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.
