Mike from Clydach sent in a response to a couple of comments posted on the Evening Post website by Kevin Edwards, Organiser West Wales British National Party who had earlier claimed that the angry reaction to his fascist diatribe by other readers were because “the truth hurts”. He also claimed to be Swansea-based.
The site declined to publish Mike's response although no reason was given. Mike then sent them on to us via a third party and we’re pleased to publish what he has to say - not because we happen to agree with his views but because we feel that every right minded person would do likewise.
FAO Kevin Edwards - having a Swansea postcode doesn't make you a Swansea voter. Which is just as well. By the way, why didn't the BNP put up a candidate against Alan Robinson in St Thomas last year? You had candidates in Bonymaen, Llansamlet and Landore which are just next door. Or did you think that Robinson is pretty much on your wavelength? Seems that you were extremely right – excuse the pun.
Anyone interested in the truth about the BNP should read this – and not the propaganda which Cllr Edwards hopes everyone is either gullible enough to accept or too frightened to challenge.
Sixty five years ago, someone else made their way to office by making outlandish economic promises backed up by the lunacy that it could all be achieved through racial purity or by deporting sections of society who should be denied human rights. It took nearly two decades before the rest of the world intervened to stop the genocide and brought the madmen behind it all to account for their crimes. In the intervening years the governments of those countries closed their eyes, turned their backs and did nothing. That is the truth that hurts every day.
In the words of the US officer who closed the gates on Belsen after the camp was finally emptied of thousands of bodies; Never again. God Almighty, Never again.
For the moment, we prefer to think that the reason for the above not appearing on the EP website is a technical one. At least, we hope this is the case.

Mike from Clydach included a hyperlink in his comment. The Beans automatically rejects postings that include links to websites. If Mike deleted the link and replaced it with “stopthebnp.org.uk”, his posting would stand a better chance of being published.
The Evening Post always seem willing to give the BNP the benefit of the doubt.
We would like to think that Paul from West Cross was correct but the same comment thread on the EP website - which is related to the story about councillor Mair Gibbs leaving the Labour group - also has a comment from Benjamin of Eastside that includes an active hyperlink.
Nothing in Mike's message is inaccurate or defamatory so we must draw our conclusions accordingly.
I think that Benjamin's "active Hyperlink" is unintentional. I think that he used straight brackets when he should have used curved brackets i.e. (). I could explain further but, it’s too boring.
Re:Matt's comment. The beans not only gives the BNP the benefit of the doubt, it creates BNP stories out of thin air.

To the best of my knowledge, no one in South Wales has been sacked for belonging to the BNP. It appears that a reporter phoned a firm of solicitors with a hypothetical question "What if .....".
