This morning I was out with some UAF colleagues, handing out leaflets and talking to voters at local shopping parades in Crawley.  So far most of those involved are also involved in political parties which doesn’t really work, because any anti-BNP campaignign we do is time we could have spent campaigning for our own parties.  This morning a few non-aligned individuals turned up, which I think is a good sign.

Despite the appalling weather and conflicts with normal electioneering we had a good turnout and were able to talk to voters or deliver leaflets through doors in West Green, Ifield, Bewbush, Ifield West and Gossops Green.  We will be doing more there and also in Pound Hill South, Tilgate and the four wards in Reigate & Banstead where the BNP are standing.

The message was generally well-accepted and the response was positive.  One notable exception was an idiot in Ifield shouting something about how we need to reclaim our country and not be giving it away.  The integrity and consistency of his opinions was compromised slightly by him wearing a Chelsea shirt with ‘Vialli’ on the back.

Quite how successful Chelsea would be without their Russian owner, Israeli manager, his Portugese predecessor, and the African, Italian, German and Italian players I am not sure, but that’s another discussion all together.

Over the next few weeks  the Wealden UAF will be out and about again and if anyone is interested in coming along they should get in touch – details on the WUAF website.
