A new day yesterday, but it's an old day now..

My good friend Dave Jones conveys good news from the agricultural district today having given the BNP a most convincing second place behind the Tories in Daventry Northants kicking Labour into third place by securing a huge 31% of the vote in the towns Drayton ward. A snippet from the BBC regional news pages says "No seats changed hands so the Tories still have 35 seats, Labour has one, and the Lib Dems have two.

In the Drayton ward, the British National Party (BNP) failed to beat the Tory candidate, but did take second place ahead of Labour. " I will leave comment to Northants Patriot who sums it up perfectly...

Alongside one from a moaning Lib Dem agent who couldn't even be bothered to stand a candidate in the ward. The Lib Dems had more to be upset as they did not make the inroads into the west of the county that they had hoped, coming a miserable third in their target seat of Abbey South. I am glad the Lib Dems were soundly rejected at the Polls, their vile brand of politics have no place in a civilised society.

A more detailed article from the local Daventry paper online edition can be found here.

Quite right NP and of course a big well done and bravo to Dave. The beers are on your at t'weekend methinks :)

Nahhh, only kidding it's definitely my round old chap...
