The fake Clergyman and his messages of hate!
An abusive e-mail has been sent to a Leicestershire support group, describing homosexuals as unnatural.
The e-mail is the second abusive e-mail to be received by the Leicester Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Centre, since the general elections in May when they circulated a questionnaire to all local electoral candidates asking about their policies concerning the gay community.
The questionnaire was initially forwarded to Reverend West, a BNP candidate in the Lincolnshire area. He responded to the questionnaire with a four page response, calling the person who composed the questionnaire a “complete and utter pervert”, telling him to “get a life and get it cleaned up”.
The group decided not to take their complaint against West any further. However, they have now received a further e-mail from Dr SH Russell, who states that he is friend of West.
In the e-mail Russell says: “I understand that you and your organisation have had the impertinence to circulate a questionnaire to candidates in local council elections, asking about their support (if any) for people in the so called ‘LGBT community’.”
He added: “Let me tell you, sir that the best thing for these unfortunate creatures ... is to keep quiet about their unnatural proclivities, live a celibate life and get back in the closet.”
Dennis Bradley, centre support officer for the LLGBC said: “The e-mail I received this morning confirmed that there are still too many people in our little corner of the world who are intent on inflicting harm and pain on others in the name of freedom of expression and religion. When I reread this e-mail and the others that I have received in the last few months I do not see the Christianity I was brought up to believe in – acceptance, tolerance and love. Instead I see loathing and fear. In the end when I re-read this e-mail I also feel sad.”
When contacted by PinkPaper.com and asked if he wished to retract any of his comments, Russell responded: “I do not approve of homosexuality or the promotion of homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle, equal to heterosexuality, which it most certainly is not. Homosexuals and lesbians should ... not go parading around in so called ‘Pride’ events, and attempting to recruit normal but impressionable young people to their cause.”
Mr West says:
I have lived in the South Holland district since 1992 and am particularly concerned for this area as a rural community greatly in need of nurturing and protecting. I have served as a District Councillor for four years and represented South Holland for one year on the Race Equality Council where I combated prejudice and discrimination. My skills in lecturing and Christian Ministry will put local people's concerns at the forefront where they can no longer be ignored and where we can make government at last work for us and not for itself.
In 2006 Mr West was a Tory Cllr he was Suspended and he moved to BNP
Mr West has lectured in political philosophy
As district councillor who was suspended from the Conservative Party he then defected to the British National Party.
Robert West, of South Holland District Council, in Lincs was suspended after he spoke at a BNP meeting.
The 50-year-old said his switch was prompted by Conservative leader David Cameron's priority list of candidates for the next general election.
He said the list excluded white male candidates in favour of women, non-whites, homosexuals and lesbians.
'Traditional beliefs'
In a statement, Mr West said: "I have decided to seek refuge from political correctness by applying for asylum with the British National Party - Britain's finest and most decent party - in our country's hour of need."
Mr West said he had been a lecturer in political philosophy and equal opportunities law.
He has set up his own church, based in a house in Holbeach, to preach "traditional bible beliefs".
He said Conservative leader David Cameron was "talking nonsense" when he recently called on people to oppose the BNP.
David Graves-Moore, deputy chairman for South Holland and the Deepings Conservative Association, said the local association had earlier decided against suspending Mr West, even though he had been suspended by the party at a national level.
"If we had known what we know now when we interviewed him we would have come to a different conclusion and suspended him there and then.
"He argued that he went to them (the BNP) to preach the gospel to them."
It appears they converted him or was he always one of those rotten Torries?
