Introducing Andy Kenyon . . .

Andy Kenyon is 38 years old and married with three children. He was born in Padiham and has lived there all his life.

From 1980, Andy served for 5 years with the 2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment including a tour of duty in Northern Ireland. He fought for his country in the Falklands War and was wounded during the battle to regain the islands.

For the last two years he has worked as production manager for a local upholstery company. When asked why he is standing for the BNP in Gawthorpe Ward, Andy Kenyon is blunt and to the point,
"I want a British future for my children in Burnley."
