He has no point, certainly nothing valid or legible. Just like he hasn't had any valid or legible point to make under any of his other various names, haddah, nosher, shadow etc. Another fantastic article which again exposes the web of lies and hypocrisy surrounding the BNP. If I was the owner of one of these local businesses being despicably targeted I would actually be glad that none of the Barmy Nutjob Pariahs were going to be darkening my door anymore. Some people's money is better than others.

Perhaps the two companies that declined to comment refused to do so because the messages from BNP supporters were not very 'polite'?

Well said!! Surley it must be somewhat illegal to ring someone and give no valid reason to not use their services although im sure ASBOS would be all they can do which wouldn't really bother this lot as they prob have more than one already!! Now we should or sit tight and wait for the onslaught from the rest of imbecile’s or as sayso suggests give them a chance to change their names ha

We post because we are local and read our newspaper for news of the area we care about. We have no need to go searching the internet to cause trouble.

well said surrey borders! of course posting mutiple anti bnp posts gives the impression there are lots of disgruntled new shopper anti bnp'ers all at their computers at the same time, bit like one of those old "only fools and horses' clips where del boy is trying to flog all his old junk in the market to a gathering eager crowd all whipped up by del's to good to be true knockdown prices, and then del's "stooges" at a given signal all rush forward to purchase the dodgy goods hoping to persuade some shoppers in the crowd to also part with their cash! 2/10 for trying,but like all old comedy shows, it's dated! and fools no one in the real! plonker!

Ahh, cockles & mussels - we haven't seen that pseudonym for a few days. If I may direct members of the jury to exhibit a) The writing style of Shadow 99 and b) The writing style of cockles & mussels. Notice the lack of capital letters and the distinct lack of full stops? I put it to you, members of the jury, that they are, in fact, the same person! Ok, it's hardly CSI New York, but you get the idea. Nice post though Shadowcockles99, a real thought provoker.....yawn... ..

The News Shopper is no different to other media in this country

"They will not let the truth get in the way off a good story"

In this country, we can't trust politician or the media, you are all getting your knickers in a twist about a councillor in Swanley (Who was at least voted in by the local people) at least they know who there councillor is, I live in Abbey Wood and I've not meet or even seen seen my local MP or Councillor but I've seen community decline over the years.

Taking in consideration where most off you lot seem to come from, he's not even your local Councillor but you all got opinions on him.

The one right we still got, is who we vote for but I think some off you lots object to people even having that right - people want to vote for the BNP that there right and I've for one would not take that way.

I voted for the conservative party and will do in the next election but who ever gets in will not be able turn this country around, we all going to pay a heavy price.

It's come to our attention that there has been some suspicious activity among the comment posters on this thread and the other thread on our previous BNP story. It appears a small group of BNP supporters, possibly just one person, has hijacked the threads by registering to post comments on this site using multiple aliases. They have then been agreeing with everything their various personalities have written, or attempting to disrupt the discussion between people who actually have something genuine to say. This person, or people, has been registering multiple accounts using email addresses provided by a dubious service which generates random email addresses that expire after 10 minutes. We are looking into this but in the meantime I would urge people to show caution when reading SOME of the comments being posted. I can also confirm sayso, Erastus, Local lady and several others who have been accused of being the same person are in fact different people.

I've just realised - Orp Boy is none other than Shadow 99! If you recall, Shadow had a wonderful knack of not using capital letters and this was, of course, politely pointed out to him. In an effort to distance himself from this childish error, Shadow has created yet another character and this time, he's using capitals. Ha ha - a cunning plan I hear you cry! Unfortunately, he's using them after comma's, so it's still wrong. Come on Shadow/Orp Boy - it really isn't difficult. Now spell C-A-T

As its been pointed out my name Orp Boy isnt the best name, so do you think if I created this account today i would have used this name, anyway im sure your good friend Mr Bull can confirm this account was not created today. Love how you lot all comment on my grammer but not each others when they do someting wrong.

Hello Orp Boy. I don't want to get into it too much with you over your support for the BNP although I would suggest its idea of 'change' is totally unpalatable to the vast majority of people. One slight point I would take issue with though is your reference to News Shopper as a small local paper. We're far from small. News Shopper covers a large area of south London and north Kent and is read by hundreds of thousands of people each week, in addition to our website getting more than 40,000 visitors every week. You can under-estimate us if you want but I'm sure there are many people following our coverage and watching every calamitous BNP move with interest.

Fair enough MrTom - but you have to remember that we've had weeks of abuse from BNP supporters and it's understandable that we're getting somewhat irked by people trying to make comments who we believe to have multiple aliases. But in the case of Orp Boy, his last couple of comments make me think he's one of the few trying to get his point across reasonably well, so I'm happy to give him a break. For the time being at least ;o)

I personally feel that it is excellent that Simon Bull has taken the time to comment on this story, it's great to hear from a representative of the paper. I like Bexleyman's suggestion of the author of an article joining in the debate and defending his/her article - so come on David Mills, show us what you're made of! As for the BNP supporters describing the News Shopper as 'a small local paper', I think that they're just miffed that the News Shopper dares to question their actions (or lack of in Councillor Golding's case). Unlike another newspaper in the area (which is a small newspaper in every sense of the word), the News Shopper is a decent community newspaper that has morals and doesn't accept the BNP's tainted money for advertising. Still, I'm sure that the BNP's adverts sit nicely among the sordid sex ads in that downmarket rag!

Arhh Erastus I see it comes down to name calling when you dont have a lot to say. You may think that everyone on here loves reading what you say and your highly regarded poster, dont become to disillusioned as the fall will harder to take. "Pull the wool over your eyes" not sure what you mean Do you think i tried to integrate with people to make them like me, I answered every question how i would had anyone asked me, I work with many people like yourself , When they dont know what to add to the converstaion they try to belittle every one else by throwing a few insults about. Please Please dont think your worth any more than me or your values are worth any more becuase of who you vote.

You now feel what ever you type you have the backing of every poster on here. Im not that insecure i need/want everyone to agree with me.
Congratulations on your grammer.

Dartbored your post I think shows the main issues that people do vote BNP, maybe other partys that dont want BNP to get votes should also look at these issues, As said before i dont agree with all the BNP policies and i dont think most people that vote for a party do agree with 100% of their policies, but maybe the other partys should look at why people do. Without assuming they are all just yobs who dont know what their talking about

Hmmmm...I abhor the BNP but I remember a time when the News Shopper actively encouraged a certain poster to call advertisers' existing and potential customers 'scum'. Also, the companies mentioned in the article are not the only local businesses providing those services, so the claim that to boycott them would 'take money from the local economy' is just hyperbole.
