British National Party fails to win through
The British National Party has so far failed to win a seat in Sedgefield - despite polling strongly.
Party activists had been bullish about their chances in Chilton.
But the far right party's candidates were beaten in every seat they contested.
The party did, however, poll more than 2,000 votes.
Labour activists have targeted the area in the last few days, urging people to vote.

Elsewhere the BNP have been polling strong, gaining seats so far in:
Nuneaton & Bedworth = 2
Rotherham = 2
Thurrock = 1
Marsden ward Pendle = 1
Amber Valley = 1
Reports indicate BNP polling around 13%

Excellent point AVGMAN. No one will ever take the BNP seriously with their racist views and backwards ideas.

Whats that Andy?-
Onwards and upwards? With that pathetic rate of progress, I bet you are scared that by the time the BNP get any power, the 'non-whites' will have taken over! Laughable.

Hello "Normal".
With people like you, who take pleasure at that possiblity of the Native White inhabitants of these isles going extinct as a result of current policies of immigration and multiculturalism, trying to convince everyone that the BNP is "Nazi", "Racist" and "Zionist" (yes that one too) it's really a miracle the BNP are doing as well as they are.
The BNP is completely in line with international standards regarding the rights of indigenous peoples and the prevention of genocide.
We have the right to exist and to continue to exist into the future. Please respect that.

Its a shame that the BNP is the only viable alternative to the main parties to be honest, a lot of their attitudes stem from misguided beliefs though, yes we all want lower immigration and better state care for the true residents of our country but at the same time we have to look at the bigger picture of the majority of the people who vote BNP are work shy idiots who rob the country of benefits they arent welcome too. At least (for the most part) the immigrants I know have all come to work, and actually contribute to society, how many council estates do we all drive past these days with entire generations of clampet families who have no intention of ever doing an honest days work ever. There are exceptions to the council estate rule but majoritarily the people inhabititing these estates cannot be arsed to work, I wasnt born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but i learned that you get what you earn unlike most of the youth of today.

Prevention of genocide? - So the BNP like to 'prevent genocide', while denying the Holocaust?
Regarding your hatred of 'non-whites' in the UK - do you only support football teams that have a team of white players? (or are you one of the guys doing the monkey noises?)

Given that the old metal boxes have been switched for cardboard versions its a wonder the BNP have any votes at all especially given the removal of seals at the Alexandra Palace counting station.
A quote from the BNPs website...
“We have lodged an official complaint with the Returning Officer here over the large number of ballot boxes, stored overnight, which have had their seals broken and the contents obviously interfered with. The ballot boxes here are quite literally hanging open.
The Returning Officer says they have taken note, but that there is nothing we can do about it.”
I find this activity and that response utterly disgraceful, IMO the elections in that ward should be redone using the old metal boxes and the count made the same night!

I think the inexcusably poor reporting of its own electoral successes' even on its own high profile website, is appalling, and does not bode well for the future of BNP under its present administration. Is it too much to ask where BNP holds seats, and who holds them?!

Love it, Two by elections ago the low life labourites claimed the BNP would never get more than 10 councillors, then at the last lot they swore the BNP would lose the ten they had, but the BNP went up to 60 plus seats, this time they went up to 100 seats and in many wards came ahead of the tories and lib dems. The numbers voting BNP rise each election and the number of councillors rise asccordingly, and in this area labours answer is to (A) Bluster and (B) Steal the BNPs election posters. I al;so noted with delight that the independants did very well. its a good day for all decent people when the labourites get hammered.

County Durham was once one of the staunchest Labour strongholds. Now they have the BNP coming close to beating them in many wards. They have run the place like a rotten borough. The desperate smear tactics are not working. People are opening their eyes to media lies. The BNP is working at the grassroots and connecting with local people on a positive agenda.
