It appears he got quite a high number of votes in the local elections neutral

Quote:

But perhaps the biggest shock of the night was that Thomas Holmes, the only National Front candidate standing in Norfolk and north Suffolk, polled 345 votes in Nelson ward - only 182 fewer than Labour's victor Valerie Pettit.

Mrs Pettit said: “It was extremely worrying that the National Front polled so many votes in my ward, but this result shows they will never win in Yarmouth.”

Yes not good at all. We should expect the same canvassing teams they produced in Yarmouth in the Norwich area shortly.
