I am confident that Eddy Butler will have assessed our chances here thoroughly.

Obviously the Tories will win it, but the opportunity for the party to pick up disillisusioned voters of the old gang parties is far better than Crewe. UKIP will be confident that it can outpoll us here, but we'll have to wait and see.

I wonder if "Twizzel" will vote for us?:-)

Eddie taking time off from attending BPP functions is he?

The proximity to May's elections is irrelevant because it would have weighed equally on all parties. Not to mention that the Northern units of the BNP, if they indeed still exist as campaign ready units, had not taken part in any significant way in the GLA election.

I have never heard of or seen a credible report of Griffin campaigning yet. My guess, based on my year as an activist, is that he delivers one speech per unit per year, at an optimistic estimate that means one days "work", if you call delivering the same speech in a couple of hours and the drive there and back work, a week. Plus a 3000 word essay every few weeks. Essentially he has the same work load as a first year sociology student.

And why won't Henley be "such a squeeze"? The electors of Henley are the most Tory in the land and they certainly aren't going to miss the opportunity to laud Cameroon with a triumph given the opportunity. Unlike the Crewe electorate who were desperately searching for an alternative to a Tory protest vote. The Tories won the election almost 2:1 hardly a close run thing.

The BNP are going to get butchered in Henley, I really have no idea why Griffin has submitted himself to this bloodbath. There is nothing to gain and he has proven his excuses for Crewe to be lies. Just another example of his incompetence and the dismal view he has of his Party's critical faculties.

By the way do you actually believe the stuff you write, or are we just supposed to?

I love a bit of :-)-on-:-)!

Well shows how much you know, we usually have nick at BNP meetings about 3 times a year. Nick was down in London delivering leaflettes on numerous occasions, Nick is leading Northwest days of action, Nick has leafletted Liverpool in the past when it was much much more hostile than today.

You just sound like a crank pot with a grudge.

Stop evading his points on Henley and Crewe with your futile distractions :-)
