The Electoral Commission published on the 1st of October the returns of political parties that spent £250,000 or less during the EU elections held on June 4 2009.

The British National Party, along with The Establishment parties has until the 4th of December to submit their returns in order that they may be published in January 2010.  Failure to do so will incur an heavy financial penalty.  Enough said.

In addition to spending by political parties, eight ‘third parties’ (individuals or organisations that campaign for or against particular parties, candidates or policies) reported total spending of £367,049 during the campaign. Third parties could spend up to £195,759 each across the UK during the regulated period.

• Board of Deputies of British Jews...........35,445
• League Against Cruel Sports Ltd....................1,444
• National Union of Teachers......................25,194
• Public and Commercial Services Union.....74,794
• Searchlight Information Services Ltd.....137,409
• Unison - The Public Service Union Not yet submitted - will face civil penalty.
• Unite Against Fascism...............................86,987
• USDAW.......................................................3,604
• Vote Cruelty Free..........................................2,172

Total (£)............................................................367,049

I think it is fairly safe to assume that the organisations highlighted in bold, used all their expenditure to campaign against the British National Party.  In fact you will see that they actually spent more attempting to subvert democracy than some of the smaller parties actually spent in promoting their political polices and standing for election.

Thanks to the Electoral Commission;

“Voters have rightly come to expect transparency in the democratic process. They now have more information than ever before about where political parties get their money from and how they spend it.

“It is important voters get this information and that’s why we’ve issued fines to those that failed to submit their return on time.”

“The figures we have published today allow voters to see how much money parties and other organisations have spent on campaigning for their votes at the European elections as well as what they spent it on.

So let us take a brief look at some of those Third Party organisations that are prepared to spend other peoples money on attempting to deny freedom of speech to the BNP, whilst not having the courage of their marxist convictions(some of them criminal) and standing in elections themselves.

First off, the state run Searchlight organisation that is run by the convicted communist criminal Gerry "Unstable" Gable.  Let us just have a look at some of the organisations that shoved money in his pocket.  It is not an exhaustive search as I am pushed for time.

Unison, Joseph Rowntree Trust, TUC, AMICUS and whole host of London Councils.  And what did they spend their money on and did anyone benefit financially from their association with Searchlight?  Dedicated Red Watchers are going to find a treasure trove of information in the next few links.

Like I said, I do not have time to really trawl through these files, I hope someone does.  But the invoices one is quite interesting.  The much vaunted Blue State Digital(remember they lost Red Ken the election for London Mayor?) cowboy outfit, that was brought in by their personal friend, Nick Lowles, pocketed at least £21,850 before slinking back off to the states with their tails between their legs.

A few named individuals also seem to have done extremely well out of doing nothing obvious for Searchlight, other than submit regular invoices. The Daily Mirror and MEN also received a little earner each for their support.  But look there are only 50 pages - go scan for yourself.  Perhaps some of you might want to contact the organisations and named individuals and ask them if they are aware that they have been doing business with an organisation that has targeted people for physical attack by the mad dogs of the SWP/UAF.
