Four candidates photocall...Forty patriots attending a black tie South Shropshire fundraising dinner donated a further £1400 towards local election costs as three new candidates were announced at the sell-out function, reports Deputy West Midlands Organiser James Whittall.
North Shropshire organiser Phillip Reddall has been nominated to contest the North Shropshire constituency and Mr Whittall will stand for the BNP in Shrewsbury and Atcham.
“These announcements were met with loud cheers, but the biggest cheer of all was saved for popular local lady Christina Evans, who was declared as the party’s candidate for Ludlow,” Mr Whittall said.
Ms Evans is the West Midlands Regional Treasurer and last year pushed Labour into last place when she fought the Ludlow East County Council seat for the first time.
Phillip Spencer has already been announced as a candidate in the seat of Telford. “In 2005, the BNP did not contest a single parliamentary seat in Shropshire, but with four of the five seats in Shropshire already confirmed, 2010 will be a very different story,” Mr Whittall said.
“For the first time ever the people of Shropshire are going to have a real alternative to the corrupt and anti-British agenda of the governing parties.”
The guests at the formal function were treated to speeches by Mr Whittall and BNP legal advisor Lee Barnes, both of whom delivered powerful addresses after the wonderful three course meal.
“The British National Party is the last hope for our children and grandchildren and it is our duty to save Britain for them,” Mr Whittall told the meeting. “The electorate will know that there is an alternative to the madness of the old parties.”
