West Lothian BNP is going from strength to strength. The street team has reported an overwhelming show of support in every area that has been leafleted.

West Lothian BNP under the direction of local organiser Mike Coyle has organised a refuse collection service. This will be maintained as long as the weather continues to be stubborn. This service will personally remove all overflowing refuse from neighborhoods (whether on the street or in the black bins) where the refuse collection trucks still cannot get access. This service will be run by local Party volunteers and is completely free of charge.

If your neighborhood urgently needs refuse removed please contact Mike Coyle on 07815597675 or coyle409@btinternet.com. (Unfortunately this service can only be provided to West Lothian residents)

The local volunteers will also conduct personal shopping trips for the elderly, those with small children and anyone else who has become housebound due to this weather.

Finally, now that Santa has finished his shift, The leafleting team will be out and about the area every Saturday. Please stop them for a chat as they would love to hear your comments and suggestion.

Glasgow BNP took to the streets of Springburn on Saturday with an impressive 14 activists taking part. A number of these people had never been on the street before and it is to the credit of Charlie Baillie, our energetic and dynamic organiser and candidate, that these volunteers were encouraged to take part in what may prove to be an historic campaign; certainly one that will prove to be the highlight of the year in Scotland.

A stall was set up complete with BNP flag in the heart of Milton which is a large council ward within the constituency. Three teams were organised to leaflet houses in the area and one team remained to man the stall. The exceptional good weather was a godsend and morale amongst the activists was very high. This meant that the area was covered quickly and after some two hours we moved to Saracen Street in the Possil Park area. The stall was set up at a busy junction and while a number of activists remained at the stall another group went walkabout distributing leaflets and the VoF to members of the public. Charlie Baillie addressed the passers-by with the megaphone and this drew a great deal of attention to us.

Sunday was a busy day for the team as well. A number of activists leafleted in the constituency on a door to door basis. Hard graft but worth the effort.

The Truth Truck will be making an appearance any day from now on and we expect to generate considerable interest in this by-election with our high-profile activities.

If you can help us in any way please contact Glasgow campaign manager Walter Hamilton 07717774730 walterhamilton@btinternet.com

Saturday saw a day of action in West Lothian, local organiser Mike Coyle reports.

Activists started their day in Bathgate town centre where hundreds of leaflets and magazines were handed out in less than an hour. The team spent a great deal of time talking to many supporters even having a cup of tea bought for them!
Mike told the news team, “This was the first time the new group took to the streets in West Lothian and the support was overwhelming. Many people not only took our leaflets but stopped to talk and express their views and gratitude to seeing us. The only bother we had was one untidy Marxist student who thought it was ok to roar the usual profanities in front of young children. It was actually a member of public that sent him swiftly on his way”.

Following the success in Bathgate the activists moved to Livingston to leaflet outside the shopping centre where more leaflets were handed out before Mikes hunger got the better of him. After a brief fast food stop the teamcalled it a day. Mike finished by saying, “I was taken aback by the support shown and the success of our first day leafleting and that was just a small team. As the group grows I firmly believe the party could establish itself in West Lothian. One chap that came out with me even took a bundle of leaflets away with him to hand out round his home town….and he is not even a member…..yet!”

West Lothian is going from strength to strength with their next open meeting set for 22nd October. For details contact Mike 07815597675 or coyle409@btinternet.com.
