Under the upbeat headline “Kev Carroll Becomes British Freedom Chairman”, the British Freedom party reports the rather less positive news that their previous chairman, Paul Weston, has in fact resigned.

According to the BFP, Weston has “stepped down to concentrate on a literary contribution to the battle against Britain’s national trajectory”. Which I suppose is another way of saying that he has, quite understandably, decided that the BFP is a complete waste of time.
