The British National Party has selected Michael Barnbrook to stand for the Dagenham and Rainham Parliamentary constituency.
Michael is best known as the sleazebuster who has exposed more corrupt politicians in Westminster than any other person.
He was born in Oldchurch 
Hospital, Romford and was brought up in Plaistow, where he attended Plaistow Grammar School. He left home at the age of 20 to join the Metropolitan Police. He served for 30 years, retiring in the rank of Inspector. On his retirement from the Police he went to work for a local authority, helping them to set up their own Parks Constabulary, where he served a further 7 years in the Parks Constabulary before finally retiring in 2001.
He is a married man with four adult children, a son, daughter and two stepdaughters. He also has six grandchildren.
Since retiring Michael has spent much of his time raising money to purchase headstones and arrange ceremonies for the unmarked graves of holders of the Victoria Cross. To date he has been involved in ten such ceremonies.
His other passion is race walking where he has represented the Metropolitan Police and Ilford Athletic Club. He was awarded his colours for representing the British Police. He is also a member of the Centurions Walking Club, an elite club, where membership is restricted to athletes who have walked one hundred miles in less than 24 hours.
Michael has also been involved in charity work and raised sufficient money to purchase an ambulance for the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
His finest achievement is for being the individual responsible for exposing the Parliamentary expenses scandal when he reported Derek Conway MP for abusing his Parliamentary allowances. He also reported Michael Martin for misuse of air miles. This together with the Derek Conway affair, were instrumental in causing Michael Martin, the Speaker of the House of Commons, to stand down. This is the first time this has happened in 300 years.
Michael Barnbrook has been responsible for nine MPs having to stand down at the next election or repay monies to the Parliamentary fees office. It is estimated that as a direct result of Michael Barnbrook’s fight against Parliamentary corruption, as many as 150 MPs will be standing down at the next General Election.
As the son of a former Docker from the East End and having been brought up in a working class environment, Michael Barnbrook knows that he can identify with the hard working constituents of Dagenham and Rainham, especially senior citizens, whom he considers have been badly let down by the Labour Party.
Michael Barnbrook will be working closely with British National Party Chairman Nick Griffin MEP who is the candidate in the neighbouring constituency of Barking and also with his namesake (but no relation!) Richard Barnbrook who is the prospective BNP leader of Barking and Dagenham Council.
