How many times the British National Party planned to hold a meeting in a council-owned facility only to be cancelled after pressure from other political parties or threat from the thuggish UAF?
So many that it’s impossible to recall.
However it’s refreshing to know that at least this time the chief executive of Wyre Council is not giving in to pressure from the local Labour branch.
According to the “Blackpool Gazette”, a British National Party rally is to be held in Cleveleys.
Wyre’s Labour Group has objected to the meeting, which will be held at the council-owned Frank Townend Centre on Beach Road at 7pm on Tuesday.
Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP, could be a speaker and the Labour group is worried there will be demonstrations.
It has called for council bosses to step in and refuse permission for the rally – but Wyre Council has insisted the BNP has to be treated like any other political party before the Jubilee Ward by-election on
October 22.
Labour group leader Coun Clive Grunshaw said: “Council premises should not be used in such a way during the middle of the Jubilee ward by-election.
“The Frank Townend Centre is in fact the site of the polling station for the by-election and giving permission for its use for political purposes at this time is clearly not appropriate.
“The fact is that Wyre Council is under no obligation to allow a political rally of this kind to take place on their premises. A rally by the BNP – which we believe to be addressed by Nick Griffin – will incite the inevitable demonstrations.”
The Labour group also says it has concerns the community centre is in a densely populated area.
But Wyre chief executive Jim Corry said: “The BNP are a formally recognised political party and I am not going to make any distinction between them and any other political party when it comes to booking council facilities.
“I do not agree this will be viewed as the council giving tacit support to one particular organisation, not least as UKIP has booked the same venue on another occasion.”
It’s a bit rich for Labour to express fear of demonstrations as they have always used UAF thugs to attack BNP activists and this explains why the Police never prosecuted any of them.
Clearly our recent victory in the EU elections played a part in Wyre Council’ decision, it would have been unthinkable only one year ago to hear a chief executive saying that the BNP must be treated like any other party.

Interesting article thankyou.
The worm is turning!
Do I see a chink of light at the end of the tunnel?
We are getting there Guisseppe, thanks to you and all the other writers on Nationalist blogs. Lets face it, we are never going to get fair treatment from the MSM so we must rely on the efforts of a small band of brothers to get our message across.
Keep it up my friend, God bless us one and all.
Jim Corry said: “The BNP are a formally recognised political party and I am not going to make any distinction between them and any other political party when it comes to booking council facilities."
Jim Corry, Sir, please take a bow. Excellent and refreshing to at least know there are a few, unbiased, open-mind and impartial citizens left in this country.
This is the way it should be, no discrimination.
I'm a Wigan member, and the comments from the Chief Exec of Wyre council that we SHALL be treated as any other political party is a breakthrough on its own. We are finally being recognised by officialdom, What a result.? I am very sorry to ALL our children and grand-children for not getting politically involved years ago. I have only been a member for 10 months but I have seen in that time, a massive increase in support for the BNP. Almost every day there is a new branch opening somewhere,Well done to all concerned, as I say as often as I can, "keep talking to people" thats our best weapon… GOOD LUCK TO US ALL.?
“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope”
We will reach our goal in the end, and its looks as if small steps have turned in to huge strides.
Well done everyone.
I hope you've all read the result of the Wyre meeting. A full house of 80 people and 9 new members. you will have to go some to catch up with the North West LOL.
Spot on. I suspect many people are sick and tired of thugs turning up to 'demonstrate' against free speech. The fact they are funded by the taxpayer, and supported even by Cameron, must stick in the craw of many people, wose contact with taxation is restricted to being punished by it. It woudn't surprise me if Question Time on October 22nd mightn't be a turning-point. I hope there will be arrests for once. Why should subsidised screamers, paid unwillingly by us, and also paid from anti-British trade unions, be free to stop debate? This started in the 1970s, or perhaps, looking back, the 1930s. Unfortunately, so far, governments have shown no interest in holding the ring for debate. Maybe this will change; perhaps the Met will finally be pushed into action.
The worm is indeed turning, not before time. Excellent news.
Meeting true English people, and true British people, be they English, Irish, Sottish, or Welsh, and feeling that common bond that binds us together, is a feeling worth fighting for.
it does not matter what spin the LibLabCon trinity put on immigrants, no matter where they originate from they can NEVER share that with us, we have earned that right by fighting wars against each other, and fighting wars side by side, we are comfortable with our own kind, and if that is racist, THEN I AM A RACIST.
