British soldiers’ lives are one of the most valuable assets this nation has, and should only be risked in conflicts in which British interests are directly affected.

This simple and logical core belief is paramount to the British National Party’s defence policy, which demands self-sufficiency for our island nation in all aspects.

As such, the BNP is committed to withdrawing from the illegal and immoral wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the prosecution for war crimes of all Westminster officials who deliberately tricked this nation into those conflicts which have cost billions and at least 300 British lives.

The people to be prosecuted for war crimes will include the leaders of the parliamentary political parties who supported the war – Labour’s Blair and Brown, the Tory’s Hague, Duncan Smith, Howard and Cameron – and all officials who conspired to prepare the pack of lies which provided the “justification” for the invasion of Iraq.

A BNP government will never commit British troops to any conflict which does not directly affect British interests – ever.

Britain can only be safe if it is able to defend itself without being dependent on any other country. Britain therefore needs to have a credible and independent defence against all threats – and the ability to use this wisely.

Successive cuts in defence spending have left Britain’s armed forces perilously weak. We will boost Britain’s armed forces to ensure that they are able to deal with any emergency, and defend our homeland and our independence.

The BNP’s defence policy is to:

- Strengthen our conventional forces;

- Retain a genuinely independent nuclear deterrent and produce all our weaponry in Britain;

- Only commit British forces when British national interests are at stake;

- Preserve and restore our historic County Regiments;

- Bring our troops back from Germany and withdraw from NATO, since political developments make both commitments obsolete;

- Close all foreign military bases on British soil;

- Refuse to risk British lives in meddling ‘peacekeeping’ missions in parts of the world where no British interests are at stake;

- Restore national service for our young with the option of civil or military service.

The time has come for change.

Report by John Ryde – The British National Party’s latest Leicester branch meeting was another unqualified success. The region has experienced an unprecedented number of new memberships and enquiries about the party, coinciding with the spectacular growth which is also occurring nationally.

East Midlands regional organiser Geoff Dickens thanked all who worked and contributed to the “Battle for Britain” fundraising effort. This resulted in the full payment for the 2.4 million glossy EU leaflets to be distributed in the region.

Next speaker was Peter Cheeseman, who gave a humorous account of joining the party and attending his first meeting. He received much applause.

Keith Addison, the next guest speaker, spoke on the economy. The picture painted was grim, and Mr Addison reminded everyone of the post-war slogan, “Export or Die.” He said Labour has chosen the latter.

Regional Elections Officer Wayne McDermott then brought the audience up-to-date on the huge number of candidates that the BNP are fielding across the East Midlands for the County Council elections on June 4th.

Mr McDermott also thanked local activists who have distributed tens of thousands of warm-up leaflets that have resulted in massive interest and enquiries about the party.

Following the interval, the BNP’s East Midlands number one Euro candidate, the Revd Robert West, outlined the hypocritical stance of the established churches to the BNP, when in fact they should be supporting our policies.

Over £600 (and one euro) was raised for branch funds.

The massive rise in Third World immigration and the resultant increase in juvenile crime has forced Leyton Council in East London to start with a metal detection screening programme at local schools in an attempt to detect weapons being carried by the ‘pupils’.

Waltham Forest’s Leyton Council has announced that it will install metal detectors at all of its twenty two secondary schools. The first, put in at Lammas School and Sports College yesterday, attracted much media attention (image alongside) with its airport style detection systems being used to screen children as they queued up to go to class.

Some 36 percent of the population of Waltham Forest belongs to minority ethnic groups. According to the Waltham Forest Youth Offending Team data set for 2001, crime figures for young people show that non-white youth are responsible for 54 percent of all criminal offences (source).

The local index of deprivation score for Waltham Forest is higher than the national average and it is consistently ranked as one of the most deprived English local authority districts.

Children under the age of 16 years account for nearly one in five of the population of Waltham Forest and this is expected to increase. The largest increase is expected amongst 10-14 year olds. A report on poverty by the council in 1996 also showed that 25 percent of the children and young people lived in households with no one in employment, nearly one-third of children were eligible for free school meals because their parents were on income support, and over 8,000 children lived with single parents.

There are also increasing numbers of unaccompanied refugee children, children with special needs status, and those excluded from school. The Child Poverty index shows that over 50 percent of children aged 15 and younger in Waltham Forest live in the nine wards which are among the top 20 percent of deprived wards nationally.

Cathall, High Street, Leyton, Wood Street, Hoe Street, Leytonstone, Lea Bridge and Valley wards have particularly high rates of crime in general and street crime and drug dealing in particular, and are home to the Waltham Forest gangs.

According to a recent report on gangs in the area, published on the Waltham Forest local government website, the increase in youth criminality is linked to “escalating school exclusion nationally, which was particularly high amongst Black African-Caribbean and Mixed Heritage students.”

According to the 2001 census – which is out of date – at least 17 percent of Leyton’s population was Muslim and at least 30 percent of the population was born outside Britain.

It is therefore no surprise that the official Islamic Shari’a Council of the UK has its head office in Francis Road, Leyton.

The British National Party in North Wales is ready for the upcoming election, reports Bill Murray, Wales secretary.

“On Tuesday we had a seminar for senior officials on how the EU elections are going to be run,” Mr Murray said. “Although the vote takes place on June 4^th, the actual counting takes place on June 7^th, and we will be pulling out all the stops to ensure that the boxes are not tampered with in the intervening period,” he said.

In other activity, Mr Murray said Saturday saw a leafleting team complete a leafleting outreach in the Hawarden area, which saw 3,000 leaflets distributed.

“Next was a day of action in Wrexham where BBC Wales filmed and interviewed Councillor Ennys Hughes about her candidacy in the EU elections and myself about the growth of the party in North Wales,” Mr Murray said. An interesting video clip of this is below.

 ”There were over a dozen activists working our table in Wrexham town centre giving out a further 3,000 assorted leaflets and 500 Voice of Freedom papers, all producing an excellent response,” said Mr Murray, adding that there was also a leafleting team out in Newtown in Mid Wales who put out a further 2,000 leaflets.

Monday night saw North Wales’s monthly meeting where the leafleting campaign was discussed. All North and Mid Wales organisers were in attendance and further plans were made to prepare the party in the event of a general election being called.

“I am pleased to announce when it is called we will have a full list for North and Mid Wales,” said Mr Murray. “The spirit of the meeting was exemplified by the fact that the collection saw over £600 raised – one of the highest totals yet for the region.”

YBNP Training Officer reports — We wanted to do something slightly different to celebrate St George’s Day this year.

Our local group had marched at Sandwell, and had a patriotic dinner together at a local pub, but we wanted to do something that the children of our area would enjoy.

Having climbed Pen y Fan for St David’s Day, we settled on some sort of outdoor activity. We realised that not all children have had the opportunity to go camping and so we decided to rectify this.

The weekend following St. George’s Day we were blessed with glorious weather; it certainly felt like someone upstairs approved of our endeavour.

At the campsite, the first thing to be taken care of was the pitching of the England flag. All took a moment to watch it fluttering in the breeze before we set to work pitching the tents.

As previously mentioned, many of the children had never been camping before so the tents proved an excellent problem solving and team working activity for them. The more experienced ones helped the others, becoming acquainted in the process and having to use their communication skills.

Happily settled and already sporting some rather fetching grass and mud stains, we explored the campsite, picking up firewood along the way.

Explaining that considerate campers always ask permission before lighting a fire (we had done this before arriving at the site) we began to dig our pit. We soon realised that the shovel (provided by the campsite) was not at all up to scratch, so the children used their camp-craft knives and sharpened sticks to create a beautifully square pit.

As they worked we talked about how hard it would have been for our ancestors to create great earthworks using similar techniques, a sentiment now fully appreciated by the red-faced youngsters.

As with all camps we run, fire building forms an integral activity and the children were taught about the safety rules and fire triangle before the fire was set. They struggled at first, finding that the breeze impaired some of their best efforts. Then one youngster suggested making a wind break from the earth they had just dug. Before we knew it we had a blazing fire around which to gather for the weekend.

Given a chance, children will engineer creative solutions to problems which they will then remember for years to come.

That evening we had a meal fit for St George himself: baked potatoes with melted butter, hot from the fire and enough barbequed meat to feed an army of patriotic young lions. When the youngsters had finished washing up (no shirking on this camp) we snuggled down around the fire to have marshmallows and stories. We kicked off by telling the story of George and the dragon, then of how the Emperor Diocletian had put brave George to death for his beliefs.

It is extremely sad that children of this latest generation, myself among them until I joined the BNP and began to fill in the considerable gaps left by a PC education system, seem almost entirely unaware of the rich history of our people. That night at least, we had tried to put right a small part of that wrong. 

We went on to discuss other local tales, such as the building of Avebury, which was not too far from us and then each related some of our own stories of racial and political persecution.

Some of the stories told to me by a little ten year old girl and her mother left me feeling physically sick: beaten on the way home from school, tires slashed and windows put through. What made it far worse was the reaction, or should I say, non-reaction from the police.

But I reminded myself that the family was here, round this fire, sharing this story but still active members of the party and in the light of the members I’m sure I caught a glint of that stoic spirit found in all true English folk.

Having got to know each other a little better, we said our goodnights and headed off to bed, but not before gazing upwards to look at the stars that carpeted the night sky. I had never seen so many before, all shining brightly, each making its luminous contribution to the breathtaking scene.

I woke the next morning to the smell and sound of bacon sizzling in the pan and was presented with a cup of steaming tea by the grinning, smoky eyed leader of our group. “I could get used to this,” I thought, as I stretched and gulped my tea in the new dawn. After washing, changing and re-lighting the fire I waited contentedly for the young ones to rise and shine.

The smell of breakfast seemed to drag them yawning from their sleeping bags before too long and then it was just a case of packing up ready for the visit to a local hill fort. We meticulously covered our fire and removed any trace that we had ever been camping, explaining all the while how important it was to respect the countryside.

Piling into the cars we set off on a new adventure (for the children anyway, as the adults of the group had spent many a day atop of this hill fort and knew it like the backs of our hands).

During the journey we discovered that some of the children had never climbed a tree. The other youth leader and I looked at each other incredulously and were thus resolved to find a good sturdy climbing tree before the day was out.

The children climbed and climbed, with our flag flying proudly over the smallest child’s shoulder. It was a sight that made my heart leap with joy. No X-box, no mobile phones (apart from the emergency one obviously) no rap music, just wholesome, patriotic childhood experience. It was wonderful.

In true childlike fashion, it was decided that the day would not be complete until we had rolled down a steep incline. We had to refuse one of the fearless children’s suggestions that we roll the entire height of the hill to save walking, but found a nice mound down which to fling ourselves.

It was reassuring to see some of the more nervous children come out of their shells and take part in this, despite their anxieties. Building confidence and self belief is so important for children.

The youth leader and I described what life would have been like in Iron Age Britain, the children appreciating how hard this would have been compared to our snug tents and sleeping bags, and as we talked, a glorious sight arose in front of us.

A beautiful, strong sycamore with thick broad limbs grew invitingly a few feet away from us. We looked at each other for a moment, decided silently that this was our tree and then raced over the clumps of grass as if Gordon Brown himself, clutching an enormous tax bill, was chasing us.

Ben, the first to reach the tree, shot up it as though wearing a pair of jet powered rocket pants, followed quickly by Tristan. The other children were not quite so sure, but some kind words and a leg up can do wonders.

After our exhausting but thoroughly satisfying walk we said our goodbyes at the cars and each went our separate ways. It had been a most enjoyable weekend and we hope that the next one (in all likelihood, the Red, White and Blue) will be even better. Any patriotic British youth will always be welcome.

Britain will soon be forced to grant the right to live, work and claim benefits to tens of thousands of utterly bogus “asylum seekers” in terms of new European Union plans forcing this country to accept one in eight of all invaders who set foot in any of the 27 European Union countries and demand refugee status.

There is no upper limit on this figure – depending as it does on the actual number of invaders reaching the EU – but based on the most recent figures, it will mean an instant 22,500 more scroungers being given the right to parasite off the British taxpayer.

To add insult to injury, taxpayers will pay not only for food, accommodation and clothing, but also all legal fees incurred by these scroungers as they fight to prove the “validity” of their “asylum” claims.

Asylum seekers must also be given the right to work within six months of their arrival, enabling them to claim thousands of pounds in benefits if they cannot find a job. Their children must also be found school places.

The proposals, supported by Labour MEPs, are part of the EU’s Common European Asylum System and will be put to the European Parliament in Strasbourg for approval.

The EU proposals stem from appeals by nations such as Malta, Greece, Italy and Spain’s Canary Islands which have seen massive seaborne invasions from North Africa.

None of these “asylum seekers” are actually genuine, as they have all crossed dozens of safe countries to reach Europe. Britain’s membership of the EU now means that if the new plans come into force – and there is no reason why they will not – then this nation will once again be forced to accommodate its “fair share” of the burden.

The new rules say that EU member states will be forced to take the “refugees” or face huge fines. Invaders will be rehoused from states “confronted with a large number of asylum applications” such as Malta, to larger countries such as the UK — a reversal of the rule that requires applicants to seek sanctuary in the first safe country.

Member states would be compelled to accept a percentage of applicants in accordance with their population.

This would mean the UK taking in 13 percent of all refugees arriving in the EU — or 22,500 of the 322,000 average arrivals per year over the last 10 years.

How long can Scotland remain Scottish? That is the question being asked as new figures revealed that a third of all live births there are now from recent immigrants, mainly Eastern Europeans but also from Third World nations.

The estimated population of Scotland last June was 5,168,500 — up 24,300 on 2007 and the sixth year in a row it has increased. It was the highest figure since 1981.

Most of the increase was due to migration, according to figures released by the Registrar General for Scotland. In the 12 months to last June, births exceeded deaths by 3,900 — the biggest natural increase since 1991.

But there was a bigger net gain, of 20,000, from inward migration — 11,500 people from the rest of the UK, 7,700 from overseas, including ‘asylum seekers’, and 800 from the armed forces.

Registrar General for Scotland Duncan Macniven said the “new Scots” from Eastern Europe, especially Poland, had boosted the country’s population.

“We’ve had a net flow of 20,000 people into Scotland … and they are mostly coming from the rest of the UK,” he said. “But the pattern we’ve seen has been for Europeans — especially Eastern Europeans to settle here.

“About 70 percent of Eastern Europeans that come to Scotland are Poles — the rest are Lithuanians, people from Latvia and Estonia.”

In the year to last June, 38,500 people came to Scotland from overseas, including ‘asylum seekers’, while 30,800 went abroad.

Meanwhile, some 53,300 people came to Scotland from the rest of the UK, with 41,800 leaving Scotland to settle in other parts of the UK.

Among local authority areas, East Lothian saw the biggest population increase — up 1.8 percent — followed by Perth and Kinross (1.4 percent) and Midlothian (1.3 percent). Argyll and Bute had the biggest fall, down 0.9 percent, followed by the Western Isles and Inverclyde (both 0.4 percent).

There are currently 10,800 (one year ago the number was 8,853) schoolchildren in Glasgow who have English as a second language, a seventh of the total school population.

There are 102 different languages spoken at home by the children of immigrants. The most common after English are Punjabi, Urdu and Arabic, Chinese Mandarin, Polish, Cantonese, Swahili, Kurdish and Thai, French, German, Spanish and Italian.

Into this mix have come unprecedented numbers of ‘asylum seeker’ and ‘refugee’ families, many of whose children arrive at school unable to speak, read or write English. At the start of the school term last summer, twenty five children — none of whom spoke English — turned up at a Govanhill, Glasgow primary. There can be thirty seven children in one week arriving in schools across the city.

Three Muslim Albanian brothers have been sentenced to life in prison for plotting a jihad terror attack on an American army base – on the same day that Albania formally lodged its application to join the European Union.

Membership of the EU would allow Albanians free access to the rest of Europe, including Britain.

Prosecutors in New Jersey, USA, said the plot for which illegal immigrants Dritan Duka, Shain Duka and Eljvir Duka were sentenced, was “inspired by the idea of holy war against the United States.”

The three ran a roofing business in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and were among five foreign-born Muslims convicted in December of planning an attack at Fort Dix, about 40 miles east of Philadelphia. The attack was never carried out.

Defence attorneys argued during the eight-week trial that their clients were entrapped into making jihadist statements by FBI informants who obtained hundreds of hours of audio and video recordings.

During the trial, prosecutors called the men “radical Islamists” and said they discussed killing as many soldiers as possible in their planned attack.

Assistant US Attorney Thomas Fitzpatrick said they were motivated by what they saw as US oppression of Muslims. “They seem to have been motivated by revenge, by hatred and by animosity towards our way of life,” he said at a news conference after the sentencings.

The same day as the men were sentenced, Albania formally applied to join the European Union. Albania is one of Europe’s poorest countries and has yet to convince the rest of Europe that it is democratic.

In a report released in November, the European Commission said Albania needed to make more progress in strengthening its state administration and courts as well as in fighting organised crime and corruption.

Brussels had urged Albania to wait until after a parliamentary election on June 28 to make its application, saying that polls in post-Communist Albania have never been certified free and fair by international observers.

Albania’s bid follows fellow Balkan state Montenegro, which applied in December, and may be followed by Serbia this year. Albania and Croatia joined the US-led Nato security alliance earlier this month.

Recommended reading: Jihad: Islam’s 1,300 Year War on Western Civilisation (Arthur Kemp). For centuries, violent Muslims have been trying to capture Europe for Islam. Sweeping out from its origin in Saudi Arabia, Islam has expanded through violent conquest into North Africa, the Middle and Near East, and very nearly into Europe itself, attacking through Spain, Italy and the Balkans. Each time, the Islamic hordes were turned back by a united European military effort.

Today, the Islamic invasion is not being carried out with sieges, scimitars or cannon, but rather by immigration, birth rates and demographics. Given current trends, Europe is set to be overrun before the end of this century. This book puts the current crisis into historical perspective, showing that instead of being a “religion of peace,” violent Islam has, in fact, been waging war on all its self-appointed opponents since its inception.

Finally, this book dares to say what must be done if Europe is to avoid succumbing to the new invasion. The choice is hard, but is one which will determine whether Western Civilisation lives or dies. Softcover, 72 pp. £7.95  Click here to order.

Thursday 23rd April 2009 was a very busy St George’s Day for County Durham BNP with their outreach team visiting the North Yorkshire market town of Guisborough and holding a function that evening in Spennymoor.

The team arrived in Guisborough and was set up with their stall by 10:20 am. The slight delay in being fully set up by 10 am was due to members of the public wanting to purchase Voice of Freedoms and obtain their free information packs even before everything was completely set up. Local college students were eager to find out more about the party and even went off to purchase their own Union flags.

The North East’s number one candidate for the Euro elections, Adam Walker, excitedly informed our news team that, “Today has been our best day to date with around a whopping 85 percent positive feedback from the local inhabitants of Guisborough. The enthusiasm from the young students here is something to be very proud of. It was great to see them return to our stall after customising their Union flags in college and spending most of their morning visiting our party’s website, which they told us was awesome.”

There were even compliments and donations given to one of the party’s many ex-military personnel, Pete Molloy, who was manning the stall wearing his regimental blazer and medals. “It’s very heartening when members of the public come and thank you for your service to our country. I had many people, some even Second World War veterans, shaking my hand.”

Once the day’s campaigning in Guisborough was over, it was back to Spennymoor to prepare for the St George’s Day celebration in a local pub, where Mark Walker addressed the attendees.

Videos of both events below.

On Tuesday 21st April, the British National Party’s Operation Outreach reached the North Yorkshire seaside town of Whitby where the response from both locals and holiday makers was yet again overwhelmingly positive.

“At last, where have you been?” seemed to be the general consensus as party literature was snatched up from the stall throughout the day. 

“The day’s activity ended with traditional fish ‘n’ chips and a pot of tea paid for by a local fisherman who was delighted to see us in Whitby,” said County Durham Branch Organiser, Adam Walker, who was overjoyed with the day’s results.

Our Shropshire correspondent reports: Friday 24th April saw the British National Party’s famous Truth Truck take to the roads of South Shropshire where organiser James Whittall and his team were received very well by the locals in this rural part of the country.

The truck ventured into territory as far apart as Cleobury Mortimer, Church Stretton, Craven Arms and Ludlow, passing through many small villages on the way.

After many waves and thumbs up, the team concluded that the day had been a huge success. The truck had attracted a lot of interest, even from a local Conservative candidate who could not contain herself and took several photos of the truck as it passed through her street.

The British National Party will be contesting three seats in the coming Unitary Council elections in South Shropshire. With the West Midlands region being a target seat in the European elections, May is set to be a very busy month.

East Norfolk British National Party supporters held a very successful and enjoyable St George’s Day dinner in Norwich on the 23rd April, according to organiser Julia Howman.

Members enjoyed a delicious three course meal after a few opening words by Mrs Howman on how St George’s Day is getting bigger and bigger as the English assert their identity around the country.

The attendees then heard the legend of St George read by one of our dedicated members and the majestic This Sceptred Isle from Shakespeare’s Richard II was read aloud by Ken Howman.

Everyone raised their glasses with pride to England and St George. The evening raised £145.50 in election funds.

For decades, the British National Health Service was looked upon by the rest of the world as one of the most successful state run health services in the world.

Today, it is a laughing stock. The NHS is critically ill. NHS Trusts are sacking staff, closing wards, cancelling operations and refusing patients vital life-saving drugs. Meanwhile, ‘health tourists’ are costing the NHS £2 billion a year, and diseases such as TB and AIDS are on the increase as a result of immigration.

British doctors and nurses are unable to find work in the NHS because we are importing medical staff (often with questionable qualifications) from the Third World where they are desperately needed.

Sixty percent of NHS staff are bureaucrats, and there are now more managers in the NHS than beds — with many earning more than £100,000 per year.

The contracting out of cleaning (often to contractors employing illegal immigrants) has resulted in collapsing standards of cleanliness, with around 20,000 patients a year dying of hospital-acquired infections.

“Marketisation,” and particularly the Conservative-created Private Finance Initiative (PFI) schemes imposed by Gordon Brown, has been a disaster which is saddling Trusts and the taxpayer with enormous debts. We totally reject this attempt to turn the nation’s health service into a private profit centre for giant corporations.

The British National Party has the only plan by which our NHS can be nursed back to health.

The BNP is wholly committed to a free, fully funded National Health Service for all British citizens.

The BNP’s policy is to:

- Replace 100,000 NHS bureaucrats with doctors, nurses and dentists;

- Invest sufficient money in the NHS to provide a decent service to the British people;

- Bring hospital cleaning back in-house and make high cleanliness a top priority;

- End the scandal of foreign health tourism;

- Train and pay to retain British doctors, nurses and dentists instead of looting the Third World of staff who are desperately needed in their home countries;

- Revitalise the healthcare system by boosting staff and bed numbers, slashing unnecessary bureaucracy and by addressing the root cause of low recruitment and retention — low pay.

- We will see to it that no money is given in foreign aid while our own hospitals are short of beds and the staff to run them.

- Finally, more emphasis must be placed on healthy living with greater understanding of sickness prevention through physical exercise, a healthier environment and improved diets.

The time has come for change.

A European Union plan to force British courts to use foreign law – including Sharia law – in divorce matters is merely the thin edge of the wedge to introduce that legal system into this country on a formal basis, British National Party spokesman on Law and Order Michael Barnbrook has warned.

Mr Barnbrook, a former Metropolitan police inspector, said that the EU plan, known as Brussels II, will force divorce courts across Europe to hear cases using the laws of whichever country the couple involved “have close links.”

In practice, this means that a court in England handling a case involving people from France must use French law and a case involving Muslim people must use Muslim law, and so on.

“This might sound innocent on the surface, but when it is juxtaposed against a background of increasing demographic change due to immigration, it takes on a sinister significance,” Mr Barnbrook said.

“What it actually means is that Sharia law, and all other foreign legal systems, will be institutionalised into the British legal system, and will take precedence over British law.

“Once that is done, it is a simple step to demand that the legal principles enshrined in this ‘new’ legal system be applied to all other aspects of the courts’ jurisdiction as well,” he said.

“The large scale immigration invasion which Britain is currently experiencing would be seen as justifying the importation of foreign legal systems,” he said.

Mr Barnbrook pointed out that immigration has reached tsunami levels, with former government minister Frank Fields admitting that houses will have to be built at the rate of one every six minutes for the next 20 years to cope with the number of immigrants arriving in Britain.

“As huge numbers of these immigrants are coming from Islamic countries, the pressure will build to make Sharia law even more entrenched.”

Mr Barnbrook said that the only way Britain could avoid being Islamified was by voting for the British National Party. “The BNP is the only party which actively seeks to reverse the Islamification of this country and the preservation of Britain as a British nation,” he said.

The Labour regime will formally introduce anti-white legislation in the awarding of government contracts, Equalities Minister Harriet Harman has announced.

The measures mean that firms tendering for taxpayer-funded work could be judged on new criteria including the gender and how many non-whites they employ.

In practice this means a company staffed by white British people, even if able to deliver services at a cheaper rate and more efficiently, will be pushed aside in favour of a rival company which employs the “correct” number of non-whites.

In a bizarre twisting of logic which could only come from a deviant leftist like Ms Harman, she said her new Equalities Bill will mean the annual £175 billion public procurement budget will be used to promote “equality.”

Ms Harman’s version of “equality” is actually anti-white male discrimination. The draft bill will oblige employers to give preference to female or non-white job applicants over equally-qualified white men in order to make up race quotas.

She said: “All other things being equal, if there are two companies bidding for a contract and one has a much better equality record, then it would be down to the procuring authority to choose that one.”

Existing rules mean tendering firms can be asked about their general policy on diversity issues and any previous tribunal cases of discrimination.

Business leaders said that Ms Harman’s bill will hurt the UK economy. Miles Templeman, director general of the Institute of Directors, said: “Harriet Harman must be the only person in Britain to believe that in the midst of some of the most difficult business conditions in years, introducing yet more regulation is a way of ‘boosting economic recovery’.”

The Islamification of Britain which is the direct result of mass Third World immigration has now started to directly affect the Labour Party as well, after a Jewish would-be councillor was told by a senior party official that she was “too Jewish and too white” to stand in a Birmingham ward dominated by Afro-Caribbean and Muslim residents.

Ms Elaina Cohen was told by Labour’s former Lord Mayor councillor Mahmood Hussain (pictured) that he could not support her application for an inner-city ward because “my Muslim members don’t want you because you are Jewish.”

Mrs Cohen said: “I am shocked and upset that a member of the Labour Party in this day and age could even think something like that, let alone say it. 

“People should not be allowed to make racist comments like that. If someone in the party feels I cannot represent them because of my colour or religion, that’s ridiculous.”

Mrs Cohen had applied to stand as a Labour councillor for the Birmingham ward of East Handsworth and Lozells, which has a high Asian and Afro-Caribbean population. As one of Labour’s safest seats on Birmingham city council, the final candidate would be almost certain of victory at the June 4 by-election. 

But when Mrs Cohen telephoned 57-year-old Mr Hussain for his support, she was astonished to be told that she was too “white and Jewish” to be considered. 

Lorraine Briscoe, who runs a local community association, was sitting next to Mrs Cohen when the conversation took place on speakerphone last Tuesday. 

“I was disgusted that a councillor could make comments like that in 2009,” she said. 

“He told her they ‘will not vote for someone who is white and Jewish. My Muslim members don’t want you because you are Jewish.’

“Elaina then asked him if he had talked to his Muslim members about it and he said, ‘I don’t want to talk about it with you’ and hung up.”

Two days after the conversation, Mrs Cohen and another candidate were rejected by a pre-selection panel after failing to gain the support of the local party. Instead, members were presented with one candidate, black South African Hendrina Quinnen, who was selected by an almost unanimous vote. 

The development is the inevitable result of the Islamification of Britain, and the resultant importation of Middle East conflicts to these shores. As increasing numbers of Muslims settle and take over Britain, anti-Jewish events will steadily increase.

This has been the case in all European countries where Islamic immigration has been high. France in particular has seen dramatically increased anti-Jewish attacks which have all been Islamist in origin.

LAST week’s dire economic figures, on top of New Labour’s bluffing Budget, showed how the global free market threatens our wealth. This week’s swine flu epidemic, apparently starting in Mexico, shows how the global free market threatens our health.

The global free market makes new diseases more likely to arise and helps them spread across the world when they do. How so?

New diseases have actually emerged quite frequently since humanity began packing itself into crowded cities with good communications between them, together with living cheek-by-jowl with the animal and bird species from which they come.

Before agriculture, humans lived in scattered hunter-gatherer bands and had hardly any epidemic diseases – only TB and possibly one or two of the complex of viruses that cause similar symptoms we call the common cold. Epidemic diseases –plagues – only afflicted grazing animals and some birds that lived in huge herds or flocks amongst which they could spread. Any mutations of their diseases that could have infected humans did so very rarely, so that the chances of the second mutation then happening that makes the germ not only able to infect humans but able to spread from one human direct to another were nearly nil.

But once people started keeping herds and flocks that changed. One example of many – the cattle disease rinderpest mutated into the human disease measles, which was much more lethal when it first hit people and may have been the plague that killed off a quarter of the population of the Roman Empire between 165 and 170 AD. Measles we then passed on to dogs as canine distemper. Flu, for another example, was originally a disease, depending on strain, of pigs, chickens and ducks.

The rise of the global greed machine, together with the colossal increase of the human population worldwide, has massively increased the risk. In quest of profit for multinational corporations who will ship the timber they take to Japan and the West, illegal loggers hack their way ever deeper into the world’s rainforests.

In African very nasty diseases are lurking in the jungle, notably Ebola virus, which have so far only spared us a lethal pandemic because they have yet to evolve an efficient enough way to spread amongst humans. But on the evidence of many past plagues, one day they will.

With the fast, frequent high volume air travel the global free movement of capital and labour requires and encourages, it is now perfectly possible for someone to pick up a more infectious Ebola variant in a West African village at daybreak, fly from one of the many West African cities like Accra or Lagos with regular flights to London, and be coughing the virus all over a London Tube train in the evening rush-hour. Ebola kills over 90% of those it infects, as their innards literally dissolve and pour out of their orifices…and there are other almost as nasty potential plagues like Marburg virus where it came from.

The global market not only pushes its tentacles into dangerous places wherein diseases lurk. It also pulls billions of Third Worlders out of their villages into vast shanty towns around Third World cities, many bigger than London, to be exploited in its swetashops. Shanty slums, vastly overcrowded without sewage or running water – germ heaven. All a few hours flight time away from us.

Most of those Third Worlders would like to, and as many as can do, come to the West to work, legally otherwise, or seek asylum, bringing their interesting collections of exotic bacteria and viruses with them.

The global market is happy to encourage the free movement of labour, especially the free movement of cheap Third World labour to the West. As are major industrial and financial centres of the Global Market such as Shanghai. Surrounded by villages where villagers share their houses with chickens, ducks and pigs, just the species from which new diseases have come and are most likely to come. Then they commute to work in the big glass towers of the global multinationals, sharing offices with the executives who most often fly to the West on business. . . which is how SARS started!

In the West itself, notorious sources of new human diseases like pigs and chickens are crowded into batteries, hundreds packed side by side in a room, in quest of profit – or simply to achieve costs for farmers low enough to make a living from the meagre prices monopoly purchasers like Tescos can impose on them. Heavily dosed with antibiotics which promote faster growth but also breed antibiotic resistance in their bacteria – some of them, like Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus infectious to humans now, others potentially so. Should their germs mutate to infect humans, they will come already immune to the drugs we might use against them.

Fundamentally, the global market, by promoting urbanisation and free movement of labour encourages people to crowd together and move about a lot – the next deadly plague germ could ask for no better co-operation from its victims in its assault on humanity. The market even sends people to seek out the next deadly pandemic, pushing them into the most remote and disease ridden places, cutting down trees, building roads, importing their people into giant unsanitary cities linked by frequent fast planes carrying hundreds of people to the heart of the West.

Sooner or later this game of epidemic Russian roulette can have only one ending – when the hammer falls on the loaded chamber and BANG! – curtains. It may not be swine flu from Mexico this time – though it wasn’t SARS from South China last time. But it will be something, sometime soon.

The global market is turning the world into a giant germ incubator and distributor. Not deliberately, it doesn’t do anything deliberately, but nobody is in charge of the Global Market, it’s a blind machine driven by the multi-millionfold greed and ambition of its little, individually impotent, cogs. But if it doesn’t destroy itself first in other ways, or we don’t escape from it, it will unleash the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse, Pestilence, to stalk the Earth.

The BBC recently remade its classic 1970’s drama series, Survivors. Ridiculously Politically Correct the new series may have been, but it wasn’t at all unrealistic in depicting what will certainly happen eventually if the world continues to be run – however unintentionally, but as an inevitable side-effect of being run for global corporate profit – as an incubator and disperser for nasty new pandemic diseases.

What it showed, and what will happen if this goes on sooner or later, was a plague that killed nearly everybody and destroyed civilization. In fact, if it was just deadly enough, and killed –or even simultaneously incapacitated through sickness, just enough people (20%, 30%, 50%,we don’t know – yet) to cause to break down for just 48-72 hours the complex, just-in-time web of supply and distribution on which we all now depend for food, water and power, most of those the disease didn’t kill would die later in the chaos and collapse.

The 1918 flu epidemic, spread by the mass movements of refugees and demobilised soldiers at the end of the First World War, infected and made too ill to work for at least some days apiece 40% of the entire world population. It actually also killed more than died in the whole of that war – and, like the war, killed especially young fit adults.

Something no worse striking today might well cause enough disruption in today’s faster moving, more complex and interconnected global market world to bring about a total worldwide collapse of the web of civilization, the complex of production, distribution and control that puts food on our tables, clean water in our glasses, and power in our electric sockets, and takes away our waste safely and hygienically.

A web of global greed has made civilisation much more fragile, globally interdependent and vulnerable than it needs to be. If that collapse happens, billions will die in famine, riot, other diseases of social breakdown such as cholera and plague, and war.

We cannot do much about what happens to the rest of the world. But we can act to save ourselves, to ensure that when global greed unleashes the next Black Death, or worse, we survive.

We must break free, economically and politically, of the global web, and restoring complete and effective control of our borders to our own people. So that we can isolate Britain from infection – which as an island is relatively easy for us to do physically and ought to be politically – when we are menaced by the next flu from Mexico or lung infection from China or whatever.

Swine flu may be just as much an empty scare as SARS was, but one day something like it will not be. When that day comes, we can be ready and you and your families could live. We Britons could all be Survivors. If you help us build Lifeboat Britain.

Conservative Party hypocrite leader David Cameron has promised a “Tory war” on public-sector fat cats earning lavish taxpayer-funded salaries – but has studiously ignored his own party’s bloodsuckers who have ripped off the public with a string of “expense allowances” swindles to the value of millions of pounds.

Speaking at the latest dull Tory party conference in Cheltenham, Mr Cameron said he would publicly “name and shame” all civil servants, quango chiefs and town hall officials earning more than £150,000 per year.

Mr Cameron failed to mention Tory MP for Hertsmere, Herts, James Clappison, who claimed almost £100,000 of taxpayers’ cash for a second home while building up a property empire. Mr Clappison owns 22 houses which he rents out yet has pocketed £97,892 in Commons allowances intended to pay for a second home.

Mr Cameron also ignored the fact that all members of his party joined the Labour and Lib-Dems in voting for a five percent limit on price rises in the taxpayer-subsidised bars, restaurants and cafeterias of Westminster. This means that they will avoid the price hikes of up to eighteen percent faced by the public in supermarkets and other stores across the country. Taxpayers will be forced to pay an extra £5 million a year to bankroll the exclusive food and drink for the MPs.

Mr Cameron was also quiet about the £1.4 million spent on “fact-finding” visits to exotic destinations by backbench MPs from all parties. Locations for these “inquiries” by House of Commons select committees included Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Shanghai, New York, Sydney and Barcelona. Accommodation in five-star hotels, first-class flights and a daily cash allowance for “extras” are all provided from Treasury funds. MPs have already booked overseas jaunts costing more than £1 million in total for the year ahead. Trips already pencilled in include the Work and Pensions Committee going to Canada to look at “pensioner poverty” at a cost of up to £55,083.

The Justice Committee will head to South Africa – at a cost of £48,051 – to study “the role of a prison officer.”

Mr Cameron also shut up about the fact that 16 out of 27 Conservative Party Members of the European Parliament employ their wives or relatives at the taxpayers’ expense, with four of the party’s MEPs paying their wives salaries of £30,000 to £40,000. Another twelve employed their partner or family member on salaries ranging from less than £10,000 to £30,000.

Mr Cameron was also quiet on the issue of the former Tory MEP Chief Whip Den Dover, who was caught out last year for claiming £750,000 in staff and office allowances to the family-owned firm HP Holdings, which was run by his wife and daughter.

Mr Cameron was also strangely quiet on the issue of Tory London MEP Charles Tannock who was reimbursed £15,228 in daily allowance payments, designed to cover accommodation and subsistence in Brussels. He spent 60.5 days in the city over the period in question – less than three months of the year.

Mr Cameron was silent about South West MEP Tory Giles Chichester who stood down as leader of the Tory Euro group last year following claims that he broke expenses rules by paying thousands in staff allowances to a firm of which he was a paid director. A report by think tank Open Europe also shows that between September and December, 26 of the Tory MEPs claimed an average of £36,303 on all travel, office expenses and allowances.

Finally, Mr Cameron was as quiet as a grave about his own personal expenses. According to official figures, Mr Cameron claimed £149,026 in direct expenses – over and above his parliamentary salary of £132,317 as MP and leader of the opposition. This means that Mr Cameron’s own personal income for the last year totalled £281,343 – and more than half of that was tax free.

Will Mr Cameron be listing himself on his “name and shame” list?  We don’t think so.

The time has come to radically reform the entire rotten and corrupt political system in Westminster-and only the British National Party is dedicated to doing so.
