Form and Manner

I could not disagree more profoundly with the Northern Independence Party, but people who are mocking it for being "unable to fill in a form" have clearly never attempted to register a political party with the Electoral Commission.

Take it from me, it is quite an ordeal, designed to wear you down until you give up. Look at the lengths to which that Commission has gone in order to keep a Black Lives Matter list off the ballot paper for the London Assembly. The British electoral process has very well-kept gates. As I know of old.

And not only nationally. The Electoral Commission are amateurs compared to Durham County Council, which has still not published the Statement of Persons Nominated that was due at four o'clock, and which will presumably not now publish it until Monday, if then.

In 2019, unlike every other parliamentary candidate across six constituencies, I was not given an appointment time to submit my nomination papers and my deposit. In the end, I just had to turn up at County Hall and insist on being seen. I was simply never sent the electoral register. People outside the golden circle do not know that they are born.

  1. Black Lives Matter

    They were the only people allowed to protest in breach of COVID regulations last summer by our leftwing police. Anti lockdown protestors or those actually defending our statues on the other hand...

    1. Defending them from whom? And the people on these afternoons out could not have told you of whom those statues were. Precisely one statue came down last year, that was of a slaver, it had been highly contentious for years, the people who pulled it down are already being prosecuted under the existing law, and there is absolutely no suggestion of replacing it with another one of Edward Colston. No one has ever even attempted to pull down any other statue in this country. No one has ever even threatened to do so. And the late-middle-aged obese who have been "guarding" them did not know whom they depicted, anyway.
