Freedom out this week

THE January issue of Freedom is out this week and it’s an ideal issue with which to start the year.

The front page spells out our hopes for the next 12 months in no uncertain terms: 2009 - The Year of the BNP!

Inside the newspaper is full of the sort of stories that will help show the public what our Party is really all about and the increasing amount of community work that our councillors get done.

Please make sure you get along to your local BNP meeting this month and buy a few extra copies of Freedom to give to your friends and neighbours so that they can see the true face of the British National Party.

Media’s anti-BNP bias is helping us in Cumbria

LABOUR WIN KELLS BY-ELECTION BY JUST 16 VOTES

“LABOUR retained the Kells and Sandwith seat in Whitehaven following yesterday’s by-election.
Mother-of-two Wendy Skillicorn won 418 of the 1,042 votes, beating the British National Party’s candidate Simon Nicholson by just 16 votes. Brigid Anne Whiteside of the Conservative party got 190 votes. Only 26.6 per cent of the ward turned up to cast their votes in polling stations across Kells and Sandwith. The by-election was called to fill the vacant Cumbria County Council position left by Joe McAllister who died in July.”

That’s how our local newspaper the News & Star reported the result of last Thursday’s Kells by-election in Whitehaven!

You can’t help smirking, can you? The understatement is classic. No mention of the Labour majority slashed from 1010. No mention of the 900 votes that the Labour Party had lost. No mention of the British National Party taking 40% of all votes cast, or any suggestion that the 400-plus BNP votes almost certainly came from voters who had directly switched from Labour. It’s as if the newspaper was completely unaware of the significance of the result.

But don’t be fooled, the News & Star is all too well aware of the significance of the result, and that is why the report was so ridiculously low key.

On its website, the newspaper describes itself as thus:

“A fresh, bright and bold daily newspaper that is genuinely ‘part of daily life’ all across North Cumbria. With its vibrant content of hard news, human interest stories, regular columnists, specialist features and supplements and unashamedly partisan football coverage, you can be sure the News & Star is connected to its local community.”

There’s one thing missing from this description. Added to the list should be “unashamedly partisan political coverage”.

That’s because the editor is Neil Hodgkinson, a person carrying so much political baggage that he must have trouble sleeping comfortably at night. Here’s a snapshot of this chap’s thinking, reported in the Press Gazette back in July 2004 when he was editor of the Yorkshire Evening Post.

“Editor Neil Hodgkinson said that The Evening Post has a policy not to publish any BNP statements or allow it right of reply.”

Just Google “Neil Hodgkinson and BNP” and there are many more pages about him and his anti-democratic stance against the BNP.

So my irritation at the inadequate reporting of our sensational result in Whitehaven is tempered by the fact that I know that Neil’s annoyance at having to pass a report for publication in his newspaper that wasn’t openly critical of the BNP “trumps” mine. In fact, I’m quite content with the understatement of the report, because it suits us very well at this time.

Expectation is the demon of politics and unfulfilled expectations demoralise Party campaigners more than anything else I know. I would much rather that we go on churning out solid and consistent results here in Cumbria and building up our voter base for the European Elections and the General Election, by ducking under the media’s radar.

And our votes in Cumbria have been quite spectacular over the past two years.

Average BNP vote in 2 Cumbria Council elections over the past 18 months: 25.5%.
Average BNP vote in 6 Allerdale Council elections over the past 18 months: 20.2%.
Average BNP vote in 3 Barrow Council elections over the past 18 months: 11.5%
Average vote in 15 Carlisle Council elections over the past 18 months: 15.5%
Average vote in 1 Copeland Council election over the past 18 months: 23.5%

In the run-up to June and the next round of County Council elections, our teams across Cumbria will be beavering away signing up new recruits and preparing our candidates for their campaigns. The face of politics in Cumbria is changing beyond recognition with former Labour voters deserting to the BNP every day, and whether a biased editor has a policy not to publish any BNP statements or allow it right of reply, will make no difference whatsoever.

Afghanistan Campaign “A Half-cocked Con”

From the desk of Identity editor, John Bean: Symbolic of the cut-cost approach of the Government when it comes to equipment for our armed forces, the Snatch Land Rover widely used in Iraq and then in Afghanistan has acquired the nickname among our soldiers of ‘mobile coffin’.

It was designed for peace-keeping missions and its thin-skinned armour will only withstand small arms fire, not roadside bombs, which in the past five years have killed more than 30 of our soldiers in Afghanistan.

Most notable of these were Cpl Sarah Bryant and three male SAS soldiers who were killed when a roadside bomb destroyed their Land Rover on June 17th this year.

On November 1st Major Sebastian Morley, the SAS reservist commander in Afghanistan resigned in protest on “chronic under investment “ in equipment generally supplied for our forces by the Ministry of Defence.

A week later Major Will Pike, who led a company of the 3rd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment in Helmand Province two years ago, said that our forces were sent into Helmand on a “half-cocked” campaign to “con” world opinion about the country’s military strength.

How right the Major is, for the BNP has consistently opposed the use of our armed forces in non-British interests in order for the Lib-Lab-Con parties to posture upon the world stage as the bringers of democracy, and the joys of global banksters, to the heathen nations. However, whilst our men and women are giving their lives in these dubious campaigns, they should at least have the very best equipment.

 

 

 

According to a Daily Telegraph report (10.11.08) Major Pike said “rival agencies” were being pursued in Afghanistan by different government departments while the forces on the ground were left with inadequate air cover and poor equipments such as the Snatch Land Rover. Having had a spell in Whitehall before leaving the Army, he thought it remained unclear whether the mission was being run by the MoD, the Foreign Office or (this is significant) the Department for International Development.

Saint Obama or Another Uncle Tom?

From the desk of Identity editor, John Bean: In the December issue of Identity we have stated that some radical right and nationalist commentators may be reading the situation wrongly when they believe that the massive support given to Barack Obama by young white American voters means that the United States is irrevocably destined to be subjected to multiracial rule.

The overwhelming majority of those liberal whites rarely mix with blacks beyond the campus gates of the colleges and universities, no more than their parents do who also voted for Obama and who mainly live in gated safe white areas, whether it is in multi-ethnic California or New York State.

Their vote was a protest against the policies of George W Bush and the economic meltdown with spiralling unemployment, and who can blame them? Fortunately for the Democrats they chose a candidate with charisma, intelligence and oratorical powers against which the 71-year-old war hero McCain’s sole weapon was his patriotism. Yet he still picked up 55% of the white vote to Obama’s 43%, plus 95% of the black vote and two thirds of Hispanic and Asian votes and 77% of Jewish votes.

Note also that in the traditional Southern States, which have the highest black population, the whites voted overwhelmingly for McCain, and with the exception of Virginia the States all remained Republican. Generally Obama did not play upon his ‘blackness’ (more on this later), but for those in the know the exceptional amount of time he spent in winning over Virginia showed that he was very much aware of it.

This was the former capital of the breakaway Southern Confederation and Obama knew that the symbolism of winning the State was in the same manner as Lincoln sending in black Federal troops when its Capital, Richmond, fell in June 1865.

How effective Obama can be as a president can only be seen with the passage of the next twelve months or so. But when America’s blacks in particular see that little has changed for them then he will no longer be regarded as Saint Obama but as another Uncle Tom. It really depends upon his backers, which include the remaining banks and finance houses of Wall Street. Much play was made of the two million or more small donations to Obama’s war chest via his excellent internet campaign, but more than half his record $650 million funding came from big business.

His appointment of Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff is interesting. Much of the global financial collapse can be traced to the granting of cheap mortgages to immigrants and poor blacks, with little chance of paying them back, by the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac. Emanuel served on its board of directors when scandal was first brewing.

According to a complaint filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Freddie Mac misreported profits by billions of dollars in order to deceive investors between the years 2000 and 2002, although Emanuel was not accused of being personally responsible for this. His father, Benjamin M. Emanuel, now living in Chicago, was an active member of “Irgun” or the Stern Gang fighting the then British rule in Palestine.

The BNP, whose website already has more visitors than all other UK political parties added together, can still learn much from the brilliant use of the internet by the Obama team. Its mastery of the internet as a campaigning tool was key to his victory. To give a few examples, as well as sending out millions of e-mails to potential Democrat voters, in particular first time voters, his team brought in the co-founder of Facebook, Chris Hughes, and created its own social networking site. This attracted over 1.5 million members who organised themselves into separate activists’ groups to ensure the election, if not the deification, of their idol.

Finally, one could not help noticing the joy upon the news announcers faces, both ITV as well as BBC, when after 48 hours devoted to the second coming they were able to announce that Lewis Hamilton, our “black” Formula One racing driver was now world champion – which he fully deserved. The point is that both Lewis Hamilton and Saint Obama have white mothers. Is this another form of racism disregarded by the liberal intelligentsia who apparently consider that only the black blood counts? I am not suggesting that we should return to Kiplingesque terminology of “half castes”, or even accusing the parents of having “warped biological instincts”, as was once fashionable, but surely “mixed race” would be more accurate?

British National Party on course for Euro-seats in June

TWO incredible performances from BNP candidates, just a week before Christmas, shows that the British National Party is in fine fettle after all the drama of the stolen membership list being ‘leaked’, and is well prepared to make 2009 the Year of the BNP.

In Whitehaven in Cumbria, Simon Nicholson came from nowhere to slash a Labour majority of over 1003 to just 16 votes. It’s a performance that even the hostile media are going to marvel at and further establishes the BNP as the main challenger to Labour in West Cumbria. Congratulations to Clive Jefferson and his hard-working team for achieving the Party’s best ever result in the county.

In Ibstock in North West Leicestershire, Ivan Hammonds was just 15 votes from victory as the Tories took the seat from Labour. It was another agonising evening for the brave BNP candidate who was only 64 votes from victory in January when Labour won the seat. Congratulations to Wayne McDermott and his team for achieving another great election result for the British National Party in the East Midlands.

Last night’s votes prove that the BNP is in great shape in two of its most important regions for the European Elections next June. In the North West and the East Midlands we need to poll around 9% of the vote to gain a seat in the European Parliament. Events yesterday evening show that we might just be on course to achieve that goal.

Two key council by-elections today

THERE are two very interesting council by-elections taking place today in Whitehaven in Cumbria, and Ibstock in North West Leicestershire.

It’s the final election day of a year that has been the most successful in the history of British Nationalism and two strong showings in these contests will provide a fitting end to 2008 for the British National Party.

In Whitehaven, the election is for Cumbria County Council in the Kells & Sandwith Ward. It is only the second time the BNP has contested an election in the town and the very first time in this ward.

Kells is a Labour stronghold with over a 1000 majority the last time the county council seat was contested. Both Labour and the Tories have brought up their ‘big-guns’ for the contest, with the Labour candidate a personal assistant to former MP Jack Cunningham, and the Tory candidate the wife of the prospective Conservative candidate for Copeland.

The British National Party’s candidate is 35 year-old Simon Nicholson, a father of four who served eight years in the King’s Own Border Regiment. He was born and has lived all his life in the ward.

Copeland BNP organiser Clive Jefferson, is very pleased with the way the campaign has gone and the hard work put in by his growing team of activists.

“When the other campaigners have gone home, we are still knocking on doors. I’m hopeful we can push the Tories into third place and reduce Labour’s massive majority,” he told the BNP website. 

The election in North West Leicestershire will be a much tighter affair with the four candidates pulling out all the stops in search of votes.

With BNP candidate Ivan Hammonds just 60-odd votes from victory in a by-election in this very ward at the beginning of the year, the Party is hopeful of a very strong showing. But as always happens when the British National Party is close to victory, the three old-gang parties have banded together in an effort to deter voters from supporting our candidate.

A third-party leaflet from the Labour Party front group ‘Unite Against Fascism‘ (sic) has this time been produced and funded by all three parties, and contains quotes from Tory and Lib-Dem local figures as well as Labour. It’s far superior to what the Labour Party thugs usually put out.

“It’s a close contest as we knew it would be,” says East Midlands Election Officer Wayne McDermott.

“It is a split Labour and Conservative ward in a marginal Labour parliamentary constituency. We have run a very professional campaign with on most occasions up to 15 activists out canvassing. But the Conservatives, Labour, and the Lib-Dems have all put in a huge effort to maximise their votes

“It’s a difficult election to call, and highly likely that the winner will have to poll over 30% . According to our canvas returns we will have to ensure that all our voters turn out today to be near to that figure.”

Mumbai massacre: We must heed the warning

NO matter how much the media tries to muddy the waters with its array of alleged culprits for the massacre in Mumbai, there is only one defining motivation behind the slaughter - Islamic expansionism.

Television reports have meticulously avoided using the word Islam or Muslim. Instead they have talked about the perpetrators being International terrorists, Al-Qaeda, Mujahideen, Taliban, Jihadists and Pakistan . . . almost as if they are frightened of revealing the truth about those who are responsible. All these have just one clear motivation, Islamic expansionism, and to enlighten the public as to what is going on, the media should be making the situation clearer, not confusing it more. The BBC in particular seems almost desperate to introduce an international element to the tragedy, linking it to its favourite scapegoat Al-Qaeda, the convenient deposit for all the misdeeds of Islam.

Muslims in India make up around 15% of the population and they are constantly pushing for more space and more self-determination from the Hindu majority. These attacks are behind that campaign and that is the important warning that Britain should be heeding from what has taken place in Mumbai.

In Britain, Muslims currently make up 5% of the population and that total is increasing every year. The Islamic lobby here, as in India, is pushing, pushing all the time for more self-determination and our weak-kneed Government gives in every time. To avoid what is happening in India we need to stem the growth of Islam in our country NOW.

We need to stop all immigration into Britain.
Send all illegal immigrants back to their own countries.
Send all migrant workers home.
Oppose all planning applications for new mosques, conversion of buildings into mosques and expansion to existing mosques.

But most importantly, we must encourage through financial incentives Muslims living in Britain legally, to move to an Islamic country where they will be able to celebrate their religion with other Muslims. Britain is a Christian country and if we wish to keep it that way and for our people to be able to live free from fear of attack from within, then we must take steps now to safeguard our future.

Tories Pander To The Muslim Vote

In the November issue of Identity I wrote that it is disheartening to see that although their lead has slipped the so-called ‘Conservative’ Party, which now conserves ever fewer British interests, still leads in the polls. This is at a time when they have failed to come up with any answer to the economic problems facing this country as thousands more lose their jobs every week, and they still manage to kid some of the electorate that they “will do something” about escalating immigration. On the economy we would recommend you to read Nick Griffin’s article this month, and the editorial on page 3.

We already have a good idea of how a future Tory Government would deal with immigration and the ethnic ‘minority’ community in the statements made by Cameron glossing over Muslim extremism and refusing to commit his party to any effective restrictions on immigration in general. His comments are best described by that rather basic term, “wind and piss”, particularly when one recalls his commitment on asylum seekers “to taking them to our hearts, and feeding and clothing and schooling them”.

Now his potential rival, the jolly London mayor Boris Johnson has said “I will carry on Livingstone’s work on diversity”. This was in an interview for the Muslim News.

Promising them to “celebrate the achievements of communities”, he said: “One thing I decided very early on was that the only way to run London is to support diversity and to recognise that you have got to be proactive and give encouragement and support to all communities.”

To the Muslim News’ concerns that festivals such as ‘Eid in the Square’, ‘Diwali in the Square’ and other faith base events would not be funded or supported under his regime, Boris was adamant that he was “totally behind that” and would “support that completely”.

Boris Johnson’s Policy Director in London is Anthony Browne, who in the past did not endear himself to Cameron when he showed a modicum of concern with the current rise in immigration. Now that’s all changed and he has suggested that illegal immigrants who have been living in Britain for seven years should be offered an amnesty, which would allow them to become residents and earn citizenship. And this is from a person who is considered to be on the “right” of the Conservative Party. When jovial Johnson was questioned in his interview with Muslim News about Browne having allegedly making critical comments about Islam, he went into pc overdrive saying Browne was “utterly committed to a glorious multiracial, multiethnic, multifaith London”.

Over in Wales the local Tories are keen to show the Londoners that they too know how to pander to the Muslim electorate. Nick Bourne, the leader of the Conservative Party in Wales has formed the Welsh Conservative Muslim Forum. Speaking at its inaugural meeting last month he made these enlightening comments.

“On his election as Leader, David Cameron promised to reach out to minority ethnic communities and to recognise the contribution immigrants have made to our prosperity and culture. And I am determined that we should do so in Wales as well.

“In many ways, Muslim values are Conservative values. We all believe in strong families, in enterprise, in self-reliance and in individual responsibility. I believe that diversity is a positive force and should not be a barrier to social cohesion.”

Britons foot the bill to keep power prices down in France and Germany

FOREIGN electricity companies are exploiting British households in order to protect their own country folk from rising prices.

Electricity bills in Britain have increased EIGHT times faster than in other major European countries because here our electricity is provided by the foreign firms who control our power supplies.

Electricity unit prices in Britain have risen by 15% in the 12 months to October 2008 whilst in France electricity bills have risen by just 5.5% over the same period - and that’s despite the fact that many British and French households are receiving their power from the same supplier, EDF.

A clue as to why might lie in what ‘EDF’ stands for - Electricite de France!

In Germany, households have paid just 1.7% more over the last year for electricity sold them by German firm RWE. Now that’s just one-eighth of the price rise the same German firm has demanded from of British families receiving their supplies from Npower, the British arm of RWE.

It is quite natural for French and German companies to want to put the welfare of their own people first, and in France there’s the additional safeguard of the Government regulating the prices that electricity companies can charge the French people.

What a contrast to here in Britain, where successive Labour and Tory Governments have stood by and allowed foreign firms to come here and exploit the British people, by aiding and abetting the privatisation of our power industry and its sell-off to companies overseas.

The British National Party believes that electricity, as well as gas, water, railways and other essential utilities and infrastructure should be taken back under the control of the British people. These services should be run solely for the welfare of British people and not for private profit or to keep energy prices low prices in France and Germany.

WHY DO THEY FEAR THE BNP SO MUCH?

All of the huge number of new visitors like you on this site right now are here because you are curious to find out the truth about the British National Party. You already know that we’re the most demonised and vilified party in British political history, the question is why?

Despite having a website which is more popular than all the other parties’ put together, despite taking seats from Labour, LibDem and Conservatives in equal measure, despite being the only party whose policies reflect the views of many millions of otherwise voiceless Brits, we never get a fair crack of the whip from the media. Whenever we do well all the other parties unite to attack us. Why?

Because for decades the old parties have made British politics into a cosy liberal closed shop. Oh yes, they argue about minor points like a penny on or off tax, they fight like hungry pigs to get their noses in the public trough, but on the important issues they are essentially three factions in a liberal one-party state.

• They all support a level of immigration that is turning our country into a foreign place.
• They all believe that it’s right to tax hard-working families to break-up in order to finance an army of overpaid, bleeding heart, meddlesome bureaucrats to help spongers live at your expense.
• They all support Britain being turned into a mere province of the European federal superstate, at a cost of £Billions and the destruction of our traditional freedoms and identity.
• They all tell us that they can’t interfere with ‘the markets’ when ordinary peoples’ jobs are exported to China or India, but agree to bail out the banks, rescuing a gang of crooks from the consequences of their own greed by swamping us all with a tidal wave of debt.
• They all believe that prisons should be places of last resort designed to ‘rehabilitate’ criminals who they see as ‘victims’ – they’ve created a country where criminals are pampered while pensioners have to chose whether to freeze to death or starve.

They and their friends in the media hate the BNP because we offer voters a real, democratic choice again.

• The BNP says that Britain is full and it’s time to shut the door and to kick out all immigrant criminals, bogus asylum seekers and anti-Western Islamists.
• The BNP would slash taxes by abolishing all Politically Correct bureaucracy and insisting that every able bodied person pays their way instead of expecting to sponge off the rest of us.
• The BNP would restore British freedom, independence and prosperity by getting out of the EU.
• The BNP believes that the banking system should serve productive industry and the real economy, rather than the other way round.
• The BNP would treat criminals as the anti-social vermin they are, and make deterrence and fair play for victims the fundamental aims of the criminal justice system.

As you’ll find out when you come back and visit this site when it’s not so flooded with new visitors, there’s a lot more to the old parties’ and media’ hatred of the BNP than these points, but they go a long way to explaining it.

We’re different, we’re straight-talking – we’re people, not politicians.

Euro Elections - North West Constituency

IN the excellent brochure produced for last weekend’s Annual Conference there were 16 pages dedicated to next year’s European Elections.

It was a briefing for delegates on the D’Hondt voting system, which is used for these elections, as well as the results the last time the elections were contested in 2004 and the changes that have taken place since then.

With the Conference having effectively launched our campaign for June 2009, it is worthwhile taking a closer look at the North West constituency in these elections where BNP chairman Nick Griffin, is our lead candidate and where many political pundits believe the British National Party has its best chance of success.

Nick will give the election in this constituency a certain celebrity status with the media spotlight focussing on the BNP’s high profile chairman, and while this will no doubt help our campaign, it will be the hard work by our election teams in the 43 local authorities that make up the North West Euro constituency which will in the end decide whether we win our first seat in Europe or not.

Back in 2004 we came agonisingly close to winning a seat - 31,727 votes short which was just 1.5% of the total vote. Unfortunately this time around, because of the new countries joining the European Union, Britain has lost a number of its seats in the European Parliament and in the North West we now have just eight up for grabs rather than the nine seats available in 2004. But thankfully, because of the nature of the D’Hondt voting system, that doesn’t make that much difference. It just means that that based on 2004 voting patterns we would need another 33,842 votes (1.6%) to take the last and eighth seat on offer.

But of course, the voting patterns next June will be very different from 2004 because of the collapse of the UK Independence Party which could mean that as much as 90% of UKIP vote will go elsewhere. While we will hope to pick up some of this, the lion’s share will go back to the Tories from where it came, and because the Tories took that 8th seat in 2004 this might raise the percentage needed to win that seat. However this might well be compensated by the fall in the Labour vote, which could once again drop the percentage needed to win the eighth seat back to around 8%.

A media black-out but we don’t care . . .

YOU would have thought that the Annual Conference of Britain’s fourth most popular political party would have warranted a report of a couple of lines at the very least even if in just one of our national newspapers.

But apparently it wasn’t newsworthy enough, and in years gone by I would have been desperately disappointed at this lack of coverage which would have left the public completely in the dark as to the event taking place. But today I’m not bothered by this deliberate media blackout - it can’t be anything else - because thanks to our website the conference was taken live into the homes of thousands of BNP supporters who didn’t come to Blackpool, and in the months to come any new visitors to our website will be able to see and hear the best speeches, debates and lectures from the Conference thanks to BNPtv.

Nick Griffin’s speech was topical and sharp, linking the recession to the public’s political awakening and realisation that only the British National Party can safeguard our people through these most difficult of times. I think the speech links well with the front page of the latest issue of Freedom which details how only an economy based on national interests, which directly protects the livelihoods of the British working people and the welfare of our most vulnerable and elderly, is the way forward.

The Conference was the best organised one that I’ve attended and that’s down to Micheala Mackensie whose experience and professionalism in this sphere has taken the Party’s political events to a new level over the past 12 months. The debate was also better than anything in previous years and the calibre of our delegates continues to impress. The future looks very, very good for the British National Party and barring any major setbacks, we must be on target for further electoral progress in 2009.

Media dilemma over BNP coverage

“If we get a national leaflet out in Dunnington, will we get coverage for it?”

That was the chairman of the Green Party in York commenting in a report in the York Press at the weekend. It’s a great quote and sums up the dilemma facing our opponents who try to use the media to denigrate and attack our Party. The full report is below:

York Press

Yesterday on my blog I discussed how Searchlight promotes the British National Party with the media by virtue of its attacks on us and so this is the same case here. Our opponents think by their critical quotes against us in this report that they will influence people away from supporting the BNP. But, of course, attacks on the BNP from Labour, the Tories and the Lib-Dems are just old hat so this is not the news that hits home to the reader. The news value, as underlined in the headline, is that the BNP have been out leafletting in a leafy village in York, and that is all most people will take on board from the article.

The bonus for York BNP is that they probably put out less than 500 leaflets in Dunnington, yet for that hour or so of leafletting, thanks to the York Press, news of the activity reached 30,000 people in York itself.

And this is why, at our stage of development, it is a win/win situation for the British National Party. Of course we would prefer things to be on a level playing field and that like the other political parties we can go about our campaigning without interference from ‘third parties’ at election time and negative reports in the media. But our opponents won’t allow us to do this. No, they prefer to oppose us at every turn, but now, even by doing this, they are helping to raise our profile.

These are difficult times and the British people are hurting. I believe that when many of them read in their newspapers about establishment politicians being “outraged” they are going to say “good!“. It’s the old gang parties that have brought this country to this shocking state of affairs and many people would be quite happy to see them uncomfortably “outraged” and will look sympathetically on the reason that had brought it about . . . in this case the British National Party.

Only the BNP will safeguard British jobs

AS THE latest unemployment figures depressingly indicate, British jobs are going to be at a premium over the next two years as today’s financial crisis turns into tomorrow’s economic recession.

We must safeguard all British jobs and ensure that they are only filled by British workers who are spending their wages in the British economy supporting their families here. Not migrant workers sending the money to dependents in Poland.

All migrants workers should be sent back to their own country and no more should be allowed in. But as long as Britain stays in the European Union, there is nothing that the Government can do to stop this influx of cheap labour from Eastern Europe. That is why the British National Party campaigns to take Britain out of the EU.

We face hard times ahead and to feed and look after our people we need to utilise all the resources we have at our disposal. We must strive for self-sufficiency in the food we produce and that means growing crops in our fields and not concreting them over to build houses for unwanted immigrants. We must also take back the waters around our shores so that British fishermen can once again provide fish for our tables rather than Spanish fishermen provide food for theirs.

We must invest in Britain’s manufacturing industry so that we make the goods that we need ourselves and don’t have to import them from abroad. We should ban all foreign imports and start building new factories and re-opening old ones so that we make the cars and the electrical goods ourselves that we currently buy in from overseas.

This will create new jobs for OUR people and will provide the wages that will keep families fed and warm during the approaching long, cold winter of recession.

The biggest crime of this Labour Government has been its policy of off-shoring British jobs to Asia and Eastern Europe. And what is equally criminal is that our trade unions have stood by and allowed this haemorrhaging of work from Britain. There has never been a more treacherous act than this from a Labour Government and its trade union backers.

The British National Party will not allow one British job to be sent overseas and firms that set up call-centres or factories in other countries will lose their right to operate in Britain.

The recession will hurt everyone and it’s the duty of a government to look after its own people during such hardship - and here in the UK that means safeguarding British jobs for British workers and puting the interests of the British people first.
