Chris Roberts at a 2009 meeting of the BNP Bromley and Lewisham branch.
Chris Roberts a native of Downham gives us the history of his home patch, and the enrichment his old stamping ground has benefitted from. Downham was once a stronghold of nationalism in the 70s but now is nothing more than a sink estate for welfare scroungers and the exported detritus of Lewisham.
I know Downham well, I remember the Tavern with what seemed to be the longest bar in the world, ( I was quite young at the time and memory may be failing me) and the many happy evenings spent in conversation with fellow patriots intent on preserving our way of life. So this video brought to mind happy and simpler times, but it also sent my blood pressure through the roof.
What have we lost in the intervening years?
We have lost all that was good about our country before the derided concept of PC and multi cultural diversity became the norm. The fallow field of late 70s Downham became the rich soil in which the seeds of decay were sown by those intent on the destruction of the white working class by dint of importing non ethnics. If you wish to visit Downham now I would advise that you drive through it, and do not even think of pausing for a pint in the Tavern unless you wish to risk life and limb.
The conquest of Downham is just the tip of the iceberg, the biggest part of the plan is well and truly hidden. But it is coming to your area very soon.
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.
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!!
I found this leaflet on my doormat and was just about to consign it to the recycling pile when I noticed a hand-written note attached, which read: ‘Roberta, I found this in a Greenwich library, please pass on’. It was unsigned and I assume had been directed to me in my capacity as a representative of the British National Party in Greenwich.
The leaflet is headed ‘Mama Afrika Family Association – Putting the needs of young refugees and asylum seekers first’. Amongst their services they claim to ‘Refer, link and signpost to relevant services e.g. Health, Schools and Colleges, Housing, Immigration, Social Services, Welfare and Benefits’.
Mama Afrika also offers practical support ‘writing CV’s and filling in welfare benefit and other relevant forms’ and ‘to improve and support the lives of young refugees and asylum seekers in Greenwich and Lewisham Boroughs’ However, the name of the association would indicate that it’s services are aimed, not at all refugees and asylum seekers, but specifically those of African origin.
I can only assume that my informant was shocked by the blatant ‘racism’ of this leaflet and perhaps more so that it was available through a public library. Maybe they were also struck by such double standards in a public body promoting such an exclusive self-interest group at a time when the British National Party is being persecuted for attempting to do just the same for the indigenous British people of this country.
While I can understand Mama Afrika wanting to put the interests of their specific racial group first, I would claim the same right for my own racial group. Why is it only us, the indigenous British people, who are accused of ‘racism’ when we seek to address the concerns of our own people, and do this, not with government funds (assuming Mama Afrika is funded by Greenwich/Lewisham boroughs) but with the small £5 and £10 contributions of our own supporters?
Bromley & Lewisham BNP recently held a meeting where the guest speakers were Chris Roberts, Bob Bailey and Richard Barnbrook.
We would like to thank Bromley & Lewisham BNP for making the following videos available to us. In the first Chris Roberts gives a brief talk on how we can make use of our elected representative on the GLA by writing in with issues we would like raised. There is a phone number at the end which you can use to contact Chris.
In the second video, London Regional Organiser, Cllr Bob Bailey, discusses the importance of people becoming active and getting involved in taking the party forward.
Last night twenty members and activists attended Bromley & Lewisham’s monthly branch meeting. Tess Culnane, the BNP’s Downham by-election candidate, and Chris Roberts, former London Region Organiser and No. 1 London Euro list candidate in 2004 were the main speakers.
Tess opened the meeting with a moving talk about how the politicians’ beloved multi-racial society had impacted her, and her family. She also talked of all the other British families who had experienced tragedies as a direct consequence of the malign and discredited policy of multi-racialism.
Chris Roberts, who was born and grew up in Downham, spoke about the origins of the Downham estate, and gave a brief history of nationalism in the area. He also talked of the centrality of mass immigration to all the acute problems now facing Britian. He particularly emphasised the sheer insanity of a policy which seeks to introduce disparate peoples – many of whom are the subject of inter-ethnic strife in their own countries – into a previously settled, racially homogeneous European nation in the expectation of creating a harmonious society!
Literature sales and collection raised £180.
The next branch meeting will be middle/end of May.
On Thursday 19 February the British National Party polled 10.6% in Downham ward of the London Borough of Lewisham. The by-election was called due to the resignation of two of the three Liberal Democrat councillors. This is very much a Lib Dem ward.
Downham was built as social housing in the 1920s by the London County Council, and is a sister estate to Dagenham. Traditionally, this has been a white working class area. Our candidate, Tess Culnane, who lived on the estate for 15 years, originally contested the ward in November 2002 and polled 20% after a hard fought campaign in which the Tory vote collapsed. However, in the intervening six years there has been an enormous demographic shift which has resulted in approximately only 60% of the electorate being indigenous British. Downham is simply not what it was just six years ago, and serves to warn us where London is rapidly heading.
Despite the demographic head wind, Bromley & Lewisham activists mounted what could be described as “Campaign Lite”: two inexpensive leaflets were distributed and parts of all six polling districts were canvassed. Thursday’s 10.6% poll replicated our Greater London Assembly vote of early May last year.
