We are happy to report the return of Mike Coyle after his recent personal tragedy. Mr Coyle will be helping new Lothian’s organiser David Orr Jnr to take up the reigns in Lothian and has been appointed Sub-Regional organiser for the Central region.

We have a great deal of support in the central region based around Falkirk which is one of our target regional seats for 2011, Mr Coyle is keen to get to work organising our many members ready for this coming election and building a team ready to strongly contest the regional seat next year.

Speaking to the Scottish leader today Mr Raikes told news team, “I have been talking with Mike and have asked him to take things easy not to throw himself back in to the fray to soon, the fact he has returned shows just how committed to our cause he is and a example of true British grit he is the kind of guy you want in the trenches with you”.

I too would like to express my admiration for a true British nationalist and wish him and his family all the best for the future.

BNP Scotland are now in reach of winning a seat in Holyrood, that is if the usual suspects don’t change the voting system by 2011. This reflects the hard work that has been done over the last two years that has resulted in doubling our membership and increasing our vote to with in a whisker of saving our deposit for the first time ever in Scotland

Another five members have stood up to the mark and are in the process of being appointed Local Authority Organisers which will add Dundee, Fife, North lanarkshire, Highlands and Clackmannanshire to the ten organisers already appointed which means a leap from three groups two years ago, to fifteen now!

Issue three of our Scottish news letter ‘The Bugle’ will be going out in January to every member helping to keep all up to date with our progress and our official web site www.scotland.bnp.org.uk will spread news further a field!

It has not all been plain sailing, steering the good ship BNP never is, but we are in the best shape we ever have been and moving rapidly ahead. Our target now is 2010 when we aim to stand 23 candidates across Scotland, every group must now start raising funds and appoint candidates, some have already done so but every group has to start campaigning now, paper sales and leafleting events held by every one of our 15 groups will ensure the BNP’s message of hope starts to reach the Scottish people on a unprecedented scale!
