English Democrats not damaged by press reports

Earlier this year I devoted two posts to comment on the publication of near hysterical comment about the chairman of Tunbridge Wells English Democrats and the party's candidate at yesterday's local elections. The paper spread its vitriol across four pages including the front page and has refused to print a response from the party's chairman.

The local paper is part of the Daily Mail stable. It has been noted that the national paper has been publishing stories which bear out some of points made by the party which were roundly condemned in the local press.

At yesterday's election the party increased its vote from 75 to 121 and whilst its percentage of the vote dropped from 8.4. to 7.08  more people voted for the party post the hatchet job in the press than did so before.
