From the Horse's Mouth........

And if you thought it was only outsiders who could see the bigger picture.

Here is a recent quote from Darlington Councillor ~ Nick Wallis:
http://darlingtoncouncillor.blogspot.com/2008/04/fighting-bnp-in-chilton.html

'When you talk to some people who are potential BNP voters, they generally couldn't give a reason why they might vote fascist - simply that they were disaffected.
I didn't detect that there was some growing support for the BNP's repellant policies, simply that some people wanted change. They could equally have voted Tory or LibDem if those parties seemed likely winners.

And yet there is a huge amount at stake here, because as we know, a BNP success in the Chilton seat will be feted by that party as evidence of growing support for their programme.

One of our activists told me about a conversation he'd had with a BNP supporter in West Cornforth, who'd told him that Hitler was right when he gassed the Jews. Like all parties of the far right, they seek to marginalise and stigmatise minorities who they like to blame for all of society's ills.
Their politics remain as noxious in the 21st century as they were in the 1930's and 40's'

But as John Burton (Blairs agent) says and he should know ~ 'We just dont have a problem with racism here'!

Let's start at the very beginning.............

........It's a very good place to start!

I moved to the North East of England in June 2002 and little did I know I would be entering into the Lion's Den.
The Lion in question being Tony Blair, at that time the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and chief proposer of the Anti-Social Behaviour Order.
The flagship of an act of parliament that was brought in to reduce crime and disorder.
However, in the kingdom of Sedgefield where Tony reigned supreme and unchallenged, ASBO's were seldom used.

But Tony had vision with his policy and of course in the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed man is king!

Sedgefield Borough Council's website tells the world that it takes matters of antisocial behaviour very seriously, however until they were taken to task over their failure to accept and help a Sedgefield Borough Council tax payer (at that time Sedgefield Council tax was the highest in UK), not only did they have no policy on ASB (anti-social behaviour) they didn't even have a dedicated ASB officer to deal with complaints.

So nobody complained and people suffered.

Thus, the ignorance and the misery continued on in Sedgefield Constituency, on and on and on...... until one person said

'Enough is Enough'.....that person was me!

That was when the trouble really started!!!!
