English Democrats keep BNP OUT in East Wickham

Grace Goodlad,......LD 564, 18.9%

Hey what an exciting By-Election last night, with TWO recounts.

Two interesting things for the English Democrats

1 All Traditional Parties were fully aware that any claims that the English Democrats were "racist" in any way, would be challenged under the 1976 Race Relations Act.

2 All Tradition Parties agreed that the English Democrats had kept the BNP from gaining a Councillor in Bexley.

Welling was of course one of the main bases of the NF/BNP, and this was a tough battle.

Yes the English Democrats would have hoped for a better result, but Bi-Elections are very tricky terriortory.


English Democrats were able to do 3 Full Leaflet drops, but we were still out gunned by the BNP, Con, Lab & Lib who managed 5 or 6, and the BNP Canvassed the Ward !!!!!!!!!!

The Liberal Democrats won the competition for the most UGLY Candidate, and to top it all she was a SCOT
(She kept this well hidden on her literature !)

By saying this, you are destroying any credibility you have as a party.

If there is an ´English´ cause, then you disgrace it, my friends. You are not nationalists - you are scum.

Yes I can see why you were "Gutted" when you had the whole of the BNP in London Supporting the Campaign

Old Gang Parties Feel the Pressure after BNP Breakthrough in Bexley
January 23, 2009 by BNP News


There is now no longer such a thing as a safe old gang party seat when the BNP comes to town, said party leader Nick Griffin after yesterday’s dramatic election in the East Wickham ward in Bexley where candidate Michael Barnbrook lost to the Tories by just eight votes.

“The British National Party has achieved a dramatic breakthrough in Bexley, where, in the face of a concerted campaign by all three old gang parties, we still outpolled both LibDems and Labour,” Mr Griffin said.

The full result: Conservative 798; BNP 790; Labour 700; LibDems 564; English Democrats 128.

“When this result is put into perspective against the Whitehaven result in Cumbria and other results in the last month or two, the pattern of widespread BNP support across the country is clear,” the BNP leader continued.

“The Tories put in a massive effort and Bexley is not our traditional area of support. At present, the media is trying to create the impression of the Tories being on a high and sweeping the board, but this result shows that it is the BNP that is on a high. This is something which their ‘polls’ continually ignore, to their peril.”
