Nick Griffin, MEP for the North West, urged voters to think about the recent riots in London and other cities across the country. “The pictures broadcast around the world of rows of police officers standing and watching the looting, violence and destruction, without taking any action, is all the evidence the British Public needs to elect a new breed of police commissioners and the British National Party candidates in these elections will offer voters a very desirable alternative to today’s Politically Correct ´ PCs ´.”
Paul Richards, an adviser to the last Labour government on ‘community relations’ has expressed fear that the British National Party might get their candidate elected to the newly-created police commissioner job in Sussex. This has highlighted the fact that Police Commissioner elections are set to become a significant feature in the British electoral cycle.
Mr Richards, who is standing himself, issued a press statement in which he said: “the British National Party might sneak in through the back door”.
He highlighted the call from British National Party media spokesman Simon Darby to stand candidates, and the recent upsurge of British National Party activities in Sussex.
British National Party leader Nick Griffin MEP has also commented on the potential for party candidates standing on a strong law and order ticket: “We are being urged to fight these elections. People are telling us that they want strong police commissioners who will protect citizens and make life hell for anti-social elements. If elected we will ensure that those who don’t reform and mend their ways are firmly dealt with. It is time that the victims of crime are given greater consideration than the criminals. One group of people need to be frightened in British society, and British National Party police commissioners will make sure that it’s the criminals who live in fear, not their innocent victims
“The British National Party is confident that electors will appreciate the opportunity to exercise their democratic choice and to make their selection according to the programmes put forward by the various candidates. This is a great opportunity for members of the public to be able to express their views on policing and if they are unhappy to register the most effective protest possible.”
