Only the BNP will return social housing to local authority control
WHEN the British National Party scored its stunning victory in Gooshays ward for Havering Council in March of this year, it came on the back of a year long campaign by the victorious candidate Mark Logan and his dedicated team to alert voters to the excesses of the local Conservative-run Council.
High on the agenda of this campaign was the Tory scam to try to sell-off the borough’s greenbelt land to developers. Havering BNP scuppered this plan by planting eye-catching banners on the land in question and warning residents of the council’s intention.
The BNP also employed a solicitor to mount a legal challenge, collected over 3,000 signatures on a petition, and exposed the fact that Havering Council were in breach of the law and failing in their bio-diversity plan because there was an endangered species which had made their habitat on the site - even the RSPB joined the BNP campaign to oppose the plan to destroy this open space.
In the end the council were forced to back down and the BNP campaign against any building on the greenbelt - “Hands-off the Green Lungs of Havering”, was a huge success.
The residents of Gooshays ward showed their appreciation for the BNP by electing Mark Logan with a 10% swing to the BNP to secure a huge 38% share of the votes cast.
The full result then was:
Havering Borough Council
Gooshays Ward
Thursday 20th March 2008
Mark Logan (BNP) 865
Yve Cornell (Lab) 741
Malcolm Fox (Con) 489
Lawrence Webb (UKIP) 70
David Durant (Lib) 62
Ian Sanderson (Lib-Dem) 52
BNP Percentage: 38%
Two months later voters in Gooshays ward once again made the BNP their No.1 choice in the ward when the Party came first in the Top-Up List vote for the Greater London Assembly. This show of support came after another BNP exposure of the Tory policies that were hurting the ordinary working people of Havering.
Only the BNP was prepared to highlight the council’s local housing scandal that had 4,000 people in the borough on the council housing waiting list, many of whom would never ever get a council home. This was because the council-appointed East London Lettings Company was forcing local people to enter a ‘bidding system’, to make them compete for housing with people from other London boroughs and immigrants who had only just arrived in Britain.
The British National Party said this practice was unacceptable and that a BNP-run council would only put the local people of Havering in the borough’s local social housing and not those from other parts of London or from overseas.
The British National Party is now the only political party to campaign against the sell-off of council housing to private housing associations or “Arms Length Management Organizations” (ALMO). Labour and the Tories want to privatise all council housing and to scrap secure tenancy agreements. Almost £2 billion is siphoned off from council housing every year by the Labour Government, and the previous Conservative Government cut investment in council housing by 80%.
In 2007 council tenants in Havering were denied their right to a formal ballot and their homes handed over to ALMO “Homes in Havering”. Rents shot up by over 12% in fourteen months - and now the Conservative Council wants to sell-off another £500 million worth of council homes to a housing association.
The BNP fights for tenants’ rights, demanding that local authorities use the money from rents and capital receipts to build more urgently needed council homes for local residents.
Local council housing has been starved of money by both main political parties for far too long - only the British National Party will change this trend by investing in local council housing for the people who need it most - low-income LOCAL people.

Now does that not make you proud to be a BNP member ….. Just wait for the word to finally get around, they will be voting for us in their droves in all areas ……
Well done, BNP. But go further, end the ‘right to buy’ of council houses.
Irresponsible lending practices by the banks and building societies over the last twenty or thirty years, where loans of up to six times annual salary, or more, created the crazy property prices we see today.
When mortgages were two and a half times the annual salary, property prices were reasonable, and youngsters and low earners were able to buy a place of their own.
Nowadays, they have no chance of buying, there are very few, or zero council houses available to them, and private landlords charge the earth.
Well said Liverpool Lad, proud is the word indeed.
And I really hope more and more people are starting to see the disgraceful way liblabcon elected representatives treat the British people.
The only word for these parasites is shame.
Hope so LL - depends if they can drag themselves away from the Big Brother/Jeremy Kyle crowd -a lost generation of 16-24 year olds - caused by the 3 headed party!
Firstly, we need to ask why we have social housing. Secondly, we need to ensure that social housing is allocated for the right reasons to people who really need it.
Unfortunately, social housing has been used for ideological reasons and to buy votes and therefore most social housing units have benefited those for whom they were not built.
I worked on the 2001 Census and I can bear witness of the fact that quite a few properties were being used by people who did not want others to know that they were living in those properties. We could be talking about all kinds of peoples including criminals, illegal immigrants and failed asylum seekers who did not want to be identified.
The Metropolitan Police has been carrying out raids in London arresting quite a few people involved in drugs and prostitution but it has merely touched the tip of the iceberg. How many of the so called social housing units are being used by prostitution gangs? How many people are using social housing units to make a profit?
We could ask quite a few questions about issues related to social housing and we cannot possibly solve the housing crisis without answering those questions.
Ahhhh, the BNP….love it!
The reason British (true British people, not the free passport British) people can’t afford housing is simply because we give these so-called asylum seekers and immigrants our council housing above our own people and then THEY get to buy them cheap and either sell them on and make massive profits or help THEIR brethren to get a house too.
Council houses should not be sold on at massively discounted prices of up to 75%. My taxes have paid for those houses in the first place then I have to help fund the development of new council housing which is again in turn sold off cheap. Now I know for a fact that NO TAX PAYERS MONEY was used to help fund the purchase of my house, so why should I be treated unfavourably because I have always paid my way?
In the late seventies I worked as a rent collector. Admittedly there were the odd tenants who neglected their properties,but the vast majority were well cared for and people had pride in the fact that they had their own home.
It is madness that Banks and Building Societies are offering loans of up to six times the annual salary.Most homeowners, nowadays, will end up paying a mortgage for the rest of their lives even into retirement. Therefore it makes sense to have a Council Housing policy. Money is paid to the council for the benefit of the whole community, not just the banks.
I have always wondered why it has been “the big deal” to own your own house. I can only think that it is another form of control by the money men. Pay up or be homeless.
“Labour and the Tories want to privatise all council housing and to scrap secure tenancy agreements”
Housing Associations are virtually privatised anyway. Supposed to be non-profit making, executives get huge salaries and pensions compared to the old days when the councils ran their own housing. I’m sure they would love to scrap secure tenancies, but in fact Housing Associations have found more and more ways to make the so called “secure tenancies” more and more insecure. For instance the tenancy can be terminated for all sorts of new reasons, for instance being offensive to their staff. On the other hand their staff can be condescending and sarcastic to the point where they drive their tenants to being abusive out of sheer frustration.
How do I know about these things? I live in a small housing association property AND I used to run a hostel for homeless young people that was managed by a Housing Association.
On the question of being abusive, the DWP may stop all payments for 10 weeks on a lie, and if you raise your voice you will be escorted out by security. You are supposed to stay calm whilst they lie and move the goalposts and you can get no answers as to when they will pay you.
Of course,if you are an ethnic from a certain religious cult, or an asylum seeker you have a number of advocacy groups to help you so it doesn’t happen in the first place.
Oh, BTW, it’s not me–I’m retired, but a family member who has a genuine illness.
It would have been a great surprise if the BNP had failed to do well in Havering. A number of the former residents of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham have moved there in order to escape the blight that immigration has cast on their erstwhile hometown over the last few years. Residents already domiciled in Havering don’t have to look very far to see what might happen to their borough soon if “Cerberus” isn’t brought to heel by voters.
Those living in leafy cloud-cuckoo land where the problems caused by unchecked immigration are out of sight and out of mind would do well to consider the example of Havering and what its residents have done in response to the threats posed to their lifestyle by the liblabcon-trick.
The BNP does a unique job in voicing the local concerns of local people by local people for local people. This is democracy taken back to its roots where it should be strongest. Democracy is not to be sold away, privatised or put out to tender. The BNP is a democratic party that stands up for the rights of the people, not all peoples or imported people but the people of Britain who exist as a people just like the Japanese or the Eskimos do and don’t let anyone try to persuade you otherwise.
Well done BNP. The only people to be receiving these houses are the ones that have lived in the area for a considerable time, whose roots and family are there! How dare these lib/lab/con scum give our social housing away to foreigners who haven’t put a bean in the ‘pot’ and don’t intend to either! My son has to rely on renting rooms to keep a roof over his head. The chances of him ever getting a social house is absolutely zilch! Where else in the world would they be putting foreigners before the indigenous people? It makes me just feel like screaming!
Has anyone noticed how strange it is to hear about local councillors (BNP) actually fighting the causes for the very people that voted for them–it really is a breath of fresh air and well done to all involved, especially as most LibLabCon councillors are only interested in what’s in it for themselves and are always towing their own party directives, which usually means not listening to the people, and fast-tracking devious little enterprises like illegally selling off greenbelt land to greedy developers, probably for a nice little earner.
The people really are starting to take notice–you hear it everyday in general conversation. You only have to look at our steadily-rising number of web site hits and our landmark 100 BNP councillors to see the progress. The frustration with being a BNP member or supporter is watching our once-wonderful island sinking into an unrecognisable third world mess whilst we wait for our people to wake up.
Even with all the magnificent gains made by the party over the last few years, without mass media exposure, will we ever be in a position to seriously challenge for power in the near future? It seems to me that with immigration levels running at an all-time high, time is definitely not on our side.
I feel very anxious about our situation and believe that the BNP management team must find ways to propel the party forward with ever-increasing speed. A radio station does come to mind along with more TV programmes. I have mentioned in the past about a promotional DVD or introductory TV programme permanently posted on this site as a welcome to the British National Party. All I really want to say is that I hope the clever people at the BNP have some very cunning plans to speed up our exposure and put us clearly on the road to Parliament.

There are communication initiatives in the pipeline, Lancashireman. - Ed
Lets hope this spreads across the area there must be several winnable wards down there
I don’t have the figures as I have lost them but I remember reading that something like 200,000 people are sleeping rough on Britain’s streets and that at least 10% of these are Ex British Servicemen, I have seen other figures that show these figures are low and the real figures much higher.
IE, at least 10,000 Ex British servicemen are sleeping rough while we give away free homes (they don’t bring their own) to hundreds of thousands of ‘asylum seekers’ every year.
Does anyone know the real figures?
Good story, Ed, and well done to all involved - this is just the sort of thing that proves, yet again, that BNP Councillors work very hard for the benefit of their constituents.
Slightly off-topic, but relevant in some ways, is Simon’s story about Border TV (http://www.simondarby.blogspot.com/). I would urge people to view the report for which Simon has provided the link - be warned it will make your blood boil, but don’t get mad - let’s just get even.
And in that vein I have sent the following email to Border TV:
Dear Sir/Madam
I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms over your report on Councillor Abdul Harid of Carlisle City Council (Border News 21 May 2008).
I found the whole tone of the report to be racially insulting towards the aboriginal indigenous people of England and in particular to those of the white indigenous population who are members of, or support, the British National Party. The presentation of the report was designed to stir up hatred against a legally established political party and was completely one-sided, in that you only presented the views of the Labour Councillor.
We in the British National Party understand that the media, being a crucial tool in the Establishment’s iron grip on this country, long ago lost its ability to be neutral in the way that it reports any matters relating to our Party. We also understand that the NUJ has a declared policy of never reporting anything about the BNP in a positive light. However your programme managed to fall way short of even our very limited expectations of fairness.
I am recommending to the Party (of which I and many thousands of others are proud members) that they use your programme as a typically crass example of how the British media propagandises against the native British and promotes a policy of self-hatred, designed to facilitate the ethnic cleansing of us, the indigenous peoples, from our ancestral homeland. In that respect, at least, we will be able to achieve something positive from your blatant attack on our Folk and recruit even more support from a population that is sick to the back teeth from seeing their birthright being stolen by the ruling elite, supported by the quislings of the media.
Finally, I suggest that your reporter may perhaps benefit from visiting our website (THE most popular political website in the UK) http://www.bnp.org.uk/ where she would benefit from extending her, self-evidently, limited knowledge of Britain’s fastest growing political party.
Yours faithfully
A Brewer

That’s the way to do it - Ed
Lets hope that people in the surrounding areas of Havering who see how much good the BNP are doing for its indigenous inhabitants expect, no, DEMAND the same from their own councils. Unfortunately the response they get back will not live up to their neighbours. So, to those people a few words of wisdom. At the next election, you know who to vote for.
BNP.
Off topic ed but Is it true that at the same time as the well publicised human embriology bill was being going on in Westminster the Lords secretly passed the Lisbon treaty.
………………………………………………..
I think they’ve put it on ‘hold’ pending the outcome of Stewart Wheeler’s case against McBean and Millipede, which is to be heard on the 9th and 10th June. It renders the Government’s attempt to ratify the Lisbon Treaty sub judice. Ed
The Labour party selling off council houses ??? You really would have thought, for a party that was supposed to be “by the people for the people” that they would have put a stop to that as soon as they got into power. I guess there is too much money going into their trough for them to do that though. Why do Labour supporters not see how far their party has deviated from their original political agenda? Their founders must be spinning in their graves. It would seem that we are the only party that covers all the bases, traditional English (conservative) values & standing up for the “ordinary” man in the street. SO WHY do people not vote on mass for the BNP ????? REALLY ?????? WHY?
There’s a story in the Mirror about a woman who was fined £75 because she put her rubbish out the night before it was due to be collected. The Council in Greater Manchester demands that people put their rubbish out in the morning of the pick up day because arsonists target bins. Do you see how backwards their whole way of thinking is? Rather than fight the arsonists they will punish the public.
………………………………………
The Mail reported she was fined £265 - Ed
Because they are politically retarded and no offence but most of them are showing that they seem to portray that they have below average intelligence when it comes to labour and their lies ………
Well done to the BNP in Havering Council for averting the concreting over of precious green space & for ensuring the locals rightly get first choice in housing in their own area. It just goes to show the good that can be done when the politicians are on the side of the people & do not have a separate agenda of their own. It’s not rocket science & proves the point made a week or so ago in the article on this very site. The article [can't remember which actual one] correctly said that the mess our country was in had been caused by human beings [the lib/lab/con gang] & therefore could be rectified by human beings, unlike the diversity & multicultural liars who parrot continuously that things have always been as bad as this so why bother to complain. Well the BNP has been proved right again. It’s easy to be right when you’re telling the flipping truth & the other guys are lying through their teeth. At last the ordinary indigenous British people have a party to stand up for their rights. The dam has been breached & a steady trickle will become a torrent that will sweep the lib/lab/con liars away. The New Labour Project is finished & so are its con artists & bulls——s
This is what the shower of thieving lying sycophantic practitioners of all vices are afraid of the TRUTH its gonna kill em/ BNP 4 me WE may yet get a decent country back with pride and respect
The Govt and their Global Elite Bedfellows are just packing us in lie sardines, More people less Pay, = GREATER PROFITS, it’s a simple Brutal economic equation.
We need FEWER PEOPLE in this country, I want my children to inherit a green and Pleasant land, currently we have 60 Million, the Govt is talking about 100 Million !!
Reducing the population will reduce road congestion, pollution, land fill problems, crime, prison over crowding, NHS and welfare overstretch.
Too Many People.
Thats how to do it!I live in green belt land that is rapidly disappearing,being overtaken by an ever expanding “industrial area”.This has had a devastating impact on pollution both air and noise from lorries and has increased local road accidents considerably.We need you BNP,now more than ever.The green party are hypocrites who encourage mass immigration which is causing the loss of green belt land to housing!

Social housing coupled with strong,effective and determined anti social behaviour laws will revolutionise housing. When I was a kid I lived on a superb council estate real community spirit, doors left open, neighbour helping neighbour etc. The labour council though started moving scum families onto the estate, punishing decent hard working people who had to live next door to them. They were using 6th form sociology ideas to run a town. Complaining was futile. Result? We all know that thanks to pathetic politicians great council estates the length of the country are no go areas for decent families.
Only the BNP has the policies and drive to rid the streets of all vermin, regardless of colour so decent people can once again live safely on our estates.
This sort of thing is nothing new, it has been going on for decades. When i was in council housing in the 80s, i had my own business but had a long drive from my home to my business premises. I applied for a council transfer (twice) but was only offered housing on a run down estate, i was told by friends to never accept the offer, it turned out to be good advice, the estate eventually errupted into violence and cars and homes were burned to the ground. At the same time i became friendly with a Vietnam vet who came over here seaking assylum, he told me that he had a nice house in a good area and had all sorts of help, carpets/decorating etc, the upshot of this tale is i bought the house from him to be near my business. This is what riles me, i was offerd a crap place to live but i had to buy a house from a foreigner who 3 years earlier hadnt a penny, but he made 13 grand profit from me, and still it goes on, Dave NE
