a list of the 333 seats declared so far...

That's a hefty £166,500 in deposits!

To save a deposit a candidate now has to get at least 5% of the votes cast. It will be interesting to see how many of the 333 they save.

 

[JimPage]

Just on BNP website- final total will be 338 parliamentary seats and 780 local ones

 

[JimPage]

Breakdown of seats
Eastern – 40 seats out of a possible 58 .
East Midlands – 34 seats out of a possible 46
London – 33 seats out of a possible 73
North East – 29 seats out of 29
North West – 37 seats out of a possible 75 .
Scotland – 14 seats out of a possible 59 .

Lest we forget... First of three parts @ Youtube:

Lest we forget what exactly? It was Griffin's ability to avoid entrapment by Cook (into paramilitary activity), and the determined way he confronted Cook when the latter hoped to surprise him, that did much to endear Griffin to a BNP membership that was to a large extent suspicious of this third positionist arriviste. Such adroitness helped Griffin launch his leadership challenge against Tyndall, who was routinely made to look like a confused muppet on TV. What next--are you going to post a link to the even more disastrous BBC/Searchlight 'Secret Agent' documentary, that really helped the BNP consolidate their political breakthrough, including from the resulting trial?

You recyclers of failed liberal/Guardianista/Searchlight propaganda can do all genuine anti-fascists a favour and sod off back to Hampstead. Or, even better, go out and dish your idiotic HNH propaganda claiming Griffin is a Nazi: equally disastrous in terms of genuine anti-fascism.

Aint no hampstead in Ireland..

Aint no organised fash gaining much ground either...

Maybe I should subscribe to your anti-fash tactics.. u seem to be doing so well

if you were only talking about fascism in Ireland, I would have had no comment to make: however Griffin is a fascist in the UK (in case you hadn't noticed), so your pathetic attempt to play a nationalist card rather than answer my argument will fool none but the gullible

 

[Larry O'Hara]

.....in the Green Party.

good of you to remind me to mention my take on Barking & Dagenham http://www.borderland.co.uk/preview_002.htm

...though that wasn't what you intended, was it? You thought to evade any argument by a piss-poor attempt at ridicule.

Reminding me why I post so rarely on this forum.

As it goes the BNP are running 1 candidate in the 6 counties for the 'UK gov'... gonna get such a minuscule vote to be negligible... 39 Northern members on the leaked list, of which over half denied their existence with such a group...

You didn't present an argument just vitriolic BS... I merely pointed out that there is no hampstead in Ireland... not nationalism, just blatantly obvious! I would consider myself internationalistic.. one fight, one struggle...

Maybe you should wander over to indymedia.ie and see how we treat any attempt of Fascists gaining a foothold...

¡No Pasarán!

Hadnt noted that- where are they standing?

And as to geting a miniscule vote- why? Thats what we use to say in Scotland before the Glasgow NE by-election- and what people in what purport to be labour strongholds throughout england said as well in the past...

Not something I commented on--I never raised the question of Ireland, nor did you in your first post. So to retrospectively imply plugging the Cook Report was anything to do with the BNP standing in the 6 counties is irrelevant.

You didn't present an argument just vitriolic BS...

Drawing attention to the inadequacy of the Cook Report could never be as BS as the original programme...And it is not BS to say the show strengthened GRiffin's hand inside the BNP--unless you regard that as a good thing?

I merely pointed out that there is no hampstead in Ireland... not nationalism, just blatantly obvious!

Indeed--but as I have pointed out (three times now) your original post did not refer to Ireland at all, a deliberate red herring you introduced to evade the issues.

 

[Larry O'Hara]

Maybe I should subscribe to your anti-fash tactics.. u seem to be doing so well

My tactics are unfortunately (in my view) not the predominant ones on offer--sadly, those are HNH & the UAF clowns, plus the liberal/Searchlight media circus. So, I don't accept any responsibility for those tactics failure.

Interesting- as unlike the searchlight nonsense about "BNP campaign collapsing" Unilever have unlimited money, and will probably go after them for a multi squllion damages action
