Post-Election Message from the Leader of the BNP in Amber Valley

Posted on 08. May, 2010 by Cllr Lewis Allsebrook in General Election, Local News

I’ll start by thanking everyone who supported and voted British National Party in the local and General Election. Our vote, although squeezed, held up in Amber Valley and I’m very pleased that for the first time ever we’ve saved our deposit of £500 which will be a welcome boost to local funds following an election.

During the campaign it was hard for the BNP to deal with wall to wall TV coverage of the LibLabCon, and many voters took the decision (through gritted teeth) to back the bigger parties to unseat the unpopular Judy Mallaber.

Surprisingly Labour voters also turned out in force.  This made it a tight contest, desperate Labour even argued that one spoilt ballot should be cast against the BNP rather than the Tories!  I don’t think in the General election people turned out for Mallaber’s benefit but more because they feel uneasy at the prospect of a Conservative government. Traditionally the Tories cut essential services that people who are not rich rely upon.  People have been looking back to the last Tory government with foreboding where the NHS was on the verge of collapse and state schools were falling apart.  To Labour’s credit when they were first elected in 1997 the situation for education and health services was improved.  In that respect I can understand why people would stand by Labour, but when I hear people say I’m voting Labour because my Dad and Grandad did so, it frustrates me.

In Labours 1997 manifesto the following statement was made;

“I want to renew faith in politics through a government that will govern in the interest of the many, the broad majority of people who work hard, play by the rules, pay their dues and feel let down by a political system that gives the breaks to the few, to an elite at the top increasingly out of touch with the rest of us.”

The above is obviously a key promise Labour have welched on, they put minorities first, protected claimants above workers, made prison life easy and have been the worst robbing elite, out of touch with the rest of us, in history. That’s the reason why I feel it’s right they’re bought down a peg or two.  If Labour are ever going to be a force for good again they need to be grounded so they can see how hard it is to find a real job, how difficult it can be to make ends meet, so basically they see things through the eyes of a working class person.  Personally I think the Labour Party is so full of stuck-up snobs that they’ll never get back to that.  That’s why I’m a BNP member and to quote Edward Holmes “The BNP is the real new Labour Party.” I feel that statement could never be so true and Edward would know, he is the ex-Labour Chairman of Ashfield District Council, now BNP parliamentary candidate for Ashfield.  To back this up further I pose the question, why are Labour not asking the following question that Keir Hardie (founder of the Labour Party) made in 1906, one of their first manifesto’s?;

The House of Commons is supposed to be the people’s House, and yet the people are not there.

Landlords, employers, lawyers, brewers, and financiers are there in force. Why not Labour?

Sadly electing the Tories won’t achieve the above goal either.  Our new MP is Nigel Mills and his background is in finance.  Don’t get me wrong I think Nigel Mills is a thoroughly nice bloke and I wish him all the best in his new role, but I’d rather be represented by Michael Clarke (BNP candidate) a hard working tradesman who knows the struggles of building an award winning upholstery business from scratch.

But on the Tories the same could be said about them not being the same Conservative Party of the past who under Winston Churchill led Britain to victory against all odds, and a Nazi enemy that would have destroyed everything Britain stands for and left our long and proud historical heritage in bits.  Once the defenders of our great heritage the modern Tories don’t even know which way up to fly our national flag as was demonstrated in Heanor when they hoisted it above the Conservative Club upside down.

Nevertheless I’ll be giving Nigel Mills some grace to get into his new position as our MP and hoping that unlike Mallaber he’ll put Amber Valley first rather than pursue pet projects in places like the Republic Of Congo in Africa.  Although I don’t believe Nigel is a ‘strong voice’ he is an intelligent local man, and I believe his heart is in Amber Valley.  Hopefully he’ll get over his nervous imposition to murmur and gain the confidence to be a strong local advocate for Amber Valley.  The last thing we need right now is a shrinking violet who toes the Conservative party line.

For us in the BNP locally we have to face the reality that we’ll need to work even harder than ever before to push for real change and break the deep seated mis-guided loyalties of the supporters of the failed old parties. It’s not going to be easy and it’s not going to happen over night but to get the social justice and fairness that we all crave we’ll need to get better organised and be more determined than ever before.

Regards

Lewis Allsebrook (Leader of the BNP in Amber Valley)
