Speech by party chairman Nick Griffin in Dagenham. Nick's London tour was designed to both mark the start of the campaign for the London elections next May and also to begin the necessary fundraising
Thanks to Michelle for filming. I thought I was gonna do a strike! Unfortunately, I didn't even get a spare! The ball was too heavy though (yeah, I'm blaming the ball, haha). I'm a bad bowler.
BNP paper sale on Dagenham Heathway, in the constituency of BNP mayoral candidate Richard Barnbrook. Friendly, intelligent, good-looking (but understandably embarassed) mixed-race guy deals tactfully with his girlfriend's dad being a bigoted nerk. Like many areas of relative BNP support, Dagenham's problems have far more to do with poverty - the redundancies at Ford in 2002, than they have to do with anything the BNP can try to blame immigrants for. Even then, it's important to remember that despite BNP supporters best attempts to package their performace at the 2008 GLA elections as a success, 30,000 more people went to the anti-BNP festival in Victoria Park in East London than voted for the failed BNP Mayoral candidate Richard Barnbrook, that the BNP got beaten by the Green Party, and that the BNP polled HALF as many GLA seats as even their opponents thought they'd get.
As revealed in the Barking and Dagenham Post (27/5/08), Richard Barnbrook sidekick Jamie Jarvis, the BNP member for Village Ward, showed up for a pathetic 7 of the 27 council meetings he is paid nearly £10,000 of your money to attend. BNP members Darren Tuffs and Ronald Doncaster from Parsloes Ward and BNP member Tracey Lansdown from Goresbrook Ward bothered to show up at only 6 meetings each last year, while BNP member Sandra Doncaster of Valence Ward dragged herself along to a paltry 8 meetings, trousering well over £1,000 per session!
BNP councillor Richard Barnbrook was elected on a pledge of making more affordable homes available for local people, but as revealed in the Barking and Dagenham Recorder (22/5/08) Richard Barnbrook voted AGAINST a planned development at Lymington Fields which was set to create a new school and 600 new homes, 180 of which are ear-marked for key workers like nurses, teachers and firemen. Richard Barnbrook also voted AGAINST a development at Barking Riverside, where 4,300 affordable homes are planned. The reason being that Richard Barnbrook and the BNP don't want anything to get better, because the BNP are a party that thrives by creating crises and by making problems worse, not by solving them.
BNP Dagenham - 3 stops beyond Barking!
The breaking news is that Richard Barnbrook's BNP just polled an awesomely inept 29 votes in the recent by election in the London Borough of Camden!

It's 2007, it's October and the cold is here.. can only mean the Metropolitan Police Cadet annual 'Iron Man' competition. Here are the highlights of our weekend (Barking & Dagenham unit).
Some wonderful and amazing skills shown at half time during MK Dons v Dagenham match 15/03/08. This guy certainly impresses the crowd and is a major distraction from the other entertainment - Live singing.
