MEP quits party – and it’s good news for liberals
Ah, bless. More problems for the racist and far-right BNP as the party loses an MEP:
The Yorkshire and Humber MEP Andrew Brons has announced he has resigned from the British National Party… “The current Chairman of the rump BNP has described me in a text to his attack dogs as ‘vermin’.” [ITV]
I first came across him in Harrogate in 1974 when he was National Front and people were protesting about him outside Harrogate College of Further Education, where he was a lecturer.
Me too.
He used to hang out with the Young Liberals in Harrogate in the late 60's early 70's.
Whether this is good news or not I'm not sure. You could now see the ex-BNP factions coalescing around his leadership and turning their attentions outwards rather than fighting each other.
An impressive set of memories!
