Hi Nick.
You're going to have a mountain to climb when we have some BNP M.P.s in Parliament. Please concentrate on the corruption and double standards that appear to be the norm. We have a system of legislation which appears to be "unfit for purpose" in most areas. The job of politician is not an easy one I know but why do we have so many and so many bad ones at that. Can we look forward to higher standards in public life and sanctions against those who feel that self promotion and self advancement are the real reasons for being a member of either House,Commons or Lords. I was always led to believe that if a Peer of the Realm was imprisoned then that would be reason enough to be stripped of the title and office, but Lord Archer is still a member of the House of Lords. Perhaps removal of his Peerage would open too many cans of worms. I can think of no other reason than a cover up, which is par for the course with these vagabonds and profiteers
Our local Derbyshire County Councillor has now taken to lecturing the voters who voted BNP, telling them that we should be very care full. She is no longer an absentee Councillor,

Duke of Wellington and Marschal Blucher are alive and well in BNP HQ. Our military advisers and strategists are managing this web, and commenting on it.

But we are short handed and there is so much to do.

I hope our web masters would consider augmenting this attractive new design with our "shadow cabinet." It's good to see Nick with his close supporters.

Worse still is the fact that last year the collective train operating companies made over ONE BILLION POUNDS PROFIT!! That is despite the extortionate tickets and overcrowding misery that they continue to cause for us commuters.
Enough is enough – one of the important mantras of the BNP that the daily papers choose to ignore/forget is that of nationalism – the protection of the social and economic interests within our shores. All the privatised utilities should be forcibly brought back within British public ownership, the sooner the better.

The cost of doing all this? Just pass a new law to reclaim what was effedctively stolen from us by the Tories with fair but minimal compensation as a 'Cash For Shares' edict .

One of the better current wind turbine designs: http://www.earthtronics.com/Default.aspx ...there is a new concept in development, Sorry lost the link, which uses an entirely different vortex system, a sort of reverse James Dyson concept if you like. just looks like a square box sitting on your roof, like an air conditioner. Good luck Johnny_F.

Unfortunately for me British Gas are my sole energy supplier.
I'm seriously thinking of making inroads into having a wind turbine erected in my back yard.
You say "Wont that be an even more expensive hobby Johnny?"
I say "It might be cheaper than paying for 12 months energy the way things are going"

Goodsense, (above) is right in what he says. I would like to see big changes in planning laws mandating On-site power generation (solar, earth-pump etc) high efficiency systems and excellent insulation in ALL new buildings. What we see built in the U.K. today is shoddy garbage. Toy-town / chock box disposable houses made from poor quality components, with no renewable Eco or intelligent systems. (& a 10 year guarantee, pathetic !) Build as many and as quick as you can cram em in and tax em to death. Is as far as I can see Gov. policy. Ultimately Intelligent buildings / Zero Energy homes are the answer. No bills at all ! (see my earlier post). But that require foresight and planning, some hope from the monkeys in power now ! I'd be happy to advise anyone here on best construction practice.

Aye, but as long as the 10 bob millionaires shares are rising, they don't care if the pensioner parents are freezing to death!
The only likely manmade climate disaster we're likely to see in the near future is a stock market crash… got to keep the fat cat share holders happy… sell, sell, sell!

These companies are making astranomical profits at the expense of hard up working class families who are struggling to make ends meet it's an absolute disgrace

No wonder British Gas make huge profits, I gave them a reading for a final gas bill, as I changed suppliers, this was about 10 years ago. The bill they sent me an estimated bill for about £122, I was threatened with legal action if I didn't pay. I snt them my reading , which made my bill about £65. Jsut think if they're ripping off elderly and other vulnerable customers, some of whom would accept the gas company's word as gospel, or they don't like to make a fuss.

I wonder if UK citizens could take our government to European Courts of Justice and complain under our rights of establishment that we suffer a detriment as pay more tax than other EU citizens and demand a refund…. LOL wouldn't that be cool ^_^

Here is a link that briefly explains the situation, but have now found other ECJ rulings that undermine UK tax raising powers…. they appear to be forcing Britain to harmonise taxation in line with other EU states…. it's a complete loss of sovereignty.

Yes Crone absolute madness, this country is a right mess at the momen…………..hopefully things can only get better!

Adam, they don't care about the elderly, a tiny winter fuel bonus isn't going to go very far, and they think they are being so generous! Like you say, some poor people will still die because they are not getting enough help – it shouldn't happen, this government treats the immigrants better than our own people, its disgusting. Basic needs like warmth in the winter is a necessity, and should be at the very least affordable or better still heavily subsidised.

Yes JeromePeter I heard that news, brilliant! You are right in what you say, I think they have toned down their attacks on the BNP because they realise now, it's getting them nowhere, and they are certainly not gaining anything good from it, more the opposite! People are beginning to see them for what they really are!

I am sick to death about this countries obsession with economic growth. All i want is a good service and a bit of profit for reinvestment. Not profit for shareholders etc.

I didnt know that and i dont think the vast majority of the electorate do either.

Truly shocking!

Did the Saudis need to let in foreign companies to get a share of the gas and oil wealth. No way. After the Western companies found and exploited the natural resources they were more or less kicked out so the Saudis could pocket the money.
Thought for today; Every gallon of petrol you put in your car is more wealth to Islam and the power to exploit its wealth in the West. Think about it. The sooner we get alternative sources of energy (bio fuels) the better to shut out the middle east.

It's no good crying over spilt milk. The voters put these traitors in power and we just have to put up with it. Have the voters learned their lesson? We will just have to wait and see but if Glasgow is anything to go by apparently not.
