Could the reason for this disgraceful behaviour have anything to do with the fact that the focus of these vitriolic attack is none other than the British National Party???
As we informed you last Saturday (April 12th) the organisation known as ‘Operation Black Vote‘ (OBV) has begun a vitriolic campaign against the British National Party, aided and abetted by, Ken Livingstone, Boris “I’m proud of my Muslim roots” Johnson, Brian Paddick and Sian Berry.
Some of the organisations behind the campaign included, the ultra-democratic Muslim Council of Britain, The British Board of Deputies, Hindu Forum, Sikh Forum, London Civic Forum, BAME Labour, Southwark Cathedral (read - some left wing clergy from the Cathedral), and the TUC.
Strange isn’t it that none of these establishment luvvies, along with assorted hangers-on (for their own purposes) see ‘Operation Black Vote‘ as a racist organisation??? Double standards? But of course! For the only ethnic group not afforded protection in today’s Britain are the ethnic English, Scots, Irish and Welsh!
On April 12th we also told you that ‘Operation Black Vote’ appears to have received considerable funding from Government agencies as follows:-
The Home Office - undisclosed amount, reported in press release, 16th March 2006.
The London Councils - £82,500 approved for the period 2004-2007.
The London Government - £33,000 grant recommended for 2006-2007.
In addition, the following statutory authority has given grants to Operation Black Vote:
The Electoral Commission - awarded Operation Black Vote the total of £196,596 over two years.
An e-mailed letter of complaint regarding the inappropriate activities of ‘OBV‘ has been sent to the Electoral Commission, three times. Once on the 13th April, and twice (to two different officials) on the 15th April.
You may not be surprised to learn that there has been no response - not even an emailed acknowledgment - to any of these letters!
It is for this reason that we now make the letter public. The letter in question is copied for your information at the foot of this page.
There are laws that govern how the Electoral Commission operates, and it is of course a ‘Statutory Body‘ that is funded by the Government. For such a body to treat genuine complaints with such cavalier disdain is utterly unacceptable, and we call upon the Electoral Commission to respond to the complainant forthwith. We further call upon the ‘Commission‘ to do that which it was set up for, namely to ensure that elections are administered in a lawful and proper way.
If the rule of law is to be observed they must act.
A continuation of the current situation will show to the world that British elections are now no better than those of Zimbabwe. And those elections are quite rightly currently making headlines around the world. Indeed, whilst these abuses of electoral law continue, how can the British government dare to make unfavourable comments about other countries methods of holding elections? Be it China, Russia, Burma, or any number of other countries scattered around the world, any complaints from Britain would be no more than pots calling kettles black!
The letter is to be sent a fourth time, though this time around it will also be copied to the Zimbabwean High Commission, The Chinese Embassy, The Russian Embassy, and others!
Dear Sirs,
For the attention of: Vera Markos, Head of Strategy and Secretary to The Commission.
This complaint refers to the activities of the organisation Operation Black Vote (OBV), and the funding relationship between OBV and The Charity Commission.
Operation Black Vote has a very clear, and publicly declared, political position. On its website it identifies the “enemy” as the members, and election candidates, of ‘The British National Party‘. It has been running an overt, anti-BNP political smear campaign since at least March 2002 (in its ‘When Hate Comes To Town‘ article).
In February 2004 it ran an article entitled ‘British National Party Have [sic] No Place In A Decent Society’.
Given the support and considerable funding that The Electoral Commission gives to OBV, many people might conclude that your organisation also supports the position that the BNP “have no place in a decent society” and that the BNP is “the enemy“.
Given that PPERA 2000 requires you, as the statutory authority, to provide support, guidance and assistance to all legal parties, this could pose something of a dilemma for The Electoral Commission.
In a campaign directed at the London Assembly and London Mayoral Elections, launched on the 8th April, OBV promoted its position with some especially virulent forms of hate-mongering propaganda. Those of us with partners or parents who were victims of the London Blitz find this, personally, to be a particularly sick form of political activism.
Why, then, does the Electoral Commission, a publicly funded statutory body, fund such an organisation? What is the basis for the Electoral Commission to provide public money to an organisation that indulges in electoral campaigning - and of campaigning of this particularly vitriolic (and, I believe, overtly racist) form?
The OBV organisation have not registered as a ‘third party’ organisation. How are their activities and expenditures regulated? It would seem to me you (The Electoral Commission) are funding an organisation that is flouting the regulations - regulations that you yourselves are required to enforce.
I refer you to an article in The Evening Standard, on the 20th February 2008, by Nick Cohen:
Labour, the Conservatives, Greens and the Liberal Democrats support it [Operation Black Vote]. The Electoral Commission support it, too, through the taxpayers’ money various Whitehall ministries pump into the “non-party political” campaign group.
Unfortunately, Lee Jasper is its chair and the destruction of high purposes and public trust seems to follow that gentleman with a wearisome inevitability. The OBV campaign has been hijacked and turned into a vehicle for Ken Livingstone. If you doubt me, listen to Jasper in a recent interview with the Voice:
“I am going to be working hard with Operation Black Vote and a host of other organisations to register as many of our people to vote,” he told the black paper. Fair enough - the organisation exists to increase turnout. But, he continued, black voters should vote for only one man. “I think people see that the other candidates don’t have substantive policy positions on any of the major issues. Ken, standing on his record and his manifesto, will be declared the candidate of choice.”
Readers of the Voice - or of the attacks on critics of Jasper on the Operation Black Vote website - can’t doubt that this supposedly nonpartisan campaign is endorsing Livingstone, and that everything about its turn into party politics is wrong.
The law requires organisations wishing to influence the outcome of an election to register as “Third Parties” with the Electoral Commission and account for their spending. Operation Black Vote has not registered.
Meanwhile, rival parties see that the pressure group they helped in good faith is now a “Re-elect Ken” campaign, while taxpayers are forced yet again to wonder why their money is going astray.
I believe there is a very real danger that The Electoral Commission could lose all credibility as a statutory authority, and therefore this needs to be dealt with as a matter of some urgency. There are, without doubt, some very serious legal issues arising from the activities of the OBV organisation - and of its funding arrangements.
I await your response with considerable interest.
Yours sincerely

Would it come as any surprise to learn that the Electoral Commissioners are graduates of ‘Common Purpose’? Consequently, any complaints by the BNP are bound to be ignored by them. The BNP should seek a judicial review on the EC’s lack of action in applying its own rules. (Hopefully with a judge who isn’t a CP graduate, too.)
One day Livingstone and Jasper will be on trial and found guilty of treason and corruption! I hope they bang them up in ‘Her Majesty’s Belmarsh Prison’ with all their Muslim mates, and let the crack-and-smack-heads keep them up all night clucking for their next fix! I don’t think these two will be sleeping well tonight. Not with a Poll of 14 percent for the BNP in the Mayoral Elections! Our Time Will Come!
I see the BBC are busy backing UKIP in London. All of a sudden the state-created party wants to stop all immigration for five years. Obviously this is just to take votes from the BNP. Don’t be fooled, London….
When are the rest of the sheeple going to wake up and see it is the government who are the racists? Vote BNP! (Your future depends on it)
It just backs up the amount of corruption, lies and dishonesty that we now have in this country, They bring in political correctness and exchange it for decency, truth and honesty. No wonder the country is in such a mess.
Yep, smells of CP. More about CP:
http://www.stopcp.com/
Keep up the pressure now BNP and call them out until you are hoarse. Dirty tricks is dirty tricks and the only way, as with any complaint, is to get noisy. Now we can’t say ‘Operation White Vote’ as it (a) Wouldn’t be allowed and (b) Would sound ’superficially racist’ and turn people off. So have a think folks: what would be a clever foil to their establishment-condoned blunt instrument attack?
Democracy and the rule of law, teetering on the very edge of destruction, courtesy of an Electoral Commission that’s starting to look like a agency caving in to inappropriate pressure and, who knows? - intimidation or some other form of corruption.
Let’s face it, Britain is now a nation with all the integrity and self-confidence of a banana republic, with political ‘leaders’ who leave observers gasping with disbelief and horror that we could ever have allowed ourselves to sink so low.
SAVE BRITAIN - VOTE BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY.
Lickyalips is almost certainly correct in his suspicions that Kommissar Vera Markos and the rest of the apparatchiks in the Electoral Kommissariat are indeed Common Purpose graduates. There is no other possible explanation for their unconditional support and even actual funding of OBV, a blatantly racist organisation.
This particular situation is simply another demonstration of the fact that the entire political regime in this country is geared to an agenda of total, national destruction, in pursuit of which the ruling elite have utterly corrupted all of our public institutions, the Electoral Kommissariat included.
This really stinks. Just when you think this lot can go no lower, they set new new records.
BNP, Please listen up!
Forget email. I am urging you that you now need to send this letter by Royal Mail Special Delivery. It will, therefore, have to be signed by the recipient on delivery of the letter.
That is the only way that you will guarantee its delivery and have an acknowledgement of receipt. The cost I think, is £2.50.
I may just have to look into starting an organisation called ”Operation White British Vote”. If the government thinks they are going to spend my taxes on this rubbish, they have another thing coming. I do not mind spending taxes on the police, ambulance, fire services, but I do NOT want MY money being used in this racist campaign!!!
-
Sadly, such an operation would attract none of the money that is available to Operation Black Vote. Oh, and it would probably be deemed “racist” too-Ed
Common Purpose exists to take power away from Parliament, and in a few years to use the fact that Parliament has no power as the excuse to abolish it and turn all our age-old institutions over to Europe. A case in point is that the Justice secretary has been stripped of his power to have any say at all on prisoners’ sentences. That is now to be the province of unelected judges! Keep watching how much more power will be removed from Parliament until it is absolutely powerless! Then watch the end of what was once held up to the world as a model of the way a democratic system should be. And in its place Europe will be putting a system modeled on the Soviet Union!
UprightMan said “Now we can’t say ‘Operation White Vote’ as it (a) Wouldn’t be allowed and (b) Would sound ’superficially racist’ and turn people off.”
How about ‘Operation Kuffar Vote?’ Kuffars are of all races, both sexes and most religions (with one obvious exception).

Let’s try setting up Operation White Vote just to see what happens - isn’t it called making your own news?
And I agree with Shropshire Lass about a registered letter. There’s nothing the bureaucracy likes less than hard copy.
Belenus,
The establishment are keen to promote UKIP as some sort of ‘BNP-lite’ a sort of harmless safety valve for the growing frustrations of the ordinary British people.
However, the BNP is the only party that understands and is willing to discuss the Muslim problem, and this could work greatly in the party’s favour if the electorate could be made to understand the immediacy and deadly severity of the Islamic threat. More ‘Islamic Awareness Weeks’ are needed:
http://isupporttheresistance.blogspot.com/2007/10/get-ready-for-islamic-awareness-week.html
This is racist and undemocratic…
Operation Black Vote is funded by:
Big Lottery Fund, Bristol City Council, Cadbury Barrow Trust, Department of Communities and Local Government, Electoral Commission, Home Office, Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, London Councils, Ministry of Justice, National Assembly for Wales.
I was never consulted! What about an operation VOTE and nothing more… Whats really shocking is the ‘Ministry of Justice’ is among the list. Is this Just??!
Excellent idea Shropshire Lass - how about expanding on it?
How about we ALL send a printed copy of the letter to them via recorded delivery (only about £1.40)?
A few hundred simultaneous letters might stir things a bit?
I read in today’s Telegraph about an organisation to promote people of a particular ethnic origin voting in the London elections. The aim of this organisation is to promote the culture and heritage of this ethnic group and halt apathy and despair. Hopefully if enough of this beleagured ethnic group vote they will successfully elect a Mayor to protect their ethnic origins.
This organisation is called XWV ( operation white vote )which is of course not racist in the slightest.
The Electoral Commision support it, as does the government , trade unions, The Council of British Muslims, Khan Livingstoned to name but a few.
This organisation gets considerable funding from the tax payer. It is said that XWV is concerned about the rise of a fascist tendency in The Capital, which is known as IslaMarxism, it is threatening to destroy social cohesion and and give the Capital a bad reputation in the eyes of the rest of the World, especially Rhodesia, sorry Zimbabwe.
All decent citizens should do their utmost to support this group,
OPERATION WHITE VOTE.
Bugger! why do I keep seeing these bloody pigs flying overhead, perhaps they’re emigrating to a warmer more tolerant climate somewhere in the Middle East.
——
This is shocking news, jao7. Was the taxpayer consulted on financing this partisan group? Surely, this sort of thing is completely unacceptable in a modern democracy! This is base favouritism - no doubt engineered in order to garner maximum votes from this ethnic group. Pure political opportunism: or is it, perhaps, part of something far more sinister?
We must demand an immediate enquiry into the hijacking of democracy by this minority element. This enquiry should last at least four hundred years, and cost a minimum of tens of millions of pounds. Cough up. - Ed.
Political corruption (funded by the hard pressed British tax-payer) seems not only to have no end, but is exponentially increasing.
Perhaps we should apply to the United Nations to have international monitors to oversee our elections. Just as other Banana Republics do.
I too emailed a formal complaint to the Electoral Commission concerning the funding and activities of Operation Black Vote, immediately following the first news report on this site. Needless to mention, the EC did not respond to my email.
Ironically, I only ever possessed the vote for the first time once I had returned to Britain as a young man, as I had grown up in a foreign oligarchical police state, where British and other “foreign” residents were not allowed to vote in their adoptive country. I remember the first time I cast a vote:- I was euphoric. Had I known then what I know now, I should have joined our predecessor nationalist organisation long ago; as it is, I have been a member of the BNP for some years, and my political and nationalist education has come on in leaps and bounds, thanks to our Chairman’s and others’ brilliant articles and analyses, appearing in our regular publications and on this website. I have made it my business to keep far-flung imperial family members fully informed of events and developments in Britain, so that they in turn could warn and enlighten and educate other distant expat Brits living longterm abroad, of the horrifying developments back in the Motherland.
Send them a “Notice of understanding and intent and a claim of right” give them 7 days to answer, if they do not then carry out your claim of right…send it by Royal Mail Special delivery as suggested by Shropshire Lass.
Royal mail special delivery sounds a great idea. This whole issue to me smells of “CP”, and to fund the OBV from taxes cannot be legal, that in itself is racist, as is the black law society, the black police society etc., etc., etc., which are all based on being “black.” Can someone please tell me that this is not a racist policy, or am I missing something?
This kind of dirty trick politics really can backfire on the perpetrators. Look at your web rating BNP! It’s gained yet more traffic even in the past few days. The people of Britain won’t be made fools of forever. Thoroughly decent people from all backgrounds are concerned about the takeover of Great Britain as the watering down of any one race becomes more and more evident. Britain and the rest of Europe are leading, and showing the world what can happen when successive governments aim to weaken the people. Wake up Britain, you’ve all but lost your identity. Vote BNP. They are the only party interested in preserving British culture.
Given the high number of alienated and poorly-educated young white youths in the capital, an Operation White Vote seems entirely appropriate - or just a campaign to widen democratic participation that does not divide along racial lines. A quick glimpse at the Black Vote website reveals that ‘black’ includes not only Africans and Afro-Caribbeans but those from the Indian subcontinent, Chinese, Arabs, Turks - in fact every ‘ethnicity’ except white people.
Given the high number of ‘white’ immigrants now in London the whole Operation Black Vote agenda comes across as one of separatism, racism and exclusion - the kind of organisation once necessary in Jim Crow America perhaps, but entirely inappropriate in modern London. It is obvious that such an organisation only exists as a justification for the ‘professional ethnics’ like Lee Jasper, Trevor Phillips, et al to continue to scrounge off the hard-working taxpayer, and to promote an antiquated myth of racial oppression to win ever more preferential treatment for their own groups. These are the race-obsessed extremists who spout separateness and promote ethnic conflict and hatred.
Thankfully ‘our people’ (to quote L.Jasper) have the BNP to speak out for us - it is obvious no-one else will.
It says a lot about the nature of this country when legitimate complaints are blatantly ignored by officials. Operation Black Vote, by endorsing a single candidate whilst receiving Public Funds, is breaking the law. Or maybe they are above the law in this New Labour dictatorship. How is it that a bunch of publicly-funded groups supporting partisan ethnic interests can gang up and say that another group, the BNP, that looks after the interests of the indigenous peoples of these islands is racist? Ironic or illegal - or both?
OK, EVERYBODY THE ADDRESS TO SEND A LETTER TO:
Vera Markos - Head of Strategy and Secretary to the Commission
The Electoral Commission
Trevelyan House
30 Great Peter Street
London SW1P 2HW
You can send it by Recorded Delivery (Signed For). This means that a signature has to be obtained on delivery. I think this costs around 70p over the letter cost.
Let’s all do it folks–My letter going out this afternoon! Oh, and ask for a reply from them, too!
Could I add to the above? Find your MP’s email address and email him/her a copy. Ask them to look into this “subversion of the democratic process” and make sure you ask them to reply a.s.a.p. This needs blanket coverage.
Great idea Shropshire Lass.
I shall be posting mine tomorrow.
Here and there around these posts there have been those of us who had thought and said that Hindus and Sikhs do not join in with others on the crusades against our people. Here are in fact these very people in their organisations joining in with the communists and Brit-haters in the attacks against us. The line up now would appear to be Hindus who have done very nicely in England, and Sikhs who have done well as well. The British Board of Deputies who are the Jewish lobby group are there as well. It would appear therefore that even if their members may not agree with their leaders (?) they are on the opposite side.
The area where I live has been leafleted by this organisation’s friend, the UAF, with as nasty a piece of filth as can be imagined. That’s because this ward has a BNP candidate–that’s me. As Churchill would say, and I am no great fan of his, keep ‘buggering on’. KBO.
I’ve had a request for an A4 poster to put into someones window, are there any?
The inauguration of an “Operation White Vote” would now seem to be a necessity, if we wish to successfully counter the anti-democratic activities of OBV.
Let’s face it, the largest body of the disenfranchised and the politically disengaged is amongst the indigenous population of these Islands, as average election turnout figures will confirm.
Any fears that an OWV would be deemed “racist” is an irrelevance - the native Brits are becoming immune to this type of marxist “swearword” through over-use by our enemies. Anyway, it is simple logic to just counter any such charges by stating the blindingly obvious, that the establishment has brought this action upon themselves by supporting an anti-White organisation like OBV.
I, for one, would be willing to assist in the setting-up of Operation White Vote, if the Party believes that this could be a fruitful use of resources.
Shropshire Lass. My letter is going Friday pm. I have also added: “Have you ever attended a Common Purpose course, and if so who paid for it?”
Recorded delivery now is tracked by computer (’Track and Trace’)
http://track.royalmail.com/portal/rm/track?catId=22700601&gear=authentication
- you can trace the item’s delivery, and even see a digital copy of the signature (if the system is working). Good luck with these people; like many I’m fatalistic and just take it for granted these people are just opportunist money-makers and corrupt liars — but I accept that something should be done. Maybe I’ll do something..!
Makes you wonder what our grandparents would have done during WW1/WW2 if they knew what the British-hating liberal/left were going to turn our country into.
I agree wholeheartedly with David Little, many people associated with the BNP have shown a lot of decency and respect to the Sikhs and Hindus, and yes indeed they have done VERY, VERY well out of how great this country is. Now they are joining the mob who seek to destroy the only party that will restore the greatness that they have so benefited from–we are the only party who respects the sacrifices our people made to allow them all to come here and do so well.
So if any Sikhs or Hindus read this, then think about it. We are not racist, (I’m so SICK of that cheap jibe), all we want is Britain to be great again, as it was.
Chris
It is not a question of them not wanting to answer the letter, but a case of them not being able to. They have been caught with their fingers in the till and are at a loss as to how to respond. They are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. So they will just bury their heads in the sand. It would be nice if the corruption that goes on, and the concerted underhanded campaigns being run against us by the establishment time and time again, could be exposed in our political broadcast (although I realise the time allocated is frustratingly short). A direct comparison with Zimbabwe would not exactly be inaccurate!!!
Why are these people so much against us? What have they to hide? It was we who made them welcome here, gave them food and shelter. What are they giving us in return? Downright treachery! We are only complaining that too many people are here. The island isn’t big enough for all these people. Is the plan to get rid of the white people? If we have a hot summer, what about the water supply? If we have a wet summer, what about the food supply? Who is going to get it? 40 million people would struggle. What are we going to do with 90 million and climbing?
The BNP are the only party who will give the Ghurkas nationality. Pensioners, regardless of colour, so long as they have contributed, soldiers, police, nurses and doctors will get their full entitlement and the BNP will look after them. Murderers, child molesters, drug dealers, burglars, terrorists and wife beaters - these people need to worry about the BNP regardless of their colour.
Operation White Vote, the British People do need to look around and start uniting and organising because we really are in a war–a war for our very survival. Communists do not care about whom they rule over. A cultural revolution is next and we Brits are the obvious targets. 100,000,000 dead, this is what Communists do:
http://thisiszionism.blogspot.com/search/label/Jewish%20Rule
There really is a strong case for overseas monitors to keep an eye on our elections which, as we know have already been likened to a, “Banana Republic”. I suspect Common Purpose may be involved here, and a close eye needs to be kept on postal votes as this is so open to abuse. You have to ask, knowing the facts from previous postal vote frauds, why we are still using it? It really does seem that the lunatics have taken over the asylum, and we are going to have a real fight on our hands to restore order to the chaos this country is in. Our only hope lies with the BNP, you know what to do!
