Agree, you see this is the problem we have here. There are conclusions been made about the BNP and myself which are not soundly based. I simply don't want to, (and don't understand why anyone would think i would want to) produce a scientific hypothesis that one race is more able than another. To be quite honest, i have met people from many ethnic backgrounds, some more intelligant than some, others more than others. I simply take individuals on their individual merit.

I aplogize to anyone as a recent post commented if i became agitated, but as i commented, been called a nazi is not nice. I have family who fought in WW2 against Nazism, and therefore clearly you can understand why i would feel offended.

To return to the original point of this entire thread, i.e the PPB Corporal Fox folk song.

All i can say to finally sum up our position after this lengthy discussion, which has been fun, i will give it to you guys, haha, you certainly know how to give a BNP member a hard time, i will sum up with this:

The BNP is backing folk music to the full, and we are going to be producing a LOT of it in the very near future for mass distribution, so we are not going away. We hope to spread decent music, not all political by any means, as that would be boring to general public. I, as the person heading this project will never tolerate racist lyrics, sentiment or anything which spreads hatred through the use of folk music, specifically folk/protest. If i do, you can take that as a definite confirmation of what perhaps a few on here believed about the BNP and myself. I have never pretended the BNP is perfect, but i will say again, the BNP is progressing, and why are we progressing? One of the reasons, (though not the main reason) is that we no longer tolerate the old-fringe element, which has and will continue to recieve their marching orders. I could have come on here and played the fool who pretended that the BNP has never in the past had any bad apples, but i believed, as you are the people believe it or not i usually spend my weekends with around Hull/East Riding in the local folk-clubs, that it would have been an insult to your intelligance. We believe the public will only take us more seriously when we stand evermore a proffessional party and have showed to the public that we do not tolerate fools within the party.
I understand feelings run high on this subject on this thread, so i am going to apologize to anyone i may have snapped at, specifically when they called me a nazi, and i will also forget those accusations, as i simply don't accept them to be true.

One excellant opportunity that has arisen from this thread is that a long-lost friend of mine recognised me on this thread, he is a member of SWP believe it or not, haha, and he rang around old friends and has invited me to play at his local folk club near Hull shortly as a guest.

It has been nice talking to you all, and wish ALL of you the very best, hopefully when in a few months our music starts reaching you, sorry folks, it's going to!!! Then i will come back on here and see what your reactions are, good and bad. Anyway, now i am leaving the thread to get on with my work, those who want to can now bash me to their hearts content;-)

Best regards,

David Hannam
