Great reception for the BNP's return to Romford Market
THERE WERE cheers and a round of applause from shoppers and stallholders alike when on Saturday the British National Party returned, after a gap of nearly ten years, to sell papers at Romford market.
Local organiser Alan Bailey told the London BNP website:
"The activity was a resounding success as we sold around 50 Freedoms an hour.
"Locals and shoppers flocked to our "pitch", and their general consensus of opinion was that we were long overdue in coming, and that we must return on a regular basis.
"After several hours work in very hot conditions we retired to a local hostelry for a well-earned drink, and on leaving the pub we were treated to a another large cheer from locals who had said that they really appreciated our efforts."
The papersale was initiated by London Development Officer Richard Barnbrook who thanked those who turned up on the hottest day of the year and made the sale a success.
"This is one of many such activities that we have planned for the next 12 months. Selling Freedom is the key to promoting the British National Party and appearing for a couple of hours at local markets, where there is such a congregation of people, provides an ideal opportunity for this.
"We also took Freedom door-to-door on a local estate and sold 80 papers in a two hour stint. This made a total of 230 copies of Freedom sold in the two activities, raising over £110 for the local branch.
"I would like to thank those who gave up their Saturday to help the BNP with this activity."
