It has never been known on this blog that I should copy and paste a complete article from any news source.
The controlled media’s reaction to the British National Party’s election campaign has been to avoid discussing any policy issues - which are the heart of voters’ concerns - but to focus instead on irrelevant issues such as modelled photographs or decades’ old comments which have nothing to do with the BNP of 2009, party leader Nick Griffin has said.
Reacting to the renewed flurry of media smears against the BNP, Mr Griffin said the most striking common factor of the attacks was the absolute refusal of any of the media to actually discuss any BNP policy.
“Instead, they will focus on whether the BNP used models or not on the pictures on its leaflets, or quote some old discredited Tory about Churchill, or as is the latest one, rehash some outdated comment from 15 years ago which is totally unrepresentative of the modern BNP,” Mr Griffin said.
“Opinion polls have shown over and over that the issues upon which the BNP campaigns - immigration, the European Union swindle, the asylum scandal, the bankster bailout and economic mismanagement, corruption and sleaze and Westminster - are all top of voter concerns.
“Despite this, the controlled media focus on irrelevancies. The BNP did use models for its leaflets - because the tyrannical Labour/Tory ruling elite have made it a criminal offence to use serving soldiers or nurse and doctors in political party leaflets. All parties use stock photographs and there is no issue.
“Now they are whining about the BNP using Winston Churchill’s image in our TV broadcast, and have wheeled out Nicholas Soames to complain,” he said.
“In 1995, Mr Soames, as a member of the Churchill family, was party to the sale of the Chartwell Papers, his grandfather’s archive to the nation for £12.5 million. This was paid out of national lottery money, showing that the Churchill family is not averse to making money out of the Churchill legacy when it suits them. The BNP merely invoked Churchill’s image, because, given his opinion on the EU and immigration, there is no doubt that he would have been unwelcome in the modern Tory Party,” Mr Griffin said.
“In the media’s last desperate attempt to smear the BNP, they have also now resorted to rehashing comments made a decade and a half ago to try and put the BNP in a poor light. I have gone on record repeatedly as saying such things were immature politics and all of us have moved on,” he said.
“The media just ignore the legitimate concerns the public has over immigration, which, if left unchecked at current levels, will see this country completely submerged within a few decades. The media ignores the fact that it is the BNP alone which has sounded the alarm on this issue, and has the policy that can avert this looming disaster.
“The media ignores the huge cost to this country of EU membership. It costs us £40 million a day in direct costs, and untold millions more in indirect costs, never mind the destruction it wreaks amongst our industry and agricultural sectors. The media ignores the fact that it is the BNP alone which has consistently opposed the EU, and, unlike the phony UKIP front, does not have candidates who actually support the EU and whose hands are just as deep in the taxpayers’ pockets as the MPs in Westminster.
“The media just ignores the fact that both Labour and Tory parties plunged us into a horrific unjust and illegal war in the Middle East, on the basis of a proven pack of lies. They ignore the fact that the BNP alone was the first to point out the lies, and oppose the war in Iraq.
“The media ignores the fact that the government has spent this country into bankruptcy by bailing out corrupt banksters who have frittered away honest people’s investments in crazy schemes which were guaranteed to fail. The media ignores the fact that it was the BNP who first pointed out that this would inevitably lead to a financial meltdown.
“The media just ignores the fact that all of the parties: Labour, Tory, Lib-Dem and UKIP, are as corrupt as each other and have proven themselves to be untrustworthy. The media ignores the fact that the only party which has completely clean hands in that debacle is the BNP, and our election pledges which have made it clear what we would do about this ongoing disgrace.
“The media just ignores the fact that while unemployment reaches record heights in this country, foreigners from all parts of the globe continue to pour in and take jobs from British workers. Instead of blaming the other parties for this treason, the media ignores it.
“Instead of pointing out that the BNP is the only party which has a Britain first policy with regard to jobs, foreign aid, health, welfare, housing, economics, manufacturing and industry, all the media wants to do is discuss photographs on BNP leaflets.
“That alone should tell the voters all they need to know, and where to put their votes on June 4th, when everyone will be able to punish the pigs of Westminster and vote BNP,” Mr Griffin concluded.
