SWANLEY: Residents say BNP councillor has 'done nothing' for the area

Residents in the St Mary's area of Swanley say Councillor Paul Golding has done nothing since being elected in February Residents in the St Mary's area of Swanley say Councillor Paul Golding has done nothing since being elected in February

A BNP councillor has done nothing for his ward since being elected, residents and councillors say.

Paul Golding was voted in as councillor for the Swanley St Mary’s ward of Sevenoaks District Council in February after being the first ever British National Party member to stand in the area.

At the time the 27-year-old said his success was down to a “professional and pro-active campaign knocking on every door in Swanley” and the promise of “change for the area”.

He said: “Native British people are sick of being treated like second-class citizens in their own country.

“They are bottom of the list for council houses after asylum seekers and foreigners.

“I will do my best to sort out the problems.”

BNP Councillor Paul Golding claimed Helen Forster had never been a member of his party, but she was registered as a member and activist under the name Helen Colclough

However, a council spokesman said Cllr Golding has not joined any council committees, which make decisions on key issues in Swanley.

And residents of the St Mary’s ward say he has not been in touch with them since the election or championed their concerns to the council.

John Dudley, of St Mary’s Road, said: “The only time I saw him was when he was canvassing - they really put the pressure on and were here every day.

“But since then we have not heard anything from him.”

The 73-year-old added: “He should be doing more to represent the ward and find out what the people want.”

Cherry Avenue resident Ronald Gasson, 76, agreed, saying: “In my opinion he only showed interest in us to get votes and doesn’t care about us now he’s been elected.”

Cherry Avenue resident Ronald Gasson says Cllr Golding "doesn't care" about residents' concerns

Labour councillor for the Swanley St Mary’s ward John Underwood says he has seen no evidence of Cllr Golding being active in the area.

He said: “He is not on any committees, doesn’t say anything at full council meetings and constituents have told me he is hard to reach, so I don’t see how he can be making a difference.”

Conservative councillor for the Swanley Christchurch and Swanley Village ward Robert Brookbank said he has only seen Cllr Golding at full council meetings.

He said: “I’m not sure he has done anything.”

Cherry Avenue resident Joan White says she fears people outside of Swanley St Mary’s associate its residents with the BNP and the allegations of racism against the party.

The 82-year-old said: “I worry they associate us with the BNP and therefore being racist.”

Cllr Golding was unavailable to respond to the residents’ or councillors’ allegations.

In July News Shopper revealed a Gravesend woman convicted of intimidating an Asian mother was a member of the BNP, after Cllr Golding made a video stating she was not.

Helen Forster, aged 32, of Park Place, denied being a member in the video posted on YouTube and the BNP website, but she was registered under a different surname - Colclough.

Cllr Golding says he was unaware Forster was a member of the party under a different name at the time of making the video.

Just printing a well prepared press release from Labour Councillor John Underwood and adding Robert Brookbanks name is going to fool no-one. With no investigation from yourself into the matter I will be writing to you under the freedom of information act 2000

Designating private organisations as public authorities

If an organisation doesn't meet the conditions for inclusion in Schedule 1, section 5 of the FOI Act gives the Secretary of State a power to designate private organisations as public authorities if either:

* they appear to him to be performing functions of a public nature; or
* they are carrying out functions under contract with a public authority which would otherwise be up to the authority to provide.

The members of the general public noted will also be contacted to find out exactly where this smear has emerged from.

demontfort, what are you banging on about? A smear, what smear? I would have thought it's plainly obvious where this article has emerged from if you read it properly. It's come from the newspaper talking to people in the area this councillor is supposed to be serving. With you being from Bethnal Green what has this story could to do with you in the slightest anyway?! Or are you just on here in the usual BNP style to stir in trouble with a pathetic defence of a pathetic party?

Funny, there's thousands of lib-lab-con-green councillors up and down the country who also do nothing when they get elected and blame central government for preventing them from doing things locally!

People moan about new people coming in and getting council houses before the locals or job losses ,or crime , yet all these things are beyond what any single councillor could do - blame the main parties for uncontrolled immigration, crime and the causes of crime?? and blame the main parties for objecting to the Bnp whenever they try to join any of the local council committies

Perhaps when they get a few more elected councillors they'll be able to achieve a bit more - either way it sounds like a smear story to me by a few disgruntled people who thought cllr Golding could wave a magic wand and put right the decades of wrong doing by the established parties !!! Lol

The residents of Swanley voted for this candiate, The BNP are racist and I cant belive that you voted for this man, you should be ashamed of yourselves. All those people who died in the 2nd world war to stop fascists ruling. SHAME on you and I cant say I feel sorry for you either. This sums up swanley full of racists and scum. A dreadful place, as is most of north Kent/ SE London, full of scum thieves and yobs. I hate the place.

I've waited 3 months for a reply from my labour councillor over a local issue who promised, "I'll get back to you" ... yet, absolutely nothing ! this story is a storm in a tea cup, and when labour councillors do nothing it does not get even mentioned !

A typical Labour/media smear story. The usual bilge when a BNP candidate gets elected and starts to chip away at traditional Labour support.

Firstly, I put my mobile number out 8 times now on leaflets in the whole of the ward and appealed for people to ring if they need assistance. I have helped many people since February included a disabled lady who was ignored by that cretin John Underwood. Hardly 'unavailable' is it!

All they have done is rolled out several Labour supporters to chat nonsense, all topped off nicely with a quote from John Underwood. Hardly a 'story'. Ask residents in Swanley, they will all tell you it is the Labour lot who are derided as the 'invisible councillors'. I am immensely popular in Swanley, Labour are universally unpopular, and rightly so.

I have a 100% attendence record at council, UNLIKE Labour.

I regularly drive around the ward reporting rubbish and getting it cleared, UNLIKE Labour.

The bit that makes me chuckle is the part where I was 'unavailable' for comment. Despite my number being lodged with the council and all local media outlets, I wasn't approached at any time for a quote. Typical pro-Labour gutter journalism at its worst.

Shame on you. Let's see if you print this comment......

Tony Blair LIED that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and took us into a war where thousands of innocent men women and children were killed for oil????? fascist????? millions of people objected to the war but he and the tories (who wanted us to invade Iraq even quicker than labour) ignored our protests and did nothing about our telephone calls and street protests????? shall we start name calling the labour and conservative party and call them scum?????? most sensible thinking realise that the bnp are here to stay and these stories do not put anyone off from voting for them

I never voted BNP (before anyone assumes that I did) but would like to point out that every councillor/ politician in the St Mary's ward is tarred with the same brush.
Not one of them knocked on my door during the campaign. I even told a Labour eprson this - he noted my address and still nothing!
Also, I am sick to death of the tatty Sentinal brochure from the Labour party that drops through my letter box - it is not a community news letter but an ongoing smear campaign against the Conservative party. If these two parties had stopped acting like school boys and fighting in the playground they would have overcome the BNP in the election with ease. Let's hope they have learned their lesson.

I rang their contact number for Labour during the campaign as I had a complaint about the abysmal way that Adult Education were treating the creative writing tutor and students in Dartford and Gravesend centres (many students live in Swanley)- they never rang back -
they were too busy poking the other parties with a stick!

Comment from Richard Firth, News Shopper editor:

Cllr Golding is not telling the truth when he says he was not approached for a quote. Our reporter rang him SIX times between last Wednesday and Friday and left a message requesting he return our calls. He didn’t bother. It’s obviously his choice whether or not he responds to our requests for a quote but, apparently unlike him, my reporters are able to do their job properly.

Goodness, that is not the language I would expect from a councillor!

I like to think that I have an open mind and am prepared to listen to any person's point of view - hence my previous post where I mentioned the labour party not getting back to me - it is pure bad manners.
Mr Golding you must be polite or you will not win votes regardless of you wearing nice smart suits.
Words like 'cretin' are not pleasant and only makes you stoop to the level of the type of people we do not want living in Swanley.

Regardless of some silly posts above the majority of people in Swanley are polite, hard working people who own their own homes - we didn't get this way by using words like 'cretin'

An apology perhaps?

Also, there is no shame in saying to this publication that you didn't have time to ring them back is there? You must have had good reason to miss so many calls?

This publication has been good to my writing school and we have profited by their articles and photgraphs in recent issues. Richard Firth, in the past, has spoken and given advice to my students so this is a newspaper to treasure. You would do well to keep the local press onside.

If you would like lessons in how to write polite letters and articles I can fit you into my writing school classes. We do not judge by race, creed or political alliances.

I have just left London after 40 years. I just wanted to say, I doubt if the complainers are genuine because that age group know from the War effort, that nothing much can be done on your own. Even if the Council has a BNP majority, and even if Parliament does, it is still going to be difficult to undo the terrible damage done by years and years of anti-British governments. After all, the only real power rests with the EU - and not the EU Parliament, the EU Commission. It is as Mary the mother of God tells King Alfred in The Ballad of the White Horse - "I tell you naught for your comfort, Naught for your desire, Save that the skies grow darker yet, And the seas grow higher." Alfred battles on, but although he wins the physical fight against the Danes in the end, he knows that a worse fight involving paper and books is yet to come. We expect too much too fast - but that is what the ringmasters have trained us to do, it suits them fine. Only they can deliver that fast, but at what cost?

Clear the graffitti from the walls near the footpath behind St Mary's Church it is an eyesore and not very nice to look at when burying loved ones. A few strong men and a can of paint could work wonders in half a day.

Also pick up the rubbish and tidy the pathway - not just report it. Some of the local councillors did this just before the judging of Town in Bloom each year but at no other time. The other week it was dangerous to walk through there with so many nettles overhanging the path.

Do something about the youths that hang around the town square - it is intimidating for older people. Also encourage them to pick up their litter and not to spit on the pavements.

What about the shops in Swanley? So many are closing down - why is that? We hear that rents are too high for shopkeepers. We've lost the wool shop amongst others and we need some sort of input to regenerate the town.
A shop for a load of layabouts to hang around is not the way to go - again it is intimidating.

How about checking why so many adult ed classes have closed down they are now almost obsolete in the town?

Why are room hire charges so costly with Swanley Town Council that local people wanting to run an event have to go elsewhere?

Buses - we need more!

Is that enough to be going on with?

Writing a letter is not enough - we need someone who is prepared to roll up their sleeves and make themselves heard - perhaps be seen to get their hands dirty with their fellow party members. I'm sure that the newsshopper would gladly report any successes our councillor can achieve, after all Labour and Conservatives councillors have all but failed the area so here is a chance for the BNP to shine.

There's your challenge if you choose to accept it!

Do you actually think St.Mary's ward in Swanley is the only area in the Uk that has graffiti on a wall, rubbish on a pathway, a few nettles overhanging on a pathway, youths hanging around on street corners (every generation has had that !) a wool shop that closed, blah, blah, blah ???

Whatever stopped you clipping a few nettles or organising a community spirited group to remove graffiti ? most councils if approached will provide the materials for free to community groups offering to help removing graffiti.

Grumbling about what faults you have found in your area and then expecting one new councillor to sort out the problems is ridiculous.. whole areas of the country have graffiti, rubbish, teenagers hanging around, unemployment, crime, high rents for business premises etc. The government not local councils are to be blamed for many of societies problems which we see across the country, and if other areas where the bnp do not have a councillor elected have identical problems under labour and conservative councillors what is the difference ?
Another point, you yourself could stand as an independant councillor and offer to put right the things you are so ready to complain about in your area if you so wanted - there is nothing stopping you unless you feel you are not up to it.

I see. Someone asks for locals to make lists and then you pop in from outside the area to ridicule what we write.
This is just a way to turn the discussion into a slanging match so that the councillor concerned can duck out of answering.
For your information I do run groups for local people - but we have to do it in Dartford as the fees for halls and rooms in Swanley is too expensive. We travel by bus to get there - good for the environment but not us due to bad service.
To get to the bus stop we've been stung by nettles - when do we get time between paying our council tax and earning a living to do this gardening you suggest?
The wool shop also sold other essential items that locals now need to travel outside the area for - taking much needed economy away from the town as people will start to shop elsewhere.
Then travelling back into Swanley we have to pass these yobs that hang around and our safety is jeopardised.

Yes, I have considered standing in local elections and when I am semi retired and able to devote the time I will do so thank you.

Now, will our councillor - and others reply?

let's examine your list of complaints

1) Local shops closing down because of high rents ? what can a single councillor do against this ? please explain


2) Yobs hanging around ? yob defined as : 'an aggressive and surly youth' are they aggresive ? or are they just teenagers meeting their friends and generally a bit loud ? Have you tried speaking to them and being friendly ? You could possibly explain to them about taking part in community/Christian church groups where young people take pride in helping others ? Do you have teenage sons and daughters ? would you like them to be classed as a 'yob' just because they are meeting their friends


3) Overhanging nettles.
Dearie me, the council cannot be everywhere cutting back nettles and in anycase the autumn will soon do it's job in that department! lol . You could have trotted of to the offending nettle and gave it a trimming if you had not spent so much time finding fault


4) You have not understood the conceipt that big shopping giants have ruined many local shopkeepers by being allowed planning permission by various councils in England and Wales ,even small villages are suffering whilst the main parties do nothing in central office to support rural communities and shopkeepers , so this is not something new , you need to find out more before


5) The easy thing is to criticise our councils and elected councillors for the unseen hard work they carry out which many members of the public do not know about ,and complaining for the sake of it when St.Mary is no different from many other wards in Kent .Kentish men and women have a tradition of rolling up their sleeves and just getting on with it, i suggest you do just that .Cheers!

Most of the comments on here seem to be from BNP supporters from outside the area who have nothing to do with Swanley or this particular councillor. They seem to be trying to create a smokescreen, trying to distract people with talk of what's wrong with Swanley to steer the discussion away from criticism of Paul Golding.
The BNP supporters have unsurprisingly completely missed the main point of the story. It's not about whether Paul Golding should launch a one-man crusade to improve the area, it's about what he's done since being elected as a councillor. As the article makes very clear to anyone who reads it properly, Paul Golding has not got involved in any council business since being elected, not joined any committees or done anything as the 'middle man' in taking residents' concerns to the council.
It begs the very obvious question of why he wanted to get elected in the first place if he's not bothering to fulfil any of his councillor duties. One wonders if it was merely a publicity stunt to get a BNP councillor elected in an easy target of a ward, and he wasn't actually interested in being a councillor afterwards.
One final question. I heard a rumour circulating in the area that Paul Golding was arrested the other week after he got into a fight. Does anyone know if this is true?

Sayso, let's look at the two residents named, and read again what they complain of.



"And residents of the St Mary’s ward say he has not been in touch with them since the election or championed their concerns to the council.

John Dudley, of St Mary’s Road, said: “The only time I saw him was when he was canvassing - they really put the pressure on and were here every day.

“But since then we have not heard anything from him.”

The 73-year-old added: “He should be doing more to represent the ward and find out what the people want.”

Cherry Avenue resident Ronald Gasson, 76, agreed, saying: “In my opinion he only showed interest in us to get votes and doesn’t care about us now he’s been elected.”


What exactly do the people want done ? The newspaper has not said what the local people want carried out apart from some nettles trimmed back and graffiti removed

Both these residents are in their 70s and they must have noticed in many years gone by that in ALL local elections General elections and European elections that is the ONLY time you see these people of ALL political parties, they are ALL all the same, it's nothing new my friend


The other thing well worth cosidering is this : if Councillor Golding applied to join any of the council committees are you seriously saying that there would not be an outcry from labour liberal democrats or conservatives sitting councillors ? because that is the norm,, on the one hand they accuse people of not doing anything once elected and on the other hand they oppose them once elected at every twist and turn, sending them to coventry so to speak ? are you suggesting that even if they were elected to any of these committees they could wave a magic wand and change things for the residents that the previous elected council members could not do by themselves ?


At least give the man a chance , and in anycase councillors have surgeries for residents to turn up and voice their complaints why have they not done this ? .Cheers

That is rather a silly comment isn't it? For your information many people in Swanley are fed up with council tax maney being wated on promoting Swanley in Bloom with hanging baskets and expensive floral decorations when roads and pathways away from the limelight are left to grow waste high in weeds.

Why would someone from Potters Bar be interested in this news item unless it was to cause mischief?

I notice our councillor has not replied perhaps he's busy cruising the streets of Swanley in his car again.

I have helped many people since February included a disabled lady who was ignored by that cretin John Underwood. Hardly 'unavailable' is it! All they have done is rolled out several Labour supporters to chat nonsense, all topped off nicely with a quote from John Underwood. Hardly a 'story'. Ask residents in Swanley, they will all tell you it is the Labour lot who are derided as the 'invisible councillors'. I am immensely popular in Swanley, Labour are universally unpopular, and rightly so. I have a 100% attendence record at council, UNLIKE Labour. I regularly drive around the ward reporting rubbish and getting it cleared, UNLIKE Labour. The bit that makes me chuckle is the part where I was 'unavailable' for comment. Despite my number being lodged with the council and all local media outlets, I wasn't approached at any time for a quote. Typical pro-Labour gutter journalism at its worst. Shame on you. Let's see if you print this comment......
Comment from Richard Firth, News Shopper editor: Cllr Golding is not telling the truth when he says he was not approached for a quote. Our reporter rang him SIX times between last Wednesday and Friday and left a message requesting he return our calls. He didn’t bother. It’s obviously his choice whether or not he responds to our requests for a quote but, apparently unlike him, my reporters are able to do their job properly.
This message is in respose to Richard Firth's comments about his reporter leaving six messages for Cllr Golding:

Maybe, just maybe he didn't return the calls because he doesn't see the value in speaking to the press. The press always edits a spoken or written statement until it becomes unrecognisable to the way it was originally presented.

He has a 100% attendence record, so you couldn't slam him on that count. Out of desperation, you contacted a bunch of Labour voters/activists for their opinions. All in all this was a very one sided story.

Someone else on this comments board mentioned that if you want Cllr. Golding to do something for you, you should visit him during his surgery hours. A simple solution!

No wonder the newspapers are either closing down or being bought by Russian spies.

Ooooh Mr Purton what a storm you've whipped up!

"Typical pro-Labour gutter journalism at its worst" - how will you ever live your life now that you've been branded a commie by a member of the BNP?!!!

For info, I suspect the reason that Mr Golding didn't want to make a quote is that "Uggg, deport them all, they're taking all our jobs blah blah blah" doesn't exactly make good copy!

When you say "you've been branded a commie, deport the lot of them". Are you suggesting we deport all commies? That sounds like a great idea!

Only problem is, where do we send commies to these days? China and Russia are no longer Communist. Is there an island off of the coast of Cuba that is currently accepting unemployed journalists?

Interesting comments, and I think outsiders are entitled to have a say since as Terence Williams ably points out, local issues are the same nationwide, only the detail differs. As TW also ably points out, the smaller details could be done by us, the public, without waiting for the Council to heave itself into action. But the "yob" issue is a result of the whole nation being sold into slavery to multinationals by ALL parties, with ourselves colluding. How on earth is any one person, or any one party, supposed to solve that? Especially when it always descends, somehow, into bickering between "right" and "left". What about "right" and "wrong"? - now that's a division that is worth keeping. And it is definitely wrong for a newspaper to print one-sided personal attacks on someone, it is a form of bullying which is forbidden by NUJ guidelines. I look forward to an exposure of how councils everywhere cold-shoulder and exclude BNP members from taking part - another form of bullying. Neat - one set of bullies could expose the other lot. How about it, gentlemen of the Press?

It's always amusing when BNP numpties come from far and wide whenever one of their own comes under the slightest attack. It's a bit like how they gather from far and wide to burn golliwogs.
It's also amusing to watch the BNP supporters' tactics in these situations, deviating mid-discussion when one approach doesn't work. First of all they try to deflect attention from Paul Golding on to petty issues in Swanley and then they start attacking the press. You can almost hear the two brain cells rubbing together.
How stupid are these people to believe anyone takes them seriously? Actually, don't answer that as I already know the answer thanks to Terence Williams' ridiculous claim that Cllr Golding might get picked on by other mean councillors, Adam McArthur's bizarre misreading of Excalibur's very simple comments and Edith Crowther's warped accusations of press bullying.
Far from being a one-sided story, it's perfectly clear Paul Golding was given ample opportunity to defend himself without the need for other people to protect him.
As for these surgeries people keep mentioning (if he actually bothers holding any), who cares about them? The article is about his lack of involvement in council business, he action or rather inaction since being elected. Every other member of Sevenoaks is on committees but he's not. Councillors don't apply to join committees, everyone of them is asked to join something. Clearly Cllr Golding has no interest in council decision making or representing the people who were foolish enough to elect him.

Poor sayso is annoyed that the staged two residents cannot name what they want done in ST.Mary's ward lol

What has the other labour councillor done in ST.Mary's ward then that these two so called disgruntled residents find they want the bnp cllr to do that the labour chap has not done ? ? ?
A lot of residents big up the expectations they want carried out when voting locally, mostly all national levels of complaints about the major issues ruining this country, perhaps they ought to get involved more in politics rather than drawing up a list of immpossible things they thought a local elected councillor could possibly achieve all by himself

Perhaps sayso and his ilk are worried that no one takes seriously the same worn out lies and smears anymore and people realise that if ST.Mary's ward is failing the expectations of the residents they could always form a queue outside cllr underwoods surgery and let's see if he can wave a magic wand !

The BNP as a party are very close knit. We are out for each other, so that's why we are here from all parts of the U.K to defend one of our Councillors.

If he isn't pulling his weight, he will see this article, take note, and if it's true, will improve his performance.

I do not see the point of all of the committees that are forced down the throats of the councillors. Most of them are pointless and keep the councillors away from the work that they are paid to do. Some Councillors join them to make themselves feel important.

Give Paul Golding a chance, he has only been a Councillor since February this year. He has a 100% attendance record, so can only build on that.

BNP members are simply facist, racist bullies, they are NOT politicians. The fact that this lot were voted in simply shows how discontent the residents of Swanley are with the main parties. The BNP (British Nazi Party) would have about as much of a clue how to govern should they ever be elected as the Green Party would. I daresay the BNP couldn't believe it when they were elected - but then again, neither could the Nazi Party in Germany all those years ago. I hope the people who voted for these thugs have learned a very valuable lesson.

Why call the bnp names when the present Labour administration have engaged in torturing suspects from Iraq and Afghanistan for the American secret Service on Uk soil? and invaded their countries for oil for America .Blair lied about weapons of mass destruction and got our beloved country into a war where young men of 20yrs. of age are being killed and maimed? where are your complaints about these modern day fascists then?
When a million people demonstrated against the war in London (and I was one of them !) and we find we are being totally ignored by these politicians then why should we support these politicians?

You are talking utter and total nonsense, like all you BNP supporters always do. The story is about a BNP councillor who has done nothing since he was voted in by misguided and discontented people. I will not get into an argument with the likes of you as you are best ignored. Go and spread your filthy opinions elsewhere. With luck the BNP will soon no longer exist because it's policy that it will not allow members of ethnic minorities is, quite rightly, illegal. Not that any sane person, ethnic or not, would want to belong to such a disgusting party as the British National (Nazi) Party.

well, well, well, here we go again, the BNP out in force, changing the subject and trying to throw mud to cover their own faults. Cllr Underwood a cretin, if you say so Cllr Golding, that's why Cllr Underwood has been re-elected time after time in the area, in all three wards. Unlike yourself that has to look at a map to find that 'disabled lady' (very well known to all local councillors, district, town and KCC, I suspect). The labour party evidently has surgeries every week at the corner house, london road, Swanley - up near De ja vue, on Saturdays at 10am. And Mr Bethnel Green, where does your 'inside information come from your imagination' , how can anyone comment about a well prepared press release from Cllr Underwood and Cllr Brookbank's name added on. It could have been the other way around or not at all/worded as the press wanted to attribute wording. Better any way than hiding from their calls and pretending they weren't contacted! I have no particular allegiance to a party but My God I would certainly never vote for anyone that calls another councillor at cretin, what does he call the voters MUGS no doubt.

oh just to add I done some investigating, like the paper, and found that Cllr Golding was offered places on other committees as all councillors are but he refused them so the places were then given to other district councillors who did want to take part, rather than just attend full council meetings and not even speak. It states on the district website that Cllr Underwood is on other committees.

There are thousands of elected councillors up and down the country in england, are we going to see the press investigating what each and everyone of them does or is it just the selected few to be targetted? ive never seen this kind of thing happen before in the local press so it appears to be just smears in an effort to stop people voting for them
I think there are more important issues at stake than checking out on just one councillor out of the numerous thousands elected in england
Im not a voter of bnp but will certainly look into this matter as i think this is unjust investigating against one councillor instead of checking on the rest of them which would be fine

Perhaps the Newsshopper could contaxct our other councillors in the area and take a poll on what committees they sit on? It would be interesting to know.

Mr Purton, a good story but you really should have investigated further. Cllr Golding says he has attended 100% of his meetings, yes, he is right, his meetings, he is only on the full council and there have only been 2 meetings in this calendar year since dates for the this year, which begin in May. Cllr Underwood has only been to 50% of these full council meetings (he missed 1) but he has attended 3 joint transportation meetings (100%) attendance, 3 service select meetings (100%) and 6 out of 7 development control meetings (87%) during the same time. Which means that though according to Cllr Golding he is a cretin, he certainly makes an effort for the people of Swanley, as he always has. 13 out of 15 meetings during the same time the pleb Cllr Golding attended two meetings where he never even spoke, other than to confirm who he was. This is all on the Sevenoaks District Council website so anyone can check the facts.

It never fails to amaze me as to how far the one-celled organisms also known as BNP supporters will go to cover their tracks, completely change the subject of a debate they are losing and vainly attempt to come across as nice people who care.
I have said this before and I will say it forever: The BNP stands for the British Nazi Party and Nazi stands for evil.
"I am ex army, six years Royal Engineers and six Royal Military Police. I voted for Cllr Golding as the Labour Party in council, and Government, have done absolutely nothing for me." Then you should know better. Did you leave the army of your own accord or did they realise they had recruited nothing more than a brainless thug and throw you the hell out? If the army had known your opinions, I doubt very much that you would have been recruited in the first place.
I can think of many other people back in the '30s and '40s who were in the services and gave their lives to stamp out the sort of regime the BNP wants to enforce in this country. Anyone who votes BNP is a traitor to the memory of all those servicemen, servicewomen and innocent civilians who suffered and died as a result of the Nazi's abhorant, filthy, vile and repugnant view that some people's lives are worth more than others. In fact, when it came to the Jews, the Nazis viewed their lives as completely worthless.
Underneath the smart suits that the BNP likes to put at the forefront of their campaigns are not only the shocking swastika tattoos that they love so much but pure, unashamed, cold-blooded evil.
I urge people not to fall into the BNP's trap and succumb to their tales of how they are going to sort this country out. They will sort it out all right, just like the Nazis did in Germany all those years ago. If the BNP were to succeed and be voted into office, I hope anyone who puts their cross down beside those three, ominous initials, can live with their consciences.

Why is it that the self-loathing, "useful idiots", of the fanatical and anti-democratic extreme left always seem to have an obsessive Nazi fetish? (And, yes, I'm talking about you, "Erastus").

Is it the black uniforms; the big boots; the thought of all those ironed-muscled, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, herr unt herren? Or is it that secretly these "****-handed sons and daughters of toil", who outwardly proclaim their solidarity with "the workers", would love to be able to lock up in concentration camps (and otherwise dispose of) EVERYONE who dares to hold a different opinion to them.

Go on admit it, "Erastus", don't sublimate those hidden urges of yours - you really would like to follow in your heroes footsteps wouldn't you? What is it to be - the concentration camps of Hitler's Germany, or (far worse) the Gulags of Stalin, if someone offers a dissenting view to yours?

Oh, and don't forget, that the ideology that you probably follow (marxist-leninism) has been responsible for over 120,000,000 million deaths since 1917.

I can almost hear the jackboots.
One thing I will never do is get into a slanging match with the British Nazi Party because the less publicity it gets, the better.
Another reason for my refusal to argue the toss with these nasty people is that it is impossible to have a sensible debate with the BNP because its members' views are based on race hatred, and there can be no middle ground to be found there. Race hatred is wrong and there is no room for debate on the subject.
No one who has learned anything from history would dream of voting for a party with such far-right-wing and dangerous views as the BNP. That is why the BNP prey upon those in society who perhaps find themselves without a job or at some other low-point in their lives. The BNP loves the vulnerable, as did the German Nazi Party back in the 1930s and '40s.
Obviously, it goes without saying that the main political parties have let us all down, what with expenses and all number of other scandals and, quite rightly, they should be brought to task. But the difference between the main parties and the BNP is that the main parties' policies are not founded in hatred for a person's skin, where they were born or their religion; the BNP's are.

Don't defend him, give him a kick up the backside and tell him to get on with the job, or is he too busy taking the councillors wage without doing the work? I personally can't stand the BNP, and wait with baited breath for each personal attack that I'm now going to get from all these people who live nowhere near Kent or SE London...

Oh, and the address above is from the Daily Mail, itself considered too right-wing by many.
If the Daily Mail thinks that the BNP is too far-right, surely we ALL should.

Sidcupite, I agree with you wholeheartedly. It just shows how far the BNP will go to further its evil cause.

Erastus says...
5:11pm Mon 5 Oct 09

That is, of course, unless the people who left the comments are too ashamed or afraid to admit to living in the locality of the News Shopper?
Why else would someone from Watford or, of all places, Darlington, be reading the News Shopper?
It certainly makes one think, doesn't it?

5:14pm Mon 5 Oct 09

As a decent hard working local person I am horrified by what has been written in this thread.
We want what is best for our area not a load of mudslinging.
I'm sick to death of all the political parties not doing their jobs and blaming each other.
What we need in Swanley are independent councillors who just want what's best for us without cowtowing to leaders and string pullers.

Erastus says...
5:15pm Mon 5 Oct 09

Would the BNP supporters who left comments on this thread please explain why, if they live in Watford or Darlington, they read a local online newspaper such as this one?

Sidcupite says...
5:17pm Mon 5 Oct 09

Yes, it seems that all these people have only commented on THIS story - no other story anywhere else! Yep, BNP members one and all! We really can't take their comments seriously.

The question is a simple one.
WHY would someone living in WATFORD or DARLINGTON read this local online newspaper?
Have you no local newspapers in your neck of the woods?
Or is it a case that you are really DO live in the area but are too cowardly to admit it?
As Sidcupite quite rightly pointed out, did you just happen to come across this story by trawling the internet or were you 'tipped-off' to come on here to defend the BNP?
We await your reply with anticipation.

Erastus says...
5:26pm Mon 5 Oct 09

Unfortunately, Sidcupite, we MUST take their comments seriously. These are serious people who believe in a, they would say, 'serious cause'.
What we must NOT do is let them get away carte blanche with their views and allow them to go unchallenged.
That is why I am challenging them now:
Why would someone who resides in Watford or Darlington be interested in this story?

After reading all this nonsense from BNP supporters I am left with a sense of sadness that there seems to be a very active grapevine that will jump to the defence o the BNP from far and wide. Yet where is the evidence that Councillor Golding is doing his job. A few annecdotal references, once again from 'relatives' living outside the Newshopper's area. Sorry but that is not good enough.

Local Lady I hope that you get the answers that you seek but I doubt it very much. I think you would yourself make a good councillor from what I have read here.

Eratus I don't think you are going to get answers either. I have been a regular reader of NS for sometime and most comments are left by people from the local area. Most news stories also have little if any response. It is, therefore, always interesting to see how posts a BNP story attracts. Strange that!
As for the BNP supporters I think my security word says it all...join-deny...on

The BNP has mobilised its stormtroopers and henchmen. I wonder why this does not surprise me - most probably because that is what Hitler would have done.
Poor Herr Golding feels all ganged-up on, bless. Best call the big boys in, eh?
Now that we have established just how the BNP operates, thanks to OckendonPaul, I will now leave this debate because I can't stand the stench of racism any longer.

Ah, this is beautiful stuff. Fake relatives, bogus testimonies in support of one of their own, bullying tactics, insults, racism. The BNP numpties have pulled out every classic tactic from their play book.
It really doesn't take much for them to expose their true colours does it? Scared, paranoid, weak - reacting with anger to the slightest provocation.
The only thing the BNP supporters haven't done here is to explain exactly what Paul Golding has done since being elected, which is actually the whole point of the story in the first place.

Sayso says...
10:41am Tue 6 Oct 09

If anyone is still wondering how so many BNP followers from around the country have found their way on to a newspaper site covering south-east London, the following letter should explain it all.
The letter, which I believe may have emanated from the esteemed projects co-ordinator (snigger) himself, has been emailed around party drones.
I need to issue a health warning before you read it. Hold on to your sides because they may split from the laughing you do while reading the following jibberish:

Time to Fight Back Against News Shopper Lies!

The News Shopper rag that covers south-east London and north-west Kent is a particularly venomous anti-British leftwing propaganda outlet. For years they have spewed an endless stream of deception, lies and outright fabrications against the local BNP branches in that region.

Recently, the professional liars at the News Shopper excelled themselves in leftist gutter journalism by printing a Labour fabricated non-story claiming that the South East's only elected BNP councillor, BNP Projects Coordinator Paul Golding, has "done nothing" since elected, claiming that it this is the conclusion of the local 'residents'.

Who are these 'residents'? Two Labour supporters and two Lib-Lab-Con councillors terrified of losing their seats to the BNP! This is without a doubt a Labour/media hatchet job designed to arrest the overwhelming leakage of support from Labour to the BNP in Swanley, Kent. The Labour councillors in Swanley are known as the 'Invisible Councillors' and are deeply unpopular, losing one of their two seats in Sevenoaks to the BNP the first time we stood in the area. No wonder they are desperate!

The only way of forcing these lying newspapers to treat the BNP with the same impartiality with which they treat Lib-Lab-Con is to complain to their advertisers. Free circulation newspapers like the News Shopper are dependent on local companies placing adverts to survive financially. The whole media industry is in deep financial trouble, so pressure placed against the advertisers of newspapers is a very powerful way of fighting back against their monopoly on news and information.

Do you want to help the BNP fight back against media lies? If so, then we are calling on you and all our online supporters, numbered at over 40,000 at present, to complain to the advertisers of the lying gutter rag News Shopper. If enough people do this, then they will be cowed into dropping any future attempts to smear our Party. Remember, this method of fighting back worked wonders against the Manchester Evening News (the largest regional newspaper in the UK) during the Euro Election, and will almost certainly work against the News Shopper if enough people take only a few minutes to muck in and help.

Write a polite email or make a polite phone call to the companies below informing them that you will no longer be having any dealings with their company whilst they place adverts in the lying News Shopper gutter rag.

2. Camelot (double glazing)
3. Wellingtons Electrical

To view the smear article in question please use the following link:

- SWANLEY: Residents say BNP councillor has 'done nothing' for the area (News Shopper 28/09/2009)

Letters ends. So there you have it. Told you it was funny.

Sidcupite says...
11:03am Tue 6 Oct 09

Wow! This story is both linked to the BNP website and had a letter distributed. Just a word to the BNP members out there. Maybe, just MAYBE, Golding is actually lazy, and hasn't done anything except claim his wage. Stop blindly defending him and get him to do what he was elected to do - stand up in council meetings, join committees, pound the streets, get newsletters out. Or are you simply obeying orders...?

Dartbored says...
11:05am Tue 6 Oct 09

I've been watching this debate rumble on with feelings of amusement, pity and intrigue.
However, if the letter printed by sayso (above) IS true then the BNP have scored a massive own goal with this one. If it's true (and I guess we will never know because you will all frantically deny it's existence) then it has got to be one of the lamest, laughable, pathetic, insecure, paranoid, delusional pieces of PR I have ever heard in my entire life.
I'm all for an objective and reasoned debate, but this letter is no better than playground bullying. You're right sayso, it is very funny.
Oh dear BNP, what have you done....?

Erastus says...
11:07am Tue 6 Oct 09

Absolutely hilarious, Sayso. If I didn't know he had shot himself, I would have thought it was composed by Josef Goebbels himself!
Thanks, I haven't laughed so much in ages. I am going to show it to as many people as I can because I am sure they could do with a good chuckle too.

J.Hollington says...
11:28am Tue 6 Oct 09

Dartbored says...
11:28am Tue 6 Oct 09

This has really intrigued me. I've checked the BNP website and they have a section titled "Cyberactivism"
Here's the opening paragraph (which you can all check for yourself):

"What is cyberactivism?

This simply means using the Internet to good effect in making complaints, defending the truth and making those who claim to represent us listen to the voice of patriotic Britons. It means using email, chat and message forums, local and national online newspapers, TV Channel websites, and social networking websites to influence decision making, bring about change and ensure that our voice is not overlooked or underestimated."

Erastus says...
11:30am Tue 6 Oct 09

The following is my favourite bit from the letter and the more I read it the more I keep laughing:

"The News Shopper rag that covers south-east London and north-west Kent is a particularly venomous anti-British leftwing propaganda outlet."
I actually had tears rolling down my face!

Erastus says...
11:39am Tue 6 Oct 09

Joking aside, what a vile organisation the BNP has proved itself to be. Can there be anyone left who still believes a word these mobsters say?

Erastus says...
11:52am Tue 6 Oct 09

I presume the BNP uses cyberactivism to get the word to its supporters instead of holding rallies because it doesn't want the general public to see the swastika-tattooed skinheads that make up the majority of its membership.
Even the BNP leaders are ashamed of their own party members and only summon them when they want to start a fight.
You see, I was right when I said 'stormtroopers', wasn't I?

Erastus says...
12:09pm Tue 6 Oct 09

The following excerpt from the letter is, however, not so amusing:
"Write a polite email or make a polite phone call to the companies below informing them that you will no longer be having any dealings with their company whilst they place adverts in the lying News Shopper gutter rag.

1. Wise Bedding
2. Camelot (double glazing)
3. Wellingtons Electrical"
I would be interested to find out if these companies have been contacted and/or threatened by BNP members/henchmen/sto
rmtroopers.
I wonder what the BNP's definition of 'polite' is.

Northbynorth says...
12:44pm Tue 6 Oct 09

After looking at this topic thread and reading some of the posts, it's fairly obvious that either the local mental hospital has just closed down, or one or two person(s) are responsible for the majority of the anti- bnp posts.
I suspect the latter, there cannot be so many disturbed people posting one after the other with the same style of stupidity in any part of this country.
Take this "Erastus" character - she asked eleven or twelve times "Why" on different posts ??? one after the other - something you would not expect from someone who was normal and sensible. Posts have been flying in within minutes of each other which is a total giveaway of one delusional person pretending there are lot's of upset people in Swanley all at a moments notice who are all at their computers exactly the same time! lol.
We've seen "Sayso" aka "Erastus" accusing these words against the bnp on this thread - "Bullying", "insults", "racism", "scared", "paranoid", "weak", I have not seen any of these things at all - but then again, when you are dealing with unstable people on their computers without their medication - what can we expect ??? (perhaps these Words were on your personal medical asssement form that you were able to sneak a look at!)
"Erastus" actually has tears rolling down her face! Ah bless, poor thing, one can just imagine how easily and simple she is pleased on her computer dripping all over her keyboard as she posts another pile of smears under bogus names hoping a few people will be taken in with this very amateurish hatchet job. lol.
As it stands, unless EVERY councillor in this country is put under exactly the same scruitiny as this councillor by the newspapers, then no one will be fooled by this "Erastus & Co"

Oh well, I guess I will have to keep looking.

Typical reaction from Northbynorth and his sort. You can always tell when the BNP has been rattled because their followers always come out with the same hollow aggression. Another typical trait is saying an awful lot without actually saying anything at all. A lot of words from Northbynorth but it's just a lot of hot (smelly) air. Does he make any valid points? No. Does he answer any of the questions raised by this article? No.
So then Northbynorth and all your other BNP followers, what exactly is your defence of Paul Golding? How can you stand by him still after he has been exposed as a blatant liar? Even on this thread he has been exposed for one of his own "deception, lies and outright fabrications" by claiming the newspaper hadn't contacted him when they clearly had.
It's also interesting how neither Paul Golding nor any of his cronies have been able to answer my earlier question and deny the claim that only recently Cllr Golding, a supposed pillar of the community, has been in trouble with the police for fighting.

You will notice that underneath the security word box is this message from the News Shopper:
"Remember you are personally responsible for what you post on this site and must abide by our site terms. Do not post anything that is false, abusive or malicious. If you wish to complain, please use the ‘report this comment’ link."
Many of us have been insulted and called a variety of names during the course of this 'debate'. We are entitled to report direct insults and request that they be removed but we have not because we want the nastiness of the BNP to remain on record.
The BNP are starting to remind me of The Exorcist movie. I can just imagine them writhing on the bed and spewing forth bile and insults as they are slowly, but surely, exorcised and the demons that dwell within them are exposed for all the world to see.

Sayso says...
2:16pm Tue 6 Oct 09

Northbynorth = Moronbymoron.
"...intending to portray something that does not exsist in Swanley"
Ignoring the terrrible spelling, what do you think people are 'intending to portray' and how would you know anyway living the other side of London?
"an ounce of intelligence"
That would rule most BNP followers out then wouldn't it, including you. Well done on all your copying and pasting though by the way. That Basic Computing NVQ is really paying off.
"frantic postings"
The same comment could be levelled at you and several others.
Now, instead of blowing more hot air, can you please tell me EXACTLY what Paul Golding has done for Swanley since being elected and also confirm or deny the rumour about his recent arrest?

Northbynorth, I think you've made your point. Whilst it's easy to get into a tit-for-tat argument on a site such as this, I for one would be grateful if you could actually answer some of the points raised. Mr Golding is on the proverbial ropes in this story so instead of berating other users, I'd like to hear some coherent responses to the allegations levied against Mr Golding and moreover, the BNP in general. Over to you.

2:19pm Tue 6 Oct 09

I did ask this question about a hundred or so posts back.

When and where does the councillor in question hold his surgeries in Swanley?

I've ask around at groups I attend and no one has ever seen him in the area. Does he ever come into Swanley? Is he even local?

Sayso says...
2:29pm Tue 6 Oct 09

Local Lady, on the Sevenoaks District Council website Cllr Golding doesn't bother giving his home address, like most other councillors do. Instead he uses a PO box number in Bexleyheath.
However, I think you'll find the Golding family are from Slade Green and are rather well known.

The amazing thing with Erastus and the rest of the false names she uses is this - time and time again this tactic of criticising individual political representatives you do not like ( bnp) - and using your many false and bogus names to pretend that at exactly the same time, the residents of Swanley are all logged onto their computers, and all have the same questions lined up ??? and all chip in with their idential points at exactly the same time fools no one! I know you think thousands and thousands of Swanley internet residents will be influenced by reading a score or more anti bnp posts all posted in a single hour by the same person but i'm afraid they have more intelligence in their little finger than what you have on your best day.
You are frustrated that the bnp are gaining ground and making inroads with their policies into areas like Swanley by the electorate who decided to support them.
Why don't you tell us if you are so anti bnp, which political party the residents of Swanley should support and vote for and why ??? instead of the one they chose in february ???
Tell us why you think the St.Mary's ward was lost to the bnp in the first place ???
Go on amongst the five of you - ( although we can see it's just one person! lol ) answer these questions.

Over to you.

Actually, northybynorth, what's more amazing than your inability to correctly identify the identity of comment posters on here is your failure to actually read the comments being posted. If you had read them properly then you would know there are many unanswered questions, and as I'm sure you can appreciate it's extremely rude to respond to valid questions with more questions of your own clearly aimed at deflecting people away from the main issues at hand.
Now, as the self-appointed spokeswoman for the BNP today are you actually capable of answering the very simple questions posed? I know you live in Finchley and don't have a clue about what goes on around here but I expect you've been given in-depth briefings by Nick Griffin and Paul Golding.
Golding surgeries - when and where?
Golding police arrest - true or false?
Representing his electorate - what has Golding done, if anything?

Erastus says...
3:31pm Tue 6 Oct 09

I too have a question.
Why hasn't Paul Golding apologised for calling John Underwood a "cretin"?
I can't imagine members of the main parties using such a crude term as this. If they did, there would be an outcry, and quite rightly so.
Mr Golding, will you please apologise for insulting Mr Underwood?

Erastus says...
4:06pm Tue 6 Oct 09

I daresay that if a member of a main party were to publicly insult someone by calling them a "cretin", there would be calls for his/her resignation.
So, when are you going to resign, Mr Golding?

Local Lady, on the Sevenoaks District Council website Cllr Golding doesn't bother giving his home address, like most other councillors do. Instead he uses a PO box number in Bexleyheath.

Interesting that he cannot say where he lives, I'm very loath to write to a po box - he should be in Swanley doing his job.
I did sent a message to the BNP website but as it is monitored and I was not there casing trouble I will no doubt be deleted.

Re the post about his links to Slade green. That is very sad as I am an ex Slade Green local and many of my family still live there. So, his family are amongst the few dragging that area down as well are they?

It's very sad.

Postman pete pretty much sums up the mentality of the todays left wing modern scruffy postman..everyone's "scum" to this idiot even though the BNP helped pay his wages in the European Election in June by having their material delivered and gaining two seats in the Europen election nah nah nan nah nah! He's probably still smarting over this fact and is bitter and twisted that the ridiculous spanish practices being operated by these ungrateful postal workers will eventually come to an end bringing the Royal Mail up to date in modern Britain Hip hip hooray I hear you all say

I suggest you start looking for alternative employment sonny because let's be honest a smart 8yr old child could do the job of the average postman, or even better change the rules for impending asylum seekers and let them do a better job of delivering mail than the present bunch of left wing idiots..now that could be a good idea lmao

Evening Rod. How's the News Shopper Herts edition looking this week? Oh wait, there isn't one. Silly me.
Funny how you and others think there is only ONE person on here who despises the BNP. The truth is the vast majority of genuine News Shopper readers will be appalled by this councillor's actions, or lack of them. The vasy majority of right-minded people will be disgusted by the blackmail and threats used by BNP members to put pressure on the newspaper for exposing the truth. And most decent people will be staggered how so many simple questions posed on this thread remain unanswered, still.

So here we are a week and 168 post later and still no-one can tell us what Councillor Golding has done for the people of Swanley.

We know that the BNP will vehemently support him and their party. We know that they will create all kinds of smokescreens to try to deflect people from the original question. We know that they will abuse anyone who asks what Councillor Golding has done.

As for all the people who are asking being one and the same that is just ridiculous. Surely you cannot all really believe that there is only one person in the whole of SE London and Kent. I am definitely not Erastus, Sayso, Dartbored or Local Lady. I am Let's Agree to Differ.

For the record I only post during the evenings. I do not use the internet during my working hours for my personal use. I use my own internet in my own time.
I believe that I have only made 2 previous posts :
9:03pm Mon 5 Oct 09
11:10pm Mon 5 Oct 09 which I would hardly call 'frantic.'

So what exactly has Coucncillor Golding done fo the people of Swanley since being elected?

Someone demanded to know what Mr.Golding had done for the residents of Swanley. I telephoned my auntie Mabel yesterday and here is a list of what he has carried out. Contacted the council on my aunts behalf and got three outstanding works orders carried out. He also helped three other neighbours with outstanding problems to be investigated and carried out to a satisfactory conclusion.
All these residents say these problems were ignored by the previous councillor who took for granted he would automatically be re-elected.
More satisfied customers. Now I suggest Erastus you look very silly on here demanding to know what this gentleman has done, there's the list. Good day. I suggest Erastus is totally ignored now and this thread is as dead as the labour party in Britain!

Aunty Mabel is a fantastic woman and could have probably got all these 'problems sorted' herself with all her friends in the BNP able to threaten people. So why doesn't she and all her neighbours come forward and speak to the paper instead of you having to 'speak for her'. Yes it's very easy to say what Mr Golding has done without naming names and for all we know Cllr Underwood has done much more, however we won't go into how he has helped my sister Peggy her three disabled cousins and their next door neighbours on both sides repeatedly for years! Coz it is known as 'hearsay'. As for the last Councillor 'who's that'. Cllr Golding lives in New Ash Green or West Kingsdown doesn't he. He doesn't hold surgeries, coz he hadn't thought about coming to Swanley and he still hasn't apparently apologised to Cllr Underwood, who appears not to have even bothered to lower himself to retaliate. Probably too busy helping Aunt Mabel's who have got themselves involved with the BNP! By the way none of those questions have been answered. Did Cllr Golding get arrested recently?

clive2 says...
8:45am Wed 7 Oct 09

The last district councillor for the area was called Lesley Dyball, she resigned and that's what caused the early election which allowed Cll Glding to get in as councillor. So you are right it probably is all her fault. why did she resign, did the paper look into that. if Cll Golding resgined after the insult he used for Cllr Underwood we would know that he had some decency however I am sure that ain't going to happen. did he get arrested recently? does he hold a surgery? does he live in the area? does he need a map to find swanley to help all the auntie mabels? oh one more thing, someone mentioned that perhaps paul golding wasn't asked on any committees but there is a rule called something like whittington (maybe I spelt that wrong) that means all councillors HAVE to be offered places on committees, so that theory doesn't work. he was offered places and turned them down the places were then offered to another party or parties to accept if they wished.

Is Swansea in Kent? Cllr Golding will you please apologise to Cllr Underwood, I believe he is currently studying for a degree, runs his own business, was a town councillor for over a decade and the mayor, is a district councillor and he LIVES locally. He has also accepted the committee places that he was offered and attends them. Far from a cretin by the sound of it. We know nothing about you apart from your name and your age. What's the secret? why do you need to hide? and why don't all the people you have supposed to have helped come forward to the paper instead of them being represented by someone who's a relative from out of the area mentioning it! Will agree with the other writer though about how few people in swanley actually get the local paper. I was given it by a friend and was then asked to pass it on to others as so few people get it around here. No point in putting a story in a paper that is relevant to an area where it is not delivered. Not everyone has the internet, especially all the Aunt Mabels.

L Hammond says...
9:46am Wed 7 Oct 09

I was browsing through and found this thread with over 200 comments on it and thought, gosh, this must be very interesting ... then after scrolling down it became fairly obvious to the casual reader that it's nothing but a smear campaign against the BNP.



It's truely pathetic to see how one councillor is being tracked by a couple of internet agitators ( because that is how easy it is to see ) hell-bent on attempting to create a storm when in reality it's hardly going to cause a ripple in an ocean.



I also suggest that Councillor Golding did not send any communication reply into this thread ... again, it's fairly easy for anyone to try setting someone up in this fashion and it's happening a lot against BNP officials as marxist agitators, and oddballs, trawl internet forums hoping that masses of readers will be 'taken in' with these rather weak, lilly-livered attacks directed against BNP elected officials.



I suggest you start growing up Erastus because the British public are getting pretty fed up with these childish games on the internet and will place the box against a BNP candidate simply to get even with communist cranks who are trying to put pressure on the public at large in an effort to persuade them to 'do as they are told' at election times ... the public do not like being told what to do - and they can see like we all can on here the immature ramblings of a couple of cranks at work ... and they can see for themselves also the wider picture of what is happening in their areas and at a national level across the country as a whole. The British public are slowly awakening, like a slumbering giant ... and asking them to vote for the same corrupt, and greedy politicians who have created the downfall of this country for the last forty odd years ... is simply not an option for them anymor

10:19am Wed 7 Oct 09

L Hammond, Bristol - If you've read my comments then I hope you can see that I've tried to be objective in my viewpoint so far.
This was a relatively innocuous local story, printed by a local "rag", for local people. It has since manifested into a 200+ comment article and let me explain why:
Firstly, Cllr Paul Golding has posted a rather combative message, using offensive language against a fellow Cllr and accusing the Newsshopper of not contacting him. The editor of the Newsshopper has replied to his post and has accused Mr Golding of lying. Cllr Paul Golding has declined to comment on this allegation. This has understandably annoyed several readers. His silence has confirmed most peoples suspicions.
Secondly, people in and around the Swanley area (myself included) have been rather taken aback at the level of interest shown by people from across the UK. You yourself are from Bristol but claim to have been "browsing through..." - why would you be browsing through a regional newspaper in Kent?
I do not appreciate having a local story hijacked by people across the country. I agree that some of this thread has degenerated into rather banal tit-for-tat but nevertheless, it does not give BNP cyberactivists the right to bombard this story in the hope that you will beat the readers into submission.
NW Kent is not a left wing strong hold and I'm personally still undecided about where my allegiance will lie next May. One thing is for sure, the actions of BNP supporters on this site has at least helped me to form an opinion about that party, so for that, I must thank you all.

Sayso says...
10:26am Wed 7 Oct 09

Good god, L Hammond, if you could bottle up your incoherent mutterings you'd make a fortune selling them as an insomnia cure.
Do you people go to training camps in the mountains somewhere to be taught how to write so much without actually saying anything? Rarely has one post contained so much mumbo-jumbo.
By the way, do you come from the Bristol near Wales or the slightly lesser known Bristol in Kent?
I know it's a long shot since you obviously have no knowledge of this area or this councillor but do you actually have any response to the simple questions posed by numerous people during this discussion?

Considering the fact that every BNP contributor on this site has failed to answer a SINGLE question posed to them (including Cllr Golding) it will be refreshing to hear Mr Griffin actually answer a question for once.
PS: Northbynorth - Question Time has been broadcast on a Thursday for years. You've clearly never watched it, clearly have no understanding about politics in this country and this explains why you are unable to answer the most basic questions that are put to you.

Ahh, I see. It's not that you're all too stupid to answer the questions, you simply cannot be bothered. Well that's alright then.
For the sake of the TV viewers, let us hope that Mr Griffin adopts a slightly more robust approach on Question Time.

Could we start an omline petition to have this man removed as councillor? Could the Newshopper organise it? Surely as he has not lifted a finger to work in Swanley since he was elected he can be charged with obtaining money under false pretences?

Perhaps we could have a feature run, 'have you seen this man?'
With CCTV and mobile phone technology it would be easy to spot if he ever ventured into the town?
The Newshopper could pay a fiver for every sighting!

I am usually a mild mannered middle aged woman but boy this young oink is making me annoyed now.
Why doesn't his mother give him a slap and tell him to watch his manners and reply to these posts? Or is she in prison as well?

Regarding the above comment made by another reader I can't help but feel that this person is somewhat confused, indeed, many of our young chaps fought and many died fighting in the (politicians) war. They fought for ''Freedom'' yet that same freedom has been taken away from us, bit by bit we have been stripped our our English identity and heritage, and everything that we gained from the war we have given away to immigrants coming to settle in our country.

This is turning into a war of words an pointless postings, between pro and anti BNP supporters.

All councillors have to follow a code of conduct, and if people feel that Cllr Golding has broken this code, then they can complain.

Both of which can be found here:

Of course come the next election, the electorate can make their true views known as is their democratic right.

Dr Jones, I think you will find that most people over the age of 40 do keep the English identity alive, we remember the war thorugh either childhood memories or those of our family. It is the younger generation that your party has fed so much rubbish to that are the ones that have lost the way.
Why not go into schools and educate youngsters about the finer things of England not brainwash them with immigration rubbish. Yes it is a problem but not one that should be settled by violence and thuggery.

Why not make us proud to be English instead of hiding our heads in shame when your crowd start their nastiness?

Could you not even mention what area of Swanley?
Eggs are too expensive to waste and as a slightly overweight middle aged woman I would look daft waging a war on an elderly person with a box of 15 smart price eggs. Besdies it is the bnp thugs who do this not us decent honest locals who want a nice place to live.

Simon Bull says...
5:05pm Wed 7 Oct 09

There is no bias in this story whatsoever. The article arose out of dissatisfaction felt by people towards Cllr Golding's performance since he was elected. He came in with a lot of bravado, pledging to bring change to the area. People simply feel he has failed to do very much since getting in.
Funnily enough, he was happy with the attention of the press when he was elected but doesn't seem so keen on it now.
If anyone else has similar concerns about other local councillors not joining any committees, not being seen by anyone in their wards, not speaking at meetings or generally not doing very much for their residents then we would be very interested to hear from you.

What "people" ? just the two people named in the article and we all know how newspapers twist and turn things to suit their own biased agenda don't we ? these two people did not specify in what areas they had felt let down by the councillor or named anything they wanted doing in the ward which is very puzzling until one realises it's nothing other than a smear story. Please go around and knock on a few other doors and do a proper survey on the rest of the elected councillors, otherwise picking on just one councillor to complain about will only be seen for what it is - biased reporting from the n.shopper - used to be a decent honest paper one time - shame

I have to laugh at the poorly educated morons spouting rubbish about racists.

your all obviously not originally from this country if you was then you would know that no man is more racially abused in this country than the white native Englishmen, Fact. Why we are even told it is considered offensive to fly the flag that represents OUR country. Stop bleating and whining like sad little girls, it was a democratic vote and democracy won, just because some English folk with a back bone have made a decision you don’t like you deem them all racist and scum, hey you want to see racists and scum, take a good look in the mirror, the image looking back at you is what is racist and scum. What are you all so scared of ? being sent home ? Then you seriously need to get your facts right about the BNP. That’s it go on, now you small minded mugs will no doubt slag me off like the children you are calling me a racist as well, funny that, my wife’s Scottish, my best mate Jamaican, my best man at my wedding was a Muslim, so yeah im a real racist you numpties. Its not about being racist, its about wanting what is best for this country and for the white English folk to be treated as EQUALS to those who are not native to this country, but get treated better than us ! Its about closing the door to illegal immigrants, and those that are nothing but a burden to this country, its about letting in, those that can offer the uk something, add to it, not bring it down, if you cant accept that then get the hell out, cos its fools like you that are bringing this once great country to its knees.
I have 3 children, all born here, all are British, not English, their mother is Scottish, my first born would be dead but for an Australian dr saving her life when she was born. my 2nd would be dead but for an Indian dr saving her when she was born with the cord around her neck, and my son has chronic asthma, but for the nhs which runs on foreign workers he would be dead, So you see I owe a lot to the fact we have over seas workers here in the UK, we need them, what we don’t need is those coming over who can offer nothing, just want an easy ride and a roof over their heads, what we don’t want is even more of a burden on our nhs because they come here to live and be treated for aids or god knows what other disease. Go away and get your facts right and get educated before you come here spouting you vile racist rubbish. Someone in this country has to make a stand, well done to the people of Swanly for being amongst the first, shame on those knocking them for making such a stand, your as spineless as our politicians.

And as for Paul Golding claiming to have never posted anything on here ... absolute tosh.

It's very noticeable how the BNP posters all have exactly the same writing style, including ending every comment with a lower case 'lol'. Not only does this suggest they are all one person (probably Paul Golding himself) operating under multiple aliases but it also reveals what sad little people they must be if they genuinely laugh out loud at some of the drivel they've been coming out with.

How exactly has the BNP 'won' this thread, cider maker? By being shown up to be complete idiots? By revealing themselves to be paranoid, deluded liars? By not answering a single question out of the many asked of them? Interesting theory of yours, not backed up by the slightest scrap of reality, as is the BNP way.

Oh what a shocker, Paul Golding, constantly in contact with Aunty Mabel, says he didn't post the comments. So does that mean Cllr Underwood is not a cretin that did not did not (excuse the double entry but trying to clarify all these negatives) let some obviously disabled and non existent person down so that the mysterious and ghostly figure of Cllr Golding could ride undercover of darkness to assist her. So does that mean no apology and no resignation and still no surgery. This is going national and is now on website after website - Lancaster Unity and Hope not Hate etc. At least we now know the answer to one of the questions The reason why people can't contact Cllr Golding is that he is on a direct line to Mabel only. He lives in New Ash Green and I am sending him a map of Swanley with Mabel's house marked on it. Hope he knows whether that is in the right ward.

clive2 says...
4:10pm Thu 8 Oct 09

cliff hay, that is a darn right lie. Paul Golding does not live in New Ash Green, its a postal address, he lives with Aunty Mabel, not her real name, in Slade Green, where he can hide away from the world, so as not to apologise for his latest blunders, like the last time where he forgot that lady was a former member of the BNP and called everyone else liars.

This whole thread has been a dream. Councillor Dyball just stepped out of the shower - she never resigned. There was never an election and Mr Golding is a figment of our imagination. As for aunty mabel - she works on the check out at Asda and 'don't no 'elp from no wun!'

Sayso says...
10:33am Fri 9 Oct 09

Well, almost the end of another week and still nobody has been able to answer those oh so simple and straightforward questions.
1. Is it true or false that Paul Golding was arrested for getting into a fight recently?
2. When and where does Golding hold his surgeries for residents in Swanley?
3. What has he done for residents since being elected, other than not helping the fictitious Aunty Mabel?
I daresay that the huge nationwide interest shown in this story has been great for this local newspaper. All those people coming from around the country just to discuss this one little councillor! I expect by now they must have loads of follow up material and more revelations about Golding. I can't wait to read the next chapter!

c) it's a non-story

Nick Griffin must be so proud of his loyal foot soldiers - bombarding this site with incoherent, illiterate ramblings. Reading back through the BNP "cyberactivist" comments, I find it ironic that all those who vow to stick up for this great country have great difficulty in actually speaking the language they're seemingly so proud of. Clearly, poor grammar, spelling and punctuation skills are a prerequisite for anyone wishing to follow the BNP.

Is this newspaper going to list what all the other councillors have done then ?
If you are going to try and support the notion that only one councillor should be investigated ..... then that would be like only investigation one political party over the expenses scandal recently in Parliment .... no one would accept that , so what's the difference ? I'm sure if you carried out a proper survey and asked , 'would the residents of Swanley like the rest of the councillors investigated in the same manner as Cllr Jim Golding ?' you would find some that would say yes .... in the same way that nominations for candidates standing in elections have to have supportive nomination signatures from local people too .
As it stands , there are only two upset locals with some kind of beef to which it's not very clear what they are complaining about or , what they would like carried out locally .
Let's hope there will be a level playing field otherwise , the assuption of a biased report will definitely stand .

You seem to be mistaking me with someone who works for the paper. It's ok, I've got used to BNP people not being able to read properly. I am in fact just an interested local, unlike you.
The reason I'm being ignored is because nobody from the BNP is capable of getting both their brain cells working together at the same time to answer my simple questions. In any case, they don't want to answer my questions because the truth would hurt.
The answer to the first question is probably true, the second is there are no surgeries and the third is nothing.

Nosher 2, it would be useful if you could at least get the name of the councillor right.
Just because only two residents are quoted in this particular story, it doesn't follow that only two people have been spoken to.
As for what the other councillors have been doing, take a look on the Sevenoaks District Council website. Pull up the profiles for the various members and you'll see a long list of outside represenation and committee activity for all of them, apart from Cllr Golding.
Getting a council seat somewhere in the south east was obviously a coup for the far-right BNP but to avoid it being seen as a cheap publicity stunt Cllr Golding needs to be seen to be active in the area he is supposed to be representing. All we're doing is highlighting what he's done, or not done, in the months since he was elected.

Nosher 2 says...
12:35pm Fri 9 Oct 09

Let's look at the facts . The Newsshopper found two residents who were not happy with Jim Golding as a councillor .... these two residents did not specify what reasons they had for contacting the Newsshopper ( presumably they did contact the newspaper .... and not the other way around ? ) This gave the newspaper the go-ahead to write the above article .... fair enough .
Are you seriously suggesting , that two 'other' residents could not be found in Swanley .... who also , if asked , would demand that the rest of the councillors also be investigated in the same way as Golding ? If the newsshopper went around knocking on residents doors looking for people to pass comments about Golding .... and therby giving them the ammo they were seeking to write a story .... why not also knock on a few doors and ask if anyone would like the rest of the councillors also investigated in the same way ? .... you see , if you do not offer do this ..... then it smacks of selected journalism .... which is biased , and unfair journalism . That presumably is not the case is it ?

Dartbored says...
1:31pm Fri 9 Oct 09

Let's look at the facts (Part II)
Cllr Golding posted a comment on this very messageboard. In that comment, he made two assertions:
1. That a fellow Cllr was a "cretin"
2. That The Newsshopper didn't contact Cllr Golding for his opinion.
Following his comments, The Newsshopper printed a hasty reply stating that they DID contact Cllr Golding - thereby labelling Cllr Golding a liar. He hasn't replied to this allegation.
So, not only is Cllr Golding a liar, he is also too much of a coward to stick up for himself on this forum.
If the residents of his ward are happy with a cowardly liar as a councillor then more fool them.
And please, can all the other BNP morons stop spouting their childish rants on this site - let Cllr Golding fight his own battle. Mind you, if his command of the English language is as poor as every other BNP comment poster on this site, I'm not sure I've got the energy to decipher his comments.

Simon Bull says...
1:40pm Fri 9 Oct 09

No Nosher, that's not the case. I've already told you where to look if you want a comparison between Cllr Golding and other councillors. It doesn't take much investigation to see what council business he's been engaged in.
If you can name a single other councillor in Sevenoaks or any of the other districts we cover who does as little in their job then I'd love to hear about it.

2:59pm Fri 9 Oct 09

It is not true the Cllr Paul Golding is doing nothing, in fact he is a very busy man, that's why he can't get to Swanley. He is BNP Projects Co-ordinator and according to their website he has been very pro-active in September he was in Swindon speaking about the illegal war in Afghanistan and how, in his opinion, it is making the threat of terrorism worse. According to other websites he has been all across the country campaigning, driving lorries and assisting with the European elections. He does remember wherever he is though that he is a Councillor, just can't remember that he is supposed to visit the place occasionally and represent the people. So if he is so busy and so important why, oh why, did he personally stand in Swanley instead of someone else in his party that would have more time. oh by the way answer my questions and I of course will answer yours.

I have yet to decide who to vote for in the next election because, unlike BNP supporters, I am not a sheep that follows the crowd. Instead, I prefer to aquaint myself with the policies of ALL the parties and THEN decide. Obviously, I will not be voting BNP because their policies are vile and repugnant. When I vote it will be for a party with sound policies, not one with dangerous and highly-venomous ones that the BNP adhere to.
There, I have answered the question. Now, would Councillor Golding please answer the questions that have been put to him instead of hiding behind his stormtroopers like the coward he so obviously is?

Erastus says...
4:00pm Fri 9 Oct 09

I am still waiting for a reply from Councillor Golding. That's Councillor Golding, NOT his henchmen.
So far, it's been a very long wait ...

Erastus says...
4:02pm Fri 9 Oct 09

I can only assume that Golding - I won't call him Councillor Golding anymore because he does not merit the title - feels more than a little bit silly for leaving his original inane and dishonest comment on this thread.
Golding, do you possess a backbone or are you indeed a jellyfish?

Erastus says...
4:05pm Fri 9 Oct 09

Let me repeat my question.
Golding, will you please apologise to Councillor Underwood and then do the decent thing by resigning?

Erastus says...
4:16pm Fri 9 Oct 09

My question is really a very simple one. One in fact that the majority of honest councillors would have no hesitation in answering if they had nothing to hide.
I am almost tempted to'laugh out loud' myself. Unfortunately, the BNP's policies are far too dangerous to raise even the slightest chuckle.
Tell me, BNP supporters, what does it feel like to realise that Golding is a coward of the first order? How does it feel to take his side and defend him in the knowledge that he is cowering in his bunker while you take all the flack?

Erastus says...
4:22pm Fri 9 Oct 09

If Golding had any integrity, he would answer the questions that have been put to him. I, for one, would vehemently want to defend myself if someone accused me of being a lying, dishonest coward.
Still, I suppose 'coward' is the operative word in this case.

Since you're a rare specimen of a BNP supporter who can write the alphabet from A to F, and in the right order no less, I'll be honest and answer your question. I have no political bias or leanings whatsoever. I'm not a member of any party nor do I support any particular party. I have no clue who I will vote for at the next election. It certainly won't be the BNP ... by far the worst of a bad bunch.
Now, what exactly is 'fishy' about not knowing what party to support? Just because you wear your swastika-shaped heart on your sleeve as a BNP follower doesn't mean that everyone has to take a side.
Since we're in Q&A mode I don't suppose there's any danger of you or any of your other clones answering the simple questions asked on here of Paul Golding? No? Thought not.

Erastus: Golding is able to stick up for himself he was even briefly expelled from the BNP for assaulting Laurence Rustem, a half-turkish party member who is now a councillor in Barking and Dagenham. Golding is known as the BNP hijacker after he said 'We have hi-jacked the union jack, now we must hi-jack the word british' he also says he thinks british people are illiterate.
(well at least the ones that vote for him).
I like to keep who I vote for a secret. It's my perogative, like a woman and her age, a man and his voting choices! I did once meet Nick Griffin he reminded me of HITLER on speed.
Is Colchester or Croydon in Swanley?
Has Golding answered the questions?
Is the Pope a jew?
The lorry he drives is called the truth truck or the lie lorry, well he knows about that.
Some of his mates:BNP members:
Ian Hindle -jailed for 3 years for having sex with a child (November 2008)

Richard Mulhill, the BNP's council group leader in Calderdale was sentenced to 200 hours or unpaid work on four counts of benefit fraud branding him thoroughly dishonest. (December 2006).

The anti BNP`rs think they are far more intellectuaility superior in any argument ~ in the meantime, the British National Party are now representing the electorate at Council level, County Council level, and in the European Parliment with two MEP`s ~ scaremongering, and smearing has little or no affect, and so, the far left is left with scrambling onto the internet airways hoping thousands of outraged residents will log on and see threads like this ~ the reality is, this has been tried before, and telling people not to vote for the BNP without giving them an alternative is hopeless and futile.

Posting up criminal convictions from past and present BNP`rs may sound very damaging until one realises that searching on any of the search engines available for Conservative ~ Liberal Democratic ~ and Labour criminal convictions, brings hundreds of convictions recorded by these parties too!

The BNP are here to stay, they have been elected into many levels of Government, and are supported by ethnic minorities as well as whites who feel they are no longer represented by politicians ~ even though the far left will deny this fact. All in all, the above is a rather weak attempt at damaging the BNP ~ but did make amusing reading at how weak and childish it was put together with multiple postings within minutes of each other.

Another BNP supporter, another post littered with spelling mistakes. And you wonder why we think we're intellectually (as opposed to intellectuaility) superior?

As for criminal convictions the BNP definately win hands down with muggers, rapists and paedophiles, come on the others aren't even close. But go on kidding yourself. Surrey isn't in or near Swanley either. Sad isn't it. It's just like a big gang of bullies, just like Golding back at school. But you notice the bully just makes the first comments and stands at the back letting the others take the flack. Where is the venue for his surgery in Swanley and what times and dates is he there?

As all of us genuinely from Swanley know the BNP boys and girls are here today, swarming around the place in their jack boots, swastika tatoos, greasy hair and dirty unwashed clothes and that's just the women. Giving out old 'Voice of Freedom' asking for donations for June 2009 Euro elections and inviting us to their red, white and blue family festival for 2008. As none of them can read well they don't realise that they are still giving out last years. Some are wandering round the streets with their maps trying to find their way around a place they have only heard about. June 2007 Robert Bennett BMP member a convicted gang rapist admitted affray, after assaulting both his neighbours, male and female and was sentenced to 150 community service.

No sign of Golding so far though, but there is talk of some of the 'big boys' coming and Golding bringing his lorry soon as he can. Seems like this must have got them ruffled, guilt, I suppose, getting caught out this early on, now trying to cover themselves by a big appearance. Hear they are planning lots of things for swanley in the future, even one of their big meetings or a so-called conference, shame Golding just doesn't do what he was elected to do. Instead of all this 'show of power' - usual bullying tactics, what did we expect. The lib-dems are out there today also canvassing no doubt they will get verbally abused as usual. They were all set up in the town centre when the nazi's arrived and had to move from their pitch as they intimidated them by 'pitching up' right next to them and giving out their fascist pamplets.

Why do we not get helpful leaflets through our doors rather than his political twaddle?
To be honest I'm the sort of person he should be campaigning to get on his side (I'm white and know how to write an X in a box) but instead he is alienating himself even more so.

I expect they were right proud of themselves that they actually got here. I heard a gentleman say to them 'it's good of you to visit is councillor golding here' to which the BNP man said 'oh I don't know anything about that we were just told to come here and give these out mate' - the man replied 'well if you ever see him tell him it would be nice to see him here doing what a councillor is supposed to'.

Erastus says...
12:43am Sun 11 Oct 09

Your leader, Golding, was very keen to leave a message at the start of this thread.
Do you not feel ashamed, disappointed and let-down that he is hiding in the bunker and banking on you to fight his corner?
Why do you not ask him to defend himself instead of allowing you to take the flack?
I put it to all Golding's supporters that they are flunkies.
If Golding were a man, he would not let you stand up to defend his corner because he was too cowardly to defend it himself.
Tell me, what MAN would cower and let his 'supporters' stand his fight?
GOLDING IS A COWARD!
Let him now defend HIMSELF.

Erastus says...
12:46am Sun 11 Oct 09

Answer our questions, Golding The Coward.
Answer them NOW!
Cowardy cowardy custard Golding.
All cowards are bullies, aren't they?

Erastus says...
12:49am Sun 11 Oct 09

Golding is a coward. Golding is a bully. Golding is a manipulator. Golding is a sad excuse for a man. Golding is a Nazi in a suit. Golding will not answer questions.
Golding, is it comfortable behind the settee?

Erastus says...
12:53am Sun 11 Oct 09

Golding, where are you?
You are a yellow-belly aren't you? As yellow as the stars your Hero Hitler and Himmler liked to see the jews wearing.
If you are a man, you would not take these insults.
Are you a man or a coward?
Perhaps you are just a little rat.

Erastus says...
1:00am Sun 11 Oct 09

Come on Golding. Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Be a man and answer the questions.
Why did you lie about the telephone calls from the NS? Why did you post a vile letter to your BNP supporters urging them to intimidate sponsors of NEWS SHOPPER and provide them with telephone numbers?

WHY, WHY, WHY?

Erastus says...
1:06am Sun 11 Oct 09

Golding, are you now in bed? I am still up so why aren't you?
More to the point, why aren't your supporters answering my questions?
You had better get yourself some better stormtroopers because this lot seem only to do Monday to Friday, 9-5.
Still, give them their due, they put more hours in than you, don't they?

cliff hay says...
1:09am Sun 11 Oct 09

Been busy most of the day, did Golding answer any of those questions while I was away, course not, too busy hiding behind others. I hear there are some new catchphrases out: The BNP, always helping the police with their enquiries and the one attributed to Trevor Phillips 'BMP members less than human' . Look on Youtube for the latest in their court battle which could hopefully bankrupt them: BNP/equalities commission showdown. Has Golding apologised to Cllr Underwood yet, or has he been too busy writing his resignation? Has Golding announced the dates, venue and times for his surgery to meet with the residents he is supposed to represent rather than mincing around in his lie lorry? Will he be there with Nick Griffin in court next Thursday? And does his little girl know who her Daddy is?

It appears that they underestimate our determination for the truth.

I might retire to bed myself in a moment but look forward to waking and reading Golding's reply to our questions.

Erastus says...
1:24am Sun 11 Oct 09

Golding, do you sleep well knowing that you are in the minority and that you are a COWARD who is not willing to answer the questions that have been put to you?
Sleep tight because the same questions will be asked of you tomorrow.

My cocoa is nearly ready. In the meantime, I have to ask this question:

I particularly liked these two bits:
"Councillor Paul Golding was introduced. Surprising the audience, Councillor Golding said that the last time he'd spoken at a Black Country meeting, was when he was just 18 years old, 9 years previously"
and
"Councillor Golding spoke of the task ahead for him, not only as a hard working Councillor, but as one of the leading lights behind the ''BNP media'' campaigns that both the party, and it's bitter enemies, were mightily impressed with."
Looks like he's going to be far too busy to hold any surgeries in Swanley. Maybe he'll follow the precedent set in the Black Country and return to Swanley in 9 years!


Let's Agree To Differ says...

Just because someone doesn't agree with the BNP's policies and tactics it does not automatically follow that they support the violence and bullying tactics of other groups. Maybe, just maybe, it's the bullying nature of certain groups that people are actually objecting to.
However, this story isn't about anyones political leanings it is actually about whether this councillor is doing the job that he was elected do. So forget about the rights and wrongs of policies and tactics for a moment and answer the questions. Or, better still, see if you can track down Councillor Golding and ask him if he will answer the questions that have been put to him.
much-hope...uncanny! Couldn't have put it better myself!

And we can go post a comment - unfortunately they are moderating the site so will not let any posts critical of the bnp or Mr G go public - just like their official site.
Scared of the truth methinks.

Anyway I left a message asking for Mr G to pop by here or even visit Swanley. Perhaps I should have left a map reference?

Let's Agree To Differ says...
5:15pm Sun 11 Oct 09

I also left a comment but I don't think it has been approved. What does that tell us about their belief in freedom of speech?
I only asked when Councillor Golding would be returning to Swanley as his constituents were waiting to attend his surgeries. Not exactly a critical message but not one that they are willing to post.

betty hills says...

There are some suspicious posts on here the last couple of days, there was no trouble in Swanley yesterday, most people ignored the BMP, with their year old papers, no one threw papers down! Jenkins you are an imposter and a liar, as a teacher I would know that anyone who was pretending to be as ignorant as you would not spell pub wrong but would have spelt some of the words you spelt correctly wrong. Pretending to be ignorant is not big or clever. As for Ann Gillingham, are you the wife of Golding? You seem to know about his marriage and yet you say he serves the decent people of Swanley, when he hasn't been here for months. He even has to hide behind you as well! When he did come here he didn't tell us anything about himself, not where he lived, whether he was married or had a family, or what he done for a living, just that he was BMP and was going to change our lives. I think we are better off relying on Jesus. Where are his surgeries going to be held?

D Mallard says...
6:34pm Sun 11 Oct 09

Having read this thread for the last few days and looking at certain websites I have come to the conclusion that I will not even consider BNP as a voting choice. The inability of the counsellor in question to answer a simple question to one of his constituents as to when and where he will hold a surgery shows a disinterest to people he has been elected to represent. Having looked at sites and stories I too looked at websites on one I found a statement from Mr Golding, on it Mr Golding states: I am standing for the British National Party because they are the only party that wants to put local British people first. The BNP is on the receiving end of constant attacks by the politicians and the media, but that is because the BNP is the only political party that doesn't want to treat our own people like second-class citizens. The BNP has over 100 local councillors nationwide and also a seat on the Greater London Assembly. When the BNP is elected, things change radically! BNP councillors oppose council tax rises, demand that British people go to the front of the housing register, and put pressure on the police to fight crime and anti-social behaviour. A vote for the British National Party is a vote for change in Swanley.. http://votewise.co.u

or_30_months_/that Mr Golding’s own brother has been involved with the police due to anti-social behaviour. At another point on this thread one of the BNP supporters suggested that a certain poster would throw eggs at her Auntie Mabel’s windows if that certain poster had Auntie Mabel’s address – how ironic when at the end of the news story this type of behaviour has been perpetrated by a BNP member – yet again the show of anti social behaviour that Mr Golding wishes to put pressure on the police about!

"BNP Wives" was repeated on Sky 3 last night and I watched it for the first time, spurred on by the morons who have plagued this story for the last two weeks. If you can watch it, please do - it's comedy gold. In one scene, a group of female activists were handing out leaflets to protest against a mosque being built. Nothing wrong with that, it's a free country and people are allowed to have their views.
But as soon as someone confronted them and presented a reasoned argument, they couldn't actually reply. After a few mumbled comments they packed their table up and drove off in their car.
Which is exactly what we've seen on this thread - BNP supporters giving it the "big I am" and as soon as they're challenged, they scuttle off into the shadows as they haven't the intellect to form any objective reply (as demonstrated by haddah, above)
No matter how Sky may have edited the footage to give it a certain slant, nothing could change the fact that they were all as thick as two particularly short planks.
Simon, I look forward to the update.

The funny thing is that there is a guy that works in Asda, looks just like Cllr Golding, only he can hardly speak a word of English, perhaps it is him after all. As for the joke leaflet that the BNP put round over the weekend I haven't stopped laughing, there is this strangely worded so called email from a lady called Marie Constable without a date and with an added on handwritten signature and saluation apparently to Cllr Underwood, yeah right. It's fairly obvious who wrote it and that it's only been written for their publication full of slander perhaps the news shopper will be popping round to see her, perhaps they can ascertain the date she sent it - probably hasn't even got a computer let alone uses email. Probably a set up right from the start if in fact she ever contacted Cllr Underwood, he has always been brilliant when any of my family have needed him, so why would he ignore someone now ITS RUBBISH.
By the way News shopper she lives in Brooke Road, as she has obviously given permission to give her details out she won't mind me mentioning it. We all know of her anyway. Always after something for nothing.

So you're lying, Pam. Plain and simple.
As I've said before, this has turned into a PR DISASTER for the BNP. Insults, lies, bullying....and there's me thinking you were all trying to distance yourself from that image, that you wanted to be taken seriously? Don't make me laugh.

Update now online.
By the way, thanks for the info Cliff. There is so much rubbish which comes out from the BNP that it can be hard to keep up. I've not seen it myself, but I believe we are aware of the leaflet you're referring to. No doubt it's up to their usual standards.

8:22pm Mon 12 Oct 09

Sorry Cliff, but I think you are wrong there is a lady along Brooke Road fits all the rest of 'this profile' but her name isn't that. Unless like other BNP scams she uses more than one name. Hopefully the news shopper will look into that as well. My son-in-law was a postman round this way and said he can't remember ever seeing that surname anywhere on the estate when he delivered.

betty hills says...
9:09pm Mon 12 Oct 09

Postman Pete you are correct. The name Golding is the Yiddish name for the city of Kuldiga in Latvia. It is also from the short form of germanic personal name formed with gold or 'guld'

Evey one of us is an immigrant in some way or another. There is no getting away from it. For some of us our British heritage may go back many generations but however it distant it might be we all come from foreign stock. The BNP like to brush this under the carpet but how many of its members can genuinely claim to be truly 100 per cent British? Probably hardly any at all.

cliff hay says...
7:46pm Tue 13 Oct 09

Sorry Clive2 and note for the EDITOR
but Marie Constable of BNP leaflet fame does live at no 20 Brooke Road, only that is not the name she would have letters delivered in, because that is not EXACTLY her name. Its Marie Vaughan Constable and the guy that lives there is called Martin Crawley. Wonder why she would have sent an email (obviously fictious) signing it with the wrong name. Perhaps she 'forgot' herself. Also the photo on the leaflet that is supposed to be rubbish in Swanley, wasn't even taken in Swanley and is used on other leaflets by the BNP in other areas. ROSE the resident association for St Mary's work with the local labour councillors to report and clear rubbish up, but then Cllr Golding wouldn't have known that when he started these lies would he as he doesn't come here or know anything about the area.

I know this is only word of mouth but a friend of mine knows Cllr Underwood and said he told them that 'No, he certainly, hadn't received any email from this so-called lady called Marie Constable' but then again if the other writer is correct that isnt her real name anyway. Perhaps the Editor will check this?
