The chairman opened the meeting stating that these were exciting times for our Party. Never before did the BNP have such potential in the parliamentary and local elections!

Nearly sixty people were in for a display of fine speeches. The legendary veteran Richard Edmonds, the main speaker of the meeting, bestowed on the gathering a beautiful, passionate and emotional rendition of the past and a reality check on what might be the future. He made it clear that our Party was the only hope for our People and we as a movement had to do our utmost to seize this opportunity. It was a pulsating speech of sheer enthusiasm.

Michael Barnbrook, The BNP Sleazebuster and parliamentary candidate for Dagenham and Rainham told the audience that he was going to make them angry and by doing so the good people in the room would donate to the election fund! The former Police Inspector focused on the corruption in the House of Commons and in the GLA. Michael’s plan worked too, as the meeting raised a record branch total of £2400!

After the break two fine, competent Ladies of the British National Party addressed the meeting. First up was the Eltham Parliamentry Candidate Roberta Woods. She stated: “I never expected in my wildest dreams to be a candidate for this Party: however this would be the fourth occasion I am standing.” Roberta made a plea for people to stand in the local elections even if they were only to be as paper candidates and she finished by saying “think what a legacy you would leave for your children if you were to stand as a candidate for this party: you’d be trying to help save your Nation from oblivion”! Roberta’s speech had a profound effect on a number of people who stepped forward to volunteer as candidates after the meeting.

Our last speaker was the very determined and sharp Tess Culnane. She was so passionate and a fine example of the quality of the array of Parliamentary Candidates on show. Tess is standing in Orpington. She made it clear, “I have never been frightened of being a candidate or a member of the British National Party: And why should we be?” Tess explained her role on the GLA. She was investigating slum landlords who converted houses into tiny bedsits and charged a fortune for rent. She also said that “it was a disgrace that part of The Royal Greenwich Park would close due to the Olympics. Tess also asked if anyone had any issues to bring them to her attention and she would do her utmost to investigate them.

The Chairman thanked everyone for their support and closed the meeting.
