Regular readers of BNP Regional News will be aware of the intense political tussle currently underway in Manchester between a resurgent and energetic British National Party on the one hand, and the discredited and moribund Labour establishment on the other.
Recently, Labour have resorted to blaming the BNP for the intractable local social problems caused entirely by Labour’s own failed policies of mass-immigration and Multiculturalism. On Saturday 25 October, Labour called a public meeting in the Moston Lane District of Manchester, a meeting characterised by one Labour Councillor as a “great, working together day for everyone in the area”. “We want ideas about how we can improve the Lane”, he said.
North Manchester BNP Organiser Derek Adams, who won 27% of the vote in local elections last May, wrote in advance to the meeting organisers, requesting the right to speak and receive equal democratic treatment at this Council Taxpayer-funded public meeting. Derek was not accorded the simple courtesy of a reply, but he resolved to attend the meeting with a small BNP delegation to question local Labour councillors on behalf of the one-quarter of the local electorate who vote BNP.
Predictably, Derek and his fellow BNP delegates were immediately ordered to leave the “public” meeting by Labour councillors, on the stated grounds that “Fascists [sic] are not invited”. Having proved their point, the official BNP party left the meeting, pausing only to note that it was Labour, not the BNP, who were pursuing the archetypal Fascist policy of suppressing free speech and democratic political dissent.
Clearly imagining they had succeeded in purging the meeting of all dissenters, the Labour councillors launched enthusiastically into their propaganda pitch. One Labour worthy loftily declared that the “public” meeting was open only to people from Moston, Harpurhey and Charlestown. Referring to the BNP’s Derek Adams, the councillor triumphantly proclaimed that “outsiders from Miles Platting” were not welcome and had all been successfully ejected. The irony of a Labour councillor objecting to the presence in a “public” meeting of a born-and-bred Mancunian from a neighbouring ward, whilst simultaneously encouraging mass immigration to Manchester from every corner of the world, was not lost on the audience.
With the Labour propaganda speeches mercifully concluded, and with no opportunity afforded for questions from the floor, the meeting format switched clumsily into a celebration of Multiculturalism. Unfortunately for Labour, events got off to an embarrassing start. An attractive female singer – clearly intended by Labour to represent the declining local British community – took the microphone and announced, in terms, that she had been asked to sing something typically British, but as it was not clear what “British” meant, she proposed to deliver some jazz songs instead. The Labour councillors’ acute embarrassment at this gaffe was all too evident; one councillor inspected her shoes intently, another turned an interesting shade of puce, while yet another maintained a tight-lipped rictus grimace. Clearly, the singer’s frank admission was not on Labour’s script!
There followed a series of dance displays by representatives of various ethnic communities, in which children featured heavily. While the audience genuinely appreciated the children’s efforts, there was a tangible sense of unease in the room at Labour’s unseemly willingness to use innocent kids for their narrow propaganda purposes.
By now, a steady stream of people were deserting the meeting, dismayed by the absence of the promised opportunity to put forward their ideas for improving Moston. On the pavement outside, many people expressed their discontent with Labour in strong terms to sympathetic BNP activists, who busily handed out several hundred leaflets explaining the political context of the meeting. Not one BNP leaflet proffered was rejected or handed back.
The few ordinary local people still lingering inside the rally were outnumbered by a great throng of invited ethnic guests, Labour councillors and their flunkies, and a contingent of local BNP supporters overlooked during Labour’s earlier political purge. In fact, probably the only thing that united the disparate groups in the room was their enjoyment of the copious free hot food, kindly provided by Manchester Council Taxpayers.
Overall, the Moston Multicultural rally represented a considerable political blunder by the Labour Party. Their use of public money to fund the event obliged Labour to maintain the fiction that the rally was a public meeting, open to all. By expelling all the BNP supporters they recognised, Labour proved that the rally was, in fact, just a narrow party-political stunt. By their intolerance of any opposition, Labour demonstrated their habitual contempt for free speech. By raising expectations of a full and frank debate, and then delivering only Labour propaganda and publicly-funded Multiculturalism, Labour created a groundswell of anger among many of those in attendance. And finally, by involving children in their propaganda campaign, Labour proved their utter disregard for accepted norms of political discourse.
Labour have now enlisted the support of the local Advertiser newspaper in a desperate attempt to repair the damage by spinning the outcome of the Moston rally to their advantage, but local people will not be convinced. Labour have already been well and truly rumbled in North Manchester.
