The British National Party has launched in the west London suburb of Hillingdon with over forty supporters packing a local venue for the inaugural meeting.

First speaker was Hounslow Organiser Dan Finch who spoke on the turning political tide and the BNP’s prospects. He pointed out that the other parties had played a major role in creating the economic crisis in which the country now found itself. The BNP, he said, having clean hands in this regard, was being aided greatly by the fact that people could see that the party had been correct in its predictions.

The guest speaker was Paul Golding, newly elected councillor, who spoke on the media and the forces which drive it. He gave a lucid and insightful view of the media’s agenda, and went on to detail the BNP’s current campaigns and internet strategy. These were, he said, a very effective tool in the BNP’s armoury.

Questions were taken from the floor for almost 40 minutes in a very animated and interesting discussion. Local members announced their intention to start a weekly leafleting group with the first outing being set for this coming week.
