Ravenscliffe, Newcastle by-election result

Incapable of independent thought, some thick bricks continue to
vote for "the party my father voted for"

Well the results are in for the Ravenscliffe by-election held yesterday in Newcastle and I must admit to being a little bit depressed that we did not win. In reality it was a very good result and bodes well for the European Elections in June.

1. Con 229 25.39%
2. Lab 213 23.61%
3. BNP 180 19.96%
4. L Dem 149 16.52%
5. UKIP 131 14.52%

So from a standing start, Sarah Barnes, the BNP candidate done a fantastic piece of work with her team in winning almost 20% of the vote. Well done Sarah.

But what disappointed me about this election was the fact that many of the people of Ravenscliffe still continued to vote for "the party my father voted for".

The election was brought about as a result of the poor attendance of a conservative councillor quitting after it was revealed she had only attended two of her last 16 scheduled meetings.

As a result of this, the poor attendance of other conservative councillors was revealed showing just how poorly the people of Ravenscliffe are served and yet enough, thick blue bricks turned out to vote for yet another tory paper candidate.

The area is fortunate enough to have escaped "enrichment" so far but this will change but until then the solid and I mean solid conservative voters can continue to bury their heads in the sand.

A few things of interest from the comments of other candidates prior to the election:

Conservative candidate Stephen Blair said: "The Conservatives have a history in the Ravenscliffe area, while the BNP doesn't, so we don't feel threatened by them at all."

Labour candidate Gill Burnett was the borough councillor in Ravenscliffe before being ousted last May.

She said: I'm quite hopeful about my own chances.

"I don't think the BNP will make much of an impact. I think the people of Ravenscliffe are loyal to the candidates they know."

Well I doubt very much they feel so complacent this morning. The British National Party was just 50 votes away from Victory but it does show how "the party of my father" syndrome still prevents many people from seeing the truth in front of them. Dull, thick, stupid bricks.

Now a different story but I might as well tag it on here.

Hard working, British National Party Councillor, John Burgess, who does not skip council meetings or feather his own pocket at rate payers expense has been cleared of breaking election laws.

I was pleased to read that John and it is one in the eye for those mischief makers who have wasted more taxpayers money. Keep up the good work.

Upperby by-election Carlisle 12 June

I think I will wait for the 69

I have been neglecting some of my self imposed duties and for that I am sorry. There was a by-election yesterday in Upperby, Carlisle and the BNP had put forward two candidates.

The Cumbrian Patriots put up some of their election material that gave an indication of how professional their campaign was going to be and the least I could have done was linked to it.

The results were as follows:-

• Lab 595
• Lab 515
• LD 428
• Con 346
• BNP 321
• BNP 278
• Con 275

2758 Votes were cast 599 for the British National Party Candidates giving us 21.72%

The two British National Party candidates who turned in an excellent result are Brian Allan and Alistair Barbour. Well done guys we are proud of you and with results like that, it looks as though the foundations are well and truly laid to build a victory come the next election.

BNP takes 2nd place in Hinckley by-election

News just in has it that Mike Shore, BNP candidate in the Hinckley by-election, has come from nowhere to take second place with a stunning 18.8% of the poll. This is the first time that the BNP has ever contested an election in this part of Leicestershire and is particularly noteworthy as the ward is considered a Lib-Dem stronghold!

The full results are:

Hinckley & Bosworth District Council, Hinckley Castle Ward, 24th April 2008.

Lib-Dem 802 56.9%
BNP 264 18.8%
Con 226 16.1%
Lab 116 8.2%

Well done to Mike and his team in an amazing first outing!

Welham Green by-election - 3rd January

Well I do not know about your area but here in the Welsh Valleys it is icy cold and the roads look treacherous and so I pity anyone who has to go through the door today. Myself included. I have a long drive to pick up some kit that might improve my connection to the net.

So good luck to the British National Party and their activists in this by-election for Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council today. Wrap up warm troops and keep an eye out for the state paid activists of Searchlight who are supposed to be operating in the area.

This by-election was caused by the resignation of Conservative Councillor Peter O'Brian following his arrest over the possession of child pornography. Details here on Liars, Buggers and Thieves.

The full list of candidates and results were as follows:-

• Doug Berry - Con 539 40.68%
  
• John Elvy - Lib Dem 484 36.53%
  
• Mark Fuller - BNP 214 16.15%
  
• Bridie Croft - Lab 88 6.64%

Turnout a massive 46.6%. I was way off on expecting a low turnout but checking out the Lib Dem site for by-elections they were very well organised in getting activists within travelling distance in to help their local team and getting their voters to the booths. We can learn something here.

Con seat, 2006 result: Con 707, Lab 198, LD 156

Not a bad result. Well done to Mark and all his activists. Give our thanks to the people who voted for us next week Mark when you deliver your follow-up leaflets.

You can bet the Lib Dems are crying into their herbal tea right now though:)

St Marys, Castle Point by-election 20th December

Well the British National Party activists are in action at another by-election today. This time caused by the resignation of two Conservative Councillors for Benefit Fraud.


I seem to be updating the Liars, Buggers and Thieves blog almost daily. Labour is well out in front for fraud, especially electoral. But when it comes to Paedophilia then it is a toss up between the Conservatives and the Lib Dems. If you go visit the site click on the categories to sort the growing data we are gathering.

If any of the crimes committed by the people named were British National Party members it would be all over the National Press. The two BNP candidates are John Laurence Morgan and Peter John Barber. You can read the local policies they are putting forward here but I quite like the last one on their list of 5 issues.

Council Tax has increased by 128% in the last 10 years against a 30% rise in inflation! The primary cause is the Labour Government's re-allocation of central grants, from the South to the North to bribe its supporters. The Local Government Association has announced that Council Tax will need to rise by 6% due to Labour's failure to control immigration. The LGA warns that this crisis has created severe problems which will lead to council tax rises, local job losses and cuts in services.

Both the Tories and Lib Dems have assisted in the demographic changes being wrought in our ancestral homeland without any democratic consent or consultation . Since 2004, over 1.5million immigrants have arrived in the UK, placing unprecedented strains on our services and environment.

We pledge to restrict domestic and business Council Taxes to their current level. We would terminate the funding of projects or services that do not benefit the indigenous British people.

Councillors allowances should be closely scrutinised. We would explore ways to make councillors remuneration performance related.

The full list of candidates and the results are as follows:

• BNP Peter Barber 253
  
• Con Mark Howard 461
  
• BNP John Morgan 234
  
• Con Alf Partridge 509
  
• Lab Brian Wilson 480
  
• Lab Tony Wright 456
  

This was a paper campaign and so the combined percentage of the BNP vote was 20% which is an excellent indicator to future success.

Well done the British National Party.

Heighington and Washingborough by-election results

This is Our Target and we WILL get there

The British National Party were in by-election action again yesterday. This time in Robin Hood country and considering this is the first time they have put up a candidate there, they done very well.

It is a fact that British National Party activists are the most dedicated and hardworking activists of any party. And the reason for that is simple. They are patriots who care about their Country. Not just for themselves but for others not yet born. The children of the their children. Better one volunteer then ten pressed men in the shape of paid trade union activists and the rented rabble of the Urinate Against Freedom mob.

Despite all the negative propaganda put out by the Tri-Axis controlled press and interference from the usual red rabble, Michael Clayton and his troops handled themselves well and have surely made the rotating dictatorship parties start to think about their long term futures or lack of rather.

The result was as follows:-

1. Tories 877
2. Lab 206
3. Lib Dem 137
4. BNP 126
5. UKIP 52
6. Ind 21

1. Con 61.8% +14.5%
2. Lab 14.5% -26.9%
3. Lib Dem 9.7% +9.7%
4. BNP 8.9% +8.9%
5. UKIP 3.7% -7.6%
6. Ind 1.5% +1.5%

Turnout 26.2%

As usual Michael, please convey the thanks of the True Brits around Our Country to the people who campaigned for you and also the voters who took time out to go and vote BNP.

Sutton in Ashfield West ward by-election results

The Lib Dems really pulled out all the stops on this one and not to be out done Labour bussed in the paid activists from the Marxist trade unions and blanket leafleted the entire ward. I wonder how much that cost their membership?

Despite being massively out gunned the small but dedicated team of British National Party activists kept knocking at doors right up to the close of polls and brought home a good result.

With six candidates standing the results were always going to be interesting

• Lib Dems 873 - 37.02%
  
• Labour 560 - 23.75%
  
• BNP 321 - 13.61%
  
• Independent 275 - 11.65%
  
• Conservative 257 - 10.90
  
• Green 72 = 3.05%
  

Well done Michael Clarke and the BNP activists. Also a big thanks to the 321 people who saw through the lies and the mass of propaganda put out by the illusion of democracy parties and voted for the British National Party.

The opposition will say that this result shows that the BNP are nothing to fear but they wetting themselves. The percentage of the vote that the BNP are now regularly obtaining is enough to cause chaos in hung marginals come a general election.

And whilst it is true that the Lib/Lab/Con pact are all one and the same, each branch of it would much prefer to be the ones feeding of the taxpayers. Look for them to start doubling their efforts to discredit and defame the only hope Britain has left. The British National Party.

Slowly but surely the BNP advances and will not be stopped.

Heworth Without By-Election

Only the BNP can restore democracy to this room

A casual vacancy has occured in the Heworth Without Ward. The following persons have been nominated to stand in the election, which will take place on Thursday 6 September 2007:

* AYRE Nigel John, Liberal Democrat
* EVERETT Charles Dixon, Green Party
* KNIGHT, Michaela Susan, British National Party
* SINCLAIR, Adam Michael, The Conservative Party Candidate
* WELLS, Margaret, The Labour Party Candidate

The following press release was issued by Michaela. We wish her the best.

• "I was born and bred in York. I work full-time in the corporate sector and I am a mother of two young children.
• "It is a privilege to both represent the British National Party, and to stand as a candidate in Heworth Without.
• "If elected, there are many problems that I would work to solve.
• "I want to see a crackdown on local feral youths who make decent peoples' lives a misery.
• "I will fight the proposed Derwenthorpe development tooth and nail. This development will concrete over our green space and will only end up making traffic congestion worse and put more strain on local services.
• "The only reason we need so many more houses is because of uncontrolled immigration.
• "I want to also see a return to weekly rubbish collections. Why should council tax go up as services go down?
• "Additionally, parents should be able to view the Sex Offenders' Register."

If you are interested in what the other candidates have to say, then you can read their statements here. If you have the time, then register and leave a message of support for Michaela in the comments section.

One interesting thing here is the British National Party's candidate plan to bring back weekly rubbish collections. This I believe is a much better idea than the councils current policy of planting trees in Malawi instead of collecting rubbish.

If you live in Heworth Without, the choice is simple. Vote BNP to get your rubbish picked up weekly or vote for Rubbish to plant trees in Malawi. No doubt Heworth Councilors would welcome a taxpayer funded trip to plant them.

In full: Ealing Southall candidates

Johns membership of the Raving Loony Party prevented him from seeing what was happening around him.

Not much interest in this event it seems. Perhaps it is because it is not a British Election but more a get together from people from some of our old colonies.

Here is the list of candidates in the Ealing Southall by-election taking place on 19 July. Their names, and the description of who they are standing for are as described on the returning officer's official list of candidates:

# Nigel Bakhai, Liberal Democrats
# John Sydney Cartwright, The Official Monster Raving Loony Party
# Sati Chaggar, English Democrats - 'Putting England First!'
# Salvinder Singh Dhillon, Respect - Peace, Justice, Equality
# Sarah Janet Edwards, Green Party
# Kuldeep Singh Grewal, Independent
# Tony Lit, David Cameron's Conservatives
# Yakub Masih, Christian Party 'Proclaiming Christ's Lordship'
# Jasdev Singh Rai, Independent
# KT Rajan, UK Independence Party
# Virendra Kumar Sharma, The Labour Party Candidate
# Gulbash Singh, Independent

I do not imagine it will be too difficult to spot either Sarah Edwards or John Sydney Cartwright at the count. He should stand out like a sore thumb. The Official Monster Raving Loony party rosette is really quite distinctive and Sarah is a green woman...I think.
