Just imagine, if you will, that you’ve just landed a really plum job. This job pays a salary of over £60,000 per annum and has attached to it what many regard to be the best pension plan in the country.

In addition, the job comes with expenses claiming facilities covering everything from travel to accommodation and doesn’t even require you to produce receipts for claimed items under £250. To really put the icing on the cake your “company” only operates a 100 working day year and it’s entirely up to you how many of those 100 days for which you actually turn up to the “office.”

Furthermore, the company takes your word for it that you need a second home, and doesn’t even question the fact that your family home is actually within easy commuting distance of the “office”. And when you start billing the “company” for mortgage interest, council tax, gas, electricity, water, phone, decorating and grocery bills – they reimburse you without question up to around £24,000 per annum! 

Not only that – but if you are finding your workload somewhat onerous, then the “company” allows you to employ your spouse, siblings, offspring, mistress, rent boys or best friends and will will pay their wages as well. 

And, the cherry on the cake, so to speak, is when you decide to part company with the “firm”, not only do they give you a handsome golden handshake by way of financial “compensation” but they also allow you to sell the property paid for largely out of expense claims and to pocket ever penny of profit made on the sale! And the name of this company – well it’s called The House of Commons!

A BNP Government will radically change this set of rules, and make parliamentarians work proper hours, be accountable in every way and ensure that full financial transparency in all aspects of public life is maintained.

As an aside, the British National Party has been exposing, for at least the last two years, the Parliamentary practice of MPs employing friends and family as “researchers” or “constituency workers”.

During that time a number of well meaning people have taken us to task by claiming that we were exaggerating the scale of the problem. To those people in particular, could we now point you in the direction of an article that has appeared in today’s edition of the London Evening Standard that includes (at the end) an insert that we believe vindicates our stance?

Blatant, vicious, open anti-White discrimination in the heart of London.

You didn’t think it was possible? Well, it is. An advertisement for a Press Internship with Transport London has been advertised – but only ethnic minorities are allowed to apply, and Whites are specifically banned from the job.

The advertisement, which you can find here, says that the job offers “work experience in one of the busiest press offices in the UK, highlighting transport issues across our Capital.”

The job is for “Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Students” and continues: “We are offering two six-month internships starting in March 2008. If you are a student or a recent graduate of Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME) origin, with a passion for London and an interest in media and PR, we would like to hear from you.”

The training which a suitable candidate will get is described as follows: “You will get essential skills to start a career in PR. Based in one of the country’s five busiest press offices, you will get a sense of what working in a high-pressured PR environment is like. You will get essential skills to start a career in PR.

You’ll work on stories and events affecting the Capital’s transport network and gain a range of experience from writing press releases and dealing with journalists to working with different types of media.

You will also get:

* a bursary to cover subsistence and living expenses

* free travel in London

* mentoring.”

It continues: “To be eligible to apply for this role you must be

* a permanent resident of the United Kingdom 

* ideally of graduate calibre (with ‘A’ levels or equivalent), an undergraduate or recent graduate. Similar qualifications from outside the UK will be considered

* able to demonstrate an interest in media and PR

* able to show a passion for London and current affairs in general. 

The TfL Press Office Internship Scheme is advertised under section 37 of the Race Relations Act 1976. For the purposes of this advert, BAME refers to people who are of African, African-Caribbean, Asian or Chinese ethnic origin.”

So there you have it. Native British people are officially discriminated against, in their own capital city. This is the logical end result of the evil, anti-White policies of successive Labour and Tory governments.

The time is coming soon when these traitors will be held responsible for their crimes, and the phrase a “hung parliament” might yet take on a new meaning.

Everyone has heard of Stephen Lawrence . . . the BBC and other national media gave huge prominence to that incident, and have tried to create the impression in the public’s mind that it is only ethnic minorities who are victims, and that it is Whites who are always “racist” attackers.A quick round up of some recent local stories, give lie to this assertion, and also show just how biased the BBC and other national media are – for if any one of the incidents below involved ethnics being the victims, you can be assured that it would have been national news.

Gang attack on pregnant teen

TWO teenage girls – one pregnant – were victims of what police describe as an ‘unprovoked and cowardly attack’ and were robbed of a mobile phone by a gang of Asian heritage youths.

Both were taken to hospital after the attack and police are appealing for the public’s help in catching those responsible for the incident.

The 17 and 18-year-old victims were outside Wavelengths in Leeds Road, Nelson, at 10-45 p.m. on Thursday when they were approached by a gang of six or seven youths of Asian appearance, aged between 16 and 18, and wearing dark, hooded clothes.

The 17-year-old is five months pregnant. In the unprovoked attack, the 18-year-old was struck repeatedly in the face and was knocked into the 17-year-old, who ended up on the ground.

DC Dave Walker, of Pennine Division’s police Hate Crime Unit, said: ‘The 18-year-old suffered severe bruising and swelling to her nose. The 17-year-old was knocked over and suffered stomach pains, but has since been given the all-clear.

‘During the incident, one of them dropped a mobile phone and that was stolen. One of the attackers picked it up.’

Vicious gang beat up woman – witness appeal

POLICE are appealing for information after a woman was attacked while walking home after a night out in Nelson.

Between 10 p.m. and 10-30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 12th, the 31-year-old was walking home when she was the victim of a violent and unprovoked assault by four men.

Her injuries were serious and included cracked ribs, facial cuts and internal bleeding. The victim was hospitalised for several days and was severely traumatised.

Three of the offenders are described as Asian males wearing dark clothes, aged in their 20s, of slim build and average height. The fourth is also described as an Asian male in his early 30s, of large build, with short dark hair wearing spectacles and sporting a full beard.

Detective Constable Kim Bradshaw said: ‘This was a despicable and completely unprovoked attack on a lone female who was simply making her way home after a night out. I realise some time has passed since the attack but I would urge the public to get in touch with the police if they know anything at all about it. I would also ask the males involved to examine their own consciences and do the right thing by coming forward to explain their actions. I can be contacted directly on GB +44 1282472190 Call or if anyone wants to remain anonymous they can contact Crimestoppers on GB +44 800555111.’

* Update: As of this morning, Pendle Today has deleted the story of the gang attack on the pregnant teen off its server, although the story still shows up on the Google News search. We are under no illusions why they have pulled the story, most probably under advice about “community relations.”

This is a story one really could not make up.

In January 2007, the Cumbria County Council gave a grant- 90% of the set up costs – of £18,000 to set up a shop called the Sameena Multicultural Community Interest Company in Middlefield.

This shop run by Meena Seville and her son Sam, was supposed to be a beacon of all things multi-cultural in Cumbria, selling “foods from all around the world.” The taxpayer-funded operation gave Seville a salary, and the profit was allegedly to go to “the community” – which we can only presume to refer to the ethnic community. Enough said.

Now, however, the shop has closed down – and Seville blames a new Polish grocer down the road for the collapse of her enterprise. Truly a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Seville said” Within two months of their opening, all my work had gone down the toilet. They pulled the rug out from under my feet.”

The new shop’s owners, two Polish migrants, denied they were responsible for the collapse of the Multi-Cultural shop, saying they just sold a few Polish products – at prices which were obviously more competitive than those of Seville.

Cumbria County Council has proudly declared the “influx” of Eastern Europeans to that region as being approximately 37,000. Now, the end result of continued mass migration from all quarters is being felt. If there is a finer example of the disastrous effect of unlimited immigration, then we have not seen it, but if you have, please let us know.

  Chancellor Alistair Darling is to give new powers to the Bank of England to mount secret rescue operations for banks requiring emergency funds. The plan is part of sweeping regulatory reforms designed to prevent a repeat of the Northern Rock debacle.Darling has also made the Bank of England’s loans to a troubled bank rank first in the queue of creditors. There will be a 12 week consultation period on the new legislation.

The tripartite system under which the FSA, the chancellor and the Bank of England work together to deal with emergencies has been criticised for failing to prevent the first run on a UK bank for more than a century. But that system is expected to remain in place under the new proposals.

The consultation is expected to discuss what amount of bank deposits should be protected. Currently, savers have the first £35,000 in each account guaranteed, but the chancellor is likely to suggest extending that.

 ”Half trained soldiers to be sent to Afghanistan” reads the newspaper headlines this morning. What a disgrace.

General Sir Richard Dannatt must demand that the decision to cut the training of Army recruits by half, — so that they can be sent to Afghanistan, as cannon fodder – be halted. The General should resign if politically overruled, and other senior officers should refuse to take his place!

It goes without saying that the ‘desk soldiers’ directly responsible for making the decision to send half trained ‘boys’ to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan, deserve to be put against a wall and shot, along with the uncaring politicians who are responsible for the Army being in this hell-hole in the first place!

It is nothing less than criminal to willfully send untrained, ill equipped young lads to a war zone where they will be facing fanatical, battle hardened zealots. They don’t stand a chance!

Whatever the manpower needs, this is plain wrong and the decision should be reversed, while there is still time. General Dannatt, please protect your young soldiers from this abuse!

Better still bring the troops home before any more British mothers have to grieve over a life cut short! And for what? To protect political egos, that’s why!

Do please read the following, which is taken from an article in todays ‘Times’: – and then complain to the M.O.D., your MP, and the media. We owe it to those young men and their families to do something proactive on their behalf!

Half-trained troops to fight the Taliban Michael Evans, Defence Editor —  Nearly 1,000 new army recruits face having their combat training cut by half so that they can be rushed to the battlefields of Afghanistan. The “exceptional” measure is being proposed by senior officers to meet a serious shortage in manpower, The Times has learnt.It would affect those infantry battalions being earmarked to fight in the country next year. One senior defence source admitted that the new recruits would not be properly qualified to fight since they would receive only 50 per cent of the basic training usually given to qualified combat infantrymen. “I would be very nervous of having to deploy with this limited level of expertise and experience in the frontline companies,” the source said. He added that such a scheme could undermine the reputation of the Army.

At present every battalion due to deploy next year is at least 100 soldiers short of the required manpower level – that is, 550 instead of 650 men. Normally soldiers being prepared for Afghanistan spend 26-28 weeks on the Army’s combat infantry course, which has a reputation for producing some of the best infantry troops in the world. However, to cope with the manpower shortages the combat infantry course would be cut to 14 weeks – even though senior planning officers involved in the proposal have acknowledged that there would be risks attached. The Ministry of Defence claimed that no decisions had been made. A spokeswoman said: “There is no question of training being compromised.” However, she added: “We have adapted our training in terms of our operational requirement and we’re taking action in terms of the manning challenges.” The Army has been facing serious manning shortfalls for some time. The trained strength should be 101,800 soldiers, but the current figure is 98,160, and there is little sign of the MoD reaching the required target. Under the new form of “accelerated training”, selected recruits would be put on a fast track into the Army and on to Afghanistan. Under the scheme the recruits would also be offered a shorter engagement – less than the normal commitment of four years. In addition those accepted would have to be over 18.The controversial proposal has emerged as the Government plans to announce today the next rotation of troops to Afghanistan. Paratroopers of 16 Air Assault Brigade, who were the first British troops to be sent to Helmand province in the south in 2006, are returning for a second tour.

A full complement of 7,800 troops will replace 52 Brigade, which deployed to Afghanistan last October. Their mission is codenamed Operation Herrick 8. The paratroopers will do six months and be replaced in October and November. However, the Army has to plan well ahead for future deployments, and with the Government’s pledge that 7,800 troops would be committed to Afghanistan until at least 2009, senior officers have been drawing up details for the two rotations for next year, Operations Herrick 10 and 11. When dealing with manpower shortages in the past, the Army has filled gaps in infantry battalions with soldiers from other regiments to ensure that they are of sufficient strength to fight a war. But for next year’s deployments to Afghanistan, officers were asked to look at exceptional measures to meet the manpower gaps. Defence sources said that once integrated into the battalions, the soldiers with the proposed shortened form of combat training could represent 60 per cent of the “bayonet strength” of each unit. Although recruitment has been improving in recent months, there has been a steady rise in the number of officers and other ranks leaving the Service early. This was highlighted this week by the Commons Defence Committee, which said that one of the main reasons for the early departures was the failure of the MoD to give soldiers enough of a break between tours. Attitude surveys carried out by the MoD have shown that soldiers have become increasingly concerned about the time spent away from home, as well as key welfare issues such as poor accommodation. However, there is little evidence that the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan has demotivated soldiers or been the main cause for putting off youngsters from joining up.Soldiers have generally welcomed the operational experience, and in 2006 while 16 Air Assault Brigade was engaging the Taleban in Helmand, applications to join the Parachute Regiment rose significantly.But many of the infantry battalions have suffered manpower shortages, including the Paras.

The MoD has had to resort to offering generous bonuses and welfare packages, such as free phone calls home when serving overseas, to try to retain troops with combat experience.

The last remaining wooden hull three masted top sail schooner in the world, the Kathleen & May, is for sale – and speculation is rife that a foreign purchaser is about to clinch the deal.Built in 1900, the Kathleen & May is the only wooden triple-masted sailing schooner still in existence. One of only 60 famous tall ships on the UK’s National Register of Historic Vessels, neighbours include the Cutty Sark and HMS Victory. Beautiful and graceful, this tall ship has been completely and sympathetically renovated to its original 1900 specification.

This important part of Britain’s maritime heritage is now up for sale, as the owner is now in poor health and is getting rather elderly. He has been trying for some time to get his pride and joy secured forever to the benefit of the British people with no success whatsoever.

It seems that there is no money available to preserve this classic and beautiful ship for our children and the nation notwithstanding the fact that we have money by the bucketful for all manner of Ethnic life enhancement programmes.

A BNP government would make the preservation of our unique historical, cultural and scientific heritage a top priority, and not the subsidising of all manner of anti-British activities. The money spent, for example, by the National Lottery helping bogus asylum seekers, or by the NHS paying for foreign births, would be more than enough to preserve this remarkable ship for the nation.

We invite you to visit the web site of the Kathleen & May, view the beautiful ship and, apply pressure to the government in any way you can, to allocate funds to save this vessel for Britain.

  The NHS is spending £350m a year to provide maternity services for foreign-born mothers, £200m more than a decade ago. Immigration has raised the birth rate so fast that some units have closed, so that midwives could be moved to areas of urgent need.A unit in Ascot, Berkshire, shut for two months in 2007 because staff had to be transferred to Slough. The NHS says it is working to “build in” the extra capacity needed.

Other maternity units have turned expectant mothers away because they could not cope with unprecedented increases in the local birth rate. When Labour came to power, the NHS spent around £1bn a year on maternity services, with one baby in eight delivered to a foreign-born mother.

Ten years on, spending has risen to £1.6bn, with almost one baby in four delivered to a mother born overseas. While the number of babies born to British mothers has fallen by 44,000 a year since the mid-1990s, the figure for babies born to foreign mothers has risen by 64,000 – a 77% increase which has pushed the overall birth-rate to its highest level for 26 years.

In central London, where six out of every 10 babies born has a foreign-born mother, senior consultants and health managers blame the lack of resources to deal with the pressures of migration for unacceptably poor standards.

Professor Philip Steer, editor of the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, said: “The Department of Health has been taken by surprise. The demographic change, the sheer numbers, has in some areas increased very substantially without there being any forward planning really to allow for that.”

The statistics go on to show that 11,000 more babies were born to a mother from the Indian sub-continent, while 8,000 extra babies had mothers born in Africa.

Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot closed its maternity unit for two months in the summer of 2007 because of an “unprecedented increase” in the local birth rate.

Midwives were moved to Wexham Park Hospital, closer to the pressure-point of Slough where in the last year staff have witnessed an extra 150 babies delivered to foreign-born mothers.

In a statement at the time, local health officials said they “reluctantly took the decision to temporarily close the delivery suite at Heatherwood Hospital for two months so we can ensure we offer mothers-to-be a safe, high quality service at Wexham Park Hospital.” The knock-on effect was experienced in nearby Reading where the local maternity unit could not cope with the extra demand.

LIVE BIRTHS BY COUNTRY OF BIRTH OF MOTHER

Births by British-born mothers down 44,000

Births by all foreign-born mothers up 64,000

Births by mothers born in Eastern Europe up 15,000

Births by mothers born in Indian subcontinent up 11,000

Births by mothers born in Africa up 8,000

Question: What is it that UKIP does better than anyone else? Answer: Money Wasting and running Bogus Petitions – both of which are things to which UKIP is addicted!

Moreover, like any Addict needing a ‘fix’, they’re at it again.

This time around the craving is for money wasting, which really does seem to be the drug of choice for UKIP – and especially so for its media front man, Nigel Farage.

So, what is the issue that has led to the latest craving to waste money? The trigger that set them off this time was the refusal by Gordon Brown to grant a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.

Take a look at the begging letter that UKIP has just sent to its members:

“…a UKIP member has issued a summons against Prime Minister Gordon Brown for breaking the implied contract between the Labour Party and the electorate about a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. The case will be heard at 10.30, Thursday, 7th February at Brighton County Court.

Funds, unfortunately, have become the bedrock of the British Judicial system. We are now requesting any donations that you feel you may be able to make in support of his case.

Also, unfortunately again, time is of the essence. All funds will be ring-fenced into a separate account controlled by a UKIP solicitor who is volunteering his time. When it is over, any excess monies will go to UKIP’s central funds. Please send cheque donations to:…”

You might be tempted to say, what is wrong with that, surely we’d all like to ‘stick one on Mr. Brown’? Alas, this is UKIP we’re talking about, and any monies donated will be wasted on yet another one of their futile publicity stunts. Donations sent in response to this ‘appeal’ will be wasted, for the very simple reason that political manifestos are not legally signed and binding agreements between MPs and the electorate.

In other words, there is no substantive case to answer, but the ‘establishment’ will be more than happy to take the money – after all, from their perspective, this is a far better use of UKIP resources than them engaging in anything remotely approaching active campaigning.

So, like a good pied piper, UKIP will get another ‘fix’, and once again, in the process, will waste yet more of its members’ money.

The cause for all this money wasting, as well as the various grandstanding stunts that UKIP has pulled over the last few years – Nigel Farage, MEP, and Party Leader.

His addiction to Money Wasting is legendary. You have to wonder how UKIP can afford him. The BNP certainly couldn’t, nor could any other political party!

Under the Leadership of Mr Farage, UKIP can best be described as a State Inspired Pied Piper, and because this is the case, we invite you step into the murky world of UKIP finances, and discover why UKIP members now have little choice but to join with the BNP, to save Britain and our way of life.

For when it comes to using money donated to his Party in order to satisfy his own ego, Nigel Farage is undoubtedly in a class of his own. Let’s examine the Farage legacy, and what it means for UKIP voters and the pro Britain anti EU body as a whole.

Nigel Farage blew £100,000 on one By-Election

Mr Farage, blew an unbelievable sum on a by-election (Bromley & Chislehurst, in May, 2006, called due to the death of the Tory MP, Eric Forth).  Obtaining 2347 votes, for 8.1% of the total votes cast.

This extraordinary expenditure was incurred for one reason, and one reason alone – its vainglorious media personality – Nigel Farage.

At the time UKIP members were told that by fighting this by-election the party had generated electoral expenses amounting to £80,000 – which was a new record for a by-election within the UK, where the usual expenditure rules, restricting the amount a candidate may spend, do not apply. Yet even this vast figure was not completely accurate!

Thanks to a recent, UKIP meeting, organised by the ‘Phoenix Group’, the latest splinter group faction within ‘UKIP’ – we have now discovered that the amount spent was actually £100,000 – in other words, nearly £43 per vote or £12,346 per percentage point attained, which is quite unbelievable – er, until one considers the candidate for that by-election – Nigel Farage, himself!

The amount of money spent (wasted), simply reflects the insatiable ego of UKIP’s leader, Nigel Farage.

Readers may recall that because UKIP was standing a high profile candidate, for the 2005 Bromley by-election, the BNP actually asked voters to hold their noses and vote for UKIP, as the only party that was – nominally at least – opposed to the EU. This request followed an appeal from several grassroots members of UKIP, who persuaded us not to split the anti-EU vote.

Had we stood, Farage would have been fortunate to retain his deposit, let alone secure a vote higher than that of the BNP.

UKIP Welsh Assembly Candidate – Dai Llewellyn

More Money Wasting: UKIP readers, especially, will also be interested to learn that even by as late as May, 2007, Nigel Farage was still in denial, and still busily engaged in Money Wasting, by the barrow load. In the Welsh Assembly Elections of May, 2007, UKIP spent a further £153,000. The result: UKIP trailed in behind the BNP, which had spent approximately £20k.

Do realise that in these elections, UKIP spent more per vote garnered than any other party, and again, achieved precisely nothing – other than to split the anti-EU vote and, in so doing, prevent the anti-EU BNP from securing elected members.

Who benefited from this? Only the EU, the BBC, the old, treacherous parties of Westminster, and possibly, one monumental ego!

There’s More: Thanks to information gleaned from the aforementioned UKIP ‘Phoenix Conference’, we also now know of one further, mind blowing example of financial extravagance, for which Nigel Farage is responsible.

As many will already know, UKIP now has a Spanish Accountant, Mrs Marta Andreasen, as its new party treasurer. Not that we have any issue with Mrs. Andreasen per se, and of course UKIP can hire whomsoever it pleases to do its accounts, But when you realise that the services of Mrs Andreasen cost UKIP somewhere in the region of £3000 per month (£36k per year?).

Quite what the office-holder does to justify such expenses remains unanswered. Especially as her predecessors customarily provided their services on a voluntary basis with, perhaps, a small retainer to cover expenses and provide a modest reward.

At a subscription fee of £20/head, it would appear that the membership fees of 1800 UKIPers are required purely to finance the Party Treasurer!

Missing Money: UKIP members would receive value for money, however, if their new party treasurer could be persuaded to launch a full audit into the remarkable disappearance of funds at both UKIP’s, infamous, Ashford Call Centre, and from the SE Regional accounts. Maybe someone could suggest this to Mrs Andresen?

At ‘Ashford’, approximately 90% of supporter’s donations disappeared into a ‘black hole’ euphemistically called, operating expenses. In the SE Region, as the Electoral Commissions’ website reveals, hundreds of thousands of pounds also disappeared in ‘other costs’. These ‘other costs’ have yet to be described. If there is nothing to hide and no impropriety of conduct, why has ‘other costs’ not been broken down into itemised expenditure, so that members of UKIP may see exactly how their hard earned cash is being spent – or wasted.

The reason that this matters to all of us is this: UKIP has become little more than a state sponsored cul-de-sac, maintained in a condition of permanently arrested development. It soaks up colossal financial resources from well-meaning anti-EU sources, resources which could be much better employed elsewhere, and it channels the activities of its supporters, along with their donations, into a dead end. More importantly, it splits the anti-EU vote.

Armed with a fraction of UKIP’s financial resources and its EU funded research department, the BNP would have drawn far more blood from the Lib/Lab/CON alliance in the EU, Westminster, in Wales and in numerous councils up and down the country than we have been able to achieve thus far.

Finally, to those members and supporters of UKIP who are reading this article, we would merely reflect that if you want more ‘bang for your buck’ support the BNP. Don’t waste further time and cash on a State sponsored pied piper, UKIP, or the egoists and deadbeats who lead it.”

Whilst you decide, the BNP will of course continue to maintain the closest of links with many UKIP activists, constantly creating new, informal alliances, where local UKIP members agree not to stand against the BNP – despite the endeavours of the likes of Nigel Farage, Piers Merchant and ‘Searchlight’ to prevent them.

Unfortunately, the leadership is so betoken to the politically-correct mantra of multiculturalism, which it supports, without exception, that it makes any formal alliance – for the moment – quite impossible.

 Britain is in danger of becoming a “surveillance state” as authorities launch bugging operations against 1,000 people a day. Councils, police and intelligence services are tapping and intercepting the phone calls, emails and letters of hundreds of thousands of people every year, an official report said.The report, by Sir Paul Kennedy, the Interception of Communications Commissioner, has fuelled fears that Britain is becoming a state where private communications are routinely monitored.

The report shows that in the last nine months of 2006, there were 253,557 applications to intercept private communications under surveillance laws. It is understood that most were approved.

A total of 653 state bodies are able to intercept personal calls and emails

Those being bugged include people suspected of illegal fly-tipping as councils use little known powers to carry out increasingly sophisticated surveillance to catch offenders.

In that period 122 local authorities sought to obtain people’s private communications in more than 1,600 cases. Councils are among more than 600 public bodies with the power to monitor people’s private communications.

It also found that more than 1,000 of the bugging operations were flawed. In some cases, the phones of innocent people were tapped simply because of administrative errors.

Sir Paul, a senior judge with access to secret intelligence material, also reported 1,088 incidents where public bodies broke the rules on surveillance operations.

His report covers interception activities over a total of 264 days, during which time new applications for interception were made at a rate of 960 each day.

This did not include warrants personally issued by the Foreign Secretary and the Northern Ireland Secretary – thought to be several thousand – which are kept secret.

Britain already has more CCTV cameras per person than any other country in the world.

At the same time, Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith has introduced the Counter Terrorism Bill 2008, which allocates £45m for over 70 local authorities over the “The Government’s first priority is to protect our citizens. We are facing an unprecedented threat from terrorism in this country and are determined to take whatever action is necessary to protect the public from future attacks,” she said, ignoring the fact that it is her party’s insane “open doors” asylum and mass immigration policy, combined with the illegal and immoral war in Iraq which is the ultimate cause of this terrorism. (Remember the Glasgow airport bombers and the would-be London bombers of last year? They were Iraqi “asylum seekers” fleeing Labour’s war in Iraq.)

The Counter Terrorism Bill 2008 includes proposals to:

* Provide a power to increase the time terror suspects can be held before charge in future if exceptional circumstances require it; (in other words, detention without trial. Hold on, was this not what Labour objected to in Apartheid South Africa?)

* Enable post-charge questioning of terrorist suspects; (a sneaky way of saying further detention without trial);

* Enhance sentences for terrorism-motivated general offences;

* Strengthen the monitoring arrangements for convicted terrorists and prevent them from foreign travel where necessary; and

* Ensure full use can be made of DNA in terrorism investigations.

George Orwell only missed one thing in his predictions – he could not have foreseen the disastrous effects of demographic change and its implications for Britain.

  Derek Conway, as practically everyone in the country now knows, is the Conservative MP for Old Bexley and Sidcup – although now that the Tory whip has been withdrawn, it may be more accurate to describe him as an independent! One little matter that the media, in probing certain aspects of his parliamentary allowances and expenses claiming activities, appear to have overlooked is that of his remarkable record in claiming Parliament’s Additional Costs Allowance (ACA).

According to the published figures the Honourable Member claimed £22,060 (2006/7), £21,634 (2005/6), £20,902 (2004/5), £20,333 (2003/4), £19,722 (2002/3) and £18,009 (2001/2) – making a grand total of £122,660 claimed in just six years! 

We should stress at this point that this is all perfectly legal of course. But, we have to ask, why does the Honourable Member NEED to claim any ACA at all?  

We’ll explain. ACA was originally set up to reimburse the expenditure incurred by MPs representing constituencies so remote from The House that daily commuting was not a viable option; meaning that such MPs have no choice but to pay out for their bed and board whilst attending Parliament.

The creation of this provision, for that purpose, is reasonable in our opinion.

But the problem is that Parliament has not set any criteria – meaning that any MP – except those representing INNER LONDON constituencies – can claim it; relying on the Honourable members to be – well – honourable, by not abusing the privilege.  

Typically MPs claiming this money use it to allay expenses in the renting and purchase of accommodation in central London, so as to be within easy commuting distance of The House.

Parliamentary regulations allow them to claim their rent, mortgage interest, council tax, phone, gas, electricity, water, decorating, security and grocery bills under this allowance.

And, of course, should MPs use this allowance to purchase and maintain a London property, then the rules also allow them to sell the property at a later date and to pocket the entire capital gains profit made through its sale – which could be truly considerable in London’s booming property market. Of course, we are not suggesting that the Honourable Member for Old Bexley and Sidcup would engage in such practice. 

But whereas we can understand why someone representing a Scottish or north of England constituency would be justified in claiming this allowance, we are unable to understand why the Honourable Member, who represents Old Bexley and Sidcup in southeast London, would need to do so.

After all, according to the RAC Route Finder facility, the distance by road, from central Sidcup to The House, is around a mere 12 miles!

In addition it is a journey undertaken by hundreds, if not thousands, of commuters each and every working day. And it’s not that Sidcup is badly served by rail either. According to the official timetables there is a frequent and fast service between Sidcup for Waterloo East (just across the Thames from The House).

For instance, tomorrow morning: 

The 07:31 service from Sidcup arrives at Waterloo at 07:58 – a journey time of 27 minutes.

The 07:47 service from Sidcup arrives at Waterloo at 08:08 – a journey time of 21 minutes.

The 07:51 service from Sidcup arrives at Waterloo at 08:19 – a journey time of 28 minutes.

 The 08:05 service from Sidcup arrives at Waterloo at 08:29 – a journey time of 24 minutes,  etc etc.

Our point being that the service between Sidcup and Waterloo is both frequent and fast in both directions! Hence, we ask the obvious question: Why has the Honourable Member for Old Bexley and Sidcup claimed over £122,000 in taxpayers’ money in just six years? Perhaps he’ll tell us?

Full details of the Honourable Member’s allowance and expenses claiming may be found here.

Four British-born Islamists have pleaded guilty to charges surrounding a plot to kidnap and behead a British Muslim soldier “like a pig”, a court has heard.

Parviz Khan, 38, an unemployed charity worker, admitted to a conspiracy to have the unnamed soldier kidnapped by drug dealers and taken to a lock-up where his head was to be cut off. The kidnapping would have been filmed and posted on the internet, Leicester Crown Court was told.

Khan, the ringleader, and three others admitted to a series of charges surrounding the plot earlier this month, but it could not be reported until a jury trying two other men on similar charges was sworn in.

Amjad Mahmood, 33, and Zahoor Iqbal, 31, have pleaded not guilty to involvement in the plot. Mahmood denied failing to inform police about the plot, while Iqbal denied possessing information likely to be useful to terrorists – namely a computer disc called Encyclopaedia Jihad.

The pair are also accused of intending to supply equipment to terrorists operating in Pakistan on the border with Afghanistan.

Earlier Basiru Gassama, 30, has admitted knowing about the plot but not telling anyone about it. Mohammed Irfan, 31, and Hamid Elasmar, 44, pleaded guilty to helping Khan supply the equipment.

They were all arrested in January and February last year amidst a high-profile operation in Birmingham by police and MI5.

Some important quotes from the Qur’an:

Qur’an 8:12 “Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: ‘I am with you. Give firmness to the Believers. I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.”

Ishaq:326 “If you come upon them, deal so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow, that they may be warned. Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah’s enemies.”

Qur’an 8:67 “It is not fitting for any prophet to have prisoners until he has made a great slaughter in the land.”

Bukhari 4:52:220 Allah’s Apostle said “I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)”

Ishaq:588 “When the Apostle descends on your land none of your people will be left when he leaves.”

Ishaq:327 “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

Two more large companies, Capita and Experian, have announced plans to cut jobs in Britain and move them to Mumbai and Bangalore.

In Birmingham, about 400 Capita employees have been told that their site is being shut and their jobs moved to Mumbai – before the end of the year.

Experian, the well-known credit checking company, is scaling back its IT development workforce in Britain and plans to outsource many of the jobs to India as well. The well-known propensity for that part of the world to be engaged in bank and credit card-type scams, must surely be of concern for all British consumers, as their personal details are now likely to be directly accessible by criminals in the Third World working for those companies.

Experian chief executive Don Robert said about 1,000 jobs in Britain would be cut and the IT work was being transferred to Perot Systems in Bangalore.

Capita’s decision has allegedly angered employees union Unite, with its deputy general secretary Graham Goddard said workers faced an uncertain future and added that the union had demanded meaningful consultation with Capita so that staff members’ fears can be allayed.

This is the same union which endorses the Labour Party and which actively campaigns against the BNP – but now Unite (Amicus) is complaining about the direct consequences of the political parties they support!

There is only one union standing up for the rights of British workers – Solidarity. Read more or join Solidarity here.

 As the Tory Party is engulfed in (yet another) scandal over MP Derek Conway, the media have deliberately suppressed the biggest news of the story: that it was a BNP man who laid the original complaint against Conway.

The complaint against Conway was brought by Michael Barnbrook, a retired policeman who stood against him as a candidate for the UK Independence Party, and is now a member of the British National Party.

He told the BBC: “I don’t get any personal joy from it. He’s my local MP – he’s there to work on my behalf. It’s my money he’s working with and he should be using it properly.”

The BBC only made a fleeting reference to the BNP angle in one story (here), and the rest of the media has deliberately suppressed it, instead going to other parties for quotes. We are, of course, not surprised.

Conway has “unreservedly apologised” to MPs after the Commons standards watchdog said he paid his son too much from parliamentary allowances. Conway paid his son Freddie to work part time for him as a researcher — while the lad was studying at Newcastle University.

Standards and Privileges Committee MPs said there was “no record” of what work he had done and said the £1,000-plus a month he was paid was too high. The Old Bexley and Sidcup MP has been suspended from the Commons, and now faces a new inquiry that he also employed his other son, Henry, the same way.

MPs are given allowances to run their office and pay their staff and there are no rules to stop wives, husbands, sons, daughters and other family members working for them.

But in its critical report, the committee ordered Conway to repay “the overpaid bonus sums” of about £13,000 and pension contributions received by his son.

The committee said Freddie Conway, who they refer to as FC, seemed to “have been all but invisible during the period of his employment”.

The committee found that FC was paid at a full-time equivalent rate of £25,970 per year throughout his employment. However, “no records appear to exist of either actual work that FC did for his father, or of the work he was required to undertake”, the report said.

For the majority of that time he was based at Newcastle University where he was engaged in a full time degree course. “He had little or no contact with his father’s office, either in the House or in the constituency,” the report said.

“No record of the work he is supposed to have carried out, or the hours kept. The only evidence available to us of work carried out was that provided by FC and his family.”

The report added that this arrangement was “at the least an improper use of parliamentary allowances” and “at worst, a serious diversion of public funds”.

The committee said there was “conclusive evidence” that Conway authorised bonus payments to his son “that went way beyond the permitted ceiling throughout the period of FC’s employment”.

It has recently been claimed in the media that Gordon Brown authorised the removal of Britannia in a redesign of the 50p coin. It would not surprise us in the slightest if this allegation is true. After all, what is obvious to the public at large, but unlikely to be to Labour, is that the figure of Britannia has been a symbol of Britain and British sea power in particular, for many centuries Indeed, it remains a symbol of British pride and is iconic of our much abused country. In our opinion any removal of Britannia from the coinage would be typical of a government having no sense of British pride and shamefully ignorant of our nation’s history. 

So assuming that Labour does “decommission” Britannia, as it has already done to the bulk of the Royal Navy, what will they put in its place on the reverse of the coin? A number of possibilities come to mind. We could, for instance, have a wilting Labour rose – in recognition of that Party’s contribution to making modern Britain what it is today. Or, perhaps, a mosque – symbolising where Labour sees its financial and electoral future! Other design possibilities could include a cannabis plant, a blank brown envelop stuffed with banknotes or even a cctv surveillance camera – all of which are iconic of Labour’s Britain! 

Furthermore, we foresee the possibility of the Government authorising the issue of a special commemorative 50p coin – perhaps to record for posterity the passing of the Lisbon Treaty through Parliament – for which we humbly submit the following design: 

Obverse: The bust of Gordon Brown in profile in place of the Queen, posing as a Roman emperor, replete with a laurel leaf crown and toga. Legend: “IN GORD WE TRUST”. 

Reverse: The biblical scene of the moneylenders in the temple, the whole surrounded by a ring of stars, one for every state in the EU Reich. Legend: “GOLD IS GOD”.

 One of the most senior Black police officers in Britain, Mike Fuller, Chief Constable of Kent, says police are struggling to cope with a wave of violent crime caused by the arrival of hundreds of thousands of immigrants.

Because he is Black, it will be very difficult for the media and the usual Labour/Tory/Lib-Dem gang to accuse him of being a racist.

Fuller blames these “migration surges” for a 35 per cent rise in violent crime in his county. His worries are voiced in a letter to Home Secretary Jacqui Smith which was leaked at the weekend.

He told the Home Secretary: “It is essential that I set out the impact that population growth is having in Kent and the pressure it is placing on finite resources.”

Fuller said his force alone will need more than 550 extra bobbies on the beat if the population explosion in the county – in which 80 per cent of new arrivals are from abroad – continues.

Britain is currently experiencing its biggest influx in history, with 520 new immigrants arriving every day.

Sir Andrew Green, of MigrationWatch UK, said: “These problems stem from a rapid increase in population resulting directly from uncontrolled immigration. We must get a grip of the numbers and soon.”

Fuller said in his letter: “There’s a danger that if the future funding regime fails to respond to dynamic changes in migration, the extra demand this generates will impact negatively on performance.”

His fears are the latest in a long list of warnings about the effects of Labour’s open-door immigration policy on Britain’s services and communities. A rise in crime is just one of 15 key problems caused by mass migration, according to the Local Government Association.

Fuller said Government predictions have proved wholly unreliable and funding has failed to match the huge influx of new arrivals. The population of Kent is set to rise by almost 20 per cent in the next 20 years to 1.9 million.

Fuller warned the multi-million- pound cost of translation services alone is placing a strain on his limited resources.

Last September, the Chief Constable of Cambridgeshire Police, Julie Spence, said her force was struggling to control the disorder resulting from mass immigration.

Last November, the LGA warned mass migration was having a catastrophic effects on services and communities. The survey of 100 local councils found that in some areas three-quarters of children are now born to foreign-born mothers while three in four pupils in some education authorities do not speak English as a first language.

In other towns, migrants are being housed illegally in garden sheds or caravans while others sleep on beaches. Hospital emergency wards are under strain, translation costs are soaring and house prices are being forced up. The scale of the increase by 2031 is the equivalent of the population of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all moving to England.

 Tuberculosis caseloads in Britain are at their highest since 1987, with 8,500 cases recorded in the UK last year, the vast majority in London.

The areas with the highest rates – equivalent to those of less economically developed countries – are boroughs where immigrant arrivals are also high, such as Brent and Newham.

While many Third World immigrants arrive with the disease, it has become clear that a great many catch the disease after they arrive in the UK, with the primary cause being the squalid conditions and poverty in which they live.

Tina Harrison, Awareness Officer for UK charity TB Alert, says that the 80% of immigrant TB cases in the UK are “latent infections are reactivated here” after at least two years; and 30% after 10.

TB is associated with poverty – overcrowded, unsanitary accommodation, which combined with poor nutrition and stress all contribute to its spread.

And who was it who was telling native Britons that immigration was boosting the economy?  Once again, the facts show the exact opposite.

 While Britons are expected to accept mass immigration, bogus asylum seekers, illegal immigrants and visa overstayers who can just carry on living here, seemingly impervious to court orders or criminal charges, while drawing thousands in benefits, Saudi Arabia deals with the problem in its own way.

The Saudi Arabian government department in charge of the Hajj – the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca – has announced its intention to summarily deport and fine anyone overstaying their Hajj visa – without the option of an appeal, the ability to stay on in that country while “the case is studied” or any such thing. If you get caught illegally living in Saudi Arabia, you get thrown out, simple as that.

This is of course, the correct and logical way to handle the issue – but is it not strange how Muslim countries can have such policies, and no-one says a word, but as soon as any European party (or government) tries to implement such a policy, the cries of ‘racism’ go up?

According to the General Directorate of Passports in Saudi Arabia, in a statement issued on 28 January, the (Saudi) Kingdom’s regulations do not allow those who have come to the country with Hajj visa to stay back.

The statement made it clear that extending assistance to those who are staying back either by lodging, employing or transportation constitutes a flagrant violation, and the violators will be liable for punishment which includes imprisonment and SR 10,000 in penalty.

The penalty will be charged according to the number of persons who are illegally staying back and receiving assistance. The residents who extends facilities to those who are staying back will be deported in addition to specified penalty.
