  By one of those strange coincidences that is probably nothing of the sort, Scott McLean, who has held the Deputy Chairmanship responsibility as a steady rock for seven years now, called me a week before the RWB and told me that he is stepping down from the position, and from the Advisory Council. He explained that he needs to concentrate on with a very hectic business and family life without the BNP Sword of Damocles poised to fall on his head at a moments notice without any warning.   Seems the s**t stirrers got that one wrong then, it had nothing to do with Andrew Spence. I can also confirm that Richard Barnbrook had NO intension of leaving the party, whoever brought that one up was lying through his teeth.
