Your British National Party Candidate

Introducing Mark Terrell . . .

Mark Terrell was the BNP candidate in the November council by-election in Trinity Ward and came second to Labour, polling an excellent 181 votes which was over 19% of the total vote. This time he is confident of going one better.

Forty-one year old Mark is married and lives on the Stoops Estate. He worked for 12 years with the local engineering firm Teneco Walker, and has also worked in the textile trade.

But Mark is best known for his taxi firm "Burnley Born & Bred" which was his way of trying to compete with the domination in the town of Muslim taxi firms. He explains why he is standing for Burnley Council,
"I am contesting Trinity to make a stand against positive discrimination in favour of the ethnic minorities. If I am elected I will end Labour's preferential funding for the Asian community."
