November 2, 2009 - By George Fanning

Of the Establishment’s many and various efforts to undermine rising electoral support for the British National Party, perhaps the most reprehensible tactic of all is the persistent attempt to cultivate baseless fears in the hearts of members of vulnerable minority groups, by cynically and dishonestly misrepresenting BNP policies and intentions.

So it is, that week after week, the Jewish Chronicle sows the seeds of terror among its readers and fulminates against the BNP, as though the growth of our party is some sort of threat to the Jewish community.

While the Jewish Chronicle is seemingly oblivious to the rise of Islamic extremism, which underpins almost all anti-semitic incidents these days, it prefers to focus its energies on a cynical anti-BNP campaign instead.

The Jewish Chronicle is not deterred in its campaign by rather inconvenient facts such as the BNP’s oft-repeated solid support for Israel’s right of national self determination and self defence, nor by the incidence of Jewish members within the British National Party, including at least one prominent local councillor.

In a similar vein, the editor of Disability Now has blogged about the notoriously slanted recent edition of BBC “Question Time” featuring Nick Griffin.   Referring to the disgusting actions of the evil German Nazi regime towards disabled people, the editor of Disability Now bizarrely claimed that “Clearly there will be members of Griffin’s party who would laud such action against our community.  Fear the day when a BNP government might take the chance to institute a similar programme.”

Hopefully, the readers of Disability Now are sensible enough to see through such arrant nonsense and not lose any sleep over it.   It is, however, deeply concerning that the editor of Disability Now prefers to pursue his political vendetta against the BNP, rather than concentrate on calmly reassuring his terrified readers about the British National Party’s true policies.

For the truth is, the advent of a BNP government would certainly herald a new golden age for disabled people.   Freed from the heavy economic burden of EU membership, the fortune wasted on foreign aid and billions spent on supporting transparently bogus asylum seekers, a democratic nationalist government could afford to be extraordinarily generous to those of our fellow Britons who are genuinely disabled and unable to work.

Disabled people are entitled to expect a decent standard of living, with income support and state benefits that inflate in proportion to the growth of the overall economy.

Perhaps that is why the British National Party already has many disabled members and expects to recruit countless more in the years to come, in spite of cynical scaremongering by those whose political spite exceeds their concern for the peace of mind of the vulnerable people they purport to represent.
