This is simply because they have a letter from Michele Marshall stating her intention to resign ((when she resigned is irrelevant) and it is a default position with the commission that in the absence of another person to be treasurer, the Party leader automatically fills that role. That is all they have done.
I remain as registered Nominating Officer and Peter requires my consent to step down as he has no other registered officer other than himself to sign the paperwork.
As for the position of party leader and other officers, they state that they will not accept our applications of Gary Marshall as Leader or John Savage as Treasurer simply because the current Leader has to sign as well, and Peter Mullins withholding of consent to sign does not constitute an inability to sign. They go on to state that they do not intervene in internal party disputes and we should take further legal action if required.
You will note that they have not stated that Peter was right in what he did or that we were wrong in what we did. Clearly the membership have showed to Peter that he is not wanted as Leader and his withholding of consent goes against their wishes.
Gary and I feel further legal action is pointless as all we will inherit is a discredited party and the next step is to form a new party as already discussed. Plans are already well under way and we intend to offer all current British Freedom members free membership until the expiry of your Freedom membership. All you need do is return your British Freedom membership card with your name and address to: The Treasurer, 16 Walsingham Place, Truro, Cornwall TR1 2RP. Your membership of the new party will then expire when your Freedom membership would have done.
Many members have expressed their support and others who were not members of British Freedom have also said they will join now they know that the likes of extremists Simon Bennett and Lee Barnes will not be involved.
So what will this new party be like. Well Gary Marshall will be its elected leader and John Savage it’s elected Treasurer that we can be sure of. It will occupy the centre-right ground of British politics offering moderate nationalist and patriotic polices. It will be one with complete financial transparency, where all officers and members behave and act in the manner expected of a serious political party and everyone treats everyone else with respect.
What is for certain that this new party will start life with two councillors compared to British Freedom's none and we have two candidates standing in May's local elections with a good chance of being elected.
You can keep updated on events at our own web site which for now is labelled www.british-freedom.org .
As for the name of this new party? We haven’t quite decided yet as being democratic and fair we are allowing all founder members to have a say and choose. We should know by the week-end. What I can say is that of the names on offer they are all different from what you may be expecting. They are dynamic and inspiring.
Finally on behalf of Gary Marshall and his team I would like to thank you all for the support and encouragement you have shown all of us during this difficult and stressful time. It is now time to move forward and we hope you will join us.
We are all waiting for you to come to your senses and apply to rejoin the BNP. On the other hand not very much sense was shown by accepting Barnees and Bennett in the first place.
ReplyDeleteIt is too bad that you do not understand the dynamics of small parties long enough to have stayed the course in the BNP while Nick, Adam Pat and Clive gradually sorted all the trouble.
You keep publishing the lie that the BNP is shrinking when the PARTY IS GROWING AND THE CONTACT NUMBERS PAGE IS EXPANDING EVERY MONTH
Now I think that pride is keeping you from admitting your mistake at haveing followed the mad Pied pipers Butler Barnes and Bennett.
Pride goeth before a fall.
As somebody interested Michael when will we know the name of the New Party.??
ReplyDeleteI will never rejoin the BNP. Hope that is clear enough. New party name,soon.
ReplyDeleteREF COMMENT 1 APRIL 10:56:What a laugh!The BNP are close to meltdown.They are on the verge of bankruptcy all the best people have either been expelled or have deserted it.The BNP is run by a dictator and the only people left in it are brainwashed sycophants that think Der Fuhrer Griffo can do no wrong.It is a brand that is so tainted with holocaust deniers and obsessional race theory that the electorate won't touch it with a barge pole.The BNP will never get anywhere and you are seriously deluded if you believe people will vote on mass for it.
