A small band of activists held a get-together in the City tonight to discuss recent events and the way forward for Aberdeen BNP.
After a good natured discussion that raised points from both sides, with one member declaring sympathy for the 'rebels' cause putting his argument over well but agreeing that some of the methods employed were wrong, the group all agreed to carry on with papersales and leafleting as normal, with raising the BNPs profile in Aberdeen being of paramount importance.
With much hard work being carried out last year it was felt that solid foundations have been laid in the north east but we need to keep active as we are only now beginning to grow.
Everyone expressed their disgust with the personal attacks that have been made against local officials over the last few weeks and condemned this course of action as being unprofessional, totally unacceptable and completely unwarranted.
A new leaflet highlighting the problems of immigration was thought to be the best to use over the next few months which will include new contact details.
A new venue for official meetings is needed and members will try to find somewhere suitable in the near future hopefully for a joint group meeting in February.
Roy Jones made clear to the group that he was only acting organiser and that as soon as someone from Aberdeen came forward to take on the role he could return to concentrating on his own ward and take on the planned new Gordon BNP group.
The meeting finished with the news that John Robertson has agreed to stand in the coming Moray by-election, hopefully we will have time to get nomination papers done and in, I think theres only a week left so will get a move on!
Thanks to all that attended or let us know that they would of been there but couldn't make it, we heard from every activist which was reassuring, we hope to see you all in February.
