Like most other people I was saddened to see that the BNP won two seats in the European Election.
The BNP are a racist, white supremacist party, who will not allow non-whites to join their party.
This comes after the BNP had come very close to winning a council seat in Bexley, indeed they came within 8 votes of taking East Wickham, in a by-election earlier this year.
We know that the BNP activists are working in Erith & Thamesmead spreading their racist dogma. They try and give simple answers to complex problems by blaming people with a different skin colour.
However, I don’t believe that the majority of the people that voted for the BNP actually agree with their racist ideology. It will be up to the Teresa Pearce and myself to set out our stalls to persuade people to to support a mainstream non-racist party instead.
Watch this space…
I am STANDING FOR CHANGE. As the Member of Parliament for Erith & Thamesmead I will fight for local people and make sure that our constituency gets the strong leadership it deserves. Like most people, I am sick and tired of the way that this area has been let down by the Labour Party who have taken us for granted. If I am going to bring dynamic political leadership to our area, I need YOUR VOTE! Married with four children, I am actively involved in my church, council and charities.
