Burnley Lib-Dems Throw in the Towel!
Burnley Liberals will not be campaigning for people to specifically vote Lib-Dem at the May council elections, according to Roger Frost, Leader of Burnley Council Liberal Democrats. In an incredible statement issued to the people of Burnley he said, This is the second time that Frost has snubbed his own party's local political aspirations in the past few weeks. In November he argued against Liberal Democrats candidates contesting the Lowerhouse and Trinity by-elections and then called on Liberal Democrat voters in those wards to support Labour Party candidates. The Liberal Democrats have worked hard to gain a foothold on Burnley Council and with nine councillors elected see themselves as the true opposition to New Labour in the the town. The behaviour of their leader on the council has angered party activitists who see him as "much too cosy with Labour" and "trying to get his feet under Stuart Caddy's table". But more worrying for the people of Burnley was where Councillor Roger Frost actually made these remarks. It was at a meeting of the shadowy organisation ANL, who advocate violence against anyone discussing the immigration issue. ANL was condemned in the Bradford Riot Report for provoking the mayhem in that city and their supporters were seen attacking innocent bystanders, because they thought they might be racists, on BBC and ITN news bulletins. According to ANL's website, Roger Frost said, "I am pleased to be associated with the ANL, particularly in Burnley." Now, if that's true, it's something else his party will probably want to talk to him about, because such a statement brings the Liberal Democrats into disrepute!
