Stand by the BNP’s Lancashire Four — Your Help Is Needed
July 5, 2009 by BNP News
Filed under North West, Regional News
Your help is urgently needed to protect the rights of the British National Party’s ‘Lancashire Four’ who have been unjustly harassed by the state for distributing perfectly legal leaflets.
“We need people to call Blackburn police station and demand that they return the wrongfully seized private personal possessions of the four BNP members,” said Clive Jefferson, the BNP’s North West regional organiser.
The event dates back to November 2008, when the four East Lancashire members, Brian Parker, Lee Karmer, Robin Evans and Tony Bamber were arrested after delivering totally legal BNP literature to houses in the area.
“During these raids, intimidation and distress was levied, not just upon our four law-abiding members, but on their families including the shameful awakening and threats towards one member’s 11-month old baby son,” Mr Jefferson said.
“After several hours in police cells and arduous interviews, our members returned home to find that many items of their private property had been seized together with BNP property, mobile telephones and their computers,” he continued.
Initially released on bail to attend the police station again on 11 February 2009, the four men were told by police officers a week before that day that their next appearance would only take place on 16 March.
One week prior to this new date, the police again postponed bail until the 27 April. On 17 April, the police yet again postponed bail until 8 June.
Incredibly, the police called on the four men on 7 June and informed that bail had again been moved to 6 July.
“Only two days ago, the police have decided to cancel all the bail appointments bar one,” Mr Jefferson said.
“This is because the Crown Prosecution Service has stated that there is ‘currently insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction.’
“However, the case will be kept ‘under review’ and property seized may be kept for an indefinite period or until ‘further evidence becomes available’,” Mr Jefferson said, quoting the official police notification.
“This is outrageous. Mr Evans has had his business ruined as all contact details are on his phones and computers. Mr Parker is an elected councillor and all his case work is on his computer. By withholding their private property in this manner when the CPS has already advised them that there is no case to answer, the police are engaging in vindictiveness and nothing else,” Mr Jefferson said.
“The police should remember that the BNP is now an elected party to the highest level of European government and we are not going to accept their bullying. I will be going to Blackburn police station with Mr Evans to demand the return of their private property, but in the interim we need all members of the public who are concerned about this gross abuse of human rights to call Blackburn police station on (01254) 51212.
“Let them politely know what you think of their police state fascist bully boy tactics and demand that they return the private property of the individuals they have persecuted. Please also demand a reference number for your call, so that they are forced to take note of how many people have called,” Mr Jefferson said.
In addition, people can email The Lancashire Evening Post by clicking here and telling them about this ongoing scandal, he concluded.
North West BNP Flexes Its New-Found Muscles

The British National Party is hard at work building its organisation in the North West following its electoral success in the region, reports regional organiser Clive Jefferson.
“I have appointed four new organisers this week alone,” Mr Jefferson said. “We have a big regional council meeting approaching and it is becoming very clear that far from being exhausted and in need of rest our activists and officials are chomping at the bit,” he said.
The historic breakthrough in the European elections was a huge leap forward and far greater than the party anticipated, he continued. “We have been viewing property all week and are now in contract negotiations to set up the first BNP offices for our MEP,” Mr Jefferson continued.
“These are exciting times. I can tell you that, far from being problematic, companies are actively competing for our contracts. We intend to have multiple bases in the North West for our constituency work. These bases will revolutionise our operations in the north of England.”
Mr Jefferson said the biggest eye-opener of recent developments had been the realisation of precisely how much a David and Goliath struggle the BNP had engaged in against the old gang parties.
“As we see exactly what goes into setting up one MEP constituency office, we have realised that the old parties had 78 of these MEP support structures and in excess of 600 MP offices and support staff to range against us,” he said.
“In addition, they have council offices and associated staff and all the finance and resources which comes with these posts. In spite of all of that, we have been taking them on. They have been able to put a miniature army of MPs, MEPs their parliamentary secretaries, district and county councillors, bussed in from all over the place to fight us, a group of volunteers driven only by a love of our country.
“In spite of that, the game has changed. Everything was poured into the North West to stop us, and they failed. Now they never will. The battle has been fought and we have won. Minor skirmishes will, of course, take place but never again will the extremist left be able to mount such a sustained and expensive assault on democracy,” Mr Jefferson said.
“Our time has come, and from here, we build. Watch out for exciting news from the North West over the next few weeks.”
South East BNP Regional Council Holds First Planning Meeting for 2010 Elections

Filed under Regional News, South East
The British National Party’s South East Regional Council has completed its first pre-general election planning meeting with key personnel hearing of the planned strategy and aims the party will be using to maximise the Euro election successes in the 2010 elections.
All organisers were informed that candidates for local elections should be in place several months in advance and that all candidates were required to attend the regional training sessions.
Organisers were also informed that the party in the South East is rolling out a comprehensive training programme where qualified computer operators will teach the correct way to use programmes such as Excel and how to do mail merges.
“These will be compulsory to ensure that we are up to the challenges we face with the recent expansion the party has undergone,” regional organiser Andy McBride told the meeting.
“As we move forward and become more mainstream, we have to ensure that we meet the professional standards that our members and the general public expect.”
Mr McBride also reported on his recent visit to the party’s call centre. “This call centre is achieving great things for the BNP,” he said. “It is financially sound and the staff very well trained. I was amazed to see how quickly the staff in the call centre could convert a cold caller into a member, and the terrifically high targets they achieved on a daily basis. I witnessed true commitment to the hard tasks that were set, and was impressed with the level of professionalism within the unit.”
“Now we must move on, prepared for what shall face us in the coming year. Hard work and commitment will bring its rewards, but only if we work as a united team. We shall see victories and defeats, but whatever the outcome, we can hold our heads high in the knowledge that we proud and honest patriots have achieved much because the driving force behind us all is the love of our country,” Mr McBride concluded.
* Hastings organiser Mr Nick Prince was promoted to Regional Delegated Nominating Officer after his outstanding work achieved during the European elections.
Terry Lewin Appointed New BNP Black Country Organiser

Filed under Regional News, West Midlands
Long-time British National Party superactivist Terry Lewin has been appointed new Black Country organiser, replacing the nearly superhuman Ken Griffiths who has stepped down for health and personal reasons, reports correspondent John Salvage.
“As with all walks of life, people bring different personalities and traits with them to the table. Terry Lewin is an activist of merit and calm determination,” Mr Salvage said.
“As a quiet and hard-working man, Mr Lewin has been invaluable in terms of dedicated activism in numerous campaigns.”
The first event under Mr Lewin’s control will be directing a team to help out Councillor Martyn Findley’s campaign in Nuneaton this weekend, topped off by an important regional meeting on Sunday.
Mr Salvage also paid tribute to Mr Griffiths, who stepped down after a recent medical operation and trying personal circumstances.
“He took over the role after a very trying and treasonous time in the Black Country which very nearly derailed the party locally,” Mr Salvage said. “It is due to Mr Griffith’s commitment - personally, financially and otherwise - that the branch was rescued and is now one of the leading activist groups in the West Midlands.
“Handling the inevitable ups and downs of running a lively branch, Mr Griffith’s bubbly and humorous manner ensured he was in demand from Cannock to Birmingham as a guest speaker.
In addition, he directed events brilliantly and took on our political enemies and the media with gusto and the loyal backing of his branch activists.
“We all now wish him the very best of British. We hope to see Mr Griffiths regularly at meetings and certain activities in the coming months, health permitting.”
The Mass Media Is Our Main Enemy, Cllr Paul Golding Tells Crawley BNP
June 30, 2009 by BNP News
Filed under Regional News, South East
The mass media is the British National Party’s main enemy and it is the party’s aim to immunise the public against their vicious lies, Councillor Paul Golding said.
Speaking at the latest BNP Crawley branch meeting, attended by an enthusiastic crowd of over 40 people, Cllr Golding announced a new campaign to achieve the immunisation goal.
“We need to get to the point where enough people in this country don’t believe a word the media states,” Cllr Golding, the South East’s first elected councillor, said.
“We need to immunise our people against media smears by saturating the country with strident anti-media material. We have to destroy the trust that people still have in the media. Although it will take a long time and much hard work, we have to start now,” he said.
“From now on, we are going to make the mass media our main opponent. We need to get out there and tell everyone the truth about the media, which in reality is a propaganda machine, not a news service.”
Cllr Golding then outlined the past successes of Operation Fightback in fighting back against the lying media and of how this was going to be turned into a long-term campaign against the mass media.
The meeting, chaired by local BNP stalwart and organiser Richard Trower, drew an enthusiastic response when recent election results were detailed during the first half of the meeting.
Manchester’s Freedom of Misinformation
June 29, 2009 by northwestnews
Filed under North West, Regional News
By Derek Adams. Following a tip off from a whistleblower within Manchester city council, information was provided to Derek Adams regarding a scandalous situation in the Blackley and Charlestown areas of Manchester.
It was reported that, out of approximately 450 vacant council houses in these areas, almost all of them were being allocated either to families from abroad or ethnic minorities.
This sort of gerrymandering would reflect Manchester city council’s anger at the BNP successes in these areas and it would also highlight their attempts to install voters who would vote against the BNP at the next elections.
When this tip off was first received in late January 2009, Derek attempted to confirm the situation with Manchester city council using the Freedom of Information act. He asked;
1) How many people are currently on the housing waiting list in Blackley and Charlestown wards?
2) How many people on the housing waiting list in Blackley and Charlestown wards were British or born in the United Kingdom?
The council have a duty to respond to Freedom of Information Act requests within twenty working days, however after many phone calls and threats of further action, a reply was eventually received on the 24th June, which was an amazing four months and three days after the request was first submitted.
The reply was quite predictable of course; in answer to point 1) of the request, the figure was 430 people on the waiting list, which corresponds reasonably closely with our whistleblower’s estimate.
On point 2), the request as to how many people on the waiting list were British or born in the United Kingdom, according to a certain Mark Slater (head of the housing information unit) they do not hold this information.
We at the British National Party find it hard to believe, considering the questions that are asked in all forms sent out by councils nowadays, that things as basic as nationality and country of birth are not questions asked by Manchester housing.
If, of course, this information is in fact true, and they really do not know the nationality of people on their housing waiting list, then this situation is even more worrying than their attempts at gerrymandering.
They could indeed have known terrorists or international criminals waiting to move into our area and neither the council nor their prospective new neighbours would be any the wiser.
Indeed for such a dictatorial and fascist council as Labour-controlled Manchester, the lack of such knowledge would surely be unthinkable.
They need such information in order to provide things such as locally based interpreters, Hal-Al meat supplies for local schools and all the various ethnic leisure facilities that are in abundance in other ethnically enriched areas of the city.
We at the BNP suspect that they do indeed know precisely what nationality everyone on their housing list is, and that they may also hold a lot more information on every one of us than they would care to admit.
We also believe that Manchester City Council might be deliberately withholding a full and frank reply to our request because it is such a sensitive subject and one that the existing residents of Blackley and Charlestown deserve to be kept informed about.
It would also confirm that our whistleblower is indeed telling the truth.
BNP Will Fight Glasgow NE Westminster By-Election
June 29, 2009 by BNP News
Filed under Regional News, Scotland
The British National Party in Scotland will be fighting the Glasgow North East by-election with candidate Charlie Baillie (pictured), announced the party’s leader in Scotland, Gary Raikes.
“Glasgow NE is a solidly white working class area, formerly supported by the worldwide export of the steam locomotive industry, having its roots in Springburn,” said Mr Raikes.
“Due to the demise of this era there is currently deprivation and unemployment of a high level. This has been aggravated by the influx of immigrants from the Third World and the EU adversely affecting housing allocation and job prospects for the native Glaswegian residents.
“Indeed, Glasgow has been described as the ‘asylum capital of Britain’ due to the destructive dispersal policy embraced by the Labour Council,” he said.
Mr Raikes said the BNP in Glasgow was starting from a small base but that this would not deter the party from going forward. “We have to start somewhere, and we will be looking to build on the 3,258 votes we polled there the last time we stood.”
The BNP’s candidate, Mr Charlie Baillie, was born and spent his childhood in the constituency. He has been a party member since 2005 and stood in the Holyrood 2007 Campaign and in two council by-elections. He was also the BNP’s number two candidate on the Scottish Euro list.
North West regional organiser Clive Jefferson will be managing the campaign.
* A large number of people attended the recent BNP officials’ meeting in Perth, Mr Raikes said.
“I was happy to report to the meeting that the second phase of our restructuring process had seen a new surge of interest in the party. We are now processing a huge number of enquiries and have the highest number of paid up members in the party’s history in Scotland.”
Mr Raikes also revealed the new Scottish local organisers pack and the new quarterly Scottish newsletter, The Bugle.
The Bugle will go out to all members and around 1000 enquirers along with a copy of the latest Voice of Freedom, a membership form and standing order form.
“All agreed this was a professional undertaking that would hopefully produce the number of officials needed to ensure an official BNP presence in every local Authority area in Scotland, with the aim of having target wards being worked in each by the 2011 elections,” Mr Raikes said.
Largest Ever Wigan and Leigh BNP Meeting
June 27, 2009 by BNP News
Filed under North West, Regional News
Report by Dr Charles Mather — The largest ever British National Party meeting in Wigan and Leigh Group was held last Thursday when an audience in excess of 130 people packed out a brand new venue in Hindley Green.
The packed venue kicked off with awards to local activists for their hard work in the run-up to the European elections, where the increase in votes helped secure a Euro parliamentary seat for Nick Griffin.
A joint award for best leaflet distributor was given to Tony Grime and Chris Boland, while the award for best cyber activist was given to Henry Morgan, who also supervised all the sealing of ballot boxes.
The best local activist award was given to Gary Chadwick for organising the Wigan and Leigh groups into a coherent unit and for his work in ensuring the party’s regional popularity through clever campaigning on local issues.
The highly prized shield for best all round activist was won by Ken Haslam for his work in gaining new members, leafleting and sales of the Voice of Freedom newspaper.
First speaker was local activist Leila Bentham who in her first public speech provided an important overview of the importance of nationalism. Ms Bentham pointed out the differences between civic nationalism and ethno-nationalism, saying that the single most important factor which bound any nation together was its sense of national identity.
This was followed by our main speaker Arthur Kemp, who gave a rousing speech explaining the dangers Britain faced on all fronts, from mass immigration to the destruction of our industries and the selling off of our national assets.
“The two BNP MEPs are only the start of our progress,” Mr Kemp said. “There is much work to be done and we must not rest on our laurels. The British public is coming increasingly round to our way of thinking, and it is no coincidence that the media’s hatred and lies have increased since the election, as they know that the end time for the old parties is coming.”
A question and answer session which lasted until well after 11 pm followed, which was an indication of the enthusiasm and interest shown. Since the election, Wigan and Leigh BNP group have taken 173 new enquiries about joining the party, and several new people were signed up on the night.
The collection, raffle and merchandise sales raised just over £320 for party funds.
Native British are being Ethnically-Cleansed out of their own country, Says Cllr Paul Golding
June 26, 2009 by BNP News
Filed under BNP Party News, Regional News, West Midlands
At a packed meeting of Solihull British National Party in the West Midlands, Cllr Paul Golding of the BNP’s Campaigns Department announced a forthcoming campaign to highlight the growing number of cases of white British families who have been forced out of areas that, thanks to immigration, have become predominantly ethnic.
At the meeting, chaired by local organiser Andrew Terry and attended by around 40 local members and activists, Cllr Golding gave a detailed outline of a shocking case that has come to light on a sink estate in South East London, where a local British family has been subjected to a terrible catalogue of anti-social and racial abuse at the hands of a black street gang, and where the politically correct local authorities and police don’t seem interested.
“All over the country, whether extremist Muslims in northern towns or black street gangs in the slum estates of London in the south, our own people are facing what amounts to a campaign of ethnic-cleansing in areas that have literally been ‘taken over’ by immigrants,” he said.
“These cases that are coming to light, which at the moment are but a trickle, highlight a growing problem that will only get worse with time. These British victims of multiculturalism have no one else to stand up for them. The Lib-Lab-Con, the police, local councils - no-one is interested in their plight - except the BNP.”
The BNP’s top elected politicians will soon be lobbying on behalf of the victim families of multicultural Britain. More details in due course.

BNP’s Reverend West Will Be Candidate in Norwich North By-Election

Filed under East Midlands, Regional News, South East
The by-election caused by the resignation of disgraced Labour back-bencher Ian Gibson will be contested by Reverend Robert West for the British National Party, it has been confirmed.
Speaking to BNP News, Reverend West said he was delighted to take up the party’s banner once again after having been its lead candidate in the East Midlands Euro region, where he amassed an impressive 106,319 votes.
* Reverend West was guest of honour at this month’s Bracknell and Wokingham BNP group meeting, reports councillor Mark Burke, our South East correspondent.
“The reverend lost no time in developing his traditional themes of society and its present ills and what the party can and will do about it when in power,” Cllr Burke said.
“At a packed meeting the members were reminded of the many wrongs inflicted on a long-suffering UK and that if the people themselves did not react accordingly, then the country as a whole would suffer.”
A lively question and answer session followed his well-received speech and a good collection was taken. The meeting was filmed and a clip will be available shortly on the BNP TV website.
An in-depth interview with the Reverend West was also conducted the next day which will be the feature of the forthcoming FSID disk available in July, Cllr Burke added.
BNP Membership: Nick Griffin Rejects Equalities Commission ‘PR Stunt’
June 23, 2009 by BNP News
Filed under BNP Party News, Regional News
The Equalities Commission hysteria over British National Party membership is nothing but a PR stunt which has no legal grounding whatsoever, said BNP leader Nick Griffin MEP.
Reacting to the news that the Equality and Human Rights Commission, headed up by black arch-racist Trevor Phillips, had written to the BNP demanding that it change its membership and employment criteria, Mr Griffin said it was obvious that the whole thing was just a publicity stunt engineered by the far left and Labour Party front organisations.
“It is all a bit of liberal hysteria couched in legal terms,” Mr Griffin told BNP News. “The fact that the letter was served on us through the mass media shows that it is actually not legal in intent at all.”
Mr Griffin said the BNP was an exempted organisation under Section 25 and Section 26 of the Race Relations Act which allow for exclusive ethnic organisations with a membership of 50 or more. “The BNP has never been in breach of any of the provisions of the law in terms of its membership and Mr Phillips knows this to be the case,” he said.
“It is a ridiculous PR stunt by Mr Phillips, who is yet another unelected member of the Labour Party who has been promoted beyond his capacity, just like his good friend Mr Peter Mandelson.
“Furthermore, Mr Phillips and the EHRC are on record as being utterly biased in favour of non-indigenous British groups and against the BNP,” Mr Griffin continued.
“Last year in May, for example, Mr Phillips told the Scottish Trade Union Congress that the ‘BNP should be treated as less than human.’ Anyone who suggests that the EHRC has an objective view on the BNP should have their head examined,” he said.
“In contrast, the BNP has a mandate from nearly a million British people who voted for us on June 4th. That is a real mandate, and we reject the EHRC’s grandstanding. We note that Mr Phillips refused to even comment on a ‘black children only’ school programme which specifically discriminated against white kids despite receiving direct funding from the government.
“Furthermore, it has not missed anyone’s attention that the EHRC’s staff is overwhelmingly of non-British origin. When it is considered that this organisation receives £70 million in public funds - more than the foreign aid budget to Zimbabwe - then it can be seen that the EHRC itself is open to question in terms of its objectivity and legality,” Mr Griffin continued.
“The EHRC has never objected to the thousands of organisations in receipt of public funding which exist solely for the interests of non-indigenous groups, such as Bangladeshis, Afghans or Somalis. Somehow the EHRC and Mr Phillips only spring into action when someone dares to speak up for the English, the Scots, the Irish and the Welsh people of Britain.
“Mr Phillips is on record has having had a bust of Lenin on his desk and that should tell us all that we need to know about this vile anti-British organisation which he heads up at a huge salary,” Mr Griffin said.
“Nonetheless, we are taking this neo-Marxist assault seriously, and have already obtained the best possible legal advice. We will be responding to the EHRC’s impertinent and bullying letter in due course.
“We will also be asking them to explain their grotesque failure to address extremely serious problems such as the black rape gangs scandal which was highlighted with unusual courage and lack of self-censorship by Channel 4 last night.”
* Some facts about the EHRC:
- Despite rising unemployment and a 22 percent poverty level, the government has seen fit to spend a further £70 million on its ‘Race Gestapo’ police, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).
- The cost of the Government’s anti-discrimination watchdog has grown from £22.5 million in 2008 to £70 million in 2009, with salaries for its staff soaring by an inflation-defying 25 percent.
- Staff received an average increase of around £9,000, taking their average salary to £45,920. In 2008/09 - its first full year of operation - it was given a £70 million budget.
- The EHRC was created when the Equal Opportunities Commission, the Commission for Racial Equality and the Disability Rights Commission were merged in October 2007. Even though the Tories are now bleating about the cost of the EHRC, the reality is that they fully supported the creation of the CRE, and its first director was a Conservative MP, David Lane.
- The budget for those three groups in the last year of their existence was £47.5 million. The commission has 514 workers, with projected staff costs for 2008/9 of £23 million.
- The EHRC has become little more than an anti-white lobbying body, with its head, Trevor Philips, continuously refusing to comment on a ‘black children only’ school programme which specifically discriminated against white kids despite receiving direct funding from the government.
- The EHRC has also been criticised for having a disproportionate number of non-indigenous personnel on its staff, again raising the question of whether or not the organisation is really promoting genuine equality, or simply lobbying for ‘minority’ groups.
- In 2008 it was revealed that a private company co-founded by Phillips and in which he owns 70 percent of the shares, the Equate Organisation, had been employed by Channel 4 following the race row involving Shilpa Shetty and Jade Goody during the May 2007 series of Celebrity Big Brother. The undisclosed sum paid by C4 to Phillips and the Commission’s assertion that “Trevor has gone through all the correct processes of declaring his interests, so there is no conflict” provoked widespread criticism.
- According to The Times, 29th May 2003, p. 8… “Trevor Phillips, the head of the Campaign for Racial Equality, has revealed in the Irish Post why a bust of Lenin sits on his desk. ‘It’s there as a reminder. . . Just because the Soviet experiment failed, we should not throw everything Lenin did out the window’.”
BNP Activism in Nuneaton Continues as Party Celebrates Victory
June 22, 2009 by BNP News
Filed under Regional News, West Midlands
While many British National Party members were celebrating the election victory of the party’s two Members of European Parliament in Blackpool this past weekend, others were out canvassing and leafleting once again.
The ever hardworking Black Country BNP team under the leadership of councillor Russ Green put aside their plans to attend the victory rally in Blackpool to respond to a call for help from equally hardworking Nuneaton BNP councillor Martyn Findley to prepare a campaign in that town.
The by-election - which follows the ejection of the sitting Tory mayor in disgrace after he was revealed to have knowingly broken electoral rules - has not yet had its date set, but will take place soon, reports Black Country correspondent John Salvage.
“Councillor Findley has an excellent reputation locally and has thrown himself into the fray,” Mr Salvage said.
“We were going to go to Blackpool but after being asked to help out with what Councillor Findley calls a ‘winnable’ election, we decided that another potential BNP victory pulled at our heartstrings just as much as the victory celebrations of our two MEPs,” he said.
As a result, the Black Country Team diverted to Nuneaton to help out with leafleting and canvassing on Saturday 20 June.
“One of the biggest problems for local residents is the threat of 15,000 new homes earmarked for the area,” Mr Salvage said. “If this happens, an ancient stretch of green belt, with trees, open field pastures and hedgerows going back to the fifteenth century will be completely destroyed, all with the smug nod from the so-called ‘Conservative’ party.”
This issue is close to the hearts of many in the area and will form an important part of the campaign, he reported.
“Thanks must go to Terry Lewin who provided the transport and helped out leafleting even though he had an injured leg,” Mr Salvage said.
BNP Leader Urges Action on British Worker Strikes
June 22, 2009 by BNP News
Filed under BNP Party News, Regional News
During any period of economic hardship it is one of the first jobs of a government to safeguard and protect the jobs of its workers. All nations are entitled to put their own people first - and ours is no exception,” British National Party leader Nick Griffin MEP has said in a mass email to supporters this afternoon.
“However, the treacherous media and political establishment - which includes all the old parties and the trade unions - are doing all they possibly can to turn over jobs which belong to native British workers to provide employment for a never-ending flood of foreign migrants,” Mr Griffin said.
“This is mainly happening for two reasons: Big business is hungry for the flood of cheap foreign labour. Migrants are prepared to work for far less than the average British worker. This flood of ‘cheap’ imported labour forces down wages and maximises big business profits. As big business and the old parties of Lib-Lab-Con are locked in an intertwined relationship, it is hardly surprising that they are all fanatically pro-immigration. In return for their support, big business provides a constant source of financial nourishment for the old parties.
“The entire media and political establishment in this country is committed to transforming Britain from a homogenous European nation state into a multiracial, multicultural melting pot. Massive amounts of immigration from the Third World is required for this quasi-Marxist multicultural ‘paradise’ to become reality.
Immigration is therefore encouraged for these two reasons - an ideological commitment on the part of the political and media class, and a profit motive for big business. “This process is permitted, encouraged and nourished by Britain’s lavish welfare state. The media, the trade unions and the politicians are all supporters of the immigration racket - and they are all opposed to protecting the jobs of native British workers.
“Untold numbers of British workers have lost their jobs to foreigners. Rather than intervene to help their own people, the trade unions and the politicians do all they can to undermine resistance to the flood of foreign migrants which is putting vast numbers of our own people on the dole.
“The news that hundreds of British workers at the Lindsey Refinery have been sacked by Total is a disgrace when it is considered that Total employs imported foreign workers in the place of local people who are well-qualified for those jobs. Rather than help, the trade unions of Unite and GMB have turned their backs on their own workers!
The only political party in Britain that is opposed to the immigration racket and its devastating effect on British jobs is the British National Party. We are poised to throw the entire weight of our campaigning machinery into action in support of striking British workers. We, unlike the unions and Lib-Lab-Con, will stand by our own people no matter what the cost. For decades we have had a simple slogan explaining our position: BRITISH JOBS FOR BRITISH WORKERS!
“Tomorrow it could be your job that is taken by a foreigner. Then you will join the legions of British workers from all backgrounds who have lost out because of the Lib-Lab-Con, media and big business immigration racket. Things can only get worse unless we stick together and do something about it!
“Here are some simple ways to help fight our campaign:
“Send out a text message to your entire address book: BOYCOTT TOTAL GARAGES - DON’T PAY THEM WHILE THEY SACK BRITISH WORKERS AND REPLACE THEM WITH FOREIGNERS. DEMAND BRITISH JOBS FOR BRITISH WORKERS.
“Download and print off copies of our BRITISH JOBS FOR BRITISH WORKERS leaflet - distribute this as far and as wide as possible, especially if you live close to the sites of any of the strikes.
“Complain to Total UK - CLICK HERE to send a complaint email, or ring 0870 241 4337.
“Forward this to everyone in your address book and ask them to do the same.
“The British National Party will not relent with this campaign because we are the only political party that puts British workers first in their own country - all the old parties are the same and they are all to blame!
“Get involved, put in the extra effort - or it could soon be your job on the line! Enough is enough. This is our country - the fight back starts today!” Mr Griffin said.
BNP Leader Reiterates Position on Belfast Gypsy Incident
June 19, 2009 by BNP News
Filed under BNP Party News, Regional News
The sickening wave of racist violence directed at the newly arrived Romanian Gypsy migrants in Belfast has drawn universal condemnation from all quarters, including the British National Party, said party leader Nick Griffin in a special mass email sent out last night.
“The BNP wishes to state publicly that it considers the mindless violence in Ulster as reprehensible and futile, and wishes to make it crystal clear to all that we have nothing whatsoever to do with the ongoing attacks against the Romanians, regardless of the claims of various political and media commentators,” Mr Griffin wrote.
“The BNP demands that the police in Belfast arrest the criminals behind these attacks and bring them to justice. We also wish to make it clear that the BNP has not been involved with the troubles in any capacity whatsoever. The media, always on the lookout to smear the BNP in any way possible, has been desperately trying to incriminate the party in this wave of violence. We state categorically that this claim is nothing but a pathetic lie of the liberal-left media.
“Blaming the BNP is attractive to media liars and head-in-the-sand politicians who refuse to address the genuine problems caused in working class communities by irresponsible mass immigration.
“But the truth of the matter is that as long as multiculturalism and uncontrolled mass immigration continues to be official policy, we will continue to see inter-communal violence and bloodshed like recently in Belfast. The race riots on the British mainland and the Belfast attacks are, unfortunately, the tip of the multicultural iceberg,” Mr Griffin continued.
“To the brainwashed liberal-left multiracial fanatics of the media and the main parties, any failings in the so-called ‘multiracial society’ must be the work of the BNP.
“We call on the establishment politicians to carefully consider their policies on immigration, social affairs and politically correct policing. These policies undermine the stability of parts of Belfast and Ulster which can ill afford these added strains in the light of that region’s history.
“Ulster has suffered greatly over the years and to see sectarianism replaced by racism would not only be a tragedy but would be the fault of politicians and community leaders who refuse to see the truth,” Mr Griffin concluded.

Labour’s Racist Thugs and Paedophiles Receive Their Just Deserts
June 16, 2009 by northwestnews
Filed under North West, Regional News
The Euro-election campaign in the North-West has distracted media attention from the jailing of two former Labour councillors in the region for separate offences in recent weeks.
Former Labour councillor Noel O’Brien was jailed last week for a racist attack on a Polish woman traffic warden. O’Brien was told by district judge Paul Richardson he had been convicted of a ‘very ugly’ offence - made worse by racial abuse.
Jailing the Labour thug for 28 days at Manchester magistrates’ court, the judge said: “It was unpleasant and caused a lot of emotional upset.” O’Brien, 58, a former Blackburn College lecturer, had pushed traffic warden Joanna Subocz after she caught him parking illegally in a suspended bay in Manchester city centre. After swearing and calling her a ‘Polish bitch’ he snatched her hat and threw it into the road.
The court heard that the former Labour councillor for Haslingden, Lancs, had previous convictions for public order offences and had been given a 14-day sentence for assault only last November.
As he was led out of the dock O’Brien shouted to the judge: “I’m a better man than you are. I love you judge.” He then mouthed an obscenity. O’Brien was also convicted of making homophobic remarks to the police communications operator and fined £250 plus £250 costs.
The O’Brien case came only a few weeks after the jailing of another Labour Councillor, Joe Shaw, for child pornography and firearms offences. Shaw - who was arrested while on official duties at Wigan Town Hall - was found to have downloaded almost 2,000 images of child pornography and had a gun and ammunition in his safe at home. Liverpool Crown Court heard that Shaw had been a Labour councillor for Wigan West for three years and was also a member of the Greater Manchester Transport Authority.
Sentencing Shaw to six years in prison, Judge Swift told the Labour councillor that the indecent images involved the exploitation of children, “some very young indeed.” The children had been subjected to “degrading and sickening experiences”, said the judge.
It is, of course, a great relief that these two Labour criminals have received their just deserts, but the MPs expenses scandal has raised the question of just how many other Labour criminals, who should be behind bars, are still walking the streets.
Victory for the BNP; Humiliation for the Manchester Evening News
June 16, 2009 by northwestnews
Filed under North West, Regional News
Since Nick Griffin’s election to the European Parliament, the correspondence column of the Manchester Evening News (MEN) has been full to the brim with readers’ letters, angrily blaming the MEN (locally referred to as the “Manchester Evening Lies”) for the British National Party’s electoral breakthrough. These angry MEN readers have a point. The Manchester Evening News’ overt campaign against Nick Griffin and the British National Party has indeed backfired spectacularly against the bargain basement rag.
There was nothing subtle, nuanced or sophisticated about the MEN’s pre-election assault on the BNP. It opened two weeks before the Euro poll with a full front page picture of Nick Griffin, complete with BNP logo and a headline which rather implausibly trumpeted “The Truth about the BNP”.
As the British National Party’s election campaign gathered momentum, so the Manchester Evening News’ risible rants against the BNP grew increasingly wild and desperate.
The MEN wheeled out a bizarre list of “stars” to abuse the BNP. The line up of anti-BNP “celebrities” included such notable worthies as former Stone Roses “legend” Ian Brown, who was once jailed for four months for threatening to chop off the hands of an airline stewardess.
Lurid letters appeared in the MEN’s letters column reprising hoary old discredited lies about the BNP, and any balancing letters from BNP supporters were rigorously excluded.
Day after day, the MEN newspaper patronised, hectored and lectured its dwindling band of long-suffering readers, loftily ordering them not to vote for Nick Griffin.
At first it seemed that the MEN’s extraordinary onslaught might be having an effect, but during the last week of the election campaign, it became clear that something quite remarkable was happening.
In small groups at first, but in increasing numbers and with growing vociferousness, voters on the doorsteps of Manchester started to declare that they would vote BNP precisely because of the Manchester Evening News’ behaviour. The admirable and cussed bulldog spirit of the British people had at last started to assert itself. Mancunians strongly resent being lectured to and told what do, especially by a tatty rag with cheap, smeared print which is tolerated only because it includes a convenient TV listing.
The Manchester Evening News’ essential problem is that it purports to serve the whole of Greater Manchester, including pro-BNP white working class estates, but the editorial values of the MEN reflect the lentil and bean-eating multicult lifestyle of the media glitterati who infest the gleaming ivory towers of Manchester city centre.
That basic contradiction is at the root of the Manchester Evening News’ descending spiral of failure. Once upon a time, readers were prepared to pay good money for their copy of the MEN, now vast numbers of MEN comics can scarcely be given away. Indeed, the MEN’s parent company, GMG Regional Media, have recently been forced to cut hundreds of local newspaper jobs in Greater Manchester.
Ironically, the journalistic job cuts aroused the ire of local NUJ Union Official and “UAF” activist Jenny Lennox, who summarised GMG’s behaviour admirably “They are showing total contempt for the communities that have been the heartland of their business“, said Ms Lennox, in a sentiment wholeheartedly endorsed by local BNP activists.
Paul Horrocks, the editor of the Manchester Evening News has now been forced to respond to the avalanche of hostile correspondence with a hand-wringing defence of his failed anti-BNP campaign. “We thought long and hard about taking the stand we did and we knew we would be accused of telling people how to vote. We thought it was a risk worth taking…“, he protested to his irate readers.
Of course, the editor of the Manchester Evening News ill-deserves our sympathy, but following the BNP’s famous victory in the North-West, it really is hard not to feel sorry for the poor chap!

BNP’s North West Regional Organiser Thanks His Activists
June 15, 2009 by BNP News
Filed under North West, Regional News

Report by Clive Jefferson, North West British National Party regional organiser - Well, my friends, I have rested, and then rested a little more. I can honestly not remember being as tired as I was after the count and declaration in Manchester.
That was followed by two hours of intense media frenzy, a reception and then the three hour drive home. I got two hours rest and then it was up and out again to go live on BBC Look North and then prepping for the press conference on Wednesday. (I honestly have no idea how our Chairman does it. A vital factor in this win was that he worked on the streets and with the media as hard if not harder than the rest of us.)
It was a draining week coming on the back of the most intense and arduous election campaign any of us have ever been involved in. But, you know what? It was all worth it. We have completed our mission and we send not one but two of our best to Brussels.
We will now regroup, debrief, convert the tens of thousands of enquiries into members and activists, assess our weak points and build for the future. Very soon we will be opening constituency offices in both regions and planning our next twelve months.
Let me take this opportunity to thank the 132,000 people in the North West who saw through the media lies and resisted the constant pressure of the unions and left wing zealots, the disgraceful, immoral, emotional blackmail from the churches and the smear after smear from the Labour Party and the media and who voted BNP. Thank you all, you have made history!
But my greatest respect and thanks goes to our small but dedicated bands of activists across the North West. It has been a pleasure and an honour to have worked with you all under the most intense pressure. The results were so close that I can say in all honesty that if one of our units had let us down, we would have lost.
It was a true team effort and a victory for us and for democracy. We set out our plan some months ago and stuck to it. I would also like to pay my respect and the party’s thanks to the 39 teams who watched every postal vote opening, verification and count all through this massive region. These people are the unsung heroes of our campaign and if any one factor gave us this victory, it was the hundreds of hours our teams spent in those council offices and the 10,000+ seals we affixed on the ballot boxes.
We move on from here, stronger, wiser and with a North West BNP MEP.
