The media just can't help themselves.

I had commented earlier this week on two media articles about BNP candidate standing in the general election. It seemed the media might just have learned to report the news and not create or influence the news.

But that of course didn't last for too long.

You will notice the addition of negative adjectives, negative and incorrect description of the party and a nonsensical attack on Nick Griffin which had nothing to do with this election. It made me laugh that the Burton Mail could reveal the identity of the candidate. It wasn't any secret...

A BRITISH National Party candidate is to stand in the General Election in a bid to become South Derbyshireʼs MP, the Mail can reveal. Well it wasn't a secret!!!

Peter Jarvis has been nominated as the BNP’s candidate for the upcoming election, anticipated in May.

He unsuccessfully stood for the party as East Midlands candidate in last year’s European elections and has served as a parish and district councillor in his native Leicestershire.

He will now battle it out with current South Derbyshire District Council leader and Conservative Heather Wheeler, Labour candidate Michael Edwards, the Liberal Democrat Alexis Diouf and Monster Raving Loony Party representative The Flying Brick, to replace retiring MP Mark Todd.

Mr Jarvis, who has worked as a teacher in Africa, is “vehemently opposed” to further immigration, and told the Mail: “If you import people who have destroyed their own country, they are likely to destroy yours”.

According to far right website East Midlands Nationalist, he is also a “conservationist” and believes “inward migration from overseas” threatens “our identity and our countryside”.

In his spare time, the 60-year-old enjoys “environmental projects”, gardening, swimming, walking and studying Welsh.

Mr Jarvis said: “The BNP is the only major party to be addressing the issue of national identity and not to fully embrace free trade.

“When I was a youngster growing up in Whitwick, North West Leicestershire, I used to wear a uniform made in this country and on a bike engineered in this country.

“We all knew who we were and had a sense of identity in our own community and now we find ourselves fighting for those rights.” Unlike his party’s controversial leader, Nick Griffin, he accepts that the Holocaust, in which countless thousands of Jews were murdered, happened.

He said: “Nick is a great leader for this party, a dedicated nationalist and a close friend of mine. He’s led us into the mainstream and for that he must be applauded.

“Journalists seem to have an agenda of concentrating on off-hand comments people make and we live in an age where there seems to be no free speech.” Mr Jarvis said he wanted to make the UK “like Switzerland”, a country “in control of its borders and economy”.
