ASSEMBLY ELECTION

The British National Party will tear down the Severn Bridge toll-gates, and in their place erect a monumental bronze statue of Rebecca to symbolise the right to freedom of movement in Wales, and as a reminder to all who pass, of the heritage of the Welsh people, a party spokesperson said today.

“The Severn Bridge, the gateway to Wales, should be a national asset, not a private commercial venture. In the 19th century, toll-gates in Wales were torn down in the Rebecca riots, by groups of defiant Welsh workers.

"The modern day imposition of 21st century toll-gates is a tax on the freedom of movement, and is an insult to Wales and to the memory of the struggle for social justice in Wales. We are committed to ensuring free crossing of the Severn Bridge on a point of principle. "

BNP Chairman Nick Griffin will launch the manifesto of Wales BNP for the Welsh Assembly in Port Talbot on of Sunday, 15th April at 3pm. There will be a live question and answer session at the launch.

The venue for the launch will be in the Port Talbot area, South Wales.

Full copies of the Wales BNP manifesto will be provided at the launch. It includes:

“BNP candidates elected to the Welsh Assembly will hold every political party and every single politician to account for their pitiful and deafening silence on the two great unmentionables of our times: The Multicultural Society and the European Union.�

The British National Party is standing a record number of 20 candidates in the regional lists for the Welsh Assembly, four in each of the five regions. Every voter in Wales will be able to vote BNP.
