New BNP Group Established in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire
The British National Party has established a new group in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, under the guidance of new organiser Veronica Robinson, it was announced at its inaugural meeting.
“Our congratulations to Ms Robinson who has risen to the challenge of running a BNP group,” councillor James North told the meeting.
“Taking on a role as an organiser can sometimes be a thankless task,” Cllr North said. “At other times it can be very rewarding. It requires courage and determination. This meeting is the stepping stone to the full formation of an official group.”
Ms Robinson’s appointment was greeted with applause when she thanked the crowd and said that further meetings and public events such as paper sales were being planned.
Cllr North said there was no easy way to make a successful group. “It is all about hard work, dedication and commitment, but probably the most important thing is stability. The only way to ensure stability in an area is to have as many people helping the new organiser as possible.
“We are all here with one common goal. We want to see a better Britain for our family and friends. We are doing something to benefit others and our country,” he said.
“It’s also important to understand you need to be able to walk before you can run. Building a good infrastructure takes time and a team of people,” Cllr North continued. “If you look at successful groups and branches, you will see that they all have a good support team around an organiser.”
Jeff Drew, BNP fund holder for neighbouring East Lindsay, told the meeting of the progress made in Lincolnshire.
“Three years ago there was hardly a BNP presence in Lincolnshire,” Mr Drew said. “Now we have six established groups and eleven councillors. That is good progress.”
Mr Drew also provided the activists with a guide on how to go about looking for vacancies on parish councils and on the importance of standing in elections.
Christopher Robinson, a candidate in the recent County Council elections and prospective parliamentary candidate for the Grantham and Stamford constituency, spoke of his election experiences and urged party members to speak to the public whenever they could.
Mr Robinson, who is also known for his fascinating book, The Legacy of the Viking Ragnar Lothbrok, said that “Our members are ambassadors for the party. We need to talk to the public and talk about our policies, about why immigration is bad for our country and why we should preserve our culture and our sovereignty.”
The meeting was ended with a raffle and collection to fund further activities.
Recommended reading: The Legacy of the Viking Ragnar Lothbrok by Christopher Robinson.
This is the story of the influence of one Viking family on the history of the British Isles and continental Europe.
The author was born on 26th May 1942 in Ingoldsby, a Lincolnshire village named after the Danish Viking Ingjald, situated in the Wapontak of Beltis Loe near Grantham. He grew up in a farming community curious about their dialect and words originating from the Danish language. He recognised Lincolnshire people had a distinct character and saw their Viking history in the local place names and surnames. English history, however, told him nothing of the Viking leaders or of their achievements.
At seventeen he joined a merchant ship as Apprentice Navigating Officer trading on the North European coast in mid winter.
At nineteen he sailed as Third Officer and later Second Officer. He left the sea to work for shipping companies as Finance Director and Business Development Director. This brought him into contact with Norwegian seamen and those involved in all aspects of seafaring. During this time he developed a fascination for Viking history and the design of the long ships he saw in Oslo Ship Museum. This novel attempts to pass on his knowledge and enthusiasm for a story derived from historical records about Ragnar Lothbrok and his sons. It includes maps and photographs.
