A man filmed celebrating the birthday of Adolf Hitler at a pub put himself forward to be an MP in Bolton last year, the Manchester Evening News can reveal. Patrick McGrath stood for the English Democrats in the Bolton West constituency but polled just 202 votes and came last in the contest. It can now be revealed he joined north west members of the fringe far-right extremist group British Movement who the M.E.N. has previously reported pulled out racist flags and a cake decorated with a swastika at the Duke of Edinburgh, in Royton, last Saturday afternoon (April 19). Beside his name on the ballot paper was ‘English Democrats – Deport All Illegal Immigrants’.
