When one of our correspondents directed us to a story on the website of Russia Today we were, admittedly, a little sceptical. The story reads:

Abramovich money props up UK Navy

Britain’s Royal Navy has started training crews to man the luxury yachts of the rich and famous and one of their first clients is reportedly Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. He owns one of the world’s largest private yachts.

According to the Wall Street Journal the crew have already undergone a course on fire fighting and emergency procedures.

The Navy is training butlers, skippers and stewards to serve on the billionaire’s exclusive boats. The head of the programme says the Royal Navy needs the money since the government reduced its budget.

However, on referring to the Wall Street Journal, not only do we find confirmation but we also find a video clip that will have more than a few “Old Salts” using language guaranteed to make the most worldly-wise “Jack Tar” blush!

What’s next – joy trips around Portsmouth harbour on a frigate? Nighttime minesweeper disco cruises? The mind boggles!

The Wall Street Journal report may be found here .

It would appear that the BNP’s Michael Barnbrook, your BNP news team and – surprise, surprise – the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Ian Blair, are all of a similar mind in asking “Why were the police not called in over Conway?”

Former senior policeman Michael Barnbrook, of course, did the nation an enormous service by starting this particular ball rolling. Now even the head of the Metropolitan Police is asking why his officers have not been called in by the Parliamentary authorities to investigate the scandal! The failure of the Parliamentary authorities to do so suggests that they have an awful lot more than the Conway scandal to keep from prying eyes!

According to a recent report in the Independent:

“The disgraced Tory MP Derek Conway was under fresh pressure last night after Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, demanded to know why his case has not been referred to the force.

In a highly unusual move which will pile fresh pressure on Mr Conway, a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman confirmed Sir Ian had written to Mr Lyon and asked for an explanation if the case is not to be referred.”

In our opinion what is clearly needed, in addition to an independent “root and branch” review of MPs allowances and expenses, is an in-depth “root and branch” police investigation into the claiming of public money by parasitic MPs going back to at least 1997.

Remember when the pundits and politicians alike said it was a disaster in the making when the BNP became the official opposition to the Labour controlled Barking and Dagenham Council?

They were all wrong, weren’t they! For all those new BNP councillors have turned out to be anything ,but a disaster.

Yet things could have been even better. For if the BNP had been in actual control of this council, it’s council-tax payers could be looking forward, not to an increase in their tax demands, but to no increase at all, and quite likely a very real decrease!

And, you may ask, how is this possible?

It’s possible because the BNP has identified up to £10.2 million pounds of savings that could be made within the Barking & Dagenham council budget – and all without harming any of the essential services we all expect a local council to provide, whatever its political colour!

There’s no doubt about it, the BNP really does make a difference!

British National Party Budget

Barking and Dagenham Council 2008/9

Compiled and Presented by

Richard Barnbrook

Leader of the British National Party Barking and Dagenham

Barking and Dagenham Council Budget 2008/9

Foreword

The British National Party is presenting its budget for 2008/9 which includes prospective savings of 10.2 million pounds which will enable a no increase council tax which will benefit both residents and businesses within the Borough. The fundamentals of this budget provide for improved delivery over a range of services by performing functions on an in- house basis using council staff rather than providing profits for agencies and contractors.

Unlike the Labour Council budget there will be no cuts to essential services such as Public Conveniences indeed we will reverse the trend of running down essential services and the public sector. A major part of the savings will come from dismantling the phoney public sector which has been created to serve political correctness.
In this respect we will not be cutting expenditure we will be slashing it.…

Adult and Community Services Revenue Budget (pages 47-66)

Older Persons Services
The BNP anticipate savings of 2 million pounds by operating older person’s services in-house instead of on an agency basis. The BNP believe it is possible to deliver a higher standard of service of meals on wheels from the Council from existing Council catering facilities. That in-house carers for the elderly operate in a more efficient and effective manner. Overall benefits will accrue from regular council employees rather than to agency operatives who may come and go.

Learning Disabilities
Similarly, services covering learning disabilities would be operated more efficiently and effectively by an in-house service than by an agency where quality control must be more difficult to administer and monitor.

Safety and Parks Police
Safety and Parks Police is a service which can be run and delivered by Council staff.

Drugs and Alcohol Services
The BNP is so concerned with the interests of local people we would increase the budget to this service by £200,000 pounds to take a direct action approach to the social problems of alcohol and substance abuse/misuse. At the same time savings of £ 100,000 pounds could be made by eliminating agency expenditure.

Community and Development
The BNP would do away with agency grants. The BNP is committed to supporting local voluntary organisations and groups provided that they comply with terms and conditions to any grants which ensure local taxpayers see a real return for their investment. As an example: where sporting or arts organisations are in receipt of council grants they must be able to prove an adequate level of fundraising themselves and evidence that their product is accessible to all members of the community. This may mean for some of them that they have to arrange visits by elderly residents of the Borough to there facilities thus proving they are part of the community. We believe by taking a more responsible approach to community development, savings of £200,000 pounds may be anticipated and the voluntary sector will be driven to be more effective.

Equalities and Diversities
The BNP anticipate savings of £100,000 in the staffing budget

Children’s Services (pages 67-87)

We will strive to reduce the volume of agency providers and we will reduce the sums available for service provision and make savings of £5.3 million pounds. We will maximise local provision of services by introducing capped and budget driven services and we will review the possibility of off-shoring where there is a consensus that it would benefit the ethnic integrity of the client.
Customer Services (pages 88-114)

We will bring the refuse collection in house giving a net saving of £200,000 pounds.

Frizlands Depot and Passenger Transport
The BNP will merge these two entities because the BNP is committed to the concept of renewable fuel sources and environmentally friendly transport. The BNP will invest £300,000 in eco-friendly vehicles ranging from hybrids to electric mini buses.

Environmental Health and Trading Standards
The BNP is committed to protecting and improving the health of the Borough residents and also waging war on the exploitive practices of people traffickers, gang masters, and abusers of animal welfare. The BNP propose to spend an additional £400,000 pounds on increased staffing of environmental health and trading standards. Officers will focus on the areas of hygiene in particular in areas of TB and halal food, bush meat and counterfeit goods.

Revenue and Benefits
The collection of revenues and the payment of benefits is one of the most important functions of the authority. The BNP note the way the business community has negligible arrears and whilst the vast majority of council taxpayers realise their obligations the small minority that don’t will be severely targeted. The BNP will intensify the level of targeting in the residential area and anticipate this will bring savings of £1.5 millions pounds a 1 percent improvement.

Regeneration (pages 115-117)

Public Conveniences
The BNP is committed to maintaining this most fundamental of government services. Therefore, unlike Labour we will not close all public conveniences. The BNP will spend an additional £150,000 pounds on a high profile staffing, cleaning and a security presence. We will eliminate the £3000 agency costs.

On/Off Street Parking
On/off street parking is not a significant revenue generator for the council nor should it be. However the over exuberant enforcement in certain areas of the Borough is seen as a deterrent to the success of local shops and small businesses. It is the BNPs opinion that an adequate service can be provided by more selective control with fewer traffic wardens. Therefore, we propose savings of £403,000 pounds can be made.

Highways Maintenance
The BNP can see no advantage to the taxpayers of the Borough in making profits for private companies. We propose to bring the service in house and anticipate net savings of £500,000 pounds.

Adult Basics Skills Initiative
An element of this relates to paying for learning for asylum seekers. The BNP don’t see why the council and taxpayers should fund this so the BNP proposes cuts of £50,000 pounds.

Parks and Open Spaces
The BNP believes that parks and open spaces are better managed and safer places when run in the traditional way with full time council employees’ on site. We believe this can replace the existing agency arrangements provide a better and safer service and save the taxpayer £200,000 pounds.

Cemeteries
The BNP wishes to encourage the honouring of our ancesters and in order to make cemetery visits easier we will spend £44,000 as a first step to provide shelters and toilets facilities at cemeteries.

Allotments
The BNP wishes to encourage the production of home-grown food and will provide £20,000 for the provision of storage facilities as step towards mini farmer/barter markets.

Sports Centres
The BNP the chief officers have been unable to give us a precise costing for that element of expenditure known as celebrating diversity. We are not interested in celebrating diversity, just Britishness and in the absences of figures from the officers we anticipate that £5000.000 of political correctness can be slashed and the burden on residents and businesses removed.

Sports Development
The BNP believes that competitive sport is part and parcel of the healthy development of individuals and groups. To this end we make available £100,000 for professional sport coaching from the boroughs leisure centre.

Arboriculture and Nurseries
We will eliminate £50,000 pound of agency expenditure and spend an equivalent sum on extra training, staffing and transport.

Resources (pages 178-196)

Human Resources, a service which was traditionally known as the personnel department, have a budget in the region of £6.5 million pounds. In the BNPs opinion a bogus industry has been created around community priorities, promoting equality opportunities and celebrating diversity BNP believe the roll of the personnel department is simply to ensure the adequate professional staffing of council departments to achieve the necessities of local government. We propose therefore that £3 millions pounds of the £6.5 million be given the chop and the bulk of this will come from employee expenses

Democracy and Partnerships (page 185)

The BNP does not believe it is necessary to spend £5 million pounds of taxpayer’s money to assist members and staff to deliver socialist priorities. Again an industry has been created around so called community engagement and marketing. The BNP believes that a budget for electoral and registration services should cost £2 million pounds less than this. We do not believe the head of service should be the council whistle blowing officer, the BNP takes the view that the finance professionals of the internal audit section are in the best position to do this.

Strategic Finance and Audit (page 190)

The BNP believe that the strategic finance and audit play a key roll in ensuring the proper probity of the council. And it merits are undervalued and the department is understaffed to realise its potential. To this end we will make available £200,000 to strengthen the internal audit function to ensure by a system based approach that the council complies with all statutory duties, the security of its operating systems, and its achievement of value for money and to perform a whistle blowing function.

Capital Programme (pages 197-219)

The BNP believes there is one issue within the Capital Programme that in its importance outweighs all other issues. The BNP is totally opposed to the residential development of the Thames Gateway. The BNP believes that as this land is on the flood plain that it would be in the interests of public safety, the environment, and to allow for unknown factors in the future, that it should be left undeveloped. We do not believe this will be detrimental to the provision of housing in Barking and Dagenham and in London in general. Within the context of the BNPs demographic and law and order strategy, by not developing this land there will be a significant financial saving to the boroughs taxpayers by the elimination of the resulting revenue costs of capital development.

Revenue Development of Housing Portfolio
To indicate the BNPs commitment to ensuring that council housing moves towards meeting the needs of the local population it is proposed to make an initial contribution of £2 million pounds sourced from Revenue as the start of a policy of replenishing the council housing stock from its original base as opportunity permits.

LBBD Council Tax Budget 2008  2009 working version(1).xls

Regular visitors to this site will know that Labour is very free with our money – particularly when it comes to spending it on pet causes that few reasonable people would subscribe to. We know, for instance, that Generous Gordon & Co have promised India some £850 million in “aid”. India, of course, has need of “aid” as it has one of the largest armies on the face of the earth to maintain – not to mention a military nuclear programme and, we understand, a fledgling space programme. And let’s not also forget the many palms that need to be “greased” before any part of the “aid” gets to where it is intended.

And then again, we have Generous Gordon & Co. telling us that failed “asylum seekers” suffering from HIV, from parts of the world that do not provide an affordable and effective treatment programme, must not be returned “home”. Instead they must be treated on the NHS, at the taxpayers’ expense, to the tune of around £15,000 to £20,000 per head per annum.

There are, of course, many other examples.

By contrast today we learn that an English woman, 61-years young, was initially refused a routine heart operation by a cash-strapped NHS trust because she is considered “too old”! That was until the story was picked up and publicised by the media – at which point the NHS trust involved “reviewed” her case and found the necessary funding.

The lady, who suffers from an irregular heartbeat and is at increased risk of a stroke, had been told that health chiefs had refused to allow the procedure on cost grounds, which was recommended by her specialist.

Now it would be totally wrong to blame the Yorkshire NHS trust concerned, as clearly had they been properly funded in the first place, then they would not have been placed in a truly dreadful position such as this, of having to rob Peter to pay Paul!

But, we have to ask, how many British people up and down this land of ours have been denied life-saving treatment because NHS trusts simply do not have the wherewithal to fund such routine treatment? And how many of these very same trusts are being forced by government rulings to fund HIV and other expensive courses of treatment for “asylum-seekers” and “health-tourists” at the same time?

Of course, the really sickening aspect of this scandal – for that is exactly what it is – is that those Westminster politicians who make these rules seldom have need to avail themselves of treatment under the NHS, as their public funded private heath insurance enables them to make other arrangements.

Ecobuild Futurebuild Exhibition Earl’s Court 26-28/2/08

Thursday the 28th saw an important day at this exhibition for all aspects of the building industry as relating to environmental aspects.

For at 10.45am there was to be a debate on environmental issues affecting London, the debate featuring our old friends “Red” Livingstone, “Mugabe” Johnson and some chap called Mr Paddick, who claims to be the Lib Dem London Mayoral candidate. Unknown to these fellows, Richard Barnbrook, BNP Mayoral candidate was present in the audience.

The debate was in the usual amicable fashion between the establishment figures , with much of their diatribe being seen through by the audience of about 200 people, eg Johnson wants to plant more trees, but that does not address the shoe horn building policy removing the land to plant them on, Livingstone wants to raise an extra £30-£50M from a £25 congestion charge to fund cycle lanes, but where is the space to put the cycle lanes? It was noted by the audience that whilst the Lab-Tory duo could at least talk about specific ideas, even if often unreasonable, the Lib-Dem could only talk in vague general terms about environmental excellence.

Then shock-horror!

The debate chairman, respected journalist and media presenter Mr James Naughtie allowed Richard Barnbrook to ask the panel the following pertinent question “Would the panel accept that climate change in London cannot be viewed in a micro but a global context, and in this respect, due regard to optimum populations should be given for cities and indeed countries, to prevent population over-density making environmental problems worse?”

The educated response from the panel was amazing;

Johnson spluttered that he would not debate any question from the BNP, Livingstone said he would not talk about the question and whoever the Lib-Dem was said something similar in parrot fashion. Notably 10% of the audience gently applauded Johnson’s response , whilst 90% seemed surprised at the arrogance of the 3 wannabees.

Our thanks go to the events director for permitting Richard Barnbrook and Richmond organiser Chris Forster to attend the event (without any subterfuge) and also to the debate Chairman James Naughtie for his very fair and liberal (in the real sense of the word) handling of the debate.

For those who could not be there, read Richard’s question again;

“Is it unreasonable, is it not a straightforward question about environment and economics? Ask yourself why, of all the questions asked of them, this was the only one that the Lib-Lab-Con refused to answer?”

Policemen are to be taught sharia law in a bid to counter extremism at a local level

It would appear that the limp clergyman, Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, might not have been such a loose cannon after all, when he spoke about accepting parts of Sharia Law.

Could it be that his recent comments were simply part of the preparations by leaders of the Quisling regime of Westminster to pave the way for embracing Sharia Law in a far more fundamental way?

This quote from the Chief Constable in charge of the strategy, West Yorkshire’s Norman Bettison, said: “We work closely with communities and the majority of police training at the moment in this area is done in partnership with Muslim organisations.

If that statement doesn’t scare the pants off of you, then you misread it. Go back and read it again!!

Note also, the quotes from David Davis, Tory MP, don’t they sound very similar, in intent, to what the clueless Archbishop had to say!

Certainly this report on the ’secret’ plans to educate police recruits in the wonders of Sharia and the Koran, is certainly indicative of such an intent.

And like so many other dilutions of our traditional values, this one is also explained away as an attempt to counter extremism!

Work that one out if you can? I confess, the logic is lost on me!

Police will be trained on the importance of the Koran and Sharia law to Muslims under Government plans to tackle extremism.

Lessons in the Islamic faith and culture will become part of the formal training for recruits.

Chief constables said officers will build better relationships by understanding the communities they are policing.

This could prove crucial in rooting out extremism and preventing a terrorist attack, according to the Association of Chief Police Officers.

But critics expressed concern that the plan could foster division, rather than combat it.

It comes after the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, said the adoption of certain aspects of Sharia law in the UK “seems unavoidable”.

He later said his remarks had been misinterpreted.

Shadow Home Secretary David Davis added: “Of course it is sensible for the police to have an understanding of the Koran and Sharia law as long as we do not allow the situation to slip so that Sharia law is regarded on an equal basis with British law.

“British law is and always must be pre-eminent.”

The scheme is part of a wide-ranging strategy to prevent extremist ideas gaining hold in schools, colleges and prisons.

Other initiatives in the 40-page strategy include guidance to parents on how to stop children searching for extremist websites, and intervening where convicted terrorists are suspected of spreading hate in prison.

Police will not have to learn the “depth and complexity” of Sharia law but would be expected to understand Islamic culture.

But critics have described the plan as “politically correct thinking”.

Philip Davies, Conservative MP for Shipley, said: “Police officers are not there to implement sharia law. They are there to implement British law.

“This idea is misguided. We will only get community cohesion when everybody signs up to being British and following British law.”

The so-called Prevent strategy says: “Research last year revealed that the police service would be very low on the list of agencies that the Muslim community would turn to if they had concerns about a member of their community who embraced violent extremism.

“The police service has a long way to go in building a relationship of trust around these issues.”

The Chief Constable in charge of the strategy, West Yorkshire’s Norman Bettison, said: “We work closely with communities and the majority of police training at the moment in this area is done in partnership with Muslim organisations.

“We are building on this basis of training and emphasising that a basic principle of policing is that officers work with and should understand the communities they are policing.

“The Acpo Prevent strategy recognises this in the context of non-Muslim officers working with Muslim communities.

“These issues can be complex and include nationality, community and religious issues, all of which are interwoven.

“That is what we are trying to get across to officers in our training. The depth and complexity of sharia law is not part of this training.

“The strategy remains in draft form at present and I expect it to be formally adopted by chief officer colleagues after further feedback from partners and communities.”

Britain could be stuck with more than a dozen international terror suspects after a devastating ruling by the European Court of Human Rights.

Judges said the right of a fanatic to be protected from torture in his homeland was “absolute”.

They rejected arguments that, in trying to deport an extremist to a country with a history of torture, the rights of British citizens to be protected from attack in their homeland should be considered, too.

The court also cast doubt on agreements Britain has been trying to secure with countries in the Middle East to allow the deportation of the likes of hate-preacher Abu Qatada, known as Osama bin Laden’s ambassador in Europe.

The Strasbourg judges said guarantees from countries such as Tunisia and Jordan they would not torture any terror suspect deported by the UK may not be acceptable.

The blow came in a ruling against an attempt by the Italian government to deport a terror suspect to Tunisia.

Britain had “intervened” on the crucial case, in an effort to establish it could deport more than a dozen terror suspects being held in secure jails.

The court described as “misconceived” the UK and Italian arguments that the risk to a terror suspect should be balanced against the risk they poses to innocent civilians.

Judges instead said the terror suspect had an “absolute” right to protection from torture – and this must come first.

It effectively upheld an earlier judgement blamed by ministers for our woeful failure to deport extremists.

They also cast grave doubt over the future of legal assurances given by countries with poor human rights records that they will not torture any suspect who is returned.

These so-called Memorandums of Understanding – including one which allows Qatada to be sent back to Jordan – could now be ripped up when they are challenged in Europe by suspects fighting deportation.

The first case is likely to be that of Qatada, who judges have labelled a “truly dangerous individual”.

He called on British Muslims to martyr themselves in a war on oppression.

A Home Office spokesman said: “We intervened because terrorism undermines fundamental human rights – including the right to life. The Government is disappointed.”

It came as the UK’s most senior counter terrorism officer, Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, stood down yesterday, saying that the struggle against violent extremism is far from over.

We learn today that Labour’s BBC has “sparked controversy” by spending £750,000 of licence fee cash on a racist project to coach ethnic minority staff into top jobs. Highly paid fat cat BBC bosses, we understand, have launched an initiative to help minority employees get senior posts ahead of native British staff. Not surprisingly, many members of staff are resentful and consider the BBC’s latest manifestation of racism as “politically correct” positive discrimination – which, of course, is exactly what it is!

BBC staff are also said to be “bemused” as to how the corporation can afford to spend £750,000 on the three year scheme when it is axing up to 1,800 (mainly native British) jobs.

According to the BBC half of the 30 highly sought “fast track” places a year on the new scheme will be ring-fenced for staff from ethnic backgrounds – which means native Britons are barred from applying. In addition a further six places in the scheme will be reserved for disabled applicants – leaving just nine places from any background – including ethnic minorities.

So, to sum up, if you are “ethnic minority” and disabled then you can apply for any of the 30 places. If you are merely “ethnic minority” then you may apply for any of 24 places. If you are native-British and disabled then you can apply for any 15 places. Unfortunately, if you are an able-bodied native Briton, then you may only apply for 9 of the 30 places.

The BBC, of course, prides itself on being an equal opportunities employer (except when it comes to native Britons of course)!

We further learn that among the mentors assisting those on the apartheid-style scheme will be the BBC’s own director general Mark Thompson and members of the executive board. Furthermore the corporation is branding this injustice as “positive action”’ – rather than “positive discrimination” – which, of course, is illegal.

Somewhat hypocritically a number of Establishment politicians criticised the plans saying the BBC should promote all staff on the basis of ability not colour – which, of course, they do in when advocating “ethnic minority” shortlists in some constituencies.

Apologists for BBC racism claim that the scheme will “nurture people from ethnic minorities who have the potential to take on senior roles”. Director of BBC People Steve Kelly told in-house magazine Ariel: “Because the BBC now believes that change is not going to happen any other way, it has made the conscious decision to take positive action.” This comes after corporation bosses have been stung by claims it is more “hideously white” than ever and follows comment from the beginning of the month, by Lenny Henry, who lambasted the BBC and other broadcasters for not employing enough black staff. Henry reportedly called on broadcasters to take “affirmative action” to remedy the situation.

All of which reminds us of George Orwell’s Animal Farm – which we misquote as:

All BBC staff are equal – but some BBC staff are more equal than others!

From yesterday’s Independent (26th February).

“Last night, the Information Tribunal which hears appeals over Freedom of Information requests ruled that the current “second-homes” allowance system is “deeply unsatisfactory”. In a move that could have a knock-on effect for other MPs, the tribunal found in favour of a request for the release of information relating to 14 MPs – including Tony Blair, David Cameron and Gordon Brown – within 28 days.

Earlier yesterday, the Commons Estimates Committee, chaired by Mr Martin, bowed to pressure to bring forward the review of MPs’ expenses it launched after the scandal involving the Tory MP Derek Conway, who employed his two sons as researchers while they were at university. Its recommendations will now be published in July. Mr Martin said on Monday he would complete the review that MPs had unanimously asked him to carry out.

After some MPs complained that an internal review would not allay public criticism, the committee agreed to widen its inquiry to take advice from independent bodies including the National Audit Office, the Audit Commission and the Committee on Standards in Public Life, the anti-sleaze watchdog, which will also be asked to comment on its draft conclusions. As a first step, the £250 maximum that MPs claim in expenses without producing a receipt will be cut from April, probably to £50. “

The implication of the above is enormous. Having ordered the release of allowance claiming information on some 14 MPs can there now be any justification for witholding requests for disclosure on ALL “Honourable Members”? How MPs , particularly those with their “snouts firmly in the trough” are going to react to the Information Tribunal’s latest ruling, remains unclear at the present time.

Should events take their course and the truth about the extent to which hundreds of dishonest MPs, over the years, have participated in what many consider to be the fraudulent use of public funds, comes out – then the clamour for a police investigation could become overwhelming. At the very least, in our oponion, those sitting MPs guilty of defrauding the public should be unceremoniously booted out of office and ALL offending MPs and ex-MPs, as in the case of common criminals, should not be allowed to retain the proceeds of their nefarious activities. In other words, they should be required to return all public monies wrongfully claimed by them from the public purse with compound interest!

Only those measures, together with a regime that requires receipts for everything, the scrapping of ACA, an end to employing family and friends and independent scrutiny and auditing of every penny claimed by MPs from the public purse by an independent non-Parliamentary watchdog, can lead to the restoration of the reputation of The House.

In the meantime the BNP intends picking a few choice “scabs” to expose what they conceal!

‘War’ on the Streets

Ravensthorpe – West-Yorks – Yesterday

Another ‘enrichment’ story that you will not have read about in the national press this morning!

A MAJOR police alert was sparked after up to 40 Hungarian and Pakistani yobs brandishing machetes and knives clashed in Ravensthorpe.

Tensions boiled over in the multi-racial community on Tuesday night amid claims that an Asian girl was “touched” by the Hungarians.

The rival gangs clashed in Spen Valley Road and one resident said: “The Hungarians just decided to go to war.”

A 36-year-old man from Ravensthorpe and a 39-year-old from Huddersfield suffered slight head injuries and a number of weapons were recovered by police.

Police described the disturbance as “an isolated incident” but patrols have been stepped up to reassure local people.

Tuesday’s disturbances mirrored what happened last summer when Iraqis and Pakistani youths clashed in Ravensthorpe and Savile Town.

Locals said the trouble then was caused by Asian girls being pestered for sex by the Iraqi Kurds. During a week of tensions, riot police were called to deal with running battles between rival gangs armed with baseball bats and other weapons.

One man, a Kurd, was badly beaten and suffered head injuries.

This week’s disturbance has led to fears that violence may escalate again and Coun Khizar Iqbal, in charge of community safety at Kirklees Council, said: “This kind of behaviour will not be tolerated and I will be talking to the police to make sure there is no repeat of what happened last year.”

Coun Iqbal (Con, Dewsbury South) said that the make-up of the Ravensthorpe community may need to be looked at.

“We have different groups of people coming into Ravensthorpe and the dispersal scheme is run by national government, not local councils.

“This is a sensitive issue but we often don’t know who is coming in and from where but it can disrupt settled communities. However we cannot tolerate this kind of aggravation.”

Businessman Vinny Burman, who runs an off-licence shop on the corner of Spen Valley Road, described what happened on Tuesday and said: “Some Asian men took offence at what had happened to the girl and trouble erupted. It went pear-shaped and got hostile.

“A lot of residents were scared but we have had this before involving Iraqis and Kurds. It goes on all the time. There is a lot of conflict and this was not as bad as it could have been but then there was a heavy police presence.”

Mr Burman said grown Hungarian men were chasing young Asians with machetes and knives. “That’s why it was so bad,” he said. “It kept going quiet and flaring up again. It is at night when it is worst.

“People have been coming into the shop asking whether they are safe. They don’t know how to take this. They expect the worst.”

Throughout Tuesday evening police mounted high visibility patrols.

Chief Insp Jon Carter, Dewsbury’s police commander, said: “We are working closely with the community in Ravensthorpe to find out just what happened.

“Clearly, when we get reports of large groups of people we take positive action as this can cause fear and intimidation for members of the community.

“We are treating this as an isolated incident, although we do have plans for extra patrols to reassure people.”

Ward councillor Karam Hussain (Lib Dem, Dewsbury West) pledged to investigate what was going on.

Anyone with information about the disturbance is asked to contact police on 01924 431059.

The massive influx of eastern European immigrant workers to Britain has topped 800,000 in the four years since Poland and seven other former communist states joined the European Union.

In the last 12 months the cost of paying benefits to the newcomers has more than doubled to an estimated £170million a year, with 145,000 immigrants now claiming state handouts.
The Government predicted 13,000 arrivals a year when opting to open Britain’s labour markets to millions of new EU citizens – while most other countries imposed restrictions.
But the scale of immigration has proved to be 15 times greater.

In 2007 another 214,510 eastern Europeans registered to work in Britain, equal to 600 arrivals a day.

Yesterday UK business leaders said employers would continue to welcome the new arrivals because their work ethic is “so much better than domestic workers” who suffer from a “skills shortage and increasing welfare dependency”.

The figures published yesterday do not include self-employed eastern Europeans such as plumbers or builders, or 30,000 from Romania and Bulgaria which joined the EU later, meaning that the real total of new arrivals is likely to be well over a million in four years – equivalent to a city the size of Birmingham.

Eastern European immigrants can claim benefits after working here for 12 months – including child benefit for children who have stayed with relatives back in their home countries.

Concerned Britons should take ten minutes out of their busy day today to watch the video linked to below. Yes – it concerns immigration into the United States and no – it does concern us, ALL of us. Why? Because the rate of immigration that currently will reduce Americans to a minority in their own country by the end of the century is going to do exactly the same to us.

In absolute numbers the scale of annual immigration into Britain isn’t as large as that into the United States – but allowing for our much smaller population, the rate is very similar and the end result will be exactly the same! Put bluntly immigration WILL make us a minority in our own country and WILL leave our kids without a homeland they can call their own – unless something is done very soon! This is not an exaggeration – it is a statement of fact!

We don’t have to continue down the road of national oblivion just because the Lib-Lab-Conmen and their friends in the BBC say so – there is a solution to this, the greatest threat our nation has ever faced!

Clad in mud-smeared combat fatigues, the young Muslims trained on picturesque British farmland, hurling imaginary grenades, wielding sticks as mock rifles and chopping watermelons in simulated beheadings.

A four-year inquiry, which came to a close Tuesday with guilty pleas from the last two of seven gang members, has exposed a network of alleged British terrorism training camps meant to prepare recruits for mass murder.

Security officials believe hundreds of men — including a gang that made a failed attempt to bomb London’s transit network — passed through camps set up across the English countryside.

Investigators say it was a worrying discovery at the heart of Britain’s homegrown terrorism: training camps once thought to be exclusive to northern Pakistan or Afghanistan are being held in sleepy rural England.

The two ringleaders — one who claimed to be the “No. 1 al-Qaida in Europe” and the other who nicknamed himself “Osama bin London — will be sentenced next month on charges of running the camps and inciting participants to murder. Five others were each sentenced on Tuesday to at least 3 1/2 years in prison on charges of attending terrorism training.

From today’s Liverpool Echo, slightly abridged.

HEALTH officials are having crisis talks with Muslim medical staff who have objected to hospital hygiene rules because of religious beliefs.

Women students at Liverpool’s Alder Hey children’s hospital have raised objections to removing their arm coverings in theatre and to rolling up their sleeves when washing their hands because it is regarded as immodest.

Minutes of a clinical academics’ meeting at Liverpool University revealed that female Muslim students at Alder Hey children’s hospital had objected to rolling up their sleeves to wear gowns.

Similar concerns have been raised at Leicester University, and Sheffield University also reported a case of a Muslim medic who refused to “scrub” as this left her forearms exposed.

Some students have said that they would prefer to quit the course rather than expose their arms, but hygiene experts said no exceptions should be made on religious grounds.

A Royal Liverpool hospital spokesman said they had experienced issues of Muslim staff not sanitising their forearms with alcohol gel although this had now been addressed.

Dr Steve Ryan, medical director at Alder Hey said that while the “bare below the elbows” dress code is a matter of patient safety, the trust would work with Muslim students to find a solution.

He said: “We specify bare below elbows, no wrist watches, nail varnish or false nails in clinical areas.

“Good hand hygiene is one of the most important and simplest actions we can take to prevent healthcare associated infections.

“A number of female Muslim students had approached the University of Liverpool to ask if we would provide facilities for them to change their outerwear and Hijab for theatre scrubs.

“We were pleased to accommodate this request and these facilities have now been incorporated.”

But the Islamic Medical Association insisted that covering all the body in public, except the face and hands, was a basic tenet of Islam.

It said: “No practising Muslim woman – doctor, medical student, nurse or patient – should be forced to bare her arms below the elbow.”

We publish the following piece, from one of our members, not particularly to draw attention to the issue of rendition or to the treatment of the former residents of Diego Garcia – but, rather, to use these issues to demonstrate how dishonest and utterly unfit for office our politicians are. Read it for yourself and see if you don’t agree!

Former Foreign Secretary, Margaret Beckett, has cited poor record keeping for the government’s ignorance of US rendition flights landing and refuelling on Diego Garcia, a UK dependent territory. It follows David Miliband’s admission that previous denials were erroneous and that he was “very sorry” that previous denials made in “good faith” were now having to be corrected. Can they be believed?

In this case, they probably can be; and here’s why. In 1961 the US Navy visited the island, the largest in the Chagos Archipelago, and decided it would make a great military base – being situated bang in the middle of the Indian Ocean as it is. They asked the British government to have the island “swept and sanitised” of all its inhabitants. The deal got under way in 1965 when the British made the islands a colony – the British Indian Ocean Territory (B.I.O.T.). The islanders, by now British Citizens, were reclassified from inhabitants to ‘contract workers’. The expulsion of the islanders got under way in 1971 when the governor of the Seychelles, Sir Bruce Greatbatch, withheld vital supplies; food, water, oil etc. This forced a lot of the islanders to leave. Then he ordered the rounding up of all their cherished pets (dogs, mostly) and had them gassed by the exhaust fumes of US military vehicles. The remaining islanders were left in no doubt that the same fate awaited them if they didn’t leave – they got the message. Limited to one suitcase each, they were packed on to the SS Nordvear (Sir Bruce made certain that the horses got pride of place on the same boat) and were shipped to the Seychelles, where they were imprisoned (yes, imprisoned). They were then shipped to Port Louis, Mauritius and dumped in slum accommodation with no water, electric etc. There, abandoned by the British, they began to die, one after the other, from starvation, poverty, suicide and from what the expelled Chagossians call “sadness”. The survivors live in poverty to this day with many turning to prostitution. They held a protest in 1982 that shamed the British into giving the survivors a paltry £3000 each – but always with an eye for a bargain, the British tricked the illiterate islanders into signing away their right to return at the same time as signing for the compensation (Tory shenanigans this time – in cahoots as always).

I could go on, but suffice it to say that the whole affair was based on lies and deceit and downright chicanery (right the way to the top with Harold Wilson himself approving of the duplicity) when putting the case to the U.N. The documents are all now out in the open and one of them is actually called ‘Maintaining the Fiction’.

Still ostensibly a UK dependent territory, Diego Garcia is now a thriving US military base and its two large runways are used to send bombers to Afghanistan and Iraq. It is also used to refuel rendition flights.

Now back to the question of our government’s alleged ignorance of these rendition flights. In light of the above (all of which, and more, has been fully documented by the investigative reporter, John Pilger, in his documentary “Stealing a Nation” – as well as being heard at the High Court in London) do you think that this government really gives a toss what happens on Diego Garcia, even to its own subjects? This Labour government is as bad as its ’60s predecessor. And if they can pull a stunt like that, and a stunt like the Iraqi WMD and its 45 minute readiness claim, then don’t fool yourself into thinking that they’re being honest about the ‘Lisbon’ treaty being nothing more than a reforming treaty – because they’d sell us out at the drop of a hat. When this lot get the whiff of money in their nostrils, and get a trough full of lucre shoved under their snouts, there are no depths of deceit to which they won’t sink!

BNP London Mayoral candidate Richard Barnbrook was denied the opportunity to make his voice heard at an important public debate in Central London on Monday 25th Feb, in which Ken ‘Red’ Livingstone, Mayor of London was taking part.

After Richard gained access and took his seat in the main auditorium of the Royal Society of Arts in his distinctive beige suit, along side the media, politicos and other people, he was told to leave by an official who was accompanied by a security guard, so our brave candidate was denied his freedom of speech in his own city. The excuse given was that there was a slight spelling error with Richard’s surname on his entrance ticket, but we suspect there was an ulterior motive to keep him out of the event and deny him media coverage and a chance to challenge Livingstone face to face in front of a large audience.

The evening’s debate was entitled “How Can London Stay Ahead As The Great World City?” And Richard had some very hard pressing questions to put before the panel on the top table, he also wished to raise important matters concerning ordinary Londoners’ lives in our capital city which are usually ignored at such forums.

The event went ahead without a strongly voiced patriotic opposition, the general theme of the evening’s debate was that we are now living in a border-less global village with free movement of people, services and goods and that it’s wonderful and beneficial to the whole of mankind, it started with Livingston’s usual Marxist, pro-multiracial drivel and he was backed to the hilt by black Labour MP for Hackney North, Diane Abbot, who also sat on the top table, she stated that :

 ”You can come from any country in the world to discover yours dreams in London.” Especially if you are form the third world and jump the housing list, get a large council house and huge DHSS cheque at the end of every month, one can only suspect she means. She also said crime was down in her borough and London as a whole, omitting the fact that black gun crime and the teenage murder rate are spiralling out of control along with muggings.

On the ‘opposite’ side of the political spectrum was the editor of the Financial Times, Lionel Barber who exhorted the merits of unrestrained global capitalism and said that 30% of those employed in the City’s square mile were foreign born, we can only wonder though how many of them are paying tax in this country and are benefiting themselves rather than us? This is just other example of how Communism and Capitalism go hand in hand in promoting and creating multiculturalism and a one world agenda, with Nationalism as the only viable political alternative!

Thankfully on Thursday May 1st, the good decent indigenous people of Old London Town will have an opportunity to wipe the smiles of these treacherous creeps faces and elect BNP members to the London Assembly, who will speak up for the silent majority.

MAKE SURE YOU VOTE IN PERSON – NOT BY POST!

The BNP is no longer a lone voice warning of the inherant dangers caused by the foolishness of some western governments, including our own, recognition of Kosovo as an independent state!

For the ‘right wing’(?) ‘Spectator’ magazine has now published an article that fully endorses all that we’ve been saying about this travesty of justice – perpetrated against Christians, on behalf of Islamic terrorists!

We can but hope that other media outlets, and politicians pick up on the simple wrongness of what has been done, in our name.

 Is this crazy, or is this crazy?

The decision by Britain, America and certain other European countries to recognise Kosovo as an independent state is mind-blowingly stupid and suicidal and of a piece with their obvious determination to capitulate in the war for civilisation. It is a rotten decision for the following reasons:

1) It endorses a breach of a country’s right to maintain its own integrity. Serbia is a properly constituted democratic country. To recognise the validity of such a secession is to undermine the principle of a country’s right to determine its own composition. It puts up two fingers to international law, which explicitly recognises Serbian authority over Kosovo and upholds a state’s right to its own sovereignty. It opens the way for any other breakaway movement to do the same, both in the Balkans and around the world. So Tamils can now claim a precedent for seceding from Sri Lanka, Corsicans from France, Basques from Spain. And after Kosovo, can Scotland be far behind?

2) It asserts that religion matters more than nationality. This is multiculturalism taken to its lunatic natural conclusion. It says in effect that nationality is not the glue that must bind people of different creeds together, but religion or ethnicity can be allowed to break the nation apart. Every nation with restive ethnic minorities will now be undermined by this endorsement of illegal Balkanisation. Serbians will now find themselves foreigners in their own country. And as Eldad Beck applies the same thinking to Israel — whose kamikaze government is said to be ‘thinking about’ recognising Kosovo too — a horrific potential scenario presents itself:

In contradiction to all the pessimistic predictions, Israel and the Palestinians are able to successfully conclude negotiations on a final-status agreement, among other things based to incentives provided by the European Union. In the final stages of negotiations, Israeli representatives cave in to international pressure and waive the demand to recognize Israel’s unique Jewish character.

A short while after the agreement is signed, an uprising breaks out in the Galilee, in the Triangle area, and in the southern Negev desert, with Arab Israelis demanding a cultural and political autonomy that would enable them to manage their own lives while disconnecting from the State of Israel’s ‘Jewish’ institutions.

The bloody clashes between the sides prompt the United Nations to call on Israel to restrain itself and consider the deployment of multinational forces to serve as a buffer. The European Union threatens to renounce Israel’s special status if it fails to act immediately in order to meet the demands of the minority living within it. Israel’s dependence on the EU is so great that it is forced to capitulate and turn into a ‘greater Tel Aviv’ shtetl.

3) It gives victory to the forces of ethnic cleansing. Although the Serbs under Milosevic committed atrocities, the Kosovars started the killing in their revolt against a sovereign country and drove out between 150,000 and 200,000 Serbs. In the past eight years 1,248 non-Albanians have been killed, with many more kidnapped, now presumed dead. 151 spiritual and cultural monuments in Kosovo have been destroyed by Albanians and 213 mosques built with money from Saudi Arabia. Eighty per cent of graveyards have been destroyed or desecrated, with no response from the international community. The Albanians have turned Christian graveyards into car parks, playgrounds and rubbish dumps. Anything relating to Serbia or Christianity libraries, public records, books, names of places and even towns have been wiped out.

4) Most important of all, an independent Muslim Kosovo is a beachhead for radical Islam in Europe. Al Qaeda has been operating in Kosovo since the early 1990s. Jihadis from Yemen and Chechnya have been fighting with the Kosovo Liberation Army and Saudi is pouring money into the Kosovo mosques thus turning them into Wahhabi hotbeds of radicalism. Caroline Glick notes in the Jerusalem Post:

In 2006, John Gizzi reported in Human Events that the German intelligence service BND had confirmed that the 2005 terrorist bombings in Britain and the 2004 bombings in Spain were organized in Kosovo. Furthermore, ‘The man at the center of the provision of the explosives in both instances was an Albanian, operating mostly out of Kosovo… who is the second ranking leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army, Niam Behzloulzi.’

It was at the Battle of Kosovo in 1389 that some 70,000 died to keep the Islamic Ottoman Empire from advancing further into Europe. What is the point of fighting the jihad in Iraq when we are cheerfully opening the door to it in that very same place?

Russia’s President Putin has warned that recognising Kosovo will rebound very badly upon the countries who have blundered into endorsing it. The fact that this outcome is merely the inevitable consequence of the war so unwisely prosecuted by those countries against Serbia does not soften its deeply alarming implications. Putin is warning only too correctly of the dangers to the west of this development and the supreme folly of endorsing it.

For once, Putin is on the right side and Britain and America are utterly wrong. That is the measure of this debacle.

MUSLIM radicals have demanded Sharia law across Britain “without compromise”.

Extreme Islamics said the hardline system – where people are punished by stoning and beheading – is the future.

Speaking at a meeting in Birmingham, Abu Ibraheem said: “Let us make this absolutely clear. Islam is not subject to dilution, compromise or relegation.

“The behaviour of some Muslims is failing miserably to meet these commands.”

About 50 activists held the meeting in the same town where terrorist Parviz Khan, 36, plotted to behead a British soldier.

Ten thousand leaflets were distributed to attract moderate Muslims.

They criticised comments by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, 58, who suggested parts of Sharia law may be good for the UK.

Abu Abdullah, who spoke at the meeting, added: “The purpose of this was not to discourage Muslims from following English laws.

“It is to educate people about Sharia and its meanings.”

One of our members provides us with a little cerebral “food for thought” this evening:

Nick ‘Calamity’ Clegg, the Lib-Dems’ lightweight leader, has called for an all-or-nothing referendum on the EU. This must rate at the very summit of political posturing. The Lib-Dems, like Labour and the Tories, promised a referendum on the EU Constitution before the last election, but just as Labour are gerrymandering around the problem by calling it a ‘Treaty’, and therefore exempt, so now the Lib-Dems are moving the goal posts to an impossible position. In knowing that they will never get a referendum for Clegg’s ‘all in-or-all out’ vote, they neatly side-step the call to reject the last piece of the jigsaw. Nick Clegg, by his own admission, is a screaming Europhile and this almost certainly explains this nonsense about all-or-nothing.

Clegg knows, just like the rest of us, that the chances of withdrawing completely from the EU in one fell swoop is wafer thin at best. He, like us, knows that the most important first step is to stop this final deathblow before ratification. From then on we can secede in ever greater stages. But, in order to fulfil his dream of selling Britain out, he’s somehow managed to come up with, paradoxically, the most transparent smoke screen ever devised. The Lib-Dems say they would abstain if the Conservatives successfully call for a referendum on the treaty. If he was really concerned about giving us the option to withdraw he would not only call for a referendum on complete withdrawal, but also keep pushing for a referendum on the Lisbon ‘Treaty’ as a back up at least! The truth is that Clegg knows that as long as he can do his bit to deflect attention away from ‘Lisbon’ then he’ll achieve his goal of European domination for Britain. Do not be fooled by this blatant subterfuge!
