From-Stop the BNP:rolleyes:  http://www.stopthebnp.org.uk/index.p...n=news&amp;art=379    THE British National Party is to field election candidates in New Addington for the first time. :clink      And the news has sparked fears that it could inflame racial tensions on the estate   Racial tensions are caused by multi-racial societies in general, it has nothing to do with the BNP     Police are set to keep a high profile watching brief on the council election campaign after accusations that BNP canvassers were already intimidating voters and fellow candidates.   We will get to these intimidating allegation in a minute.     Clifford Le May and Matthew Bedford are standing in New Addington and Fieldway respectively.   It will be the first time that the BNP has ever fought seats in Croydon Council elections   :clink      It is understood that council officials are particularly concerned there should be no problems on polling day itself, on May 4, and that they have told police they want to ensure no one is intimidated or put off voting   They really do belive there own crap don't they? What do they think we are going to do? storm the polling stations!!     But the BNP's national press officer, Dr Phil Edwards, said on Wednesday there was no question of party members intimidating anybody.   Exactly     However, reports are already reaching the Advertiser that BNP supporters have been out in force in Homestead Way and Salcot Crescent over the past two weekends   out in force=LEGAL CANVASSING     Cllr Brenda Kirby, one of Labour's candidates in New Addington, said: I am not the kind of person who is intimidated easily.   But they were spread across Homestead Way and I did find their presence intimidating. I decided to give up canvassing   Thats your own stupid fault, they did NOTHING wrong.     I was very concerned and wondered how I would feel if I was black and walking down the road at that time.   maybe you would feel the need to pick up your benefits?     The surprising thing was that they were not kids with crew cuts and tattoos, they were adult men   You mean we don't fit the stereo-type image people like YOU portray of us.     Cllr Kirby said that during her term as mayor last year she had discovered what a fantastic, multi-cultural place Croydon is.   :explode =cllr Kirby     She added: I find it unacceptable that some people are trying to change that in the area in which I live and create tensions where there haven't been any before.   who gives a **** what you think?     Council leader Cllr Tony Newman said he did not want to give the BNP the oxygen of publicity   We create our own publicity.     He said he hoped that political debate during the election campaign would centre on the mainstream parties and work being carried out within the communities   You can certainly hope that, it's not going to happen tht way though.
