THE list of candidates vying for a seat in the London Assembly or to be the next Mayor of London has been finalised.

Details of the people hoping to be elected on May 1 were published on the News Shopper website on Saturday (March 29).

But the nominations could still be withdrawn up until midday yesterday (April 2).

Nicholas Eriksen has been withdrawn from the British National Party's (BNP) London-wide Assembly list.

This means Robert Bailey is now second on the list of London-wide BNP candidates.

A full list of candidates for both the mayor's job and the London Assembly can be found on the London Elects website.

Lets hope, for the sake of the remaining native Londoners, that the BNP win - because if they don't then by the time the next Mayoral/GLA elections come round they'll be a minority in their own city!

Ha ha ha - your BNP saddos are so funny! You're just so desperate for any attention you can get. It doesn't matter what the story is, there you are - crawling out from your holes trying to spread your nasty little views. There's been people from Lincs, Chester, all around London on this south-east London website trying hard to drum up support for the pathetic BNP, not realising all normal people can see the party for exactly what it is.

Dave - that's a pretty ridiculous view of the war you have. The war was not a race war to drive out non-white people - it was a war against a way of life, that way of life being the Nazi / facist way of life that people like you would have us living under now if you had your way. There were many nationalities fighting the war with us, people of all colours and creeds - what do you say about that?!

How brave my post has been deleted! does the truth hurt that much that once again freedom of speech is supressed? The WAr was fought to preserve freedom from dictatorship's imposing their own idealogoy over the people of a nation erm.. thats what succesive governments have succeeded to do WE were not asked if we wanted OUR nations way of life destroyed, but then again fascists come in many different guises it just so happens that britains fascists call theme selves new labour ( i prefer the simpler version "commie scum"

Dave, no doubt your post was removed for being racist. No doubt too you are a racist person if you think the war was about protecting 'white' people or if you think the British way of life means everyone has to be white. Normal people do know what the BNP is - racist, nasty bigots. If their vote is increasing, it will never be enough for them to have any influence or power in this country, thank god. This is why idiots like you resort to name-calling when you know your actual 'political' arguments, if you have any, are completely worthless.

it's all very well people accusing each other of being racist or xenophobic etc etc but as a normal working family man, an English man, and a Londoner it's very worrying to read the BNP leaflets and find yourself halfway to agreeing with some of what they are saying even though their extremes ensure that I could never vote for them ever. Our way of life has definitely been degraded by immigrant influences of that there is no doubt. There was very little drugs and gun culture when I was growing up in the centre of London - the so called respect that people talk about now was an ingrained part of our society - we queued in the order of arrival at the place we were at and gave precedence to old and infirm. We deferred to people of higher intelligence than us and allowed them to become mainstream leaders and managers in our life by way of difficult University entrance qualification and hard exams.Some did it by way of family wealth but thus was always the way of any place in the world. At school everyone spoke the same language,English, including any immigrants, and we celebrated Christian festivals because that is what this country follows. Suddenly people like Livingstone came on the scene and realised that minorities joined together by a common theme would become a majority and by voting for him would keep him in power for a long time whilst the idigenous population would become of no matter. So all the donations to obscure organisations started. Gay Black Pensioners against the Bomb or something similar got 25,000 for a pop in parlour in Ken's first go at running London So out of London we all moved leaving room for more immigrants to come in and take up the housing, low paid jobs etc - I'm sorry but I don't want my grand daughter taught by a woman in a burkha - I want old fashioned English values and education system to return - after all this is England. Oh and I want to be able to walk the streets at night without fear

And how exactly are immigrants to blame for all these woes you describe?

Yes, I would be interested to know what some 'far right' fanatic from Manchester who seems to have taken an odd interest in London elections has to say in answer to my last question.

Harry I don't have to live in London to be concerned about the rest of the country or are you one of those pathetic individuals who think that if you don't come from the South East your opinions don't count.

Having said that 'H' I am also 'grown up enough' to realise that London is the Power Hub of the Western world and what happens in these elections affects all of us in the rest of the country.
For your further information I am not some 'far right fanatic' I am just a worried citizen who is concerned what has and is happening to my country.

I have always said that the old saying "when in Rome do as the Romans" is very true. If I went to live in some other countries I would not be allowed to be openly Christian nor would I be able to drink alchohol amongst other things. However, many immigrants to England seem to think that WE must change to their ways and some of our so called "Leaders" encoourage and support that notion by bringing about changes to our culture so that being English is no longer seen as a good thing to be proud of. I am not racist I have many friends who are black, oriental etc etc and treat them no differently to my white friends butI firmly believe that it is those who wish to come to England "because it is so much better than their own country or because they can earn more here" who should alter their culture to fit in with us not the other way around. that is just common decency - if my friend who smokes heavily comes to visit me she knows that she cannot light a fag in my house because I do not like it and it is my house so what I say goes!

Actually Eyeballs, the views of someone in Manchester have absolutely no relevance to the London elections whatsoever so, no, your views don't really count. The people of London are electing a mayor for our city who will be responsible for such things as transport, emergency services and major London-wide schemes. What's it got to do with you, just like what would the Mayor of Manchester have to do with me living in London? The London election doesn't affect you in the slightest or anyone else from outside London. That's why it's so depressing the BNP bandwagon-jumping knuckle-draggers have tried to infiltrate the current electoral proceedings. As it goes, immigration is not an election issue in the slightest because neither the Londom Mayor nor London Assembly have any say on it at all - but well done on dodging my earlier question all the same. I've always thought those who moan about immigration don't have a clue as to why immigration bothers them, other than because it involves 'foreigners' and people of a different colour to white.

Well you must be an immigrant yourself Harry Brown if that is your view because the state of country due to immigrants, illegal and otherwise has played a very large part in Britain becoming the state that it is in today. Why does our Government forget about the 'real British people' who have paid their taxes and retired but no helping them out i.e. better hand outs for electricity etc. The average British person risks being cold in the Winter as they cannot afford to heat their homes and there goes our softy Government giving hand outs to people not even recognised within our society let alone ever contributed to the system. Its all madness.

Harry Brown, Belvedere says...

For someone called Sunny you have a lot of hatred towards anyone not born in this country. You're another one of those foreigner-hating people who go on about immigration putting country in a 'state' without offering the slightest bit of evidence other than the odd bit of anecdotal tosh that have probably been given to you by other like-minded people as yourself. Your whine about people not afffording their electricity bills and linking that to immigration is crazy even by the usual standards of people like you.

By the way, I am not an immigrant. British through and through. I'd be interested to know how you managed to jump to that conclusion. Is it simply because I disagreed with your narrow-minded bigoted view of the world?

What's the obsession with where people come from? Countries are just countries. Languages are just languages. People are just people. If people here have inferiority complexes and are blaming immigrants for their lives being pathetic then that's their own fault. Methinks though that people prattling on about 'immigration' is really just a smokescreen for saying I don't like anyone who isn't white.

Harry Brown, I think its GAME SET and MATCH...............
..YOU LOSE. Thankfully the day will come when the people like you will be called to face justice, and I don't mean summary justice, I mean the justice that is dealt out at courts not bound by polictical correctness and minority pandering, you and your kind will face the charge of treason and will be found guilty. Your type are the real criminals in the country not the honest hard working and long suffering indigenous people of this country.

i've just finished my day's work for which i have to set aside a considerable part of the earnings for tax and national insurance contributions as i have for the last 40 odd years so am entitled to make my comment about my worries . I am in the freight business and going back as far as the Kosova/Serbia situation have seen many, many hundreds of people coming out of the back of my firm's trailers. After the initial anger as to what was going on we became resigned to it and used to talk with them whilst waiting for the police to arrive to give them proper instructions as to how to get to Lunar House in Croydon to get their payouts etc. They all knew the words political asylum and the number of the form to fill in - i never met anybody who wasn't an economic migrant or who wasn't wearing brand name clothing - we determined that the people who were in the most need had been left behind and were not capable of hanging around Calais for weeks on end until a suitable lorry came by. My brother worked at Lunar House for a while and he used to tell some stories about attempts to bribe him for visas etc. I believe there is a court case involving a Nigerian woman in Thamesmead who also worked at Lunar House which is reported in this site somewhere today. My assertion is that immigration today is uncontrolled and destroyinbg the English culture and way of life. Until it stops most ordinary english people will be against it and some will vote BNP but as it is a democracy here(just)then that is their right.

It would be scary to think what the BNP could do if its supporters were actually out campaigning, instead of wasting all their time trolling around the NS and other websites.

Anyway, I'm off to deliver some more Boris leaflets now - ta ta!

There you go again HB making false judgements and lets face it you are not any good at it. Another silly nonse who goes in for the kill just for the sake of it! Wondered how long it would take you to bring 'colour' into this. You clearly do not watch the news - you would find your answers there!

Personally 'Arry' I am not too bothered about a persons colour I am more worried about a certain religion that seems intent on taking over the world.
Also while I am on you questioned my right to comment on the London Mayoral Election.
Well 'Arry' the Lord Mayor of London has a massive budget at his disposal (bigger than half the worlds countries I believe) A nice big chunk of this comes from Central Government who in turn raises it from the taxpayers of whom I am one.
That is why 'Arry' old son I am enitled to pass my opinion on who wins this election.

Harry, can you tell me what opticians you bought your rose tinted spectacles from? I'd like some so that my London is bright and happy and cheery like your one, I'm fed up of the one I see these days.
