London Organisers met in Central London last Thursday 22nd July, to discuss their plans for the crucial 2012 Mayoral and Greater London Assembly elections due to take place on 3rd May that year.

A committee has been set up to oversee the election with various representatives given specific roles to fulfil as the campaigning gets under way later in the year. Further members will be co-opted onto the committee as and when required.

As we advertised on London Patriot back in June, if you want to be considered as our London Mayoral candidate please forward your curriculum vitae giving information about yourself and your political experience to date, to PO Box 61680, Eltham, London SE9 9BE. Don’t forget to include your BNP membership number. The closing date for this has been extended to Saturday 14th August.

Acting London Organiser and GLA researcher Chris Roberts gave organisers a paper which contained a foreword from himself together with the members of the committee, their respective roles and their contact details.

A draft leaflet for the campaign start in October this year was also put in front of organisers for their input and comments. Chris Roberts commented “it is important all London activists buy into our strategy if it is to have maximum effect and we are to deliver a strong campaign”.

After obtaining a bridgehead in the GLA with one Assembly member in 2008 it’s vital the BNP build on this success in 2012, however, that will only be achieved with every organiser, member and activist in London coming together to deliver our most intense campaign yet.

The meeting went off very well with all those present agreeing that our theme for 2012 will resonate with hard pressed London taxpayers and is something all London BNP can get their teeth into!

A statement by Chris Roberts – Acting London Regional Organiser.

All political parties have a blip from time to time, we in the BNP are no different and after a number of years of unprecedented success it was bound to happen that we would enter a more difficult phase before our upward curve continues again. I have no doubt that once we work through our current difficulties everyone will concentrate on the important mission ahead, that of securing a better future for our children and our children’s children.

Now I have always believed that without activists our party is impotent and totally ineffective. Activists are the lifeblood of our electoral success and I also believe sometimes our activists are taken for granted and not praised highly enough. Make no mistake, activists get our councillors elected, got our London Assembly member elected and our European MPs elected. Of course its very easy to think when you’ve been elected it was all your own doing and that without “my” charismatic input it would never have happened! As much as I try not to deflate some of the bigger ego’s in this party, sadly they are deluded if they think that’s the case. Furthermore, any elected councillor, Assembly member or European MP is elected to serve the interests of the public who elected them on the manifesto and policies they set out at the election. Working hard for constituents should be a given in order to demonstrate that voting BNP is the right way to progress our nation’s interests which in turn gives the BNP positive publicity and promotion. Sometimes we must take a critical look at ourselves and where we have let ourselves down we must strive to do better.

It was with this in mind when the Acting London Organiser job was thrust upon me that I decided to look and analyse some areas where we could improve our effectiveness in promoting London BNP. It did not not make sense to me that the third highest elected official in the BNP would also have time to be a Branch Organiser, therefore, following a discussion with various high ranking individuals (including our London Assembly member) I decided that it would be a far better use of his talents to be going around London visiting critical organisations such as age concern, hospitals or various transport bodies etc and of course the general public in order to get valuable feedback and act on any concerns they may have as well as heighten the profile of London BNP. After all our GLA Assembly member was elected on the London wide top up list and has a duty to the whole of London.

In my opinion the Assembly Member has not been been sacked as the Dagenham and Barking organiser, rather the spirit of that manouvre is designed to give the member more time to work on and enhance his London wide responsibilities as well as positively influencing London BNP’s profile.

So to all London BNP organisers, officials, members and supporters, any decision I make is only done with the best interests of London BNP in mind, ego’s and personalities are of no interest to me. The legacy we leave our children and our grandchildren will ultimately be our judge and jury. So allow me here and now to thank all London activists from the bottom of my heart, without you we will not endure, it is a privilige to work with you and I know once these current difficulties are out of the way we will once again together be working hard to get more London BNP candidates elected and they will in turn strive to make our capital city a safe and pleasant place for our people to live and work in!

Nationalists will remember how Richard Barnbrook, when he was a BNP councillor, shot a video in which he claimed three murders took place in Barking & Dagenham.

Afterward he realised he had made a mistake but the purpose of that video was to raise awareness of the problem of gang-related crime, a common occurrence in London and the rest of the UK.

However as the establishment is committed to stop the British National Party by any means at their disposal it was inevitable that both the Great London Assembly and Barking & Dagenham town hall would start disciplinary action against Mr Barnbrook.

Well, we are happy to report that London Assembly member Richard Barnbrook won his appeal against Barking and Dagenham Council after a tribunal ruled he had made the claim as a City Hall politician rather than a councillor. This meant he was not in breach of the council code of conduct and therefore his one-month council suspension has been quashed.

Barking and Dagenham Council is understood to have spent between £15,000 and £20,000 investigating Mr Barnbrook after his video was posted online in September 2008. He said his dyslexia had made him blunder on the YouTube video.

City Hall ruled he had brought the Greater London Authority into disrepute following a standards hearing in September 2009.

The City Hall findings stand as he withdrew his appeal against the GLA. Mr Barnbrook served his council suspension in October 2009.

This is another victory for the British National Party and it sent a clear signal that we will continue to tell the truth and we will not tolerate any form of intimidation or attempts to silence us.

Nonetheless it’s important to focus on the cost of this state-sponsored harassment.

Barking & Dagenham is in dire financial condition (it must save £43m in the next three years) and deep cuts in frontline services are expected as well as many lay-offs of council staff, but in spite of that Labour felt entitled to waste between £15,000 – £20,000 of taxpayers money to persecute an elected politician because he dared to tell the truth about gang-related crime.

It may be interesting to know how this money was spent, if someone got paid to offer legal advice and if a cost-benefit assessment was carried out.

As the only purpose of this disciplinary action was to satisfy the vanity of some members of the Labour party, maybe it’s time that either Labour councillors or the Labour party dug deep in their pockets to refund taxpayers.

You couldn’t make it up..

15 June 2010.
Soldiers of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Anglian Regiment (Vikings) marched through Barking marking their return home from Afghanistan, and amidst the hatred from the Mohammedan invader flying the black flag, a courage not seen in these islands since the creation of the EHRC was shown. The EDL had the backbone to stand and protest against the new group of Islamic extremists ‘MAC’ and are to be congratulated.
The parade saw about 200 soldiers, accompanied by the Minden Band, march through the town with bayonets fixed and flags flying. The route saw the soldiers step off from Wakering Road and continue to Station Parade, through the market (East Street) and Barking Town Square.

The small rabble of radical muslim protesters were pretty much laughed at.

A pity the ‘Police Service’ (Force) did not show the courage of the EDL when they were chased down the Mall by those same Mohammedans last year.

At a meeting of London BNP officers last night Robert Bailey announced he is standing down from his role as London Organiser with immediate effect.
Bob has been in the role for 2 years giving sterling service to the BNP in London. Bob needs to concentrate on clearing his name following unfounded allegations of assault during the recent London Elections. However, to aid a smooth transitional period Bob has kindly agreed to carry on as an advisor to the incoming London organiser.

Everyone connected with the British National Party thanks Bob for his tireless commitment to Nationalism. Bob leaves London BNP in good shape with more Branches and Groups than ever before, recently London BNP stood a record number of candidates and it is testament to Bob’s tireless efforts that this was possible.

Christopher Roberts has agreed to take over as acting London Organiser until a successor to Bob is found. Chris is a long-standing member of the BNP currently working as a researcher to Richard Barnbrook in City Hall. Chris was London organiser in 2003/04 so is not coming into the position without some experience of what is expected.

Margaret Hodge’s comments on the election platform to fellow BNP contender Nick Griffin are an indication of the arrogance of New-Labour now that they have attained what is in effect a one-party state here in Barking and Dagenham.
Regrettably, despite all prior indications, she won! But her arrogant and gloating response to Nick at the very moment of her victory that the BNP should ‘pack their bags and go!’ was ill-judged and ungracious, to put it kindly. Let me make it clear now, we have no intention whatsoever of packing up and leaving this borough. In fact our intentions are to dig in, and on every occasion, we will contest Labour by petitioning, being active and focusing on the real concerns and issue that affect the good people of Barking and Dagenham.
What she didn’t see fit to take into account was that the BNP vote showed a marked increase on that attained in the last election. Over 6000 people voted for Nick. That’s a lot of people, if you tried to squeeze them all into the village hall! And we got our votes by legitimate means. Some people are wondering how the Labour party got theirs! But then rumours are only rumours, aren’t they? Like some that still persist in maintaining that rampant knife-crime doesn’t happen.
Many will be observing future political developments in Barking and Dagenham with great interest. Because now, Labour have managed to attain unprecedented success in taking every single council seat and have set up what is in effect, a one party state, which does not reflect the true will of the electorate, by any means. From whichever end of the political spectrum one views this, such a totalitarian state of affairs can’t be healthy. Indeed, for Labour to now be in a position of such unchallenged power is very concerning.
As for Margaret Hodge, she too will have her day. Her record as a politician is far from unblemished. And she is a member of the liberal political elite, all of whom have no real affinity with the people that they represent. It is only a question of time until the electorate see through her. Because it’s true as they say- you can take in some of the people some of the time. But you can’t dupe all the people all the time!

A few days ago I was reading the Barking & Dagenham Post (BD Post) and I was quite surprised!

The front-page was about the BNP losing all its seats in Barking & Dagenham and I expected the editorial comment to praise the good people of the borough for kicking the ‘racists’ out. (this is how we are usually described by the local press).
I was wrong.

Of course the editorial focussed on our bad results but it also expressed concerns about the fact that with no opposition to Labour it will make important decisions behind closed doors and will be unaccountable to anyone.

It also raised alarming concerns about the cuts that will need to be made in order to reduce the £36m budget deficit.

Indeed in the same issue there was another article about a plan to shut down 17 (out of 23) council buildings in order to cut costs.

That the financial situation of the borough was bad is hardly news, and that is why when BNP councillors delivered their alternative budget the BNP focused on reducing wasteful expenditure and using the savings to reduce the £36m deficit and cut the council tax.

Not surprisingly Labour rejected our proposals and they may have deliberately allowed the council financial situation to deteriorate so that if the BNP gained the control of the council (they knew we had a good chance of achieving it) we would face the fury of residents angered by the unpopular decisions we would be forced to make in order to deal with the problem.
Unfortunately things went differently but it now means that Labour will have to deal with the problem they created in the first place.

It is likely that many council workers will be sacked and council tax will increase, who will take the blame for it?

Labour of course.

The British National Party would have implemented common sense policies, such us cutting spending on interpreters and translation services, stopping the funding of immigrant groups, bringing in house some services that are now outsourced, thereby hugely reducing the salaries of senior council workers.

We all know it is very unlikely Labour will do any or all of the above, and that is why in the next 1-2 years they may lose so much support they will regret having taken the council in the first place.

It will be interesting to see how they justify an increase in the council tax or the cutting of some vital services when at the same time fat-cat civil servants are getting six figure salaries and ring fenced pensions.

Until now they have managed it by focusing on the ‘fascist’ threat and mobilising people like the UAF to stop the British National Party, a crafty and underhand way to move voters attention away from Labour failure and local politics.

Unfortunately for them they cannot do it anymore because the BNP now has no councillors and therefore they have no excuses, or anyone to blame.

Labour won control of the council but it also got its own poisoned chalice. Hoist on their own petard?

After the setback endured by the British National Party in the recent local and national elections, it was inevitable that the MSM and political commentators would crow about a BNP meltdown, and you can be sure more of those kind of articles will be published in the following days.

Actually the BNP had a small increase in the number of voters 1.8%, over half a million supported us and there is a solid body of supporters.

The aim of this BNP bashing is not just to demoralize BNP activists, but also a useful way to distract people from the hard times that lie ahead and it gives the three main parties a breathing space to avoid an embarrassing debate about the state of the economy.

Let’s start with the election results.

What is obvious is that no one won, and the main losers are not Labour, the Lib-Dem or the BNP but the Tories.

For David Cameron achieving a landslide victory should have been a walk in the park, after all he was challenging the worse PM in British history and leader of the most unpopular government in living memory.

Yet, far from getting a huge majority, the Tories managed a small increase that doesn’t gave them the power to govern alone.

It’s clear that they have a problem and we need comment no further on that, nationalists know very well what is wrong with them.

So now we have a hung parliament, a bad scenario in the best of the times but a nightmare now that the British economy is on the rocks.

By attacking the BNP the three main parties conveniently shift public attention from the sorry state of the British economy and the huge public deficit that must be reduced sooner rather than later.

Even if the economy recovers it will not generate new jobs, the rate of growth necessary will be too low, because people are still reducing consumption to pay-off debt.

Whoever is in power must increase taxes and must make big cuts that will adversely affect front line services, and a Greek style’ scenario of street riots and social unrest cannot be ruled out.

This will work in our favour because the more voters who are hit hard in their pockets the less they will support the three main parties, and this will be the time when the BNP make an unprecedented breakthrough.

Now it’s true that Labour now controls all the 51 seats in Barking & Dagenham but is this a victory they should be celebrating?

Maybe not.

Sooner or later they will have to deal with the council deficit and it may be, that central government will cut funding and therefore the council will have to increase council taxes and cut essential services.

And who will take the blame for that?

Without the BNP in opposition Labour will be forced to make unpopular decisions and will have to face the consequences of its actions.

We were hoping to take control of Barking & Dagenham, roll back the deficit, and show the other councils how to do it. This is no longer possible; and the new council will now face the anger of the voter when the tax’ rise the cuts come. We will be able to say with a degree of feeling; “we told you so”.

As for our Chairman Nick Griffin his third place in the election means more time to concentrate on his work in the EU (85% of British laws are made by the EU).

He is still an MEP and will last longer in his post, than the coalition in charge of a hung parliament will in Westminster.

Because of the result he can use his position as an MEP to expose the corrupt nature of the EU and show people the destructive effect it is having on Great Britain.

This task will be made easier by the new pan-European group of nationalist parties that should start work next year.

Far from finished!! The BNP is still active, although in a different way.

It is also worth remembering that immigration is still one of the main concerns for British voters and it’s not going away. it will get worse.

Labour stole victory from the BNP but it may turn out to be a pyrrhic’ victory.

Civil Liberty correspondent

Trade union leader Pat Harrington has accused extremists of seeking to misuse Standards Board complaints. His comments followed a hearing of the Barking and Dagenham council’s standards committee on the 26th of March. Mr Harrington, the General Secretary of the Solidarity Trade Union, was there to represent (in a personal capacity) Cllr. Bob Bailey of the British National Party (BNP).

Cllr. Bailey stood accused of ‘racism’ and other offences because of comments he is alleged to have made during a debate on a planning application from the Redeemed Christian Church of God. The Church congregation is overwhelmingly Nigerian. Cllr Bailey denies all allegations.

Mr Harrington said: “The complaint was organised by Cllr. Val Rush. Cllr. Rush is linked to the extremist organisation, Searchlight. She had a previous complaint against Cllr. Richard Barnbrook, another BNP councillor, thrown out on appeal. I represented Cllr. Barnbrook at that hearing. It appears to me that Cllr. Rush is making these complaints against British National Party members, at least partly, to score partisan political points. I am concerned about the amount of public money being spent to investigate and hear these complaints.”

Mr Harrington also hit out at the way that the investigation had been conducted: “Some twenty councillors were present at the Planning meeting yet the investigator interviewed only five. The five interviewed were Cllr. Bailey himself and four others associated with making the complaint. That is not a fair cross-section.

Additionally, leading and loaded questions were asked in interviews and positive reinforcement given to answers contradicting Cllr. Bailey. It’s clear to me that the investigation set out to ‘prove’ Cllr. Bailey guilty – not to find the truth.

I am determined to expose unfair procedures.”

At the hearing Mr Harrington was continually interrupted by the Chair as he sought to question witnesses and test their statements. The Chair, Fiona Fairweather, Dean of Law at East London University, also seemed determined that the case would be heard in one day despite the number of witnesses and nearly five hundred pages of written evidence and earlier objections from Mr Harrington. She imposed unreasonable five minute breaks and sought to pressurise Mr Harrington to ‘move along’.

Questions are now being raised as to how independent and fair Fiona Fairweather is in relation to this matter.

Despite his concerns Mr Harrington persevered with his questioning and effectively challenged the evidence against Cllr. Bailey.

The hearing was adjourned part-heard to another date mutually convenient to all parties where further witnesses will be heard.

I have to admit I never thought  the day would come when I would write an article praising the News Shopper, a South-East London rag, famed more for its hatred of the British National Party than the quality of its articles.

It never misses an opportunity to attack us and so, when it was announced that Tess Culnane was to be the BNP candidate for Lewisham’ mayoral election, it wasted no time in publishing a smear article aimed at revealing her supposedly ‘Nazi’ past.

However, far from harming us, this article is very helpful, for a few reasons.

As nationalists know only too well Lewisham is a very difficult place to leaflet because of its size and the fact that Labour has created no go areas for whites there never mind nationalists. 

I have no idea if there are plans for a leaflet drop in Lewisham, but if there are, then the News Shopper has saved our activists a lot of shoe leather and hospital treatment and has in passing given us thousands of pounds of free publicity.

By writing this article it has brought Mrs Culnane to the attention of Lewisham voters, and therefore anyone reading the News Shopper has no need of a leaflet dropping through a letterbox.

This article will probably not convince many to vote for her, but by the same token, the same could be said for our leaflets. We need not worry if we fail to deliver our material to many parts of Lewisham, because the News Shopper and the hysterical reaction of local politicians are giving us all the publicity we need.

Whatever people think of Mrs Culnane no one can gainsay her bravery.

Tess  is well known in Lewisham from her long years of activisism and is loathed by the communits assorted Trotskyists, Stalinists, and liberal handwringers who infest the National Union of Journalists. In spite of awful personal attacks and Labour inciting violence towards BNP members Tess does not fear walking the streets of Lewisham, unlike a certain female Labour MP who would never dare go into that part of London without a Police escort and a stab-proof vest.

Food for thought.

A few days ago we reported that local politicians were concerned at the rise of the BNP in Hemel Hempstead.

A by-election is to be held in Adeyfield on the 11th of March, the Hemel Gazette reports that (“useful fools”) UAF activists will to be supported by Liberal Democrat MP Richard Grayson, and he will  encourage people to vote against the “far right”  BNP.

Mr Grayson said: “I was pleased to support Unite Against Fascism’s work in Hemel.

“Members of my family were very active in the campaign against fascism in the 1930s.

“I see the campaign against the BNP as being part of that long campaign to defeat racism in this country, and fascism more widely, and I am proud to take part.”

But the BNP claims that one in three households it has visited in Adeyfield has expressed support for the controversial party.

BNP candidate Janet Price said: “About one in three of the people we have visited have been ‘yes’.

“We’ve been getting a very good response from people as we go round.

“Nobody is rude. I’m quite surprised!”

She said they were using the Electoral roll and not going to homes where the names suggested people from an ethnic minority.

“We have a list of names. We won’t go there to aggravate them. It will only cause rows and we don’t want any upset,” she said.

Concerning the campaigners and the UAF she said: “That is their prerogative. We all have our views. It’s a free country.

“We should be able to have our views without causing any hassle.”

MP Mike Penning said: “The BNP desperately need publicity and I don’t want to give them any. I want them to wither on the vine.”

A Facebook group has been started against the BNP in Dacorum and another anti racist music concert is planned.

Mr Grayson may wish to explain why the Limp- Dhims need the help of  the fascist UAF to stop us.

If he is so sure we are the Devil incarnate, he should tell people about his party policies and why they should vote for the Limp-Dhims.

The fact he needs help from a third party indicates to me that he knows the locals don’t agree with him, or his Limp-Dhim policies.

It is well known that the Limp-Dhims want deeper integration by the EU, more immigration, higher taxes, and also want to reduce the age of consent for sexual intercourse, a way to legalise paedophilia by stealth.

How many prospective Limp-Dhim voters would agree with that?

Not many I suspect.

Luckily the UAF will be out causing trouble and the people will be shown who the real fascists are.

Winston Churchill said; “The next Fascists will be the Anti Fascists.”

Do you suffer from pent up rage, do you find yourself annoyed or angry, are you bad tempered and short with others, do you feel uncomfortable or uneasy when strolling peacefully in London?

You probably live in Lewisham…then again it might be Lambeth, or Enfield.

According to the latest statistics, Lewisham is one of the angriest places in London, it came seventh in a survey carried out by ‘The British  Association of Anger Management’. These results are from a study which took place between January and December 2008. Lambeth was top of the league for anger, followed by Enfield.

Inability to handle anger and outrage are highlighted by ‘BAAM’ .                                                                                                                                                  The ‘BAAM’ director Mr Mike Fisher, “I believe issues such as crime, violence, road rage, addiction, eating disorders, depression and many other mental health issues all stem from our inability as a culture to handle or express our feelings, especially those of anger”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           1) What does he mean by ‘culture’, does he mean the artificial construct we have been forced to live with for the last 60 years, or does he mean the ‘culture’ that existed before the ‘multicultural’ hell that passes for ‘culture’ ?

2) I do not recall fifty years ago when we had a relatively stable society, many of us having problems with eating disorders, or the violence we experience these days, or depression, or addiction, or the myriad other imported problems that, if we were allowed to express our feelings without fear of recrimination, would be laid firmly at the door of the traitors that have led us by the nose down the ‘Road to Perdition’.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          I am deliberate in my choice of words in the last sentence, the idea that we must refrain from commenting about how we feel is the fuel that feeds the fire of resentment towards our betrayers, and so feeds the fire of Patriotism.

3) What do these Boroughs have in common?                                                                                                                                                                                                     I refer you to the previous paragraphs!!

Last Saturday in Barking we had an interesting guest accompany us on our regular leafleting session. Francesca Paci, an Italian journalist. She had heard of me!!, and she wanted to learn more about the BNP.

Nationalists will notice there are no references to the BNP being a bunch of racist thugs, and she gave a picture of us that no one in the UK would ever, ever  dare print.

Her reference to the ‘working class’ is relevant, because ‘La Stampa’ is read by the many thousands who work directly or indirectly for Fiat, the Italian carmaker.

There is an unusual quote that Britons may not know,  ”The working class goes to heaven”.

This refers to an Elio Petri’ film, “The working class goes to heaven”, the story of a factory worker fighting for better working conditions. It was made in 1972, during a time that workers were striking against their greedy employers and trying to change Italian politics.

The film interestingly, puts the spotlight on the indifference of the politicians to the working class; the supposed “Socialists” who should have been supporting the workers, sound familiar?

Ms Paci is the London correspondent of ‘La Stampa’, a Turin based daily; the translated article follows.

By Francesca Paci.

Peter works for a marketing company, Dave works for a construction company, Rory was a shop assistant but he lost his job a few months ago. At 11am they are all in front of the subway station in Becontree, remote eastern outskirts of London, about forty men and women between 30 and 50 years too late perhaps for the appointment with their life but punctual with the only party they believe will promise them redemption. A quarter of a century ago, probably they would have marched under the banner of socialism. Today, victims of economic and cultural globalization they show proudly the British National Party’ badge, the British far right party that from a modest 6% started to capitalize on the lost illusions of the Blair’ dreams.

“Come on boys, the elections are not won by sitting in the living room.” Slicked-back hair, square-toed shoes, full cream suit without an overcoat, Richard BARNBROOK, representative of the BNP in the London Assembly, braving cold to galvanize the militants with the red nose like the factory’ workers before dismissal typical of the first Ken Loach’ movies. The day is long but so is the list of families to contact door-to door and mark with an X in favor, opposed, uncertain. In Barking, a historic Labor party’ stronghold, the BNP already occupies 12 of the 51 seats: if on May 6 local elections, gained another 14, it would have the majority and control of the area, an historic victory for the pariahs of Westminster.

“So far, the electoral system has kept us away from the parliament but we are gaining supports on the ground where the people are tired of politicians, Europe, third-world immigrants,” says Giuseppe De Santis, 30-years old, from Catanzaro, the only foreigner in the BNP. Bob, a former window-fitter now unemployed is waiting with the engine running in the Ford Mondeo with loads of leaflets against the Labor Party that has changed the demography in Barking in its favour, (it was once 95% British working class), by assigning thousands of council houses to immigrants. Until a few months ago, the party’ constitution excluded non-whites from membership but then, after the intervention of the court, an Asian candidate, Rajinder Singh, applied for membership, a Sikh that will never forgive Muslims for his father’s death during the partition of ‘India in 1947. De Santis is Italian but there is no risk he will be confused with the Africans, the Pakistanis, the Chinese that through the neighborhood look with barely concealed suspicion BNP activists at work and, in doubt, he speaks only English.

“Racist and fascist, are the shame of the country ‘heats Margaret H., 58, a former maths teacher, weeding in the garden of the chalet in Roycraft avenue. “It’s about time somebody said no to multiculturalism that steals our work and roots” says, like two thirds of his fellow British, the 31 year old bricklayer Ralph. A door slammed in my face it’s worth another that opens: Ken, how to repair the roof and shakes hands like Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, the blonde Corry, Tony Mason, earrings and jeans with the hem lengthened given to him by someone taller than him.

“The BNP is not only appeals to unemployed workers but also to the middle class, skilled employees who share the fear of immigration and the disenchantment for the political class” notes Daniele Albertazzi, an expert on the new right of the University of Birmingham. Excluded from the mainstream media, the extreme right has specialized in door to door and online activism: “The first-past the post’ system psychologically discourage voters from voting a party without a chance, but if 2 members can make it to Brussels and others become councilors people will believe that things can change even at national level. ” In 1983, 83% of Britons believed that Tory and Labor were different, now this belief is shared by just one voter in five. If the BNP would get somewhere near the 30% majority it needs it would be enough to bring Nick Griffin in Westminster. Difficult, admits Albertazzi, but not impossible. Peter and the others believe it: if the working class did not go to heaven after all, the fault is not theirs.

You know an election is coming when MSM start printing lies about the British National Party.

Below this is an article printed in The Times.

I decided to print it in full because I was present when they came to follow us during our campaign and it’s important to read it so you can understand what kind of rubbish they printed.

“British National Party activists are gathered outside the Underground station, smirking and smoking. A black man spits, twice, at their feet. “Yeah, I know who you are,” he says accusingly.

Does that happen a lot? “What’s that?” asks Richard Barnbrook, a big wheel in the party and an elected member of the Greater London Authority. That man just spat at you. “No! Deliberately?” Yes.

“I didn’t notice,” he mumbles, with a little shake of his head. “We actually get a very positive reaction from many older ethnic minority people here.”

Such a claim can soon be tested. Mr Barnbrook parades along the streets in his “trademark” beige suit which, he thinks, “adds to my charisma — everybody knows who I am”. An Asian woman shudders and moves off the pavement when she sees him approaching. A black father grabs his toddler’s hand and guides her to the other side of the road. A group of teenagers ride by on bikes, yelling obscenities. “Maybe I get a few funny looks, every now and then,” Mr Barnbrook concedes cheerfully.

Welcome to Barking, a suburban town that the BNP wants to make its own, where truth — as well as whole sections of the local population — can be just inconvenient obstacles to be sidestepped or swept away.

The decision by Nick Griffin, the BNP leader, to stand as a parliamentary candidate in Barking has inevitably brought the poison of racial politics ever closer to the surface of an already pockmarked eastern outpost of London.

At the general election in 2005, Mr Barnbrook was only 27 votes away from claiming second place ahead of the Tories. In the following year the BNP grabbed nine of the 30 borough councillor posts in the wards that make up the seat. The party secured an average 41 per cent of the vote in seven contested wards, compared with 33 per cent for Labour.

This is why Mr Griffin abandoned the North West, where he was elected as an MEP last year, and elbowed Mr Barnbrook aside for the chance to stand in Barking. It is where the BNP believes that white working-class alienation can be best exploited to gain a first crucial foothold in Westminster.

Margaret Hodge, the Labour MP for almost 16 years and veteran of many battles in a political career stretching over four decades, recognises that she is in the fight of her life. “We face a real threat from the BNP,” she says. “Griffin is here because he thinks he can win.”

She has, in the past, been criticised for relying too heavily on the black and Asian vote. There have been complaints that she has amplified “BNP propaganda” with efforts to address white voters’ sense of unfairness. Last week she called for immigrants to earn the right to benefits or council housing over several years so that “local people” have higher priority.

Ms Hodge’s campaign has not been helped by an often dysfunctional relationship with Jon Cruddas, the MP for neighbouring Dagenham, who argues that Labour’s appeal should be around shared economic interests, not racial identity. But she has been more visible lately than before, opening a campaign office after the council elections and doubling party membership locally to about 400. Although a number of the party’s older councillors have been purged and are threatening to run as independents, Ms Hodge says Labour has been revitalised. “I’m so proud. We have all had to raise our game.”

Differences within Labour have been put aside because they are far outweighed by the need to “lance the boil” of the BNP. “I am really fearful that if they get a hold here, Barking would become a no-go area for the rest of Britain,” Ms Hodge says. “They bring division and violence.”

There has been talk of Conservative and Liberal Democrat candidates pulling out of the election to present a united front against racism. The consensus among them, however, appears to be that this would merely reinforce Mr Griffin’s claims that the Establishment is ganging up on him.

A greater concern for Labour is the candidacy of the Rev George Hargreaves, leader of the Christian Party, who has strong links to the big Pentecostalist churches proliferating in the area and who may shave away significant numbers of black voters from Labour. “I would much rather he was not standing,” Ms Hodge says.

Barking’s menagerie of candidates will also include Frank Maloney, the former boxing promoter, who is standing for the UK Independence Party. He launched his campaign by challenging Mr Griffin to a fist fight and with a poster that spelt Britain as Britian. The BNP enjoys pointing out that error, but should not laugh too loud. Mr Griffin launched his own campaign for Barking last year in Dagenham, having got confused about the constituency boundaries.

There is much to ridicule about a party that has only recently started wearing suits in an effort to be taken seriously. Council meetings here have descended into farce on occasion. Some BNP councillors — the official opposition — have fallen out among themselves, walked out or been thrown out for misconduct.

On the doorstep Mr Barnbrook mixes talk about wheelie bins with a promise to put immigrant families in tower blocks because, he alleges, they got homes in a Labour plot to flood the constituency with non-whites. Has he got any evidence? “Yes, through our freedom of information requests. But I can’t disclose it at this time because of data protection laws.”

Outside his house, easily recognisable by the St George and Union flags, Mr Barnbrook insists — a little unconvincingly — that he is not bitter about Mr Griffin taking over as parliamentary candidate.

“Only Nick has got an ego big enough to deal with sitting alone in the Commons,” he says. “And, anyway, to control the council would be far more prestigious. I’m better with people, I have more charisma.” So how does he get on with his neighbours? “Great,” he replies. “We have black and Muslim families living here. I get on with everybody.”

A few inquiries at homes nearby suggests that this is not quite true. One black man says that he feels uneasy leaving his young family on their own because “a lot of people come to that house, I don’t like the way they look at my children”. A few doors down, a woman says: “I’m scared of them. Please don’t print my name.”

Mr Barnbrook may try to be nice. He clearly believes in the powers of all that charisma and his special suit. The BNP is ridiculous — even pathetic. But when fomenting such fear and loathing, it is not funny.”

For a start I don’t remember anyone spitting at Mr Barnbrook or shaking in fear when they saw us but, as we all know, Rupert Murdoch’ papers are as reliable as the promise of a prostitute to give sex for free.

However the biggest distortion is that they didn’t mention me.

Fiona Hamilton talked to me I told her who I am, what my position in the party is, and why I joined; one of them took several pictures of me handing BNP leaflets.

Clearly they understood that any mention of me would undermine the claim that the BNP as a “racist” party wouldn’t allow an Italian to become an officer.

The whole article is completely biased but as we all know newspapers lies are worth less than the recycled paper  they are printed on.

The only bit of good news is that Margaret Hodge is paying the price for her own misjudgement.

She has allowed her constituency to become swamped with Africans but they clearly prefer to support a black candidate.

We all know people tend to vote along ethnic lines but not a marxist like Mrs Hodge.

You couldn’t make it up.

The chairman opened the meeting stating that these were exciting times for our Party. Never before did the BNP have such potential in the parliamentary and local elections!

Nearly sixty people were in for a display of fine speeches. The legendary veteran Richard Edmonds, the main speaker of the meeting, bestowed on the gathering a beautiful, passionate and emotional rendition of the past and a reality check on what might be the future. He made it clear that our Party was the only hope for our People and we as a movement had to do our utmost to seize this opportunity. It was a pulsating speech of sheer enthusiasm.

Michael Barnbrook, The BNP Sleazebuster and parliamentary candidate for Dagenham and Rainham told the audience that he was going to make them angry and by doing so the good people in the room would donate to the election fund! The former Police Inspector focused on the corruption in the House of Commons and in the GLA. Michael’s plan worked too, as the meeting raised a record branch total of £2400!

After the break two fine, competent Ladies of the British National Party addressed the meeting. First up was the Eltham Parliamentry Candidate Roberta Woods. She stated: “I never expected in my wildest dreams to be a candidate for this Party: however this would be the fourth occasion I am standing.” Roberta made a plea for people to stand in the local elections even if they were only to be as paper candidates and she finished by saying “think what a legacy you would leave for your children if you were to stand as a candidate for this party: you’d be trying to help save your Nation from oblivion”! Roberta’s speech had a profound effect on a number of people who stepped forward to volunteer as candidates after the meeting.

Our last speaker was the very determined and sharp Tess Culnane. She was so passionate and a fine example of the quality of the array of Parliamentary Candidates on show. Tess is standing in Orpington. She made it clear, “I have never been frightened of being a candidate or a member of the British National Party: And why should we be?” Tess explained her role on the GLA. She was investigating slum landlords who converted houses into tiny bedsits and charged a fortune for rent. She also said that “it was a disgrace that part of The Royal Greenwich Park would close due to the Olympics. Tess also asked if anyone had any issues to bring them to her attention and she would do her utmost to investigate them.

The Chairman thanked everyone for their support and closed the meeting.

The New shopper phoned me today and I gave an interview over the phone. The interviewer Mark Chandler was very challenging but obviously this is a big story. London BNP want to stand in all 3 Mayoral elections, Newham, Hackney and Lewsiham. You would think the miserable toe rags in the Lib/Lab/Con parties would welcome a challenge and an increase in choice for the citizens of these three boroughs. No, they cry foul like the undemocratic pigs in troughs they are. Anyway read the full article here

From our friends at Wigan Patriot:

Nick Griffin’s decision to stand against Margaret Hodge really seems to have ruffled her feathers.
She is now to some degree copying BNP policies which she has up to now deemed racist, and recognising the resentment of voters in the unfettered immigration policies of her government and their treatment of British people as seciond class citizens.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1248364/Margaret-Hodge-says-migrants-EARN-benefits-takes-BNP.html

She says it is time “to lance the boil” of growing discontent over the wave of economic migrants entering our country.
No Margaret it is time to “lance the boil” of New Labour your corrupt party which has presided over the most disastrous demographic changes in 10,000 years of British history for purely party reasons, not to mention bankrupting the country while borrowing £billions to give away in foreign aid and the EU.

If you did not see this self inflicted disaster you should have, or were you shielded from people’s views by your draconian PC speech laws which prevented people from speaking out for fear of being criminalised for being “racist”?
To paraphrase Nick Griffin “you can prevent us from speaking out but you can not control the way we think”
Your “vibrant, diverse multicultural society” is turning to bite you on your fat bottom which has been thus far shielded from reality by your champagne socialist lifestyle paid for by us.

You had no mandate to impose these changes on us and have sought to silence us by dubious legal practices and depriving us of our historical right to free speech.
Now you and your slimy party will reap the whirlwind and slither into oblivion.
It seems however you may just survive as the Tories have offered you a lifeline (how ironic a loony lefty like you being offered help by the Tories) It just shows how alike, treacherous and anti British both your parties are.

After the next election and the Tories get in they will be no better as their policies are identical to yours and our support will grow as a result.
The following election will be our BIG breakthrough when we will be able to begin the task of rebuilding our country culturally and financially.

The danger is that civil unrest will lead to conflict between the multiple groups and allegiances you have encouraged here, as you can’t have a united and a diverse country at the same time. They are incompatible at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Let’s hope the people have enough patience to go through the coming hard times until a party,the BNP which has the interests of the British people as a priority comes to power.

In the meantime, even without MPs we are having an influence on government thinking even if it is only an attempt to save their subsidised skins.

A BNP vote is thus proved again to be worth more than a vote for any other party as it really makes them sit up even if we do not get in.

The British National Party has always said, there is no difference between the three main parties and that David Cameron could well lead the NuLabour party because there is no difference between him and Gordon Brown.

It is no surprise therefore to hear that a Labour-Tory pact to keep BNP leader Nick Griffin out of Parliament was mooted by David Cameron.

According to the Evening Standard, the Conservatives considered a radical plan to help arts minister Margaret Hodge fend of the challenge from Mr Griffin in Barking.

Under the proposal, the Tories would have agreed not to put a candidate up against Mrs Hodge in the hope of giving her a better chance of defeating the “far-Right” party leader at the general election.

But the plan was killed off after anti-fascist group Searchlight said that the pact could backfire by fuelling Mr Griffin’s “victim status”.

Why is Mr Cameron so keen to support Margaret Hodge?

Maybe it is because he fears Mr Griffin will uncover some dirty secrets and expose treachery in high places?

Or maybe because in an hung parliament Mr Griffin might have the balance of power?

We would like to know; but at least the fact such a plan was considered means we have a good chance of winning a seat in Parliament.

You couldn’t make it up.
