JUST 55 days after the British National Party made history by having its first representative elected to the Greater London Assembly, the

Party re-wrote the history books once again when for the first time ever, it beat the Labour Party in a parliamentary by-election.The excellent BNP candidate Tim Rait, together with his dedicated team of local activists, worked tirelessly during the truncated two and a half week campaign and were rewarded with a result that gained even

more media coverage than that of our GLA success.It wasn’t just the fact that the BNP had beaten Labour which made the headlines, but that in a true-blue Tory constituency there had been so many people prepared to support a political party which they are constantly being told not to vote for.The reason for this was that Tim Rait and his team got out to meet the voters and the true face of the BNP was seen by the public - that of a party made up of ordinary British people worried about the future of their country.

THE British National Party believes in telling the truth, even if it is

sometimes uncomfortable to hear or offensive to those who would rather bury their heads in the sand than face real problems in our society.But while we often pass quite critical comment on the impact of immigration, multi-culturalism and alien religions on the indigenous people of our lands, we have no animosity towards immigrants, their descendants or the followers of non-native religions.Nor do we intend to encourage others to feel such animosity, or believe that

anything we have to say is likely to ‘stir up hatred’ against anyone. In fact, we believe that by providing a peaceful and Constitutional outlet for the anger and the frustration felt by millions of our people over the undemocratic transformation of our country by our political masters, the BNP actually defuses tensions.Where there is ‘hate’ we seek to turn it into righteous anger and political action against the only people who deserve to be hated - the politicians who use our taxes to turn our country into a place where we often feel like strangers in our own land.

THE soaring price of petrol has exposed the nonsense of

Labour and the Tories’ so-called green fuel tax measures.The fuel tax escalator, introduced by Tory Ken Clarke, and backed by Blair until the brave battle by truck-ers in 2000 forced him to drop it, and now brought back by Brown, was supposed to cut wastage of fuel by raising prices at the pumps. It nearly drove a lot of small transport firms out of business, but never affected fuel consumption nationally.Now global market commodity speculators are hiking fuel prices far beyond anything envisaged by Tory and Labour Governments. Petrol was 82p a litre when the people cried

More local shops andbetter public transport

That’s the way to beat the fuel crisis‘halt’ in September 2000. Now it’s over £1.20 and yet car mileage has hardly fallen.This current fuel price rise has proved that if prices go up, ordinary families suffer, but they don’t buy less fuel. That’s because they don’t have a choice, which is the problem.Decades of under-investment in public transport, from rural bus routes to rail infrastructure, have left millions of Britons with little alterna-tive but to use their cars to get about. Added to this decades of steady social disintegration and rising crime have made millions of Britons afraid to use anything else to get their chil-dren to and from school or them-selves about after dark.Additionally the replacement of small

family shops by giant supermarket chains has increased dependence on “just in time” mass shipment of goods by the supermarket truck fleets from giant central depots to the superstores that devoured and destroyed the traditional High Street. Giant superstores that are themselves usually “out of town” and therefore can only be reached by car! In the long run, car use and fuel con-sumption does need to be reduced to what we can produce ourselves - because, again in the long run, that’s the only fuel we can count on getting. The answer is to lay the groundwork for a steady move away from the car economy by a joined-up set of poli-cies that include better public trans-port, safer streets and more small shops in walking distance of homes.Some fuel waste can be stamped out with targeted measures aimed at the culprits, but not by impoverishing ordinary families and driving small transport firms out of business.Whilst small truckers should be entitled to tax rebates on fuel, similar to the farmers’ “red diesel” scheme, licenses for new gas-guzzling Chel-sea tractor SUVs should be available only to rural users who could demon-strate an actual need.Making the streets safer will negate the need for young families to feel they must buy them because they are safer in a giant off road vehicle. Yet again, only the British National Party offers long-term, joined-up thinking on policy, not the spin and sound-bites which pass for policy making in the Establishment Parties, Govern-ment and Opposition alike.

WALKING TO SCHOOL: Our streets would be safer so mothers wouldn’t need gas-guzzling Chelsea tractor SUVs because they feel safer in a giant off road vehicle.

DESPITE the heavy costs related to last year’s floods

and a record fine for lying about its performance to the regulator, Seven Trent Water still manage to make a whopping £469.5million profit last year, rise of 15.8%.Thames Water, Britain’s biggest water company with 8.5million cus-tomers, saw its profits jump by more than a third to £419.2million.Water companies in Britain today are solely driven by the need to post a profit for their shareholders and the service they provide to their custom-ers is of secondary concern and must be tailored by whatever means neces-sary to ensure a maximum return.In April, Severn Trent was fined £35.8m by the regulator, Ofwat, for “deliberately mis-reporting” some key customer service data and using it to justify increases in household bills.Then last month the company, which is the fourth largest privately owned water supplier in the world, was fined another £2million for lying about water leaks.Ofwat has stipulated the cost of the fine must be borne by sharehold-ers and not passed on to customers but quite how it will regulate this remains to be seen as Severn Trent customers already face the prospect of higher water bills from 2010 when soaring energy costs are factored into the next pricing round.Despite the £38.5million fine, Severn Trent’s share price rose 28p to £13 as investors breathed a sigh of relief

because the £2million fine for lying about water leaks was significantly below the £56million valuation of the charge in the company’s accounts.It’s all a sordid state of affairs and illustrates just why the British National Party would bring the pro-vision of water to our people back under Government control. That is because it is an essential service and supplying it to every household in Britain at the lowest possible cost is the duty of any elected Government. It is what we pay our taxes for - not for bailing our failing banks like Northern Rock.

Water provision should be a Government duty

PROFIT OR SERVICE: When a private company is paying a dividend to share-holders there’s not much left in the pot to repair leaking water mains.

ONE of Britain’s biggest energy suppliers is EoN which is a

German company. It reported a 42% increase in profits for the year ended 2007.EDF Energy plc, which owns London Electricity, Seeboard and SWEB, is a French com-pany. Npower plc is owned by the German company RWE, and Scottish Power is owned by Iberdrola of Spain.The British National Party would bring all our essential services back under Government control. Private companies shouldn’t be making a profit out of the vital resources that our people can’t do without.

Who owns our energy?

Mayor’s take on diversity ignores the wishes of 130,000 LondonersRICHARD Barnbrook, the

British National Party’s repre-sentative on the London Assembly, keeps mayor, Boris Johnson, on

his toes with a series of questions each week covering a wide range of topics.Typical enquiries concern pensioner

welfare, where funding goes and tackling crime, but last month Richard asked a question concern-ing the outrageous ban on British National Party members joining the Met-ropolitan Police.Richard asked Johnson:

“With reference to the Mayor’s call for greater diversity within the Met-ropolitan Police force, and with ref-erence to the electoral support the BNP has within London, does the Mayor support the blanket ban on BNP members joining the Metropoli-tan Police Force and will he demand that respect for diversity in London extends to respect both for white Londoners and the 130,000 London-ers who voted for the BNP?”The mayor replied:“I support the current ban on BNP members joining the Metropolitan Police Service.”Not much diversity there then.

BNP councillors fight back against church’s anti-democratic stanceWHEN Paul and Lynda

Cromie, two British National Party councillors for Queensbury ward in Bradford, asked their council’s Members’ Support Unit to book them a hall for their monthly surgery, they had no idea about the drama that was to unfold.MSU Administration Officer Debbie Williams, booked them the Clayton Heights Methodist church and noti-fied them that the booking had been accepted. But two days later she received a message from the trustees of the church saying that the booking was made in error. When asked to elaborate on this the church responded:“The church trustees have a policy of not accepting bookings from the

BNP. The lady who took the book-ing was new and made a mistake in accepting it.”But the church might just have to pay a price for its anti-democratic stance. It was expecting a £20,000 handout from the council but now the BNP councillors have voiced concern over this payment being made.Paul Cromie told Freedom:“The church has refused permission for two councillors to hold surger-ies on its premises. In doing so it is denying the electorate access to their democratically-elected representatives which contravenes the protocol set out for applying for the funding in the first place, bearing in mind recipients of the money are supposed to serve the whole community.”PAUL CROMIE: Denied surgery.

LYNDA CROMIE: BNP councillor.

Racism only cuts one way and that’s why Ben’s murder wasn’t

reported as ‘racist’?

VICTIM: Ben Kinsella

LAST month 16 year-old Ben Kinsella became the 17th teen-

ager to be killed in London this year after being fatally stabbed in York Way, in Holloway.Although the police said that they were looking for four black youths for the murder, not one of the tele-vision news programmes or any of our newspapers reported the crime as a racist attack.The youngster was stabbed eleven times in a brutal assault, but the only discussion within the media concerned how to tackle knife crime

and understanding gang culture.Now what if it had been a sixteen year-old black lad who had been stabbed eleven times by four white youths? Can you imagine what the headlines would have been as every White Briton would have been made to feel guilty for what had taken place.In Britain today, racism only cuts one way. That’s because racism is being used as a gag by the Establishment to keep the Brit-ish people from voicing their con-cerns over immigration and our multicultural society.

BNP councillors hold down parking chargesTHE British National Party’s

two new councillors on Amber Valley Council swung the vote against increasing town centre car parking charges in Heanor.The vote wasn’t simply a show of hands but each councillor had to say where he stood on the issue. BNP councillors Lewis Allsebrook and Cliff Roper, said that shoppers should be encouraged to use the town centre car park and called for parking

charges to be abolished altogether to give the town’s shops a level playing field with Tesco.Eleven Tory councillors voted for the increased charges while ten Labour councillors voted against so it was a good job that the two British National Party councillors were there to make up those crucial votes to help local shopkeepers and save the people of Amber Valley from being taxed even more when they park in Heanor.

BNP trounces Labour and the Tories in South Hornchurch

BNP builds support in Dagenham with a 25% vote in Chadwell Heath

CAMPAIGN workers in Dagenham were over the

moon when British National Party candidate James Webb came from nowhere to claim 25% of the vote in Chadwell Heath.It was the first time the Party had fought the ward in the Dagenham parliamentary constituency and the 564 votes is a significant electoral base to build upon in the ward in the run-up to the General Election.Local Labour MP Jon Cruddas, must have had a sleepless night after seeing the Labour vote drop by 7.4% from May 2006, and any forlorn hope that a UKIP candidate might take votes from the BNP was also soon lost after their vote dropped 8% on the last time the ward was contested.There was the usual interference

from third parties seeking to under-mine the BNP campaign.Roger Gayler, vicar of St Marks parish, issued an open letter calling on people not to vote for the BNP. Galyer was appointed a London leader by Ken Livingstone and was doing his bit under the cover of his church to shore up the Labour vote.“This goes against the democratic process,” Bob Bailey, the leader of the British National Party group

of 12 councillors on Barking and Dagenham, told Freedom.“This was a keenly contested elec-tion between the three main parties here and it’s unfair that there should be interference from those not taking part but trying to effect the result.”The Tories won the seat, overturn-ing a small Labour majority, but on the night it was the BNP that had the most to celebrate for making a real impact on the ward.

that helps makes up the Dagen-ham parliamentary constituency on the very same evening, when Antony Steff secured over 20% of the vote and came second in South Hornchurch.Once again it was the first time the BNP had contested the ward, so to come from nowhere and beat Labour and the Tories was a great achieve-ment.The election could also have been witness to the start of the demise of the Havering Residents, Group. Now

thoroughly discredited on the coun-cil for propping up the Tories, voters turned against them and their poll share dropped to just 12%.There was another derisory vote for UKIP with their unfortunate candi-date receiving just 64 votes which was just 2.6%.

JUST 24 hours after Abu Qatada was released on bail from Long

Lartin prison, he published a book urging Muslims to commit terror-ist attacks in the West. Posted in an English translation on the Internet, it repeatedly claims that fighting a jihad (holy war) is obliga-tory for all Muslims and urges them to ‘terrorise’ non-believers. Abu Qatada was set free after his deportation to Jordan, where he is wanted on terror charges, was blocked by a judge. He arrived in Britain 14 years ago on a forged passport, and was granted asylum the following year.

How our Olympic Committee sees

British cultureHIP-HOP hoodies are to

represent British ‘national identity’ at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.Urban dance squad, ZooNation, will be seen gyrating to hip-hop music in a segment of the ceremony intended to celebrate British culture.Rap-on-zel, Jaxx and DJ Spinderella will rap about life in an inner-city tower block at the close of the games when the next host city has eight minutes to put on a performance to enthuse everyone about the next Olympics.ZooNation have recently been appearing in a West End musical about gangsters and drug-dealing, and although the visual language of hip-hop belongs to America, the London Olympic Committee says the performance will reflect London’s vibrancy and diversity.

And the cost to the British taxpayers for putting on this “vibrant and

“P*** OFF!”Lib-Dem won’t discuss the

effect ofimmigrationon housing

MEMBERS from Nottingham BNP joined a packed public

gallery to hear a full council meet-ing of Rushcliffe Borough council discuss the feasibilty of a new 6000 home “eco-town” at RAF Newton.

The infrastructure required including the widening of the A46, and the pro-vision of schools and medical centres was all discussed but no one men-tioned why a new town was needed.Recent figures revealed that one-third of the extra demand for accommoda-tion was down to immigration so when Fleur White from Nottingham BNP broached the subject with Lib-Dem councillor Susan Bennett from Ruddington, she was shocked by the response.Bennett refused to discuss the effect of immigration on housing stating that she liked “living in a multira-cial society”. She then told Fleur to “p*** off”.“Such behaviour tells us much about the Lib-Dems in particular and the intolerance of the establishment politicians to ideas outside their politically correct sphere,” Fleur told Freedom.

SUSAN BENNETT: Not very liberal. Blears recruits council spies to keep the lid on racial tension

HAZEL BLEARS: Worried about riots.

THE Communities Secretary, Hazel Blears, has admitted

that Britain’s multi-racial society is falling apart and that new des-perate and draconian methods of surveillance are needed to keep the lid on racial tension hotspots.Launching the Labour Government’s new “Tension Monitoring Scheme” she said:“Challenges to cohesion do exist - this might be between different ethnic or faith groups or new migrants and longer-term residents - but things can be done to address problems at the earliest opportunity and stop things escalating.”Labour are setting up Tension Moni-toring Committees (TMC) to try to cut the risk of riots or disturbances in the aftermath of terrorist outrages or outbreaks of local racial trouble.The TMC will report on the behaviour and attitudes of local residents. Information will be collected by commu-nity workers, neighbourhood wardens and local councillors

before being considered by the moni-toring committees run by town halls.Dismissing concerns that the moni-toring committees are all about spying and surveillance by local councils on residents, Blears said The committees will just record “qualita-tive community intelligence” along-side reports of race incidents, gang and turf conflicts, disputes between neighbours, complaints about noise, and examples of low local trust, including low trust in politicians.Town halls will get an extra £50 mil-lion to help them set up and run the new tension monitoring committees which will include representatives from housing authorities, schools, the NHS, the fire brigade, commu-nity workers and faith groups.

SWING TOTHE BNP

by Martin Wingfield

POLITICAL pundits always say that the British National Party

only makes progress in Labour seats where the traditional ‘Old Labour’ vote switches to the BNP.Well that theory went out the window in the Christchurch ward by-election for Bexley Council when the BNP took 17% of the vote and all of it appeared to come from the Tories.Our candidate was Michael Barnbrook, a Metropolitan Police officer of 30 years standing who had been stationed at Bexleyheath Police Station. He attracted the media spotlight as the champion

of exposing parliamentary sleaze, when he was instrumental in securing investigations into financial irregularities concerning three Members of Parliament and was responsible for reporting Old Bexley Conservative MP Derek Conway, to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards for his misappropriation of taxpayers’ money.Michael’s stand against corrupt practices at Westminster, on behalf of the man in the street went down well in Bexley. Christchurch was being fought by the BNP for the first time and it was far from being one of the BNP’s best seats in the borough yet we were able to win more than 400

votes and push the Labour Party into 4th place.The Tory vote dropped by 16%, almost unbelievable in today’s political climate when the Government is on the ropes and its supporters deserting it in droves. The Labour vote held up surprisingly well falling by just 5% and this appears to have gone to the Liberal Democrats.The Christchurch ward result was an excellent one for the British National Party and that is why it has warranted its own page in Freedom. Polling 17% of the vote at the first time of asking in a Conservative stronghold shows that the BNP has appeal across the political spectrum and with a good candidate and a good campaign can take on all-comers.I’M WITH YOU: A London cabbie pledges his support to Michael Barnbrook.

I’M WITH YOU: A Tory supporter says this time he’s voting BNP.

WHILST ordinary British families struggle as they are

hit by rising petrol, food and mort-gage payments, the people respon-sible for them are doing very well, thank you.The international super-rich coterie of speculators, spivs and sweatshop magnates are spending as never before and that’s because they have got even richer on the back of making the rest of us poorer.They can afford to indulge their wives with such luxuries as Burberry hand-bags as evidenced by that company announcing that it has sold several hundred of its top range handbags at £11,000 each.At the same time the absurdly expen-sive Italian brand, Bottega Veneta, announced that its sales to clients were up 31% in the first quarter, whilst

Prada profits rose 66% last year.Labour loves these parasites, (espe-cially if they donate to Party funds) and that’s why it gives them tax breaks to live here, which the rest of us don’t get.The result is that, whilst ordinary Britons watch their house values plummet, the market in bijou resi-dences for the global super-rich is holding up very nicely. Lakshmi Mittal, global steel and sweatshop tycoon, richest man in Britain and generous funder of the Labour Party, is buying a pad in Kensington - a snip at £117 million.So, as you watch the petrol pump fig-ures blur round faster and faster, or stare in horror at your latest weekly shop bill, isn’t it nice to think that, you are helping those responsible buy another handbag or house....

Global super-rich doing very nicely, thank you

EXPENSIVE: £117million pad in Kensington and £11,000 Burberry handbag.

IT isn’t just rising petrol prices that will make us poorer as

Labour and the Tories’ global market economy hits the iceberg.There are two main evils of this fail-ing system. Firstly it forces the Brit-ish people to bid against the rest of the planet for everything we need rather than being self sufficient and producing it ourselves. Secondly, the global market is infested with specu-lators and parasites whose corrupt practices help push up prices. The former causes prices to rise inexorably for food as well as fuel as Third World economies use the money they have earned by dumping their cheap goods in Western markets to bid against us for essential goods in the global marketplace. The latter enables speculators to amplify many times the price rises caused by the former and to make billions at our expense by creating crooked and bogus schemes such as the sub-prime loan bundles whose collapse we then pay for with credit crunches and the falling values of our homes. So the increased demand from China and India, using the money we pay for their cheap jeans and other imported goods to buy more on the global market, coupled with specu-lation by the global market crooks in places like the City and Canary Wharf, have caused food as well as fuel prices to soar.

More ominously, the price of food production is rising, helped by a 75% hike in farmers’ fertilizer costs, an effect that has yet to feed through to shop prices. And fuel price rises caused by the global market don’t just hit drivers. Gas bills are set to break the £1,000 a year threshold for a typical household - again, thanks to massive market speculation ramping up prices on the back of higher East-ern demand. Meanwhile the credit crunch, caused entirely by the antics of global market speculators has pushed British mort-gage payments up and blocked many Britons from getting a mortgage at all which in turn has brought down the value of millions of family homes.

Families face ruin as global market ‘hits the iceberg’

The result is that the typical British family now has to pay £28 a week more for essential basics like food, housing, utility bills and transport than a year ago. The real inflation rate is now about 5.7% - almost double the rate quoted by the Government. Meanwhile, the global market through its agent here, the European Union, pushes for further freedom of movement of capital and labour.This means that British workers are denied their traditional recourse when prices go up - the demand that wages go up to pay for them. because bosses now simply ship in cheap Romanian workers or ship out pro-duction to India or China rather than pay our workers more. Perceptive economists for the last 150 years have warned that these sort of internal contradic-tions would, sooner or later, bring about the collapse of the global Capitalist market economy. They are now being proved right. The danger is that it will bring us all and Western civilization down with it. But there is hope.For, whilst Brown, Cameron and their counterparts across the West-ern world are arguing about where to put the deckchairs on the global market Titanic, we in the British National Party are building a life-boat to save our people.

CREDIT CRUNCH:Specula-tors made billions at our expense through schemes, such as the sub-prime loan, whose collapse we are left to pick up the bill for.

AN increasing number of people in Britain today are being

forced to live below the breadline.This is a shocking indictment of 11 years of Labour Government especially when Tony Blair, when he was Prime Minister, promised he would make poverty in Britain “a thing of the past”.

Over a million of our working age adults are living below the official poverty level because wages have been driven down by the use of cheap immigrant workers. Many employers use cheap migrant labour to cut costs, thus consigning thousands of British workers to the dole queue or working for a pittance, and unable to pay their rent and house bills.The past year has also seen a further 200,000 more pensioners and 100,000 more children living in poverty.The British National Party says that the Government should look after its own people, especially pensioners and children, and stop wasting money on foreign aid and the European Union.

THINGS keep getting worse for our beleaguered troops -

who already have to put up with defective equipment or a total lack of it when sent into battle, but now many of them cannot even afford a decent meal in the mess!The introduction of the “Pay As You Dine” (PAYD) scheme for soldiers not on active duty, has left many unable to pay for meals individually which were previously covered by a flat rate payment.

This situation has led some commanders to set up “Hungry Soldier” schemes, whereby troops are issued with meal vouchers, the cost of these being deducted from the soldiers’ paypackets at a later date.This is a truly disgraceful way to treat our brave men and women, many of whom, it is also reported, are living very close to the government’s definition of being in poverty. Indeed, it is becoming a serious problem to retain many soldiers in the Armed Forces as they find it increasingly difficult to support their families on the wages they receive.This Labour Government has reduced our Armed Forces, once the best in the world, to their present Third World-like state - under equipped and now underfed!

WHITE teenagers are less likely to go to university than

school-leavers from other ethnic groups - even with the same A-level results, according to new figures.This is because Labour’s “positive dis-crimination” policies have put ordinary white folk to the back of the queue in British life and this is compounded by the fact that universities are keener to take overseas students who pay more in fees for university places.According to the Government, just 5% of white boys from poor homes go on to university. This compares to 66% of Indian girls and 65% of young women from Chinese families.

THE Second World War mission of the code-

breakers working at Bletch-ley Park in Buckinghamshire was to crack the German Enigma machine and decode other seemingly unbreakable messages.This they managed to do and their intelligence saved Allied convoys carrying essential sup-plies from U Boat wolfpacks on the prowl, and played a major part in the North African and other military campaigns. So effective was Bletchley Park that the decoded messages sometimes reached the Allies before the German generals. The astonishing achieve-ments of the codebreakers are believed to have shortened the war by two years saving count-less lives.The Bletchley Park Trust is a charity which, conscious of the debt we owe to these brilliant, unsung intellectual warriors wants to build a world class Heritage Site and Educational Centre on the site. It receives no ongoing public funding and relies heavily on its revenue streams from conferences, weddings and heritage visi-tors, as well as from its Science and Innovation Centre, where Bletchley Park has returned to

world-leading research after 60 years.A National Museum of Com-puting is due to open in the refurbished Block H and a Sculpture Trail is being devel-oped in the grounds.The Trust now wants to reno-vate some of the other build-ings, where the most important work of the twentieth century took place, including the sym-bolic codebreaking huts which are in a desperate state of decay, to be renovated as well as the Victorian Mansion itself which requires £1,000,000 for repairs to the roof. Instead of bailing out privately owned banks and sending aid to India, our Government should be ensuring that Britain’s heritage is preserved for future generations to know of the sac-rifices made on their behalf.Please play your part and sign the petition lobbying the Prime Minister to act to help preserve Bletchley Park at http://peti-tions.pm.gov.uk/BletchleyPark/

AS ENERGY costs rise, British scientists are to launch a new

bid to harness the almost unlimited cheap energy that makes the sun and the stars burn.The Rutherford Laboratory in Har-well, Oxfordshire, is to be the home of HiPer, which will use high-energy lasers to cause hydrogen to fuse into helium.The aim is to destroy matter by turn-ing it into pure energy, the same process that powers the stars, and to control it to offer humanity a new source of energy.Given that oil supplies are not infi-nite, and that conventional fission nuclear power has serious safety and waste disposal issues, controlled hydrogen fusion offers one of the few possible ways of sustaining an advanced technological civilization in the long term. Britain is not the only country launching a new programme to try to harness fusion. The French are trying a different technique, using magnets rather than lasers, at their £8billion ITER project, aiming to achieve con-trolled fusion power by 2022. The Americans are trying a third way at

Only national freedom will help harness the power of star fire

their National Ignition Facility in California.Internationalists are not happy that three different countries are trying three different approaches to the problem like this.The European Union is trying to get the French and British to merge their projects into one Euro-fusion programme, but they would do well to consider why it was Western, not Eastern, civilization that cracked a similar huge challenge 500 years ago - discovering and settling the New World of the Americas.Back then the Chinese had a head-start and by 1430 their giant explo-ration fleets had got as far as East Africa, and could easily have gone on to discover Australia and the American West Coast. But all the efforts of their civilization were con-trolled by the one Chinese superstate that made it up. When the leadership of that state changed, a single deci-

sion on their part in 1433 scrapped the oceangoing fleet, sacked its com-mander Zheng Ho, and shut down the whole programme. Western civilization, on the other hand, was made up of lots of inde-pendent nation states. Some weren’t interested in exploration - Colum-bus got a frosty reception from gov-ernments in his native Italy. Some backed the wrong horse including Portugal which started exploring East instead of West.But others such as Spain and then England and France were free to back independent ideas which succeeded. So Americans North and South now speak English, French, Spanish and Portu-guese, not Mandarin or Cantonese.Similarly, in the struggle to con-trol and harness the star fire, lots of separate independent national pro-grammes, each trying a separate angle, is a strength, not a weakness. One big European or UN programme might choose the wrong tack, or simply be cancelled by a single decision.Some of the separate national pro-grammes will doubtless fail, or be scrapped, but the more separate, free nations try independently, the more likely humanity as a whole is likely to succeed.

SIX hundred more British troops from 2nd Battalion, The Rifles,

are to be sent to Kosovo.Their deployment is in response to a NATO request to deal with violence between Kosovo’s ethnic Albanians and its minority Serbian population. In fact our troops will be used to protect the Islamic Albanians whose settlement in Kosovo has been encouraged ever since Tony Blair used British forces to drive Serbian soldiers from a land that has been Serb for 1500 years. That has left the remaining Kosovo Serbs, already a minority in their own homeland, to the mercy of Muslim death squads.What a way to repay the Serbs who were Britain’s loyal allies in two World Wars, in both of which the

Albanians fought on the side of the GermansThe Albanian Muslims have now illegally - but with the support of the United States - declared the “independence” of this land, as a step towards their goal of a Greater Albania. Our Government has sent in more British troops to keep the remaining native Serbs quiet about this occupation of their land. Sending British troops to facilitate this Islamic land-grab shows just what a warped sense of loyalty and responsibility this Labour Government has. A British National Party Government would ensure that our troops would only be used to defend Britain and protect the interests of the British people.

A cash-strapped Hospital Trust seems to have had no problem

awarding its top executives pay rises of up to 22%.The rises were given to Executive Board members at York Hospital’s NHS Foundation Trust last year at the same time as it axed 100 beds and 200 jobs, due to a financial crisis.The Chief Executive’s annual salary rose to £139,000 contrasting starkly with rises of about 1.3% for the lower paid NHS workers.

One excuse for these huge rises is that there would be a possibility of losing top executives through “head-hunting” by other organisations.It’s a scandal that such pay awards are allowed when seriously ill patients are being denied life saving or life prolonging drugs and operations are being cancelled due to NHS cutsOur health service, once the envy of the world, was founded to look after the needs of the sick - not to satisfy the greed of fat-cat executives.

“A warm welcome to theBritish National Party’s 2008 Summer School” from the BNP’s Events Manager Michaela Mackenzie

THE British National Party’s brightest and best came together at a glorious location just outside

Welshpool for a weekend of political seminars at the 2008 BNP Summer School.Over 200 delegates registered on Saturday morning to hear a welcoming address from Simon Darby, the Party’s Deputy Chairman, before separating into six different groups to attend lectures on a variety of topics including setting-up community groups, positive propaganda, targeted recruitment, good communications, work of a councillor and the Student BNP.On Saturday evening there was a speech by GLA member Richard Barnbrook followed by a hog roast super with entertainment from Joey Smith of Great White Records.It was an early start on Sunday morning with another round of lectures on the more technical

side of electioneering, using the internet to promote the BNP and dealing with the media as well as briefings on regional treasury accounting and membership administration. After lunch there was a closing speech from Nick Griffin who reported that in every sphere the British National Party was becoming more sophisticated and professional as each day went by.The morale of the delegates was naturally sky high after all the favourable publicity concerning the Henley by-election result and everyone enthusiastically reported that the weekend had been the best Summer School ever. This was praise indeed and much deserved by Events Manager Michaela Mackenzie, whose hard work over the last few weeks, working together with David Shapcott’s RWB team, had ensured that everything ran smoothly. l2

THERE’S more proof, if it were needed, that in British politics

today the old gang parties are all the same and it is only the British National Party which offers voters a chance for real change.In Croydon, the Labour Party and the Tories are working together to try to stem the growth of the BNP in New Addington. Councillor Mike Fisher, leader of the Tory-run Croydon Council, and the Labour leader Cllr Tony Newman, have pledged to unite in a bid to persuade residents not to give the BNP their vote. The move has resulted from a cross-party analysis of the capital-wide Greater London Assembly elections in May when 713 residents from New Addington and Fieldway voted for the British National Party. This was a near 50% increase in the BNP vote compared with the 2004 London mayoral elections and indicates that the party has emerged as the third most popular behind the Tories and Labour in the area.The results from the 2006 local elections are also causing concern for

the old gang parties. In the Fieldway ward, the BNP beat the Tories securing 692 votes, and were just 134 votes away from taking the seat won by Labour councillor Carole Bonner.In the New Addington ward, the BNP scored 772 votes - making the Party the third most popular choice behind the two leading parties.While the next local elections in Croydon are not until 2010, Fisher

and Newman said they would meet to discuss a plan of action.Fisher said: “I would be very happy to enter into any sort of work with the Labour Party to try to undermine the BNP position in New Addington and Fieldway.“I’d rather see people voting Labour than BNP.Newman also said he’d rather residents voted for the Conservative Party than the BNP.He said: “I will be happy to work with Mike Fisher and other political parties such as the Liberal Democrats, to send out a strong anti-BNP message.”Croydon BNP organiser Bob Gertner, is not surprised that Labour and the Tories are now working together against the BNP.“Both parties are in trouble and totally discredited in Croydon. On the doorstep it is the immigration and economic policies of this Labour Government that voters are angry about as well as the way the Tories are running the council. We are working very hard in New Addington and Fieldway, with regular door-to-door sales of our newspaper, Freedom, and targeted campaigning. “The local BNP representative and candidate for New Addington is Cliff Le May and he liaises with many local groups and people in order to keep in touch with the issues that concern residents.”The Tories telling voters they can vote for Labour? Labour telling voters they can vote for the Conservatives?All further evidence that there is no difference between the old gang politicians and even if David Cameron became Britain’s next Prime Minister, nothing would really change.CROYDON: BNP has Labour and the Tories on the back foot in New Addington.

CARLISLE CANDIDATES: Brian Allan and Alistair Barbour nearly doubled the BNP vote in Upperby from 12 months ago.

THE British National Party has proved itself to be a key player

on the political stage in Carlisle after another strong showing in the Upperby Ward by-election on June 12th.In May, the BNP had polled its best votes in the city including 28% in Currock and 21% in Morton. The by-election in Upperby came about ini-tially because of the tragic death of Les Griffiths who had been declared to stand as the BNP candidate. Then days later one of the two Labour councillors died suddenly leaving two vacant seats in the ward.The British National Party candidates were local carpet fitter Brian Allan, and self-employed gas fitter Alistair Barbour, who has worked in Carlisle all his working life. They faced a dif-ficult contest in a seat that should be

safe for labour but where the Tories were making a big push.The last time there was an elec-tion here in May 2007, Christine Williamson stood for the BNP and polled a very respectable 168 votes which was 11%. This time the BNP vote share was up nearly 8% and our candidates showed the most progress of any of the main parties.Cumbrian BNP Press Officer Clive Jefferson. said he was very satisfied with the result.“It was a solid performance from a political party that is now a permanent part of the political landscape in Car-lisle. There’s been a significant trans-formation in how we are perceived

and received by the electorate, the press, the other parties and the council officers at City Hall since we fought our first election in Carlisle.“That was 18 months ago at the Brampton by-election in January 2007. We were total novices, polled 88 votes (6%), and were derided by those in the three main parties,” he said.But with six candidates in 2007 receiving 1187 votes and a 23.4% vote share in Currock that attitude changed and this May the British National Party contested 8 seats, improving its vote again to a level that commands a certain level of respect from our opponents.

Third World with the EU

The world of scarcity

IN the last few years over 10,000 Somalians have arrived in Britain and settled in Leicester.

If you were asked where they had come from, you would be for-given for thinking that they must have fled war torn Somalia, but you would be wrong. The startling fact is they have only made the short trip across the North Sea from the Netherlands.Immigration is self-perpetuating. If a government has a policy of allowing in immigrants, it then has to allow in even more to care for them, teach them in our schools, and sell them goods and services.

TAKING a taxi recently from the Gare de Nord in Paris, I was amazed to see how the place has changed demograph-

ically since my last visit. If it hadn’t been for the buildings I could have been travelling through a third world bazaar.Why, I wonder, do the native Parisians stand idly by as they are displaced in their own capital city. Has the ‘thought virus’ of polit-ical correctness affected their brains and stultified their minds to such an extent that they are unable to object?Coincidentally on the train journey across, I was reading an article on Charles Darwin and how influenced he had been by Thomas Malthus. Now, Malthus stated that all populations grow to out-strip available resources. It therefore follows that any individual varying in such a way that it has an advantage in competing for resources is more likely to survive to breed.

Mankind’s numbers have grown exponentially over the centuries until today the world population stands at 6 billion and still grow-ing. Up until now we have not been really tested by Malthus’ pre-dictions as the ingenuity of Western man has kept the world one step ahead of resource scarcity.We have slipped seamlessly from one energy source to another: from wood to coal and then to oil, but the time is now upon us when oil demand is set to outstrip supply and without a tech-nological breakthrough soon the 6 billion people in the world today dependent on oil will suddenly find themselves in a world of scarcity. How will all the other multiracial countries behave if a techno-logical breakthrough is not found soon and they suddenly find themselves faced with dwindling resources. Will all the various ethnic tribes power down collectively like Buddhist monks, or will we see Malthusian predictions writ large?

The Government has a new policy of just allowing in migrants from within the European Union. Outsiders would only be considered if they came within the criteria established by the new points system. This, one would conclude, would be the end of mass Third World migration to these shores, but not so, because it ignores the huge numbers of Third World immigrants living in other EU coun-tries who are now EU citizens, and who like the Dutch Somalians are perfectly entitled to come and live here.Indeed when a country such as Holland starts making life more difficult for its immigrants, such as the dispersal programme it had for the Somalians, they are far more likely to just up sticks and move to a new more immigrant friendly country.I can envisage that should more EU countries become less toler-ant towards immigrants, a situation could arise where there is a mass movement of these people within Europe resulting in the last friendly European country becoming a haven for them all. Unless we leave the EU, that haven will become Britain!

AT six o’clock on a windy Sunday morning, Maurice

Collett left his home in Leices-tershire to embark on a 100 mile fundraising bike ride from Rothley to Skegness in Lincolnshire.It was decided beforehand when planning the route that Maurice would call in at several towns on his way to Skegness to help promote the Party. Melton Mowbray was the first port of call where Maurice was joined by East Midlands Young BNP Organiser Matthew Sleath, for the remainder of the trip.Photographs were taken and an interview was conducted outside Melton’s world famous pork pie

shop in the town centre. Next stop was Grantham where another additional rider, Nigel Podam, joined the fundraising conveo for the duration of the trip. The team took time to visit Grantham Council’s Guildhall before heading for Boston, the last stop before arriv-ing in Skegness.Here the team took a well-deserved break at the historic site of Boston Stump, a magnificent 14th century church where refreshments were pro-vided by local members.At exactly 2pm the weary travellers arrived in the seaside resort of Skeg-ness to be greeted by a sea of flags and a chorus of cheers from BNP well-wishers.

Day of action in Skegness welcomes ‘the Fundraiser’

by Wayne McDermott

ON Sunday 6th July, British National Party members from across the East Midlands

travelled to the Lincolnshire costal town of Skegness to welcome Maurice Collett after he had cycled the 100 miles from his home to raise money for the BNP’s European Election Fund.In the morning while waiting for Maurice to arrive, nine separate leafleting teams were organised and sent out to different parts of the town.Luckily the rain held off and the teams managed to distribute over 3,000 copies of a specially produced Skegness Patriot newsletter to local residents before making their way to the clock tower to join up with the town centre paper sales teams.The day was a great team-building exercise which combined political activity with a day out to the coast along with some socialising, and goes to show that the BNP likes the work and play approach to its politics.

THE DAY WE WENT TO SKEGNESS - TOP: Maurice arrives after his 100 mile trek. ABOVE: BNP members and well wishers get ready to greet him. The Freedom stall did a brisk trade throughout the morning. BELOW: “Where’s the nearest pub?”

Maurice and his supporters seem ready for some well-earned refreshment.

SOME of the sights and sounds of the British countryside are

in danger of disappearing forever with many of our best loved summer visitor birds declining rapidly.The Cuckoo, for instance, whose call is eagerly awaited each spring, has seen its population plummet by an alarming 59%. It is probably now true to say that the majority of British children have never heard the once so familiar call of this bird, whereas in years gone by, we used to listen out for the Cuckoo in the hope of being the first to hear that newly arrived herald of warmer weather.Other losses causing some concern include the much-loved Turtle Dove (down by 82%), the Spotted Flycatcher (down by 84%) and the

Tree Pipit (down by 83%).Several theories have been put forward to try to explain these worrying trends, including climate change and habitat degradation in their wintering areas.But whilst these probably play no small part in the decline of these species, some blame for the loss of our birds must also lie with the hunters in countries such as Malta. These gunmen are responsible for the deaths of thousands of birds, including the already endangered Osprey and Honey Buzzard during their migration periods.Isn’t it typical of the EU bureaucrats in Brussels who manage to interfere in our lives whenever they want yet appear unable to enforce conservation legislation to protect our threatened birdlife from Maltese hunters.

Illegal hunting in Malta is decimating

FACING EXTINCTION?: The Spotted Flycatcher, the Tree Pipit and the Turtle Dove - their numbers are down over 80% on previous years.

Councillors had secret agreement with mosque over

‘Call to Prayer’

A MOSQUE has claimed it has a secret agreement with the

council to be allowed to extend the hours of its call to prayer.The Masjid Umar mosque, in Evington Drive, Stoneygate, Leic-ester, sounds its Call to Prayer for three minutes until 9.45pm which is an extension on the two minutes call to prayer allowed only until 8.00pm as granted in the original application.The council received 29 letters from local residents complaining about the noise nuisance of the wailing imman but refused to take any action.Now the mosque wants their secret agreement with the council out in the open and officially ratified.A spokesman for Masjid Umar said:“The mosque already has an infor-mal agreement with the council to sound the call up until 9.45pm so we are not asking for anything new. A three-minute call would cause no more disturbance than a two-minute call.”

LEICESTER: Or is it the Middle East?

This should be a mosque.”

Cannon Ainsworth, a father-of-four, suffered head injuries, two black eyes, cuts and bruises, and spent 12 days in hospital after the attack.Can you imagine what would have happened if White youths had attacked an imman and said his mosque should be a church?*Two years ago in Carlisle, in Cumbria, a man was sent to prison for just telling Muslims outside the city’s Brook Street mosque, to go back to Pakistan.

He was understandably angry at the response he received when he enquired about any driving courses or financial help towards attaining a PCV licence. He was told by a job centre employee that funds were only available for persons who do not have

English as their first language. When he questioned the legality of such a policy that favoured immigrants over British people, he was told to be quiet or the police would be called. When Mr Crossan said that he wished to make a complaint to the job centre management over the aggressive attitude of the staff, he was escorted from the premises by a security officer.Scott Crossan told Freedom:“I have lived and worked in Dundee all my life and paid my taxes. I asked for help to get back to work and was treated like a second class citizen in my own country.“Why are there policies in place that deliberately discriminate against me just because I speak English? It seems as though they are only interested in recruiting Polish bus drivers”.

No wonder Polish bus drivers like ScotlandPCV training only if you CAN’T speak English!

TRANSPORT Secretary Ruth Kelly, says that Heathrow Airport needs a third runway to increase its capacity

because it is “bursting at the seams”.She has been backed by British Airports Authority chief executive Colin Matthews, who said that if Heathrow did not get a third runway it risked being reduced to a “regional airport on the margins of Europe”. He says that Heathrow needs direct and regular connections to cities such as Bangalore and Chennai because these are now the important global IT centres.The British National Party says that Heathrow doesn’t need a third runway. One third of Heathrow’s traffic, which makes the airport so busy, is transfer passengers who contribute nothing, to Heathrow, or to London, or to the UK economy.Under a BNP Government there would be no need for direct flights to Bangalore and Chennai, because the IT centres that were vital to Britain would be based in Britain.For environmental and security reasons we need to dramatically cut the number of flights in and out of Britain that do not directly benefit Britain and the British people. Much of the air traffic between Britain and the Indian sub-continent is generated by immigrants returning home for holidays and to visit families. Such a large scale exodus and influx, two or three times a year for each family, leaves a huge carbon footprint, facilitates illegal immigration and encourages a dual citizenship mentality which is not beneficial to community cohesion.The British National Party would also bring the BAA, which is owned by the Spanish Ferrovial Group, back under State control to ensure that our airports are serving the best interests of the British people and not being used to make a profit for a foreign company.

Reclaim our airports

AIR Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, the Chief of the Defence Staff, has warned that Britain would have to be

in Afghanistan for “some years” to ensure security.Anyone familiar with the history of Afghanistan will know that outside forces can never bring stability to the region, it is only the indigenous tribes that can do that. Any British life lost there is a life sacrificed for nothing and that is why the British National Party would withdraw our troops from both Afghanistan and Iraq.Our armed forces are for the defence of Britain. Today we face a very real threat from the Islamic extremists now embedded within our society because of the Government’s open door immigration policy. Our troops should be back in Britain, guarding our ports and airports and providing the protection that British people pay their taxes to receive and which should be a priority for our Government.

For the defence of Britain

AT THE COUNT: Michael Barnbrook (3rd left) and his team after beating the Labour candidate in Bexley.

WHEN I attended State Primary Schools, Grammar

School and University, during and after World War 2, there was precious little wrong with the results obtained by the State educational system.Standards were high and the results were good so why did successive Governments need to change it?Look at the corresponding system today. Some secondary school leavers are barely able to read, write, or communicate orally, let alone perform simple sums.I don’t agree with the proposition put forward in last month’s Freedom that Public Schools should be absorbed within the State system - this is a recipe for educational suicide. At least let us keep some of the excellence which we have.When the State educational system has been mended, and rescued from years of endless Marxist tinkering, it will be time enough to consider the evolution of “improvements.” but abolition of the Public School system shouldn’t be one of them.P. G. Willis, email.

I READ with interest the report of the 76 year-old pensioner

jailed because he could no longer afford to pay his council tax.Contrast this with the case of a local 22 year-old burglar given a suspended sentence and then put to the front of the housing queue with all his benefits arranged for him.It is time that our senior citizens got together to fight this sort of injustice by refusing to pay their council tax and being prepared to go to jail.I am willing to do this. Is there any one else who is prepared to join me?If enough of us make a stand then the authorities will have to sit up and take notice.David Rimington, Harrogate.

I WAS in London for the celebration of the 100th

Anniversary of the Territorial Army and was surprised to encounter an anti-BNP march as it arrived in Trafalgar Square.I have never seen such a degenerate rabble. Rappers, assorted punks, ageing Marxist types and those of indiscernible sexuality, yes, they were all there.Their chanting was obscene and their audience of bemused tourists seemed surprised that the police allowed it to go unchecked. All I can say is that I am glad they are on the other side and what a staggering contrast they made to the smartly dressed men and women round the corner in Horseguards for the TA celebration.Mike Corfield, email.

REPORTS concerning the 60th anniversary of our

National Health Service, have featured prominently in the media of late. They describe the beginning of universal health care for the British people, free at the point of delivery, and paid for by weekly contributions from the pay packets of British workers.At what point I wonder, and on whose orders, did it become the IHS - the International Health Service?Because that is precisely what we all pay for now. Anyone, within two minutes of setting foot on British soil, can avail themselves of tens of thousands of pounds worth of medical care, free of charge, courtesy of British taxpayers. It may not work that way in principal, but it certainly works that way in practice! I travel all over the world, and there are no freebies. It’s a pre-requisite that I am fully insured to meet the cost of any possible medical bills in foreign lands. So too should it be for those coming to Britain.

HERE is yet another example of the discrimination that the

British people are suffering because of unrestricted immigration. My children have been refused entry to a state-funded school in our area, but places have been found for children of Polish migrant workers who have recently settled here.When I wrote to the education authority and asked why, I was told that it was because the Poles were Catholics and my children were not.I have been funding this school through my taxes for nearly thirty years, and yet the children of newly-arrived immigrants are able to relegate my children to a second choice school many miles away.Is it any wonder that immigration is creating social tensions?Ralph Ellis, Vale Royal.

I CAN only read, in comfort, black printed on white.

Sally Wood’s column has recently changed to a gradient mauve background which makes it impossible for me to read.The editorial is still legible but the Letters’ Section not so because of its mauve background.Ron Tandy, Kings Lynn.

* Editor: It’s changed from this issue.

IT seems there is a move a foot to re-educate the public in their

perception of Islam. A primary school head teacher here in Leeds has been forced to undergo race equality training for daring to mention Muslims and bombs in the same sentence while dealing with an incident in the playground.Apparently the parents of a Muslim pupil complained and the police were called in to investigate.The teacher was spoken to and told to reflect on his inappropriate language.Those in power are trying to muddy the waters as to the motivation of the London suicide bombers so in years to come it will be regarded as just a terrorist attack having very little to do with Islam.Jenny Farmer, Roundhay.

Found a new homeI left the Labour Party in 2002.

After five years in power it was clear to see that Blair’s regime had nothing to do with the Party that I had joined in 1986.But my years in the political wil-derness are now over, and that is because I have found the BNP.Brian Dawson, Rainham.

MONA McNEE’sStep by Step Reading

AN MBE has been awarded to Mona McNee, a teacher of

reading and writing, for voluntary services to education in the Queen’s Birthday Honours. Mona is a keen advocate for the need to return to the basic phonic method of reading and has spoken on the subject at a number of British National Party branch meetings especially in the North West of England.

STAN LEESE, an honorary vice-president of Staffordshire

Football Association, has had his membership suspended after standing as a British National Party candidate in Stoke at the local elections.The former football coach was just 30 votes short of winning Northwood & Birches Head ward but his candidacy angered county football chiefs, who claimed his political views were at odds with the FA’s equal rights and anti-racism policies.He had been made an honorary life vice-president of Staffordshire FA for his services to local football over 60 years, but that didn’t cut any ice with Staffordshire FA chief executive Brian Adshead, who demanded Stan quit the BNP or resigned from the FA before polling day.But he did neither and was suspended from the FA for three years.In a letter, board chairman Roger Street, admitted:“The board do not believe you are in any way racist.”

Alby Walker, the leader of the BNP group on Stoke Council, said the Party would contest the suspension. “We feel it is unfair of the FA to take this action just because of Stan’s membership of a political party.“We are going to ask them to explain their appeals process and are taking legal advice,” he said.

STAN LEESE: 40 years of service to local football in Staffordshire.

What a way to treat this servant of the community

ON the first anniversary of the stabbing of Keith Brown, the

British National Party’s chairman Nick Griffin, visited Stoke to pay his respects to Keith’s family.Keith Brown was stabbed to death on July 6 last year by his Muslim neighbour Habib Khan, following a long-running dispute over property boundaries. Khan was found not guilty of murder after his defence team claimed he had been a victim of race hate.Nick Griffin told the Stoke Sentinel newspaper:“Today our thoughts are with Keith Brown’s wife Julia and her children, but we will not let this matter rest.“Despite the manslaughter verdict we

still regard Keith’s death as murder and we need to highlight how the police and criminal justice system fails to properly investigate such racially-motivated crime.

“To do this we have organised a day of action on August 9th when we are expecting large numbers of people from around the country to converge on the city for a rally.”

THE local elections in Liverpool this year saw an increased

British National Party presence with 11 candidates standing in the city itself and 31 throughout Merseyside. The election results reaffirmed where the BNP stands in Liverpool as the third most voted for party.Launching a new leafleting campaign in the city, Liverpool BNP Organiser Steve Greenhalgh, said:“We received a very good response leading up to the May elections and we want to capitalise on the current interest.

“We’ve been out over the last few weeks in areas that we didn’t con-test like parts of Bootle and Anfield. There has been quite a lot of feed-back, which is very encouraging. However, we are not just relying on leafleting to spread our message; we are experimenting in other areas like placing videos on YouTube”.The latest Liverpool BNP video to be released on this self-broadcasting internet site is a Fathers’ Day mes-sage condemning the IVF Bill that is going through the House of Com-mons at the moment.The video presenter is Pete Molloy, who joined the BNP from the Labour Party in 2006.“I thought it would be very important to send out a message to the public on Fathers’ Day to let them know that there is actually a political party out there that understands the important role of the father in a family.“The BNP believes that a strong nuclear family unit benefits society by producing children that will grow up into responsible adults, which will have a positive affect on our country as a whole.”

PETE MOLLOY: Ex-Labour Party.by Gary Raikes

A MEETING of the Scottish Office of the British National

Party and regional BNP officials took place in June in Perth.The delegates were honoured to be sharing a hotel with members of the 51st Highland Brigade who were holding their annual dinner and veterans parade and it seemed

fitting to see the BNP officials who, against great odds, are defending Britain today conversing with these brave servicemen who also served Britain in her hour of need.At the BNP conference reports were given from around the regions as well as from the Scottish Office officials, and all reported steady progress as we continue

to improve the new structure. An informative presentation was given by marketing PR expert Jim Duff, which will lead to some real changes in the way we present our selves in future campaigns.The BNP’s Scottish Office can be contacted by writing to The Secretary at PO Box 11815, Turriff, AB53 8WB.

THE BNP vote in Blackpool’s Park ward was squeezed after

a huge Tory campaign to win the seat from Labour.Our very good community candidate Les Joy, still polled well to beat the Lib-Dems with the UKIP candidate receiving a derisory 30 votes.

IT was an encouraging first effort for the British National Party in

Hatfield Central ward.Excellent BNP candidate Mark Fuller, secured over ten percent of the vote taking votes equally from both the Labour Party and the Tories.

Nick Griffin addresses

170 in Norfolk

SOUTH NORFOLK: Nick chats to World War II veteran and former Royal Marine, Bill Fitt, after the meeting in Stoke Holy Cross.

BRITISH National Party chair-man Nick Griffin, spoke at two

well-attended meetings in Norfolk on the same day last month.The first meeting was held in a King’s Lynn public house. 55 people

enjoyed a buffet lunch as Nick gave a short speech and conducted a ques-tion and answer session. This was an excellent attendance for a mid-week lunchtime meeting held in a small market town, and gives an indication of the growing support that the BNP is receiving in West Norfolk.The meeting was ably chaired by Dave Fleming, the BNP’s prospec-tive parliamentary candidate for the North West Norfolk constituency. In last year’s council elections, Dave Fleming stood in the North Lynn ward and received 34% of the vote, coming within 45 votes of being elected in what was the Labour Par-ty’s strongest ward in the whole of Norfolk.After the meeting the BNP Chairman accompanied Dave Fleming on a fact finding mission to villages in West Norfolk that are likely to be affected

by proposals for large scale sand and gravel extraction. Norfolk BNP is supporting villagers’ objections to the plans amid fears that such mining on a massive scale would cause seri-ous illnesses such as silicosis.The next stop on the Norfolk whistle -stop tour was a restaurant in a con-verted water mill at Stoke Holy Cross in South Norfolk. This was the

venue for the evening meeting which attracted an audience of 115. Nick spoke of the dangers facing Norfolk not only from multinational mining companies keen to exploit its natural resources, but also from the massive influx of migrant labour which is depressing wage levels and changing the character of towns such as King’s Lynn, Thetford and Great Yarmouth.

DAVE FLEMING: 45 votes from victory.

STOKE HOLY CROSS: There were 115 here to listen to the BNP chairman.

by John RydeALWYN Deacon, the BNP’s Mid-lands Election Officer, opened his Nuneaton pub to seventy members and supporters from across the East and West Midlands for a fundraising three course dinner on Saturday 7th June.As well as raising nearly £1,000 in much needed funds which will be split between the two regions, the meeting

was a chance to meet and make new friends, and promote mutual co-oper-ation in building the party.As an ice breaker Wayne McDermott produced a 20 question quiz with ten questions relating to West Midlands and ten questions relating to the East Midlands. This meant that both regions had to work together to pro-duce the answers. Simon Darby, the Deputy Chairman

East meets West in Nuneatonof the British National Party drew the raffle for which the main prize was three bottles of champagne, a red one, a blue one and a white one from the vineyards of Jean-Marie Le Pen.They were from the same batch as those famous ones that were opened outside Leeds Crown Court when Nick Griffin and Mark Collett were famously acquitted by the jury of the Government’s trumped-up charges.

SATURDAY 21st June saw a very special occasion down on

the South Coast in Bognor Regis when one of the region’s most dedicated members had a very special birthday party.Pat Witchell was celebrating her 60th birthday and did it in style with a fund-raising bash for the BNP. Pat who is recovering from illness has often been out and about leafleting in her wheelchair and along with husband Mike has helped to establish the Party in Sussex.The party was attended by members and supporters as well as friends and

family, all in the knowledge that Pat and Mike were raising funds for the British National Party.Nick Griffin was unable to attend due to a long-standing speaking engagement in Blackpool, but he telephoned Pat to wish her a very happy birthday.At the end of the night Pat thanked all those who attended:“It has been a wonderful party, and we hope that you have all enjoyed the evening. Thanks to your generosity we have raised £353 which will go towards the South East Region’s European Election Fund.”

It was a disappointingly dirty cam-paign with both the Tory and Green Party joining with Labour to hand out third party anti-BNP leaflets.

I agree with British National Party policy that Britain should leave the EU and take control of our own affairs.

I think that the European Union provides us with security and ensures that all member states work together.

It benefits Britain economically to be part of the European Union and we couldn’t go it alone.

I agree with BNP policy that essential services such as gas, water and electricity should be State owned.

I think that private companies should take a profit from providing the services that we cannot do without.

Foreign companies supplying our water do a good job and should be allowed to continue.

I agree with BNP policy that we shouldn’t import the food and goods that we can produce ourselves.

I think that the global economy is vital for our survival and Britain should enthusiastically support it.

It’s a pipe dream to think that we can provide for our growing population. We must import food or starve.

I agree with BNP policy that we should withdraw our troops and bring them home immediately.

I think that our troops should be used in war against terror to help make the world a safer place to live in.

Britain, like America, is the world’s policeman and we have a duty to send our forces to any troublespots.

I agree with BNP policy that nuclear power has a role to play along with renewable energy and clean coal.

I think that nuclear waste poses too big a threat for us to commit to an energy policy including nuclear power.

Nuclear power is vital for this country and Britain should make it our primary source of energy supply.

JIHAD: Islam’s 1,300 Year War on Western CivilisationFOR CENTURIES, violent Muslims have been trying to capture

Europe for Islam. Sweeping out from its origin in Saudi Arabia, Islam has expanded through violent conquest into North Africa, the Middle and Near East, and very nearly into Europe itself, attacking through Spain, Italy, and the Balkans.Each time, the Islamic hordes were turned back by a united European

military effort. Today, the Islamic invasion is not being carried out with sieges, scimitars, or cannon, but rather by immigration, birth rates, and demographics. This book puts the current crisis into historical perspective, showing that instead of being a “religion of peace,” violent Islam has, in fact, been waging war on all its self-appointed opponents since its inception.
