Never before in the history of the British National Party started in 1982 has the expression ‘playing by the rules’ been so relevant. In the heat of politics, people very often forget that, regardless of personal views, we must always stick to fairplay and proper behaviour. The Romans had another expression: Res, Non Verba (Facts, Not Words). When we face the courts of justice and the courts of public opinion we must remember that there are many rules that we might unwittingly ignore, sometimes simply because we are not forcefully aware of the entire legal framework. Whatever justifications we might think that we have, the said justifications could even work against us. Sometimes remorse or publicly expressed regret can be used as evidence of guilt and wrongdoing.
When I joined the British National Party almost ten years ago, I made a conscious decision to play by the rules. I was painfully aware of the fact that individual weaknesses can lead to the demise of an entire organization. During the recent nomination process for the leadership election, I stood outside the said process with the aim of being absolutely impartial to protect something that is more precious than any individual political ambitions. Before all individual political ambitions, the British National Party comes first because without a British National Party our hopes and aspirations would be dead in the water.
I do not criticize any of my fellow party members. They all had their own individuals reasons, their own individual justifications, to do what they did and to adopt the positions they have adopted. But, as I have stated before, reasons and justifications come a cropper when confronted with facts that contradict them. So this is a time to be reasonable and to be patient for, in the end, facts will speak for themselves. After the Storm, we will have to pick up the pieces to continue fighting for what we believe.
I have also become aware of the fact that personal circumstances, very private circumstances, are stopping some of our peoples from performing to the best of their abilities. When things go right, we all congratulate ourselves. When things go wrong, it is the time for understanding and it is the time to redouble our efforts to keep the family together.
