The Britisch National Party managed to get over 30% in a local byelection in Derbyshire. The party came second with just 159 votes behind Labour in Heanor and Loscoe in Derbyshire's Amber Valley borough.

David Cameron Spins Faster than the Tornado

03-02-2006 15:57

Rotten tomatoes welcome Neo-Tory David Cameron

Coinciding with the Tory party’s latest efforts to market itself as a party concerned with social justice and urban regeneration, neo-Tory leader David Cameron MP paid a second visit on 20th January, 2006, to the Tornado-hit area of Balsall Heath in South Birmingham. On the face of it, it seems Cameron had been invited by local resident Rohan Green, who claims to have approached Cameron during his last visit to Birmingham during the Tory leadership campaign last November. The last time Eton-educated Cameron came to Birmingham, he spoke about promoting Conservatism in urban constituencies and using the voluntary sector and social enterprise rather than the state to tackle deprivation and promote social justice. Cameron’s visit to Birchwood Road and Alder Road was ironically preceded by a visit to St. Paul’s School in Balsall Heath, which is currently faced with imminent closure by his Tory-led City Council. The fact that this visit was also filmed for the Conservative Party reveals something about the real intentions Cameron and Brum’s Tory-led Council have for the still-recovering inner city area hit by the 2005 Tornado.

Imagine living on ‘death row’ … in Britain. Being allowed to walk around, but not knowing which day you’ll be seized and sent back to your enemies. This is the story of a failed asylum seeker in Nottingham. He's lived in the shadows for 5 years. He can't stay and he can't go back. What is he to do?
