Councillor quits the BNP
A ROTHERHAM councillor has parted company with the BNP and joined another far-right organisation, the England First Party.
Coun John Gamble, who has represented Catcliffe and Brinsworth since last May when he defeated the then Mayor, Labour Coun Allan Jackson, had been a member of the BNP for about 10 years.
His move has halved the party's representation on Rotherham Council to one seat.
Coun Gamble was unavailable for comment but, in a statement, the England First Party said: "In recent months he had become increasingly disillusioned with the BNP's national and local leadership, and has now decided to join a party that offers a serious, radical challenge to the corrupt political establishment."
