Answer 1

Roy, if he was born in 1948 (from another of your questions in a different name), then if he ever was in borstal, it was 40 years ago.

Is that the best you can do to smear the man who beat you comprehensively when you stood against him as BNP candidate in Dukinfield?

What about some issues, Roy, not "40 years ago he might have been a bit of a wrong'un"?

And if you believe in free speech ( I understand that freedom is a big thing with the BNP) why do I keep getting violations from you and why do you keep blocking me?

Answer 2

"Bad boy made good" OK so he is a Labour Councillor. Perhaps you have never heard of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act. I will not make my usual cracks about politicians but surely the fact that he has stayed out of trouble is an indication of A REFORMED CHARACTER and that Borstal worked for him . I have no intention of looking up the website and I think this question gives more information about yourself then it does about Mr Taylor. Think on it.

Answer 3

I am sixty five now, semi retired help at my local school voluntarily on the IT side. Do some gardening work for a couple of elderly less able neighbours and attend Church weekly because I feel it's right to do so. At eighteen I was convicted of theft, paid my dues and regret my stupidity. So should I now stop helping people crawl away and die or what. If God can forgive surely the BNP could try to do the same.

Answer 4

I agree with you completely. Yes, he should come clean about his past.. but why should people just accept it? A leader should lead by example and be answerable for everything in their past.
