BNP councillor dies

BROUGHTON Moor parish councillor Nigel Williamson has died suddenly at his home at the age of 51 after suffering a heart attack.

Born in Whitehaven in 1957, Mr Williamson was educated at Bransty Junior and Richmond Secondary School.

He joined the Army after leaving school and worked locally before moving to London to further his career.

He married childhood sweetheart Martine and returned to Cumbria, settling in Broughton near Cockermouth.

A member of the British National Party, for whom he was Copeland group secretary, he was last year co-opted on to the parish council. Mr Williamson was an active member of the Association of British Ex-servicemen and also did voluntary work for Age Concern.

Cumbrian BNP members today described him as a “true friend”.

His funeral will be at Distington Hall Crematorium, Distington Hall, Distington, on Thursday, March 27, at 3.30pm, with a wake to follow.

Useful to re-produce a previous posting here:

Interesting posting on The Nation of Duncan blog about how Nigel Williamson tried and failed to infiltrate the Maryport Against Racism campaign. Here’s an extract from the posting:

”A few days later the list of candidates for the local election were announced. Surprise, surprise, guess who the [BNP] candidate for Great Broughton is? Nigel Williamson, a man who is in the running for the worst attempt at infiltration since a guy turned up at the Kremlin wrapped in an American flag asking if he could join the KGB

Not bothering with trying to take on Maryport Against Racism politically and having failed to infiltrate the campaign the BNP decided to start lying”.

From the Maryport Against Racism blog on how Nigel Williamson attempted and failed to infiltrate it:

”A few months ago in the run up to the local elections Maryport Against Racism recieved emails from Nigel Williamson saying he wanted to get involved in the group and in opposing the BNP and asked what activities we had planned for the Cockermouth area.This sounded a bit suspicious so we asked to meet him before giving him any information and he agreed to meet us straight away. Apparently, he was keen to get involved and gave us his mobile number so we could keep in touch.

Funnily enough though, he cancelled the meeting at the last moment and stopped answering our emails. A few days later the list of candidates for the local election were announced. Surprise, surprise, guess who the candidate for Great Broughton is? Nigel Williamson, someone in the running for the worst attempt at infilitration in the history of espionage.

This is apparently the kind of person the BNP thinks is fit to be a councillor and represent the people of Broughton. They should be ashamed.”
