Rose, David
The Guardian (1959-2003): May 31. 1986:
ProQuesl Historical Newspapers: The Guardian and The Observer
A leader erf the Federation of Conservative Students wrote to an organiser of. the British National Party proposing Joint "dlrect action " to disrupt the meetings of leftwing subjects.
Secrecy, he emphasised, essential: “The Reds would simply go wild if they got to hear of a BNF-FCS link. I would personally be in danger of being expelled from the Conservative party"
The author of the letter is Mr Paul Delarte-Staines, the chairman of the federation’s 50-strong branch at the Humberside college of Higher Education. Mr Delarte-Staines. who is in his first year of a degree course- in business information studies, wrote on May 22 to Mr lan Walker, a BNT organiser in Hull.
David Rose reports on a secret attempt to form a pact with the British National Party
He was, he said, against several of the aims of the BNP, which campaigns for the repa¬triation of black citizens. Several of rta members have been convicted of offences under the Race Sections Act, and others for crimes of violence against ethnic minorities. Its leader, Mr John Tyndall, Is a former chairman of the National Front Mr Delarie-Staines' said he did not share the BNP view on. immigration: as a member of the Hanitarian " faction of the PCS he advocated the free movement of labour, albeit with the caveat that “you come here to work — or starve. ”
He went on: "I share a lot of your objectives. '* These In¬cluded a return to leadership, and statesmanahip, the aboli¬tion of the welfare state, and '"the elimination of Communism in Britain in the mass media, the trade unions, and the schoolroom.”
Mr Delaire-Staines continued:         
" Nevertheless, even though we have our differ¬ences, I know a lot of BNP people at college do support the FCS (some are members of the FCS). I can certainly envisage some degree of cooperation.
" For instance, we are moving away, from just the normal political debate and towards more direct action — anti-Communist slogans on bridges, disrupting the leftist meetings by posing as leftists and then causing trouble, ‘and also convincing individual leftists of the error of their ways.
“Perhaps members of the BNP would care to join us in our anti-leftist activities. We can arrange a meeting to dis¬cuss possible joint future activities. ’

Other examples of Mr Delaire Staines work reached the Guardian, including a number of songs'.
One entitled FCS Bootboys, reads:

"Gas them all, gas them all, the Tribune group trendies’ and all.
Crush Wedgwood Benn and make glue from his bones.
Burn the broad left in their middle class drone,
“Yes-we’re saying goodbye to the Left, as safe in their graveyards they rest.
'Cos we they’ll get no farther. We'll stop with murder, the bootboys of-FCS

In a letter to a friend, Mr Delairé'Staines said that he had been on a "community arts course — well, not exactly community arts, more spray- painting a. bridge at 3am. ' Quite Good fun really, ducking out of sight of passing police cars'.
Mr Delaire-Staines told, the Guardian that. he had not meant violence by direct action at leftist meetings, only "causing as much noise as possible”.
He said that he had tried to forge a link with the BNP because "to; share their anti-Communist view," He added: “'They're not. far- right They're Just racists/ they believe in one colour"
Mr John Barcow. the nations! chairman of FCS and a Lambeth councillor, said that Mr Delaire-Staines was “a bit silly. I wouldn’t hold it against him. I'm sure he'll grow out of it.
After hearing extracts from the letter to the BNP he added, "He's absolutely right that he’s in danger of being thrown out of the Conservative Party. ”
Mr James Goodman, the Conservative Central Office of' offcial responsibility for the FCS, said: "The evidence comes my way I will certainly look into it.”
