Doubting Thomas

He has the same surname as my mother had before she was married, and when he first popped up on Facebook I assumed that he was a Saint Helenian. He is the most obviously mixed-race person on whom (yes, I) have ever set eyes. However, it turns out that he is:

"BNP Parliamentary Candidate for Easington Constituancy"

And that:

"Im not racist. But im getting extremely pissed off with asian people in the UK speaking in arabic in public!! Ya go to the corner shop or to the chippy and you hear other languages being spoke! I find it to be totally ignorant!!"

In response to the announcement that Rod Liddle is a Patron of my parliamentary campaign, he exclaims:

"90,000 BNP leaflets going out in your area mate! 16 activists are going to hit this area hard as well!"

90,000 is about as many votes as the BNP will receive in the entire country now that it has given up the only reason why anyone ever voted for it. That giving up, however, is good news for the "BNP Parliamentary Candidate for Easington Constituancy", described by one of my Facebook friends and campaign supporters as "definitely an octoroon. Thomas would have commanded a high price on the New Orleans block back in 1860."

  1. So how many leaflets are you printing?

    Got any leaflets out yet then?

    Interestingly, that guy has Nick Griffin and George Galloway listed in his facebook pages. An unusual combination.

  3. They are on their way, but no one will read them this long before the Election, so a leaflet drop now would be a waste of money. Only the Lib Dems are doing it already. Plus, apparently, other amateurs such as the BNP.

    The man himself appears to be an interesting combination...

  4. Erm, one problem with this rather bizarre story. The prospective BNP candidate for Easington in County Durham is a female!!

  5. Take it up with Thomas.

    And which corner shops or chippies can he have in mind, since Easington was the only area to be one hundred per cent White British at the last census?
