WHILST the current record levels of food and fuel prices are largely the result of the supply and demand operating within the global market in which, under both the Labour Government and Tory Opposition Britain is trapped, costs are even higher thanks to another rather unpleasant side-effect of their globalised economy.
The global market place is infested by speculators, people who make money out of nothing by gambling on the rise and fall of commodity and share prices and in the process force prices up even higher.
For the last ten years the British National Party has been warning about the antics of these parasites who exploit the financial markets, but politicians from all the other parties have dismissed our arguments even claiming that the increasing numbers of speculators centred in places like the City of London and Canary Wharf, are actually beneficial to Britain.
But now the BNP standpoint has been vindicated. David Smith, principal economic columnist for the Sunday Times, writing in his Economic Outlook column in the paper’s business section last month, posed this question on food, fuel and other basic commodities:
“So how come prices are still rising? The answer lies with the new breed of commodity investor, from the hedge funds and investment banks, who have elbowed aside those who traditionally invested in metals, food, and energy commodities.
“Tens of billions of dollars of new money have been pouring into the markets, driving prices ever higher. The same people who brought you the sub-prime crisis and the credit crunch are partly responsible for £1-20-a-litre diesel and food riots from Haiti to Egypt….
“The financial tail wagged by the hedge funds and investment banks in their greedy search for returns will continue to produce nasty economic and social consequences.
“Making money out of people’s desperate shortages of food is obscene, a bit like wartime profiteering.”
Well, we couldn’t have put it better ourselves.
So next time you are out doing the weekly shop or filling up the car with petrol and feel the pinch of rising prices, just remember who is responsible.
It’s the likes of Gordon Brown and David Cameron who can’t see beyond the global market and think it’s a good thing that speculators based in Britain, are able to manipulate the cost of our essential items.
Only the British National Party will get Britain out of the global market and end the commodity investor rip-off by gearing Britain’s economy towards self-sufficiency in as many fields of production as possible.

Time after time after time the British National Party’s policies have been proven to right but those with the power have turned a deaf ear.
Like an Egotist from Hell they would rather this country went to the wall than to admit for one moment that they could be wrong.
You see, it takes a big man to admit he is wrong and we have people who behave like children running Britain. Just look at the treatment of Richard Barnbrook by his peers for proof.
I don’t think they ever left the playground.
OT but relevant - seems like all the BNP’s ideas are being stolen . .

The BNP’s ideas are being stolen…well there’s a novelty! - Ed.
We were conned out of our pensions when they robbed our pension funds, so we put our money into housing as a safeguard for our old age. They have now destroyed the housing market by pushing people into excessive debt, so some of us were duped into putting money into the market for dollars, investing in safe banks (?) or the commodity markets, initially into gold and oil but lately into food, which was being touted as rising fast.
Miraculously, they then discovered new oilfields and unsuspected areas where they were growing grain (?), so that was another loss. They are now parading the art market as a good resting place for your money before they start creaming it off, as they assuredly will.
Have no doubt, they are after your money wherever you try to put it and however little you have left after tax and debt servicing. Even cash is hardly usable any more. The aim is for you to be born with nothing and die with nothing - another good way to break up the supportive family nexus. Meanwhile, the global elite will be buying up the world as prime real estate with some of us left to tend the pool, the gardens and the kitchen.
When I first joined the Party,our one and only enemy was international finance and those attached to it. Now we add Extreme Islam, making two powerful enemies.
Taking the two together the first thinks it is powerful enough to control the second.If we wish to suvive as a people we must never underestimate International Finance as a serious foe. Their bottom line is totally opposite to a healthy Nation State.
I agree completely. It should be illegal to trade essential commodities like oil and food without a real intention to ever take delivery. People at hedge funds in the City who are causing harm to their fellow citizens should be ashamed of the damage they are doing.
Tony these people have no shame because they feel for no one but themselves. The thought of giving a damn about your country and your fellow country men/women is completely beyond them.
A possible liblabcon response to this disgraceful state of affairs might be to convene a “Committee of Enquiry” (how I used to groan when hearing those words) which after ten years or so at the public trough might produce a “white paper” or perhaps a “green paper” for debate in a near-empty House of Commons. After ensuring that every possible cent had been milked from the system, consulting with “watchdogs” (ha, ha) and lawyers etc, they might send the equivalent of PC Chaudry to remonstrate with these malefactors.
I’m glad to belong to a Party that has a more sensible and vigorous approach to this problem by tackling it at the root cause. Our freedom from the EU must be the first action of a hopefully soon incoming BNP government.

These speculating spivs are evil. They are ENEMIES OF OUR PEOPLE. The historical record shows unequivocally that our industrial decline is down to their short-termist greed. They have no more patriotism in them than does a bunch of radishes. They have gutted us, stripped out the wherewithal the people need to live decent productive lives whilst posing as beneficial “wealth creators”. Nothing could be further from the truth, they skim off the cream, they destroy real wealth creation. The reason so many of our people look so depressed, so down at heel, so unfit, is them.
The nation has been caught between two fires, these spivs and Marxist and left-liberal rabble. They may have different agendas but their hellish de facto alliance has done most grievous damage to our nation.
This should never be forgotten nor forgiven.
GORDON BROWN WAS A SPECULATOR IN REVERSE. HE SOLD OUR GOLD RESERVES FOR EUROS
Self sufficiency in food is an enviable position for any Country to be in, at any time in history, petrol and diesel prices are however the direct fault of this greedy, selfish Government. They are holding a gun at the motorist’s head, so that our taxes are syphoned of in foreign aid and given away to anyone who wants it.
It just goes to prove that some people would sooner listen to a plausible liar like the lib-lab-con tricksters,than straight talking,no nonesense truths from the BNP despite the fact that we have been proven right time after time.Sometimes,the truth is hard to swallow if it foretells something that may interfere with our Utopian daydreams, but the lies being bandied about by successive governments will turn around and bite us one of these days.
In the 18th century, European travellers to England wrote home with amazement about the vast quantities of food the English shovelled down their gullets, especially meats and puddings. These travellers came from European countries where the downtrodden peasantry was permanently undernourished and only the aristocracy and merchant classes ate well.
I look around me at the people I see in town, and it is clear that many of us - women especially - eat enough food to keep three or more healthy normal people going. As the recession bites, and is followed by the collapse of the global economic system, we in Britain will suddenly have very much less food available at very much higher prices. It may be that we shall then become accustomed to eating healthy, moderate amounts. At the present rate of consumption, I cannot imagine how we could ever hope to be self-sufficient in food production, but in a post-globalist Britain, this might be possible.
Unfortunately our own North Sea oil fields are running dry, and we buy fuel on the global market at prices set by that market; it will not be many more years before fewer and fewer of us can afford to run our cars. This might be painful at first, but Britain can only benefit from fewer cars on the road, and a return to a slower, healthier lifestyle. Sometimes, our present, hectic consumerist lifestyle strikes me as obscene.
Gordon Brown should hang his miserable head in shame. You would think he can’t do anything worce then he already has - think again. The price of petrol is ridiculously high, illegally high as 8 out of every 10p goes to the treasury! and this warped government would have us believe that oil is expensive the world over - not like this it’s not. Now parasite Brown is saying that the price of oil will continue to rise for the next 3 year’s! How does he have the nerve to remain as pm of this country - he is unelected, everyone hate’s him, he’s wrecking the country and treating the people like something on the bottom of his shoe. Time to go ‘Bottler’ Brown NOW!
“The fallacy of relying on debt to drive economic growth throughout the industrialised world is
being exposed, as the US slides into recession, dragging the UK down too. Alistair Darling
claims the UK is well placed to withstand the turmoil of financial markets. In reality, the UK
played a leading role in creating the very leverage that is now unravelling so spectacularly.”

This is an interesting paper from a Labour think tank which delivers a devastating verdict on ZanuNulab’s appalling economic management. They rightly point to the appalling state of our external trading situation:
“Years of running large trade deficits also turned the UK into a large debtor with the rest of
the world. When New Labour came to power, the UK had net external debts of £33.8bn. A
decade later, that had risen nine fold to a record £318.9bn. In GDP terms, that was even
bigger than the US.”
But they have no sharp focus on how to address this; they obviously don’t understand and wouldn’t accept anyway that this debacle can only begin to be addressed by reindustrialisation on the basis of nationalism and selective protectionism and support for home production. While it is quite true that the roots of the problem lie in slash and burn capitalism what they have to say is fuzzy and has no definition:
“The source of the problem lies in the system of production aimed at the distribution of
profits to external shareholders – the current private owners of capital. The global crisis is
also the case for creating a new economic system that promotes co-ownership, cooperation
and self-management for enterprises under democratic control.”
They would also have to ditch their fondness for migrant labour as well of course.
