Asian men and BNP candidate Bob Bailey clash in Barking

BNP candidate and Asian men clash A fight broke out between a British National Party parliamentary candidate and some Asian men as party members were out campaigning in east London. Some men earlier swore at leader Nick Griffin and threw fruit at him and he was taken away from the scene. The candidate for Romford, Bob Bailey, was filmed shouting out to men in Ripple Road when one of them swore and spat at him and Mr Bailey punched him. Police were called after 1500 BST to the fight between the two groups. 'Campaign of hatred' At the time Metropolitan Police said they were called to the incident but no-one had been arrested at the scene. Later however, police said an 18-year-old man attended Barking police station and alleged common assault against another man. The Barking Community Safety Unit is to look into the matter. When asked about the fight Mr Griffin told BBC London the fight was the result of a "campaign of hatred and dehumanisation against any group of people, in this case us". He said: "I think people have to realise that the people have spoken, this is a democratic vote and everyone has to go along with that, whether it's us, our opponents or people on the streets, and if there are a few crazies or thugs on the streets I'm sure the police will deal with them quite quickly. "The more people in the media talk this up as an issue, the more silly kids on the streets will be inclined to take the law into their hands." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the BBC Lancashire teenager voted 'to make a difference' Alfie McKenzie said he was "very serious" about politics A 14-year-old boy from Lancashire who voted in the general election said he did it because he "wanted to make a difference". Alfie McKenzie, from Poulton-le-Fylde, voted for the Liberal Democrats in the Wyre and Preston North constituency, after being sent a polling card. He was only caught when he confided in a teacher at school. His head teacher called the local council and police. Ben Wallace won the seat for the Conservatives with a 15,844 majority. Wyre Borough Council and Lancashire police have both said they are investigating. Alfie went to his local polling station before school on Thursday, wearing a trench coat, glasses, jeans and smart shoes so officials would "think I was a Tory". "I knew they wouldn't suspect an under-18 for voting Tory," he said. Alfie said he was "very serious" about politics and socialism, but decided to vote Liberal Democrat as a tactical option. He said: "There's not a socialist candidate in our area and unfortunately even if there was it would be a wasted vote. I've looked into it and the best option for a socialist is the Liberal Democrats. "I did want to make a difference - unfortunately I didn't." Alfie's mum, Nadine Wiseman, said she had asked him not to vote, after he received the polling card, but she "wasn't surprised" when he did. .
