"publishing material on his council web page that was both party political in nature and also 'hateful and abusive' towards ethnic minorities in the local authority area."
About time too, i'm glad the BNP is full of nasty little idiots or we would actually have a serious problem on our hands.

ONLY 3 months???We have talked about the dangers of stiffling free speech but this was a clear abuse of a publicly funded resourse that councillors are made VERY clear on the parimeters.
Having the time to look at other sites I am surprised at how many break the rules as far as political party content. And as for lies -not differing opinions - well my hat is truely off!
P.S.I still like your personal site Bob but whats that musical bit?-pfft really annoying!

Margaret, it is bloody annoying isn't it. It is part of that bloody penguin game from last week, so it will be gone soon.
Have you noticed how ugly fascists are?
No, I don't mean politically. I mean physically. I know that this may be wandering off the point somewhat but I've just seen a picture of Simon Smith aka Steven Freedom and I was struck by the impression that he looked like a pig's bum.
As they say, 'I'm no oil painting' but I saw him and thought, is he a Nazi because he is so ugly that even a blind, drunken, nymphomaniac wouldn't touch him with a barge pole and consequently he is so angry with God he decided to hate the whole of humanity in a pathetic attempt to get his own back.
Or is it because all the mindless hatred he has within himself seeps out in a grotesque, physically manifestation?
Now you may think this is wandering into a nasty personal attack but stay with me please.
To support my view, and putting questions of sexuality aside for a moment, look at Hitler, Mussolini, Goering and Franco. If you were out on the town and saw any of them propping up the bar of your local would you go over and chat them up?
I think I know the answer.
Of course Simon's real ugliness comes in his thoughts and actions but honestly, it worries me sometimes that because I'm white and non-jewish, he doesn't automatically hate me.
I think I've a right to be hated by such people.
I believe in democracy, free speech and that people, regardless of creed and colour, has the right to live in peace and be treated with respect.
It may seem a little thing but the knowledge that I am hated by Simon would give a warm glow on those days when things are not going right, a ray of sunshine in the storm.
Because I'm white and non-jewish Simon and his mates are discriminating against me because they don't automatically hate me .
And automatic is the point here, I don't think I should wait while they 'work up' to it!
When he does I think I will get myself a badge or t-shirt with the slogan 'Hated by an ugly bigot and proud.'
Something to look forward to.
We all live in Sandwell, this is a deprived borough that has large numbers of elder people, mental health difficulties and poor health choice for minority groups.
It is time that we get baffoons like this idiot off the council and start spending tax payers money on real issues. The BNP and supremacy has no place in Sandwell and any common educated decent human being with compassion and concern for real issues would see that,
