The Candidates
Simon Bennett (BNP)
Simon believed that the demise of Burnley Wood was down to unfair funding and found that the British National Party were the only political party in the town that were prepared to challenge the Labour council on their bias.
He was, at first, cautious of aligning himself with the BNP because of the bad press the party had received in the past. But his investigations found a modern, professional and much-changed organisation who were in touch with the people of Burnley and, unlike the others, were not restrained by any politically correct dogma.
Simon joined the BNP in 1998 and is now the acting organiser of the Burnley and Pendle Branch.
