“Local people living in Wrexham are well acquainted with the local forces’ reputation for both incompetence and brutality.”

Politically motivated decisions are being made in an attempt to disrupt the BNP’s election efforts in Wales. All defenders of civil liberties, regardless of party political affiliations should be alarmed at the collusion between Labour Party bosses and police chiefs.
This morning heavy handed North Wales Police rudely awoke Dallus Weaver at his Pantymwyn home in Clwyd. Two officers took Mr. Weaver away at 7.30am for questioning about claims of election irregularities arising from a poll for the county council in February.
Mr. Weaver stood as a candidate for Flintshire County Council on the 15th February. He obtained his signatures legitimately but one of the signatories later signed the nomination paper for the Labour candidate. This was later disqualified by the returning officer although Labour did secure a replacement signatory. Local Labour officials were furious about this mix-up and vowed to take revenge.Welsh Assembly
The timing of our colleague’s apprehension could not have been better calculated to cause disruption to the BNP campaign for the Welsh Assembly. Dallus is standing as a candidate on the North Wales list for the Assembly elections on May 3rd. He is also the election agent for the same list. This is a deliberate politically motivated act calculated to cause embarrassment, undermine morale and provide the media with an opportunity to smear our hard working colleague.
Mr. Weaver is currently being interviewed at Wrexham Police Station – friends and supporters can enquire about his welfare and safety on 0845 6071002.
A demonstration is planned outside the station in Holyhead Road later this morning.
Police reputation
Local people living in Wrexham are well acquainted with the local forces’ reputation for both incompetence and brutality. The 12,500 residents of the impoverished Caia Park estate were abandoned by the local force and had just one community officer on patrol. So it was no surprise that locals, well aware of the police indifference to their community took it upon themselves to act in self-defence when in June 2003 a gang of Iraqi Kurds besieged a local pub.
Family and friends celebrating a christening party at the Red Dragon pub were attacked by up to 30 brick throwing Kurdish “asylum seekers” sparking major disturbances which lasted for two days.
When minibuses laden with police finally arrived, the initial relief at seeing the knife wielding thugs being disarmed by riot police turned to horror when the same riot police baton-charged groups of young men who had gathered outside the estate’s pub. Boys as young as 12 faced a hurl of truncheon blows before being arrested.
