Over the last few months the BNP have been manning a stall in the Bracknell Town centre on a regular basis. The BNP believe they are getting a good response (See the BNP site here.)
This is a worrying sign for those that believe in an inclusive society. The BNP have been putting work into Bracknell and have been making headway. During the European elections the BNP gained 5.5 percent of the votes (1490).
Part of this increase in the BNP vote is due to Andy McBride the South East organiser who is very high up in the BNP party ranks, this has had an effect on the BNP campaign in Bracknell. He was on the South East list of BNP prospective MEPs and has stood in his local council ward of Priestwood Bracknell gaining 6% of the vote in 2007.
Of course the other great effects on the vote were the Andrew Mackay MP 2nd homes scandal which gave some extra fuel to the BNP locally and the lack of campaigning in the town centre by the main parties.
I’m often in Bracknell town and so far I have only seen the Lib Dems handing out leaflets when the BNP Stool is in town. There is not often a presence from the main parties and I would like to see them challenge the BNP more and get other views across.
Bracknell is not a high immigration town even thought I guess some people would believe it is. So I think the other reason why the BNP are doing well here is the BNP point that Bracknell town “has been effectively abandoned to us”.
Bracknell town centre does feel neglected if you stand in the Middle and examine the town centre (which is still awaiting its renewal). If only more renewal work was done to bring Bracknell back to life, like the new Bracknell and Wokingham College building which I believe should breathe some new life into the town centre.
I hope more is done to challenge the BNP in Bracknell otherwise I believe the BNP could win a seat on Bracknell’s council which would be very uncomfortable for all and will dent Bracknell’s imagine.

ReplyDeleteAnonymous. what are you saying. As A proud Brit I dont want to live anywhere else thank you. I think you find that Bracknell is not anything like Pakistan.
ReplyDeleteThe Armed forces parade in Bracknell today was a good response to BNP followers. As well as our proud veterans there were Ghukas and Cadets which included non whites within there proud British ranks.
Bracknell Conservatives have run successful campaigns around the town centre, including a stall in Stanley Walk.

The BNP are currently just a small side show in the Town Centre, but you are right that we should not dismiss them outright, given that they got a little over half of the votes that the Lib Dems got, and two thirds of the vote that Labour got. We should though, beware of giving the BNP too much free publicity.
On the other subject; the regeneration of Bracknell Town centre is progressing slowly. Unlike other projects around the country Bracknell has not been cancelled. There is a significant investment in the town centre, and Bracknell is well positioned to move on when the economic climate improves. The Council is working with the Regeneration Partnership to keep the town centre in a good state in the mean time. You may have notice the replacement of benches and planters, and repainting going on. Other work on compulsory purchase orders and road closures has also been going on in the background. The Council has served a section 215 notice on the owners of Winchester house, ordering them to maintain the building.
Thank you Alvin Finch I'm sorry I missed your stall we must all stand together against the BNP I personally am worried as they did get a lot of votes. Thank u also on the imformation on the regeneration I'm very pleased that it is still going ahead I guess I'm frustrated with how long it taken
ReplyDeletePoliticians, no matter where they roam are cheats, liars and crooks looking towards their own nest eggs as the recent expenses scandal pointed out, on all sides of the fence. Next we will be hearing none of these individuals belong to masonic lodges, they all care about the community, they all want a better town for the rest of us. Crap, all they want is greed, money and false power by which to rule the masses.
ReplyDeletePeople slag off the BNP yet fail to mention how many politicians have read and work from Adolf Hitlers Mein Kampf Publication. Not to mention a host of other 'Political Books' which teach how to 'control' the population and influence what is made available to the Nation. Health Care and so on.
Yet these people stand and tell us,they represent the people. No way, they represent those above them, Church and State. Not the people of Britain. Long live the Peasants, as Britain remains a draconian state, organised and run by puppet masters.
