The Mainstream Media (MSM) keep smearing the BNP, but Nationalists will be delighted to know that the circulation of these anti-BNP newspapers dropped again in August.
According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) the number of copies sold in August, apart from a few exceptions, fell since the previous August.

The Daily Star is the only paper that increased the number of copies sold, mainly because it dropped its cover price to 20p in many parts of the country.
The Sun followed suit, as it also sells around 1.5 million copies a day at the lesser 20p rate. The cost of its basic cover price cut from 35p to 30p and of its further discount to 20p in certain areas is estimated at more than £50m a year in cover price revenue alone.
This affected ‘ Trinity Mirror Group’ national titles, they were evidently feeling the effects of strict cost-cutting which must have impacted on their marketing budgets.
The ‘Independent’ and ‘Independent on Sunday’ are the worst performing papers so much so, that Denis O’Brian, one of the shareholders of Independent News and Media (INM), the multinational company that controls the two titles, wanted to sell them or close them down.
INM is in deep troubles, it failed to pay 200m Euro to its bondholders and now its major shareholder plans to give up half of his shares to the creditors as part of a rescue deal.
As the number of people supporting the BNP keeps rising, the newspaper owners should ask themselves this question. “How wise is it to put these increasing numbers off buying newspapers that print anti-Nationalist/BNP stories”?
Even if the prospect of a single newspaper breaking ranks and supporting us is unlikely, surely running more balanced stories would incentivise more people to buy them and reduce their financial problems.
GIUSEPPE DE SANTIS
It saddens me to see the depths to which a once respected, and honourable trade ie: journalism has sunk.
When I was a lad, many years ago. Newspapers and radio were our only source of information. TV was for the rich, and the interwebbythingy would have been looked on as something further into the future than Dan Dare: sorry, but I do tend to wander in my dotage.
To come back to the point!
Journalists, whether BBC or print were respected, and accepted as the voice of truth, (Lord Rieth springs to mind) presenting unbiased, and unvarnished evidence, but no more is this true.
In the last five decades I have seen the once respected trade of journalism prostituted, and suborned by the scheming traitors who crawl and trawl the cellars (for that is where they should be) of the once admired and respected House's of Commons and Lords.
Sorry!!! wandering again..
I suspect I am not alone in my perambulations down memory lane if these figures are true. There are old buggers like me out there that remember better times, and choose to use our hard earned money in better ways. I would rather pay for the interwebbbbywotsit and get the truth than support the scum of the NUJ and their paymasters.
Nuff said…
Giuseppe, thank you for all your hard work.
Boycott them.
This drop in newspaper sales is good news for BNP supporters. At one time I used to look forward to reading my newspaper in the morning over a cup of tea. Last year I wrote to the Mail in regard to an article by Stephen Glover who lambasted the BNP. He ended his article saying the most stupid thing ever that if the BNP has nurses, carers, teachers and professional people in it's party why have they got shaven headed men around Nick Griffin. What are we to have then? Limp wristed nanny boys mincing around Nick. I mentioned that I didn't want to pay money to have my party slagged off. I now buy the Radio Times which gives good coverage of what is left of good TV.
