I don’t suppose Richard Littlejohn was the first to suffer but he was one of the first and he remains one of the most prominent. And as he’s been loudly exhibiting the symptoms for years, and making a damned good living out of it, it seems fitting that the syndrome should carry his name.Of course he’s not the only one. Peter Hitchens, Leo McKinstry, Melanie Phillips and Minette Marrin display similar symptoms, and there are others, and their number grows. And they’re not confined to the written mass media, although that’s where the symptoms first began to express themselves. Now we see evidence of them in politicians, and members of the public are showing signs too. Something’s catching.
Littlejohn made his mark as a critic come satirist of liberal-left thought processes. And he played an important part in making criticism of political correctness socially acceptable, and he continues to play it. The others I’ve referred to might not necessarily walk in step with him but they take the same route and they too undermine pc by questioning its logic.
It’s not that opposition to pc is symptomatic of the Littlejohn Syndrome - although I’m sure there are plenty of liberals and lefties who’d argue that it’s a sign of ill health. But pc is the opposite of what’s natural so it’s healthy to oppose it. What one can’t do is oppose political correctness whilst supporting the logic that underpins it - that’s irrational. And as my granddad used to say, “Tha can be one thing or t’other; tha can’t be both.” The Littlejohn Syndrome is characterised by this behaviour; it is a function of the struggle to compromise the fact of political correctness and the theory of universal equality.
Pc is the result of a way of thinking; it is universal egalitarianism in action. And opposition to it leads logically to opposition to the world view that brought it into being. Yet for all their opposition to pc and the liberal mindset, perversely, Littlejohn et al are unwilling to make the connection between it and its purpose. They confine themselves to the safe side of the argument. They attack the symptoms, political correctness, yet accept the virus, egalitarian thinking; it’s textbook Littlejohn Syndrome.
Littlejohn is an ‘acceptable extremist’, and not far behind him are Peter Hitchens, Leo McKistry, and Melanie Phillips, and then Minette Marrin with her middle class common sense - no doubt you have others to add to the list. These people have made a success out of being politically incorrect. Isn’t Littlejohn one of the highest paid in journalism?
And that’s odd. You’d think the highest paid journalists would be those most in tune with convention. In the age of the internet newspapers are struggling to balance their two functions - earning a living and maintaining the status quo. Simply, the stuff they report on doesn’t gel with their explanation of it; the facts contradict their theory. One would have thought that the highest paid journalists would be those with the ability to most mirror reality in terms that are consistent with the liberal elite’s explanation of it.
But apparently not. The most handsomely rewarded amongst establishment journalists are those who, on the face of it, do most to undermine the establishment’s grip on society.
How can this be explained? Is it an example of freedom of the press? Is it about readership and money? Are Littlejohn and the others safety valves? Or is it a matter of credibility; newspapers can’t completely ignore reality even if they’d like to.
Each of these factors plays its part, but do they explain the paradox? Do they fully explain the venom and cutting accuracy in particular in Littlejohn’s and Hitchens’ assaults on the status quo? These people get paid for saying what others could get fired for. Their assaults on political correctness call into question its foundations; if the action is nonsensical then so is the thinking that inspired it. And the thinking that inspires pc is the thinking that underpins society, a belief in universal equality that the newspapers themselves subscribe to and have a vested interest in maintaining.
Perhaps we’ve reached a position where newspapers can only maintain credibility by attacking their own world view - or at least the politically correct manifestations of it. Maybe this explains the contrast between their comment and news sections; whereas columnists must at least go some way towards reflecting reality, the news is what the establishment wants us to know, no more no less.
Nevertheless there’s been a shift in thinking and now hardly anyone wants to be seen as ‘politically correct’. Pc thinking is losing credibility. Even liberals distance themselves from certain aspect of political correctness, but of course they still talk equality talk.
And that’s their biggest problem - how to disassociate the equality cult from its manifestations.
But the self styled no nonsense brigade in the press that has built a career on telling it like it is has a funny way of telling it. Their skill is in convincing their readership that a conclusion has been reached when in fact they’re only half way down the road to it. It’s a skill the newspapers are prepared to pay for, but it must take a toll on its practitioners; it’s like they’re avoiding finding what they can’t stop looking for.
It’s bizarre. But then behaviour characterised by the Littlejohn Syndrome is bizarre.
Sufferers are in a state of denial. They can’t admit the illogic of their stance because then their position becomes untenable. So they deny the obvious. In severe cases such as that of Littlejohn himself the denial borders on hysteria.
The problem with assaults on political correctness (and allied disciplines) is that they attract the wrong kind of people, the ‘unmentionables’. Members of the BNP, its supporters and others tending towards its understanding of society are more likely to read the ‘acceptable extremists’ than they are to read anyone else in the establishment media. Their writing comes closest to articulating a lot of what the BNP believes in.
And this is a pretty uncomfortable position for members of the establishment to be in. So every now and again the ‘acceptable extremists’ make a token effort to distance themselves from the conclusion that their writing points to. In the case of Richard Littlejohn a good half a dozen times a year he launches into an absurd tirade against the ‘knuckle-dragging BNP’, presumably in the hope that somehow it will erase the fact that much of what he says is compatible with much of what the BNP says.
Littlejohn uses the party also as a means of drawing a line under the discussion. He develops his argument up to a point and then some sort of trip switch is activated and the next thing he’s screaming gibberish at the BNP. It’s his way of saying the argument stops here. The next day the process will start over again and he’ll be back to giving pc absurdities a good kicking. And you’ll be waiting for another Littlejohn anti-BNP outburst.
Similarly with Peter Hitchens. This periodic ‘cleansing’ is pure charade. Littlejohn et al know perfectly well that their assaults on their audience have no effect and that the same people will continue to read what they write because it’s what they want to read. It’s odd. They’re denying the connection between what they write and who reads it; if they don’t like who their writing attracts maybe they should write something else.
So every now and again they put on a show of putting distance between themselves and that section of their readership they consider (publicly that is) undesirable, safe in the knowledge that just so long as they continue writing what they’re writing the same people will continue reading it and their all important readership numbers will be maintained.
The Littlejohn Syndrome isn’t confined to journalists of a certain outlook. It’s just that the symptoms are more pronounced there than anywhere else. Political correctness has arrived at its logical conclusion - a parody of itself that only the wilfully blind fail to see. It defies common sense. Few want to be associated with it yet all must offer public support for the thinking that brought it about or suffer the consequences.
But although it’s become acceptable to criticise political correctness the establishment is working flat out to ensure that criticism of the equality idea remains strictly taboo. 21st Century Britain is founded on universal equality and the establishment has no choice but to defend it to the death.
The absurdities of pc are impossible to ignore because they intrude on every aspect of our lives. Even the establishment must acknowledge their existence and criticises their excess. Yet criticism of pc cannot help but lead to criticism of the equality cult.
Much of the establishment and most of the people are struggling with this dilemma. Political correctness makes no sense; most everybody says so - even establishment people, and openly too. Yet the idea that spawned it, ethnic equivalence, is beyond question; everybody says so. The facts of the multiethnic multicultural society must never be brought to bear on the thinking behind it.
For instance, note how often politicians soften any criticism of political correctness with criticism of the BNP or what they term ‘the extreme right’. For credibility’s sake they must be critical of political correctness, but for their career’s sake they’ve got to be politically correct. A couple of days ago I listened to some bigwig from local government taking a swipe at political correctness - now that’s a laugh! Local government is the essence of pc, yet it too struggles with the contradiction between the realities of political correctness and the theory behind it. Politically correct isn’t logically correct.
Significantly television remains remarkably free from the Littlejohn Syndrome. There are no telly equivalents of the press’s ‘acceptable extremists.’ Jeremy Paxman has a bit of a reputation for speaking his mind, but he’s politically incorrect in attitude only. Comedians sometimes poke fun at pc but there’s never any cutting satire from them - and it’s not as if there’s a shortage of material. Littlejohn is funnier, and closer to the mark. TV doesn’t have its own Hitchens. It doesn’t even have its own Minette Marrin - it doesn’t have anyone who come close to questioning liberal orthodoxy.
Television works to convince us that all is well in the world of pc -it’s clear that that’s its primary function. It acts as though there’s no conflict between the establishment’s theory of universal equality and its practical application. Television is primarily a conduit for promoting political correctness; whatever the subject matter the common denominator of all television programmes is support for the equality idea. The Littlejohn Syndrome is the result of unresolved conflict between fact and theory. But as television is concerned more with theory than with fact, the conflict remains outside its sphere of reference and so TV is immune to its effects.
Not so with the general population who are very much in touch with the realities of political correctness. Our lives are as they are because of it. It defines our relationships with state and employer and with each other and it has shaped society. That’s its purpose. And there is a growing dissatisfaction with the product of its endeavours.
Political correctness is coming under increasing attack, and more importantly people are beginning now to criticise its effects. They’ve gone from poking fun at pc stupidities like ‘ethnic minority, disabled, lesbian, outreach worker’ to criticising the impact that mass third world immigration and the subsequent development of multiculturalism has had on British society. The one logically leads to the other and people are beginning to make the link. People’s experience of this brave new world that the liberal elite have created clashes with the liberal elite’s description of it.
The establishment is concerned that this line of reasoning leads ultimately to liberal society’s foundation stone, the idea of universal equality, and it is doing all it can to halt its progress. Television, radio, and the education system endlessly inculcate in the population a support for the idea of universal equality which they reinforce with a guilt-induced aversion to questioning it. The law has been shaped to protect the idea from criticism, and every arm of the state (and most of industry too) projects itself as if universal equality was a readily observable fact.
And it’s got to be said that thus far the establishment has been successful in its objective. People generally are afraid to follow their own reasoning to its logical conclusion. A psychological barrier has been constructed between the symptoms, which are pc and everything allied with it, and their cause, which is belief in universal equality, and most people are as yet unwilling to proceed beyond it.
There’s a snowball rolling here. The increase in pc creates resentment of pc which threatens the equality cult which increases the pc… Snowball!? Or melt-down?
The legal system and bureaucracy both play a part in defending universal egalitarianism, but self censorship is the major bulwark. Pc is concerned primarily with the consequences of mass immigration: The law makes criticism of immigration and its effects difficult, government agencies favour immigrants over the indigenous population, and a climate of guilt has been created to make people feel bad at questioning ‘diversity’.
Political correctness is an assault on the British way of life. It seeks to limit our expression of our culture in our country so as to create space for the expression of other cultures within our own, and it justifies this, in a round about way, by arguing that our country is not our own. So as you’d expect, pc is starting to get on people’s nerves. People are complaining about it.
But that’s all the vast majority of them are doing, complaining about political correctness in isolation. They’ve not gone that one step further to examine the thinking behind pc, why it’s being used against them, and what its ultimate purpose is. It would be a natural step to take - hence the establishment’s all-out effort to condition us not to take it.
They’re working hard to have us believe that it’s ‘racist’ to take that step, that you’re a ‘hater’ and a ‘fascist’ if you allow the realities of 21st Century multicultural Britain to colour your appreciation of universal egalitarianism. And their efforts do have an impact. How many times have you heard an ethnic Brit open a sentence with “I’m not a racist but…”, and then refer to an example of the racism (in whatever form) that ethnic Brits are subject to in their own country? The establishment’s mind games have got some people thinking it’s racist to be white and to perceive it!
This is classic Littlejohn Syndrome, where people refuse to think clearly and logically about matters to do with culture and ethnicity. In the case of the ‘acceptable extremists’ their reluctance to follow their own line of reasoning to its logical conclusion has a lot to do with self preservation. But in the case of most of the rest it’s because they’ve been ‘schooled’ that way. It’s like Pavlov’s dog but in this case the stimulus is race and culture, the reflex action is an immediate halt to the discussion, and the anticipated reward is feeling good about oneself. We’ve been taught to feel good when bowing to liberal orthodoxy.
The question is how long this tension can be maintained before something gives. Orthodoxy exists only for as long as it can answer the questions asked of it. The orthodoxy of universal egalitarianism acts as if it’s beyond question, but that’s bravado - the reality is it’s hiding from questions. The liberal elite have a strict policy, no platform for anyone who questions them - which is a measure of the confidence they have in their own thinking. It makes you wonder how many of them are just going along for the ride.
Universal egalitarianism might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but universal egalitarianism in practice, that is the multiethnic multicultural society sustained by political correctness, tends to make one question the theory behind the practice. And in a desperate effort to keep those awkward questions at bay, the liberal elites were forced to erect a legal, bureaucratic, and psychological barrier behind which their seriously flawed idea could hide.
But the hiding place is temporary respite. All theories are undone eventually by questions that they themselves prompt; universal egalitarianism is no different. And whatever its effort the liberal elite will not be able to shield its world view from the harsh stare of reality.
We’re witnessing the collapse of a world-defining idea. Egalitarianism has given us political correctness and the multicultural multiethnic state, and in spite of the massive pretence, everyone can see it’s falling apart. The practical application of egalitarianism doesn’t work therefore egalitarianism is flawed. And the more the liberal elite argue otherwise the more idiotic they become. Egalitarianism has had its day; a paradigm shift is taking place and the rug is being whipped from under the establishment’s feet. This shift is causing confusion which manifests itself as the Littlejohn Syndrome.
We’re still at the stage where the majority are denying the relationship between the malign influence of political correctness and egalitarianism. It’s hard to leave the security of accepted belief; it requires a complete evaluation of who we are and what we understand to be true. And some have more difficulty with it than others do. Most people prefer the simple life and would rather not have to struggle with grand ideas. But grand ideas are being forced on them. The collapse of the multiethnic multicultural model and the tyranny of political correctness lead inescapably back to the idea of universal egalitarianism. It doesn’t require any analysis, it’s as clear as day, everyone can see it - it’s just a matter of admitting it to ourselves for it to become immediately obvious. And once that step’s been taken there’s no going back.
Egalitarianism is on the slide.
The Littlejohn Syndrome is part of the process of coming to terms with the demise of a grand idea. It’s a sort of half way house if you like. It’s an attempt to compromise the realities of life with a theory of life that they contradict. And it seems a perfectly natural thing to do. We tend to prefer that which we know. But there comes a time when the realities of life demand a reappraisal of accepted beliefs. And it’s this reappraisal that terrifies the life out of the establishment. That’s why they’re so keen to keep people stuck at the Littlejohn stage - not knowing which way to turn.

Littlejohn and his colleagues have said just about echoed everything the BNP has on PC, race and immigration but according to his strange logic, the BNP
are a ‘racist’ party for saying the same thing. I wonder how many Daily Mail readers can see through this childish logic,
where it’s ok to to vent your frustrations about the disintegration of the Britain we used to know and love, but somehow immoral
to support a party that is trying to salavge the country and restore its dignity? Are these columnists really paid to placate
the publics anxiety on these crucial matters while trying to ingore or denigrate the BNP? I would say yes. But don’t count the Mail will admit that. If you mention the BNP in an comment on their online section, it won’t get posted. For example, I just looked through the 79 comments about the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Sharia Law remarks and couldn’t find a single comment mentioning how the BNP warned of such a development. However, you can’t fool all of the public all of the time. So eventually the mainstream press will be forced to change its tact towards the BNP.
What a brilliant article. I can hear the exploding heads of those suffering with Littlejohn Syndrome from here…
“Does not compute, does not compute, does not… KABOOOM”!
Brilliant article!
Let’s see how the “syndrome set” respond.
For Many years now, parasites like Littlejohn, Hitchens, Bushell etc etc etc have writen articles that wouldnt look out of place in a BNP publication, but then make it perfectly clear for all to see that they despise the BNP and all we stand for, although they have just defended everything we stand for in aforementioned article. What bloody hypocrites. That’s like me agreeing to everything Karl Marx ever said (which I don’t) and despising Marxism (which, by the way, I do).
If Littlejohn and all are just establishment safety valves, they have let off steam once too often. The great British public are all now so fed up with political correctness they are turning to the only party with the courage to end political correctness, the BNP.
ANOTHER GREAT PLAN BY THE ESTABLISHMENT THAT HAS SPECTACULARLY BACKFIRED…….WELL DONE LITTLEDICK, sorry I mean LITTLEJOHN………. Dave
What I find so infuriating about Richard Littlejohn, is that he gets the BNP argument, presents it as his own, real badly, with a load of bigoted rubbish mixed in, followed by the “Oh course I’m not as racist as that BNP crowd.”
Richard Littlejohn is a racist and homophobic little turd whom most BNP organisers would turn away from the party if he tried to join.
Most of these newspaper hacks are just like the well paid politicians they want to keep in power. Until their street is flooded by a wave of immigrants and/or their children are threatened, mugged or rapped, the BNP are a bunch of racist thugs. Then when their lives are turned upside down by government policies, watch them foam at the mouth with views that are too extreme for the BNP.
They are hypocrites and they make me sick.
Here is an excellent video on Google Video entitled ‘The History of Political Correctness’. It shows how it had its origins in the Marxist left of the 1930’s and was brought to prominence by Herbert Marcuse in America in the 1960’s. Also known as Cultural Marxism, it is a political strategy that aims to chip away at the foundations and structures of Western society and ultimately destroy it.

Over the past 15 months, I have read many fine articles published through the BNP website. They have often helped to stimulate fresh thinking on my part, or they have simply echoed what I have myself seen and experienced, during 27 years of working overseas, in 9 countries, with visits to 11 other diverse nations. I am always impressed when people who have travelled less than I write astute and accurate articles about the world and what has become Britain’s somewhat confused role in it.
You might say I was obliged to leave my own shores due the economic demise of my home area in the northwest of England during the late 1970s and early 80s, and the fact that I am an Engineer. As most Brits will know already, Engineers are 2nd class citizens in a Banker & Economist controlled culture. To avoid unemployment (and rabid feminism) I had to leave England: arguably and hitherto, one of the finest cultures humanity has ever fashioned.
But I would like to say without exaggeration, this article, “The Littlejohn Syndrome,” has to go down as one of the finest I have read anywhere on the Internet, and certainly one of the most superlative ever published on the BNP website. I congratulate its author, and its editor! An absolutely accurate assessment of reality, and also written with verve and panache.
At this rate of intellectual development, the BNP, it members and supporters, will be poised for political power within 4 years.
The figure “four years” is significant for another reason. In 2012 we will of course host the London Olympics. I predict, this event will finally stimulate or force a massive rupturing in British culture, society, and its economy. It will herald a revolution of sorts.
It was a very fateful decision to host the 2012 Olympics in London, with the British bid predicated on a full-blooded celebration of egalitarianism and multiculturalism. So, please put this in your diary … everything starts to change in Britain during 2012. The New World Order contradictions will no longer be tenable. When the 2012 Olympics open with a stream of black and brown-skinned ‘Londoners’ — where whites are conspicuous by their relative absence in the capital of England and political capital of the United Kingdom — then the acute embarrassment of the whole world seeing England as little more than a colony of American inspired Liberalism (a.k.a. social Communism) will be too much to bear. From then on, there will be no hiding place for deniers and apologists. Mayor Livingstone and his henchmen & women may well see out their remaining days in prison.
The reaction, when it comes, will not be pretty … there may even be violence thanks to the pent up frustrations and contradictions suddenly released as the dam wall of Liberalism finally breeches … but, beyond 2012, we will at last then have the opportunity to emerge back into the light as free men; free to repair the ancient institutions that made British democracy and law the envy of the world: free also to re-make them so they may work effectively in an unstable, over-populated, and energy starved world where millions of third worlders continue to assault our borders because their own wretched and corrupt nations have collapsed. We can and should be sympathetic to their plight, and help where we can, but we can only help if we ourselves are strong, with the means still to do so.
Right now, we remain locked on a course that will lead inevitably to our own destruction. What did all those young men die for during 1914-18 and 1939-45??? Surely not for the abomination we foolishly call ‘democracy’ today. If we fail to follow the example of our forebears, and act like men, then future historians will say (and with some contempt) that we did not even manage to go out with a bang … merely a whimper.
We all die someday. Most of us, if pushed, would rather leave this Earth in glory, or at least with our self respect intact, and certainly not wrapped in the shrouds of meekness and subservience: slaves to crooks, swindlers, liars, ideologues, and a very perverse ideology.
Put this article on the National Curriculum immediately! If you would be so kind.
I can see the Littlejohns of this world sitting there in a state of enhanced confusion, if not sheer terror as they try to work out what they’re supposed to think or say in order to preserve their Comfort Zone and retain their salaries. ‘Yeah but no but yeah but… we talk like nationalists, but we don’t walk the walk because… er… WE’RE TOO SCARED.’
My copy of ‘Littlejohn’s Britain’ was consigned to the recycler at the weekend. I got p*ssed off around page sixteen. Say what you want, mate, but don’t insult those who have the brains and the integrity to draw logical conclusions - and say what so badly needs to be said. We don’t have Eternity to stop Britain becoming a fifth-rate, crime-ridden, Euro-dominated wasteland.
‘Quit dreaming, and get on the beam!’
The BNP needs more articles like this, telling it like it is and provoking fresh interlectual debait - something the old parties can’t do because of their entrenched political positions - is the BNPs potential strength. I say potential because even though the BNP has come on leaps and bounds, it still has a way to go. More insight, more vision and less less of a ‘reactive’ attitude towards events. Also the BNP needs to have credible policies on a range of issues beyond Islam and immigration (more realistic economic policies for example).
Anyway, an excellent article!
I used to think ( head bowed in shame now) that Littlejohn was our only hope, i used to record his Sky half hour programme so that i could watch it again,for the “best bits”.
Then one day my liking of the man turned to disgust and betrayal,he had by this time joined the once decent but now appalling Daily Mail. In a long article that would have been perfect published in the VOF,he insulted the BNP no less than three times,using the words “odious”,”vile” and of course “racist”.
I took those words as a personal insult,if the BNP are odious then so too am i,but i am most definitely not. I then emailed him explaining how i felt, but predictably received no reply. I then emailed the editor of the Mail regarding the article, and offered to travel to London,buy him lunch and let him decide if,after a lengthy chat and a meal i could in any way be described as odious,vile or racist. Again no response.
The truth is,they all agree with our way of thinking,but simply have not got the guts to stand up and say so. Their cushy little numbers are too precious,more important than the future of the nation.
News team,a brilliantly written article,do not let it drop deep into the archives,keep it prominent,let the nation see it.
It’s Peter Hitchen I can not get my head around.He denigrates all parties but offers up no alternative. He speaks like a BNP member but says he hates us.The reason being i think is because he recently found out that he was half Jewish and thinks the BNP hate Jews. How far from the truth can you get. Join the BNP Hitchen then you can offer a true alternative to back your arguments.We do have a Jewish BNP councilor you know!
My brain just exploded.
Sorry for the mess.
I understand that Richard Littlejohn gets paid £750,000 per year to write his column in the Mail. They pay him that because they know he writes what the vast majority of their readers think.They are also aware of the powerful forces behind political correctness and so Mr.Littlejohn has to put in, on a regular basis,
a denunciation of the BNP, the one party that threatens the end of political correctness in this country.
To be fair these powerful forces behind political correctness hold real power. Anyone who has a job in the public sector and in many areas of the private sector know that if they spoke the truth about a number of subjects e.g. the fact that mass immigration has been a disaster for the indigenous people of this country, they would very quickly lose that job.
It is understandable that people who have mortgages and bills to pay have to keep their heads down in the current climate.
However increasing numbers of these people are beginning to realise that the only way out of this situation is to support and vote for the BNP.
This is what is worrying these powerful forces and this is why attacks on the BNP will intensify in the controlled media. The BNP just need to continue along its current path, increasing numbers of people are following them.
What people seem to forget about Littlejohn is that his best friend is TREVOR PHILLIPS the Black leader of the former C.R.E and now a leader of some other black power organisation. It would be No good at all for Littlejohn’s friendship with black man Phillips to be seen condoning BNP policies hence the reason for the anti BNP outbursts from time to time.

“Also the BNP needs to have credible policies on a range of issues beyond Islam and immigration (more realistic economic policies for example).”
I don’t agree with this. The BNP does have credible economic policies. It is LibLabCon and tiddly UKIP who are absolutely lacking here. After 30 years of liberal economics we are a basket case in reality. Brown going off to China and passing round the begging bowl certainly doesn’t do much for me. I would say that Con/Lab are guilty of treason in letting our industry go and I very much hope that there will be a reckoning for this.
We are in such an enfeebled economic state that a slump is inevitable here. In these circumstnces the future will certainly include strong siege economy elements. At present there isn’t any need to make a song and dance about it, but the effect on the Labour and Conservative parties will be devastating. Where will they go? What will they say? Those who take over will have to offer a fresh, if inevitably tough, approach. But as with the mass immigration disaster it isn’t the BNP which dug the hole so deep.
All of us in the BNP can feel the
greatest pride in the fact that not a single soul in Lib-Lab-Con-EU
gang has intellect, the depth of thought and the articulacy to produce an article of this calibre.
In an nutshell, surely it must be our greatest asset that they are
unbelievably stupid, totally detached from reality and often bordering on the insane, whereas we
have people of high intelligence, foresight and an uncommon ability to bring consummate analytical skills to bear on our current
situation and to see its causes
clearly.
We can unquestionably rebuild Britain to be not merely what it was but to a level of civilisation
not yet seen anywhere in the world.
But we must first unseat the nation-killers. All we need now is
the hardware.
The worst thing about Littlejohn is the way he piles on the agony about political correctness and immigration but then offers no solution - in fact, he denigrates the only available solution, the BNP.
The result is to leave readers feeling frustrated, powerless, hopeless and resigned. All the more reason to let everyone know about the BNP and what we stand for, and get those who are ready involved.
LITTLEJOHN IS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE I HERE IN A PUB TIME AND TIME AGAIN.IM NOT A BIGOT.BUT /////
It just seems to me that Richard is there as a tool to help suppress us, like the article states. His comments appease our worries by vaguely entering into this non-PC no go area. But then slashes us back into position and hence suppresses us in order to stop us realising that the actual cancer destroying ‘our’ lives and ‘our’ culture is this modern Utopianism ideology. His methods for this is using the 21st century’s equivalent of Witch Hunt Terminology, which happens to be “racists”, “bigots”, “fascists”, “Nazis”.
By twisting our minds due to fear of how hatred can be horrifying (holocaust Germany), this forces us into submission. The mindset generated by this ideology is very similar to the medieval mindset. For example back then anyone who challenged the interpretation of the bible by the Catholic Church was demonised (i.e. methods attempted to suppress men like Luther/ the Reformation 1517). Like today the medieval mindset is a ‘closed minded’ mindset.
The problem with today however is that we are ‘tricked’ into thinking that we can be open minded, by the so-called freedom of democracy, yet our 3 parties really are a blur with no REAL differences which gives us no real choice that would allow us to leave this ideology if we so chose. Conditioning methods deployed by the likes of LittleJohn ensure we stay within the box. Liberals may argue that they have allowed on occasion the BNP their say (i.e. Oxford, radio, Tv etc..), however these events usually are few, or controlled in such a way that our opponents are allowed to perform a lecture, whilst our own representatives are only allowed a few words.
I have the opinion ‘LittleJohn’ is there as a safety valve and a propaganda device. To let us vent ourselves but also keep us inline with this sickening closed minded ideology by his use of slurs upon the BNP. The man would not be in his position if he was not this tool. I do agree with other comments here saying that he probably is a “racist” and “homophobic”. But that is usually the case with these ‘liberal minded individuals’. People who go out on ‘grand campaigns’ in order to stop the so-called bigoted (yet pretending to hate PCness), usually turn out to be themselves the real carriers of hate and destruction they so seek to destroy.
Great article guys,
Keep this up and one day we may prevail without (hopefully anyway) physical bloodshed.
Chris
This is a fantastic article. I was truly on the edge of my seat reading this. My favourite line is “It’s like they’re avoiding finding what they can’t stop looking for.” Exactly. You can almost see the ‘does not compute’ look on Richards face.
Though self preservation may be the reason for some I do not think Richard and co are that shallow. The self censorship is completely real and at all levels of society. Orwell could see it in the British media in his day. “Circus dogs jump when the trainer cracks his whip,” Orwell wrote, “but the really well-trained dog is the one that turns his somersault when there is no whip.” They are well trained and its important to protect your children from the indoctrination on TV and at school, never has home schooling looked more attractive.
I believe most of these people visit this site regularly as I believe most MPs do. So if your reading this Richard, I hope you find the strength and courage to view the facts and come to unwanted conclusions. Trust your instincts and don’t let the bourgeoisie liberals dishearten you. Remember that the ‘outlaw’ Robin Hood is now a hero and that Alfred the great himself was regarded a terrorist in his own country by the Danes. He was forced to retreat and hide in the marshes. The BNP are in the marshes now. Vilified and demonized . Alfred regained his country partly by his training of intellectuals who could read and write and spread literature supporting his campaign. You have the power to do something. You can help save us from this living nightmare. We need an Alfred right now. We need quite a few of them.

He may be likeable, perceptive and humorous, but in the end all that Littlejohn has to offer is hopelessness, emptiness and despair, holding up the absurdities and inequalities of our society, of which we are all too aware, but offering no solution but a throw away remark “You couldn’t make it up”. He is arguably content with making a decent living from the status quo as a likeable commentator, (remember when Red Ken used to be likeable?), but this is not enough.
The fabric of our society is being attacked by our political servants turned masters, who dictate to us what they want, not what we want or have been consulted on, and often with the “Europe” tag as a supposed justification for some absurd new regulation. Even at the local level, they have followed this example, the words “Your obedient servant” have lost their meaning, and the taxpayers have become “customers”. As one person said, when asked if he was going to vote, “No, if it were important, they wouldn’t ask me”. And all the parties are equally guilty. Why else can’t the Tories say “yes” when asked if they would give us a referendum on Europe when returned to power, knowing that they have no hope of preventing the current “treaty” being ratified in the meantime by a labour majority.
I was reminded of a saying, which I find is from Edmund Burke, “All that is required for evil to prevail, is for good men to do nothing”. I find that he had some other useful sayings, “An event has happened, upon which it is difficult (for which read “against the law”) to speak, and impossible to be silent”, “He that wrestles with us strenghthens our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper.”, and perhaps most aptly today, “Never despair, but if you do, work on in despair”. Isn’t the english language wonderful?
I have recently decided that it is not good enough to do nothing, and have joined the BNP, the only political party, in quite a long life, that I have felt compelled to join. I know that there are millions of our fellow countrymen, who feel the same, but have not had the opportunity to see through the message from all the political and other interested parties, who feel threatened by the BNP advance. And rightly so, because it threatens them all. What it is about is fundamental to our existence as a nation, not concerned with mindless and irrelevant political infighting, which serves no-one.
And when I look at the BNP website or literature, and at the people who belong to it, I know one thing - they look like me, they sound like me - not the caricature, which Littlejohn and others would have us believe.
All that is needed is for others to look as well, and not be afraid at doing something which is very difficult, follow your convictions, even though you may be ridiculed or intimidated. But isn’t that one of the characteristics of our independent-minded people?. I have seen a remarkable improvement in the quality of comment on the website in the year or so during which I have followed BNP’s fortunes, my interest generated initially by outrage at the intimidation of two of its members, where the government designed a law seemingly tailored to put them both in jail, but which was soundly rejected by the common sense of a jury, not once, but twice. I was inspired by the bravery they showed, and the courage of their convictions, amid the concern, which their families must have felt.
Let us hope that the time has come, to put hope, pride and optimism back on the agenda, and consign Littlejohn to remember fondly what the past was like.
The Littlejohn Syndrome: someone who barks like a bulldog but who wouldn’t bite the hand that feeds him.
I have absolutely no doubt that there are many other journalists and commentators in the media besides Littlejohn and Gaunty who would love to come ” out ” if they could and declare that they are in favour of the common sense policies of the BNP.
Sadly and not surprisingly, self preservation and career comes before any alliegance they might have to putting their country first.
I suggest that the next time Gaunt cowers in his bunker while feral yobs run riot around him, he remembers that there are some like the brave men and women of the BNP who are prepared to raise their heads above the ramparts and fight back.
At last, Richard Littlejohn and his ilk are outed, they are seen as naked as the emperor. These household name columnists are scammers and very much a part of the problem; they are deceivers (not deniers) and litmus canaries for TPTB. They are employed to preserve the perceived integrity of their sponsor’s fellow elites and at the same time, deceive and confuse the reader. ‘Littlejohn for prime minister.’
These scammers are easy to spot, (once you know what to look for) mostly, it is what they don’t say as much as what they do say, that gives them away, you will never hear criticism of immigrants or the cry to stop immigration, they are also hardwired to show their left liberal credentials to their peers by prefixing ‘BNP’ with racist, thugs, knuckle draggers etc.
Political Correctness is a thought compliance censorship tool, specifically designed to beat the people over the head, no tolerance here, do as I say or I will call you very nasty names (or worse) to shut you up. It’s been a mind-boggling success; it does what it says on the tin. PC has served its purpose; things have moved on, the grip has tightened a whole lot more in other ways. (prison)
These anti PC scammers are an integral part of the media’s big illusion, without which, Cultural Marxism – (Political Correctness-thought control) could not maintain its iron grip.
Most people are still in a state of shock and confusion at what they see happening to their country, Cultural Marxism (CM) is the yellow brick road to post-modern utopia, at the end of the road is the man behind the curtain pulling the levers. No wonder Cultural Marxism has taken this countries people unawares.
Cultural Marxism has taken control of this nation by stealth and treachery, every resource and effort must be channelled into freeing the people of Britain from ignorance and informing them why things are as they are, time is of the essence. IMO, this is an area where the BNP has been sadly lacking, let us hope this superb essay is a sign of things to come – it is well overdue.
The quality of writing displayed in the above article, and by the responses, exposes the taunt of “knuckle draggers” for the cheap and contemptible lie that is, and always was.
Only the BNP can see a way forward for LibLabCon fiddle whilst Rome burns. They are like rabbits caught paralysed in the headlights of the onrushing juggernaught which will squish them. They have no answers to the impending disaster: the economic, social, ethnic and religious witches’ brew of their own concoction. They are not morally or intellectually equipped even to ask the questions, they are utterly bereft.
As for Hitchens, Littlejohn - these are little men, vastly overpaid hacks delighted to provide a safety valve in return for their metaphorical 30 pieces of silver. They are worthy of our contempt, nothing more. And in time they will be seen for the gnat-like irrelevance that they are.
An excellent article and certainly food for thought. Let’s have more. Last Friday the Daily Mail published an article in the centre pages supposedly outlining what Germans teach their children about the Holocaust. This was in cartoon form with coloured graphics and appeared isolated and, as far as I was concerned, totally out of context. Just lately there had been a few of these apparently impromptu ‘Nazi’ articles and ever suspicious of their intentions, this time I had quite a strong ‘suspicion’ that something was afoot. Then the next day the centre pages contained the article about the BNP’s Donna with all the usual ‘hatchet job’ phrases:’ reviled British National Party’ and ‘my family had been victims of the Holocaust’ etc., so I wrote to the editor asking why they always felt it necessary to draw parallels between the BNP and Nazi Germany, particularly as many of the BNP policies were really more like older conservative ones and were what most people agreed with anyway. Obviously, they never published my letter and I didn’t expect to get a response. However, I was determined to get my point over somewhere so I put a synopsis of the article on the Daily Express web site which sat there for an hour or so but which was then suddenly ‘censored.’ (completely removed). They’ll ‘allow’ us to let off a little steam and go so far with what they term as ‘acceptable’, but when it comes to calling the bluff on the real conspiracy, they’ll stick together like ***t to a shovel to preserve it.
Maybe if enough of us e-mailed Littlejohn, Hitchens etc and say how alike the BNP their policies are they might take note. I have done it myself but obviously got no response.
Having said that I will always acknowledge my thanks if their comments are in agreement with BNP policies. James Whale on Talk Sport is another who openly chastises the BNP but if you listen to him enough you would think he was a payed up member of the BNP. Maybe one day one of them will own up that The BNP is the only common sense party we have today in the UK.
I think in time as the great British public see through all the media PC hype then we will see more honesty from those gentlemen.
This article is fantastic, great observations and analysis and totally accurate in that it encapsulates the essence of the pc disease.
I have often thought of writing an article of a similar nature, now I don’t have to worry as all the ideas I’ve had, and more, are fluently expounded in this article.
Excellent work and with these sorts of brilliant and illuminating articles the idiot brigade who try to discredit us as brainless ‘racists’ will find that it is there own insane demented logic that condemns them as the brainless.
Great essay. Brilliant insight.

That’s a very interesting post, because Nazi Germany killed the Jews we, the British people, are apparently expected to acquiesce in our own destruction. This what it comes down to.
All we want to do is save our own people. We don’t want “lebensraum”, we don’t want to invade foreign countries and steal their resources, which is Nulab territory, We simply wish to preserve our own people and our own heritage. Why is this so wrong? If we were absolutely appalling and we had never done anything, never offered anything to the world, like all the inventions and Habeas Corpus and Parliamentary democracy for instance, one might understand it. But this is the very opposite of the case. If these immigrant aliens had something better to offer, again, one might understand it, as perhaps the Ancient Britons who came to an accomodation with Rome did.
I do not accept surrender in any circumstances and I am with Boadicea when according to Tacitus she said: “Win the battle or perish, that is what I, a woman will do, you men can live on in slavery if that is what you want”.
But the Islamics are not offering anything better than we already have like the Romans perhaps did, in material terms to the few at least. Bur what profit a man to gain the world, but to lose his soul? Our country is all we have, we have a covenant with those who came before to preserve, to protect, and to pass on. This is an absolute duty. If this means making a supreme sacrifice, then so be it. All over our land there are hundreds of thousands of names inscribed upon war memorials, all I feel now is that they were much deceived and betrayed.
All Islamics represent is essentially primitive religious obscurantism and cultural backwardness. And in fact the religion and the culture is so intertwined they can’t be unravelled anyway, and who cares enough to even try?
We want to save our people and our heritage and our history not for intrinsically selfish reasons, although every people have the right to their own land, but because we are worth saving. Our civilisation, our contribution has been immense. But now we are on the single-track railroad to a failed state hell-hole.
The liberal traitors either can’t or, more likely, refuse to grasp this. Well, so much the worse for them.
Littlejohn and ALL other media puppets are simply allowed to become safety valves for the establishment. The reality is that they, and their paymasters rarely live the ”multi-racial” or enriched lifestyles they say we, the BNP are against. Give it another five years, and we’ll really see some action. Within that time, every factor of life will see these parasites take a definative side - or shut the hell up and retire.
I tend to prefer Fly’s(12.19pm) “cultural marxism” to Joe’s “universal egalitarianism”. It comes to the same but cultural marxism is perhaps more evocative.
Marxism, as we are most keenly aware, is a pernicious creed. But some Marxists have been deeply rooted in our Island Story. They have possessed an instinctual sympathy with the long stuggle of our people, the empathy that now only the BNP and its increasing support base has.
One example of this was the work of HN Brailsford who wrote “The Levellers and the English Revolution”. He captured the exhilaration that New Model cavalry troopers must have felt when they no longer needed to make obedience to their gentry “betters” .
When I was at university studying history a set text was EP Thompson’s “The Making of the English Working Classes”. There is a very moving story in the book. The harshly oppressed and half starved workers were forced into open revolt - Luddism. A group of Luddites, perhaps 150 strong, attacked Rawlfolds mill in the Spen Valley. They were repulsed by volleys of musketry from the militia. One lad was captured, grievously wounded. Upon his death bed he was pressed to reveal the identity of his comrades by an Anglican parson/magistrate. He asked the parson if he could keep a secret. The parson said he could, whereupon the 19 year old lad said: “So can I”, and he died without revealing a thing.
This rich and moving history has been virtually airbrushed out of existence, it is a forgotten history. Defeated in their revolutionary aspirations by Thatcher the Marxists turned their back upon the working class people. The people had “failed” them and they deserved to be replaced by hordes of immigrants who would provide new base material for another go at revolution. It was year zero; all was to be swept away, the indigenous people were to be disconnected, disabled, hobbled, denied their past. De-cultured, severed from their history by a de-educational system, a blank slate to scrawl upon, a most hellish experimentaton - the roots of political correctness.
Of course it was not only British working class history that became persona non grata, so did our glorious military tradition. When Churchill was asked what children should know of history he responded: “tell the children Wolfe took Quebec”. Sheer anathema to the Reds and the Liberals of course and replaced with sackcloth and ashes slavery and liberal guilt. The very stuff to collapse the national morale of course, to destroy our sense of identity and self worth.
I will never, ever forget or forgive this treacherous betrayal of our indigenous people, and I guess contributors here feel very much the same as I do.
I do hope Littlejohn reads all these comments. I hope that all his kind read these comments. The BNP are the only saviours available to the (mainly sleeping) British public. We are drifting as a people, Littlejohns of the world do nothing to help. We need people of substance, not hot air. Here’s to a BNP Britain!!

I WONDER WHAT LITTLEJOHN AND HIS CO-HORTS WILL BE SAYING ON MAY 2ND AFTER WE GET FOUR PLUS GLA MEMBERS IN LONDON AND MANY MORE COUNCILIORS IN.OH AND THE MAYOR TOO.
Littlejohn and other Celebrities are part of a modern Colosseum, like vapid premier sport, TV and celebrities, in this safe arena rebellion is acceptable, to act as sop for real rebellion against the ruling classes.
I bet websites like this are only allowed because we have not yet become a major threat to the ruling classes.

It’s not just Littlejohn and his ilk who present BNP policies/beliefs as their own, here’s a quote from the Labour party website-
‘Labour believes in strong and protected borders – they are fundamental to Britain.
Within this framework, we are committed to continuing our proud history of welcoming legal migrants who can benefit Britain; and to a just asylum system which provides a safe haven for refugees.
We must continue to ensure that only those truly in need of refuge, or those who can contribute to the success of the nation, come to Britain.’
Total sickening hypocrisy of course, this is the first in a list of lab ‘policies’ on their website. It’s prominence shows how seriously they take the exposure of the big lie of multiculturalism, and they even try to draw on the basic decency of the British people and the society they are destroying: ‘our proud history’ etc.
Of course most of us have read Orwell and recognise this as the doublespeak that it is, but this sort of thing provides constant reassurance to the Labour voter with genuine concerns about what is happening to this country. Before the last election Blair was making a big thing about controlling borders, controlling immigration. They find out what people want to hear and make sure they hear it over and over again. And they have the huge power of the state and their media to constantly reinforce the message.
At the same time they constantly reinforce the message that the BNP is ‘vile’ etc,
This website shows the number of people who have woken up to the truth, the comments above and elsewhere are excellent, and often inspiring.
The reason that immigration is the first policy mentioned on the Labour party website, and that the media can only ignore or demonise the BNP is because they are sh** scared. The BNP has become what the Labour party used to be, a real party of the working classes (one didn’t have to say ‘white’ working classes then) that mobilises people, that truly represents them against oppression , cares about social justice and is involved in their communities - this is the kind of party the BNP has become, while Labour couldn’t scrape together enough members to fill up an average football stadium.
Anyone listen to the “Westminster Hour” on BBC R4 last night?
There was a section about how the Liebour party was proposing to “combat” patriots, who they mendaciously call the “far right”. They are at least reliable; they lie and then they lie again and again and again.
Anyway the audience was treated to the ramblings of Margaret Hodge about how she goes round her constituency “reassuring” our people that globalisation and migration is good for them. It was just the patronising approach you would expect from the Liebour great and good, talking down to people from her great eminence and wealth, she is the daughter of a millionaire and married to a High Court Judge. So plenty of empathy there then. Of course she is not fit to lick the boots of our working people, though hopefully she may one day have to.
A few questions occured to me whilst listening to her condescending spiel.
Migration
1) How come that even though the UK is in the EU the government didn’t impose transistional restrictions on EE migration, which can last for 7 years, and as other nations did? Nothing to do with wanting cheap labour I suppose. Does this mean that other European countries care more about their people than Hodge and her rich friends?
2) Why did Liebour abolish the primary purpose rule in 1997 which at least placed some check upon arranged marriages with first cousins from that high point of civilisation, rural Pakistan? How many extra recessive genetic inbreds are we stuck with now as a result of that squalid bit of vote grubbing?
2) Why did you let in so many “asylum seekers”, particularly from failed states, who had to cross many countries to get here, and so had no valid legal claim even under the ridiculous legislation we are saddled with? Why were those that reached here not confined in detention facilities, as the Aussie have done, until their cases were processed? Why did you let many hundreds of thousands just disappear?
4) Japan is an island nation. They have got an incomparably better economy than we have. And yet they haven’t found it necessary or desirable to open the doors to alien hordes. Why couldn’t we do likewise?
I guess a lot of people would like the answers to these questions.
My reaction to the article and comments is, at last people are beginning to wake up and speak out.
Littlejohn, Gaunt, Hitchens and the others mentioned in the article are false prophets, their intention is to lead their readers down a blind ally, the general public should be constantly reminded that journalists come a close second to MP’s as the most untrustworthy people in society.
Its a fallacy to believe they can perceive the problems facing the British people, but cannot come to the inescapable conclusion that the Westminster set are wholly responsible for those problems, and therefore it is not a change from one failed part of the Lib/Lab/Con cabal to another that is needed, only with a root and branch clear out at Westminster will the public have any meaningful chance of change, that being the case there is only one party willing and capable of making that change the BNP, and yet they would have you believe they cannot see the blinding obvious.
The truth is they are to a man and woman quislings masquerading as freedom fighters, I and many others have been warning of them on this site and many other sites for over eight years, I’ve lost count of the times I’ve written don’t reward their duplicities by buying their respective papers, treat them with the contempt they deserve.

I couldn’t agree more. I always state this fact, as so many people automatically believe what journalists say and write.
By never questioning the journalists most people are handing over complete control of their minds, as a pyschologist I know once said: “If you are not in control of your own mind, someone else sure will be”. This is so true.
Journalists are lying, manipulative, deceptive, back-stabbing, degenerate, vile scum. They have no honour, loyalty, decency, integrity, they are amongst the lowest forms of human life (alongside mainstream politicians).
All the traits commonly exhibited by journalists and politicians are exactly the traits one finds with sociopaths and other criminal mentalities… i.e. pathological lying, moral relativism, extreme self-agrandisment, narcissism, duplicity, extortion, bullying, materialism, the list goes on…
We have in power people who are no different from murderers and psychopaths, the only difference being those in power have created a system whereby the escape accountability. Also, a hall mark of a sociopath an above average IQ, and their propensity is to carry out their crimes intellectually as they seldom venture into physical actions.
The moment it will become “socially acceptable” to support the BNP, I would bet, quite a few TV-personalities will “come out of the closet” and admit supporting the BNP as well.
Jim Davidson anyone ?

Time is definitely on the BNP’s side.

How We Got Here
There are many reasons why the British public is disorientated and confused at the start of the 21st. century. In to-days political climate, one of the major reasons is the muddied waters of the relationship between the main Lib-Lab-Con parties, in short, why is there so little rivalry and perceived difference between them and if this is true, how has this situation come about?
By the 1990’s, it had become clear to the movers and shakers of the western world that upon the (earlier 1979) collapse of Soviet communism, capitalism had emerged the clear winner of the cold war, America was the undisputed champion and beyond challenge, someone even opined this moment was the end of history, IOW, the west’s way of life (liberalism) was the perfect model and that communism was a dead no brainer - but others had different ideas.
The hubris (over confidence) of America induced a carelessness that failed to notice the rise of the new left. America’s 1960’s counter culture new left had simply switched to plan ‘B,’ which was the culmination of their termite like nibbling away at western cultural values over the previous 40 years, by which time, Gramsci’s long march (Google) had infiltrated every institution throughout the western world – now was the time for them to make their move. In Britain, enter stage left, one Anthony Charles Clinton Blair and his new improved Labour party; Blair was a disciple of multicult enthusiast - slick Willie Clinton. (The world’s first postmodern political leader)
Blair and Britain’s current (sub) prime minister Brown, were (and are) great admirers of Margaret Thatcher, whose policy of selling off the nation’s family silver in the ‘80’s planted (through the wholesale transfer of public funds to the private) the seed of corporate fascism we see today. In short, we now have the most bizarre and unlikely arrangement where the political right is cosied up with their traditional adversary in a mutual beneficial society where (the cultural left) is supplying them (corporate right) with an endless source of imported compliant cheap labour. I wonder how long this house of cards (absurd alliance) will last? Who will be the weakest link?
So there you have it, the left and right are joined at the hip, it doesn’t rally matter who the millions of voters out there will vote for, the result will be the same, only the route taken will vary, (the destination will remain the same.) I can see this and most on this thread can see it, but there are millions out there who will, (through lack of awareness) enthusiastically vote for their traditional choice, when in fact, there is no (meaningful) choice. (Ironically, the same thing is happening in America as I write)
What has all of this got to do with the likes of Littlejohn you may ask? Well, it is the scam columnist whose job it is; in no small way, to helps perpetuate the illusion of democratic choice. Simply put, they are part of the problem by providing the smoke and mirrors of disorientation in order to perpetuate the scam, which is the raison detre of the columnist’s employer - the tabloid press.
Footnote. By necessity for brevity, this is very much a shorthand note. If you really want to find out more then get Googling – it’s all out there, keep persevering.

“I wonder how long this house of cards (absurd alliance) will last? Who will be the weakest link?”
I referred to this on here a couple of evenings ago. The weakest link is the house of cards economy, the credit crunch has its icy fingers round their throats
“We are in such an enfeebled economic state that a slump is inevitable here. In these circumstnces the future will certainly include strong siege economy elements. At present there isn’t any need to make a song and dance about it, but the effect on the Labour and Conservative parties will be devastating…..”
When I said that there isn’t any need to make a song and dance it is undoubtedly true that the very tough times ahead will give an opportunity to save the nation. Even the truly obtuse will then be able to see that LibLabCon are all one. But a recession/slump will be appalling for our people and we don’t need the opposition accusing us of wanting calamity for our own ends, which is what they will certainly do. Already Simon Darby has described on his blog how some Guardian journalist rang him for a Guardian piece they entitled: “Who wants a recession?”.
So this is a trap which must be carefully avoided.
Everything comes to he who waits though, as the old saying goes.
But the coming recession could be planned, Communists hate Private Property, even now they are lowering Interest rates to ensnare more borrowers, after which they will raise them again. causing Mass defaults and reposessions hey presto…Now the Govt owned your house, but its OK, the Govt will allow you stay, but now you must worl for the state to earn the roof over you and your childrens heads.

Some months ago I Emailed Littlejohn inviting hime to write about his objections to the BNP instead of just name calling. Needless to say, he did not reply.
Littlejohn is an establishment man to the core, a spineneless stooge.
Peter Hitching did have the decency to rely to one of my letters, but don’t mention the BNP.
The BBC’s question time is another contrived irrelevance, with it’s panel of the same sort of dreary people and carefully vetted questions. Should things get too heated, it is always time for a break. When the show resumes another topic is being discussed.
“The BBC’s question time is another contrived irrelevance, with it’s panel of the same sort of dreary people and carefully vetted questions.”
I can’t bear to listen to Any Questions any longer. Same old, same old vapid guests trotting out the same old anodyne, liberal platitudes. Absolutely pathetic, intellectual cotton wool for the terminally soft of thinking.
Great article you posted Fly, “Burning down the house” - it puts our predicament in a nutshell. Of course if the US is in a dire state, which it is, where does that leave us with precisely the same failed economic model and a rapidly growing population crammed into a small island, with the population increase down to such magnificent human capital as Somalis?
There shouldn’t be any further need to spell it out. We are on the verge of the death of liberalism, we are close to the cusp. These are momentous times close at hand, perhaps historians decades hence will compare them to the Reformation, the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution in terms of the scale of the transformation that will be wrought. If nationalism should fail at this epoch-making moment then the ultimate result will be a New Dark Age, a failed state Mogadishu/Islamabad hell.
But if we should succeed and save the nation then the dark shadow will have lifted from the rolling green hills of our beautiful land. The spring sunshine, the ale in our glasses, the sheer poetry of our national literature will be all the sweeter in the knowledge that the blight has gone. And when it is our turn to cross over to the “undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns” we will do so in the comfort of duty done, the covenant with our ancestors and those who follow us kept, whatever the cost may have been.
neversurrender … a very pleasant post, and heartfelt comments too my friend. Vanbar … yep, I’ve noticed the same with Peter Hitchens too; a great pity as the man is very talented and sincere.
But, let us all try to understand the tasks ahead of us; for they are huge. Apart from punishing (e.g., confiscation of ill-gotten gains, or the use of public humiliations) those most responsible for our nation’s plight (e.g., journalists, University professors, teachers, TV media ’stars’, and some authors, et al) we have to find the means to repair the shattered lives of our young men. Our boys have been the innocent target of a very vicious campaign, not only to demean them because of their gender, but to also demean them because of their race. Far too many of our male youth are being allowed (or should I say encouraged?) to grow up mentally & emotionally damaged. Compared to so many young men born elsewhere… they lack in self confidence and swagger. We need to put this right, and quickly.
When I was of that age … you know … that age when we make that mysterious transit from boyhood to manhood, I was employed by a major multinational as an Apprentice. I cannot begin to tell you all the good that that Apprenticeship did for my future. Furthermore, there are men (many of whom are now very old or dead) who made personal sacrifices to pass on something worthwhile to 17 or 19 year olds, who were not even related, yet some would treat them like sons.
We will never rehabilitate our boys until the evil cult of Feminism is destroyed, and its vestiges are driven out of our schools, colleges, and Universities. That does not mean I believe women are 2nd class citizens, or some other such claptrap. On the contrary. I think you all know what I mean. We’ve all had a belly full of twenty or thirty-something women running riot in our culture and society, full of selfishness, avarice, and arrogance; with chips on their shoulders and being allowed to get away with it. All I am asking for is that young women are treated as ordinary human beings, instead of as if they were an alternative species, which we feel obliged to keep placing on pedestals, to revere and worship. The way to treat women is with gentleness, understanding, and also with firmness, and definitely not any worship. If we had done this three decades ago, we would not have today the BBC overflowing with ideologically depraved women; for that is what that media monster has become: an “ideologically feminized” entity.

We truly are living in momentous times, it seems that in this 21st century we are destined to witness the convergence of a kaleidoscope of events which any one of a number, could signal the end of western civilisation. Hunkered behind my keyboard and with the world’s secrets open to scrutiny only a click away, my mind becomes awash.
Hopefully, I think I can see the bigger picture, but to place it in perspective I have to reduce it to bite size pieces, some I offer here for promotion of thought and maybe comment, I read somewhere recently, we all choose to do battle on the ground of our choosing, writing is my chosen ground, I only wish I could be more brave but hey! the pen is mightier than the sword.
So, where do we go from here?
Observing the current American election scene, to me, it is already crystal clear that the present political status in the western world is exhausted, the outcome of the election (in terms of strategy) was decided even before the election proceedings got under way. There is no choice of substance on offer, like a packet of soap powder, candidates are reduced to a personality brand, selection is a choice of old brand (MacCain-Clinton) or the new improved version, (Obama) translate this to the British scene you have exactly the same situation, same old - same old. In other words, the system is broke, no longer fit for purpose. Behind the curtain, consensus decisions are decided by the unelected and unaccountable – the media does the rest, western democracy is dead and no longer required.
Things are so broke the electorate are voting for something called change, when asked to articulate what change means, none of the candidates (or voters) has any idea, but the euphoric cry still goes up, we can do it! One can only assume they mean they don’t want the same old, same old. Is the world going mad? It goes without saying, whoever the voters choose, the outcome will be same old, for the men behind the curtain have already decided – the media will do the rest.
IMO, western politics have been hijacked by the most rich and powerful, so much so, their tentacles extend to every corner of the globe, UN, IMF, WTO, FED, EU, police, military, (you name it) and by extension, has infiltrated every institution, organisation and political party in western governance. It is a truly awesome feat of mans ingenuity of organisation and from what I read; it is ready to roll anytime soon.
If you accept the premise that democratic politics has gone as far as it can go, (failed) then the next question is, what follows? We can’t go back and there are no new ideas to take democratic politics forward, looking at the present scene, the current trend is toward a post democratic future, absorb the nation state into bite sized world chunks (EU - NAFTA) – open borders, unfettered free trade, a compliant hostage population governed by group victim identity (under the heel of cultural Marxism) all says, welcome to the new world order.
But will it come to pass? Who knows? As it is said, there’s many a slip betwixt cup and lip – but as I have already pointed out, there are other crisis jostling in the wings. Civil unrest, Economic collapse, Islam, Peak Oil, Burgeoning world population, climate change, Eco degradation, Food production crisis, Nucular? resource wars, Civilisation collapse, Future of White race.
WOW! Ive just flicked through a whole library full of common sense comments about this artical. Fantastic response to a well written piece. I hope i can do it justice. If that was allowed to be broadcast on t.v. the support for the BNP would go through the roof. Yes i to think that these people(Littlejohn and co)are being used as nothing more than a safety valve. Wether or not they actually believe in what they write is open to debate. I wrote in a comment section here yesterday saying that this government, BBC and its other followers are actually starting to fight a rearguard action. I feel that there is actually a small element of fear in them, that their actions, that have all been detrimental to the indiginous population, may bring serious consequeces to those who took part in implimenting them. They are begining to look like a bunch of scared drug dealers trapped inside a house full of drugs trying franticaly to flush tons of the stuff down the toilet while the old bill are kicking the front and back doors in. BNP now is the time. Truth and justice is on our side.

I believe that you right here, military coup, and that they do have cause for concern as their economic house of cards collapses around them. It was always obvious to those not deluded by greed and stupidity that the only result of deindustrialising and running the economy like a gambling casino for the benefit of parasites would be calamity. That is where we are now, we are on the very cusp of it. Martin Weale, for instance, of the National Insitute for Economic and Social Research says Britain faces “political economic catacylsm”.
Who loves you Nulab and all the rest of the toxic politically correct crew? Not the military, that’s for sure. The public mood is sour and is starting to turn into a brooding anger. This is but a step to visceral hatred as it becomes more and more apparent the damage they have done to us.
The politically correct zealotry they brought us is going to rebound on them in a very big way.
Neversurrender - my sentiments exactly. Maybe this adds significance to the establishment’s tactic of keeping our forces far off in foreign lands.
I have thought for a long while that Littlejohn-nomen est omen!-is a fraud and an opportunist. He knows that what he writes will be read and, more to the point, he knows exactly that those who read it and approve are the very same people whom he, in a literary aside, denigrates.
He also apparently came to adulthood under the same iniquitous system as those he criticises and he himself has, in his innermost core, embraced their values.They preach egalitarianism and equality-the worst form of tyranny-and bow down before the most disgraceful form of inequality ever, the golden calf of Mammon.
Even in their spurious attacks upon inequalities of distribution, especially at City Bonus pay-out time, I detect a note of envy. After all, they support the very same system which generates these astronomical sums and yet they are not accorded their due recognition.
They know that they are also an integral part of this charade. Much as mediaeval monarchs had their court fools and jesters who could, with impunity, make mock of their majesties. This, too, brought a smile to the faces of the courtiers but, let any deluded spectator think that this pantomime could be extended to real life and their lives were forfeit. So it is today!
The participants,with unerring antennae,know exactly where the boundary is; yes,by all means denounce the excesses of our “masters”, their inexhaustible appetite for prerequisites, their apparent failings and all-too human weaknesses but, under no circumstances, question the system which permits, nay, encourages, promotes and connives at this behaviour. This is where the kissing has to stop.
So for those who want a summary:
The Littlejohn Symdrome is a hypocritical condition, where the sufferer (e.g. Littlejohn) voices an anti-PC opinion that is nearly identical or similar to another entity (e.g. The BNP), but the sufferer makes a huge effort to socially distance themselves from said entity, mostly due to said entity attacking PC at the source, rather than the symptoms of PC (which is the only part of PC that the sufferer attacks).
Much of what I wanted to say has already been adequately aired here.
However, the `King of Contradiction` must surely go to the self adulation poured over by John Gaunt to his radio personae `Gaunty`.
Whilst claiming to be the `conscience of the nation`, he derides similar opinions espoused if it has `BNP` attached to it.
Gaunt has brought hypocrisy to a new high by his rambling attacks on `political correctness`, but swifty condemns other callers who suggest that these views are shared by the BNP.
But then, `good old Gaunty` loves to brag about how much money he has, and the fact that he lives in a large expensive house.
Obviously a man who has deep rooted anxieties and dare I say, `social inadequacies`.
You can bet your last dollar that should the BNP win the next General Election `Gaunty` will re-attach his colours to the BNP standard - like so many others of his ilk.
I only hope that one day `Gaunty` and all the other `cardboard nationalists` will be banned from working in the media for the rest of their miserable self-enriching lives.
What a concise example of this condition on Newsnight last night. Jon (no so) Gaunt, the cretinous pillock.
During the days of Empire it was the practice of the British Imperial ruling class to exercise their authority through the recruitment of tribal leaders. This worked pretty well for some time but eventually the natives got restless and the great Imperial Scuttle began, before the mem-sahibs got chopped up. Old habits die hard however, through absent minded folly, neglect and cowardice in the face of liberal sentimentalism the Empire was imported into Britain.
In time it became expedient to recruit tribal leaders here to mediate between the imported “communities” and the detached rulers in Government. So we got the Bernie Grant’s, the Lee Jasper’s, the Inyat Bungle’s, the Iqbal Sacranie’s and the rest of the communalist crew.
Of late however the liberal “elite” has been very reluctantly forced to recognise that the indigenous people are become “restless”. So we get the standard divide and rule tactic of dividing us up on an arbitrary class basis and annointing our very own “community leader” on our behalf. How very kind and thoughtful they are!.
Step up to the plate, GAUNTY!
I am sure many will feel as I do that the elevation of “Gaunty” is absolutely patronising and demeaning to our indigenous people. The man is a fat, slovenly, know-nothing, wide-boy, sell-out yobbo. He merely comforms, in his oafish way, to liberal elite perceptions of what we are and what “our” community leaders should be like. This angers me intensely, perhaps far more than I can well express.
After several failed attempts, I signed into “Digg” a few weeks ago and have “dugg” this excellent piece in order for it to reach a wider audience. I have done the same with some dozen or so of the articles and analyses on this website. As a BNP member who currently lives abroad, my opportunities for service are essentially limited to this “digging”, emailing articles to people in UK (and here in the States), donating when possible for my wife and me, and adding a comment here and there on the website. I notice this excellent article has 66 comments, but has only been “dugg” 17 times…..
Messrs. Littlejohn and Hitchens are talented writers and I always look forward to reading their columns. However, the pleasure is often marred by snide references to the BNP as a ‘vile, racist’ organisation – although most of what they write would not look out of place on our website.
Hitchens is an accomplished journalist and a perceptive and entertaining author. His articles and views on what’s happening in Britain are usually spot-on, apart from his oft-repeated advice as to what we should do to get out of the current political mess. He advises readers that they should not vote for the ‘Useless Tories’ come the election but offers no other solution – apart from an admonition not to vote BNP either. Presumably he means that those readers who would otherwise vote Tory should abstain, in the belief that after it has been obliterated at the polls, a vibrant new Conservative party will somehow emerge from the ruins with the sort of true-blue centre-right policies we have all been crying out for.
The answer is there already. We don’t need to engineer the downfall of the ‘Useless Tories’ and hang around when it’s far too late, hoping they’ll somehow pull themselves together. This ain’t gonna happen, now or ever. The BNP has successfully taken over the centre-right political arena abandoned by the Tories. Any objective analysis of its policies and mission statements will show that the Party is neither racist nor fascist and a regular review of the generally articulate, moderate and thoughtful postings on its news coverage reinforces the fact that its mainstream supporters are not extremists but intelligent patriots who want their country back. I believe that independent polls have shown that over 50% of the electorate support BNP policies. How can this be ignored? The only way forward is to vote BNP.
If he reads this, would Mr Hitchens care to respond? I am open to argument and if he has a better and more practical solution I’d like to hear it, but time is running out and we must do more than just moan and hope for the best if we really mean to stop the rot.

I totally agree with Idealist. I used to get my comments posted onto the Daily Mail site, until one day I happened to mention in a comment that the BNP had been right on a lot of issues, and since then none of my comments have been posted! I think I got banned! Jon Gaunt of The Sun is an even worse offender than Littlejohn with his “**** off or fit in” approach to immigrants, and in the next sentence slagging off the BNP! They must think the public are daft not to see through them.
I dont go for any of it ! all of these [people ? ],are jouralists…nuj members. Theyre just playing the game,to appease the Great British public ! They are no different to ANY liblab conman ! Say one thing,mean the opposite…Trators to their people and Country ! VOTE BNP
