THERE’S a special planning meeting to decide whether a listed Victorian school building (left) should be knocked down and a mosque built in its place.

All 40 councillors from Surrey Heath Borough Council will consider the application from the Hampshire & Surrey Bengali Welfare Association this evening at the theatre in Knoll Road, Camberley starting at 6.45pm.

Local residents are up in arms over the idea of what was formerly St Gregory’s Roman Catholic school being demolished and replaced by a mosque with a domed roof and two minarets. Over 300 people are expected to pack into the theatre to voice their opposition to the application.

The property in London Road, which is about half a mile away from the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, was bought by the Bengali Association back in 1996 and has been used as an Islamic Centre.

Now they say the building no longer large enough to meet the needs of the growing local Muslim community.

A SCHOOL in Blackburn has become the first state school in Britain to receive accreditation for serving Halal food.

Daisyfield Primary is the first non-Muslim school to get the certificate from the Halal Monitoring Committee which enforces strict checks on the killing, preparation, packaging and delivery of animals.

Halal is the ritual method of slaughter practised under Islam and it has been criticised by animal welfare organisations who claim it causes severe suffering to the animals as they are left to bleed to death without pre-stunning.

While campaigners point out that a cow will take up to two minutes to bleed to death under Halal, the Muslim Council of Britain argues that it provides a quick haemorrhage with no time for the animal to feel pain.

This claim has angered the Farm Animal Welfare Council which published a report that concluded the way Halal meat is produced causes severe suffering to animals. It responded “This is a major incision into the animal and to say that it doesn’t suffer is quite ridiculous.”

Daisyfield’s changeover to Halal has upset local residents. One told the local newspaper that the move will force children to eat Halal meat, while another said it was further proof of the Islamification of Britain.

NOT PAINFUL?: Halal slaughter on a street in Pakistan. Now it has come to a primary school in Blackburn.

AN opinion poll by Opinium Research over the weekend has found that immigration policy will be a key issue for voters at the General Election.

The online survey of 2,000 people revealed that seven out of ten of those questioned felt that immigration had had a “negative” impact on society, putting a strain on housing, hospitals, schools and social cohesion, while one in five voters said immigration had already had a negative impact on their local community.

There was general dissatisfaction with the immigration policies of the three main parties with just 18% supporting the Conservatives, 11% Labour and 7% the Lib-Dems on the issue.

A staggering 61% of people said they couldn’t support the policies of the three main parties on immigration.

Sir Andrew Green, chairman of MigrationWatch UK acknowledged it was an important poll.

“It is further evidence that the political classes are ignoring the strongly held views of a large section of the electorate,” he said.

But what was of particular interest to the British National Party was Opinium finding that 54% of voters considered immigration policies “very important” or the “main issue” that would determine the way they voted.

SO the Tories think it’s right for their leader David Cameron to call a political opponent names. Apparently they gave him a standing ovation when he was abusive about the chairman of the British National Party.

The Conservative leader called Nick Griffin “a ghastly piece of filth”. How anyone can applaud such a leveling down of political debate is beyond comprehension. To describe an elected MEP, a father of four and a dedicated politician in such derogatory terms is a new low for British politics.

It’s a personal attack that typifies the bullyboy mentality of discredited politicians and their friends in the establishment which was seen so clearly on the BBC’s Question Time programme back in November.

Then those bullying tactics backfired spectacularly when a record 10 million audience for the programme saw the unfair victimisation of one of Britiain’s emerging politicians by the corrupt ‘Old Gang’ desperate to hang on to their positions of power at all costs.

Now that bullying is evident again, not just from David Cameron and his name-calling but in the contest for the parliamentary seat of Barking where Nick Griffin (seen campaigning above) is standing at the General Election.

Nick’s opponents in the election are ganging up on him again and everyone of them is personally threatening him and his campaign team. There’s never a mention of politics or British National Party policies – just threats and intimidation by the same bullies.

Labour MP Margaret Hodge has said she will run the BNP out of Barking. UKIP candidate Frank Mahoney wants to physically fight with Nick Griffin and now, this morning, the Liberal Democrat candidate Dominic Carmen says he is only standing to campaign against Nick Griffin.

So what will the voters in Barking make of it all? Cameron, Hodge, Mahoney and Carmen all ganging up to attack the only politician talking about the real issues that effect their lives – local housing, local jobs and stopping immigration.

Hopefully they will react in the same way that 10 million viewers who saw the Question Time programme did – which was with, at first unease and then anger at the unfairness of it all.

The British people don’t like bullies, so the more Cameron and Hodge shout their abuse and the other discredited politicians gang up on Nick Griffin, the more they will drive voters to support the British National Party.

A black Conservative prospective parliamentary candidate has caused uproar within her party by declaring on an official Tory website that Nick Griffin “is right” and that “Britain is full.”

Loanna Morrison (left), who is the Tory in Bermondsey and Old Southwark for Bermondsey and Old Southwark, posted an anti-immigration message on the Conservativehome website, saying “Britain is full, declares Nick Griffin at every opportunity, and he is right.”

This has launched a divisive debate within the ranks of Tory candidates with some demanding to be allowed to play the immigration card and others accusing their colleagues of being racist.

Tory leaflets put out in Romford claim the ‘floodgates have been opened’ and that immigration must be stopped. But these leaflets have been condemned by other Tories who say they are alarmist and misleading because they imply limits could be imposed on entrants from EU countries such as Poland and the Czech Republic when this would be illegal under EU law.

Cameron supporters quickly turned their fire on Romford MP Andrew Rosindell who immediately started backtracking and trying to distance himself from the leaflet.

“I did not write or approve this flyer. Immigration is an important issue but, as David Cameron has made clear, we must be careful with both the facts and the language we use. This flyer falls short on both counts, and I shall be pointing that out.” However, he was unable to explain why the leaflet stated that it was “promoted” by the MP himself.

Tim Montgomerie, editor of Conservativehome, said the anti-immigration issues was popular amongst Tory candidates: “I have spoken to someone senior in central office who said more and more people were asking to put immigration on leaflets, and they were being allowed to do so,” he revealed to the Observer.

Another Tory MP told the newspaper the issue was becoming a salient one:

“In 2001 it wasn’t registering at all. This time it is cropping up regularly on the doorstep,” he said.

While David Cameron is expected to reflect this in a speech in Brighton today where he will play the ‘patriotic card’, there was a stern warning from grandees of both main parties:

“If either party decide to push the button on immigration then the only beneficiary will be Nick Griffin and the BNP.”

Lord Haw-Haw was the nickname of the announcers on the English language radio programme Germany Calling, which promoted Nazi propaganda to audiences in Great Britain during the Second World War.

The most famous Lord Haw-Haw announcer was William Joyce who was hanged for treason in 1946 because of his broadcasts during the war.

But other Lord Haw-Haws are alive and well, and two are living within the Methodist Church, and doing very nicely thanks to taxpayers money.

This time the propaganda is promoting Islam and undermining Christianity and the perpetrators are going directly against the traditional teaching of the Methodist Church.

The founder of Methodism, John Wesley, was well aware of the dangers of Islam and warned his followers that Muslims were “wolves and tigers to all other nations”, and hellbent on destroying Christianity. Yet 250 years later, some of his 21st-century followers are using their time, energy and money to promote Islam and attack the British National Party, the only political voice in the country standing up for Britain’s Christian traditions.

This latest Lord Haw-Haw project has been set up by the Methodist district of Sheffield in partnership with the Anglican Diocese of Sheffield and aims to “challenge Islamophobia, racism and divisive politics” in the region. It has been given a £75,000 grant by the Equality and Human Rights Commission to try to “stem the electoral successes of the BNP”.

The grant will pay for two posts during the run-up to the General Election. A full-time project officer and a part-time communications officer will be employed to put out anti-BNP propaganda while at the same time promoting Islam as a ‘religion of peace’ (above).

The Rev Vernon Marsh, chairman of the Sheffield Methodist District, describes the project as a partnership between Methodists, Anglicans and the Sheffield faith leaders group, which includes Buddhists, Roman Catholics, Jews and a Muslim.

He said the purpose of the project was to stop the recent success of the BNP.
“BNP is specifically warning over the growth of Islam, they try and take the right of speaking as a Christian voice against Islam.”

While John Wesley might be spinning in his grave at the actions of those in the midst of Methodism briefing against his teaching, the Muslim community appears less than enthusiastic over the efforts of mis-guided Christians to promote a better understanding of Islam.

Abdool Gooljar, president of the Sheffield branch of the Islamic Society of Britain, who has worked in interfaith relations in the area for 20 years, organising faith walks with Anglicans, Methodists and other faiths said the project would need to overcome scepticism from the Muslim population first.

He said. “This project will need selling to the Muslim community to get them on board, and I hope I can do that. I hope it will be successful, especially in the wake of successes by the BNP in elections.”

YOU don’t get much more of a Labour stronghold than Jarrow in South Tyneside – a town made famous by heavy industries like coal mining and shipbuilding, as well as its history fighting for jobs.

The main shipyard Palmers, employed 80% of the town’s working population until its closure in 1934. Around 1,000 ships were built at the yard.

The closure of the shipyard was responsible for the event which made Jarrow a household name across the country. The town was the starting point for the Jarrow Crusade to London to protest against unemployment in Britain in 1936.

Since then, the town has returned huge majorities for each and every Labour Party politician standing for office.

That is until last night, when nearly one-in-three of the residents in the town’s Primrose Ward voted for the British National Party.

This was the full result:
Ken Stephenson (Lab) – 854
Pete Hodgkinson (BNP) – 566
Aaron Luke (Ind) – 213
David Rice (Ind) – 174
Anthony Lanaghan (Con) – 124
Susan Troupe (Lib Dem) – 100
BNP Percentage: 27.9%

The 33% turn-out for a local council election was high for the town showing that the BNP campaign motivated voters from all the parties to make an effort to cast their vote.

“We fought a good campaign and are pleased with the result,” said Ken Booth, the British National Party’s North-East Regional Organiser.

“Pete Hodgkinson was an excellent candidate and his hard-working team pulled out all the stops to achieve this ground-breaking result.

“We have showed that we can take on Labour in its very heartland and make serious in-roads into the vote that it has taken for granted for generations.

“We shall be back in May for the full round of local elections and are hoping to build on our 566 tally from last night.”

The election was a disaster for both the Tories and Liberal Democrats whose candidates were pushed into 5th and 6th place by two Independent candidates. The Conservative vote crashed by nearly 13% – showing just what Jarrow thinks of David Cameron and his empty soundbites.

NICK Griffin has warned the Oldham Chronicle that its deliberate policy of playing down anti-white racist attacks in the town could lead to another death like that of Gavin Hopley (left) in 2002.

The North West MEP was angry that the newspaper had claimed in a report on an attack on four white youngsters by a Muslim gang that the police were NOT treating the incident as a racial attack.

The teenagers, two male and two female, were jumped by the group of seven men.
One needed hospital treatment after suffering cuts and bruises from being kicked and punched in the head and ribs.

The Chronicle reported:
“Police say they do not believe there was a racial element and have classed the crime as common assault.”

But when the MEP’s legal team contacted the police they said they WERE treating it as a racial attack.

The incident happened on Featherstall Road North, opposite Tesco, at around 6.40pm on Wednesday.

One of the youngsters’ mother told the newspaper:
“They punched her and kicked her. She was just in shock and crying. She’s all right but frightened to go out and would not go to college today. She’s very upset about it.”

And Nick Griffin is upset too.

“By claiming that the attack wasn’t racially motivated, the newspaper is trying to play down it’s importance. The Chronicle did the same sort of thing before Gavin Hopley was murdered. This doctored reporting to meet politically correct NUJ guidelines is highly irresponsible,” he said.

Gavin Hopley was kicked to death by a gang of ten Muslim men and youths after straying into the Muslim-dominated ‘no-go’ area of Glodwick.

Gavin came from Rochdale and due to a conspiracy of silence by Greater Manchester police and the media over a spate of anti-white racist attacks in Oldham in the preceeding months, was unaware of the danger he was in walking through this part of the town.

Gavin was cornered and brutally beaten, with his head being stamped on time and time again. He was taken to hospital but never regained consciousness.

THERE’S a great deal of speculation that support for the British National Party is rising and that’s why the bookies have dramatically cut the odds of the Party winning a seat at the General Election in May – that’s according to a report this morning on the influential betting website Gaming Supermarket.

In 2005 when the British National Party fought 119 seats at the last General Election and polled 192,746, the odds for the BNP winning a seat was a whopping 500-1.

Today it’s a very different story with the leading bookmakers – Victor Chandler, Paddy Power, William Hill and Ladbrokes all clipping the BNP’s odds to just 3-1. Paddy Power also offers odds on the number of votes the BNP are likely to receive in the next General Election, with a cautious 9-4 for the Party polling over 500,000 – two and a half times what the Party achieved five years ago.

Money talks and the bookmakers are just reflecting the feeling in the country at the moment. The report on the Gaming Supermarket website adds to the stature of the BNP within the betting markets by reporting “it is impossible to deny that support for the party continues to grow”.

And that confidence behind the British National Party was born out by one of the highest BNP votes achieved without canvassing in an election in Leicestershire last night.

British National Party candidate John Oatley polled 288 votes in the Birstall Watermead by-election – a 20.4% vote share in a ward not contested before. The Tories won the seat but John was just 164 votes behind the second placed Labour candidate, a performance that prompted the winning Tory candidate Iain Bentley to tell the Leicester Mercury: “I was concerned at the amount of votes the BNP got.”

THE British National Party is proving more adept at using email as part of its digital election strategy than its rivals according to new research.

A study conducted by Return Path over a two month period (November to January) showed the three main parties missing out on opportunities to influence voters in the run-up to the General Election, which is expected to be held in May.

The study found that the British National Party sent the most emails, underscoring its use of digital media to fight the election. The Party sent a total of 20 messages and waited only 24-hours before sending its welcome message.

The Tories were best of the rest, sending 12 email messages over the period while Labour sent only one and the Liberal Democrats none at all.

The three parties also failed to send immediate welcome messages after people signed up to receive updates. It took the Tories six days to send email message and Labour 58 days.

While many companies are increasingly exploiting the integration of social media and email the UK’s political parties are not. They are still failing to make the best use of this.
The same is true of the two main parties and their websites. Neither displays its social media presence on the homepage with no invitations to “Become a fan” or to “Follow us on Twitter”.

Consultants are telling companies to integrate social media with their email marketing and to be sure to include links to their social media websites and blogs.
Yet according to the research only the Conservatives and the BNP have incorporated social media links into their email.

Unlike the British National Party, the three main parties are also failing on a most basic level of social media sharing with none of the parties including a send to a friend button in their email either or a donate button.

AFTER 4 months of lobbying, badgering and protesting, the British National Party Group on Stoke on Trent City Council have been successful in getting the popular Willfield Fitness Centre (left) in Bentilee removed from the council’s cut back list as indicated in the 2010-2011 budget.

After meeting with officials, BNP group leader Mike Coleman was delighted to be able to report that the centre had been removed from the closure list and will instead be monitored over the coming year by our local BNP Councillors and council officers to review the services offered at that facility.

“Our intention is to improve what is on offer at this site, possibly bring in more people, hence money, to the centre by promoting the facility widely throughout the city. This is a vitally important community asset and must be maintained at all costs,” he told the local media.

Unusually, the BNP’s North West MEP Nick Griffin, was also brought in to help the campaign even though the centre wasn’t in his constituency.

“I was contact back a number of BNP supporters from Stoke and asked to use what influence I had to get the centre’s possible closure reviewed,” Nick explained.

“I wrote to Stoke MP Mark Fisher and he was able to confirm that the centre was to remain open but did warn that in the present climate nothing can be considered totally safe.”

The MP for Stoke central certainly seemed to hold the centre in high esteem. In his reply to Nick Griffin he said:
“This is indeed an outstanding Centre on the site of a former High School on the edge of tyhe bentilee estate and of the County Park. It was valued as a school in the 1970s and 1980s and has been valued as a centre for voluntary organisations, adult education, sports etc. ever since. I’d be delighted to show you round it when you are next in Stoke.”
And that’s an offer the British National Party chairman will certainly be taking up.

“I shall be a regular visitor to Mark’s constituency over the next 10 weeks campaigning on behalf of our candidate Simon Darby who is a serious contender for the seat. I will be back in contact with him to arrange a visit to the centre and to get an update on its future.”

NOT bad for small political party with just two MEPs in the 736-strong European Parliament.

Yesterday in Strasbourg both Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons were able to make their presence felt in the Chamber with speeches which showed that within the very heart of the European Union there are voices of reality and voices of dissent.

The British National Party’s leader stunned MEPs with a hard hitting speech during a debate on tax co-operation across Member States.

Nick told the European Parliament:
“Discussing tax co-operation during the gathering Euro crisis is rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic.

“The southern nations are known in English by the harsh acronym, PIGS, but those being crucified on the Euro are not pigs, but people scourged by Utopian one-size-fits-all dogma.

“Their economies will either die of a thousands cuts, or be bailed out, to the ruin of taxpayers in Britain and elsewhere. There will be very little tax to co-operate over.

“There are two ways out: abolish the Euro and return to the captive nations of this Strawberry Soviet their own currencies; or expel the problem countries from the Euro. That might be the PIGS. More justly it would be Germany and her French collaborator, because running the Euro in the German interest is the root of this shambles.

“This endless crisis will destroy the federal project, tax co-operation and all. The tragedy is that it will grind so many innocent victims into poverty before it does so.”

Four hours later, Andrew Brons had Labour and Conservative Party MEPs squirming in their seats as he once again exposed the sham of Britain’s opt out of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.

He closely questioned Mr. Diego Lopez Garrido, the Spanish Secretary for European Affairs – Spain currently holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union – on the very subject.

“The governments of three member states (including the United Kingdom) told their electorates that they had secured ‘opt-outs’ from the Charter of Fundamental Rights. However, some members of this Committee have argued that these opt-outs are worthless, since the Lisbon Treaty. If these members of the Committee should be right, would you persuade the governments of those countries to tell the truth to their electorates.”

Mr. Lopez did not reply to this question!

Andrew then tackled the Spainish Minister on his opening speech when he declared the European Union being a force for democracy in the world:

“You spoke of democracy as a central principle of the European Union and I agree that it should be. However, democracy cannot exist without freedom of speech but member states of the EU imprison people for non-violent comment and heretical opinion.

Indeed, from November of this year, the European Union plans to extend throughout Europe, the criminalisation, not just of speech and writing, but even of thought – what they call xenophobia – which means fear of foreigners, state of mind. This is a truly Orwellian Thought Crime.

I’m afraid there is an inverse relationship between those who proclaim their belief in democracy and those who practise it. The test of being a true democrat is not whether or not a person defends the rights of himself or somebody with whom he agrees. It is whether or not he is prepared to defend the rights of his opponents.”

Mr. Lopez said he did not agree with the MEP for Yorkshire and North East Lincolnshire.

A BRAVE university debating society has finally caved-in to threats from Labour Party thugs and cancelled a debate where two elected British National Party representatives were due to speak.


The Durham Union Society had invited Yorkshire and North East Lincolnshire MEP Andrew Brons, and Leeds City Councillor Chris Beverley, to oppose the motion: “This house believes in a multicultural Britain” in the Debating Chamber on the Palace Green in Durham City.

But the Labour Party-funded UAF gang (above) vowed to stop the two British National Party politicians from taking part in the debate and after a series of threatening telephone calls to university staff, along with threats of a violent demonstration outside the venue, the Durham Union Society – one of the world’s oldest student debating societies – reluctantly pulled the plug on the event.

Not only was the news disappointing for Andrew Brons (left) and Chris Beverley, it was also a blow to Kulveer Ranger, an advisor to Boris Johnson, and the Conservative MP Edward Leigh who were due to propose the motion.

Anna Birley, the president of Durham Union Society, told the Northern Echo just two days ago:


“As president, I am responsible for promoting open debate, which means inviting people with opposing points of view.”

While Professor Chris Higgins, the vice-chancellor of Durham University, had backed the society’s stance:

“The university is a strong advocate of freedom of speech, we did not oppose the right of the Durham Union Society to invite British National Party representatives as long as they spoke as part of an open debate.”

But now the enemies of free speech have won the day and the students of Durham University have been denied the opportunity to listen to an important debate and challenge those taking part.

“Labour Party thugs might have won this battle but they are losing the war,” said a BNP spokesman when told of the cancellation.

“Students by their very nature have inquisitive minds and they won’t like the book-burners of the UAF dictating what they can and can not listen too.

“Such actions by Gordon Brown’s bankrupt band of followers only goes to raise the profile of the British National Party as well as helping us to recruit new members.”

THE Church of England has told its clergy to refuse to allow British National Party candidates to take part in election hustings if they are being held in church buildings.

It has also instructed clergy not to talk to British National Party candidates and never get into discussion with them about policy.

The advice comes in new updated guidance from the Archbishops’ Council Mission and Public Affairs Division which has been issued this morning.

It’s the first time that the Church has recommended that British National Party candidates should not be invited to meetings in the run-up to the General Election, a move it acknowledges will deny local people the chance to question BNP candidates on the Party’s policies.

The new guidance also acknowledges that:

“The recent discourse of the far-right has developed in a direction where intolerance is often cloaked in the language of culture and faith.

“Lately the British National Party has sought to promote itself as a guardian of ‘British Christian heritage’ against an increasing ‘Islamification’ of British society.

“BNP supporters and candidates have established a ‘Christian Council of Britain’ which stresses the ‘godly importance of race and nation”.

“Often those elected from such parties will seek to make civic capital through contact with church leaders to increase their local standing. Church leaders need to have thought through how they will react. Local churches may now be faced with deciding how to distance themselves from groups and councillors – whose policies and attitudes they opposed during the elections, while maintaining pastoral engagement with those who voted for them and council officials who continue their work as public servants.”

A BNP spokesman said that the Church of England’s action was not only undemocratic but also showed just how out of touch the Church is with the feelings of its congregations.

“There is a significant number of active Christians within our ranks and they will be making sure that church-goers throughout the country are made aware of what the British National Party really stands for in the run-up to the General Election.

“Time and again the Church seems to be acting against what the vast majority of its followers want. The promotion of homosexuality is a clear example of this.

“It seems that the Archbishops’ Council is opposed to the BNP warning about the danger Britons face from of the growth of Islam on our shores.

“The vast majority of CofE congregations agree with our stance on this and understand the threat posed to Christianity.

“The Church itself, by issuing these undemocratic guidelines, shows that it is prepared to build its own funeral pyre.”

NICK Griffin has responded promptly to a “misinformed” attack on the British National Party by Philip Wedgwood-Brand from the left-wing trade union, Unison.

Wedgwood-Brand from the South West London Mental Health Branch claimed that the British National Party was against the National Health Service and that it has only changed its stance on this in the chase for votes.

The Unison official wrote to the MEP for the North West of England saying:

“I am very much proud of the NHS and I would very much appreciate it if it was not used as a political football by politicians who only use it as a means to further their own careers. That is what the BNP is doing with its new found support for the NHS after a road to Damascus style conversion regarding the issue. They are exploiting concerns over the NHS and its present state after years of Conservative inspired marketisation, not as you claim uncontrolled immigration, and hoping this will win them votes from misguided individuals.

“This is rather a volte-farce (sic) given your earlier assertions that the NHS “stands against everything our party stands for” I wonder what made you change your mind?
Was it perhaps opportunistic political expediency by any chance?

“Please refrain from claiming that the BNP is a friend of the NHS as many who work for the latter know full well that it is not, has never been and never will be . . .”

The attack left Nick Griffin a little bemused:

“I’m afraid Philip is way off beam on this and I can only think that it’s the usual anti-BNP propaganda from Unison.

“I echo his concerns over the present state of the NHS and agree that this has been caused by the Labour Government implementing the Conservative’s privatisation policies.

“The British National Party has a long, proud and very well documented history of supporting the NHS so this attack by Unison is completely unfounded.

“We even have a specially produced national leaflet explaining how we will ensure the survival of the National Health Service.”

The British National Party has certainly been critical of NHS managers looting the Third World of nurses while qualified British nurses and midwives can’t find work.

Four years ago Steve Johnson writing in the BNP’s monthly newspaper Freedom said:

“Like some callous colonial power, the Labour Government is plundering the Third World of its skilled nurses in a last desperate bid to stave off the collapse of the NHS.

“Cut price nursing is needed to keep afloat our once fine National Health Service which is now being abused by over two million people who haven’t paid a penny in contributions, yet whose ever-increasing demands are pushing our hospitals to the brink.”

The report carried a quote from Percy Mahlati, the Deputy Director-General of the South African Department of Health, protesting that Britain’s National Health Service was still stealing his country’s nurses, despite repeatedly promising to stop the practice. Things were even worse in the Philipines where hospitals in Manila had been forced to close because Filipino nurses had been enticed to come to Britain.

“The NHS should be staffed by British doctors and nurses which will enable Third World workers to return home to look after the people who need their help most, concluded Mr Johnson.

The newspaper has on numerous occasions carried articles condemning Labour’s privatisation of the health service.

In a report entitled “Privatisation is destroying our National Health Service”, Tina Wingfield wrote:

“THE CRISIS state of a health system that was once the envy of the world is evident in an analysis of the NHS conducted recently by the British Medical Association.

“The BMA reports that a third of NHS trusts are preparing to reduce services to avoid a debt crisis. 73% of NHS Trusts are facing a funding shortfall in the current year, almost half are proposing a recruitment freeze and a third are considering staff redundancies and bed closures.

“The situation has arisen, despite unprecedented Treasury investment, because Conservative and Labour governments have railroaded market principles into public services. When a system operates according to business values, there has to be winners and losers. In the case of the NHS, crucial funding is being diverted away from patient care to fund bureaucratic administration systems and provide profits for greedy corporations.”

Nick Griffin believes that the Unison official should apologise for his unfair attack on the Party.

“It is important that the public are told the truth about BNP policies especially at election time. I hope Philip will now admit that he got it wrong and do the right thing by setting the record straight.”

Taking a trip down Memory Lane – September 2005: 60,000 copies of the British National Party’s newspaper Freedom, were seized at Dover Docks as the authorities sought legal advice on the front page article “What about showing some solidarity with the British People!”

Below is reprinted the article which was written just three months after the London tube and bus bombings which left 56 people dead and more than 700 injured.

“OUR PEOPLE, our Christian values and our British way of life are under attack from Islamic terrorists living in our very midst.

Fifty-six innocent people making their way to work in our capital city are no longer with us because of bombs planted by the followers of a dangerous, archaic creed that want to take civilisation back to the Middle Ages.

You would have thought that our police forces would be rallying around to show support for the British people and clamping down on the communities from where the suicide bombers came from.

You would have thought that our trade unions would be boosting the morale of the British people, rallying them to stand firm in the face of the followers of a totalitarian religion that is prepared to indiscriminately kill to further their ends.

But you would be wrong. Police in Nottinghamshire are wearing green ribbons to show solidarity with the Muslim community.

Twenty thousand “Good Faith” ribbons will be worn by officers to symbolise belief in Muslims as a people of peace.

Chief Constable Steve Green said: “We have a huge number of Muslim citizens in Nottinghamshire. They feel intimidated and sometimes ostracised by the perception that the white community suspects everybody with a brown face of being a suicide bomber.”

Green’s prompt initiative over Islamic ribbons is in stark contrast to his force’s disappointing clear-up rate for crime in Nottinghamshire. His force is under review by the Home Office after it was revealed that cases had to be “farmed out” to other forces to get them solved.

Bedforshire Police were another force who took prompt action, this time in the hunt for terrorists. They issued an 18-point guide to officers dealing with Muslims who are suspected of terrorism.

The guidelines state that ‘the Muslim community feels victimised and suspicious of counter terrorist police operations’.

Officers were told to follow these rules:
• Community leaders should be consulted before raids into Muslim houses.
• Officers should not search occupied bedrooms and bathrooms before dawn.
• Use of police dogs will be considered serious desecration of the premises.
• Cameras and camcorders should not be used in case capturing women in inappropriate dress.
• If people are praying at home, officers should stand aside and not disrupt the prayer. They should be allowed the opportunity to finish.
• Officers should take their shoes off before raiding a Muslim house.
• The reasons for pre-dawn raids on Muslim houses needs to be clear and transparent.
• Officers must not touch holy books or religious artefacts without permission.
• Muslim prisoners should be allowed to take additional clothing to the station.

A Bedfordshire Police spokesman said: “The guidelines have been issued to all staff as a reminder of the force protocol when entering a Muslim household.”

The National Union of Teachers were also quick off the mark issuing a 4-page A4 brochure to teachers on the terrorist attacks. But despite the traumatic effect of the terrorists attacks being timed to coincide with pupils travelling to schools, the NUT didn’t seem too concerned about the effect of this on children.

NUT advice was in the main about the well-being of pupils and teachers from minority ethnic groups and any negative and stereotyped views of Islam and Muslims being expressed by parents. In fact much of the brochure was given over to challenging Islamophobia, tackling racism and any tensions that might arise between different ethnic groups.

Since the terrorist attacks in July the politically correct brigade within the police, the trade unions and the media have succeded in turning truth and logic on its head. Within a month of innocent British people being slaughtered, apparently it is no longer us who are the victims or Islamic fanatics who are to blame.

Now it is the Muslim community living in Britain who must have our sympathy and it is the British people who are responsible for causing their discomfort.”

After holding the newspapers for 72 hours, they were released after the Department for Public Prosecutions said that there was no case to answer.

Freedom Issue No.64 became one of the paper’s best-selling editions thanks to the publicity surrounding its seizure.

“It is within the power of every individual in this room, of every voter in Salford, to take decisive action to cleanse our political system of these corrupt career politicians.

“The voting public possesses the means to save our country and people from social, cultural and economic collapse and it is at their fingertips . . . if only they could remove the blinkers of spent and out-dated political loyalties that to date, seem to have prevented them from recognising and reacting to the realities of their predicament.

“Put a cross against my name on General Election day and I promise that I will strive to produce a political revolution whereby the true interest and well-being of the British people is put above and beyond any other consideration.”

That was Tina Wingfield speaking at a packed Working Men’s club in Salford last night as she launched her General Election campaign in the city.

Tina received an enthusiastic reception from more than 70 local members and supports as she attacked the arrogance and ignorance of the Old Gang political parties.

A collection at the meeting raised £650 which delighted new Salford Organiser Gary Tumulty:

“We have a dedicated team of local activists who will pull out all the stops to get Tina elected.

“Hazel Blears has lost the confidence of the electorate because of the way she exploited the expenses system and now this constituency has become a real marginal.

“If we can attract additional funding, we have ambitious plans to make sure that the British National Party becomes the main challenger to Labour in Salford,” he told the audience.

This was Tina’s speech (in full) to the Salford meeting last night:

“First and foremost, I would like to thank the Salford Branch for nominating me as the prospective parliamentary candidate for the anticipated General Election in May, and for the invitation to this meeting. The local team have placed their faith in me and I hope that I will be able to convince the voters of Salford to do the same.

“I have been asked to come along this evening to introduce myself and to outline my reasons for standing in this election, so I’ll begin by telling you a little bit about my background.

“I currently work as the Constituency Manager for Nick Griffin MEP, based in the Cumbria office. I provide a front-line service to constituents in the North West who need help or advice from their MEP. Since Nick’s election, closely followed by Question Time, the level of correspondence received has been phenomenal. There is evidently a lot of frustration amongst the electorate with the Establishment political parties, and voters are keen to make contact with a politician that they trust.

“Prior to this role, which I have to say is my most exciting and gratifying to date, I have worked in various social welfare fields, including housing, mental health, education and criminal justice. This vocational experience has given me a varying range of skills which I believe are crucial to providing constituents with a professional, efficient and yet empathic service.

“Having been sacked from my post as a mental health counsellor with the National Health Service simply for standing as a candidate for the British National Party, I have personal experience of the injustice of political correctness, and this allows me to fully appreciate the frustration and anger that is felt by many ordinary Britons in today’s topsy turvy democracy. It’s a system that overtly follows different rules for different community groups and one which, as we are all only too aware, relegates us indigenous Brits to the very bottom of the pile.

“I first became aware of the emerging inequalities in our new PC society as a youngster and received my first Party membership card as a 14th birthday present from my family in 1981. My parents had been fooled by Margaret Thatcher’s famous ‘Britain is being swamped by mass immigration’ speech and were deeply disappointed when she promptly discarded her promises to confront the problem the second she was gifted the political power to do something positive about it. Like many voters at the time, they turned instead to the nationalist political Party of the day whose fire Thatcher had stolen with her empty pledges.

“Apart from a brief interlude living abroad in France, I have been involved in nationalist politics ever since. I first stood as a parliamentary candidate back in 1988 and have seen the nationalist vote percentage rise steadily. In the last County County elections in Cumbria, I polled a very respectable 20% of the vote, pushing the Tories into third place behind me. Unfortunately, Labour came in first on that occasion, but we are beginning to provide a real challenge to this arrogant and corrupt breed of career politicians.

“So why am I standing in Salford?

“Most importantly, because the local group believes that I am a credible candidate and kindly asked me to represent the Party in this crucial forthcoming election. Salford has a dedicated team of local activists who have been working diligently in the area for years, building and promoting the Party and taking every opportunity to get the nationalist message across to their fellow voters in the Constituency. Again, I thank them for their faith in me and pledge to do my utmost to justify their choice.

“There are serious local issues which need to be addressed and you do not have to live in Salford to be aware of, and to understand, the issues of importance to people. These problems will be highlighted in my campaign literature and the solutions outlined. Thousands of local leaflets have already been distributed in the area, and by the time voters go to the Polls, they will be fully informed about the British nationalist viewpoint on the major issues of local concern and how we intend to put them right. These issues cannot however, be addressed successfully in isolation from the national political picture.

“There can be no one left in any doubt that there are fundamental national issues to confront which affect not just the people of Salford but the entire electorate. This once proud nation of ours has been in terminal decline for decades and whether you live in Salford or Carlisle, you cannot escape the detrimental impact of social and economic disintegration. I can represent the dispossessed majority regardless of where I currently reside.

“I am, like many of the native inhabitants of this beleaguered isle – effectively – a social refugee. I’m a statistic of the phenomenon of ‘white flight’ – the modern social disease which has seen whole areas of this country ethnically cleansed. I was born and bred in East London, with my extended family resident all around me. The whole of London alas, has changed in recent years beyond all recognition as a result of unrestricted mass immigration. The borough of Newham in London was the first to see white people form the ethnic minority. By 2060, this will apply across the country, so it will not be long before Salford joins the ranks of the fallen cities.

“Thankfully, I, along with thousands of other original Londoners escaped the new ‘diverse’ and ‘vibrant’ city – abandoning my home to what the PC Brigade euphemistically used to refer to as our invited and very essential guests, to whom we should be eternally grateful for their presence. I have left a few members of my family, tied by economic imperative, to face the realities of the multicultural nightmare – my older niece attends a university where she is one of only three White students in her academic faculty and she is consistently made to feel an outsider; a stranger who has no rightful place in the area. My younger niece and nephew attend schools, again as perceived ‘outsiders’ and celebrate a range of ethnic festivals such as Diwali and the Chinese New Year to the detriment of traditional Christian events. These are discouraged as they may cause offence to what the PC cranks now refer to as our fellow ‘Brits’.

“The people of Salford, I’m sure, recognise that unless we stem the tide of white flight, we will eventually reach the outer parameters of this land and be left with little choice but to leap lemming-like off the edge. There is immigration and there is colonisation. When you consider the sheer numbers that have entered this country, it is evident that we are being colonised. If you imagine Britain as a lifeboat, we welcomed some newcomers onboard to share in our steady success, but now the boat is sinking under the enormous pressure resulting from our charitable intentions and we have to say ‘enough is enough’ in order to ensure our own – and our invited guests’ – survival. The British National Party is the only party that has the courage and conviction to say that immigration to these shores must be halted.

“I have two daughters at university and a son in college. They have little prospect of finding sufficiently paid jobs to enable them to sustain a fair standard of living and I fear for their future. Whilst immigration and economic migration has increased year on year – supposedly providing an essential flow of people to do the jobs that British people will not do – unemployment levels have crept ever higher. The true figures are now well camouflaged within various benefits packages, but the people of Salford, know that the reality is that work is hard to find these days. This is not surprising as successive Labour and Conservative governments have done nothing to protect our manufacturing industry from being systematically shipped abroad, the consequence of the global capitalist economic imperative where profit outweighs national interest. Why pay British nationals a decent wage when you can pay a pittance to a Third World worker? Moreover, why pay a British nurse or health-worker a decent salary when you can import an Eastern European economic migrant to do the same job for a fraction of the wage?

“Irrespective of who makes up the workforce of the National Health Service, this essential public service is in terminal decline. Labour and Tory governments have presided over the dismantling and destruction of what was once the envy of the world. While privatisation is taking place by stealth in the health, education and welfare services, and the consequences of this policy yet to be felt in full force, the disastrous effects of privatisation are evident in just about our entire national infrastructure. Our transport and utilities systems are decaying and services retracting as a result of the need for managers to extricate ever fatter profits for greedy shareholders who have no involvement with the service, save to raid the collective pot for their ‘earned’ dividends.

“I’m afraid I paint a rather bleak picture, but I offer no apologies for this. Contrary to what the Labour-Tory-Lib Dem alliance would have us believe, there is a much deeper social malaise within Britain to confront than their pathetic edge-tinkering around the same failed policies can ever hope to achieve.

“All is far from lost however. Recognising the problem brings us half way to solving it. The appalling problems we face are man-made, or to be more precise, they are politician-made. We are not facing an unavoidable doom to which no solution is possible; nor are we facing an omnipotent enemy that should strike fear into our hearts. As the expenses scandal has illustrated well, mainstream politicians are mere facades of decent people; they have no real political, principled substance and are simply playing the career game to gain as much personal wealth and social power as they can grab during their term of office. The less they rock the boat of the political Establishment, and threaten the status quo, the more likely they are to sustain a long-term and very profitable career.

“What these corrupt and arrogant band of bureaucrats seem to have forgotten however – presuming themselves untouchable as a result of their cosy political alliance – is that they are, in fact, wholly answerable to the will of the people. Those individuals who delivered them to their seats of power can so easily remove them by switching their vote to an alternative Party. This, I have no doubt, is a realisation now proving rather unpalatable to the resident MP, Hazel Blears, still desperately trying to formulate excuses for being caught with her hand in the biscuit tin, so to speak… although I do believe she helped herself to a lot more than a few custard creams.

“It is within the power of every individual in this room, every voter in Salford, to take decisive action to cleanse our political system of these corrupt career politicians. The voting public possesses the means to save our country and people from social, cultural and economic collapse and it is at their fingertips . . . , if only they could remove the blinkers of spent and out-dated political loyalties that to date, seem to have prevented them from recognising and reacting to the realities of their predicament.

Put a cross against my name on General Election day, and urge your family, friends and colleagues to do likewise, and I promise that I will strive to produce a political revolution whereby the true interest and well-being of the British people is put above and beyond any other consideration.

Place your faith in the British National Party and I guarantee you will change the destiny of the British people. We can and we will win back our country.”

THE ICONIC British company of Cadbury is no longer British. Like much of British industry over the past thirty years it now has foreign owners.

Decisions effecting the lives of British workers will now be made in boardrooms ‘across the pond’ in America. When this recession bites deeper or the next recession hits even harder, new owners Kraft will be jettisoning jobs in the UK first. That’s because the company’s bosses’ loyalty will be to its American workforce and the company’s balance sheet loyalty will be to sweat-shop labour in Asia and Eastern Europe.

A near-200 year old British tradition has disappeared at the stroke of an accountants pen, and a proud history of innovation, patriotism and sacrifice has been deemed worthless in the scramble for bigger profits and keener margins.

During the First World War, more than 2,000 Cadbury employees joined the Armed Forces. To support the war effort, the company provided clothing, books and chocolate to soldiers in the trenches.

During World War II, parts of the Bournville factory were turned over to war work, producing milling machines and pilot seats. Cadbury workers not fit to fight ploughed football fields in which to plant crops. Cadburys chocolate was regarded as such an essential food that it was placed under government supervision for the entire war.

Cadbury Brothers of Birmingham was founded in 1824, when John and Benjamin Cadbury began vending tea, coffee, and drinking chocolate, which they produced themselves, at Bull Street in Birmingham.

The company received the Royal Warrant as manufacturers of chocolate and cocoa to Queen Victoria in 1854 and in 1879 the factory in Bournville was opened and a model village for its workers (above) built nearby.

Now an integral part of the British economy has gone and the decision on the future of more than 30,000 British jobs handed over to a foreign power.

But the most sickening aspect of the whole sorry story is the betrayal of a British company by its own Government. The takeover of Cadburys by Kraft was funded by the Royal Bank of Scotland – a bank 84% owned by the Government and only in existence because it was bailed out with taxpayers’ money, but without taxpayers’ consent.

The Bournville workers who sacrificed their lives in two world wars must be spinning in their graves at this betrayal.

THE British National Party’s main General Election campaign theme, ‘Bring Our Boys Home’, will provide voters with a clear choice at the ballot box – whether to support the warmongering Old Gang parties or the BNP, the only political party which will recall our troops home from Afghanistan with immediate effect.

That is what the British National Party Chairman Nick Griffin, told a packed meeting of over 200 officials at the January Organisers’ Conference in Hertfordshire yesterday as he unveiled the new General Election ‘Bring our Boys Home’ backdrop.

He told delegates that the British National Party had already ‘won’ our General Election campaign because the Labour Party were channeling funds and full-time activists into seats where they faced a challenge from the BNP.

“What greater compliment can Gordon Brown & Co have paid the British National Party than to provide our party with the credibility of being serious contenders for a parliamentary seat. Whatever the outcome of our election efforts in Barking, Dagenham, Thurrock and Stoke, the fact that Labour are pouring in vital resources to beat us will show the public that the British National Party have arrived centre stage in British politics,” he said.

Eddy Butler (left), the General Election campaign manager not only spoke on the mechanics of our election effort but also on how local BNP groups must use the Government’s Prevent Scheme to help build the Party’s stature within the community.

“When the police and council officials approach our councillors and local representatives to help them meet their requirements under the scheme to prevent the growth of Muslim extremism, we should co-operate fully. The first reaction from most of our people will be “it’s your mess – you clear it up”, but that won’t help our credibility amongst voters. To win locally we must be involved and informed of all that is going on within the community,” he said.

There were other speeches from the Director of Publicity Mark Collett on what election literature would be provided by the Party, from Paul Golding on fundraising and from James North, the chairman of the BNP’s association of councillors, on promoting the work of our local representatives.

There was a warm reception for Richard Barnbrook as he outlined the campaign in Barking for both the General Election and local council elections. He urged activists nationwide to come to Barking whenever possible as these elections will be the one that captures the public’s imagination.

“Please come and play your part in Barking,” Richard told the audience. “I know many of you are fighting your own campaigns, but Barking is where the political earthquake will happen if there is to be one.”

He said that that accommodation would be found for those wanting to stay and that teams are going out every day to ensure that the campaign will be the best one ever fought by the British National Party.

Finally Nick Griffin updated delegates to the latest state of play with regard to the legal action brought against the BNP by the Equality Commission. He told the meeting:

“The relevant sections of the constitution are being sent to court this week and we are asking for a short adjournment on account of the disruption to meetings with lawyers caused by the record snowfalls. I’m hopeful that this will be accepted by the court. The CRE have waited 28 years for this so I’m certain that another fortnight won’t make any difference.”

ETHNIC minority voters will play a more decisive role in the 2010 General Election than in any earlier poll, boasts the Asian Image website which describes itself as the “Voice of the Asian Community”.

According to research by Professor Muhammad Anwar of the University of Warwick, some 25 parliamentary constituencies have more than 40% of their voting population from ethnic minorities. He also claims that voters from the Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Indian communities are more likely to go to the polls and cast their vote than their white neighbours.

He also predicts that Muslim voters will turn out in greater numbers than ever before . . . and that’s not just because there are more Muslims now living in Britain than ever before!

Professor Anwar revealed:

”Our research shows that the higher levels of turn-out among Asians and particularly Muslim groups are likely to continue in future,” said Prof Anwar.

”In recent years, Muslims have become more conscious of their rights, including participation in the electoral process.”

The highest proportions of ethnic minority voters were found in East Harrow (66.3%), Birmingham Ladywood (64.9%), Birmingham Sparkbrook and Small Heath (64.8%), and Brent South (64.6%). In all, nine constituencies had a majority of voters from ethnic minorities.
