I lived in Basildon for the first 18 years of my life. It looks like the place has taken a turn for the worse since then, judging by this website (as found by Mike Ion). I’ve got issues with some of our local Tories, but almost without exception they are better than this one.

BNP Rattled?
April 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Politics
This evening somebody told me that, following the UAF’s visits to Bewbush, Ifield, West Green and Ifield West over the weekend to try and increase voter turnout at the elections, the BNP held a little protest at the Ifield shops.
The Jewish BNP vote
April 13th, 2008 · 38 Comments · Politics
When I saw this story in the paper the other day I really had to check it was April 10th and not April 1st, although anybody who tried to make it up as an April fool’s joke would have a pretty warped sense of humour. Apparently the BNP are now actively chasing the Jewish vote […]
Griffin and Irving in Oxford
November 28th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Politics
I suspect I am out of line with most of the UAF, and with Antonia, but I am not in favour of the attempts to prevent David Irving and Nick Griffin speak at the Oxford Union. It would have been far better if the idiots there had not invited them along in the first place, […]

Yesterday’s session in Horsham contained some highs and lows. We were in the town centre trying to raise awareness of the BNP activities there and of the existence now of a local UAF branch.

AGM tactical blunder
April 26th, 2007 · Comments Off on AGM tactical blunder · Politics
This evening I forgot one of the fundamental golden rules of attending AGMs – I got carried away and volunteered for something and now find myself on the committee of the Crawley Campaign Agaist Racism. The CCAR is a venerable organisation, now in its 31st year. Many of the firebrands who started it up are […]

A Crawley and Horsham UAF got a little bit closer to being established tonight at a meeting we had. As there is currently no proper organisation, everything is a bit chaotic so the main topic was how to use what resources we have to counter the BNP candidate sin 4 wards in Crawley and 2 […]

BNP in Crawley
April 9th, 2007 · 6 Comments · Politics
This year the fascist party is standing in 4 wards in Crawley (Southgate, Ifield, Furnace Green, and Tilgate) and 2 wards in Horsham (Denne, Roffey North). The same person is standing in both Denne and Tilgate. The BNP have not stood in Tilgate before, as far as I know. There are also a couple of […]
Solidarity?
February 22nd, 2007 · 4 Comments · Politics
I wanted to write something about this new BNP trade union, Solidarity – having seen it mentioned by Tom Watson, Mike Ion and others, but i was just too slow. It turns out that johninnit has said just about everything I could want to say about it already. He points out that anyone joining Solidarity […]

The official BNP line on Big Brother
January 21st, 2007 · 5 Comments · Politics
I have not watched Celebrity Big Brother, apart from a bit of the first one to make sure Teddy Sheringham wasn’t on it, but there is so much written about it that I sometimes feel as if I have seen it. Doing a search on Big Brother stories on the Guardian web site, sorted in […]
