10 Meetings with over 1,000 People Attending: A Typical BNP Week
The British National Party is not only the country’s fastest growing political party, but is also the most active! In the last week alone, no less than 10 BNP branch meetings were held up and down the length and breadth of the country, with in excess of 1,000 people in attendance.
Kicking off the week’s meetings on Monday was party chairman Nick Griffin, who spoke in the town library of the historic East Lincolnshire market town of Louth. The 100-strong audience was delighted to hear that his grandmother had been born in the town, with the family name, Strawson, still common in the area.
Meeting chairman Chris Birchmore reported on recent activities including Rev. Robert West’s 11 percent first-time vote in a very conservative rural seat in Lincolnshire Wolds. Next up was fund holder Jeff Drew, who spoke of the branch’s Red, White and Blue money raising success.
Nick Griffin’s speech was about the impact of the liberal elite’s deliberate demolition job on Britain’s national freedom, social stability, economy and ethnic identity. The audience included many new inquirers (including a fair sprinkling of ex-activists from the effectively defunct Lincolnshire UKIP) and members.
The next evening, Nick Griffin spoke to over 100 people in Solihull in the West Midlands, at a meeting in the Royal British Legion Club, chaired by Andy Terry. The first speaker was Marlene Guest who entertained and moved the audience with an account of her anti-corruption campaign in Rotherham, and the impact of immigration and globalisation on her home town. It was a powerful speech which was very well received.
Nick Griffin then did a question and answer session, which covered a huge range of topics, which included the BNP’s opposition to sending British soldiers to fight and die in wars that have nothing to do with Britain, withdrawal from the EU, and making criminals afraid of an effective justice system.
On the same night, less than 15 miles away, local activists John Reid, Roger Phillips and John Salvage shared a platform with Arthur Kemp, from the BNP’s department of information and education, before an enthusiastic audience of 60 in Wolverhampton. Chaired by firebrand organiser Simon Patten, the meeting was highly entertained by the wit of the two Johns, who spoke on the need to be active and of the growth of the Patriot Business Directory respectively.
Roger Phillips delivered an impassioned speech calling on supporters present to become activists, explaining the different ways in which each and every person could contribute. Arthur Kemp then spoke on the institutional anti-white racism which permeates the ruling elite, giving examples of how British people are discriminated against and of how the BNP will set the situation right.
The next evening, Wednesday, Nick Griffin spoke before 50 people in Derby at a meeting chaired by group secretary Angie Fearns. He spoke on the lib-left demolition job against all the things British people used to take for granted and which together made Britain our home, and a decent, safe, prosperous and free one at that.
The Derby group is hard at work raising funds in a number of innovative ways, doing car boot sales and will also shortly be organising an informal ‘Meet the BNP’ fund-raising buffet. The East Midlands is going to be making a real push in the European elections, and the relatively new Derby group are certainly doing their bit to prepare and finance that campaign.
The same night, 150 people turned out to hear local super activist Colin Porter and Arthur Kemp speak in Barnsley at a meeting chaired by organiser Ian Sutton. Colin, speaking in public for the first time, provided a humour filled powerful presentation on why the BNP was the only party to provide any real alternatives to the current mess in which the country finds itself, and was very well received.
Arthur Kemp then spoke on the immigration invasion. He explained exactly how the BNP would solve the Third World immigration problem by a four-fold programme: (1) By simply enforcing existing promises made by previous governments to only let “good immigrants” in; (2) By encouraging the greater use of the already existing Home Office voluntary repatriation scheme; (3) By introducing laws such as the outlawing of Halal ritual slaughter, which will make it clear to groups which are culturally alien to British civilisation that they are not welcome to bring their ways to this country; and (4) By declaring a total halt to immigration and the introduction of policies which will lead to a reversal of that process. This will, he said, ensure that British people remain a majority in this country forever.
The next evening, Thursday, over 100 people jammed a public house in Ashfield for a BNP meeting chaired by organiser Mick Clarke. Mick spoke first, detailing the growth of the Ashfield branch since its first meeting which attracted only 12 people.
He was followed by local Councillor Darran Burke who spoke on how easy it was to become active and known as a BNP representative. He compared the sea change in opinion in his own council from the time he had first walked in, when the other councillors had expected him to be some kind of alien because he was BNP. Now however, he is fully accepted and other councillors regularly call on him for help and there is not any problem with his political party affiliation.
Arthur Kemp spoke next, returning to the theme of institutional anti-white racism which is endemic in all aspects of the Labour and Tory parties, even to the point where they have all actively created a system which discriminates against native British people’s interests in all walks of life.
There were at least another four branch meetings elsewhere in the country, which means that in total well over 1,000 people attended BNP meetings this week — an all time high.
Collections at the meetings also raised well in excess of £2,500 in total, not to mention the many thousands of literature pieces which were distributed and new members gained.
Nick Griffin inquired about the British Legion in Solihull allowing the BNP to use its premises and was told the BL said they were happy to let any party use their premises–but no other parties are even holding meetings.
