The BNP is Back in South London
The British National Party is back in South London. That was the theme of the recent inaugural meeting of the Southwark and Lambeth branch attended by thirty enthusiastic members and supporters.
The meeting was opened by chairman and long-standing BNP activist Steve Tyler, who briefly introduced the branch by discussing how far the party had come since its foundation twenty-seven years ago.
Mr Tyler then introduced the branch’s officers to the meeting. Fundholder John Wright was given a well-deserved round of applause for his efforts in setting up the branch.
Next speaker was London organiser, Bob Bailey, who gave a rousing speech in which he expressed the need for the BNP to “stand together as we adapt to new challenges.”
The cheers which erupted throughout Mr Bailey’s 40-minute speech were a sign of his growing reputation as one of the party’s best platform speakers. An indication of the level of his activity came when he had finished. He had to immediately leave to get to the other side of London to speak at a meeting in Ealing.
Following the break, Mr Tyler gave an account of local news, focusing on Bermondsey’s MP Simon Hughes who recently addressed a large gathering of Muslims at the 02 dome where he had said that “Every country of the world is your country…we need you to lead our politics.”
Mr Tyler, who stood against Mr Hughes in the 1992 General Election, urged those present to help distribute the new Bermondsey Patriot leaflet which contained a powerful graphic of “Imam” Hughes.
The last speaker was Chris Roberts, who works as an assistant to GLA member Richard Barnbrook. Mr Roberts gave an insightful report of recent goings-on at City Hall but the main focus of his speech was a disturbing analysis of the demographic disaster facing London.
“We have a duty to our forefathers and to our children to save London now,” Mr Roberts said. “Tomorrow will be too late.”
Just as the meeting was about to close, a young Brazilian student who had been invited to the meeting as a guest, asked to make a short impromptu speech. He said that he had been shocked by the overwhelmingly non-British character of London and that, without wishing to be undiplomatic, he thought it was shameful that the British people were not more concerned about “the destruction of their great culture.” His talk was warmly received by the audience.
A collection raised over £200 for branch funds.
