With not an asylum seeker to be seen for ten miles, one of the lowest crime
rates in Britain, and the only non-white immigrant being the well respected
keeper of the local store, the BNP did well to get 15.2% of the poll in the
recent Yoxford by-election for the Suffolk Coastal district council. The Liberal
Democrats won with 455 votes; Tories second with 319, and Labour a distant
fourth with only 80 votes to the BNP's 153.
BNP candidate Paul Goodchild, who was born and
inbred in Suffolk, says that his
vote came primarily from the genuine Suffolkers - sometimes referred to as
'carrot crunchers' by the townies. Amongst the 'white flighters' who have made
their homes in this part of Suffolk, there is an abnormally high proportion of
liberal-left luvvies and category C celebrities who are fond of lecturing us
lesser mortals on the advantages of a multi-racial Britain but can afford to
sneak off home to rural Suffolk. They all got together in Yoxford, creating much
publicity locally and even nationally with a campaign to stop the BNP. |

There was Libby
Purvis, the long standing leftie BBC presenter; Peter Purvis former 'Blue Peter'
presenter (are these pair of political 'Purvies' related?); Paul Heiney,
another 2nd rank BBC presenter; and actors Bill Nighy and Diana Quick.
Paul Goodchild, a sergeant in the TA, said he was making a complaint to the
returning officer over the celebrities intervention as they were not candidates.
"Nevertheless", he added, "I am very pleased with the result."
One good thing for democracy is that the publicity generated by the luvvies
intervention led to a 62% turnout of the local electorate - about double the
normal poll.
This
months "Hysterical Idiot Award" goes to the
BNP and all associated with
it. On behalf of Suffolk HealthCare, we wish all BNP sympathisers and supporters
a very grand political disaster and total insolvency.
