Britain’s First BNP Mayor Stirs Racial ‘Fear’

BNP inroads continue in spite of whiners.

A town just three miles from the scene of major race riots is set to become the first in the UK to have a BNP member as its mayor.

Councillors have voted overwhelmingly for John Cave to take over as civic leader of Padiham, Lancashire. But critics have warned the appointment reflects poorly on the town and argued that he cannot serve the whole community without ‘rejecting his party’s philosophy.’
