Rumour has it that the BNP's North-West regional organiser Roy Goodwin has finally been booted out after months of chaos and arguments in both the region and his local Blackpool branch. We're told that he's been replaced by former Burnley branch organiser David Shapcott.
Goodwin has come in for mountains of criticism over the past year or so, partly for his bullying, partly for his stupidity but mostly because he couldn't organise the proverbial piss-up in a brewery. On second thoughts, that's probably the one thing he could organise.
The Blackpool branch of the BNP were said to have been 'stunned' that, after putting up seven candidates in the city - where they expected to grab at least a couple of seats - they managed the nice round figure of none at all. Not entirely Goodwin's fault - a combination of local union activists and Searchlight put in a lot of work to oppose them - but a great opportunity to boot him out, all the same, hastily taken by his branch.
We'd like to say something to console Goodwin in his time of trouble and tribulation - but we don't care. We're just glad to see the back of him - possibly the only thing that we share with the North-West region of the BNP.

How do you know

I'm sure that campaigning against the BNP is a very gratifying hobby for people who think that the general population of this country would elect BNP candidates if it weren't for their valiant efforts, but the fact is that hardly anyone would vote for them anyway.
Assuming that you are one of the clever people who saves the silly populace from making the wrong decison at elections is elitist and very sad.

Sorry. ;-)
'How do you know that the trade unions and Searchlight are the reasons that the BNP got no seats in Blackpool?'
Try reading the post properly. We didn't say that.

Good job we didn't say that either then, isn't it. If you're going to try to be clever, at least make an effort.
