To enable the
possibility for the pensioners to leave their homes, two local British National
Party activists, Adam Walker and Pete Molloy, grabbed some snow shovels, County
Durham BNP Hi-Viz vests and visited bungalows in the Tudhoe ward, where Pete
had just recently achieved 26% in a by-election.
Mr Molloy said: “It is
important that we look after our elderly folk, especially in bad weather
conditions like we’ve had here in Spennymoor.
“It is also good to
give something back to the community and it shows people what we in the British
National Party are really like.”
While the pair were
clearing snow from one pensioner’s bungalow, the resident came out and asked if
we were from the council and Adam informed her that they were not, but members
of the British National Party. The
pensioner was very pleased to see the British National Party and even told Pete
that she had voted for him.
Once the snow had been
cleared from her path, the pensioner phoned one of her neighbours to let her
know that the British National Party were in the area clearing snow from paths
and she asked for the Party’s help to clear the snow from her own path.
Adam went to clear the
snow from the neighbour’s path, and the pensioner offered to pay for her path
being cleared, but Adam declined her kind offer.
Mr Walker said: “I
thanked the lady for her offer to pay, but I informed her that we weren’t doing
it for the money but for community spirit and to ensure she could leave her
home if she needed to pop out.”
The efforts of our two
activists did not go unnoticed by members of the public as they passed by, with
one gentleman even informing Adam and Pete that what they were doing was ‘very
kind’.
Before finishing for
the day, Adam and Pete were asked if they would clear the snow from the path
and stairs to a community centre, which had many elderly folk inside. Once Adam and Pete had cleared the snow from
the steps and path, they were thanked by the person from the community centre,
who was very grateful.
