Whatever grounds Kyle has given in this article pale into significance compared to the demoralising impact of failing to sign up 500 members in order to be registered as an official political party. Our campaign most certainly helped with his decision making process as well.

Chapman said agitation from left-wing activists had contributed to the “hassle” that prompted him to resign.

Mat Henderson-Hau, an Australian-based internet activist who has been campaigning against the Front for the past year, said he was delighted by Chapman’s resignation. He attributed it to co-operation between anti-racism networks in New Zealand and Australia. “We’re taking care of each other’s shitheads.”

Despite our enmity, all at FDB wish Kyle and his family the best for the future and hope that the big lug mellows out one day and becomes more accepting of his fellow human beings.
