BNP 'higher order' defence fails

BNP 'higher order' defence fails

A BNP politician who claimed a drink driving charge was a conspiracy by a "higher order" has been found guilty of failing to provide a breath specimen.



Robert Bailey, 43, a BNP candidate in the last European election, was caught on 28 May in his home town of Chadwell Heath, in east London.

He claimed the stop was part of a grand plot against himself and the BNP.

But Havering Magistrates Court disagreed, fined him a total of £490 and banned from driving for 18 months.

Bailey was spotted by officers driving without headlights at 2315 BST.

He refused to give a breath sample twice by the roadside and once more at a police station in Romford, east London.

I am 100% against drink driving. The fact that he refused to take a test more than once proves he was over the limit. Trying to turn this into a BNP issue just makes him look as foolish as the photo you have with this article John.

Ironside: I did see a reference to it in the Telegraph, but then I got distracted and did not follow it up. Thanks, I will post it.
