I received this little gem recently which again shows how Labour and its paid agents seek to mobilise the Labour vote by whipping up fear and by playing the race card to their advantage. This particular organisation has occupied Council premises for a long time and received considerable cash grants in the tens of thousands. Labour pays these groups and supposed community leaders cash incentives to keep their people in line and to ensure they vote Labour at every election. Margaret Hodge has often said she does not need the ‘white working class vote’ because she has the immigrant vote. Well they have to a degree as they spend millions of pounds every year on organisations like these to help them prop that vote up. Gordon Brown and his fascist Labour Party plays the tune and the immigrants dance……

Dear All

Following the announcement by Nick Griffin the leader of the Fascist and Racist British National Party (BNP) to contest the parliamentary seat of Barking, the Leadership of the Ethnic Minorities Partnership Agency (EMPA) is making a clarion call to all its member groups and other Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic (BAME) community leaders in Barking and Dagenham to team up with EMPA and other like bodies to galvanise the BAME voters to go out and vote in their numbers in the May 2010 General and Local Elections.

EMPA takes the announcement and the threat of the presence of the BNP Leader in Barking during the electioneering period leading to the May 2010 General and Local Election seriously. The BAME communities in Barking and Dagenham should rightly be ready to face both the challenges of Nick Griffin’s presence in the borough and also the local council seats that are up for grasp, where the BNP is seeking to increase its number of seats..

EMPA knows too well the consequences of a BNP controlled local authority and a BNP Member (s) of Parliament for Barking and Dagenham for the minority communities in Barking and Dagenham. If the 2006 local elections in Barking and Dagenham where the BNP got 12 seats is anything to go by, then the announcement and threat by the Fascist and Racist BNP Leader is serious and cannot be ignored.

Just as the BNP is determined to get a foothold in Barking and Dagenham and to continue to spread their messages of fascism, racism and hate, EMPA, the BAME communities and good indigenous people of Barking and Dagenham should equally be determined to flush them out of the borough into the sea. This can only be done through a collective, determined and sustained campaign of getting the minorities votes out on elections day. The evidence of the 2006 local elections showed that the BNP won the 12 local council seats due to the fact the minorities voters did not come out in their numbers to vote.

EMPA believes that task to get rid off the BNP in Barking and Dagenham in the May 2010 General and Local Elections is achievable, and “Yes We Can”, but the biggest challenges are complacency and voter apathy on the part of the minorities’ voters; and that is why EMPA is making the clarion call to urge its member groups and other minority community leaders to start now with the anti BNP messages into the BAME homes and communities and together we can get rid of the BNP from Barking and Dagenham.

The central message to EMPA members and other BAME leaders is don’t agonise, organise.

Thank you

For and on behalf
