Beggaring Belief (Updated)

There was an unfortunate slip of the tongue on radio today when the newsreader announced that (the) BNP had discovered oil in Mexico. I thought Nick Griffin had been swimming in Cancun.

We received another begging letter from Uncle Nick today. it concerned the court case brought by the EHRC (of which I'm in two minds).

  • The next few months will be critical to the Party's future. We have to defeat the Equalities Commission's attempt to criminalise our Party, but fighting court cases does not come cheap. That's why I am asking EVERYONE receiving this email bulletin to text the word 'DONATE' to *****
  • I need you to do this immediately - yes RIGHT NOW. At the moment we need every penny that can be spared for our legal fight back, not to mention the routine running costs in keeping one of the largest political organisations in the country ticking over.
The number to text to is repeated 4 times. i know most BNP members would struggle to remember their own IQ figures, this takes some beating. Still, judging by the incompetence displayed by the BNP's crack(ed) legal team, those £3 texts are badly needed.
  • Today I am in court in London for the opening salvo of the Equalities Commission legal case concerning our "British-only" membership policy
As the BBC reports:
  • Mr Griffin and fellow party officers Simon Darby and Tanya Lumby did not attend the hearing at Central London County Court.
  • The case was adjourned to give the BNP more time to prepare a defence, after the court was told the party had only instructed its counsel, Jonathan O'Mahoney, at 5pm on Tuesday.
  • (The Judge) said the BNP had known since June about the possibility of legal action and said it was "unfair" of the party to have instructed Mr O'Mahoney at the last minute.

    He therefore ordered the BNP to pay the costs of the hearing.

Further evidence of why the BNP is a racist bunch of shits comes in their treatment of two events that took place over the Bank Holiday weekend. In Liverpool we had the Mathew Street Festival, which I attended. There was a lot of merriment despite the deteriorating weather and there was some drunkenness. Merseyside Police stated that around 230 people were arrested - mostly for minor public order offences connected to drink and drugs. There were some witness accounts of minor scuffles and morons throwing cans of lager, but given the amount of people attending, this was a good result on the whole.

The Notting hill Carnival took place in London. Readers may recall BNP councillor Richard Barnbrook (who seems to have disappeared of late) wanted to ban this due to violent clashes occurring (and obviously nothing to do with the colour of some of the participants). Police report that there were 215 arrests, again mostly for minor offences. There appears to have been a stabbing and some minor skirmishes. unfortunately, this is part and parcel of any major gathering these days.

You can guess what's coming. The BNP cover the Carnival (with a little help from their friends at The Mail) and has this to say:
  • Predictably, the “celebration” of African coloniser culture in the heart of London ended in running battles with police and reports of several stabbings.
  • Chief Inspector Edwards said police had used CCTV to track several gangs of “youths” (which is a code word for black youngsters) who were “intent on causing trouble, at times throwing bottles at officers.”
  • The Notting Hill Carnival is nothing more than the colonisers of London putting on a show of how they have been able to take over Britain’s capital and turn it into a Third World cesspit.
If this vile hatred were not bad enough, let's see what the Neanderthal members have to say:
  • Since when did a bunch of bongo drum players, limbo dancers and half-naked women with feathered headresses (trying to embarass the police) constitute culture?
  • Knife violence is endemic and gangs of thugs go around carrying guns and dealing hard drugs. Women are not safe, rape is commonplace and the whole atmosphere wreaks of intimidation and threat.
  • We need a new system of instant justice and police prisons to keep people locked up for short periods who are caught red handed whilst their deportation arrangements are made
  • The carnival does not belong here, African culture can be celebrated to your hearts content...in bloody Africa!
  • If I want to be "enriched" by Pakistani or African culture then I will travel to asia and Africa,I don't want them here
  • Time is running out for the invited invaders who have no respect at all for our great nation, so get them out by persuasion or EVICT them.
  • This bongo party is a disgusting multi culti stain on our Nation

Bastards. The lot of them. No wonder they keep on giving to the odious party of hate.

UPDATE: 3rd September

It seems Griffin is preparing his members for a climb down. In another begging email, he asks for £20,000 within a week if the Party is to continue to fight this case and a further £60,000 before the adjourned hearing.

Of course, he has managed to put spin on this, so that he is portrayed as the victim.
  • Either we shift our position or we will be utterly crushed. That fact was established beyond any possible doubt when the judge ruled that we must pay the thousands of pounds of costs of today’s hearing.
This is an outright lie. Costs against were ordered because he failed to comply with court procedures. This is par for the course for his lot, but it means that his followers are misled into believing the court had made a ruling of fact on the case. It was his request for an adjournment and negligently late instruction of new Counsel that led to the costs order.

His pathetic attempts to attain victim status even arrives at this staggering piece of logic:
  • Our lawyers’ highly compelling argument that the principle of Equality of Arms means that CEHR should fund our defence (as they would indeed assist any organisation representing literally any other ethnic group) was simply brushed aside by CEHR’s own lawyers, and thus not even considered by the court.
The last sentence defies belief (and does not even make sense). It's also confusing that he uses the acronym CEHR rather than EHRC!

Perhaps most chilling is this subtle dog whistle for neo-Nazis to stand firm:
  • "I have no doubt that it is possible to redraft our constitution so as to ensure we comply with the new law while at the same time holding true to our core principles and most important of all to our purpose – to secure a future for the true children of our islands."
This is a reference to white supremacist David Lane's 14 words, regularly used by BNP members and Stormfront posters - ""We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children."

The EHRC action may not have been the most appropriate tactic, but it should make for interesting times.

Cheeky Beggars!

Another day, another begging letter from BNP Fuehrer Nicholas Griffin. This time it's only £700 his Sturmabteilung needs to raise. Apparently little Nick is excited at this new-fangled internet thingy what with its twitters and bebos and such.

  • Social networking is the future
Not garlic bread then?
  • We need a mere £700 to pay for the creation, by an industry standard computer-programmer, of an application that can be downloaded and installed on any social networking site. This will be a dedicated BNP application, complete with a box to sign-up to our email bulletins and other features.
So how do the faithful patriots help, Nicky baby?
  • Have you got a Facebook, Myspace, Twitter or Bebo page of your own? Imagine displaying a BNP application on your page! That is what we want to achieve!
Oh, I see! Next to your friends from the local KKK and membership of Zioinist conspiracy groups and Nazi avatars, you can proudly put your BNP badge on. These, of course, are the kind of social networking sites the BNP hierarchy warned against as they exposed the kind of bedfellows the average BNP member had. Now the election is over it's all systems go.

Talking of the Euro elections, didn't Mr Griffin come into a nice little salary as a result? Surely, the man himself will start the ball rolling?
  • Our target for this project is £700. I consider this project so important for the future that I am personally going to donate a gift of £25 towards it.
  • So please send whatever you can: £15, £20, £50, £100, even £500 if possible! Every penny helps
I think the BNP members should be asking some serious questions here. Why aren't the party's accounts available and why is the wealthy Griffin asking for pitiful donations by the day?

If I was one of those conspiracy theorists (9/11 or even 'Paul Is Dead') I'd be wondering why Mr G was after bank details and what was in this wondrous Facebook application.

Hall of the Lyin' King

Düsseldorf Brauhaus

Like Herr Hitler, I like to visit the odd beer hall; unlike the uncelebrated Mr H I don't tend to organize many putsches there.

A laughable story in today's BNP News:

The Destruction of British Culture: 52 Pubs per Week Closing

The economic downturn and the Islamification of large areas of Britain have been blamed for the massive decline in traditional British public houses, with at least 52 per week currently being shut down.

Really? Who says?
  • According to figures released by the British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA), pubs are closing at a record rate and 24,000 jobs have been lost in the last year alone as a result.

    The report showed that 52 pubs closed every week in Britain in the first six months of this year, an increase of a third on the same period last year.

OK, fair do. But about this Islam factor?
  • The BBPA said, “The biggest impact is the recession. There are fewer people out and fewer people spending money in pubs and bars regardless of where they are.

    “Pubs are already diversifying but unfortunately if you are a community pub you can’t transform yourself into a trendy town centre bar.”

Yes, yes! But what about the Muslims?
  • The BBPA report studiously avoided the other reason for the closure of this traditional British cultural phenomenon: the Islamification of Britain.
Oh, so The BBPA report is not saying what you say in your headline then? How very strange; the BNP must be able to get out of this predicament with solid facts and data, surely?
  • A handful of recent examples illustrate the point:
  1. A report dated 18 May 2009 in the Birmingham Mail told of how that city’s council had approved the conversion of a Handsworth pub into a mosque — even though it had been carried out without planning permission.
  2. A This is Nottingham news report from 16 January 2009 revealed that “a group of Muslims is seeking permission to continue to worship in a former pub.
  3. A report in the Bucks Herald of 1 October 2008 reported that a “pub in Aylesbury is to be converted into an ‘Islamic cultural centre’ and Mosque. The Skinny Dog (formerly The Greyhound) in Churchill Avenue, which has been closed for several months, has been bought for £600,000
So, only 3 examples in the last 12 months when apparently 52 are closing each week. And note that the pubs were already closed before being bought and converted. Perhaps Herr Griffin was too slow to use his BNP funds and newly found EU wealth to bid for these sites to keep them as pubs. Perhaps he could serve Guinness and when it is thrown over him, he can let his thugs give someone a kicking as the BBC reports:
  • A Labour MP [David Drew] has claimed British National Party supporters beat up a man when he threw beer over the party leader, Nick Griffin.

    The alleged incident took place at the Falcon Inn, Painswick, Gloucestershire...

  • "As a result of this he was taken outside and given one hell of a hiding."
On This is Gloucestershire more detail emerges:
  • "Nick Griffin came out and I decided to splash him with Guinness. I was swiftly put in a headlock by one of his security people. I was backing away and had my hands splayed out.

    "They started taking me down the road, and I was worried about that.

    "Then a member of staff from the Falcon came out and took me off the BNP security person and took me back in to the pub. Then I was asked to leave the pub via a different door."

    But he said he was later spat on in the street and verbally abused by a member of the party in a car.

So what's the official BNP line?
  • BNP spokesman John Walker said: "People have to start to realise now that they cannot go around taking liberties with a member of the European Parliament, whichever party they represent.

    "We won't put up with it. It is not civilised behaviour. If he got duffed up, he was a victim of his own misfortune.

There we have it. Waste the black stuff on the odious Griffin and his thugs will take the law into their own hands.

IMPORTANT 'BRITISH PAGES' UPDATE:

Number of British workers for hire 0
Employment Offered 0

And Finally...

Freudian (almost) typo from NW Nationalists (the people who think Griffin is a dirty commie):
  • The BNP lacks the human resources to be a serious party.

    That is largely because capable or idealistic people are seen as a threat.

    Any organisation run like that will reach a point where it can't get much furher. Rule by expulsion is not a politically viable policy.

Simple Simon And His Even Thicker Flock of Fascists

I've just booked a trip to Brussels. It won't come courtesy of the morons and bigots who voted for Nicholas Griffin of the Odious BNP but it will enable me to partake of some great Belgian beers as I hope to be there during Oktoberfest.

Simon Darby of the aforementioned Odious BNP is having a good time shuttling back from Strasbourg and Brussels and keeps the troops up to date with this peach of a comment:

  • Just heard that Nick will be making his first speech in the European Parliament this afternoon between three and sixclock. Please remember that this is French time and as such they are operating an hour in front of us.
Bloody foreigners with their anti-GMT time zones; bloody BNP members - too thick to know the difference.

Further news arrives which seems to cast doubts on the BNP's egalitarian and democratic treatment of its members.

Chairman Griff takes time off from being barred from Europe's finest hostelries (or not) - 'Do you know what I am?' - to email the foot soldiers of hate and doom.
  • Unlike the other British MEPs, we are not motivated by money, expenses or career;
But if you'd like to give us some of that, er, money (Britisher Pounds only - used notes preferred) then who's to stop you? After all, the party is growing like a festering disease. However, Nicholas has a note (non-traceable numbers please) of caution for the dogs of warp.
  • but there is still something more that can be done: Upgrade to Gold membership!
Gold you say? But what's that all about, nick dear?
  • Gold members are the 'elite' of the Party - they go that extra mile and quite rightly display their Gold membership badge with pride at Party meetings and events.
I see, those street warriors who go the extra mile (but ignore the parable of the Good Samaritan obviously) and fight the good fight with all their might. Come hail (I said hail not Heil so stop that sniggering at the back), rain or other weather conditions not caused by the Marxist conspiracy of Global Warming, these patriots are there, giving their time, intellect and strength to the nationalist movement? Well not quite.
  • Gold membership for newcomers is a mere £60 - and existing BNP members need only top up their membership by £30 to become Gold members!
Oh, £30 extra, Nick. What if I'm a poor destitute indigenous person who cannot get a job, house, helicopter or lobotomy due to preferential treatment for immigrants? I feel like a second class citizen in my own nutty party. What's the benefit if I sell my antique copy of Mein Kampf and put the children on the game to pay the upgrade?
  • The Gold membership badge also makes a superb addition to any type of clothing, whether a suit or casual.
Oh, OK that's me sold!
  • All Gold members receive a special gold membership badge that sets them apart from ordinary members.
Yeh, take that 'ordinary' members. Bling talks.

Anyone feeling left out by this sudden elitism in the hierarchy of this democratic party may be calmed by the strident call from Griff:
  • now is the time to join as a Gold member: crime, immigration, corruption, EU sell-out, dysfunctional schools and hospitals, political correctness, break-up of the United Kingdom, high-taxes, rip-off Britain, Islamification…..isn't it time you joined the British Resistance?
Those dysfunctional hospitals really do need tackling. It's not possible to walk the streets without encountering the threat of feral A & E departments jumping out and giving people a good triage.

Maybe members will wake up to the fact that Midas Griffin does not turn everything he touches into gold.

Goo Goo Gajoob

It's not clever and it's a waste of eggs but........


Guardian

Billy Brit Returns

Our fiend (sic) from Brighton (now posting under a new moniker) took me to task for 'resorting to silly name calling'. So, now for something completely different as Tim produces a classic. If you don't find it funny you are either deceased or Nick Griffin.



See Tim @ Bloggerheads for background to the muppet of BNP Youth.

Cometh the hour, cometh the MEN

The Manchester Evening Newscarried a front page headlined The Truth about the BNP. This has worried Herr Griffin and in his latest missive to the flock he is urging members and supporters of the odious BNP to write to advertisers at the MEN. Interesting tactic. Can't think where he might have got this idea from!

Griffin moans,

  • One particularly pernicious nest of lying Marxist media vermin resides at the Manchester Evening News which has been running a campaign of unbridled hatred against the BNP. Daily they spew forth a conveyor belt of poison attempting to mislead voters ahead of D-Day June 4th 2009.
So what does Griffin feel about the newspaper?
  • The latest anti-BNP pack of lies from the Manchester Evening Lies proudly boasts of a desire to interfere in the electoral process by printing anti-BNP nonsense.
  • The media knows only one answer to the inexorable rise of the British National Party: lies, slander, smears, deception and character assassination.
In the article the MEN allude to the following:

1. The extremist right-wing group, which only allows white people to join..

2. Party leader Nick Griffin claims that black and Asian Britons - including heroes like boxing star Amir Khan, football legend Rio Ferdinand and Victoria Cross winning soldier Johnson Beharry - 'do not exist'.

3. Griffin is a former leader of the National Front who was given a suspended jail sentence in 1998 for distributing material likely to incite racial hatred. He has previously described the Holocaust, in which Hitler's Nazis killed six million Jews, as 'Allied wartime propaganda'.

4. In its manifesto for the 2005 general election, the BNP made clear it would create 'firm' incentives for 'immigrants and their descendents' to leave Britain.

5. The party's constitution includes in its 'political objectives' the aim of creating an 'overwhelmingly' white country, by changing the law as well as 'negotiation and consent'.

If Griffin feels that the MEN is conducting such a campaign, he should put some of the £5,000 which was just resting in his account towards suing the paper. Careful now.

Nicholas Griffin: Not a Racist Party

I think I've mentioned before that episode of Father Ted, where Ted invites the Craggy Island folk to a slideshow where subliminal 'NOT A RACIST' messages are flashed. The leader of the BNP appeared with Nicky Campbell on the Radio 5 Breakfast Show on Tuesday morning as uponnothing points out on the Herr Griffin post.

I've listened to it via the 7 day repeat facility on the Five Live site (Tuesday - about 2 hours 35 in)- although it was a bit difficult due to connection details) and managed to produce a basic transcript of some of the conversation. It is not verbatim but I have not added anything and have attempted to keep to the crux of the encounter. If anyone finds any errors feel free to correct. It's difficult to listen to Griffin sometimes as even with decent headphones he tends to slur some words. (and even more difficult to type this as Man Utd take the lead)

Anyway, Campbell - in a very calm manner - would not let Griffin off the hook on some of the central issues whilst the BNP man tried to shift the debate away from the past and on to the Euro elections.

  • CAMPBELL - Yesterday...Nigel Farage described your party as a racist party.

    GRIFFIN - We're not racist ....we're not sleazy like UKIP so leave Mr Farage to yesterday..
  • C- When you said recently ...you had a leaflet...that black Britons and Asian Britons didn't exist, could you explain that to our listeners?

    G - What we're saying is this: of course civicly black people, who've been born here, pay taxes, get on with our society...civicly they're British, got a British passport, the right to play in our football teams...
    But 'British' also has an ethnic meaning in that you are English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh and you cannot change ethnicity. We have no hostility to them - we're just pointing out...
    just if I moved to the West Indies I wouldn't become Jamaican....
    they're not English

    C - So Rio Ferdinand, David James, Theo Walcott, although they play for England they're not actually English?

    G - Of course they're not - they're Afro-Caribbean...and often very proud of that and very much entitled to be and likewise the English, Welsh, Scots and Irish are separate ethnicity...our ancestors have been on these isles since since the last Ice Age. We are the indigenous people of these islands and that needs to be recognised.


    C...some of us have been here a lot more recently...100 years...it gets ridiculous. What about mixed race people?
  • G- Mixed race are a (sinful/simple?) part of their society and it's not the job of any political party to tell people who they cannot fall in love with.

    Every time I'm on Radio5 I've had to fend off these silly race obsessed questions. I think your listeners want to hear about policies for the Euro elections.

    If one of my daughters came home with a black man I'd be as disappointed as many black people or Sikhs would be if their daughter came home with my son.
    I think each of our cultures are unique and lovely and should be preserved. Mixing us together in some American style melting pot is way of destroying human diversity which is a bad thing.

    C - Camp - it comes onto your policies...very important as this feeds into your policies. Repatriation is a central plank. In your manual ....manifesto - you talk of lawful, humane and voluntary repatriation of resident foreigners. How does that work?
  • G - It works as it exists now... there is a policy now of the Home Office since 1972 to find members of ethnic minorities, those who want to return to lands of their ethnic origin as
    Britain is the most overcrowded in the world...but it's not a major plank of the manifesto. We're talking European elections the issue here..the EU expansion into Turkey, like the fact we can't have British jobs for British workers while the EU control borders.... controls economic policy.

    Camp - What is your policy on the Gurkhas?

  • GRIFFIN : We've been more lenient than Labour. It's ironic that the Gurkhas are one of the foreign ethnic groups that have done the very most throughout our history for Britain and they seem to be ones most discriminated against. Any elderly war veteran Gurkha who's sick and needs medical treatment should be allowed in with their family for as long as they're alive. We don't think Britain, the most overcrowded in Europe can say you can all come and all your relatives.That's another 100,00 people. One in five homeless are ex- servicemen and until we look after and house those we shouldn't be looking to have a lot more people in. Key thing with the Gurkhas is when they signed up frankly as mercenaries they expected a pension which in those days would allow them to live really well in their country. Because of economic development in Nepal, British Army pension isn't now enough...far cheaper and better for us to increase your pension rather than coming to overcrowded Britain.

    C- Armed Forced Day - pictures on your website are all white soldiers...

    G - they get a raw deal. In Birmingham wounded soldiers have to pay to watch TV....sent into an unwinnable war in Afghanistan.. need to bring home.
  • C - The Pope said yesterday that the suffering of Holocaust victims must never be denied. What do you think of that given that you once wrote book 'Holohoax'?

    G - I've said some very rude things in the past that I regret about the way in which the Holocaust has been used and abused by gentile leftists to stop and stifle any proper debate on immigration, but there's no question about the Holocaust happening .....just as there no question of Armenians murdered by Turks, people in Eastern Europe murdered by communists, who are ideologically close to where the old Labour Party used to lie and we don't have that about the Labour Party every time banging on about genocide.
    Genocide is something that happened in the last century and really that's where it should be left.

    C - But if any party leader had written an article Holocaust:Holohaux and you have said things about it in the past it would come back to haunt them. Have you changed your mind on that or genuinely ...altered your opinion because it's not popular?

    G - There is BBC bias 'cos don't have Labour MPs on ..being asked about communist support

  • C - yes I do

  • - I'm always delighted to do so...one of my great interests is what people said in the past.

  • GRIFFIN - as regards what I've said in the past... the crazy thing is that I can't tell you what I used to believe because you and I could be hauled off to Germany or France and thrown into prison. Similarly I can't even tell you why I've changed my mind.....

  • C -Have you changed your mind?

  • GRIFFIN- I've genuinely changed my mind. One of the key things is the question of numbers 'cos when I was at school we were told 4 million were murdered at Auschwitz, now told 1 million so there's a 3 million gap. The reason I changed my opinion whether that says there was a massive holocaust or not was radio transcripts of German military broadcasts intercepted by the Brit... only released a few years ago which show clearly them machine gunning up to a million Jews on the eastern front in retaliation for partisan attacks on German troops so I have changed. I never denied the Holocaust.
bit more to come.......and tidy up......and comment.

Wellington in Wellington

I love Google ads. Don't have them here but it's always great to see what the algorithms come up with and the interesting juxtapositions and ironies.

Today's example is on the spiffing British Pages, which although still awaiting its first vacancies for British (see Nick Griffin for definition) workers, continues its march/crawl towards success. The fact that the two North-West businesses (the soon-to-be-demolished pub and the Blackpool hotel) have disappeared from the site may be just a blip. Perhaps the poor spelling was putting customers off. Or the golliwog badges.........

Anyhow, if the British Pages fails in its crusade to save Britain from itself, members may be tempted to join the queue to jump ship and emigrate to the land of the kiwi. This blog foresees the establishment of epoch-making friendships between the English emigres and the New Zealand indigenous Maoris. Dogs in stables and all. Whether ostentatious tattoos will be allowed in Griffin's New Look BNP remains to be seen.

The chums at the British Pages will be pleased to see the results of a study highlighted in today's Guardian. Now this blog is as cynical as any about so-called scientific studies that seek publicity fr the people carrying out the survey, but hey ho:

  • The famously multicultural city of Bradford has emerged as one of the three most "English" places in England for patriots to spend St George's Day.
Now, I'm biased here. As someone introduced to the delights of Balti and Lamb Jalfrezi via the curry houses of Soho Road in Birmingham, I must admit that my first trip to Bradford was an eye-opener. A victory for Tranmere (our only Viking football team) at Valley Parade was followed by a magnificent curry near an equally impressive mosque.

We even stayed at a pub which overlooked the 'lane' featured in 'Band of Gold' starring the great actress Samantha Morton. Halcyon days. So good to see that Bradford also has -according to the survey - "one of the country's highest ratios of fish and chip shops to people, and an astonishing number of cricket clubs and leagues."

It was good to see Brighton positioned in the top 10 too. That should please someone! Before he sets sail for pastures new.

The Real BNP:Volume 2487


I am indebted to the post by Birmingham Blogger Edmund Standing (of I Kid You Not) for this important expose of the BNP's White History Month. I did have a little look at this when their website was set up but didn't think too much about it.

Like those morons that clamour almost child-like for White Police Associations because they have one, the BNP kidders are wetting their Pampers in expectation of this annual display of white pride.

As I've said before, the fact that they are able to muster support at the moment as all good extremists do at times of recession is concerning. They still try to put on a cloak of respectability whilst all the time being rotten to the core underneath.

We know Griffin denied the Holocaust, has convictions for racially aggravated offences; that as they hold their jolly conference in Blackpool their real views are being suppressed to gain votes.

As the review of March of the Titans, A History of the White Race by Arthur Kemp
shows, this cloak is wearing thin.

As Edmund points out,

  • In 'The "Final Solution": Nazi Policy towards Jews', Kemp reproduces a 1944 'prisoner's release note' from the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, using it to argue that 'imprisonment at the camps was not necessarily permanent' and that the release note was written 'supposedly at the height of that camp's gas chamber operations'. Kemp continues: 'The belief that imprisonment at Auschwitz meant gassing is belied by the release of prisoners from this camp and by the fact that many thousands of inmates did in fact survive'.
This is clearly an attempt at revisionism. That Kemp is so contemptuous as to use a single example as being a fact speaks volumes.

His chapter on the Third Reich offers no condemnation of Nazi actions only explanations we are invited to use to excuse Hitler.
  • a large amount of what has been written about Hitler and Nazi Germany has been particularly subject to the pressure of political correctness........
Here's his take on Kristallnacht:
  • The assassination of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath sparked a week long anti-Jewish pogrom in Germany resulting the famous "Crystal Night" where the window fronts of Jewish shops across Germany were smashed.
No mention of the start of the deportation of Jews to concentration camps.

Another example of his kindergareten approach to argument is this:
  • NAZIS SUPPRESS DEMOCRACY

    A trademark characteristic of Hitler and the Nazi Party - they never made any secret of it - was their abhorrence of democracy. Firmly believing in the leadership principle, where one leader took the responsibility for the major decisions, as soon as the Nazis came to power, they started with a program of entrenching themselves in power to the exclusion of other parties and opposition movements.

    This anti-democratic movement extended past the political front: freedom of the press and eventually freedom of speech was also suspended. Although these were reversals of the democratic process, Germany was not alone in this: indeed, even at the end of the 20th century, still only one country on earth - the United States of America - guarantees its citizens total freedom of speech: every single other country on earth has one or another form of restriction on free speech, most notably in the area of race relations, where all European countries have made it a criminal offense to discuss racially related topics which are openly debated in America.

He then waxes lyrically at the successes of Nazi Germany - ant-smoking measures, promotion of mineral water, anti-vivisection (no mention of humans here) and disturbingly,
  • Nazi Germany also forbid the use of the pesticide DDT on the grounds that it was a health hazard (it would be decades before this policy was adopted by other countries) and instead used a German produced version known as Cyclone-B.
This sounds like a smug revisionist in-joke. The real reason Zyklon B was found at Auschwitz perhaps? Sinister!

Kemp, chillingly ends the chapter thus:
  • All things said, to have been a Jew in Nazi Germany could not have been a pleasant experience: but, as the over 4.3 million claims against the post war German state from Jews who suffered as a result of this persecution, (by 1998 the German state had paid out over $50 billion in reparations), certainly far fewer died than what is most often claimed. Increasingly, all the evidence urges a complete revision of this aspect of the history of World War Two.
This is what the BNP want your children to learn. Debate is one thing; lies another. The picture above is from Darby's blog on their conference. Note the Aryan girl up front, Barnbrook the Brown Jacket to the left and amazingly, a chap with a dog collar to the right.

There we have it. The image they want you to see:a scene from the latest Parish magazine in a quaint village full of indigenous, bicycle-clipped worthies, whilst all the time peddling filth like Kemp's book.

Lest We Forget: No Place For BNP in Poppy Day Remembrance


As we approach November 11th, the BNP is again trying to exploit the annual British Legion Poppy Day. As Griffin points out on his party's site,

  • British National Party supporters must make an extra effort to assist the national Poppy Day appeal as poppy-sellers to help avert the worker-shortage crisis for that charity, BNP leader Nick Griffin has said.
This is a repeat of last year when the BNP tried to hijack the Remembrance Day for their own odious political ends. Whilst many people still feel a little uneasy in wearing the poppy these days - In the 80s, I used to have a complimentary white one, hastily made with tippex and guaranteed to produce head-clearing effects in warm rooms - what with Iraq and the debate over Haig, I do feel that it should be maintained. Death is death whatever the battlefield.

In 2003 - as reported by the Wakefield Express - wreaths were used as placards for the BNP:
  • Incensed bystanders at Sunday's service at the Rishworth Street memorial watched as a BNP representative marched up to lay a wreath under the guise of East Ardsley Conservative Club.
    Horrified dignitaries quickly realised what the wreath stood for and it was immediately removed.
  • And a wreath bearing the BNP logo was also placed at a memorial in Horbury with a note which read 'You fought bravely to keep this country for your own. Rest in Peace. Now it's our turn'.
    Both wreaths caused distress to war veterans and members of the public.
Earlier this year, ex-BNP councillor, Tony Bamber put out a leaflet - later deemed insufficiently inflammatory for prosecution - demanding Muslims apologise for the heroin trade and making the bizarre claim that before the 'Islamic invasion, it was almost impossible to find heroin here' . In addition to this vile hate-mongering, he saw fit to call his band 'Preston Pals' in a blatant attempt to link to a famous WWI volunteer force. Lancaster Unity add,
  • Bamber, in keeping with the BNP's long-established tradition of jumping on any available bandwagon, formed a fictitious group a couple of years back, which he called the 'Preston Pals', a reference to the company of volunteers from Preston who were eventually formed into 'D' company, 7th Battalion, the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, to fight in World War I.
The British Legion, hopefully, will not forget what was said at the time:
  • The Royal British Legion (RBL) has roundly condemned this misappropriation of the name by the BNP, with its spokesman Patrick Leavey saying; '[The Preston Pals] sacrifice should not be besmirched by people engaged in political campaigning for such an ugly cause. We condemn this leaflet, its contents, and those who are disseminating it'.
In 2007, the Sunday Mail in Scotland was appalled at the hijack attempt,
  • Jim Panton, chief executive of Poppyscotland, said: "I had no idea the BNP have tried to get involved in the Poppy Appeal.

    "It's outrageous for any organisation or group to try to hijack the poppy for their own benefit or gain.

    "It is a misuse and misrepresentation of the sentiment of the appeal and we would take a strong line against that.

    "We are apolitical and have not asked any party to back us."

No doubt people will tell me that these people are individuals and have the freedom to do as they please, and that help is help. The Royal British Legion does not seem to share this view:
  • Neil Griffiths, of the Royal British Legion Scotland, said: "We abhor any association with the BNP. I worked most ofmy military career with Gurkhas and feel angry by any level of racism when I encounter it.

    "The BNP seem to have forgotten that the Indian Army in the Second World War had two million members.

    "It was the biggest volunteer army in military history and it played a huge role in the war."

And there we have it. Whilst other political parties attend cenotaphs and lay wreaths, overtly provocative ones like those from the BNP are not wanted. A party that would not let Indians join has no place on a day when sacrifices are remembered; a party that has produced a so-called White History resource cannot stand next to someone remembering slaughtered skin of all colours.

It barely needs stating of the sacrifice made in one particular conflict against the very credo the BNP is connected to but tries to distance itself from. This is another attempt to gain legitimacy and the RBL should be firm, notwithstanding the ageing membership and dearth of volunteers. Poppies are still prevalent in pubs, shops and offices and I for one will be wearing one.

In the award-winning 'Cooke Retort', Councillor Tiggiwinkle took me to task about speed cameras.

The BNP supporter may now be researching into whether cameras played a part in the death of Joerg Haider, the Austrian leader of the Future Party.

The BBC report as follows:

  • Austrian far-right politician Joerg Haider was driving at twice the speed limit when he died in a crash early on Saturday, court officials have said.

    Mr Haider, 58, was travelling alone at 142km/h (88mph) in a 70km/h zone when his Volkswagen Phaeton V6 crashed.

    The accident occurred south of Klagenfurt, the capital of Carinthia, where he was the provincial governor.

    He was leader of the Alliance for Austria's Future, and was known for his anti-immigration and anti-EU policies.

    Mr Haider had crashed shortly after leaving a nightclub.

  • In 1991, his term as governor of the province of Carinthia was interrupted, after he made comments praising employment policies of Nazi Germany.

t's a bit unfair having another go at Cllr Chris but it gets people looking at his RTA of a site and he comes here to trade handbags. The possible rise of the right-wing parties across Europe is a very real threat given the economic circumstances. What of the BNP's greatest monobrow? What sayeth Brother Simon 'Two Wardrobes' Darby?

This is a good indicator of the real BNP. They claim to be a non-racist party, just looking after the indigenous population oppressed by the minorities. They don suits instead of black shirts, but the underlying message is the same.

Like 'Nick' Griffin of the BNP, Haider sought to distance himself from more controversial beliefs.

Notwithstanding that his mother and father had been Nazis and that land had been acquired by his uncle from Jews at a knockdown price, he joined nationalist organisations from an early stage, in much the same way as Nasty Nick inherited some of his political beliefs from his father, ex-Tory, Edgar.

Griffin has still not comprehensively retracted his comments about the Holocaust and Haider leaves behind a smokescreen over his past views on Nazi concentration camps and German employment methods. As the BBC reported in 2000,
  • His first stint as governor in 1989 ended abruptly when he praised the employment policies of Nazi Germany and was forced to resign.

    A few years later, he described World War II concentration camps as "punishment camps" and said the Nazi SS was "a part of the German army which should be honoured".
Cllr Cooke may be a lightweight in the BNP stakes - he still claims to be independent - but he has been superseded by a proper badge-carrying councillor in the West Midlands: Russ 'I did put an opinion poll on this site i thought it would be a bit of fun but some people can't even be trusted to take part in somthing as simple as that, a supporter or supporters of the Labour Party, found a way to cheat, labour had almost 600 votes so far this month, my site had recieved just over 300 hits so far this month, it seems cheats will always cheat. ' Green of Tipton.

We had a jolly time at the Preston Citizen, where he attempted to justify a smear campaign leaflet and refused to apologise for the use by BNP member Tony Bamber of a picture of Rachel Whitear despite protests from the dead girl's parents.

The BNP will use any tragedy to further their cause. Haider's death is only a tragedy in the sense that his work will continue and the economic crash brings far more capital for the Right than Haider's Downfall.

ITV Muck Spreading



Gardener-cum-novelist-cum-chef-cum-travel guru-cum-chat show doyen, Alan Titchmarsh had some interesting guests on his show on Tuesday. (I shudder to think about the type of google search terms that sentence will drive here, !).

According to eyebrow cultivator and erstwhile BNP deputy, Simon 'Two Wardrobes' Darby, he was a guest on the show together with loudmouth moron, Jon Gaunt of The Sun. Apparently, Diane Abbot, whilst willing to play footsie with Portillo, is not ready or able to share a sofa with the Indigenenous Ignoramus.

So, it would seem, ITV try to have a debate on the Gurkhas with two right-wing shits, albeit that Gaunt, like Littlejohn, churns out similar populist bile, but distances himself from the BNP. Given Gaunty's debating skill (or lack of it), this smacks of a publicity coup for a party trying to distance itself from its image of Holocaust deniers and skull-breakers. Whilst Barnbrook is largely a figure of fun, Darby is more articulate and an astute media player.

The programme is not yet available on watch again facility so I'll wait before making a full post.

What has been particularly galling is the way the right-wing and especially the BNP have used the Gurkha issue to claim the moral high ground. Although successive Governments have let them down, Labour should be ashamed at letting this own goal in.

As can be seen (just) in the screenshot of ITV's site, Alan celebrates the best of British.......and honours those who contribute to their communities and help make our nation a better place.

Gaunty and the BNP: best of British!
Two of the quotes are from John Gaunt, the other two are by Richard Barnbrook and Nick Griffin.
