Further to last month’s Identity editorial on the problems that seem to be holding back white boys’ education, a Times Educational Supplement article quoted a Manchester University report that said white working class boys are under-performing badly at school, but they do not get the grants immigrant groups receive because they are not black or Muslim. It added that the government is refusing to divert funds to assist them and instead is using the money to assist the children of recent immigrants to learn English.

The Manchester University academics conducted a detailed case study in an unnamed, deprived inner city, which received a “disproportionate” level of funding to tackle inequality. Money was being targeted at pupils with English as an additional language, but “white learners from highly disadvantaged backgrounds were reportedly often overlooked”, they said. One local authority officer told researchers that other much more disadvantaged white areas were losing out because “white poverty and underachievement aren’t as headline grabbing or sexy”.

The Manchester University research shows that the Labour government and teaching unions have been involved in a racist conspiracy of silence to abandon a generation of white working class children to the educational scrapheap for fear of offending the rules of political correctness. As stated last month on the BNP website, this is an issue the BNP has publicised for years, yet every time we mention it we are accused of racism. Black and other ethnic groups have lobby groups operating in our society to represent their community and are not called racist, but when whites do the same they are accused of racism. This is the pernicious reverse racism that infects the media and political system of this country.

Nick talks about the problems in Keighley.

Next month will see the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome. Remember that? It was supposed to be a European organisation of economic co-operation, which most of us supported, and has now mutated into a bureaucratic, embryonic superstate overriding the democratic governments of the European nations.

Germany now takes over the presidency of the European Council and its Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has indicated that she wants to use this to set a timetable for the signing of the sixth and final stage of the innocent sounding “Constitutional Treaty”, which Merkel hopes will be known as the Berlin Declaration.

If it is signed the fate of a sovereign Britain and the other nations of Europe will be sealed and delivered before the next European Elections due in June 2009. We will all be submerged into the EU federal “superstate” and cease to exist as separate and distinct nations and political entities.

That is why the EU has been promoting the division of Great Britain into the new regions for which we already vote in the Euro Elections. The question should also be asked whether those so-called Scots and Welsh Nationalists realise that they are not really doing the Scots and Welsh any long-term good. Because their power – and English Nationalists please note – to have any major effect in Brussels will be far less than that of a united Britain. The BNP, of course, is fully in support of the Scots and Welsh assemblies to deal with domestic affairs, as long as the people still want them.

The good news is that a nationalist spanner has been thrown into the EU’s works with the formation of a European Nationalist grouping to defend “European identity” in the face of growing numbers of immigrants and the erosion of national sovereignty. “We want to uphold European tradition and yet remain modern”, Bruno Golinisch, the leader of the Identity, Tradition and Sovereignty(ITS) group, told the European parliament. The ITS Group is made up of nationalist party MEPs from France’s Front National, and other parties in Austria, Belgium, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, plus Mr Ashley Mote, the independent MEP representing South East England.

By forming an EU political grouping, ITS qualifies for up to £800,000 this year for its campaigns in European elections as well as access to parliament’s legislative and procedural committees. Not surprisingly, the Centre-Right European People’s Party – to which the British Conservatives are affiliated – and the Socialists, including Labour MEPs, are tabling procedural objections. Also, all parliamentary groups including the UK Independence Party are pledged to vote against ITS resolutions or candidates for parliamentary positions. So much for UKIP’s bogus patriotism. The fact they are now going to vote against a group whose principles are for European Christianity, tradition and national sovereignty shows the true nature of its leadership.

Homosexual and lesbian supporters of the BNP will know that I have long supported past legislation that removed the criminalisation once associated with their choice of life-style. So much so that I have been accused by some homophobics of being a closet member. My view is the BNP view: don’t ask and don’t talk about it.

Therefore, I hope any such readers will not be offended by my choice of heading: a heading prompted by the extensive media coverage given to the “wedding” of the Little Britain star Matt Lucas to Kevin McGee. My objection was not to the homosexual great and the good disporting themselves in fancy dress at the gay nuptials, but to the affect this has on our youth in particular, some still searching for their own sexuality, who accept it all as a normal alternative life-style. The sniggering vulgarian Graham Norton is certainly not my favourite TV personality, but we can all accept the wit of Paul O’Grady and the musical talent of Elton John. Incidentally, it was not really surprising to see a bewigged Ben Elton in attendance.

The promotion of homosexuality is all rather reminiscent of one of Anthony Burgess’s earlier novels, The Wanting Seed (a copy of which was recently sent to me by an anonymous Identity reader). Its theme is an over-populated world of the future where food is in great shortage. The setting is an almost totally urbanised, multiracial England, where a viciously authoritarian government takes savage steps to curtail the birth-rate, including the widespread encouragement of homosexuality. Not surprising that today’s literary world will still push Burgess’s Clockwork Orange but make no mention of The Wanting Seed.

Evidence of the latest promotion of homosexuality comes with the fact that controversial new gay rights laws are being bulldozed through parliament despite protests from Churches and other groups. According to the Daily Telegraph, 21.11.06 the Sexual Orientation Regulations, now being fast-tracked in Northern Ireland, would prevent gays or lesbians being discriminated against in the “provision of goods and services”. This could include being turned away from a hotel or a shop but might also require schools to give equal prominence in sex education classes to both homosexual and heterosexual practices.
