Cllr. Bob Bailey’s Romford campaign has got off to disastrous start with the Barking group leader facing a possible six month suspension as a councillor after launching a racist “tirade” against non-white Christians.
Bailey is alleged to have taken an “antagonistic and offensive” tone when a black pastor applied for planning permission to convert Barking offices into a church.
A meeting in Barking town hall was in uproar when Mr Bailey said: “We don’t want any more Nigerian churches in the borough.” The public gallery was packed with members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
He said he had visited the premises and told the planning committee meeting last July: “These people eat off the ground.” He added: “We don’t want the amount of black children.” A rival councillor called him a “racist pig”.
Barking and Dagenham council’s standards committee are meeting today to decide whether to suspend Bailey.
A preliminary report by the council’s monitoring officer found that Mr Bailey, a former Royal Marine, had brought the authority into disrepute, failed to treat others with respect and may have breached equality laws. Mr Bailey, who was said by a doctor last year to have a “possible personality disorder” when he claimed that he was banned from driving because of “conspiracy against the indigenous people”, is responsible for the BNP’s London campaign in the general election and borough elections.
The report concluded:
“Mr Bailey made a series of comments expressed in a derogatory tone. The comments were intended to, and did in fact, cause offence on racial grounds.”
The idea that the BNP are defending Christian values is a complete joke.

He’s off his trolley.

Personality disorders are quite common. Attacking someone on a mental health issue is pretty low. That’s no different than making fun of someone because they stutter. Why not debate his points? Indigineous people are a minority in London, or am I wrong? So is there a conspiracy against the indigineous people or not?
