North Wales Organiser Bill Murray Addresses Last 2008 Shrewsbury Meeting
Thursday 11th December saw Shrewsbury BNP hold their final meeting of 2008 with Bill Murray, North Wales organiser as their main guest speaker.
Speaking in front of more than 60 people, Mr Murray recounted tales from the field, including the politically-motivated arrests of the 13 Liverpool activists, and the resulting day of action in Liverpool on the 29th November.
Mr Murray raised a laugh from the crowd when he revealed that the police had mistakenly penned him in with the Communist protesters from the assorted unwashed groups, including the establishment-supported UAF.
“I managed to get out of that group which was trying to prevent democratic assembly and free speech,” Mr Murray said to applause.
He appealed to supporters to do whatever they could by way of activism, such as writing letters to the papers, cyber-activism, or any of the more frontline activities such as leafleting or knocking on doors.
Phil Reddall, North Shropshire organiser, also encouraged people to get involved and help their local organisers.
“Being a member is one thing, but people need to muck in and take responsibility for advancing the party electorally in any way they are able,” he said.
James Whittall, the South Shropshire and Bridgnorth organiser then took to the floor and continued with the activism theme. He warned that, as a people, we were under attack from a hostile establishment and media, and that it was up to every person in that room to do their bit to save their country.
Mr Whittal spoke about demographics and how ethnic minorities were often voting en-bloc to advance their own agendas. “We as a people must start to do the same. It is up to our people to spread the word as nobody else will do it,” Mr Whittal said.
“The fact that a Bangladeshi Community Centre is now being proposed in Shrewsbury is an example of how rural Britain is under attack from multiculturalism in a way that many people never thought possible,” he said. “This is no longer somebody else’s problem.”
A collection was taken and, as usual, the people of Shropshire were generous, with over £200 being raised before those present tucked into the buffet prepared by Helen, Rayna and Maureen.
