Countering the Smears:
In the run up to elections, anti-British elements in the mass media, Trade Union movement and the Labour Party work together in top gear to spread misinformation, half-truths and downright fabricated lies about the British National Party, its policies and its candidates.
When the smear leaflets land on the doormats of your friends and neighbourhoods and when the left-wing press print lies and smears please direct your contacts and colleagues to this web page or print it off in advance.
This page tells the truth about the BNP.
We believe in human diversity and in preserving the individuality and identity of all different ethnic groups. It is sad when a unique human genotype becomes extinct - as has happened around the world in the past and is happening today in the Amazon and in New Guinea. While a small number of mixed marriages – or mixed race children - in Britain won’t, in themselves, make any difference, if this is encouraged however as it is at present by politicians and the media then inevitably the traditional British genotype will be endangered in the long-term.Environmentalists are always keen to preserve unique animal species in the wild, so why shouldn’t the same principle apply to people? We believe that Britain’s proud history of glorious achievements demonstrates that the British genotype is a valuable one and deserves to be preserved.It has also been shown that mixed race children often suffer from identity problems, as has been pointed out by people such as Trevor Phillips (chairman of the Commission for Equality and Human Rights)
.ii. What is your attitude to homosexuals?
The British National Party is not ‘homophobic’ and believes that what consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedrooms is a matter for them alone and is of no concern to anyone else. On the other hand the BNP is not blinded or cowed by political correctness and recognises that homosexuality, which affects less than 2% of the population, is not the norm and that homosexual relationships do not produce offspring – essential to the survival of a people and a nation.We therefore believe in a policy of tolerance to all forms of adult sexuality, but homosexuality should not be promoted or encouraged. The BNP supports the traditional ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ attitude to homosexuality and is opposed to the flaunting or celebrating of homosexuality which ‘civil partnerships’ represent. We believe that the government should adopt a more neutral position towards homosexuality rather than aiding and encouraging it by passing legislation specifically and solely designed to favour it.
iii. Do you believe that blacks or other races are inferior?
No, we have never claimed any such thing. We simply believe that the different races are different, just as men and women are different, and as such they cannot be directly compared.
iv. If you believe that the races are different then you are racists.
Not at all. The definition of a racist is someone who hates people of other races. We do not hate anybody. Anyone who says the BNP is racist is either misinformed or a liar.
v. Why don’t you let blacks and Asians into the BNP?
For the same reason the Girl Guides don’t allow boys to join. Does that mean they are sexist? Does it mean they hate boys? Of course not, it’s just that their aim is to cater for the interests of girls, and similarly the BNP isn’t racist, but our purpose is to cater for the interests of the indigenous British population. The indigenous population of Britain is now the only group which is facing systematic, legalised and institutionalised discrimination, harassment and oppression. That’s precisely why the British people need the BNP - because we are the one and only organisation that has their interests at heart. There are hundreds of organisations exclusively for blacks or Asians, but only one organisation for the indigenous population - the BNP.
vi. What would you do with blacks and Asians already here?
Our policy is to:
i. Deport ALL the 2 million plus who are here illegally;
ii. Deport all those who commit crimes and whose original nationality was not British;
iii. Review all recent grants of residence/citizenship to ensure they are still appropriate [eg. if they were granted citizenship because they had married a Briton, they would need to be still married];
iv. Offer generous grants (£50,000) to anyone born here, or who otherwise has British citizenship, who chooses to leave permanently and is able to obtain a foreign citizenship (and thus renounce their British one).
[Note that we don’t mention race here at all; these policies are ‘colour blind’.]
vii. Your leader is on record denying the Holocaust ever happened and claiming that Jews control the media – you are clearly an anti-Semitic party.
Not at all. Dredging up quotes from 10, 15, 20 years ago is really pathetic and, in a sense, rather fascist. Everyone knows that people’s political philosophies evolve and change as they develop – at least three Labour ministers were previously Communist Party members, for instance - and Nick Griffin has repeatedly stated that he has changed his views since then. The BNP is in no way anti-Semitic nor do we deny the Holocaust. We have many Jewish members and are pleased to have a Jewish councillor in Epping, who is, indeed, the group leader there.
viii. Do you accept or deny that blacks/Asians born in Britain are totally British?
People are partly the product of their environment, but mainly of their genes. Spike Milligan and Joanna Lumley were born in India – do you think they are Indians? It was the Duke of Wellington who said that just because someone is born in a stable that doesn’t make him a horse.
To be truly British one has to have a British genotype, as well as to have fully adopted British culture. Blacks and Asians born here are legally British and should be treated as such, but they are not genetically British. Indeed, most blacks and Asians do not see themselves as wholly British, and often refer to themselves as British Asians, or British Pakistanis, etc.
ix. There is no such thing as a British people. The history of Britain is one of continued mass immigration, and we are therefore a mongrel people. What is happening now is just a continuation of that history.
Not at all - the scientific definition of an ‘indigenous’ species is a species originally present in an area. Therefore the indigenous British genotype is that created at the time when Britain was created as a nation, around 1,000 years ago. Britain then was made up of the descendants of the original Celts, together with Nordic (or Viking) people [from Norway, Sweden and Denmark], Germanic people [Angles and Saxons], Normans [who were largely former Vikings] and the Romans.
The point therefore is that the indigenous British are a fusion of genetically similar Northern and Western European peoples all coming from within a few hundred miles of each other. While more recent migrants from these areas can be easily assimilated therefore given their compatible genotype, the present immigration from the Third World is a very different matter. Species which move into a new area and become established there are called colonisers. Britain is therefore being colonised by foreign populations which are changing the nature of Britain.
[To understand this it is useful to consider a non-emotional parallel: the red and grey squirrel. The red squirrel is the indigenous one, the grey one the coloniser. The grey squirrel will never be termed indigenous, no matter how long it has been here. The term indigenous has a precise scientific meaning. A species either is, or is not, indigenous; it cannot become indigenous.]
x. Why do you object to immigration and the change in Britain’s population? You are just being racist, aren’t you?
Not at all. People are the product of their genes, and a country is the product of its people. That’s why every country is different – that’s the beauty of the world and why travel is so interesting. That’s why Bath is different to Baghdad, Canterbury different to Calcutta and Manchester different to Mogadishu. If Britain’s population changes then the very nature of our towns and cities will change. You may be happy about that but we like Britain the way it has traditionally been. That makes us traditionalists, or small-c conservatives, or better still nationalists, but certainly not racists.
xi. Do you want an all-white Britain?
We have no objection to a limited number of people of different races or cultures, but they shouldn’t be so many that they actually change the area they live in. Ethnic minorities should be just that – minorities, making up no more than 2-3% of the population of any given area. In some areas their numbers have become too high, and there are parts of our towns and cities which have become visibly foreign. We want a traditional Britain.
xii. The BNP is a fascist and undemocratic party.
This is utter nonsense – the BNP is, in fact, the most democratic party in Britain. Only the BNP believes in citizen-initiated referenda which will genuinely give power back to the people. The other parties are determined to ignore the wishes of the British people – only the BNP trusts the British people and wants to give them back control over their country.
[Citizen-initiated referenda work very well in Switzerland and some US states.]
xiii. Senior BNP leaders have been convicted of race hatred and other criminal offences – how can you deny being a violent and racist party?
You are talking about the actions of a small minority of members in the past, not the present. No senior member of the BNP has any serious criminal convictions. It is a fact however that BNP members are sometimes politically victimised and wrongfully convicted when merely defending themselves from attack. As for convictions for political crimes, these simply prove we do not have freedom of speech in Britain any more. We do not – absolutely not – encourage hatred against ethnic minorities, but we must be allowed to speak about the problems which Britain faces today. Nowadays the BNP is the only party that stands up for genuine free speech.
The real criminals are to be found in the Labour, Conservative and LibDem parties which are notorious for sleaze, fraud and corruption, and whose members have a string of convictions for serious criminal offences.
xiv. Migrants are good for Britain’s economy and for services like the NHS.
This is completely untrue, as has been demonstrated by independent analysts [eg. MigrationWatch]. The government claims that migrants raise our GDP, but crime increases GDP too – do you believe that crime is a good thing? It’s not GDP we should be measuring but quality of life, and Britain’s population is now double what environmental groups [eg. the Optimum Population Trust] believe is the appropriate figure for a country this size.
As for the health service, ‘health tourists’ are estimated to cost the NHS £2 billion a year, and diseases such as TB and AIDS are on the increase as a direct result of immigration. British doctors and nurses are unable to find work in the NHS because we are importing medical staff – some with questionable qualifications - from the Third World where they are desperately needed. The BNP would improve the NHS and reduce waiting lists.
xv. Explain what you mean by British culture.
Any nation’s culture is a combination of all the historical factors that go towards making the majority of people in that country, and the country itself, identifiably different. Our culture is therefore a combination of our history, our temperament, our sporting, artistic, literary and musical heritage, our environment, our interests and aspirations, our language, our religion and our form of government.
A culture takes centuries to create, but can be destroyed in just a few years. Only the BNP values and wants to preserve our traditional culture – the other parties are determined to undermine it and destroy it in their ideological determination to impose a multicultural society where the British are treated as second class citizens in their own country.
xvi. Do you support the England football team?
Of course we do! And the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish teams too, as well as our national rugby, cricket and other sporting teams. We even sell England car flags on our website for our members to show their support for the football team during international tournaments.
xvii. What is your position on an English parliament?
The British National Party, as its name suggests, believes that Britain is stronger for being united, and that the home nations – and the people of these nations - have a common history and heritage, as well as continuing common interests. We note with concern however that the establishment of the Scottish parliament and the Assemblies in Wales and Northern Ireland has created an inequitable situation in England, with issues which are only relevant to England being voted on by MPs representing constituencies in the other home nations. There is a growing resentment at this unfairness in England and we believe that an English parliament would help to resolve this problem. An English parliament would therefore strengthen the Union. The BNP policy is: ‘an English parliament for a stronger Britain’.
xiii. The BNP is an extremist party.
This is totally untrue. An opinion poll carried out for Sky News in April 2006 found that over 50% of the British people support the BNP’s policies. We simply say what the majority of people in this country think, so how can we possibly be called extremist? On the contrary, this poll proves that we represent the genuine centreground of British politics. The BNP is the voice of the British people.
xix. The “Daily Mirror says serial killer John Laidlaw was a BNP member.
John Laidlaw was jailed in February for life for a shooting spree in north London. He was clearly a nutter and he is not and NEVER has been a member of the BNP. This is just another example of how the established media and left-wing extremists blatantly lie to their readers and viewers. This proves you can’t believe ANYTHING they say about the BNP.
xx. The “Africans for Essex” story was a lie.
In 2005 BNP campaigner in Barking and Dagenham, uncovered a scheme where council residents in inner London boroughs were being paid substantial amounts of money to move elsewhere. The BNP coined the term “Africans for Essex” because the majority of beneficiaries were Africans and rather than upsticks and move to Hampshire or Cumbria outer London is seen as a more attractive location, with its ease of access to the city and the ability to retain ties with family and friends.
These relocation schemes are real, the story was not a lie and here is further information from the “Assisted Purchase” scheme from Westminster City Council:
http://www.cwh.org.uk/main.asp?page=1581
Assisted Purchase gives an outright grant of £50,000 for WCC secure tenants living in homes with 3 or more bedrooms, and £25,000 for those in homes with 2 bedrooms. The council has an annual budget of £750,000 to give away, and the way the money is allocated is that “Grants are offered to the people with the highest number of bedrooms first, until all the money has been spent”.

The very sad and terrible truth about this country is that if you actually put that “Nick Griffin ate my gerbil” leaflet through people’s letter boxes, it would cause a massive influx of complaints from animal lovers.
But this is our challenge I suppose.
It seems many people still need to have the obvious spelt out to them. I think this article would make a terrific leaflet and should be distributed to as many homes in the country as resources permit.
Whenever I mention the fact that I support the BNP I usually get the stereotyped reaction ‘bunch of racist thugs’ etc. All I can do by way of response is to suggest that a check of the website will show there is no evidence that this is the case.
Although we still have a way to go, there seems to be evidence that increasing numbers of ordinary folk are indeed visiting our website to find out about the BNP for themselves and what’s more, find themselves in tune with its policies. FAQ’s like the above go a long way to enlightening visitors of the Party’s stance on important issues.
If visitors care to probe a bit further and look at the comments on news items posted by by members and supporters they will not find any neo-fascist nonsense but generally well-balanced, thoughtful and articulate contributions to the various debates.
I am not a closet nazi, but a British patriot deeply concerned about the corruption and social degeneration of our country under inept and hypocritical Lib/Lab/Con rule. The BNP is the only Party in Britain prepared to stand up for the Silent (but increasingly vocal) Majority.
Can I agree with AndrewB that this would make a terrific leaflet. Its clarity and relative brevity would also have the indirect effect of pointing to the fact that Lab/Lib/Con do not, or will not, provide clear summaries of their policies - indeed it’s hard to see how they can, as they are trying to appeal to different and incompatible groups of voters.
Keep the masses in the dark, enforce an undemocratic no platform policy, keep smearing and telling lies for long enough and there are always those who will believe it, if it’s in the media it must be true musn’t it ? or so it used to be.
BNP meetings up and down this country are gathering pace with ordinary hard working men and women including dissalusioned ex Tory and UKIP members willing to stand up and be counted in the fight for real democracy and the freedoms we all once took for granted.
Excellent to see you have put this up. This will open people’s eyes.
Because of what they have done to Once Geat Britain and their absolute betrayal of those who fought (my Dad/wife’s Dad) and died for it, I do not like the Liberal Dhimmi so called Democrats, Islamic Nazi NuLabour and the useless and pointless Old MeccEtonian led Tories - which is why I never waste my life and time going on their websites. I would rather eat ****!
I love to avoid the ‘hate’ word and use it sparingly and then, only on the most special of occasions - like the anniversary of lying Blair and Labour coming to power. This is not one of them - even for one who hates the BNP. Anyone who thinks the muslim threat ‘unrealistic’ deserves our pity and condolences, not our condemnation and ridicule.
I have been increasingly struck by the inability of the liberal left to put together any coherent arguments, as shown by the above comments from Sinbad. All they are left with is the meaningless taunt of “racism”.
The political system we endure has no legitimacy, we live under the tyranny of a wholly unrepresentative liberal oligarchy. If we, the indigenous people, have no power then how, in consideration of the left’s own equation, can we be “racist”? It is utter nonsense. It ill behoves liberal dictators who have imposed mass alien immigration and multi-culturalism upon us to accuse others of being wannabe dictators, especially the BNP which proposes a system of citizen initiated referenda. That is direct democracy which indeed recalls the Athenian democracy of Ancient Greece, the liberal left would run a mile from it.
To accuse the BNP of being fascist then is utterly grotesque, not only does the party propose direct democracy but there is absolutely no thought of fighting aggressive foreign wars and invading other countries and stealing their resources. This is New Labour territory, they have got a monopoly upon it. All nationalists want is for our people to peacefully enjoy our lands which our ancestors have, throughout our history, often fought and died for. Mass alien immigration which is politically, environmentally, economically, religiously and ethnically unsustainable is without doubt the greatest betrayal in our long history. It can only result in a Hobbesian failed state anarchy. And for those who know their history, which isn’t the liberal left, the warning signs are very clear to see.
If Johnnie السندباد البحري (I don’t know why it comes out like that with copy and paste - allah only knows what it means) wants to talk about dictatorship! I could well be slightly wrong with the exact details but only a third of Germany voted for Hitler in the last free elections. Most of Germany did not want Nazism and most people here in Britain did and do not want Blairism (or Brownism) or Labour either. It was our corrupt voting system that forced the dictator like swines upon us.
We do not have a democracy here in Britain and anyone with half a brain knows that. Blair was and Brown is, of the same mould as Uncle Joe Stalin and Der Fuhrer. PR is the only voting system that will restore democracy - I have not had a genuine vote in years.
Hope my previous two posts were not misinterpreted in any way. Just in case - take a laugh at this: http://www.laughingatislam.com/infidels.html
I like gerbils as well - preferably well done.
Why is the BNP so narrow minded?
We are not. - Ed
Why can’t they accept people of other races and sexual orientations.
We can, within limits - Ed
Who actually said that being homosexual is not a norm?
Mother Nature? - Ed
And after all we are all from the same world so what does it matter what race lives where.
Good point, why don’t you go and live in Afghanistan? - Ed
We’re all human.
No, we are all suposed to act like humans, some do not. -Ed
Personally i think that it would be horific if the BNP came into power.
You are entitled to opinion, as are we. - Ed
“And after all we are all from the same world so what does it matter what race lives where.” Given that human history and conflict are synonymous I think you will find it matters quite a lot actually. People like you, BNPhater, are so brainwashed you cannot see the grim reality that has emerged in our cities and towns. This is the reality of alien colonisation by foreigners who are inherently very far removed from the liberal “progressive” dream world.
“‘Bounty hunters are not an urban myth,’ said Philip Balmforth, Britain’s leading expert on forced marriages who has spent 15 years with West Yorkshire Police’s race relations department. ‘Wherever you get an Asian community, someone sets up a business to bring runaway women back home.”

“He and his family have been regularly jostled, abused, attacked, shouted at to move out of the area, and given death threats in the street. His wife has been held hostage inside their home for two hours by a mob. His car, walls and windows have been daubed in graffiti: “Christian b*****d”.”

“Another speaker says Muslims cannot accept the rule of non-Muslims. ‘You cannot accept the rule of the kaffir [non-Muslim],’ a preacher, Dr Ijaz Mian, tells a meeting held within the mosque. ‘We have to rule ourselves and we have to rule the others.”

Liberal lefties are not merely stupid and gullible, they are utterly hypocritical as well; as the following quote from a partially de-programmed member of that contemptible hand-wringing species illustrates:
“Meanwhile, the liberal arts community, for all its eloquence in anti-racism, is far more inclined to retreat to private schools and affluent enclaves, the better to maintain a homogeneous culture while pronouncing on the benefits of diversity.”
Andrew Anthony - “The Fallout: How a Guilty Liberal Lost His Innocence”
I was looking forward to giving “Sinbad Johnny” or whoever he was, a pasting regarding the definition of “facism” (I THINK he meant “fascism”)..but, indeed, his post was removed. He did come across as an annoying little troll who was, most definitely of the “Lefty” persuasion. And what I would describe as a “Liberal Fascist”.
I see fascism as a system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, with stringent socioeconomic controls, and suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship.
Well, we’re almost there with this government and the EUSSR!
Vote BNP at each and every opportunity. Remember, the ONLY wasted votes are votes for any of the three main parties!
As far as I can see the Muslims are here and they do not want to live under British Law. They do not respect our culture or society and their only aim is to turn the U.K. into a Muslim state. I travel the country in my work and I see how places like Peterborough have changed in just a few years. The greedy pigs with their noses in the trough at Westminster are selling this country down the river. When I saw that white female Labour Minister talking in a mosque in this country on T.V. recently, wearing a rag on her head, I felt sick. Get the BNP into power before it’s too late!
“Michael Fish 12″ asks why the BNP would want the Gurkhas to sign up, given that they are not an indigenous people to the UK. Well, the Gurkhas have shown an unswerving loyalty to the UK for generations. Gurkha veterans wrote a blank check, payable to the United Kingdom for an amount up to and including their lives. The currency of freedom is the blood, sweat and tears of a nation’s people, and the Gurkhas have selflessly given all of that and more. (One wonders whether the good Mr. “Fish” has given such service, or whether he would.) Given their loyalty, they should indeed sign up. The BNP would give them the support they deserve, which is more than the sorry current government has done.
–The Token Yank
I think that, with regard to the Gurkhas, you might want to ask Rajinder Singh what he thinks of the BNP.
He stood, side-by-side with BNP candidate Trevor Agnew and others as they tried to gain seats on Darlington Borough Council. He declared that he would be backing Mr Agnew “to the hilt”. Oh–and talking of hilts–Mr Singh is a former teacher in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, and is also an ex-Gurkha.
Mr Singh said: “There is nothing in the BNP manifesto that one could criticise. The only criticisms come from those with closed minds.” He supports the BNP’s stance against asylum seekers, claiming that the influx into Britain was simply “storing up trouble for future years,” and, “Their manifesto is excellent for this country. I want to break down barriers–political correctness is stopping common sense.”
Mr Agnew said: “Rajinder will be helping to urge people to support our stance against the asylum racket, which is causing trouble for white British people.”
There really is nothing like hearing it from the horse’s mouth, is there?
I would like to post an objection to the policy of only letting people into the party providing they are white. I understand some groups are made to cater for certain races, and though I generally don’t agree with that, I can sometimes accept it. But for a political party, that is totally inappropriate. I am very interested in reading any replies to this and would hope you do not reject my comment because it is disagreeing with one of the points in the article.
What even is British culture?
(if someone replies to this don’t just say ‘it’s what was lost with the influx of migrants’ or ‘it\s what we’ve had taken away from us due to Islam and the fear of Jihad’ cause those kind of statements are tossed about on these pages so much.
Would I be allowed to print this off and put it through peoples’ letterboxes or hand it out? I think this is really good, and could get people to listen.
I agree with everything written in this FAQ, with one exception: Civil Partnerships for homosexuals. Civil Partnerships protect the rights of both parties within a homosexual relationship. I believe this is the main reason Civil Partnerships were introduced into UK law, and whilst I agree that ‘Gay Pride’ demonstrations, along with homosexuals adopting children, etc. erroneously present homosexuality as an equal, or even better, alternative to heterosexuality, the basic rights of those who enter into such partnerships must be permitted and protected, and in my opinion – along with the opinion of most of the country, I should think — cause no ill effects on our nation and its people.
studious: It’s really very simple. A person’s sexuality is their own business and should remain so. The BNP never made an ‘issue’ out of it, they responded to what they see as the unwarranted promotion of certain ways of life, for political ends. That kind of manipultation is, in itself, a violation of YOUR rights.
Nationalism is about freedom with responsibilty. If you’re looking for victimisation or persecution, then I hate to disappoint you because you’ve come to the wrong place. We are not the ’school bully’, we’re the prefects, and we strive to safeguard fairness for all, in opposition to so-called ‘positive discrimination’ and all the other insidious little mind-games being played on the British people.
If I thought for one moment, that the party to which I proudly belong had some kind of agenda against gay people because they are gay, or any number of other possible examples, I would leave it in two seconds flat.
We have an old saying: M.Y.O.B. ‘Mind your own business.’
And we mean that in the BEST POSSIBLE TASTE!
Whilst I agree with the majority of your policies I, like many others I speak with, still have nagging doubts about the history of BNP. The party seems to be a regeneration of the National Front. Thuggery and racist violence was long associated with the National Front. While I read in the press that BNP does not endorse this behaviour, I have yet to see or hear the BNP publically denounce this behaviour.
My lingering suspicion is that BNP cannot afford to move far enough away from its National Front roots for fear of alienating a large number of its supporters. This suspicion prevents me from feeling able to back the BNP. I have read much of your website and your press but find no answer to my doubts, all I find is wishy washy comments that this behaviour is not encouraged, this level of denial simply is not enough to overcome my doubts. Please could someone provide an official BNP view on this.
—-
I hereby state, unequivocably, that the British National Party stands for all that is best about being British, and that most definitely does not include ‘thuggery and violence’. We are not connected to any other political party. We are just ordinary people who reserve, and will defend, the right to remain British. - Ed.
I haven’t come across any ‘thuggery’ or violence in the BNP. None at all.
I feel confident that the party management would weed out this sort of rubbish in the highly unlikely event that it reared its ugly head.
I feel so confident about this that I am proudly an active member in the party and that will not change anytime soon.
Don’t just take my word for it; why not find out for yourself? We really are very open. We have nothing to hide.
