BNP Liverpool Mayor candidate Mike Whitby arrested at his Wrexham home

THE British National Party’s candidate for mayor of Liverpool has been arrested at his Wrexham home on suspicion of faking signatures on nomination papers.

Mike Whitby, who is on Thursday’s ballot paper for the directly-elected post, was held by police yesterday.

Detectives arrived at his house at 7.30am, but he refused to cooperate and officers were unable to detain him until around six hours later.

Merseyside Police said he remains in custody being questioned over alleged electoral fraud by making false statements and faking signatures on nomination papers...

We have more than 10,000 registered supporters.



Interesting how 'Members' has now been subtly changed to 'Registered supporters'. Correct me if I am wrong, but the two things are different are they not? It would be the same as saying The Beatles have 3 billion in their offical fan club, just because 3 billion like Hey Jude.


>Interesting how 'Members' has now been subtly changed to 'Registered supporters'

Yes indeed. A few months ago, Derek Williams claimed on the FB CLEAR Page that Reynolds' declaration of potential resignation by March 2012 was only "politician's speak" - that it was not to be taken seriously in any way - and yet Reynolds' speech in Cardiff on May 7 2011 clearly shows that the content of his declaration was concerning PAID MEMBERS OF CLEAR - there was no intonation _in any way_ concerning non-paying SUPPORTERS in his speech, as he is now claiming - and this point is adequately proven by the video of his Cardiff speech in the article "Peter Reynolds: Tick-Tock - the Clock is Ticking Against Him." hxxp://www.campaign.mondialvillage.com/the-clock-is-ticking/index.html

What we have here is a desperate person who knows that he has lost his power base of influence through his own stupidity - through his blog articles that potentially alienate LGBT, ethnic and other folks, through his nasty, verbal abuse which began on this uk420 site in October 2010 with his alienation of uk420 members, followed by his abuse of myself and Noel McCullagh, before continuing on with the BMCR fiasco and subsequently with his continuous, nasty, alienating tactics and condescending attitude towards the majority of UK cannabis campaigners, along with RELEASE, SSDPUK and now PoliticsUK - and not forgetting the UK mainstream press - an essential ally in this campaign and one which he has completely alienated by his continuous harassment through making a barrage of PCC complaints.

All that Reynolds has left for himself now the hope that not too many CLEAR members are reading this documented uk420 site or the campaign site demanding his resignation hxxp://www.campaign.mondialvillage.com along with many other sites too.

For anyone to say that Reynolds does not possess the essential qualities to lead the main UK campaign group would indeed be a gross understatement. He is FINISHED - no more 17 MP friends, no more Politician of the Year Award, no more Wiki Page - nothing - he has nowhere to go, no external support and he knows it.

9000+ people clicking "LIKE" on FB will not accomplish what he set out to achieve and it is only a matter of time before he realises it and throws in the towel.

People shouldn't be surprised by his willingness to give data to the authorities, he has no moral backbone, he never did have





Yep, very true, Danzig. This issue of the police and databases is where Reynolds came into the UK campaign back in 2010 and hopefully it will be where he goes out.

The exit door for Peter Reynolds has been beckoning for a long time now.

I don't think he's the kind of idiot that knows how to use a door, so maybe a window will have too do!Metaphorically speaking of course. :rolleyes:
I'm no conspiracy theorist but I'm more and more coming to the conclusion that he is out to destroy what there was of the Cannabis normalisation cause.
Whether or not it's deliberate I can't say for sure but my guess is that he's way past delusional and he is just lumbering on trying to control everything while the whole lot falls apart around him.
He's so narcissistic that he subconsciously refuses to see the damage he is continuing to do to the already sunk ship that is clear.
The zombie Ahab doesn't know he's dead and so the whole Frankensteinesque saga will continue.
Guess we'll just have to wait AND HOPE that The Daily Fail do their hatchet job sooner rather than later, or worse,not at all!
My guess is that they are actually letting him do most of the damage himself so that their job will be easier.
Either that or Hitchins likes Reynolds more than we think! :P

I've seen many business people over the years do irrational things to protect their profits.
The more I think about Reynolds, the more I come to the conclusion he is driven by commercial gain and his connection with Medicine Wheel.
If you think about it; putting weed on a par with cabbages (which is what the majority of us want), the commercial aspect becomes a whole lot less profitable.
With a regulated and controlled system such as the one the PR seems to advocate, the opportunity for profit is greatly enhanced.
I may be daft, but I'm not stupid!

There's probably some Peter on Peter domination going on behind the scenes, if you know what I mean? I heard that's what Reynolds likes on them dating sites, and Hitchens is just a sick fuck anyway. :wassnnme:

PR is just a west guy, can't seem to comprehend his views at all. As soon as I saw him refer to his best buddy as a jet black Jamaican, I couldn't support that piece of shit any longer. Such a fucking loose cannon for the cause.

Hi Homer, I agree with all of the points you have made.

>I'm no conspiracy theorist but I'm more and more coming to the conclusion that he is out to destroy what there was of the Cannabis normalisation cause.

I have said it from the beginning, receiving much flack from other campaigners in the process, that Peter Reynolds was planted into the UK cannabis campaign to destroy it. There were a couple of things that drew my attention to this point, firstly, when Reynolds said "I mean there’s nothing contrary to law about the climate change movement whereas there most certainly is about the cannabis movement." So then - Reynolds believes that campaigning for cannabis is "contrary to law" - a crap statement for a guy who claims to have been a cannabis campaigner for over thirty years. "Is Peter Reynolds a Home Office Plant?" for more points on this subject hxxp://www.jayelle.mondialvillage.com/thisis/the-shocking-truth.html

>Guess we'll just have to wait AND HOPE that The Daily Fail do their hatchet job sooner rather than later, or worse,not at all!

And in the meantime we keep blogging all of the blundering errors and lack of judgement that the fool makes. I have not had a single email of threat of legal action against me. All of my articles are fully referenced, and yet I read all over the place that he has threatened legal action left, right and centre against several campaigners. Now why is that? If the content of my articles was false or defamatory, then why no threat of legal action?

This is the main story that needs to be promoted all over the place - this is the story of truth that he is trying to avoid - his involvement with Vic Hamilton and the Medicine Wheel. hxxp://www.campaign.mondialvillage.com/Peter-Reynolds-connection-with-Big-Pharma/ because as leader of CLEAR, Peter Reynolds has no history whatsoever of campaigning for the legalisation of *herbal* cannabis use - ZILCH. Check their website carefully and see. He talks about "medicinal use" and "helping medicinal users" but all of his actual campaigning has been towards the legalised use of cannabis pharm meds - you will notice time and time again that his speak is ambiguous - and this fools many supporters because they believe that he is talking about herbal cannabis, when in reality, he is not. He published seven articles on Sativex and cannabis pharm meds on their site over November and December 2011 - yet not a word about campaigning for herbal cannabis. The man is an absolute out and out disgrace to the UK cannabis campaign movement. This issue needs someone like RELEASE or politicsuk to interview him on this one single issue - and not allow him to move the dialog away from this singularly important subject.

Here is another story that needs continued promotion "Peter Reynolds: Is He Being Paid to Open the Door to US Big Pharma?" when he said that he intends to lobby Paul Flynn to raise issues in Parliament - yes, to get Medicine Wheel onto the political agenda in the UK. MW have already tried contact with Cameron and failed in their efforts, yet Reynolds keeps on keeping on, lobbying on their behalf. hxxp://www.campaign.mondialvillage.com/pulling-the-strings/index.html

This uk420 is an important forum for people to be able to discuss Peter Reynolds and the continuing fiasco of his leadership. While it may sometimes appear that this site is giving him free publicity, it is definitely not the kind of publicity that he would prefer to read. In this respect, I do not believe that "all publicity is good publicity" and if Reynolds believes this then he is a fool. Reynolds must surely hate this uk420 site because of all of the ongoing referenced material against him that lands on this forum.

Reynolds and CLEAR are one and same - and a toxic brand at that. He has made it very clear that he intends to remain as leader. In this respect, I would submit that what is needed is a brand new UK campaign group. Reynolds has used up all of the resources that he inherited from the LCA and has no kudos whatsoever with the mainstream Press, or of other UK campaign groups such as RELEASE and others. I would advocate a brand new group along the lines that Darryl Bickler keeps talking about - the emphasis being on the rights of the cannabis user and not the plant itself. I support Darryl 100% in his efforts to bring about the change of mindset of cannabis campaigners and with a new group with an organised Charter and Agenda, I believe that such a group could become the main UK cannabis campaign group to replace CLEAR. The current status quo only involves campaigners trying to replace Reynolds from within his current power base, but it is becoming more and more obvious, as time goes by, that this is not going to happen. Even in 2014 when he has to stand for re-election, he would stand a very good chance of winning because he is the only person in the UK who is totally 100% out and out committed - in words, actions, time and energy - to a tax and regulated system - and this is the core platform of the CLEAR campaign and one that is hated by many cannabis users and home growers. Oh, to hell with that. We need a brand new campaign group that attends solely to the rights of cannabis users. Darryl Bickler is right - there is no war on drugs - it's just media speak to put our hides in prison.
