We Nationalists have known for years why the MSM attacks the BNP at every opportunity, because the National Union of Journalist (NUJ) imposes diktats on all journalists to report only negative stories about us.
So no one will be surprised to hear that the NUJ has launched a website aimed at challenging the fascist politics of hate called, ‘Reporting the BNP’.
The website tells journalists to “scrutinise people from all parties” and states; “Our job is also to tell the truth, which is why we have provided this resource for journalists covering the BNP in the course of their work.” (Oooohhhh pick on us why don’t you, no fascists in NuLab or the UAF then eh!!!)
The website includes background information on the party, its past, policies and key figures and explains “why the BNP is not like any other party” (too true it is not like any other party,it is honest about what it stands for, unlike the “musicalchair” party).
Amidst the diatribes on the website is a piece by Daily Mirror journalist Tom Parry on his experience of reporting on the BNP’ for his paper’s “Hope not Hate” campaign.
He said: “The first difficulty of reporting on the BNP is obtaining a useable comment from the party’s spokesman and deputy chairman Simon Darby.
“In my experience, a conversation with Mr Darby is unlike any with a mainstream party’s head of communications or press office…In the first days of the “Hope not Hate” bus tour – when he was still prepared to answer my calls Darby would habitually turn the request for a statement on something one of the party’s prominent members had said into a personal attack.”
Launching the ‘Reporting the BNP’ website today, NUJ general secretary Jeremy Dear said: “Challenging the fascist politics of hate is a job for every fair-minded person in our society, not just a task for committed activists.
“NUJ members are proud to play our part in exposing the myths on which modern Nazis seek to gain power.
“Those journalists who may still believe that the rise of the BNP doesn’t affect them should consider the experience of Dominic Kennedy, investigations editor of The Times.
“He was brutally manhandled by BNP ‘security guards’ who expelled him from a press conference for the unspeakable crime of saying things their leaders didn’t like.
“Strange behaviour from an organisation which claims it wants to ‘remove legal curbs on freedom of speech’. BNP leader Nick Griffin even praised his stormtroopers by saying of their thuggery: ‘That’s not the actions of a snivelling PC party, but of an organisation that has had enough of being lied about.’
“That’s the true face of the BNP’s ‘freedom of expression’ policy’.”(No you pratt, the reason pinky/gingerDickheadDom was ejected was because he had been refused entry before the EGM, get the facts right you dhimmy, I was there)
Nationalists need to look at this website and see the extent to which the NUJ is a threat to free speech and democracy.
The good news for us, and the bad for the “Ginger/Pink Minger” is that the NUJ is in a parlous financial state.
We reported in the past that it will hold a conference every 18 months instead of every year and it needs to rent out part of its headquarters:

It is also increasing membership subs by between 8p and 15p a week.
Lay delegates to the NUJ’s annual conference last November took the decision and the rise for NUJ members will come into force on 1st March.
General-Secretary Jeremy Dear, said: “Nobody likes an increase in subscriptions but this small increase is unavoidable if we are to keep the union financially healthy.
“We’ve worked hard to reduce running costs, and our staff volunteered to seek no pay rise as a much-appreciated contribution to the secure running of the NUJ, so that it can continue to help and support those fighting for jobs, defending their terms and conditions and advancing journalistic standards.”
It is the first time there has been an increase in NUJ subs for two years.
The NUJ has 37,700 members of which 28,600 are paying members.
The new subscription charges (anally) are as follows:
Grade one (local newspapers)- £150 to £154.16
Grade two (freelance) – £189 to £195.24
Grade (national newspapers and broadcasters) – £260 to £267.80
The NUJ need to be financially healthy to carry on interfering in our democratic process.
It’s upsetting for the NUJ, but it might convince people that MSM are untrustworthy and what they print is politically (Common Purpose) led.
We can only hope that this plan to expose the BNP increases speed of decline in the dead tree press’ and they bankrupt themselves.
