OUR Quiet Revolution was evident again last night in Hinckley in Leicestershire when BNP candidate Mike Shore came from nowhere to take second place with nearly 19% of the vote in the Hinckley Castle ward by-election.
Seen by some political pundits as a dress rehearsal for next week’s big vote, the by-election took the political temperature just seven days before everyone goes to the polls and it found that the British National Party is in great shape and possibly poised for its long-awaited breakthrough into mainstream politics.

Bronwen Witherford (Lib-Dem) 802
Mike Shore (BNP) 264
Ian Coe (Con) 226
Clark Mitchell (Lab) 116
BNP percentage: 18.8%
May 2007 (Two Seats): Lib-Dem 1093 & 1076, Con 405 & 388 Lab 133 & 131.
What was so especially pleasing about this result was that it was well above the expectations of the local BNP campaigners and that our vote came from both the Tories and the Lib-Dems, proving that we don't only take our votes from the Labour Party.
If we can weather the storm of media attacks that are being planned for next week and avoid any banana skins over these last six day, then the evening of May 1st and the morning of May 2nd could be providing some excellent news for British National Party supporters across the country.
There's no let up today in those media and establishment attacks on the Party and once again some them appear to be backfiring.
The Welsh newspapers are full of a war of words in Carmarthenshire over BNP claims in a leaflet, here (OK Bert?), while the Bishop of Blackburn has instructed people to vote for any political party but the British National Party, here.
"I'm Billy Bragg and I'm from a big house in the poshest part of West Dorset" gets acres of space for his anti-BNP 'tour' in today's Scotsman, here, while there's the usual final election week plea from 'passed their sell-by-date' celebrities not to vote for the BNP in the Jewish Chronicle, here.
Today I'm finishing my election result grids for Freedom searching out our candidates for Yorkshire and I must thank the Stop the BNP website for helping me in this time-consuming task.
Despite the lack of elections in the East Midlands and the South West and individual London boroughs, we have managed to field over 600 candidates and that is an incredible feat for a small political party like ours which has so many enemies embedded in the media and the establishment.

Morning Bert,
There are no question marks when I view the page . . . just OK Bert?
Congratulations to Mike Shore and all his team for their achievements in yesterdays local election.
Martin my own belief is that the wicked media attacks on our Party no longer have the publics attention and interest.
Church leaders should stick to their own line of work and not become involved in polotics. I attend both Anglican and Catholic mass and the churches are loosing people like water from a pipe.
We will get our rewards for all the hard work we have put in on May 1st, I can feel it in my bones !
On Firefox it appears with a question mark at the end of most lines:

I wonder what %age of the ethnic British vote the BNP will receive in the coming elections?
I've no hard facts on the matter but I wouldn't be surprised at over 30%. It's got to be getting 'bad' for the establishment because they've been reduced to cheating - and not very clever cheating at that. Everyone knows that the system of postal voting is corrupt - but then that's why it was set up that way. They need to cheat in order to secure victory.
Just consider the enormity of that! Maybe we have better support than we thought.
You only cheat when you need to.
