Oh dear, have we upset someone?

Just a quick post as I haven't been paying as much attention to the blog as perhaps I should recently with the elections and all. For those of you who don't already know we managed to get two BNP councillors elected in Rotherham which is quite an achievement in this town so congratulations to Cllr's Gamble and Blair, I'm absolutely sure they will do a superb job serving the people in their wards. As an added bonus Cllr Gamble unseated the incumbent Mayor which won't have pleased the Labour Party at all but it gave us a degree of satisfaction.

But to be fair, the Labour Party deserve some of the credit for being so unremittingly
bloody awful and In fact we're counting on more Labour Party assistance of this sort in the next round of elections.

I'd also like to sincerely thank all the BNP candidates who did not get elected this time around. It takes a lot of courage or a serious case of 'I've had as much as I can stand and I'm not gonna take anymore' anger to stand for the BNP in this town at this moment in time with the 'Politically Correct Brigade' having the whip hand over our nation. This I believe will change over time, as indeed it's starting to.

Thanks also go out to everyone who helped in the campaign, with the leafletting, folding etc. your support (you know who you are) was and is very much appreciated.

I noticed, when I got around to looking, that the last blog post (BNP hope not hate) attracted rather a lot of comment but strangely enough none of them were really on topic and indeed most if not all consisted of personal attacks on myself. Well, I was heartbroken, I can't imagine what I/we have done to upset these people (two BNP councillors in Rotherham perhaps?).

In all my time as a member of the BNP and as Rotherham organiser I've never had anyone say anything nasty or hateful to me or tell lies about me so I'm going to leave the comments as they are to remind me to be nice and do my best not to upset anyone. The comments, incidentally, also serve to demonstrate quite clearly the calibre of some of the BNP's opposition. Rather than take on our policies or beliefs with a constructive argument or criticism they prefer to launch straight into the infantile name calling. I suppose for them its much more satisfying as it's quick, easy (their minds are operating at their accustomed level) and they don't have to do any of that tiresome thinking that lefties and their fellow travellers find so burdensome.

I was asked by a friend if these type of comments actually bother me and the short answer is no. I use a mind over matter technique to get me through i.e. ' I don't mind because they don't matter'.

I do in fact find it rather encouraging as it puts me in mind of the old saying

' If you're not taking flak you're not over the target'.

It would seem that the BNP in Rotherham is most definitely over the target.
