Israel against illegal immigration

Oh dear me.  the Politically correct brigade will have a problem with this one.  How on earth will they deal with it?

Israeli Interior Minister: Illegal Immigration Threatens Israel’s Jewish Identity

The Israeli immigration minister Eli Yishai has announced his firm intention to deport all illegal aliens because their presence “damages the state’s Jewish identity, constitute a demographic threat and increase the danger of assimilation.”

The demand of Israel to be a Jewish state underpins the existence of that nation — and is identical to the British National Party’s demand for Britain to remain an ethnically majority British state.

Speaking to the Israeli media after refusing to concede on demands for the children of illegal immigrants to be made exempt from deportation proceedings, Mr Yishai said he was adamant over his decision that all illegal foreign workers and their families must leave the country.

“Minister Yishai is not ready to give a permanent residency to these children. Their parents, who are staying illegally, are using their children to whitewash their presence,” Mr Yishai’s spokesman, Roee Lahmanovitz told the media.

“Allowing this group residency would create a dangerous precedent which could eventually fundamentally change the Jewish character of Israel,” he said.

“We are not a safe haven, period. We should not damage the character of the Jewish state simply out of clemency.”

Allowing these children to stay in Israel “is liable to damage the state’s Jewish identity, constitute a demographic threat and increase the danger of assimilation,” Mr Yishai added later. “We are not an asylum state.”

The man has a point.

Conservative U-turn?

Dodgy David Cameron may upset the apple cart for many tradition Conservative voters if this article works out the way that it promises to.

EU Treaty: Cameron Becomes the ‘Promise Breaking Cancer’ He Warned Against

Writing in tonight’s London Evening Standard, the political editor, Joe Murphy, says that “David Cameron is set to announce within days that he will not call a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty if he takes power and it is already law.

“He is expected to sound a retreat on his ‘cast-iron guarantee’ only after the treaty has been ratified by Czech president Vaclav Klaus, the last European leader to hold out against it,” Mr Murphy wrote.

Mr Cameron’s sharp u-turn flies directly in the face of his strongly worded article published in The Sun newspaper of 26 September 2007 in which he solemnly vowed that he would hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.

Referring to Gordon Brown’s refusal to hold a referendum, Mr Cameron wrote: “Make no mistake, that’s the reason he refuses to give the British people a referendum on the EU constitutional treaty — he simply doesn’t trust them. It’s the arrogant belief that he — and only he — has the right to decide what’s best for Britain’s future.”

New Labour or Blue Labour it has not made much difference which you support in modern times.  Now even their leaders cannot tell the difference.

Camp Hill by-election update

Every day is a busy day for the British National Party and this one was never going to be any different.

Canvassing is my preferred activity on the streets.  The by-election in Camp Hill is underway and the work needs doing.  Leafleting is so impersonal.  I like to talk to the people and get a feel for things.  As usual more people are out than in but this is the same for everyone.  It is good for the people to speak to us in person and see the decent people that we are.

I must say that I have been impressed with the reasonable attitude of the people of Camp Hill.  Quite a few questions have been asked and answered to their apparent satisfaction.  I thank all of the activists that have taken part so far and encourage more to come forward and join us on the by-election campaign.

I have been given a letter from the labour candidate delivered today, which encourages people to. “tell them where to go” when the British National Party comes knocking upon the door.  What does it say to you about the character of a candidate that is prepared to encourage people to do such a thing?  Alwyn Deacon would never stoop to such low tactics.

I have been given the photographs that I have been waiting for to accompany two press releases which will hopefully both be given space in the newspapers this week.  Useful leafleting material as well.

Stop the Persecution of David Lucas!

Stop the Persecution of David Lucas! demands the headline on the British National Party website.

On 16^th April 2009 the Eastern Region BNP candidates for the European election were announced to the local press. One of the Eastern Region’s candidates, David Lucas, will also remember this as the date a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Mr Lucas is a well known farmer in East Anglia, and he ran one of the biggest open air farmers’ markets in the country. He had earlier allowed the BNP’s Eastern Region to use his barns for a local ‘Battle for Britain’ fundraising event in the run-up to the European elections, complete with de-activated Bren Guns and the other props and paraphernalia that went with these functions. This particular fundraiser was filmed by the BBC.

On 23^rd April, St George’s Day, David was arrested by armed police and held all day, until late at night, while his farm was searched by armed police for illegal firearms. The homes of some of his family members were also searched by armed police. They confiscated his LEGALLY held firearms — the tools of his trade — for which he held the correct and up-to-date certificates. The only other ‘guns’ on the premises were two plastic toys.

….. During this time bail conditions have been changed to those of attempting to receive and attempting to handle. He has been given no idea what he is supposed to have been receiving or handling. The charge sheets have since become blank, giving no information as to what the current charges if any, are. Mr Lucas, once a successful man, running three businesses, now has no remaining businesses and is surviving on little income. European law apparently allows him to be kept bailed for an indefinite period of time, without charge, pending further enquiries. As at this time no charges have been brought, Mr Lucas still has no real idea of what he is being accused.

This man is being persecuted for daring to be a BNP European candidate. His case must not be forgotten.

If you have no problem with a man who runs legitimate businesses for which he holds every certificate and licence going and chooses to stand as a candidate for a legitimate political party being subjected to the treatment detailed in the full report then you are a Fascist.  No doubt about it!

Media Rebuttal Unit

Over on the website of the British National Party I am delighted to read that we have an official Media Rebuttal Unit to try to combat the lies that are told about us.

Today the Media Rebuttal Unit, led by BNP Projects Coordinator Cllr Paul Golding, has lodged formal complaints against two lying newspapers, The Sun and The Times.

Well you have to start somewhere and those two are as good as any.

Forecourt fuel prices effect the real economy

I have noticed today that the price of petrol at the pump has risen again without explanation.

Maybe it is because the vast majority of our oil is supplied by a very few major suppliers who fix prices to increase profits.

Maybe it is a market reaction to the instability on the stock markets in recent months and traders are storing their money in the black stuff.

Maybe it is due to the devaluation of Sterling against the basket of international currencies.

Maybe it will come down again … but not by much.

Whatever the reason for the increase in fuel prices the effect will be to stifle the ‘real’ economy.

Pumping hundreds of billions of pounds into the economy at the top end with the bankers is never going to solve the problem.  Bankers will hold on to the precious commodity and charge more for it.  Demanding more collateral and higher deposits.  This is called market forces.  What the government should have done is to put money in at the bottom of the stack.  If the people who go out and work for a living get a little more they will go out and spend it.  It is this consumer spending which drives the economy not the bankers who rack up enormous profits through charges to the government for handling its debt relocation scheme, or as they would prefer to call it, Quantitative Easing (QE).

This increase in fuel prices is a corporate squeeze on the economy increasing the already restrictive financial conditions endured by working people.

Busy week so far.

It is a good job that I like to be busy.  Monday is of course the first working day of the week, as if you needed me to remind you.

In the evening I attended the Overview Joint Scrutiny Commission meeting in the council house.  OJSC is always an interesting meeting but on this particular evening it was not to be my only one.

The West Midlands Regional Meeting took place at a large venue in Coventry.  The meeting started late due to unexpected major road closures and as the time grew near I was the only speaker that had made it.

Alwyn Deacon, Regional Organiser and candidate for the Camp Hill by-election, opened the meeting.  The room was packed.  Not only was every seat taken but in the available floor space people were shoulder to shoulder.

I had the honour of being the first speaker.  I always enjoy speaking engagements and managed to score a few laughs as well as getting across my points about the importance of communication, leadership and normalisation in the armoury of every member of the British National Party.

James Whittal was second speaker and he left no-one in any doubt about his opinion of the people who seek to irreversibly change our culture and traditions.

There was a short break after which the party chairman Nick Griffin addressed the crowd.  Nick covered a myriad of topics in quick succession.  If you have never heard the chairman speak live you have missed a treat.

This is one of my favourite pictures.

Alwyn Deacon and myself with campaign election agent Tom Gower.  With a team like that you know that you can get things done.

Debbie moved around a lot and took many pictures of the evening.  I have selected a couple of favourites.

Tuesday brought a meeting of the Social Scrutiny Panel.  This meeting went on a bit but in the name of comprehensive scrutiny of the councils policies and performance reviews I did not mind.

I have not detailed the ward work that has taken place, meetings arranged and events bookings confirmed via e-mail.  The diary is looking full which is exactly how it should be for a busy ward councillor.  Did I forget to mention the by-election?  Leaflets do not write themselves.  I try to get ideas down whenever I can.

Chairman's address and Sunday’s so called newspapers

A quick address from nick griffin to start with.

Just to give the liberals amongst you nightmares the interest in the party has been great enough that when the membership list opens up again the party could be twice the size that it was.

I just thought that I would add this link from the main British National Party website where there is a report that, ‘Sunday newspapers find common sense “vile”’ which I am sure they do.

DESPITE a week of newspaper headlines and television reports on the British National Party, there has been one glaring omission from all the coverage. At no time has BNP policy come under the spotlight.

Journalists in the Sunday newspapers were queuing up to condemn the British National Party stance on immigration as “vile”, but never explained why, in their eyes, it was “vile”.

pop over and read the full story.  you probably will not be surprised.

Camp Hill By-Election

A by-election has been called in the Camp Hill ward of Nuneaton by the resignation of our very own Councillor Darren Haywood.  This decision was as unknown to the other parties as was the reason for it contrary to their press releases.

The British National Party won two seats on Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council in May 2008.  The lucky winners were Cllr Haywood and myself.  At the time of our election Cllr Haywood was in employment and attended his meetings as British National Party councillors are expected to do.  Despite claims on third party websites that Councillors of this party are useless the truth is that we are quite thoroughly vetted at a local level prior to selection.  Our availability and enthusiasm for the job are only two of the criteria.

During his time as a borough councillor Darren was made redundant.  This is a situation that many of my readers will know from past personal experience and will understand that it is not one which leaves a stain upon the character of the victims of the changes in market forces which bring about such decisions.

Upon finding himself without employment Cllr Haywood had to face the same problems as everyone else.  Namely more bills than income.  With a mortgage to pay Darren made seeking employment an immediate priority.  The communication skills that are an essential part of the make up of a candidate for election to a council seat are useful in other areas of life as well.  Quite quickly Darren found himself offered employment with a new employer but the shift pattern that he would have to work effectively made attending his council meetings an impossibility. 

Sometimes it is easier to find work when you already have a job and with this in mind Cllr Haywood took the job.  The economic situation is deteriorating and the number of people applying for each job is increasing by the week.  We have all read newspaper articles about hundreds of people applying for each position.  As time passed Cllr Haywood found himself in the position of not being able to find alternative employment and therefore found himself unable to attend council meetings.

Cllr Haywood kept myself and the local party updated on his position and with regret we mutually agreed that the time had come for him to stand down.  This is not a decision that we came to in haste but with the gravity of the situation it is one that we are proud of.  The British National Party group on Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council was as small as a group can be with two councillors.  It would have been simple enough for Cllr Haywood to attend the one meeting per six months that is required to keep his seat and avoid this by-election all together.

The only honourable decision for a councillor to take once they are aware that they cannot fulfil their duties is to stand down to enable someone in a better position to represent the people.  This by-election has not been called because a councillor is useless, says nothing or cannot be bothered because that is not the case.  Neither has this by-election been called because a councillor has been or is about to be ‘kicked off’ the council.  This by-election has in fact been called because a highly principled representative of the people has found himself in a position, through no fault of his own, whereby he is no longer able to fulfil his sworn duty to represent the people of Camp hill.  The decision to stand down in this instance is an honourable one which was taken with the gravity and due consideration that such decisions demand.  This decision is honourable because the councillor and political party in question placed the duty to represent the people higher than the protection of the interests of the political party.  I do not believe that other parties would do this.

Myself and the local activists in the area know that residents of Camp Hill will not appreciate being asked to vote twice for one council seat but under these circumstances we are asking them for understanding.  Over forthcoming weeks their doors may bow with the weight of the political leaflets which will surely be pushed through them.  As we are the British National Party we are expecting to face the full force of national campaigns from both of the main opposition parties and also the interference of third party smear leaflets, the fictions of which I am sure will bemuse me as much as they do residents.

Both the Labour and Conservative party press releases have claimed that Darren was an invisible councillor and that the BNP has done nothing for Camp Hill since our election.  They also claim to be unsurprised by the news.  They were surprised enough that they have no material to distribute in the inevitable by-election whereas our campaign is underway and as yet the Labour party are having to rush their candidate selection process.  This is possibly because having noted councillor Haywood's absence they assumed that he would attend the minimum number of meetings required as explained above.  Despite this I am certain that within the local press in the coming week the Labour party in particular will be given free reign, and columns of space, to claim anything that they wish.  Any reply which may be offered by myself or our candidate will be limited to the usual single sentence.  I would love to be proven wrong and see the British National Party candidate enjoy equal column inches but I am not going to hold my breath.

The fact remains that there is a by-election in Camp Hill ward and that the British National Party is as usual  in front of the opposition.

You are being replaced – It’s official!

Andrew Neather is a name that will go down in Labour party infamy for this is the name of the former Labour adviser who has spilt the beans on New Labours dishonest immigration policy.

Don’t believe me?  Read it for yourself: -

Mail on Sunday - 'Dishonest' Blair and Straw accused over secret plan for multicultural UK

Telegraph - Labour wanted mass immigration to make UK more multicultural, says former adviser

Sunday Express - LABOUR IMMIGRATION ‘PLOT’

Daily Star - MIGRANT FLOOD 'PLAN'

I of course prefer the report from the British National Party website entitled: - “The Truth is out and it’s Dynamite”: Mass Immigration Really is a Conspiracy.  As the British government and its politicians prefer to believe that there is no such thing as an indigenous population in the UK I include this link for your perusal: - Immigration: Labour Party Is Guilty of Breach of UN Declaration on Indigenous Peoples’ Rights

If you have or intend to vote Labour please bear this in mind.  They understand fully that you see yourself as British and they want to change that.  To facilitate this they have and still are encouraging mass immigration to forever change the genetic make up of the peoples of the British Isles.

Press lies and incitement to illegal action

Yet More Lies from the Slimy Sunday Express broadcasts the banner on the website of the only truly patriotic Nationalist party in Great Britain.

In an article claimed to be ‘an exclusive’, which it certainly is because they made it up, the Sunday Express makes allegations about a man who is no longer even a member of the party and who has already proven his innocence after previously having his character smeared by similar allegations elsewhere.

The Guardian does not like to be sidelined when it comes to having a go at the British National Party.

Guardian Technology Editor Incites Illegal Hacking of BNP Website is the title.  The detail is rather shocking but worth a read.  Should you feel minded to register a complaint to the Serious Organised Crime Agency I assure you that you will not be the first.

At a local level Councillors of the British National Party the length and breadth of the nation are quite accustomed to being ignored by the media.  National Union of Journalist guidelines are quite rigidly applied which results in a questionable silence from elected British National Party representatives such as myself.  This blog is one of my ways of letting people know that their elected representative does indeed have opinions.  It is not my fault if a prejudiced local press refuses to print what I send them.  Neither am I responsible for the fact that we are never contacted for comment on local issues even though we won elections.  We are used to this treatment but it will be nice when it ceases.

Post Question Time

Well the media frenzy has died down, the dust has settled but what has come of it all?

The British National Party was in a no lose situation from the start.  The breadth of our policy base ensures that if a standard Question Time program had been undertaken for the first time in years the audience would have seen politicians with genuinely differing policies debating.  Not wishing that to be the case the BBC undertook to broadcast a lamb to the slaughter exercise.

Nick Griffin is not very often referred to as a lamb but on this occasion the description is apt.  Quite a well mannered and gentle lamb who had to withstand a verbal battering never before seen on television in this country.  Credit where it is due though he did a good job.  The few questions that Nick was allowed to answer he answered without hesitation and with cool delivery.  frustration at not being allowed an opportunity to answer the vast majority of the bombardment of questions and numerous scandalous allegations must have taken a personal toll on the Chairman.  He did not show it however.  Keeping his cool and refusing to take the bait to snap that was so liberally strewn around him.

BNP Leader “Will be Invited Back onto Question Time” is the headline on the party website.  It is a good read and tells the story of audience rigging and prompting that reduces the BBC’s flagship debating program to the level of gutter entertainment which only compares to the ‘journalism’ published in the ‘Sport’ newspaper.  Integrity is not a commodity easily earned and the Question Time program will not regain its previous level until our Mr Griffin has once again sat at the table of the top panel on British television and this time, been afforded the dignity and respect that a top politician is duly entitled.

The question of, “Who came off best"?” only has one answer.  The publicity that has been achieved by the British National Party has projected us into the public realm in a way that we have never previously enjoyed.  The media barriers are undoubtedly being broken down.  When this continues to a lower level and the Councillors of the party can get their comments printed in local press outlets with a similar frequency to that enjoyed by the opposition parties then a great day will have dawned.

Question time debacle – news roundup

I am somewhat amused by the furore over the appearance of British National Party Chairman Nick Griffin on the Question Time television program.

I would like to assure readers with feint hearts that the world is not about to end and that the sun will indeed rise ob Friday.  There may be a little cloud or even rain but we of the British National Party have no policy or control over the weather.

No matter what people may tell you!

The whole question of whether or not Nick, as both Chairman of the party and a democratically elected (and don’t they hate that?) Member of the European Parliament, should be allowed onto the Question Time program is moot.  This is recognised by the Press Association whose poll shows that the people who really matter, the voters, think so as well.

Writing for the Daily Mail Melanie Phillips has written a well thought out piece, from her point of view, throughout which she inserts her own views into the piece.  As a columnist she has every right to do this.  It is kind of the point but in my own view she has laid it on a bit thick in this piece.

I do however have an issue with her conclusion which she interestingly sub-titles ‘Bigotry’: -

The liberal intelligentsia has put the BNP's rise down to the bigotry and imbecility of ordinary people.

Having turned patriotism from a civic virtue into a racial crime, however, it is that elite which has driven thousands of decent, patriotic British people, both white and dark-skinned, to supporting the BNP.

This is because it appears to be the only party (except for UKIP, which is seen to be a single issue, anti-European organisation) that allows them to uphold such a belief.

What a terrible indictment  -  that the only party which allows people to express their patriotism is one that exploits and manipulates such feelings for other, unsavoury, ends.

The mainstream parties seem principally concerned to demonstrate their own virtue by competing to be the loudest to denounce the BNP as vile and despicable.

This, however, conceals a devastating reality  -  that the people who are truly responsible for the rise of the BNP by abandoning and demonising the ordinary decent people of Britain are none other than themselves.

My issue is the sub-title itself.  The tone of the piece is such to affirm for the casual reader that the British National Party is ‘bigoted’ whereas in truth we are not.  The bigotism is demonstrated by the establishment by their refusal to recognise their own indigenous population.

The Times has a dig at the party by claiming in their headline that, “BNP launches online assault on ethnic-minority Question Time panellists.”  The opening paragraph of the piece sets the scene: -

The British National Party has launched an online assault on the two ethnic-minority members of the BBC Question Time panel who will take on Nick Griffin, the party’s leader, this week.

only for the truth to out itself at the very beginning of the second paragraph where they admit that it is a poster in the comments section who has said something that they take issue with.  Even commenters on the British National Party website can make headlines in The Times these days.  What is this newspaper coming to?

It is left to Nick Griffin himself to say something sensible which he is reported as doing in The Mail: -

Large numbers of Sikh, Hindu and other ethnic minority voters support the British National Party's hard-line anti-immigration stance, its leader Nick Griffin claimed today.

But he said the BNP's purpose remained to stand up for 'indigenous Brits' which did not include ethnic minorities, even those born here who had fought for their country in the armed forces.

He also declared that 'Islam and our society don't mix' and said he wanted to swap 'the very large number' of al Qaeda-supporting British Muslims for former Gurkhas and their families.

Nick goes on to talk more sense about Islam and Inter Race marriages.

Over on the BBC website Peter Hain warns that the BNP debate is ‘Illegal’.  Oh dear me.  Anyone out there who can upset this man has a redeeming feature in my book.  To some he is remembered as being forefront in the opposition to apartheid.  Fair enough.  He should be remembered as being the idiot who threw glass onto the playing surface of the international rugby pitch when a game against South Africa was due to be played.  This is much more the mark of the man.

Ballerina Simone Clarke cannot escape publicity even in her private life.  As the former principal dancer with the English National Ballet this is not entirely unexpected.  Couple this with her sterling work for the Solidarity trades union and well…

Her crime you may well ask?  Apparently Simone has gone on to teach dancing.  Neither illegal nor torrid but the Daily Mail cannot see the problems in the world and therefore needs to fill the space.  Far too much of which is taken up by a picture of  left wing ‘campaigners’ outside the Coliseum.

For my own part I am looking forward to the program on Thursday as I am sure is Nick.

On Friday morning however I still expect the sun to rise.

Have you ever rang the school?

If you have then you may have been answered by the dreaded machine.  I bet you did not receive a response quite like this one though.

The authenticity of the recording may or may not be questionable but it certainly made me smile and for that reason alone I include it today.

I have previously been a school governor and sympathise completely with any teachers and assistants out there who would like to record such a message for their own schools.

Exposing extremism

I came across the video below on the Nationalist blog Epping Forest Residents who are using it as a reason to oppose a ‘place of worship’ which their councillors are campaigning against.

I am using it for a slightly different reason.

It has often been the excuse used by the media journalists and their Socialist-Marxist friends on the left of British politics that they are combating right wing extremism by refusing the British National Party a platform within their media outlets.

This is pure bullshit of course.  In truth what they have been doing is vilifying political opponents for the purpose of excluding the British National Party from the public realm so that our policies and ideas could not be seen by the public.  The intention was that the only real alternative to the Lib/Lab/Con political tricksters would remain unknown to the public.

As the video above clearly demonstrates.  The best way to combat extremism is to inform the people as to the threat within.

The left wing journalists and Socialist-Marxist cranks are going into overdrive with Nick Griffins appearance on question time coming ever nearer.  They are in no doubt what so ever that rather than combating extremism they are shitting themselves that the chairman of the British National Party is going to sit on the question time panel and be allowed to answer questions.  Even a biased and hand picked audience will not be able to mask the insight and intelligence of the Nationalist position on whatever topics are brought up.

Political correctness – Read this and weep!

Surveillance, Gordon Brown, Repatriation and the The Economy

There seems to be a lot in the news today on the subject of the surveillance of Muslims.  I have no problem at all with the services which keep an eye on the security of the state watching anyone that they view as a threat.  If they are admitting that this is the Muslim community then so be it.

It is inevitable that non extremists will be watched as well as actual terrorists in training but if surveillance is the price that has to be paid to keep us safe from extremists then leave the security services alone.  If you want to find suicide bombers then you have to look for them.

Gordon Brown is not having a good time in the press lately as most of his own party seems to be queuing up to have a go at him personally and his ideas.  he has tried to deflect some of this by deflecting the attention onto the police, doctors and social workers who unlike him are amongst the hardest working members of professional society.

The Iraqi army has decided that it does not like the repatriation of its own nationals from the UK and turned them around at their destination.  Is this the portent of things to come?  Only time will tell.

The economy attracts the attention of Polly Toynbee today as she makes the claim, “If ever there was a time for an emergency super-tax, it's now”.

Wearing her political credentials on her shoulder with pride polly launches this tirade on wealth from the position of a champagne socialist in such a manner as makes me reach for a bucket.

The fact of the matter, unpalatable as it is, remains that wealthy people can move themselves and their businesses around with an ease that leaves the mere mortals agog.  The super tax that she proposes would harm the economy.  I do not like it but it is a fact that I have to accept.  Polly does not like it but it is a fact that she can use to launch an attack on people as middle class as she is whilst sounding like one of the ‘brothers’ for the left wingers amongst her readership.

Sickened by fan and media circus surrounding celebrity deaths

It is a tragedy greater than any other for any family or group of friends when one of their number passes away.  Celebrity, politician, hated or worshipped it makes no difference.

The circus that surrounded the death of Michael Jackson sickened me.  The same appears to be happening over Steven Gately.  Fans are so into these distractions from everyday life that they mob commentators who have differing opinion as is shown in an article in the Guardian.

The media is so sincere in their desire to divert the attention of the masses from the real news which should give them great concern and instead direct their attention to the spectacle which the passing of a celebrity has become.

The nation will be far better served by its media news outlets when they no longer regard themselves as part of the entertainment and concentrate on the quality and accuracy of their reporting of matters which affect the lives of their viewers.

This is the way forward

Community politics does not get the priority that it deserves within party publications and it is nice to see the article, “MEPs offices are keeping in touch” on the main website.  The public needs to know that their elected representatives, especially the British National Party ones with the bad press we experience, are performing their duties properly and handling the problems of their respective constituents.

I have never met Tina Wingfield but I have come across Cllr Chris Beverly on a number of occasions.  I know that he works hard, I know that he helps others within the party and certainly does his ward work with more than due diligence.

I am sure that the same is true of many other elected representatives within the party but it would be nice if we told the public.

ECHR Vs British National Party

With regard to the ongoing court case over the membership criteria of the British National Party I think that they have scored something of an own goal.

I just left the following comment on Simon Darby’s blog on the post Be Careful What You Wish For

I am coming around to the way of thinking that the ECHR does not like us Simon but I am not one to bear a grudge.  Why should I when they have done us a favour of such magnitude!

This is several years of party development condensed into a few short months.

The old stack of sticks that the left used to burn to generate their smoke without fire on subjects such as holocaust, violence, non performing councillors etcetera ad nauseum have been muted over time as they have been held up to public scrutiny and proven untrue.

Membership changes have been discussed within the party more and more over the last few years and were in the wind anyway.  Realistically it was only a matter of when.  By focusing all of our minds on the issue and clarifying the matter, especially in such a public manner, they have scored an own goal that outsize's Gordon browns 'British jobs for British workers' by some magnitude.

They have kindly seen to it that the entire electorate knows about it as well and guaranteed us untold publicity for the coming months.

Thank you ECHR!

Cllr Martyn Findley.

It does seem strange quoting myself and I will not make a habit of it.

Shameful!

Shame of drunken student caught urinating on war memorial during 'Carnage' mass pub crawl is the title of the piece in today’s Daily Mail.

Philip Laing apparently is the name that his parents gave to him.

I could not possibly publish my thoughts when I first saw this image.  The names that came to mind were definitely not suitable to be used in front of either poorly children or Debbie.

My preferred punishment for this crime would make chopping off of the hand for theft seem quite tame.

Pass the magnifying glass and blunt knife please.

As a footnote: my thoughts on the people who organise events such as this are not printable either.

Buff Dudes

I know that the Nationalist readers will have seen this clip before but for the locals who view this blog and have heard of the Chippendales here is a different take on the genre.  More the MFI end of the market for sure but we in the British National Party do have a sense of humour.

Red moles, spooks, loud mouths and false flag nationalists to name but a few.

I was aware of the British National Party for quite a while before I joined.  I think that this can be said for most members and for me it was a few years back.  Even before joining I remember there was often talk of moles and other neer-do-wells within the party.

Generally speaking the various groups of people who would wish to join a political party for reasons other than to further its position in the political arena can be summed up as follows:

Red moles.

Members of left-wing organisations who join to gather information on the party and/or disrupt our activities wherever they can by telling porkpies, spreading malicious rumours and generally making themselves a bloody nuisance.

Do we have any of these at the moment?  Almost certainly I believe.  Who they are I neither know nor care for you see I follow a simple enough creed.  I have nothing to hide and I remain positive for the party.

When I want someone to discuss ideas with I have a few, a very few in fact, select individuals who are members whom I can speak to in confidence.  Should the time arise that I have any complaints I shall stick to the party hierarchy.  Moles would find me very barren ground indeed.  I have led a very quiet life and they would not glean party gossip from this source.

Moles pass on meeting times and the like but as we have nothing to hide and try very hard to get our message out there is no value in them keeping an eye on us action wise.  we do not seek violent confrontation for example so they can hardly view spying upon us as necessary.

Where moles do prosper is in the spreading of rumours to cause disunity within a branch and thereby reduce its effectiveness in promoting Nationalism.  Setting people against each other is a time served way of achieving this goal by setting ‘cliques’ of members against each other within branches destroying the said branches effectiveness that way.  I have heard of examples of this in the past.  If you think that this may be taking place tell your organiser or regional organiser and no-one else.

Spooks.

A term that I am using which I think that you will all understand to be describing operatives of our states own security service, MI5 for example.

Do they bother watching us?  Of course they do.  Let us face facts.  They would not be doing their job properly if they did not.  They probably have the odd bod who is a member as well as part of whatever else it is they are doing.  Might even make a small part of an operatives ‘identity’.  These people have to operate within society.  Might as well use us as well as keeping an eye on us.

There is nothing about us that anyone can say would destabilise society.  The government is doing that, we are trying to stabilise the country!  We will never know who these people are so do not worry about it.

Loud mouths.

I bet you have met one or two of these if you have been in the party any length of time.  They put plenty of money over the bar, pop pennies into the collection, and make a lot of noise about Nationalism being the way forward, but they never quite get around to lifting their useless arseholes from the comfort of their own homes to do anything about it.  Worse yet.  They hardly ever listen to a speaker at meetings but remain convinced that they are an authority on every topic,  especially with a beer or three inside them.

These are the lunatics who inadvertently damage the party image within the community.  Thankfully few in number but a menace non-the-less.

Who pays any attention to a know all beer monster?  No-one, but they will tar associates with the same brush and these people are rather loud and proud about having a British National Party membership card in their wallet.

There is precious little that we can do to change these people but for my own part I would like to see every single meeting held in a venue without a bar.

In some areas it may be that branches can only find space at pubs/clubs but I would encourage those groups to look around.  I have been asked before, “but Martyn how many of these people do you think would come if there was no bar?” and I have answered “I do not know but if they are only here for the bar we can do without them anyway.”  Harsh but true.  I would rather speak to a slightly smaller crowd of dedicated people.  I also find it rather annoying when I see busy bar all evening and a meagre collection total is announced.

False flag nationalists.

People who despise red moles and their malicious skulduggery as much as the rest of us do but have ulterior motives of their own.

These people purport to be Nationalists and share some ground with us but there may not be a party in the area that they feel they can join.  They join the British National Party as a learning curve.  How many organisers of other parties such as the English Democrats for example learnt how to ‘do’ an election in the British National Party?  They join, they learn, they try to split the branch when they leave to join/form another party.  These people may claim to despise the reds but to us they are every bit as bad.

I have given you a few thoughts of my own about some people without which the party would campaign (that is the purpose of a political party after all) much more effectively.

I would be interested to read your comments …

Oh shit!

The argument on global warming is over folks.  Fun while it lasted but despite the best attempts of the researchers, producers and correspondents in the media we can now gratefully draw a line underneath the whole sorry affair.

I have heard it said before and in other places but this link to the BBC website asks the question What happened to global warming?  It begins: -

This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.

And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.

So what on Earth is going on?

1998! Look at all of the fraudulent green taxes that we have put up with since then.

Can we have our money back please?

Cutbacks

We all understand that in the current economic climate there is a need for cutbacks in government spending and I am certain that this is going to be the case for rather a long time.  I would go as far as to say that the economic model of this country does not need tweaking, remodelling, and certainly inflating either credit or asset bubbles will do nothing positive for us.  Given a choice of the things in life that are so important that they must be preserved we would of course all choose foreign language translation services.  Or at least the Home Office seems to think so.

I had a few minutes spare today so I went to pick up our two youngest from the school bus.  What did we see on the pavement but a glossy book in Polish.  This quite thick full colour glossy book clearly from looking at its cover gives advice upon a range of weighty subjects.  Curious as I am, buggeracious as some would undoubtedly say, I brought it home and Google mooched the home office reference number.  Low and behold the following appeared: – Home Office booklet

Looking up and down the document it is the same forty page document that I have in front of me so time for some translation I think.  I found a translator and entered the introduction and the text underneath is what I came up with.  Before you read it I have not rearranged the text in any way at all.  I assume that the Polish language is constructed differently to ours and the translation is somewhat literal: -

This brochure explains what you do in order to
reduce the risk becoming victim of a crime. By introducing some of appearing here simple suggestions, you can increase its safety and to secure his own house, the family
and cattle.

It should be noted that most offences committed is against property material and not people and that, in most areas crime rate falls.

Most offences is acts "under the influence pulse', often in the reaction to the open window or visible valuable objects.

Many of suggested here of remedial measures is due to common sense, they may however be of great importance. In securing his own house and property can be saved the many problems and expenditure, as well as contribute to creating a safer and better area for the whole Community.

Curiosity sated I now know that no matter how bad things get I can continue my national servitude safe in the knowledge that the recently arrived need not bother to learn my language and that their cattle will be safer for it.

When you take into account the number of documents that may need translation, the number of languages into which they may need translating and the high quality of the printing of this particular booklet I would guess that the total bill nationally will be one hundred percent higher than it would if I were in charge of it.  One hundred percent I hear you ask?  Yes, I am quite comfortable with that.

Local consultations – my views

Earlier today I sent the following press release to the local newspaper.  They do not normally print me so I thought that I might post it here so that you can read it in full.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultation fever has gripped the Borough with no less than three on the go at the same time.  The proposed new Academy and school closures in Stockingford, the Borough council response to the Regional Spatial Strategy and the Fire Service review.  I do wonder how many of these consultations are merely box ticking exercises for a government protocol.

With regards to the closure of the two schools in Stockingford and construction of the resultant academy I have considerable reservations.  I have been a permanent fixture at the public meetings held at Alderman Smith school and have witnessed the same tired reasons paraded remorselessly.  Despite the protestations of governors, staff, parents and pupils no alternatives have been brought forward to settle the protesters concerns.

Manor Park and Alderman Smith schools have over the past three years shown consistent and considerable improvement which is entirely down to the dedication and hard work of the governors and staff who were in place at the time.  It would have been nice to see this continue rather than forcibly replacing the elected governing body with an unelected one appointed by the County Council and over which the parents will have no control at all. 

The information came out at the public meeting on 7th October at Alderman Smoth school that across the county of Warwickshire there are more than the accepted number of available school places.  Closing a school in Nuneaton will bring this number back within 'acceptable' parameters.  Nuneaton takes the pain and the remainder of the county breaths easily.

No notice has been taken of effect that the Regional Spatial Strategy will have on demographics which, though currently in consultation stage the Borough Council has been left in no doubt as to the fact that the provision is compulsory and we only get to decide where and not how many homes will be forced into the borough.  I am sure that you get the theme here.  These forced additional homes will not just affect us with our own increase of more than 10,000 new homes but including the 'overspill' from Coventry the number may be as high as 15,000.  I cannot believe that these homes will not contain any children.  This massive increase in the size of the borough has not however been taken into consideration in the school figures.

Marion Plant, head of the North Warwickshire College is to be congratulated for leading her team to their 'Outstanding' rating by the OFSTED inspectors.  This is really difficult to achieve and just as hard to maintain because you have to show improvement to maintain it.  They also have input into educational provision at every school in the borough and are the main educational partner for George Elliot school.  Marion and her team are the only  potential educational sponsor for the academy and have insisted repeatedly that they did not come forward and bid for it.  They were asked to take it because no-one else came forward.  It is my belief that the team of Governors and managers will be spread too thin on the ground to do the job as effectively as they would like and therefore should not be taking the project forward at all.

In response to my statement above at the recent public meeting Mrs Plant gave out the information that arrangements and people had already been put in place at the college in preparation for the academy.  A head teacher has already been engaged as well.  This all seems to me to be too much happening while the process is in its 'consultation phase'.  The County Council is pushing too hard on this and has of course offered no option to turn the proposals down.  Exactly how many signatures/letters does it take.  I will come back to that.

Information was released by Ed Balls, Schools Secretary, on 22nd september that 30% of existing academies fail to meet the requirement of 30%+ pupils achieving 5 A* to C grades in GCSE's.  Both of the schools that it is proposed to close are already above that target with a markedly upward trend.  Bear in mind that at the Conservative party conference Shadow Schools Secretary Michael Gove said that with days of a Conservative government, "all state schools would be able to opt for Academy status and free themselves from local authority control."

The Fire Service consultation scares me.  This time the County Council are proposing to close seven fire stations all together and leave us 100 firefighters short of the number that we already have.  How often do you read in this paper that fire crews have had to dash off to a fire in another area and that our towns were subsequently covered by Atherstone?  Not any more if they get their way!

There are some terrific facts in the consultation document such as that 43% of retained fire engines may not be available currently due to insufficient crewing.  So by his own evidence we need more crews not less!  A recently revealed risk assessment has shown that their own figures do not add up for public safety.  The wording of the consultation is clearly designed to elicit agreement and is then followed on with a touchy feely question about how that makes you feel.  Aah bless.  This ticks more beaurocratic boxes than I can count but it does not provide you with an effective means of turning over the 'proposal' to leave you with vastly reduced fire cover.

It is not sufficient anymore apparently just to disagree with a consultation.  You are now expected to suggest an alternative.  Time for us all to get trained as a Chief Fire Officer then maybe?  Do not forget the crystal ball training.  Figures are necessarily based upon the past.  This proposal knows what will happen tomorrow.  I also notice that your responses must be sent to Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service.  Great, apart from the fact that they are not going to make any decisions on the matter.  Your recently elected County Councillors will do that.

I have had a better idea.  Why do we not get our elected councillors from Borough and County level to contact every single one of Warwickshire County Council's controlling Conservative group and argue with/encourage them directly to make them understand that being sure that we are safe in our beds at night is by definition far more important to us than some of the other projects that the county council spends money on within the community.  If they do not believe us all that they have to do is provide a long list of projects that they fund and we will put them in our order of priority.  I am not a betting man but I think that Fire and Rescue would be at or near the top.

Much has been made of Councillors collecting signatures in the town centres on all of these consultations both in the local newspapers and on social networking sites.  I have seen it said that this is not political.  Rubbish!  The Labour party brought in and continues to support the expansion of the academy scheme and the Conservative party has pledged to expand it even quicker.  Across the country reviews of services have taken place that have been just as unpopular as this one.  The councillors from these two parties represent parties who agree completely on most things these days and therefore can neither disagree politically nor make too much noise for fear of the wrath of head office.  The campaigning that you have seen has all been self publicity to make themselves appear hard working and concerned.  This has been done by politicians who want to be seen by the public to be campaigning on their behalf.  Campaigning both in the local newspapers and on social networking websites only helps their personal political profile, not the issue.

The time that has been spent leafleting and collecting signatures by councillors on both issues would have utilised much more effectively if they had instead spent it trying to contact and apply pressure to the Conservative County Councillors from the whole of Warwickshire for support to overturn these proposals.  That is the only effective method of changing things, behind the scenes!  This is what elected representatives are for.

What happens to a petition?  Massive publicity for the party that does the campaign, a chance for everyone in politics to gain exposure on the issues and clap each other on the backs for achieving cross partry agreement.  So great benefits for the public profile of the politicians but what actually happens to the petition once it has been handed in infront of a photographer of course on the council steps?  Not a lot.  Fact, petitions are not a part of the decision making process!

Councillors make up their own minds as to what they think is best on any issue.  This is what they are elected for.  Then they listen to the opinion of the officers of the council very closely.  County Council officer Mark Gore stood at the front of the public meeting and stated that in the face of what the speakers had said he, "remained un-convinced.  I am convinced that a school needs to close."  These are the words of the county council officer who will be advising the Conservative cabinet of Warwickshire County Council who have a massive majority of seats and is controlled largely be councillors from the south.  In this borough we have plenty of experience of the ramifications of that position.  They then look at the politics of the situation and make their decision.  Having recently won an overwhelming majority they are not worried.  Petitions allow campaigning politicians to look good in public before the petition, and sometimes the politicians themselves, gather dust prior to disposal.  petitions form no part of the decision making process unless the issue is massive and only then if there is an election pending.

In case you have not noticed these issues are being pushed just after the elections but as soon as possible after so as not to adversely effect the general election campaigns.

Borough Council leader Peter Gilbert this week had a full page spread in the Nuneaton News asking people to give three minutes to sign a petition and tell others.  Great campaigning for him but ineffective for the issue and he knows it.  I do hope that the taxpayer did not pay for that political advertising.  I will leave you by asking you to spend three minutes doing something useful.  E-mail all of your local councillors at Borough and County level TELLING THEM to campaign directly to the controlling group on your behalf.  This is their job after all.  You might as well get some use out of them.

Cllr Martyn Findley.
British National Party.

Bear with me folks

It is something that I have played pretty close to my chest but for the past two weeks I have been on holiday with the family.  I was sorely tempted before I left to put a post up explaining why there would be no posts for a couple of weeks.

The fact of the matter is that I live in the middle of the ward that I represent and there has been quite a burglary problem in the Nuneaton area.  It is a problem that Warwickshire Police have done a lot of work on but all the same I did not see the point in advertising to the world that this house would be empty for a fortnight.

Since returning yesterday I have looked at my personal e-mail address and have over two hundred e-mails to sort through.  There is also my Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council e-mail address to sort through as well.  There are council matters which I must update myself on, public meetings that I must prepare for and ward work that I must check out.   All this on top of the day to day stuff that being a councillor brings anyway.

Blogging is an activity that I enjoy because it allows me to put across to people such as yourselves, some of whom are my constituents while others are just interested, what I think about matters that will almost certainly never gain press coverage.

I am back off holiday and normal blogging service will be resumed but it will be intermittent for a while.  As the title says folks…

Please bear with me!
