HelenB, Paul Burke and Crow Sister,

As I have repeatedly said on this board and everywhere else, there is NO EXCUSE for the BNP. Never Surrender!

The response to HelenB's justifiable list of concerns is for aggrieved and concerned people to insist that the democratic political parties - whether they be Lib/Lab/Con, whatever, to do the following;

*Build more hospitals
*Build more schools
*Build more social housing
*Increase the minimium wage
*Enforce the minimum wage ruthlessly for *all* workers so the playing field is level.

The response to a lack of social resources is not to find scapegoats and "send 'em 'ome", becaus the same shortages will persist unless governments start dealing fairly with the people *all people*. "Send 'em 'ome" is one step from "Lock 'em 'up" and that was, in the last Nazi country in Europe, one step from the gas chambers.

HelenB, BNP "sympathisers" need to get a grip on this issue. The racist. fascist hardcore of the party will just keep on picking targets and scapegoats because their lives will never improve because they will never take responsibility for themselves. Their problems will always be someone else's fault. that is why they cannot be reasoned with, why they cannot be tolerated or humoured.

Maybe you need to ask yourself the question that *they* need to ask themselves which is, instead of calculating and resenting what you believe other people are "getting", why not do something positive yourself that actually improves your own life in your own community!

""Far from being fascists, their background is the labour movement. [..] They are not fascist thugs.
The BNP leadership are fascist thugs, but they are the only ones who will listen.
The major parties just call their legitimate concerns "racism."

I don't personally know, whether the 'concerns' of such working class people are 'legitimate' as I don't myself see a massive influx of immigrants. For my own part, I suspect that the concerns of such people, have been generated by the Media.

But whether those concerns be legitimate, or no, in a Democracy they do have a right for those concerns to be heard and addressed, and not to have them automatically labeled 'fascism'. For if their concerns are dismissed as fascism, then they will be alienated from more moderate parties and policies, and turn to those who *are* fascist, who will welcome them home with open arms.

It's a riot reading the posts for support for the BNP. It's the same logic that the KKK used here.
From what I've read they are sister organizations, with the exception that we here in the US have been plagued by the Clan long enough to know & feel that they are a stain on human race. You who support the BNP & other forms of racism will eventually be colored by the same stain that has for eons discolored the landscape of humanity.

i also live in a semi rural town. there are alot of folks unemployed or who commute into manchster to work.

and those who say the migraants nicked our jobs, piffle! they are willing to do anything, they will do the jobs that most people don't want.

it is NOT their fault that the bosses pay them less, if in fact they do.
it is NOT their fault that their bosses often cut corners and provide very basic safety.
it is NOT their fault that the law has overlooked this issuse for far too long.

the great thing about the BNP being taken to court or even them getting votes, is that this particulaer can of worms has finally been opened.

all these complaints that the BNP make against (im)migrants should be talked about by government, by the media, and by the people of the great country. and by god they are!

i have listened to a phone in radio show for the last 2 weeks every night. can you guess what they have been talking about every other night?   the message, the values(if you van call them that) and the methods of the BNP......WONDERFUL STUFF.

if the other parties do not address this problem now, then i dispair!

the appathy shown in the euro elections, i hope is no indicator as to how the things will go in the general elections, which we will be having soon.

yes i used my vote last time and i will again, maybe i didn't vote as my heart dictated but with my head as a way of keeping the BNP in their place.

surely with these charges hanging over them and the constant publicity about what they truely are, they have even less chance than before to make an impact on the place we call home.

take care all

I was suggesting that those who sit on their arses moaning that the reason they are unemployed is because someone else has nicked their Job should take a leaf out of the so called thieves book and try looking further than their own doorstep.

Our foreign workforce have travelled a long way to get work. These BNP supporters seem to think that work should be brought to them.

There's a lovely Irony here.


I keep reading about people Migrating long distances to find work, then complaints about how there is no work in "my area".


Where I live, most people commute for an hour to get to work and an hour to get back.

How many places could a guy commute to that are within an hour from Codnor?

His wife would spend money in the local shop etc ...

... money comes into the area .. etc ...


The area I live in also has a good safety net for those who are down on their luck - I know - I relied on it - it's the same as that which exists in every other town in England and Wales.


Motivation is the key - and the BNP won't provide that.

Good education and support for young people is what deprived communities need.

The BNP will not provide any of those things.

A sense of hope and optimism is what need to be inspired.

The BNP will only encourage people to blame each other and cause communities to spiral downwards into hatred resentment and Violence.

most BNP voters are working class city dwellers

I think you'll find that many BNP are peripheral areas which were formerly Labour Party heartlands. Certainly that's true of Codnor, where the recent BNP rally was held.

The ordinary folk (who are sometimes not very well educated) have a real beef- they are often, were it not for the dole, destitute. Their parents used to be Labour Party supporters, but the LP went off in chase of middle class votes (long before Blair). Their parents were Trades Unionists, and Labour supporters, because it gave them hope of improvement. Where's that hope now?

I'm as anti- racist as they come, but I also think it's time the official antiracists (Local authority, government, and from all the major political parties) told the people of Codnor, and all the other abandoned areas, what they intend to do to make it possible for them, and their children, and their grandchildren, to make a decent living.

One interesting thought.

Baldrick, being colour blind, should not have quite so much to say on the subject.

Black organisations like:-

""Board Of Deputies of British Jews
Jewish Telegraph
Antrim Chinese Community Association
Barnardos Chinese Lay Health Project
Chinese Welfare Association""

would probably hold meetings for their BLACK members in a telephone box, and have room for a buffet.

Does point up though a few groups other than afro or asian peoples, who could expect very short shrift from Nick the Bigot and his charming little playmates.

And when you make lists of inflammatory statements, how about attemting to back them up with EVIDENCE, rather than simply trotting out the same old myths and cliches?

We should really be grateful that the Public Relations Department of the BNP can spare their valuable time to grace us with these pearls of wisdom from time to time. By educating us on their policies and motivations they are giving the general public the opportunity to make a more informed decision on where to cast our votes. Such dedication should be applauded and encouraged. The major parties could learn a lot from watching the BNP's vote-catching strategies - in fact I suspect that they already have. The 'paper candidate' technique, for example - if you know how unpopular your party's policies are going to be, you find some easily manipulated politically ignorant moron to stand up and take all the flak.

So, just to finish off that Race Relations Act business,

The BNP is a membership association, not covered by other sections of the act, and has over 25 members.

It cannot discriminate against membership applications on the grounds of colour.

A constitution which, as it does, sets out a definition of acceptable members as [to cut a long story short] white skinned is unlawful.

They cannot claim that they are only an association of defined ethnic(non-colour identified) people because they do not screen applicants at a DNA level, which is the only way to prove your eligibility for membership as it is presently defined. Applicants are not asked to prove their membership of any of the defined groups, the only de facto test the BNP applies to membership applications is one of colour; are you white or not?

So if a white skinned person can have an application approved regardless of ethnic heritage then it follows that a black or other coloured skinned person must also have their application approved regardless of ethnic heritage. Simple as that.

Now, as for the list of "ethnic" associations listed by the fascist troll, check them out. Many are not membership associations, they are advocacy or advice bodies (like the Black Mental Health UK). They don't have members, they don't need an exemption, they only exist to provide advice to people.

Anything "Asian" or "Muslim" or "African" or "Chinese" is not a reference to colour. Any modern reference to "Black" invariably means "Black and Minority Ethnic" and is not a colour definition. For gawd's sake anyone actually living in this century knows this stuff. Any reference to "Women" is not colour specific. Anyone with doubts can look up all these organisations, there is no colour bar to membership, where they are actually membership associations.

I am not lecturing to the enlightened, but I reckon its important to spread the word about the Race Relations Act and why the BNP has an unlawful constitution and why these other advocacy and support groups are compliant and necessary for society.

I know the knuckle dragging troll is on a wind up about the legal action and the various associations. But it is important for people to understand the reasons for this. Thanks Gervase, you are quite right about the NBPA, as I have pointed out here before.

It is essential to understand the legislation. Various sections of the Race Relations Act deal with different types of organisations and areas of public life. For the purposes of the act, political parties fall under S.25 - associations not covered elsewhere and particulary not covered by S.11 (trade unions). There are exemptions (in S.26) for some associations. S. 25 and S. 26 appear below
---------------------------

25 Discrimination: associations not within s. 11.

(1)This section applies to any association of persons (however described, whether corporate or unincorporate, and whether or not its activities are carried on for profit) if—.
(a)it has twenty-five or more members; and.
(b)admission to membership is regulated by its constitution and is so conducted that the members do not constitute a section of the public within the meaning of section 20(1); and.
(c)it is not an organisation to which section 11 applies.

(2)It is unlawful for an association to which this section applies, in the case of a person who is not a member of the association, to discriminate against him—.
(a)in the terms on which it is prepared to admit him to membership; or.
(b)by refusing or deliberately omitting to accept his application for membership..

(3)It is unlawful for an association to which this section applies, in the case of a person who is a member or associate of the association, to discriminate against him—.
(a)in the way it affords him access to any benefits, facilities or services, or by refusing or deliberately omitting to afford him access to them; or.
(b)in the case of a member, by depriving him of membership, or varying the terms on which he is a member; or.
(c)in the case of an associate, by depriving him of his rights as an associate, or varying those rights; or.
(d)in either case, by subjecting him to any other detriment..

(4)For the purposes of this section—.
(a)a person is a member of an association if he belongs to it by virtue of his admission to any sort of membership provided for by its constitution (and is not merely a person with certain rights under its constitution by virtue of his membership of some other association), and references to membership of an association shall be construed accordingly;.
(b)a person is an associate of an association to which this section applies if, not being a member of it, he has under its constitution some or all of the rights enjoyed by members (or would have apart from any provision in its constitution authorising the refusal of those rights in particular cases)..


26 Exception from s. 25 for certain associations.

(1)An association to which section 25 applies is within this subsection if the main object of the association is to enable the benefits of membership (whatever they may be) to be enjoyed by persons of a particular racial group defined otherwise than by reference to colour; and in determining whether that is the main object of an association regard shall be had to the essential character of the association and to all relevant circumstances including, in particular, the extent to which the affairs of the association are so conducted that the persons primarily enjoying the benefits of membership are of the racial group in question..

(2)In the case of an association within subsection (1), nothing in section 25 shall render unlawful any act not involving discrimination on the ground of colour.
-----------------------

Now I have to do some work, will come back to this later if anyone is unsure why the BNP are not a S.26 association and why the others in the troll's email are.

The second paragraph on the home page states: The NBPA is open to all in policing on application, there is no bar to membership based on colour.
And yet the BNP bangs on about the NBPA every time someone has a pop at it for it's colour bar.
The BNP's own constitution says: "The British National Party represents the collective national, environmental, political, racial, folkish, social, cultural, religious and economic interests of the indigenous Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and Norse folk communities of Britain and those we regard as closely related and ethnically assimilated or assimilable aboriginal members of the European race also resident in Britain. Membership of the BNP is strictly defined within the terms of, and our members also self define themselves within, the legal ambit of a defined 'racial group' this being 'indigenous caucasian' and defined 'ethnic groups' emanating from that race as specified in law in the House of Lords case of Mandla V Dowell Lee (1983)."

why   is Trevor Phillips of the "Equalities Commission" selectively pursuing legal action against the BNP for having a "British membership only" when there are other organizations within Britain that only allow black or Asian membership....in the interests of the "equality" that he espouses these should also face the same brand of legal action wouldn't you think??

BNP George is being honest. This is why observers of the British Nazi Party have always maintained that they must not be treated as other political parties are treated.

The true political objectives of the "elite" - famous racist neo-nazis like Griffin, Brons and interntional terrorists like Lambertus Nieuwhof - and their close associates are all too obvious. They remain obvious because Griffin runs over to the KKK in America to reassure them that he is only lying to the British Public when he says the party is not racist, and then gets video'd doing it. Twat.

Some BNP activists and candidates are just old-fashioned "send 'em 'ome" racists that are prepared to fall in with Nazi's to see the job done, and others are just Nazis themselves and revel in it.

Then there are a whole layer of pig-ignorant lackies such as George who allow their names to be used as electoral cannon fodder.

Joe - before you delete this post, think carefully. Someone just came on here and said that they stood for elected public office under the banner of a party whose policies they neither knew nor supported, moreover they claimed not to have any political beliefs at all and no idea what they might do or say once in office. I think the description "pig-ignorant lackie" is well earned.

The BNP does not have a body politic, it does not really have coherent policies or at least none of which they are prepared to speak truthfully. The BNP is a lurking Griffin / Brons dictatorship that seeks to use and subvert the democratic process for its totally undemocratic aims.

That is why Griffin needs to be egged and heckled and frustrated at every possible opportunity. He cannot be allowed the privileges of the democratic process.

"I was a 'paper candidate' I did not knock on any doors or give any speeches.

I am not well versed in politics and have not had to 'field' any questions."


What would you have done if you had been elected?


"I am not well versed in politics"

But you were prepared to be a part of a decision making body that affects and changes peoples lives?

Big Risk don't you think?


And wohse views would you have represented?

yours? ... oh .... you imply that you don't really have any ...

The BNP's? ... well you stood on their ticket ...


Did you think you had no chance of winning?

Then why stand?



Your argument above is inconsistent.

At least be honest with us.
