The British National Party’s South East region has announced six new candidates in Lewes, Milton Keynes South, Windsor, Gillingham and Rainham, Portsmouth South and Chatham and Ayelsford.

Royal Air Force Regiment veteran David Lloyd will stand for the BNP in Lewes.

“My family has served in the Army and the Royal Navy for decades and have earned the right to say how this country is run,” Mr Lloyd said.

“It is my duty to protect their values of honesty, decency, integrity and loyalty. I will not stand by and watch my country being destroyed by the Tory/Labour/Lib Dem Tweedledee and Tweedledum parties who have no concept of the meaning of loyalty to a country or its people,” he said.

Financial consultant Matt Tait will be the party’s candidate in Milton Keynes.

“I will campaign on the serious threat which uncontrolled mass immigration poses to our existence as a nation,” Mr Tait said.

“Current demographic trends show that we are set to be overrun by the Third World invasion well within 30 or 40 years.  This is not the sort of future I want to bequeath to future generations.

“In addition, my campaign will call for an end to the Afghanistan war.”

Architect Peter Phillips will be the party’s candidate in Windsor.

“As a born and bred Londoner, I am saddened by the steady decline of our country,” said Mr Phillips.

“We see all around us the end product of decades of Tory/Labour/Lib Dem misrule: the run-down state of our surroundings, the health service, the education and transport sectors, the erosion of our once cohesive and law-abiding society and the increasing shortage and unaffordable cost of housing. We need to change direction.

“The principal causes of our nation’s decline are relentless uncontrolled immigration, the destructive political correctness which dominates every aspect of our lives, and the transfer of power to the unaccountable European Union,” he said, adding that only the BNP will “stop this madness.”

In Gillingham and Rainham, long-time Medway resident Brian Ravenscroft will carry the party’s flag.

“Mass immigration has changed the face of the constituency and has resulted in British people being put last,” Mr Ravenscroft said.

“I will campaign to end this anti-British discrimination and put the rights of our people first.”

Local businessman Geoff Crompton will contest the Portsmouth South seat on behalf of the BNP.

He will campaign on the principles of putting British people first and on ending the war in Afghanistan.

“The recent outcry over taxi drivers in Southampton using ‘English speaking driver’ stickers shows just how far the madness of anti-English political correctness has gone,” Mr Crompton said.

Electrical engineer Colin McCarthy-Stewart will be the BNP candidate in Chatham & Aylesford.

“I have seen this country change out of all proportion since the 60s and 70s,” Mr McCarthy-Stewart said. “It has been a change for the worse.

“The BNP is the only party that will act in the best interests of the people of Medway and which will provide a better future for all,” he said.

Former UKIP candidate Neil Jackson is to represent the British National Party as its prospective parliamentary candidate in the East Sussex constituency of Bexhill and Battle.

Mr Jackson has had a long career in public service, starting with the Royal Air Force and later in the Customs and Excise office and the Metropolitan Police’s civil staff.

“I joined the BNP because it is the only party capable of dragging this once great country out of the mess it is now in,” Mr Jackson said.

“I am concerned over immigration and asylum which are overwhelming our NHS, housing and schools and undermining law and order. This is making an already difficult employment situation worse.”

Mr Jackson will also be campaigning for an immediate end to Britain’s involvement in unnecessary foreign wars, with particular reference to Afghanistan.

“If elected, I will uphold the highest standards of integrity and undertake to always be receptive to voter concerns,” he said.

The British National Party in Scotland has made yet another breakthrough for the party with the launch of its first ever billboard campaign, reports Scottish party leader Gary Raikes.

“The first billboard has gone up in Aberdeen to support our candidate Susan Ross,” said Mr Raikes.

“This is hot on the heels of our Truth Truck tour which has helped to bring home the BNP’s message to the people of North East Scotland,” he said.

Mr Raikes said two more billboards were planned, one in Gordon and another in Banff Buchan, in support of BNP candidates Elise Jones and Richard Payne respectively.

The latest meeting of the British National Party in Hastings raised just over £1065 for election funds, reports organiser and candidate Nick Prince.

“It is the largest amount ever raised at a Hastings meeting and is an indication of the growing support for the party,” Mr Prince said.

“Just over £200 was raised in a conventional collection and the rest in a candidate sponsorship ‘Dutch style’ auction,” he said.

The guest speaker for the evening was new Guildford organiser Steve Bolton. “This was the first meeting at which Mr Bolton was our guest speaker. He proved to be an excellent orator and spoke from the heart about personal experiences and national issues,” Mr Prince said.

The activist of the year award was presented to Ken Shotton of Eastbourne, who tirelessly travelled a 30 mile round trip daily to leaflet a County Council Division almost single-handedly during last year’s campaign, he added.

Pictured are Nick Prince, Ken Shotton and Steve Bolton.

It is with deepest regret that we have to announce the passing of one of the South East’s most prominent party activists, Adam Champneys.

“Mr Champneys passed away after a long and hard-fought illness,” reported South East regional organiser Andy McBride.

“He stood in European and local elections for a party that, in his own words, he loved,” Mr McBride said.

“In a letter he wrote just days before he passed away, he said that there ‘is only one party for patriotic Englishmen these days, a party that stands for honesty and integrity and I am proud and honoured to be in it’.”

Mr Champneys had many close personal friends, including Nick and Jackie Griffin. The BNP leader and his wife would often stay over with the Champneys in their rural hide away.

Crawley BNP activist Richard Trower, who was a personal friend of Adam and his wife Jan, said, “We haven’t just lost a comrade who gave everything in spreading the word of British nationalism, but a true friend who supported everyone regardless of position.

“He was one of the most down-to-earth men one could ever wish to meet. I shall miss him dearly,” Mr Trower said.

Mr McBride said that party had “lost a true and honourable friend.

“When I last spoke with Adam, he said he hoped to live to see his friend Nick Griffin elected as MP. Sadly this wasn’t to be granted to him, but one can be sure that he will be looking down on Nick as he takes those first steps into Westminster. Rest in peace dear friend.”

The Heanor, Derbyshire, branch of the British National Party cleaned up a litter site in the town this week after Labour councillors refused to do anything about it, reports Councillor Lewis Allesbrook.

“The public had complained to the council about a car park which had been strewn with dumped rubbish,” said Cllr Allesbrook.

“However, the local Labour councillors were not interested in resolving the problem, despite repeated requests.

“The issue is doubly embarrassing for the Labour Party as the car park in question is adjacent to Heanor Labour Club.”

Fed up with Labour apathy and their obvious lack of community spirit, Cllr Allesbrook organised a team which included local councillors and the party’s prospective parliamentary candidate, Michael Clarke, to do what Labour’s expense-claimants refused to do, and cleaned up the area.

“The BNP team soon filled 14 black bin bags with rubbish and called on the local authority’s Clean-Up Team to remove the bulkier items fly-tipped at the far end of the car park,” Cllr Allesbrook said.

“Why Labour’s elected representatives were disinclined to perform this menial task on behalf of the local community remains a mystery, but it appears to be totally in keeping with their attitude towards serving the community in general.”

Pictured above are members of the BNP’s volunteer “Clean-Up Team”, including, left to right, Michael Clarke, Lewis Allesbrook and Emma and Cliff Roper.

Hastings organiser Nick Prince has been selected to represent the British National Party in the Sussex constituency of Hastings and Rye, regional organiser Andy McBride has announced.

The Hastings branch was created following a flood of new membership applications which took place in the wake of last year’s local elections.  Mr Prince is also the BNP’s East Sussex sub-regional organiser and South East Nominations and Elections Officer.

“I am from a Hastings family and I live in the constituency,” Mr Prince said.

“If elected as MP, I will fight tirelessly to improve the road links to and from the area. This will encourage the local economy, will boost growth and jobs and will increase the number of tourists to this historic and valuable part of England.

“I will also campaign to create a national television museum which will attract visitors from all over the world, and fight to increase the rail service to all parts of the constituency, as demanded by local residents,” he said,

“I will fully support the local fishing industry against the rampages of the European Union and will not let that sector down like the previous Tory MP did.”

The Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) failed attempt to destabilise the British National Party (BNP) on behalf of the Labour Party has lead to a 29 percent increase in incoming traffic to the party website.

News that party Chairman Nick Griffin had outmanoeuvred  and outwitted the EHRC — allowing the membership to reopen — saw the website ranking surge almost 10,000 places, from a weekly average of 31,726 to 21,801 in the world rankings.

According to traffic analysts Alexa, the BNP website is now most popular amongst age groups 18–24, 45–54 and silver surfers of 65+.

Alexa also states that the average visitor is a university graduate accessing the BNP website from their home computers; this is in contrast with the average Labour Party website users who “have no college education and browse the Labour site from school.”

Amongst rival party sites the BNP has the most diverse global reach which gives the party the ability to connect with ex-pats all over the world, in particular, those residing within the commonwealth and Anglosphere.

Today is the official worldwide celebration of St Patrick’s Day and in keeping with the British National Party’s desire to preserve and respect all European cultures, the party sends its official greetings to all people of Irish descent, deputy leader Simon Darby said.

Speaking from Brussels where he is part of a delegation preparing for the BNP’s first European Parliament exhibition, Mr Darby said that the entire party delegation intended to go out after the function and celebrate St Patrick’s Day.

St Patrick was born in Roman Britain during the fifth century and was taken captive at 16 years of age by Irish raiders and held prisoner, probably in County Mayo.

According to his Confession, Patrick was told by God in a dream to flee and return to Britain whereupon he joined the church in Auxerre in Gaul and became a priest.

In 432 Patrick went back to Ireland to preach Christianity to the Irish. Folklore claims that he used the shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) to the Irish people.

He spent 30 years in Ireland and was buried in Downpatrick, or so the tradition has it. Patrick was not the only missionary to Ireland, but has emerged as the principal champion of Irish Christianity.

Blue was Patrick’s original colour, but over the years it was changed to green and today that colour is most closely associated with all things Irish.

The British National Party’s first ever European parliament exhibition, titled “The Cumbrian Floods — Caused by Global Capitalism, not Global Warming” will be launched tomorrow evening in Brussels, Nick Griffin MEP’s office staff have announced.

The exhibition, which will consist of brochures, a slide show, a talk by Mr Griffin and a specially commissioned ten minute film, will reveal how the November 2009 disaster in Cumbria was the result of a lack of investment in infrastructure caused by privatisation and not “climate change.”

“The flooding was blamed on what was called a once-in-a-thousand-year rainfall,” said Eddy Butler, researcher on Mr Griffin’s staff.

“By implication this meant climate change. The reality is that the blame for the tragedy in Cumbria rests with the companies responsible for maintaining the local infrastructure,” he said.

A coach load of members of the public from the disaster area, organised by Mr Griffin’s other staff members Martin and Tina Wingfield, will visit the exhibition when it opens.

* Media and members of the public are invited to the event which will take place in a room off the Brussels parliament’s Yehudi Menuhin lower ground floor at 5:30 pm.

Tea, coffee and light snacks will be available.

Packed out audiences who attended two British National Party election roadshows in Newcastle and the East Midlands have contributed a total of £7667 towards regional election costs.

The audience at the Newcastle event, arranged by regional organiser Ken Booth, were entertained by musicians Joey Smith and Dave Eales and then followed by a speech from party leader Nick Griffin MEP.

Mr Griffin discussed the now-lifted membership ban and the war in Afghanistan, bringing tears to many people’s eyes when he told how the father of Rifleman Martin Kingett, who sadly never made it back from Afghanistan alive, was out leafleting and canvassing just to try and take his mind off things and help put the pressure on Brown to bring an end to this futile war.

Mr Griffin said that Tony Blair and Gordon Brown would be put on trial for that and other crimes against the British people, a statement which was met with rapturous applause and cheering.

After the buffet and auction, where BNP member Steven Spence won a signed picture of Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons MEP after bidding £150, the musical duo ‘2BE’ rounded off the night with a highly popular sing a-long session.

In Sutton in Ashfield, the roadshow proceedings were dominated by the astonishing £6000 collection raised after an inspiring speech by party consultant and fundraiser Jim Dowson.

In both cases, over 200 hundred supporters packed the venues.

£2765 was raised for election funds at the latest Harlow British National Party meeting at which five more candidates were announced for the Harlow, Epping Forest, Broxbourne, Rochford and Southend East and Saffron Walden seats.

BNP national organiser Eddy Butler will fight the Harlow constituency, while Pat Richardson will stand in Epping Forest. Steve McCole will fight Broxbourne; Geoff Strobridge will contest Rochford and Southend East and Chrissie Mitchell will fly the party’s flag in Saffron Walden.

The announcement, made at the inaugural meeting of the Harlow group this week, was met with warm applause from the packed venue, reports organiser Geoff Williams.

The meeting was addressed by Mr Butler; Chris Roberts, candidate for Basildon South and East Thurrock; and Epping Forest organiser Paul Morris, candidate for Brentwood and Ongar.

Seven new members signed up on the spot and a new local election candidate also came forward as a range of activities across Essex was announced for the coming weeks.

“There is clearly a new wave of enthusiasm sweeping the party,” Mr Butler said.

“We are creating real momentum just at the right time. The Eastern Region, like all other areas, will fight considerably more seats in the general election than originally estimated.

“The EHRC case has created a new mood of determination. As ever, the spirit of the party has bounced back in the face of adversity and we go into this general election campaign united as never before,” Mr Butler said.

British National Party superactivist and hero Peter Tierney will appear in court tomorrow on trumped-up charges resulting from an attack on a BNP crowd by leftist fascists last St George’s Day.

“It would be nice if we could get as many of our people and supporters there to show our solidarity with Peter Tierney on the first day of the trial,” said Liverpool BNP organiser Peter Squire.

“Peter Tierney is someone who shows solidarity to any nationalist who needs help,” Mr Squire continued. “The least we can do is give him our support in return on this one day, Wednesday, 17th March.”

Mr Squires said that anyone wishing to attend this show trial should meet outside the Crown Court at 9.15 am. Proceedings are expected to last for the day and it would be appreciated if people could be there when Mr Tierney leaves between 3 and 4 pm as well.

Inquiries can be directed to: Peter Squires, Liverpool BNP, on 07941 704 997 or email BNPMERSEYSIDE@fsmail.net

Details of the amendments to version 12.1 of the British National Party’s constitution, as enacted by Nick Griffin MEP last Friday, have been released with immediate effect.

The amendments were made to comply with the court’s ruling over membership criteria in a case brought by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).

The full constitution with all amendments merged will follow in due course.

The amendments enacted may be found by clicking here.

The British National Party has announced that well-known activist Lynne Mozar will be its candidate in the Buckingham seat and will campaign against sitting MP John Bercow’s plans to actively discriminate against white British people as outlined in a parliamentary review published in January this year.

“Mr Bercow’s Speaker’s Conference said it believed that ‘parliament is too white, middle-class, heterosexual, male and able-bodied’,” Ms Mozar said.

“The published proposals say that if political parties do not artificially promote women and ethnics as candidates, consideration will be given to legal measures to enforce compulsory ethnic shortlists,” Ms Mozar said.

“All forms of so-called affirmative action are deeply insulting to women and ethnic-origin people, as it implies that they are incapable of achieving office on their own without being artificially helped up.

“The BNP believes all potential candidate selections should be based solely on merit. If the person is best suited for the job and can deliver to the constituents, then that person should be selected.

“Mr Bercow’s plan, which has been endorsed by all parties in parliament, is nothing but another means by which that criminal conspiracy seeks to undermine and destroy all that which made Britain great,” Ms Mozar said.

“The BNP is completely opposed to this blatant anti-white racism and will use this campaign to thoroughly expose Mr Bercow’s plans to put our people last,” she said.

Ms Mozar replaces the original BNP prospective candidate, Adam Worley, who has stood down for pressing personal reasons. Mr Worley will help Ms Mozar in her campaign.

Ms Mozar was born in London in 1944 and has lived most of her life in the South East of England, working in the corporate legal sector.

BNP prospective parliamentary candidate for North Swindon, Reg Bates, was forced off the first day of a four week NHS course, because someone objected to him wearing a T-shirt depicting a quote from the 1215 Magna Carta.

Mr Bates (pictured), a volunteer mental health worker for his local NHS, says the course facilitator, an assistant psychologist, took exception to his T-shirt on the spurious grounds that some unspecified person “may find it offensive.”

The “offending” T-shirt (pictured) depicts an image of English Christian knights on a crusade in the Holy Land, together with a text from around the same period, taken from the Magna Carta.

The text reads: “’We will dismiss out of our kingdom all foreign soldiers, bowmen, serving men, and mercenaries, who come with horses and arms to the nuisance thereof’. — Article 51, Magna Carta, 1215″.

Mr Bates was given a choice either to cover up the “offending” T-shirt or leave the course; he refused to be cowed by political correctness and chose the latter.

In a statement to the press office of the BNP’s South West region, he said: “I can’t imagine who might be offended by a T-shirt which quotes from an historic English document, a cornerstone of English law, in fact.

“The course I was on was about beating low self-esteem.

“Imagine how low my self-esteem was after being told I picked the wrong T-shirt to put on that morning.”

Undeterred by this act of blatant political correctness, Mr Bates intends to devote his now vacant next four weeks to some extra campaigning in his North Swindon constituency, where he will be taking on Labour’s Victor Agarwal, a Surrey resident, who was “parachuted in” to succeed Labour’s outgoing MP, Michael Wills.

As every schoolchild should know, the Magna Carta is an English legal charter which was issued under duress by King John in the year 1215.

It explicitly protected certain rights of the king’s subjects, whether “free or fettered”, and implicitly supported what became the writ of habeas corpus, allowing appeal against unlawful imprisonment.

The Magna Carta influenced the development of the common law and many constitutional documents, including the United States Constitution, and led to the rule of constitutional law which is used to this day in the English speaking world.

The good news is that you can purchase your very own “offensive” Magna Carta T-shirt here.

Mass immigration as pursued by both Tory and Labour parties are the cause of local housing crises, British National Party Mancot Councillor John Walker said last week during a demonstration outside Flintshire County Hall.

Cllr Walker took part in a demonstration of his constituents against a proposed Unitary Development Plan (UDP) proposal which seeks to build an extra 240 houses in the North Wales village which will add more than 1000 residents.

Cllr Walker said that the claim of local Labour MP Mark Tami and Labour AM Carl Sargeant that they supported the local community’s opposition was an “insult to people’s intelligence.”

“It is the Labour government in the Welsh Assembly and Westminster who are pushing the UDP’s projects onto the local authorities.

“This is due to a net nationwide increase in population of up to a million a year,” Cllr Walker, who is also the BNP’s candidate in the Alyn & Deeside constituency, said.

“This, in turn, is caused by the uncontrolled immigration invasion flood caused by the Labour Party.”

Dozens of Mancot residents took part in the demonstration, objecting to the project which they said would use up vital facilities and negatively affect their quality of life.

At a Flintshire council executive meeting earlier in the day, members voted unanimously to approve the proposal. Deputy council leader Cllr Tony Sharps confirmed the accuracy of Mr Walker’s blame on the Labour Party by saying that the “UDP is legislation; it’s law and will have to go through.”

The British National Party will be fighting the Maidenhead and Dover seats in England’s South East, regional organiser Andy McBride has announced.

In Maidenhead, former shipping and marine insurance executive Tim Rait will carry the party’s flag, while in Dover, former librarian Dennis Whiting will stand for the BNP.

Mr Rait, a former Conservative Party member who left the Tories in disgust at their conversion into a resuscitated version of the Labour Party, said he would “oppose our involvement in distant wars” and campaign to bring British troops home from Afghanistan.

“I believe that we should be able to make laws for Britain in our own parliament, rather than decisions being made abroad,” Mr Rait said.

“We must leave the EU and regain our independence. Our borders should be properly controlled.

“I am opposed to multiculturalism; we should protect and retain the British character of our land,” he said, adding that he also wanted “our countryside to be looked after and over development to be curbed.”

Mr Whiting, who is a veteran nationalist who has lived in East Kent for most of his life, said he was motivated by a “love for our country” and a concern at the manner in “which it has lost its way.”

“I believe in the revival of British manufacturing industry and in creating the conditions for family farms and small businesses to flourish,” Mr Whiting said.

“I want us out of the EU and am totally opposed to the alien influences such as Islamism and Globalism.

“As a Catholic, I oppose abortion and am a fervent believer in traditional Christian values,” he said.

The British National Party’s dynamic South East organiser, Andrew McBride, is to contest the Tunbridge Wells parliamentary seat for the party, it has been announced.

Mr McBride, a 25-year veteran businessman, said his work experience had given him a unique insight into the complex regulations imposed upon British companies by the unelected civil servants in Brussels.

“I want to end this bureaucratic nightmare into which British companies are placed by these unelected bureaucrats,” Mr McBride said.

“It has been my intention for the last 20 years to get Britain out of the European Economic Union. The BNP is the only legitimate party through which this can be achieved,” he said.

Mr McBride has been married for 35 years and has six children and three grandchildren. He has lived all his life in the South East and was born in Berkshire.

The British National Party in the South West of England has shocked the party’s opponents by announcing another three parliamentary candidates who will contest the seats of Filton and Bradley Stoke, Bristol East and Bristol South.

Lifelong Bristol resident David Scott will fight the Filton and Bradley Stoke seat, while the Bristol East seat will be contested by Keynsham resident Brian Jenkins. Former British Aerospace worker Colin Chidsey will fight the Bristol South seat.

Mr Scott, whose children have all attended South Gloucestershire Schools, saw active service with the local County Infantry Regiment.

Mr Chidsey will campaign on getting British troops out of Afghanistan and for protecting local Bristol jobs.

Mr Jenkins, who was recently publicly endorsed by World War II Normandy veteran Bob Head (pictured below) is committed to campaigning for Britain’s withdrawal from the EU and a better deal for pensioners.
