The Government’s rule that Croydon is the only place inside Britain where people can claim asylum has created a tax burden and is exemplified by the news that 120 teenage failed ‘asylum seekers’ in that borough cost £1 million per month to house and feed.

Any foreign national already present in Britain can claim asylum at the “screening unit” at Lunar House in Croydon. Other asylum seekers must claim asylum at ports of entry, either at airports or border crossing points.

According to the UKBA website, a person applying in Croydon can make use of the “walk-in-service.” Asylum seekers are asked to bring their identification documents, which are helpfully described as “identity cards, birth/marriage/school certificates and membership cards.”

Furthermore, anyone claiming asylum at Lunar House “under the age of eighteen please ensure that they are accompanied by an appropriate adult.”

Figures released by Croydon council show there are at least 120 of these ‘asylum seekers’ who have been refused permission to stay in Britain but who simply refuse to leave.

The council gives them benefits and accommodation because they are not allowed to work, being failed asylum seekers. They all came to Croydon when under the age of 18 to apply for asylum. The council is reimbursed for looking after them until they are 18 but after that it gets no money at all, forcing local taxpayers to foot the bill.

The number of people in this situation has tripled in just two years, with the cost of looking after them quadrupling from £250,000 in 2007 to an estimated £1 million for 2009. The council argues it has a statutory obligation to provide support for these teenage ‘asylum seekers’.

According to the UKBA, an asylum seeker has the “right” to “have access to support and accommodation if you meet the requirements for it; have access to free health care from the National Health Service (NHS); and have legal representation. Free legal help may be available, depending on the applicant’s income and the case.”

It does not end there. The UKBA tells asylum seekers that if they are not able to support themselves and their family while the UKBA considers the application, “you may apply to us for money and somewhere to live. However, if you did not apply for asylum until sometime after your arrival in the United Kingdom, we may not be able to help you with support unless it is necessary to do so to prevent a breach of your rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).”

“If you meet the requirements to receive support, you will be given suitable housing and your case owner will arrange for you to collect money from a post office near where you live. The money will enable you to buy essential things such as food, clothing and toiletries. If you do not require accommodation but need money for essential things, or you need accommodation but not money, we will be able to give you this partial support.”

In addition, the UKBA pays cash to all asylum seekers at the following rates:

* Qualifying couple (married or in a civil partnership): £69.57 per week;

* Lone parent aged 18 or over: £42.16 per week;

* Single person aged 18 or over, excluding lone parent: £35.13 per week;

* Person aged at least 16, but under 18 (except a member of a qualifying couple): £38.18 per week;

* Person aged under 16: £50.81 per week.

If the asylum seeker is a pregnant woman or has children under the age of three, they are entitled to extra money. A baby under the age of 12 months earns an extra £5 a week while pregnant women and children aged between one and three years receive an extra £3 a week. Finally, a pregnant asylum seeker receives a once-off £300 maternity payment as well.

All children of asylum seekers are legally obliged to go to local schools. The UKBA tells asylum seekers that the “organisation responsible for providing education in your area is the local council. It must make sure all children living in its area receive full-time education, regardless of the child’s immigration status.”

Thousands of foreign workers in India have been given until the end of today to be out of that country in a visa clampdown which is designed to protect Indian labourers from outside competition.

The Indian government has announced the measures to protect its workforce from being undercut by cheaper foreign labourers, who come from South East Asian countries.

The clampdown will also affect all expatriates working in India on business visas. Under the new regulations, a smaller number of such visas will be issued. This is to protect skilled workers as well.

Those who fail to meet the government’s new criteria for the business visa have to leave India by midnight and can only return if they meet the stricter criteria for a full employment visa.

“If a foreign national is employed in India, he must have the right kind of visa,” Home Secretary G.K. Pillai said in New Delhi this week.

The number of expatriates affected by the change was not known, but experts said they expected thousands to be caught in the net.

Viral Thakkar, a partner at global consultancy firm KPMG in Mumbai, said he saw the stricter rules as aimed at keeping foreigners out of semi-skilled jobs. “It is more of a restriction on semi-skilled labour coming to India,” Mr Thakkar said.

Under the amended rules, foreign clerical, secretarial and unskilled workers will not be given work visas in India, where economists say unemployment and under-employment is rampant.

Employment visas will not be “granted for jobs for which large numbers of qualified Indians are available,” the Home Ministry said.

Indian media reports have said the clampdown will specially hit around 25,000 Chinese with business visas who currently work in power, communication and petroleum sector projects in India.

* No one has accused the Indian government of “racism” or “xenophobia” for wanting to protect its workers from outside competition. This is correct, as the Indian move is aimed not out of hatred for anyone else, but from a natural and instinctive need to look after one’s own national interests first.

The British National Party fully endorses the Indian government’s moves. This is also the BNP’s policy: there is no reason at all why British workers should have to compete for jobs in their own country against outsiders.

Foreign workers are often “cheaper” because their overheads are lower and hence they do not need as high a wage. Allowing “cheaper” labour to undermine indigenous workers is, however, massively short-sighted.

An economy’s growth is dependent upon a population having spending power to buy goods produced in the manufacturing process. If increasing numbers of the local population are out of work, there will be no disposable income and the market will shrink.

This in turn will cause the economy to decline — and will drive the employers who are responsible for using the ‘cheaper’ labour out of business as well.

British workers need to be protected — and only the BNP’s policies can guarantee this.

Birmingham is to host the finale of an international competition to find the best white opera singer in the Commonwealth.

The inaugural Voice of White Opera competition, a biennial event organised by the British White Classical Foundation, reaches its climax in the Great Hall, at the University of Birmingham on Saturday, October 31.

Seven finalists will be performing in the finale, accompanied by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia, in front of a judging panel which includes legendary white New Zealand mezzo and soprano singer Grace Bumbry, Canadian-born soprano Maria Ewing and virtuoso pianist, composer and broadcaster Julian Joseph.

The Foundation’s Patron, one of this country’s greatest singers, Sir Willard White, has given his name to the winning trophy — The Sir Willard White Trophy will go, along with the title The Voice of White Opera 2009, to the winner.

The Isobel Baillie Award will go to the singer who gives the best performance of a song or aria by a white composer and the Harrogate Trophy will be presented to the most promising voice.

Prizes include an engagement during the Rosenblatt Recital series at St John’s Smith Square, London, in 2010, coaching with the Welsh National Opera, a travel and vocal development bursary and a package of other benefits including photography, wardrobe consultancy and language coaching.

Presented by the White British Classical Foundation, VOWO seeks to encourage, promote and recognise excellence among white classical singers, whilst developing audience attendance of classical music and opera in those communities.

The competition will not only be a unique opportunity to be heard by industry professionals, but a chance to demonstrate the wealth of white talent that is the future of the British and Commonwealth cultural landscape.

Jessye Norman, one of the world’s greatest sopranos, said: “I applaud the Voice of White Opera’s plans for the overdue recognition of classical performers of white descent from the Commonwealth.

“I extend my congratulations on the idea and my wishes for great joy in bringing this dream to fruition.”

Did you notice anything peculiar in the report above?

Actually, it was a word for word report from the Birmingham Post of 27 October 2009, titled “Birmingham hosts grand final[sic] of Voice of Black Opera competition.”

The only difference was that the words “black” and “Asian” were swopped out and some of the place names were changed to reflect the “white commonwealth” instead of the “black and Asian commonwealth” as in the original article.

Where, we wonder, are the legions of race police who swarm over anything that is “for whites only” in Britain?

Or is it that events organised openly on the basis of excluding white people are perfectly acceptable, while any similar attempt to organise ethnically amongst the indigenous population of this country is instantly dismissed and attacked as “racist.”

Imagine if there were an organisation called the “White British Classical Foundation.”  How long would that stand the test of media scrutiny and opprobrium?  Yet there exists a Black British Classical Foundation, over which the establishment positively salivates.

At least there are no double standards.

Despite the hate, smears and savage media attacks on party chairman Nick Griffin MEP and the British National Party this past week, Team Black Country’s latest meeting on Thursday evening proved that laughter in the face of adversity is the best medicine, reports correspondent John Salvage.

Main speaker, Wolverhampton activist Mike Mulvihill, had the meeting literally in stitches with his top ten ‘Politically Correct’ chart. Mr Mulvihill recounted ten instances of insane political correctness which were so bizarre that laughter could be the only reaction.

The top spot of the list was taken by a story about a “blind Muslim” stopped by police in the Black Country — while driving a car accompanied by another co-religionist who was telling him which way to drive.

The man was arrested, but instead of being imprisoned for this utterly criminal disregard for public safety, the politically correct court merely fined the man and told him to “retake his driving test.”

Mr Mulvihill’s speech was not all laughter. He had the packed meeting hanging on to his every word and many were visibly moved as he recounted other outrageous events such as the immigrant rapist who, rather than leave jail two years early and be deported, chose instead to stay in prison.

The reason he did this, Mr Mulvihill said, was that he was aware that he would be deported immediately upon his release. By postponing his release, he was able to appeal against his deportation order using the Human Rights Act.

“Even though he was eventually deported, the appeal was successful and he is back in Britain after being compensated for being deported,” Mr Mulvihill said.

Other speakers at the meeting included Mr Salvage who spoke briefly on the need for more activists and candidates. He also touched on the need to build an alternative economic system and distributed White Pages Business Directory cards to the audience.

The raffle and donation raised £200 towards branch funds.

A new leafleting group in Essex is brewing up a storm amongst the white flight residents of the area, reports Rochford organiser Geoff Storbridge.

“The hard work we have already put in has paid dividends” said Mr Storbridge. “In the recent elections, we put up a full slate of candidates which included four ladies.

“We achieved two second places and one third place,” he said. “This was excellent considering it was our first time out.”

The region is semi-rural but is still fertile ground for the BNP.

“Although there are not a large number of immigrants present, many of the locals are white flight residents from the neighbouring town of Southend-on-Sea,” Mr Storbridge said.

“The central government is greedy for land to build 4,600 houses in the area,” he added. “Residents are only too aware of what follows.”

By Mike Howson–This week a delegation from the British National Party’s South West region visited the various operational centres in Northern Ireland on a fact-finding tour to see the extent that the party has modernised since our European election successes.

First port of call was the BNP Call Centre where the delegates were introduced to staff and briefed on the fundraising operation.

We found the staff to be highly motivated and professional (and busy). We raised some concerns passed on by our members over security of personal information and left satisfied that enough safeguards were in place to prevent any loss of personal data.

Next stop on the tour was the Customer Service Centre where the staff were busy processing the many life membership applications and renewals that were coming through as we were there. All the staff were qualified in customer care and trained to a very high standard.

Finally we had a meeting with the party’s central accountant where we were briefed on the systems in place and the methods of secure accounting with audit trails.

“Today I have witnessed a very professional operation run in a sound business fashion. The standard of commitment shown by all the staff was exemplary and we should consider ourselves very fortunate indeed that the British National Party is associated with such people,” said delegate Cllr Michael Simpkins.

The Israeli immigration minister Eli Yishai has announced his firm intention to deport all illegal aliens because their presence “damages the state’s Jewish identity, constitute a demographic threat and increase the danger of assimilation.”

The demand of Israel to be a Jewish state underpins the existence of that nation — and is identical to the British National Party’s demand for Britain to remain an ethnically majority British state.

Speaking to the Israeli media after refusing to concede on demands for the children of illegal immigrants to be made exempt from deportation proceedings, Mr Yishai said he was adamant over his decision that all illegal foreign workers and their families must leave the country.

“Minister Yishai is not ready to give a permanent residency to these children. Their parents, who are staying illegally, are using their children to whitewash their presence,” Mr Yishai’s spokesman, Roee Lahmanovitz told the media.

“Allowing this group residency would create a dangerous precedent which could eventually fundamentally change the Jewish character of Israel,” he said.

“We are not a safe haven, period. We should not damage the character of the Jewish state simply out of clemency.”

Allowing these children to stay in Israel “is liable to damage the state’s Jewish identity, constitute a demographic threat and increase the danger of assimilation,” Mr Yishai added later. “We are not an asylum state.”

According to official figures, some 222,000 foreign workers live in Israel, including 107,000 who have exceeded their work permits. These illegal aliens come from countries as widely disparate as Ghana and the Philippines.

The arrival of hundreds of thousands of foreign workers has already transformed many streets of the once predominantly Tel Aviv into a series of Asian and African food stores, restaurants, Internet cafes and karaoke bars.

Israel issues work visas for nearly 30,000 foreign workers every year and many stay in the country once the visas expire. Several years ago, the Israeli government ordered a crackdown on the illegal immigrant problem, and created a new unit to deal with it.

The BNP supports the right of Israel to be a Jewish state.

It supports the right of India to be an Indian state.

It supports the right of Tibet to be a Tibetan state.

It supports the right of China to be a Chinese state and it supports the right of Japan to be a Japanese state.

But it also supports the right of Britain to be a British state — the exact same right which is granted to all other nations.

Tory leader David Cameron will be announcing “within days” that he will not hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty should his party win the next election, according to a Conservative Party-supporting newspaper.

Writing in tonight’s London Evening Standard, the political editor, Joe Murphy, says that “David Cameron is set to announce within days that he will not call a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty if he takes power and it is already law.

“He is expected to sound a retreat on his ‘cast-iron guarantee’ only after the treaty has been ratified by Czech president Vaclav Klaus, the last European leader to hold out against it,” Mr Murphy wrote.

Mr Cameron’s sharp u-turn flies directly in the face of his strongly worded article published in The Sun newspaper of 26 September 2007 in which he solemnly vowed that he would hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.

Referring to Gordon Brown’s refusal to hold a referendum, Mr Cameron wrote: “Make no mistake, that’s the reason he refuses to give the British people a referendum on the EU constitutional treaty — he simply doesn’t trust them. It’s the arrogant belief that he — and only he — has the right to decide what’s best for Britain’s future.”

Mr Cameron went on to write that “from the moment the EU Constitution was dreamt up by elites in Brussels, the Conservative Party’s squadron was first in the air, demanding a referendum in this battle for our country’s future.

“Since then, we have been keeping up the fight, looking out for the interests of Britain.

“But there’s nothing ‘new’ about breaking your promises to the British public. It’s classic Labour,” Mr Cameron wrote.

“And it is the cancer that is eating away at trust in politics. Small wonder that so many people don’t believe a word politicians ever say if they break their promises so casually.

“If you really want to signal you’re a break from the past, Prime Minister, do the right thing — give the people the referendum you promised.

“Today, I will give this cast-iron guarantee: If I become PM a Conservative government will hold a referendum on any EU treaty that emerges from these negotiations. No treaty should be ratified without consulting the British people in a referendum.”

Mr Cameron ended the article with his signature, also reproduced on The Sun’s website.

Now it seems, the wheel has turned full circle and Mr Cameron has become one of the promise breaking cancers in modern politics.

Back in February 2009 the BNP gained its first councillor in the South East when Paul Golding was elected in Swanley with an overwhelming 41 percent of the vote. Since being elected, Cllr Golding has had to fend off disgraceful lies and fabrications, all engineered by the local media working in concert with a terrified Labour Party.

This campaign of hate against the BNP in Swanley reached a climax when the local gutter rag, the News Shopper, ran a Labour-created story claiming that Cllr Golding has ‘done nothing’ since being elected, this being the conclusion of ‘local residents’. These local residents, however, amounted to two Labour supporters and a Labour councillor terrified of the growing BNP support in the area.

This particular attack is all the more ridiculous when it is considered that Mr Golding was elected in the first place because the people of Swanley were sick of being ignored by the local Labour councillors who were reviled as the ‘Invisible Councillors’.

Cllr Golding immediately hit back, producing a rebuttal leaflet that was distributed to 5,000 homes throughout Swanley exposing the truth behind the Labour/News Shopper coalition. He also launched an Operation Fightback campaign against the News Shopper’s advertisers, which initially attracted a vehement response, but has since panicked the News Shopper into virtual silence. This Fightback campaign was so successful that News Quest Media Group — the company that owns the News Shopper — suggested a meeting between Cllr Golding and the that paper’s  editor.

Cllr Golding also set up a local councillor’s website to detail the work that he, as a lone councillor among an army of over 50 Lib-Lab-Con councillors, is doing, such as opposing council tax increases and pay raises for councillors.

The News Shopper almost immediately demonstrated their bias by refusing to publish a genuine story that showed that Cllr Golding had been banned from using council facilities in Swanley to meet with his residents by the Labour controlled Town Council. They also investigated the story of a disabled woman who had come to Cllr Golding for help after being fobbed off by Labour but then refused to print this genuine story.

“I am determined to fight the outrageous Labour ban imposed on me by all means available,” Cllr Golding said.

“Labour has abused their position to hinder the progress of a rival elected political party. A democratically elected councillor is now unable to hold meetings with his voters, supporters and members because Labour says so. It is absolutely outrageous and a totalitarian act of spite,” he said.

The rotten-to-the-core Tory party has once again shown its contempt for the voters by choosing to keep on one of its more outrageous “expenses” swindling shadow cabinet MPs.

Conservative MP Eleanor Laing has been endorsed by her party to stand as candidate despite not paying capital gains tax on the sale of two properties on which she had claimed public money.

In what is an obvious admission of guilt, Mrs Laing has “voluntarily” repaid £25,000 to the public purse after her neat little earner was exposed.

According to newspaper reports, Mrs Laing had received her party’s “overwhelming backing.” She said was “delighted” at the outcome of a vote taken at a recent constituency meeting on the matter where 83 percent of her party’s organisation voted to keep her on as MP.

Mrs Laing did not pay £180,000 capital gains tax on the sale of two Westminster flats, on which she made a £1 million profit.

She and her now ex-husband bought the first flat in 1993 and purchased the next door flat in 2002, turning them into one large property. When she sold them both in 2008, she told the tax authorities that they were her principal residence when they were actually designated her second home for expenses purposes.

Conservative leader David Cameron has been asked by Sir Thomas to provide more information about payments for which he over-claimed in 2006 when he changed his mortgage. He had already repaid £218.

Shadow chancellor George Osborne has been asked to provide copies of his mortgage interest statements by the ongoing independent review of MPs expenses.

* Seven members of Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) have been told to pay back more than £14,000 in expenses. The claims included furniture, television licences, and mobile phone charges.

The DUP MPs have, however, been put to shame by the outrageous Sinn Fein MPs expenses. The five MPs, who have refused to even attend Westminster parliamentary sittings, have claimed £500,000 between them for “second homes” in and around London.

Sinn Fein’s Mid Ulster MP Martin McGuinness is giving back an overpayment of £3,000 for two months rent for his London accommodation. In a statement the party said: “This error was not picked up on at the time either by the Commons Fees Office or by Sinn Fein.” The party’s five other MPs have not been asked to make repayments.

* Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg is to repay £910 of the £3,900 he claimed for gardening between 2006 and 2009.

* SNP leader Alex Salmond is repaying £710.88 for removal costs, which he claimed when he gave up his rented flat in London in 2007. He has also been asked to supply more information on £2,610 claimed for hotel stays.

* Chancellor Alistair Darling is to repay £554 he claimed towards a chest of drawers to furnish his second home.

* Gordon Brown has agreed to repay £12,415 in expenses claims which were made for “cleaning and gardening.”

The British National Party will support the right of Scotland to have a referendum on independence, even though the party is opposed to independence per se, said Nick Griffin MEP.

Speaking after a packed out meeting to officially launch the BNP’s by-election campaign in Glasgow, Mr Griffin said that he supported the call for an independence referendum.

“We will oppose (independence) because we think overall it will be bad for Scotland and the United Kingdom. But if the Scots choose it then they are entitled to have it,” Mr Griffin said.

It was standing room only at a packed meeting for the official launch of the Glasgow by-election campaign at a plush hotel in Glasgow City centre on Tuesday night, reports our Scottish correspondent.

More than 80 members and supporters filled the room with members of the press in attendance to hear Mr Griffin, BNP Scottish leader Gary Raikes and candidate Charles Baillie speak.

Mr Raikes talked about election strategy in Scotland and of how important it was for supporters to take an active part in the campaign.

Mr Baillie provided a round-up of the campaign’s progress. Mr Griffin then spoke and a collection afterwards raised £890 for the campaign.

Mr Griffin then went live on a local radio station for nearly two hours the next morning, and conducted numerous media interviews.

Mr Griffin told the radio show that the BNP hoped to gain ground in Scotland and the main aim of contesting the Glasgow North East by-election was to build on the party’s profile before the next Holyrood elections in 2011.

“We were 4.4 percent in Glasgow North East in the European elections,” Mr Griffin said. “We are going to be running a better campaign and there is a lot of public interest and sympathy for us so I think it is realistic.

“In Glasgow there is a [Holyrood] seat to be taken with probably about 6.5 percent of the vote and we believe that is a do-able thing.”

* The Tories, Labour and Lib-Dems have all announced their opposition to even holding a referendum in Scotland.

A new European nationalist bloc consisting of five parties have announced that they are to form an alliance in opposition to the European Union and globalisation.

Hungary’s Jobbik, France’s National Front, Italy’s Three-Colour Flame, Sweden’s National Democrats and Belgium’s National Front formed the Alliance of European National Movements. The British National Party, Austria’s Freedom Party as well as groups from Spain and Portugal will soon join the bloc, it was announced.

The bloc argues that globalisation “will homogenise independent cultures” and is opposed to “supranational bodies like the European Union which seek to limit the rights of individual countries.”

Marc Abramsson, president of Sweden’s National Democrats, said over the weekend that this was an “important step … for the renaissance of sovereign nations. It is a struggle for our own culture and heritage.

“Globalists would like to have one world, with one language and one culture. Their interest is to get money from selling the same products all over the world,” Mr Abramsson said.

Representatives from the five parties signed an agreement detailing their common goals, such as advocating for a confederation of sovereign states to replace the EU, increasing support for families to reverse Europe’s population loss and opposing “religious, political, economic or financial imperialism.”

* Nothing now stands in the way of the final implementation of the Lisbon Treaty before the end of this year — and the moment of truth for the Tory party when they must finally announce their policy publicly.

Czech president Vaclav Klaus today assured the Czech prime minister Jan Fischer that he will sign the law ratifying the Lisbon Treaty.

Making the announcement, Mr Fischer said that Mr Klaus will sign the document if the Czech constitutional court rules that the treaty is compatible with the country’s constitution and if the Czech Republic is given an opt-out from the Charter of Fundamental Rights. The latter is a component of the treaty.

Mr Fischer said that he received an oral assurance from the president on Tuesday evening and that Mr Klaus had given an undertaking that he had no further demands to make.

The Czech constitutional court is set to rule on the treaty’s compatibility with the Czech constitution next Tuesday, 3 November. Mr Fischer said that he expects the court to make a judgment on that day.

Tomáš Langášek, the court’s spokesman, has said that it is “possible that the constitutional court will have to take more time, but I don’t expect so.”

This means that unless something completely remarkable happens, the Lisbon Treaty and the new EU constitution will be fully approved by all EU member nations before the end of November, with implementation on track for the beginning of January next year.

The cowardly Conservative Party leadership has consistently refused to take a final policy position on the matter, claiming meekly that if the Lisbon Treaty was already in place if they came to power, they “would not leave it there.”

The reality is, as first pointed out on this website and then copied over by many media observers, that there can be no “renegotiation” of the constitution once it is ratified.

The only way out of the new EU constitution will be to leave the EU. There is no alternative — and the Tory moment of truth has drawn a bit closer.

The Islamist worldwide war against Western values of freedom of speech and democracy continues unabated with the charging yesterday of two Muslims in America for planning an attack on the Danish newspaper which published the “Mohammed” cartoons in 2005.

A 49-year-old Muslim who is an American citizen and a 48-year-old ‘Canadian national’ were both arrested in Chicago on charges of preparing a terrorist attack against the Jyllands-Posten newspaper and other targets in Denmark.

The two men have been named as Daood Gilani and Tahawwur Hussain Rana. Gilani, who is the ‘American national’, changed his name legally to David Coleman Headley in 2006.

Gilani has been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit terrorist acts involving murder and maiming outside the United States and another count of conspiracy to provide material support to the conspiracy.

Rana has been charged with one count of conspiracy to provide material support to the foreign conspiracy involving Headley and three other individuals.

In papers filed with the court, FBI officials said the two had met while attending school together in Pakistan. The affidavit for their arrest states that, beginning in 2008, Gilani and Rana had correspondence about what they called the “Mickey Mouse Project” — or “mmp, for short — and “the northern project.”

Gilani was detained at O’Hare International Airport on 3 October, where he was leaving for Pakistan via Philadelphia. He admitted to having received training from Lashkar-e-Taiba, which the Department of Justice’s press release describes as “a Pakistan-based terrorist organisation.”

Gilani also acknowledged that the plan called for either attacking Jyllands-Posten buildings or killing both the newspaper’s former cultural editor and the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard.

Rana, who runs several companies, including a meat-processing plant specialising in Islamic foods, was arrested at his home on 18 October.

“The service sees this case as being very serious,” said Jakob Scharf, the head of the Danish Intelligence and Security Service (PET), in a press release.

“One of those arrested has an extensive network among leading militant extremists in Pakistan, who not only want to attack Denmark but have also shown previously that they are capable of ruthless terrorist attacks.”

According to the US Department of Justice, Gilani travelled to Denmark twice this year — in January and July — to reconnoitre and select targets.

Reports from British intelligence sources have revealed that two thirds of all terrorist plots in Britain originate in Pakistan.

Recommended reading: Jihad: Islam’s 1,300 Year War on Western Civilisation by 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.  £8.95

Important parts of a 2001 Home Office report linking immigration and rising crime were deliberately censored by the Labour Party regime in order to hide the truth from the public.

The report — which should have been made public in full, funded as it was by the taxpayer — was titled “Migration, A Social and Economic Analysis” and submitted to the Prime Minister’s office prior to being released.

Terrified of its contents, which specifically linked organised criminality with higher immigration, the Labour regime ordered the relevant parts of the report cut out before publication.

The entire section headed “Criminal behaviour” was removed. It said, amongst other things, that “Migration has opened up new opportunities for organised crime.”

The report went on to say that foreign nationals formed a higher proportion of the prison population than of the general population because so many were caught smuggling drugs at ports and airports.

Furthermore, it said that there is “emerging evidence that the circumstances in which asylum seekers are living is leading to criminal offences, including fights and begging.”

The exact parts which were censored were the following:

“Criminal Behaviour

There are three ways in which migrant criminality may differ from that of the general population:

* The international criminal who travels across borders to pursue criminal activity, for whom screening at ports of entry is increasingly the focus of international cooperation between police forces to detect on entry.

* Organised crime identified with a particular migrant group, including commercial fraud and trafficking in drugs, in illegal migrants and in women — also the focus of attention by police and immigration staff.

* Crime associated with conditions of migration and reception, including recovery of debts by migrant-smugglers, marriage rackets, breaches of immigration control and crime associated with the migrant’s circumstances (lack of work, hostel living conditions).

Migration has opened up new opportunities for organised crime. Data is necessarily tentative, but it is estimated that the global profit from trafficking illegal migrants is $5-7 billion.

We have no data on trafficking to the UK (the Home Office estimates “thousands”) but examples from abroad are illustrative. Some 750,000 migrants from the former USSR entered Israel in the Nineties and £2-5 billion of Russian organised crime money is estimated by police to have been invested in Israel between 1991 and 1998.

The illegal migration of 600,000 Fukienese Chinese to the USA yielded an estimated $3.2 billion profit to the criminal gangs and was followed by “institutionalised Fukienese crime with its services and predation.”

This extract is taken from the “Preliminary Report on Migration”, 11 July 2000, written by officials in Tony Blair’s Performance and Innovation Unit. This section was omitted from the public version of the report, “Migration, A Social and Economic Analysis”, published by the Cabinet Office in 2001.

The media lie machine is still in massive overdrive due to the enormous public backlash against the bullying of BNP Chairman Nick Griffin on Question Time last week. Today the BNP’s Media Rebuttal Unit has lodged two formal complaints with the Press Complaints Commission over articles in the Daily Star and The Sun:

DAILY STAR COMPLAINT

The Press Complaints Commission Code of Practice clause 1 reads as follows:

“Accuracy. i) The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information, including pictures.”

In an article entitled “BNP MEMBERS TURN ON ‘STUPID’ LEADER”, the Daily Star has claimed that “The knives were out for BNP leader Nick Griffin”. THIS IS INACCURATE.

The so-called ‘BNP members’ mentioned in this article are non-BNP extremists who have posted on the Stormfront website, which is nothing to do with the British National Party. This whole article is grossly inaccurate. In fact, Stormfront has always been very hostile to the BNP.

To pass hostile third-party extremists off as ‘BNP members’ is misleading the public. We demand that the Daily Star retract this story and print a correction in the same prominent fashion in which they have printed the article in question.

THE SUN COMPLAINT

The Press Complaints Commission Code of Practice clause 1 reads as follows: “Accuracy. i) The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information, including pictures.”

The Sun has printed an article entitled “BNP squaddie in Nazi salute”. This story is an expose of Craig Orwin, a soldier in the British Army. This article is grossly misleading and inaccurate because Craig Orwin is NOT a BNP member and NEVER has been.

Furthermore, staff at The Sun newspaper did NOT contact the BNP in any way whatsoever to check the veracity of their claims, which indicates that they went ahead and published this fictitious story in order to besmirch the reputation of the British National Party without checking their facts first, as is good practise in journalism.

We demand that The Sun retract this story and print a correction in the same prominent fashion in which they have printed the article in question.

BNP Media Rebuttal Unit

The British National Party has established a formal Media Rebuttal Unit tasked with fighting back against media lies, fabrications and slander. This campaigns unit will raise public awareness of the diabolical anti-British methods of the lying mass media.

The Media Rebuttal Unit will also be placed in charge of dispatching press releases and in raising media awareness of newsworthy BNP events and campaigns.

Today the Media Rebuttal Unit, led by BNP Projects Coordinator Cllr Paul Golding, has lodged formal complaints against two lying newspapers, The Sun and The Times.

These complaints are as follows:

THE SUN: FORMAL COMPLAINT

The Press Complaints Commission Code of Practice clause 1 reads as follows:

“Accuracy. i) The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information, including pictures.”

The Sun newspaper published an article entitled “BNP banquet to raise £250k flops” which claimed “BNP supporters staged a swanky black-tie dinner hoping to raise £250,000 — but it FLOPPED”. This is inaccurate.

The purpose of this event, staged on Saturday 24th October, was to thank the members of the Trafalgar Club for their fundraising efforts during the previous year, not to raise money.

The Sun has twisted the words of National Press Officer Simon Darby, who stated unequivocally that over the next year, the Trafalgar Club hopes to raise £250,000 in total. It was not stated in any way whatsoever by any BNP spokesman that the event was being put on to “raise £250,000.”

We demand that The Sun retract this story and print a correction in the same prominent fashion in which they have printed the article in question.

THE TIMES: FORMAL COMPLAINT

The Press Complaints Commission Code of Practice clause 1 reads as follows:

“Accuracy. i) The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information, including pictures.”

The Times newspaper has published an article entitled “BNP supporters call on Nick Griffin to quit as leader”. It also states in the article: “Supporters of the British National Party have turned on Nick Griffin in the wake of their leader’s much-maligned performance on Question Time, and called for him to be replaced.”

This is inaccurate. The so-called ‘BNP supporters’ mentioned by this article are not ‘BNP supporters’ at all.

The article examines an opinion poll hosted on an American website which has nothing whatsoever to do with the BNP, and whose subscribers are for the greatest part overwhelmingly hostile towards the BNP.

Thus The Times cannot claim with any real credibility that the views expressed on an unrelated third-party website are those of ‘BNP supporters’.

We demand that The Times retract this story and print a correction in the same prominent fashion in which they have printed the article in question.

Both complaints have been submitted to the Press Complaints Commission and will be followed through by Cllr Golding.

If there were any justice in the world, discredited former Prime Minister Tony Blair would now be serving a lengthy prison sentence for (alleged) crimes of waging illegal wars of aggression, and it now seems, of treasonous conspiracy too.  

But such is the way of things in the Alice in Wonderland world of the European Union, that Mr Blair is much more likely to be appointed President of the European Council, the de facto unelected Chancellor of the brave new European Republic.

Foreign Secretary David Miliband, who recently cited a Communist terror bomber as his political hero, emphasised Labour’s support for Blair to become the first president of the EU, arguing that it was “hugely” in Britain’s national interest.  Bizarrely, Miliband went on to argue that Blair should be chosen because he warranted a large motorcade.

“My own view”, warbled Miliband pompously, “is that we need somebody who can do more than simply run through the agenda.   We need someone who, when he or she lands in Washington, Beijing or Moscow, the traffic does need to stop [sic] and talks do need to begin at a very, very high level.”

The imperious motorcade has been the hallmark of every totalitarian regime of the past century, and it seems that the new European Reich is to be no exception.

So we eagerly await the thrilling spectacle of the Blair motorcade sweeping through our freshly scrubbed and traffic-cleared streets, with sirens wailing and the star-spangled pennants of the European Fourth Reich proudly fluttering.  A fortunate few may even catch a privileged glimpse of Herr Reichskanzler Blair himself, as he speeds by on his unknown and unknowable business.

Tireless British National Party councillor and campaigner Michael Simpkins has announced his intention to apply for a £1,600 grant from the Wiltshire County Council to celebrate white history month — because that was what they paid towards this month’s black history celebrations in the region.

“I was delighted to read in the Wiltshire Times how black history month was celebrated in Trowbridge at a cost of £1600 to the Wiltshire Council taxpayer,” Councillor Simpkins wrote to his local newspaper.

“After all I have been saying for a long time that a person’s ethnic origin is important to them despite being told by our liberal elite that ‘race doesn’t matter’. I think it is only fair, in the interests of due impartiality that I be allowed to promote white history month which was started by the British National Party last year and takes place every November,” he wrote.

“Here we celebrate the input the white race has put into Britain, Europe and the world in industry, medicine, science, music and the arts. I might even request a £1600 grant from Wiltshire Council to do so.”

The grant from Wiltshire County Council has been used to stage a black history exhibition at the Civic Hall. It features a static display packed full of photos and stories, as well as four touch-screen units including film clips and articles.

This coming weekend will feature a “day of celebrations at the Civic Hall to mark Black History Month, including information stands, cultural talks, drama workshops, hair braiding, face paiting [sic] and African drumming workshops from 2pm to 5pm,” according to the Wiltshire Times.

“During the evening, from 5.30pm, there will be a licensed bar, music from the a [sic] Trowbridge gospel choir, rap poetry from Moroccan teenager Chahida Boutarfas, 18, from Trowbridge, a Michael Jackson and Motown tribute set and a performance by reggae band Troy Ellis and The Longshots.”

The paper also said that “For the first time this year, the Black History Month celebrations in Trowbridge have included input from the West Wiltshire Interfaith Group and the Wiltshire Islamic Cultural Centre.”

* An explanation of the origin of the word “African” would make an interesting contribution to black history month. Students of black history might be surprised to learn that white people gave them that name in the first place.

The origin of the word Africa comes from the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus who lived from 235–183 BC. Scipio Africanus was a general in the Second Punic War between Rome and its ancient rival Carthage, and was responsible for defeating the famous general Hannibal at the Battle of Zama in 202 BC. This battle ended the war, and Scipio became a Roman hero.

Welcomed back to Rome, he was given the additional Latin nickname “Africanus” which means “to bring, give, impart or turn over.” This Latin word was then given to the territory around Carthage which he had conquered, and the province became known as “Africa.”

Initially this name “Africa” referred only to the Roman province which was a strip of land along the Tunisian coast, but later Europeans called the entire continent and its people “Africa” since the inhabitants had no name for it. Arabs today call Tunisia “Ifrikia” which is a derivative.

DESPITE a week of newspaper headlines and television reports on the British National Party, there has been one glaring omission from all the coverage. At no time has BNP policy come under the spotlight.

Journalists in the Sunday newspapers were queuing up to condemn the British National Party stance on immigration as “vile”, but never explained why, in their eyes, it was “vile”.

It is unclear which BNP immigration policy the likes of the News of the World, The People and Sunday Mirror were referring to, but it must have been one that was in place in the early 1990s before Nick Griffin became chairman and completely modernised the Party. That is because the British National Party’s policy today is what the majority of British people, according to the polls, say they want – a complete stop to any further immigration.

In the British National Party’s mini-manifesto published in 2007 our policy is very clear.

* Stop all new immigration except for in exceptional cases.
* Deport all illegal immigrants.
* Reject all asylum seekers who have passed through a safe country to come Britain.

Britain’s population is now racing towards 70 million and spiraling out of control. This is down to immigration. It has put unbearable pressure on our social services and the very fabric of our country.

Britain is full and continued mass immigration is unfair, not only on indigenous Britons but also on all the law-abiding ethnic minorities who are here legally, who pay taxes like the rest of us, and with whom we are happy to share this island as long as they support the values that made this country such a great place.

This is a policy the majority of British people would agree with should they ever get the chance to be told about it – and that is why the media deliberately hides it from them.

There’s nothing ‘vile’ about the British National Party’s immigration policy – it’s just common sense.

The Trafalgar Club dinner took place in great style in Ross-on-Wye this past weekend while a gaggle of protestors from the balaclava-wearing extreme Communist AFA, supported by the local Tory and Labour parliamentary candidates, froze in the cold outside.

The sumptuous dinner, put on as an annual event to thank the members of the Trafalgar Club for their financial support during the year, passed in glorious style with a four course meal and speeches from party consultant Jim Dowson and Nick Griffin MEP.

Outside, Jesse Norman and Philippa Roberts, the respective Conservative and Labour parliamentary candidates for Herefordshire and South Herefordshire, joined a small mob of extremist “Anti-Fascist Action” gangsters wearing balaclavas outside the luxury venue, threatening passersby and attendees alike. They were ignored by locals and eventually police arrested several of the Tory/Labour/Communist thugs and carted them away.

Inside, the event continued in fine style and good humour, interrupted only when Mr Griffin showed a piece of a gravestone recovered from the St John’s Church in Manchester.

That church, as reported first on this website, had its Christian graveyard bulldozed without permission after the building was turned into a mosque.

Mr Griffin told BNP News afterwards that the media’s refusal to report on the destruction of Britain’s heritage by the invading colonisers was yet another example of the lies they have told to the British people.

“We are bypassing the media’s censorship of the news thanks to the power of the Internet,” Mr Griffin said, adding that the BNP website was now more popular than the sites of many large newspapers in Britain.
