Friday favourite 137
BBC Four are doing a remarkable job in re-running TOTP from the 70s without featuring some of their now unsavoury presenters. Anyway here's the Stranglers from tonight's edition...

Was Tory Terry Paton a BNP member for 8 years?
According to the leaked BNP membership list from 2009 Terry Paton used his real name, home address and mobile number which is a bit odd for someone who was supposed to be 'undercover'.
Most interestingly is that his name appears in the list entitled 'Apr 01 onwards' suggesting he was a member for at least eight years.
Kingston Conservatives have some serious explaining to do.

Kingston Tory councillor was BNP member
The local paper in Kingston leads on a strange story that one of Kingston's Conservative councillors was a member of the BNP in 2009. Councillor Terry Paton claims that this was because he was working undercover as a private investigator having left the Met police.
The Kingston Guardian quotes that when he left the police in 1999 - ten years earlier - he set himself up as a private investigator and his BNP membership was simply part of an undercover investigation.
Paton was the Tory candidate in the July 2013 New Malden by-election caused by the resignation of disgraced former Lib Dem council leader, Derek Osbourne, on child porn charges. Paton was interviewed at the time by a local community website 'this is our town' where he said "I was a Metropolitan Police Officer until the end of 1999 when I retired following an injury in the execution of my duty. After retiring from the Police I started my own company carrying out Gas Safety and Inspection Certification in New Malden and across South London."
This is backed up by Companies House who registered his company - Paton Heating Ltd on 5 January 2000.
There is no evidence of Terry Paton being a director of any other company (or a sole trader) since he set up Paton Heating Ltd on his retirement from the Met.
So if he was running a heating company since 2000 - what was he doing in the BNP in 2009?

Boy racer Zac Goldsmith admits three speeding offences
The Surrey Comet reports that Richmond Park MP and Tory eco-poster boy has pleaded guilty to three counts of speeding (presumably in his faux-Green Toyota Prius).
They also report he already has points from previous offences, meaning a driving ban would be expected - or at least it would be for someone without his very highly paid lawyers.
So if he does get a ban - he'll find the Transport for London journey planner really useful. Unless he decides to employ a chauffeur...
