BNP search for Burnley base 'progressing'
12:00pm Wednesday 15th July 2009
A BID to find a North West headquarters for the BNP in Burnley has been narrowed down to “five or six” premises.
Coun Derek Dawson, who sits on Burnley Council, was last month instructed by BNP national leader and new MEP Nick Griffin to scour the town and Padiham for a new party base.
It provoked fury from opposition councillors and an MP who said the move would “drag the town down”.
Now Coun Dawson has revealed the search is progressing.
He has submitted a list of five or six potential sites in Burnley and Padiham to Mr Griffin, who is due to begin work as an MEP soon.
Coun Dawson said: “I hope we will have a headquarters in the near future, but at the moment Mr Griffin is in Brussels signing on as an MEP.”
Coun Dawson said BNP bosses may also be scouring Carlisle for a base in the north of the North West region.

Campaigned on a ticket to make parents responsible for the crimes of their children. What he failed to tell voters was that his own son was one of the areas worst offenders. Also put out BNP leaflets claiming a local library building was going to become a mosque. When it was proved that this was a lie he did not apologise but simply claimed that somebody had obviously made up quotes from him. Now thats what you get for voting for the BNP the so called party of law and order.

BNP are a waste of time. I think by them coming to burnley area, they will cause trouble. We need to clamp down these groups who are in minority and who stir racial hatred.

I cant believe the faschists that patrol this website can remove my innocuous comment yet leave some of this racist rubbish on.
Still, it shows where the LT editors head is at, doesn't it?
We mustnt criticise BNPley and its second rate football ground, but we can say what we want about immigration, asians etc.
Pathetic LT. Hang your heads in shame

Thats how I see it.
Personally, I think Labour is a waste of time too.
So what if the BNP want their HQ in Burnley. They have every right to!

The fact is that the media have brainwashed millions of people into believing that the BNP are fascists. This is a lie. Fascism is forcing your political agenda onto others with or without their permission, which is exactly what the Labour regime have been doing regarding both uncontrolled mass immigration and a seemingly masochistic desire to enslave the British people to Brussels rule, raping us of both our cultural identity and sovereignty.
Did Britain fight two world wars to have our nation meekly handed over to foreigners by divisive anti-democratic liars?
Thankfully, millions of Britons aren't fooled and the BNP will grow and grow, whilst the traitors of Westminster are exposed as being just that.
