Barpool by election candidates announced

The candidates for the Barpool by election have now been announced. In their number is one Alwyn Deacon, he of the nazi salutes outside his (former) pub when he was landlord. Deacon has already been rejected by the residents of Nuneaton on four occasions, lets make sure it is not fifth time lucky for Cantwyn!

EDL violence on Nuneaton streets

I just wonder what her problem is?

I am recovering from seeing the EDL attempt to spread their racist violence and bigotry in Nuneaton. I stood as a steward to the counter demonstration and witnessed the mindless violence of - frankly - grown men who should know better. They visit our town, get drunk, march shouting obscenities, and generally insult anyone who stands up against them.
They will deny this. But I can only report what I saw with my own eyes.
I saw fireworks thrown at the NAFA demonstration.
I saw beer cans thrown by the EDL.
I saw bottles and bricks thrown by the EDL.
I saw fireworks thrown by the EDL, one of which landed within six feet of me.
I saw thunderflashes thrown at police horses.
I saw the EDL fighting with the police.
I saw the EDL intimidating peaceful protesters.
I saw all this with my own eyes. So I am incredulous that the EDL Blog tells outright lies about the events in Nuneaton. But I'm not surprised because I expect lies and hatred from the EDL.

I thought that the organisers of the anti EDL protest did a fantastic job in involving the local community. The vast majority of those present were from Nuneaton - more than can be said about the EDL who traveled from all over the country to spread their racist filth.
I hope we never see the EDL in Nuneaton again but they seem to be targeting our town for special treatment.

I also hope we never again have to see police from at least five forces on our streets at huge expense to the public purse.

BNP dump leaflets in Nuneaton

Following hot on the heels of election disaster, the BNP had to find a way of disposing of all their unused election propoganda.
So what did they do with all those leaflets they couldn't deliver? Well, it seems one tactic is to throw them on verges - maybe this is their attempt at recycling although I would call it littering.

These leaflets are pictured dumped near to the BNP offices in Nuneaton so you would think they are for the failed local candidate. Not a  bit of it. These are for their candidate for Torfaen, in Wales, and I can only wonder how they made there way to our part of the world.

BNP seen off - EVERYWHERE!!!!

The BNP had a torid night on 6th May at the general election. The target seats they identified turned out to be a bridge too far as they fell well short of any serious challenge to enter Parliament. Nick Griffin was humiliated in Barking and Simon Darby could only manage 2,500 votes in Stoke on Trent Central. In effect, they came nowhere right across the country as voters chose the mainstream parties ahead of the BNP.

In the local elections they fared just as badly, losing 27 seats across the country. They lost all twelve seats on Barking and Dagenham council, two in Stoke on Trent and one in Solihull. In Nuneaton all twelve BNP candidates fell short of what they needed to get elected.

They also lost their seats in Redditch and Sandwell.

Thanks to all those anti fascists who put themselves out to come and help distribute thousands of newspapers in Kingswood, Barpool and Abbey wards - a truly fantastic effort!!

BNP Candidates in the Midlands

So far there appear to be 73 BNP candidates standing across the east and west midlands. Anti facist campaigners are pulling out all the stops to distribute Hope not hate leaflets and newspapers, including 15,000 which we are distributing in Nuneaton.
