How much longer will a mere 500 Million people (the white ethnic minority) have to be responsible for feeding, clothing, educating and caring for 5.5 Billion people (the entire rest of the world)?.

If the tired mantra of the left that everyone is the same where reality, then would not these other nations have developed the means to look after themselves by now, they do have the resources do they not?. Or will they continue to call us racist bigots?, as they stand there with their hands out, since we have shown them that begging and blackmailing is infinitely more profitable than working for a living.

“I understand your utter frustration about this aid to India. As an Indian I am also very much disgusted with the Congress Party which is distroying My beloved Motherland India. Its leaders are no different from ALL the Lab/Con & Lib in Britain. They are making us beggars and taking us for a ride by pandering to MUSLIMS DEMAND….”.

I would like to express my sincere thanks for your kind message, solidarity amongst nationalists in this dark hour is vital. The traitors may have the whip hand at the moment, but we are the many and they are the few. Best regards.

Dear BNP Members,

I understand your utter frustration about this aid to India. As an Indian I am also very much disgusted with the Congress Party which is distroying My beloved Motherland India. Its leaders are no different from ALL the Lab/Con & Lib in Britain. They are making us beggars and taking us for a ride by pandering to MUSLIMS DEMAND.

Anyway, back to the issue of the British Aid, for you information we the BJP supporters would not want INDIA to receive any AID from any nations; period. It is our promise that once the BJP comes back to power, we will write to our MPs to urge the Indian government to return back the money, the whole 800million quids that is.

Despite we live continents apart I believe our aspirations are alike. We would also like to get rid of all alien cultures and non native religions from our sacred soil INDIA. As such I would appreciate very much if you brothers and sisters would kindly discourage churches and those Britishers who donate money to futile efforts so souls could be harvested from India.

Secondly, I believe our common enemy is Islam.

Welcome aboard, puliman. Your contributions are refreshing and welcome on these pages. We in the BNP are busy establishing links to movements such as yours, all over the world. Vive La Resistance! -Ed

The Finest thing Britain did for India was give it the English Language the Greatest unifying force it has ever known in its history

Stringbag : What you say is true. A few years ago I was chatting to an Indian nationalist residing in this country. We spoke about politics and he brought up the Raj. He said the worst thing that Britain ever did to India was to leave. He commented on the productivity that India gained, specifically mentioning the railway system that enabled vaster trade than had ever been known before. Without denying the excesses of British imperialists, on balance the British occupation was immensely beneficial, echoing down the decades to this very day.

Shame the new occupation of the British Isles will have a reverse effect.

Firstly, may I congratulate the Indian Government on their technological achievement. While doing so, may I ask that the Indian Government respectively decline any aid our generous, but completely stupid, Government gives, as this money is required in Britain in order to help sort out the mess the caused by the British Government’s own incompetence.

These BEGGING BOWL nations have had £Billions off the British since the end of empire! Its time we said “ENOUGH” These bloody scroungers will be leeching off us for ever more, as long as the guilt ridden LIB-LAB-CON rule over us! Its time these nations stood on their own two feet! They wanted the “White Man” out of their counrtries, but they still expect us to subsidise them!!!

And just up the road from me, in a local branch library, they are conning young people into giving up their time and talents to raise money for a library in India. What is it with these Indians?
Haven’t they got the decency and honesty to admit that, if they can spend all that money on a space programme just to keep up this act of ‘international poseurs par excellence’ they see their own educational needs and return the £825 million to us and not expect our citizens to waste their time and money on charity projects which clearly the Indian government shouldn’t need? I’m beginning to see these people as the biggest gaggle of dishonest, deluded, conceited, grasping scroungers on the planet.

@ nitinmittal

I have read your link and there it is in black and white (if you’ll excuse the phrase) that a new package of development aid for 825 million pounds is in the pipeline for India. I think that more than covers the cost of the Koh-i-noor diamond. With improved business ties and trade agreements, India is set to make millions out of Britain in the future, so why dwell on the past?

Britain is as concerned as ever to improve the role of women in Indian society, even after over 50 years of self-rule. We always disapproved of suttee and the put-upon position of many Indian women and sadly progress seems as slow as ever. We have always put effort into improving Indian health and education, witness our legacy of schools and hospitals. Why are so many of India’s own children still being denied schooling, whereas here in Britain we dedicate vast swathes of our dwindling resources to making sure they have a good start in life, to the detriment of our own kind in many cases?

A delegation of Oxonian and Imperial College academics, two senior business “nabobs” (or Dicks, as we call them) and black gold Olympic champions can only bode ill for the retention of our universities, industries and leisure pursuits in British hands for native British use.

Why hasn’t India jumped at the chance of joining the Financial Action Taskforce to reduce help for terrorism? You’re right, it doesn’t sound as if India needs aid; this sound more like protection money to me.

I don’t blame the Indians for accepting 800 million odd quid in developmental aid, after all, you never look a gift horse in the mouth. I blame the scumbag politicians here for offering it. That is who is to blame, no-one else.

The Indian space mission – It is costing about 80 million dollars, or to put it another way, less than Man Utd paid for Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney! They are also carrying satellites and equipment for the US and other countries, so the mission will pay for itself. The purpose of it is to map the mineral resources of the moon.

I am saddened that the UK is not undertaking missions of this kind and the fact that successive governments have neglected or destroyed our world class scientific and industrial base.

If you’re fed up of this too, you know what to do when election time comes around!

P.S. Use a pen on your ballot paper, so it cannot be altered or erased!

nitin – “btw The british plundered india for 200 years.”

There’s certainly something in the “looting” charge, but there again long established local customs were undoubtedly being followed, as Robert Clive’s speech to the House of Commoms illustrates. And it’s interesting that the term “nabob” which acquired such a pejorative meaning here, similar to City spiv, was lifted straight from the Indian language:

“Indostan was always an absolute despotic government. The inhabitants, especially of Bengal, in inferior stations, are servile, mean, submissive, and humble. In superior stations, they are luxurious, effeminate, tyrannical, treacherous, venal, cruel………From time immemorial it has been the custom of that country, for an inferior never to come into the presence of a superior without a present. It begins at the nabob, and ends at the lowest man that has an inferior. The nabob has told me, that the small presents he received amounted to 300,000 1. a year; and I can believe him; because I know that I might have received as much during my last government.The Company’s servants have ever been accustomed to receive presents. …………..”

Having said that it is hard to see that India would have become the united country it is now but for British rule, and of course the British left behind a great deal of valuable infra-structure in use to this day, to say nothing of cricket.

We British nationalists wish India well, but we see no reason to pay money, we haven’t got, to a country that can afford a space programme. Much of India’s population remains in desperate poverty and wealth distribution is extremely unequal; but these are political choices for the Indian people. We just desire to keep our noses out of other people’s business.

There is an old Indian joke:

When the British ended the Raj, they said “OK we’re going now”

to which the Indians responded “OK, but we’re going with you”.

I am so happy that our Prime Minister has got his priorities right. I really don’t care that my family will be on the breadline when our Taxes increase next year, and honestly am quite happy to sit here freezing because we can’t afford to turn the heating on. Really, I am. Especially when I hear that by doing without such frivolous things as food and heat, my taxes can contribute to India taking such a momentous step into the future for mankind by sending an unmanned rocket to the Moon.

Oh wait – hasn’t that been done before?

Never mind – perhaps the Indian Government is looking for new lands to colonise for their ever-growing population? So perhaps Gordon Brown is not so stupid and has a cunning plan – if the Indian Government can send their excess population to the Moon, they won’t all want to come here?

I can’t make sense of aid for India and Pakistan and China – China!! Can you believe it!? But what’s the establishment’s explanation?

Is it just that they’ve been giving aid they don’t like to say ‘no’ even when the aid becomes totally inappropriate?

pendragon – it depends what you mean by ’space race’. If you mean going to the moon and Mars and colonising them, for the foreseeable future it’s a non-starter. This isn’t the same as military applications.

The Overseas Aid Budget is about £6bn now and there are 11.58m pensioners so we could cancel the OAB and give every pensioner a £500 per year rise. There are only 2.7m pensioners over 80 years of age so if we gave it to the over 80s instead that would mean a rise of more than £2000 per year. There would also be the additional benefit that when this money was spent it would be spent, for the most part, within the UK, which would be beneficial for our own economy.

When you start looking at the pointless, the unfair, and the simply extravagant areas of government expenditure and start thinking about alternative ways of using the money that would directly benefit the ordinary people of our country its a bit of an eye opener.

Ghandi wanted us out and they got their wish except we keep doling out the handouts to them. Independence means just that – you go it alone, but the unelected one will keep giving them our money instead of it going it all our pensioners and everywhere else it is needed .
Only the BNP will put a stop to this criminal waste of our resources.

Hmmm, perhaps why they don’t like us, then. -Ed
