Dear friend and fellow patriot,
“We’ll do whatever it takes to uphold our right to organise and campaign for our people and for a British Britain.” That is the defiant message that a hall full of BNP activists sent to the Equality Commission (CEHR) bullies from yesterday’s Extraordinary General Meeting, held in Elm Park, Essex.
Right from the start, the CEHR legal attack had two key aims: First, to use and abuse the law to tie us up in expensive litigation, so as to drain our coffers of money we need for a drive for the greatest breakthrough in the history of British politics.
For a Labour-created quango to use taxpayers’ money in an attempt to destroy the opposition political party that Labour hate and fear above all others is of course a scandal, but in a way it is also a badge of honour for us, though one that really has come at a price.
The fight is not over quite yet!
Even now the cost isn’t over, for we still have to pay our lawyers to appear for us at the hearing in the first week in March, and then to argue to try to reduce the costs which CEHR’s huge legal team will do everything in their power to extract from us. So many thanks to all those who have donated to help us wage this legal war, but please don’t be surprised when we have to ask for more.
Their second aim was even more vicious: Advised by Searchlight, CEHR believed that the BNP full of dinosaurs and unrealistic cranks who would refuse to come to terms with legal, financial and political reality. By forcing us to change our Constitution they really did think that the party would tear itself apart in a factional fight to the death between ‘realists’ and ‘fundamentalists’.
You may well have seen the programme ‘Young, Angry and White’ on Channel 4 on Friday. At the end of it, the central figure – either an actor or an idiot – announced that our move to roll with the punches and survive had made him decide to switch his support from the BNP to the National Front.
Isn’t it amazing? Our enemies made a whole programme, and gave it prime time and high visibility, just two days before this vote. The whole Channel 4 machine mobilised to try to give ammunition to Searchlight’s little clique of plants and useful idiots within our Party, and to worry our honest but potentially gullible ‘hardliners’, in the hope of provoking a huge and damaging internal row.
The EGM was an unqualified success…
Well, the programme wasn’t much good, and neither was their pitifully see-through plot. Sunday’s meeting had an almost tangible sense of unity. Proceedings were opened with a few words and a prayer by the Rev. West of the Christian Council of Britain. The audience of more than 300 listened intently as National Organiser Eddy Butler explained how the day would run, and then party leader Nick Griffin explained the development of the case and the key proposals for constitutional change.
There was also an extensive, no-holds barred Questions & Answers session, in which everyone who wanted was able to raise concerns or get uncertainties clarified. This was followed by debate proper, with proposers and seconders for and against the motion, after which proceedings were thrown open for anyone who wished to speak from the floor. A succession of members of the audience came up to speak, time and time again urging the meeting to vote to approve the motion.
Nationalist veteran Richard Edmonds made a particularly powerful point, quoting an article written by John Tyndall in 2004, in which the BNP’s founder stated that, while it would have been wrong to change the membership criteria back then, if the time came when it became a legal necessity, it would be a different matter. “That time is now”, urged Mr. Edmonds at the close of his emotionally charged speech in favour.
A powerful mixture of passion and hard-nosed realism dominated this section of the meeting, with the speakers from the floor unanimously – if often reluctantly – in favour of change and doing whatever is necessary to get ourselves out of CEHR’s legal costs death-trap.
The EGM boosted spirits because of the display of Party unity. Our enemies will be kicking themselves that they had unified us to such an extent!
The final vote, with more than 300 present, saw a forest of hands in favour of the motion, with only five voting against and four abstaining. Level-headed maturity has won the day – as we always knew it would.
Immediately after the event, I did a string of TV interviews, with for once uncensored BNP honesty going out live on BBC and Sky, and with more really positive coverage going out on most of the later news broadcasts all through the evening.
While I was doing that, dozens of our most committed activists answered a call from Richard Barnbrook to give another hour to help blanket the best part of two entire big wards in Barking and Dagenham. Very special thanks to the North Western activists, especially the Merseyside team, for staying so late and giving so much shoe-leather. I’m really proud to represent them directly in Brussels, what a team!
Of course, our enemies, although clearly shaken by our unity, discipline and dedication, won’t give up and go home. In fact, they will now step up their propaganda about alleged unhappiness over the decision, quoting ‘unnamed sources’ to the effect that many of our members are worried that we might be going ’soft’ or frightened of Simon Woolley’s proposed Operation Black Vote ‘takeover’ of the party by hostile infiltrators.
They really should save their breath! That we’re not going ’soft’ was shown to millions of viewers who will have seen the report of us ejecting a lying Times journalist from the press conference. That’s not the actions of a snivelling PC party, but of an organisation that has had enough of being lied about. We can’t stop them lying, but we can and will stop letting them in to abuse our trust and make money out of our co-operation.
Our principles remain: WE WILL ALWAYS BE A BRITISH NATIONALIST PARTY!
And as will become clear to everyone who studies the new document, our Principles remain, and remain central to our party organisation. And a whole battery of safeguards have been introduced to ensure that would-be hostile infiltrators – impeccably Anglo-Celtic ones at least as much as any of Simon Wooley’s crew – hit a well-constructed brick wall that will shut them away from the levers of power and influence.
This will in no way involve racial discrimination, well-meaning members of legally settled ethnic minorities will indeed be allowed to join. Rajinder Singh, the brave Sikh and veteran anti-Islamist who appeared in our Party Political Broadcast as far back as 2005, and who has written many articles for Freedom, will be the first, but not the last. But this will not alter the underlying character, and will certainly not alter or dilute the core values, of the British National Party.
We continue to avow the right of the indigenous British to be recognised, accorded our full rights as an indigenous people, and to organise ourselves and our non-indigenous friends to fight politically and legally to secure and defend those rights.
The fact that a few of those non-indigenous friends (let’s be realistic, there is not going to be a flood) will henceforth be card-carrying members instead of watchers from the sidelines, will change very little. Except that, as some of our less bigoted and more intelligent opponents are already complaining, our enemies will have far more trouble making the ‘racist’ tag stick against us.
Times are changing, and fantastic opportunities are unfolding for our Cause!
The great irony of all this is that, while defending our principles and preserving party unity has cost us a great deal of money, the long-term result of CEHR’s attempt to destroy us is going to be to break the big racist club with which we have so often been beaten in the past. Our enemies will still try to use it, but it will never be as effective as it used to be. They’ve broken their most effective weapon!
The final draft of the new Constitution will be sent, as Judge Collins ordered, to CEHR this Tuesday. They then have exactly one week to digest it and to notify us with the full detail of any remaining objections they have. We in turn then have a week to decide what to do about such objections.
No doubt their plan was to use this process to demand a further series of changes, including vexatious ones with no real legal merit, so as to keep in place the recruitment ban (initially offered voluntarily as the only way to avoid the risk of a ruinously expensive and almost wholly academic legal battle about our status under a law that is about to be changed, but from the last hearing onwards imposed by the Judge) and to keep dragging us into court.
By approving changes to the Constitution designed, in the words of our lawyers, “to give the Chairman the power to turn on a sixpence”, the EGM has blocked that plan. Unless the Powers That Be are prepared openly to break their own laws and ignore fundamental tenets of the whole legal process, this will mean that the next court hearing should be the final one.
Time to mobilise for the forthcoming General Election - ACTIVISM AND DONATIONS NEEDED!
If that is the case, then by March 9th CEHR will have been forced to concede that our new Constitution will indeed be legal even under the fanatically egalitarian terms of the forthcoming Equality Laws, and the block on our recruiting new members will be lifted. The only consolation that Trevor Phillips will have will be the court costs that his small army of lawyers have run up and which they will do their damnedest to persuade the Judge to pile on us.
But we will worry about that if or when it happens. For the time being, with this hugely time- and energy-consuming business effectively behind is, we are now able to go back to the General Election campaign that CEHR and their Labour paymasters worked so hard – and have now failed – to derail.
So I am asking every reader, including you, personally, to throw yourself into our campaign for the ultimate breakthrough, and to rack up record BNP votes as a further signal to the corrupt and failed old parties that their time is nearly over.
Most of all, I am asking for new activists or for people to do more with me and all our brave candidates, knocking doors, handing over leaflets and manning High Street stalls. It is this face-to-face, personal contact that is winning over hearts and minds and building our party. The more we do, the faster we will win, but we can only do more if we have people like you helping more than ever before.
If you can help more in this way, please contact your local Organiser and get to work, and I look forward to seeing you on one of our National Days of Action or the forthcoming run of pre-election regional recruitment evenings.
Alternatively, if you are not able to give us the most valuable gift of activism, you can still do your bit by giving some of the money that will pay for our election addresses, the back-room organisational work and all the other costs of running the most successful and professional nationalist political machine in British history. One way or another, everybody can and must do something, or do something more. I am confident that everyone will rise to the challenge – this is a great team, and I’m glad that we’re in it together.
I fully understand we have been appealing for donations with some intensity lately, but the Party would have been in trouble had we not. We still have a court showdown with the Equalities Commission looming on March 9th and a General Election shortly after that, so it is doubly important to refill our Party coffers and start to build our election war chest. So if you can afford any gift, no matter how small, use the donation options below. Thank you. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS, RULE BRITANNIA!
