The British National Party’s candidate for Wallsall North will be Christopher Woodall, it was announced at the latest party meeting in the area.
Mr Woodall, who is also the local organiser, declared his intention to fight a fully fledged campaign which would include organised teams of leafletters and canvassers.
“We have already saturated the Walsall North constituency with the latest party leaflet,” Mr Woodall told the meeting. “The response on the doorstep is very positive and has generated many enquiries from those who requested info packs and who want to attend a party meeting,” he said.
The meeting featured guest speaker James Whittall, who is also the West Midlands deputy organiser and Shrewsbury candidate. “Mr Whittall’s gripping speech was followed by donations totalling £430 and a string of new volunteer workers from the 50-strong audience,” Mr Woodall said.

ROLL OF SHAME
They once considered themselves ‘socialists’, but the recent list of expenses claimed by our 645 Members of Parliament exposes Labour members as the hypocrites they truly are!
1. Shahid Malik (Lab) £185,421 2. Liam Byrne (Lab, Hodge Hill) £178,116 3. Joan Ryan (Lab) £173,691 4. Dan Norris (Lab) £172,733 5. Tim Farron (Lib-Dem) £172,327 6. Frank Doran (Lab) £171,836 7.

Anti-BNP hatemonger Shahid and Hodge Hill comedian Liam topped the free-loading chart, but how did the ten other Birmingham MPs fare …

The combined expenses of Birmingham’s eleven MPs for this period was £1,605,340. Is that value for money or just being taken for a ride?
PATRIOTIC POETRY & READINGS
The footer blog of the Birmingham Patriot will contain poetry and readings that stir the patriot from within. I have decided to start with a famous one from Kipling, which as far as I can determine was written during The Great War. Well he does make exceedingly good poems! This is followed by a personal all time favourite, The St Crispins Speech from Henry V, by Black Country Boy Billy Shakespeare. Again please email me with suggestions birminghampatriot@hotmail.com
The Beginnings
IT WAS not part of their blood, It came to them very late With long arrears to make good, When the English began to hate.
They were not easily moved, They were icy-willing to wait Till every count should be proved Ere the English began to hate.
Their voices were even and low, Their eyes were level and straight There was neither sign nor show, When the English began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd, It was not taught by the State. No man spoke it aloud, When the English began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred, It will not swiftly abate, Through the chill years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the English began to hate.
Rudyard Kipling written during the period 1914-18.
Excerpt from Henry V
This day is called the Feast of Crispian: He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a-tiptoe when the day is named, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall see this day and live t'old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian": Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day." Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, But he'll remember with advantages What feats he did that day. Then shall our names, Familiar in his mouth as household words Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester, Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered. This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now abed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
William Shakespeare 1599
