Lincolnshire Voice

Treason - that was the word on the agenda at the latest North Kesteven Group meeting said Cllr Mike Clayton, the local group Organiser. After opening the meeting and the usual introductions to around 30 guests, Mike first spoke about the run up to the general election. There were a series of newspaper articles shown to the audience showing the biased nature of the media and how they portrayed the party and the brave candidates who stood up. After initial reporting, he said things improved and at times treated us fairly so the publicity was quite good locally with various newspapers wanting to speak to us about our policies. Unfortunately there were also the usual letters from the Unions, church representatives and the Lincoln (former) MP Gilian Merron (lab) who continually attacked us, prompting a reply from Mike regarding her expenses claiming for her second home, whilst some pensioners were denied their pension, ignored and forgotten about (thats because the old folk can remember the way it was, Ed).

Mike spoke about being the only candidate out of 6 who wasn't asked to take part in a Hustings debate at a church in Sleaford, which he only discovered by seeing the article on the Sleaford Standard website on the evening prior to polling day. There was also another one he later heard about at Branston "Community College" that he wasnt invited to. Not to be outdone it was mentioned that Rev West was denied the chance to speak in Lincoln at one Hustings debate and Julia Green was denied a platform in Louth & Horncastle constituency.

Rev West told the audience (to much laughter!) that he was invited to a Church husting and then the invite was withdrawn on the grounds "...not that they were against free speech but just that they disagreed with what I said..." Commenting after the meeting Rev said "Well there we are: what hope for the education system and its A* levels."

There was some positive news that Malcolm Porter did get invited to speak in Market Rasen for the Gainsborough Constituency and performed well, having an anti-eu and Afghanistan stance. It was all very grown up and no problems at all - how a democracy is supposed to work!

Geoff Dickens then spoke at length about the Party nationally and mentioned that there were some financial issues, which will hopefully be resolved and he is now one of three people on the new scrutiny committee. He invited questions from the audience, which were answered honestly. After several complaints about the Central Office appeal letters, there was a show of hands and 95% of the audience agreed they wanted no more. Both Geoff and Mike said that anyone not wanting them should write a letter to Central Office and/or press the unsubscribe button to their emails. This will save the party funds and will stop people getting annoyed.

After a very brief break, we had our guest speaker for the night, Mr Albert Burgess, a retired policeman who gave us an English history lesson going from Alfred the Great up to the present era. He explained the lies being spread about the Law and showed us that Treason and Sedition had been committed to subvert our English Constitution in 1972 under the Heath regime. He showed beyond doubt that the EU was an illegal entity and should be struck out accordingly. You can see a video of him above which was recorded at another meeting.

All in all a somewhat rushed but very interesting meeting.

East Lindsey BNP candidate, Jez Boothman

On Thursday 17th June, Lincolnshire British National Party were contesting a by-election in Louth for the North Holme ward of East Lindsey District Council. The result is below:

Philip Sturman, Labour 142
Fran Treanor, Conservative 111
Jez Boothman, British National Party 102 (19.8%)
Mary Finch, Liberal Democrat 88
Susan Locking, Independent 72
Turnout 28%

With the Liberal Democrats smearing (load of rubbish) the party in one of their leaflets and the other parties conducting good campaigns it was always going to be difficult to win, but we came a very solid third, just 9 behind the Conservatives and 40 behind Labour. It was pleasing to beat the Lib Dem candidate, especially as it was a Lib Dem seat. Perhaps the 177 postal votes swayed this election as so often happens.

Thanks to all those who helped in this hard fought campaign.

WELL DONE JEZ + TEAM

You can see that over the years the British National Party has steadily raised its vote and will continue to do so.

The results are in and it has shown how difficult a general election is with votes continuing to go to the LibLabCon 3 party state, which has now resulted in a hung parliament. Whilst the enemies of the British National Party will no doubt knock us for not getting an MP nationally, we would say to our supporters to check who is going up, by looking at the votes cast and the +/- figures below:

A massive Thank You to all those people who voted for the British National Party.

The long hard slog continues....

More dirty tricks going on as usual from leaflets not being distributed to candidates not being invited to hustings - Rev West was denied the chance to speak at one such meeting and it now appears that Cllr Mike Clayton wasnt invited to a hustings in Sleaford that happened on Sunday - all other candidates were invited, except the BNP (arranged by Sleaford & District Churches).

Just some of the knuckle dragging neanderthals who celebrated their Patron Saint.

SOUTH HOLLAND & THE DEEPINGS

Roy Harban

Roy is a married father of two grown up children. Over the years Roy has run a successful Judo club training many youngsters and adults to a high standard in judo. As well as coaching judo, Roy also spent time on the international circuit as a referee. Then he was voted on to the Board of Directors of the British Judo Association.

There are many issues in the area locally, however, migrant workers and unemployment for the indigenous people are very high on his agenda and if elected Roy will be a strong voice for local people who just wish to work for a fair days pay.

BNP Candidate Refused Hustings appearance

Subject: Hustings for 4th May 2010.

To: Pastor Stuart Bell, New Life Christian Fellowship.

Dear Stuart,

I was disappointed to hear that my invitation to the hustings at your chapel, on 4th May 2010, has been pulled due, apparently, to pressure from the Bishop of Lincoln and others.

I was at the Methodist Church in Kings Lynn on Wednesday where the BNP candidate, a Christian, spoke out for the need for Christian values in our Nation.

There were no problems, there, apart from the fact that the Muslim Labour Party candidate boycotted free speech and organised an anti-free speech protest outside the Methodist chapel.

Well, that is consistent with their values.

Whilst disappointed, I wish you well and trust that you will be granted that boldness to bring the truth of Christ's gospel to bear on many lives.

With warm Christian greetings,


Rev Robert West
BNP Candidate

The British National Party (along with other candidates) were also not invited to a "Question Time Debate," this despite the party beating the Liberal Democrats several times over the last couple of years. See here

For the record Rev West never attended the last hustings meetings held at the Bentley Hotel, due to feeling unwell and he sent his apologies the day before the event was hosted, so it wasnt a case of "not bothering to turn up" as some were quick to suggest.

Clearly, the Bishop of Lincoln does not want the truth to be heard from the mouth of the BNP.

As Bishop John is retiring to Wales soon, the author would like to take this opportunity to thank him for speaking out on the loss of our churches due to falling congregations (& mysterious fires), loss of morals in our Church of England Schools where graphic adult scenes are shown to children as young as seven, the growing islamic influence in our towns and cities, all his work in the unelected Lincolnshire Assembly that plays host to sinister common purpose facilitaters and graduates that are helping EU regionalisation plans of the europhiles, £100,000's he has helped earmark for social cohesion funding via Lincolnshire County Council etc. Yes, enjoy your retirement Bishop John and leave the British people to clear up the mess you have helped create - Ed
