I realise that would not explain the broken seals; but could there not be some genuinely GOOD news in this after all? (I mean apart from the little detail of getting RB into the GLA.)

Call me Mr. Optimist; I like to think so.

Don’t think we don’t share the sentiments! This battle will only be lost if the public is denied access to the truth.
To coin a well-worn phrase: ‘You can fool some of the people all of the time, you can fool all of the people some of the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.’ - Ed.

Once you go down that road, how can you guarantee that we are able to return? Surely we can put things right by normal political means. Who says the Army stops at counting the votes? Surely you are not advocating a junta. We need to fix the rot at the heart of the political system, before it becomes well and truly institutionalised on a nationwide basis. Using the military in that way, would surely be as good as surrender to those forces which seek to corrupt us. – Ed.

Fortunately, this was not the rule, but whatever the number the fact that thousands upon thousands of votes were rejected not just in Hillingdon, but in other parts of London and of the rest of the country is extremely worrying.

I was at the count in 2004, then as party candidate for the Londonwide list, and something very similar happened.

The officers tried to put a brave face and said: 2004 was very bad and now is far better. Far better?

The system has not been improved and the fact that less votes were discarded in 2008 than in 2004 is no consolation. Only 46 per cent of those able to vote actually voted and thousands upon thousands of these had their votes rejected.

There is confusion and the voting system is either far too complex and/or there has not been enough work done to explain how it works.

I do remember asking about the present system when we visited the London Assembly building. The officers in charge were extremely reassuring: the system has been tested and it works.

Unfortunately, it worked during the test runs, but it did not work as efficiently during the actual elections.

In two years time we will be having a General Election and before that there are going to be other electoral contests. I hope the complaisant attitude of our authorities does not boycott, once again, what should be the real outcome of the election.

The BNP was there standing for the rights of voters of all political parties. We want an electoral system that is clear enough because in a democracy every vote counts.

But so many slit seals and 400,000 spoiled ballots are a combination that cannot possibly be accidental. The idea of it being accidental is not plausible at all. Even calling it implausible understates it.

It is so unbelievable that it is evidence in itself of a carefully organised, utterly unscrupulous and very bold conspiracy.

The violence of the media in denying us our democratic right to be heard fairly.

The violence of the media purveying blatant lies about us.

The violence of deliberately, malicously and criminally spoiling a perfect ballot paper voting BNP.

The violence of other London Assembly Members saying they will never work with Richard Barnbrook.

I could go on and on – the list of violence against Democracy and BNP is endless – but I think deliberately spoiling a half million ballot papers for political gain is by far the worst yet.

Democracy in Britain is a myth – anyone out there vote for that imbecile and idiot Brown? How many actually ever voted for Blair and Labour in the first place? Britain is coming apart at the seams but it will not be the fault of the BNP when the violence spills out onto the streets.

It will be the fault of a hideous, tyrannical and corrupt political cabal, who gave the British people no other choice.
