Two-Faced Labour Hypocrites Caught Out over Guns and Kids
On the very same day that a Labour Party sock puppet newspaper tried to smear the Young BNP for holding a small-bore shooting training session, it was announced that there had been a huge surge in school rifle ranges across the country — all part of a Labour Party-backed education plan.
The number of schools introducing rifle ranges for pupils has surged since ministers backed shooting sports last year, according to the National Small-bore Rifle Association (NSRA). There has been a six percent rise in membership from schools since Richard Caborn, Labour’s then Sports minister, backed the sport last May.
Last May, Labour Minister Caborn said: “We want to boost the number of people who take part in shooting sports, particularly among young adults. We are investing £600m in developing medal winners for 2012 and shooting will benefit greatly from that.”
However, an article in the slimy Daily Mirror newspaper, based on an article on the BNP website which reported on the YBNP’s Red, White and Blue camp, quoted Labour Home Office minister and well-known extremist leftist crank, Tony McNulty, as saying it “was disgraceful to teach children to use weapons,” and that “I have never seen anything so irresponsible. Teaching young children to use knives and guns is reprehensible.”
McNulty had better have a word with his colleague, the sports minister then, because we are sure he would not want the public to think that his party was “reprehensible and irresponsible” by encouraging children to learn how to shoot.
Mike Howson, the BNP’s National Youth Officer, and the man who organised the YBNP camp about which the Daily Mirror wrote, expressed his appreciation for that newspaper’s coverage.
“Ever since that article appeared, we have been flooded out with new recruits,” Mike said, adding that just today he had purchased another three firearms to be able to offer the increased number of recruits the training they desired.
Mike, who was a training NCO in the army, a currently qualified small arms instructor and a training officer for a well-known youth organisation, in addition to his YBNP activities, said that the YBNP was all about encouraging responsible attitudes towards arms, discipline and patriotism amongst young British people.
“The squalid attempts by Labour and its Marxist rat press to smear the YBNP for an activity which Labour Ministers have not only endorsed, but put state money into funding, will be seen by the public for what they are: pathetic, two-faced hypocrisy.”
* An academy due to open in September in a deprived area of south Bristol is believed to be the first of the Labour government’s flagship schools to have an on-site shooting range. Sponsors of the Merchants’ Academy, in Bristol, said the sport “encourages discipline.”
Geoff Doe, the NSRA’s director of shooting, said discussions were underway with teachers in the Midlands about extending a pilot shooting scheme at one school to a total of 16.
“It’s a sport that requires respect for others, control; it’s not an energetic sport; you have to be very concentrated — cool, calm and collected,” he said.
“Teachers say that pupils who were disruptive in a classroom environment behave better after training on a range. They learn discipline and respect. The Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, the Girl Guides, Scouts and Cadets all promote shooting. People who commit street offences don’t come from a [rifle] club background.”
* Perhaps McNulty would prefer schools to have homosexual propaganda fed to them instead? (See alongside for McNulty photographed reading a copy of gay magazine 3Sixty, in September 2006 when he publicly endorsed that publication.)
