BNP Manchester Pounds the Streets of Blackley
Three separate teams of enthusiastic activists hit the campaign trail in the North Manchester wards of Higher Blackley and Charlestown on Saturday 17 October.
Armed with thousands of Mark Collett’s excellent brand new leaflets, the local members worked the streets for several hours and were rewarded with a gratifyingly positive reception from local residents. All the activists were fired up with justified anger at the recent systematic descrecation of Christian gravestones at the Qadria Jilanria Islamic Centre (formerly St. John’s Church) a few miles away across the city in Longsight.
Since Joseph Finnon shocked the Manchester Establishment by winning 24% of the vote when the BNP first contested Higher Blackley in May 2007, the formerly white British-Irish population of the area has started to undergo dramatic change, with a sudden influx of vast numbers of primary African immigrants. Dismayed local people tend to blame a subtle conspiracy between local housing association officers and Manchester City councillors for gerrymandering the ward to Labour’s electoral advantage.
As local activists pounded the streets, Derek Adams, the ubiquitous super-activist and North Manchester BNP organiser, toured the area at the wheel of the famous Manchester BNP “pig truck”, a skip wagon containing glass-fibre model pigs representing the greedy swine of the old Lib-Lab-Con parties.
The waves, thumbs-up and applause from local residents for the popular “pig-truck” left Derek in upbeat mood, in spite of the impending Compulsory Purchase Order confiscation of his pub, the “Ace of Diamonds”, by the vindictive Stalinist bigots at Manchester City Council.
With the day’s hard work concluded, most of the local Blackley activists made the effort to travel down to Miles Platting for well-deserved traditional refreshments at Derek Adam’s welcoming hostelry.
“I was very pleased with the excellent activist turnout, and the reception we received from the people of Higher Blackley and Charlestown. It all bodes well for our prospects in next year’s elections”, said a delighted Derek.
