David Fleming (BNP)

Website: None specific

Mr Fleming has been a BNP member for just over three years. In that time he has risen to be an organiser and has stood in local and Euro elections for the party.


There is no UKIP representative as far as I can make out in North West Norfolk and the first BNP candidate running in the region.

While I've not enjoyed searching the BNP website I'm concious of the words of Professor Lee Bollinger, that "the free speech principle involves a special act of carving out one area of social interaction for extraordinary self-restraint, the purpose of which is to develop and demonstrate a social capacity to control feelings evoked by a host of social encounters".
