, he is also well known as a former UKIP candidate, and also as a former Veritas candidate. Not content with throwing his hand in with others, he has also gone it alone as an independent candidate! It seems that, this year, the dice has rolled and landed on 'Tory'...next year, who knows...!

More seriously, it shows the desperate depths that the Tories have had to trawl to find anyone who is prepared stand for them in the ward, and the current scarcity of quality candidates available to them. How many other parties would put their resources behind a political chameleon who will almost certainly be off to pastures new within months?

Update On Party Policies

At the recent British National Party conference, resolutions were passed to introduce some new policies, whilst some suggestions were also rejected.

A future British National Party government will now:

• Exempt our service personnel from personal taxation when on combat duties outside the British Isles for more than 30 days;
• Ban animal testing of cosmetics as soon as possible and fund research into alternatives to animal testing of pharmaceutical products;
• Protect native breeds of farmstock;
• Reduce the tax rate on alcohol served in pubs to create a more level playing field with supermarkets, in order to help preserve British pubs which are closing at an alarming rate. We would also remove the ban on smoking in pubs, allowing individual landlords to choose;
• Remove exemptions from British Law on religious grounds, and
  
• Not become involved in any war against Iran. The party already opposes, as it has always done, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, though we fully support our service personnel there and wish them a safe and speedy return home.

Motions rejected as not being in line with the general opinion of party members included:

• A ban on babies born in Britain to illegal immigrants being granted British citizenship, and
  
• A strictly enforced return to the previous Sunday trading laws, meaning most shops would not open on Sundays.

Severe Weather Update

As conditions have improved today, the refuse and recycling services have been resumed, though they are operating a day behind schedule, with collections planned on Saturday too, subject to the weather.

The car parks on Heanor and Ripley market places remain closed, though if conditions permit, markets may still be held.

Severe Weather - Refuse Collections And Car Parks

Due to the widespread ice, refuse and recycling collections have been suspended for today. Additionally, the car parks at Heanor and Ripley market places have been closed for the same reason.
