BNP Chairman Speaks in Burnley

Two hundred members and supporters of Burnley and Pendle BNP packed a local working men's club last night to hear an address by the British National Party chairman, Nick Griffin.

It was by far the biggest BNP meeting ever held in Burnley.

BNP North West regional organiser, Chris Jackson, chaired the proceedings and the first speaker was Martin Wingfield, Burnley BNP's campaign manager for the local council elections.

Mr Wingfield reported to the meeting that twelve candidates had so far been selected to contest twelve wards in the town. He paid tribute to the commitment and resolve of these candidates in being prepared to stand up for their beliefs and offer a real alternative to the voters of Burnley.

BNP chairman, Nick Griffin, spoke on the growing fears of the indigenous population over the spiralling growth of Britain's Muslim community. He explained how through immigration, refugee settlement, arranged marriages, asylum seekers and birth-rate, the Muslim community in Britain was expanding at the rate of a million a year.

Mr Griffin outlined how the British people where now waking up to this reality 'in their thousands, every week,' and were turning to the BNP as the only political party that was prepared to respond to their concerns.

Mr Griffin's 60 minute speech received a two minute standing ovation.

Chris Jackson closed the meeting by reminding those present that the next five weeks were the most important in the history of Burnley BNP. He called on every member and supporter to play their part in helping to get British National Party councillors elected to Burnley council on May 2nd.

* Candidate interviews for Briercliffe Ward will take place this Saturday.
