Ex-far right organiser wins seat
NWN: Here ! Is this Nick Griffin's old crony "Wayne" Ashcroft who was seen to be a right plonker on the 1998 Griffin COOK REPORT TV programme ? Ashcroft was taped saying "Gas em all !" , and denied saying that till it was played back to him.
The COOK Report should be seen by all nationalists old and new.
George Ashcroft was the National Front's Midlands regional organiserA former National Front regional organiser standing as a Conservative candidate has taken a seat from the Labour party in Shropshire.
The Tory group leader on Telford and Wrekin Council, Andrew Eade, had called on George Ashcroft to cease his campaign when he made the discovery.
Mr Ashcroft, who has been elected in the Brookside ward, said he was ashamed of his past and has condemned racism.
The council remains with no party being in overall control.
The Conservatives gained 10 seats and have 25 in total.
Labour lost six and now have 19, while the Lib Dems have three after losing two.
