The British National Party’s candidate in the Oldham East by-election was ejected from a hustings by police as organisers abused Conservative Kashif Ali as a “fat p*ki”, Scrapbook can reveal.

The BNP had not been invited to the hustings organised by Delph Community Association, but their candidate Derek Adams still sat in one of the seats prepared for the three main parties, UKIP and the Green Party (who have a councillor in Oldham) and refused to move. Independent parish councillor Ken Hulme, wrongly described on the BNP’s website as Labour, said:

“No hustings or candidates question time in this constituency has ever had all the candidates on the platform. It is simply not practicable to hold a question time with more than five speakers and with ten candidates a choice has to be made. The BNP candidate asked for and was given tickets to be part of the audience at the event. Unfortunately the candidate and his supporters organised a ‘sit in’ protest which disrupted the start of the meeting.”

The BNP have produced the following video to support their claim that the incident was an “indictment on democracy in Britain” while conveniently neglecting to mention they were never invited in the first place.

“This was a political stunt from start to finish”, one member of Delph Traffic Group told Scrapbook. “We called the police as it was likely there was going to be a breach of the peace”. Local residents can be heard cheering in the video as Adams and his supporters were ejected from the building.

No wonder Nick Griffin chickened out of running.
