One organisation guaranteed to be hoping for a white Christmas are the BNP, who are apparently holding a Christmas party for their members in Sussex/Surrey in Crawley on Saturday.  It’s a secret so not only do normal people not know where it is being held, except that it is within a mile of J10 of the M23 but there is a fair chance that the venue doesn’t know either.
The BNP have a habit of booking their functions under false names like “British Heritage”.  The Morning Advertiser, the pub trade’s newspaper, is advising publicans and hoteliers to double-check bookings they have on Saturday 13th because experience has shown that hosting a BNP party can be bad for business. Wherever the pub or hotel is, it is virtually guaranteed some money-can’t-buy publicity next week, but will it be for accepting a BNP booking or for cancelling one?
If they are a “legitimate” party with nothing or no one to hide why do they need to be so underhand!!!
Perhaps the Xmas Party was already booked at an Ifield (Members Only) Public House, but the landlord cancelled a few weeks ago…
