BNP Sedgefield candidate resigns from the party

According to the Guardian, Andrew Spence has left the BNP after being involved in a fight with senior party officials at their annual 'Red White and Blue' Festival in Derbyshire.

It is believed he threw punches at John Walker, the party treasurer and had a similar altercation with publicity officer Mark Collett.

Spence organized fuel protests around the country in 2000 and produced the BNP's best ever result in a parliamentary by-election last month: he came fourth behind the three main parties after polling nearly 2,500 votes.

Spence told the media he was disillusioned with the party but he still supported its grassroots members.
