BNP – in the (bad) news yet again.

So we know exactly who we are talking about, let’s all take a look at Councillor Richard Mildenhall in all his glory. Ugly looking bloke isn’t he?

Here we go with an article from The Yorkshire Post all about soon to be ex-Councillor Dicky and his fraudulent claims for benefit between June 2003 (when he was elected as a BNP Councillor) and March 2005.

This is what the Judge said after he was convicted by a Jury in the Crown Court:

“There is an aggravating feature in that this defendant has been convicted on the clearest possible evidence of defrauding the council which he says he spent 12 years trying to get elected to and he continued to defraud the very people he had been elected to serve.

“This was a serious matter and I take a particularly serious view of a councillor cheating his own electorate. Richard Mulhall, you have been convicted by the jury on the clearest evidence of the offence of dishonesty in fraudulently obtaining benefits.”

Here is what Halifax Today Local News has to say about the case.

There are literally hundreds of links available if you Google Dicky boy – I leave you to do this if you are still gagging for ”proof”

Emma dear, I’m sure that all this must have come as an awful shock to you. However, do you think that the BNP will now carry out an internal investigation into the appalling criminal behaviour of its member, Richard Mildenhall.

Since you’re in a good mood, may I take this opportunity to bring the below listed Councillors to ”OUR” attention as well? Maybe you could put a word in the right ear and sort them out.

Retired businessman Paul Cromie, BNP councillor for the Queensbury ward in Bradford, is going for the double. He’s currently (October 2006) under investigation for vote-buying and the Standards Board are investigating a complaint against him that he brought the council into disrepute by sending out a bunch of pornographic pictures via email.

November 2006 and Mirfield BNP councillor Roger Roberts is thrown off the council for not attending a meeting for six months. Sadly, he’s still a councillor for Heckmondwike.

BNP member John Haycock was elected unopposed to a parish council in Bromyard. He was sacked from the council nine months later for non-attendance.

BNP councillor for Redditch Borough Council, David Enderby, couldn’t wait long to get into the swing of things. Just weeks after being elected, he’s been charged with three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Luke Smith (Burnley) Was forced to resign after he smashed a bottle into the face of a Leeds BNP organiser. Despite claiming to be the party of law and order, the BNP failed to call in the police and press charges. Smith had only recently been convicted of football violence when he was elected as a BNP candidate. He has had several more recent convictions and was recently sentenced to 11 months imprisonment after being caught fighting in Manchester.

Brian Turner (Burnley). Was convicted of attacking his wife and a police officer whilst a councillor yet the BNP refused to disown him. In fact they even defended him by issuing a statement saying: “we are not in the business of persecuting our members because the state considers someone guilty.”

Dan Kelley (Barking & Dagenham). Resigned from the council only eight months after being elected after admitting that he was completely out of his depth. “There’s meetings that go right over my head and there’s little point in me being there,” he told the local paper even before he resigned.

Claire Doncaster, one of the new BNP councillors for Alibon ward, was taken to court last year. Rent arrears of £2,280 have still not been paid. Finally evicted in late-August 2006, Doncaster was part of the group of new BNP councillors who became the official opposition in Barking and Dagenham on May 2006.

BTW She is now residing with her mother Sandra who is also a BNP councillor for Valence Ward. Sandra Doncaster is also being threatened with eviction from her council home for non payment of council tax.

Richard Barnbrook, the leader of the BNP group on Barking and Dagenham Council, is under investigation for allegedly supplying electoral officers with the wrong home address – that enabled him to stand for the council. The whole BNP group of eleven councillors was humiliated at its first meeting when just a single BNP councillor voted for an amendment to a paper. The amendment had been proposed by the BNP itself.

Robert Buckley, the new BNP councillor for Mayesbrook ward, appeared at Ilford County Court on May 25th after failing to pay his rent for five months. After the hearing, Mr Buckley said his attendance allowance as a councillor would help him repay his debt.

David Watkins (Sandwell). Dubbed ‘possibly the worst councillor in Sandwell,’ Watkins attended just 10 out of 63 meetings.

Steve Batkin (Stoke-on-Trent). Steve Batkin attended none of a possible thirty committee meetings in the nine months to March 2005. Batkin has only spoken twice in his first two years as a councillor and one of those was to ask what “abstain” meant. Was once told to stop talking to the media after he questioned key facts relating to the Holocaust, including saying that Jewish people refused to debate the subject because they would be exposed as liars.

Angela Clarke (Bradford). Resigned from the council less than half-way through her term after her performance was criticised by fellow BNP members. Clarke was fined £200 for resisting arrest and abusing the police during a drunken row at the back of a pub between her and another woman in May 2006.

Terry Farr (Epping). was suspended by the Standards Committee after writing abusive letters. An earlier complaint by him to the Standards Board resulted in a ruling that calling the BNP nazi was fair political comment.

Ramon Johns (Broxbourne). Was elected on the promise to campaign for free bus passes for all the elderly but then immediately voted against such a plan once elected.

James Lloyd (Sandwell). Campaigned on a ticket to make parents responsible for the crimes of their children. What he failed to tell voters was that his own son was one of the areas worst offenders.

Adrian Marsden (Calderdale). The absent councillor. In the six months to March 2006, Marsden has attended just three council meetings and his work record for his ward constituents has been even worse. However, he managed to find the time and strength to act as a bodyguard to BNP leader Nick Griffin during the recent court case in Leeds.

Actually we did a long thread on Claire Doncaster some time ago and I DID provide all the ”proof” that Emma needs so much including links to the County Court lists etc. But hey why let the facts get in the way of a good denial???

Also Richard Barnbrook was discused in detail on here including links to the Electoral Register and an assortmment of Press articles about him and his dodgy addresses.

Naturally ALL Press articles are total lies as it is a well known ‘fact’ (isn’t it Emma?) that the Press are all Fascists. Court lists have all been heavily doctored just to discredit all BNP Councillors that appear on them, as have the Police Service’s criminal records.
