THE purpose of our publications, leaflets, activities, election campaigns and meetings is to encourage people to join our ranks. The British National Party needs as many new recruits as possible to help us in our campaigns to increase our votes at election time and gain further representation, at the moment at local council level, and in the future at Parliamentary level.
Whether we can attract these new people to our side depends to a certain extent on how they perceive the BNP, what they think of our image and whether they feel they would fit in amongst those who are already in our Party.
Of course, what we stand for is important and we know that a majority of the electorate do agree with many of our policies. Yet in spite of this, our votes compared to those of the three main parties are still small and this is because many people are uncomfortable with our image.
So what is image? Image is how the public sees us and in areas where British National Party campaigners haven’t been knocking on doors and meeting voters face to face, the public only sees us as the image portrayed by the media . . . and we all know what that is!
So a primary purpose of our literature and activities must be to educate the public as to what the BNP is really like and that we are nothing like the image that the media likes to portray of us.
These stereotypes must be undermined to redress the balance and to do this we must over-compensate with the opposite to what they imply. We have to take a leaf out of Labour and the Tories books by utilising positive discrimination to help redress the balance.
One favourite media smear is “the young burly skinheads of the BNP.” To demolish that one is easy–just make sure that as many of our candidates and representatives as possible are well dressed, middle-aged ladies or older gentlemen with plenty of hair.
We also need to accentuate the positive side of our policies. The media only ever refers to immigration, but nationalism is not just about immigration but a whole range of policies designed towards one end, and that is to make Britain and the British people as self-sufficient as possible and not relying on others for what we need to survive and prosper.
While stopping immigration, because of the media, has a negative image, self-sufficiency still has a very positive spin to it and that is something we must capitalise on. The same applies to bringing essential services back under state control. With the public this is popular and we are the only party that has the courage to stand up and say that privatisation in this sphere has been a disaster for Britain and needs to be changed.
Although the media is hostile to us we must still build bridges with them and push for them to correct their coverage of the BNP.
To do this we have to understand why much of the media is hostile to us, and to explain this you only have to read through the National Union of Journalists’ guidelines for reporting on the British National Party. Any journalist who is a member of the NUJ is NOT ALLOWED to report fairly and accurately on the BNP.
There are other considerations, such as whether it’s a local, regional or national newspaper. Who is the main provider of the advertising revenue it receives? And of course, what is the political persuasion of the owners of the newspaper? Then there’s the politics of the individual journalist concerned and his or her competence at their job which is more important than many people believe. Some of the so-called smears against the BNP are down to lazy and incompetent journalists who have just ‘cut and paste’ huge swathes of Searchlight lies because they are too lazy to find out the truth for themselves.
It is vital that those dealing directly with the media remain positive in the face of this adversity and keep channels open with their local newspaper however hostile they might be. Remember coverage in a local newspaper is beneficial at election time and with us we don’t need any favours or good publicity from them, we just need a truthful and accurate portrayal of the policies that we are standing for.
Our opponents are constantly looking out for our mistakes so we must make as few as possible. Own goals have been the bane of nationalist political parties over the past 40 years and we must try to make as few as possible. We must think outside of the box and look at things from our opponent’s perspective, searching for any weak spots that might be exploited and which could reflect badly on us.
We must also learn from the past and not repeat any mistakes that could return to haunt us.
And who has the responsibility of all this? It is you, the elite BNP officials attending this Summer School. It is a huge burden and it is on your shoulders. It is your shoulders because there is no one else. The BNP is on its own in the battle to save our country and the BNP is you.
This is a resume of a Public Relations talk to be given by Martin Wingfield on the second day of the British National Party’s Summer School which is to be held in Wales on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th of June.
Full details of the weekend can be found here.

Don’t forget, Common Purpose and EU intelligence teams (spies) are charged with seeing how well the EU’s plans are doing and reporting on the anti-EU activists. More here:

With regard to education, it is important to consider what our enemies are up to and to inform oneself of the bigger picture.
The first rule of war is to know ones enemy, thereby affording a better capabilty for planning and dealing with what is likely to occur and what measures can be taken to ward off or mount an attack.
Green Arrow, always good value, a first class, tireless research and delivery blogger has some good articles today - well worth taking the time to read -
http://isupporttheresistance.blogspot.com/
And for a daily scan of the news and whats happening in the country, UKT is by far the best portal on the net -
http://www.uktabloid.co.uk/Main%20News.html
Stay alert, stay informed and always be prepared to talk openly about your BNP and what is really going on beyond what the media says.
I am probably one of those people to whom this article was intended. About 4 years ago now I registered to be on the BNP e-mail list after having a read through the manifesto. Yes, I felt dirty doing so. To me immigration was the main issue at that time. I started to seriously surf the site a year ago and joined the party earlier on this year. Why ?
Far from being a skinhead thug, I am 39, in a job of responsibility, married, and have a clean police record and driving licence. I pay my taxes on time and the family tree goes back originally to French and Danish ancestry. So why the BNP for me?
Yes, immigration is still important. But I want my vote on EU membership. I want my interests to be put above those of new arrivals. I am sick of seeing my essential services being owned and mis-managed by foreign interests. I am sick of the police and judiciary being soft on people who want to kill me. I want to see an end to knifings. I want to see our armed forces given the protection and benefits that they deserve. I also want to see my green and pleasant land kept that way and not concreted over. I want to see an end to Tory sleaze and Labour spin, I want accountability and openness from those that I elect.
I am a grown-up and educated man and capable of making my own decisions. I know what the BNP once was and yes, I am conscious that some elements of that past may still exist within the party, but I see more problems in our traditional 3 main parties. I cannot, in all conscience, give them my vote as they now no longer represent me or the best interests of my country. Only the BNP’s manifesto promises to deliver on those things that I want to see happening.
How can we improve? One area that strikes me is that were are tarred as screaming racists but were the only party to actively fight for the Gurkhas to stay in this country. Our policy on self sufficiency and preserving the countryside puts the Greens to shame. Maybe a pronounced policy shift away from publicising immigration issues to those other areas will benefit us. Focus on what we are doing to make life in Barking & Dagenham & Stoke more enjoyable under the BNP will win support. We have less than two years to do this before the General Election.

Thanks, TTM. My story, AND my outlook, interestingly, are virtually identical to yours. It would be nice to hear the stories of other recent “joinees”-Ed
Here are the guidelines enforced by the National Union of Journalists in order to maintain the status quo, fawn to their political masters, and ultimately pervert the truth.
Stalin would have been so proud of them. Wicked people indeed.
http://www.presswise.org.uk/display_page.php?id=648
I agree with Tetleyteaman (and Ed) - I looked at the site about 2 years back now - my main concern was how would the ‘negative’ publicity affect my graphic design business, that was my main concern - now, it does not bother me as a lot of the stigma is gone - people are slowly waking up - too slow for my liking but it’s a start! We just need a vocal mouthpoiece to offset all the rubbish in the daily papers! Oh, for anyone ’spying’ on this - my ancestry goes back to Malta and the Middle East - chew on that!
M_P.
The NUJ directive looks like it’s straight out of the Common Purpose handbook on political correctness.
-
Because it is. - Ed
Ed - I remember suggesting ages ago that peoples’ biographies, exactly like tetleyteaman, could be listed under one of the rectangular link boxes over to the right - under the rubric ‘My story’ or ‘Our stories’ or ‘Why We Joined the BNP’ or ‘People Like You’ - so people pondering the BNP could see how and why people had decided to plump for it.
Mister j - your link has information on ‘Trojan mice’, i.e. like a Trojan horse, but more of them and less noticeable. The trojan mice website has a CV of someone called Peter Fryer, in Hull, who in passing explains part of the Common Purpose idea (which I take to mean getting anything into private ownership in an undemocratic way to suit people who want PFI, globalisation, and the rest):– an extract: ‘Taking the organisation {’Humberside Training and Enterprise Council’] from being a civil service office into a highly respected entrepreneurial business through adapting the structures, the culture, the pay and reward mechanisms, the activities and systems, and through developing its people.’
I’ve seen the sort of thing round here: departments which take years to build up are sold off without taking account of training, cost of interviewing, cost of building up equipment and trying to arrange efficient departmentalisation. It’s something like the opposite of the fabian society. I’m not saying there’s necessarily anything wrong with it - just as Common Purpose, or the EU, could be highly beneficial but somehow always manage not to be.
Point 6 of that NUJ site says ‘The NUJ believes the methods and lies of the racists should be publicly and vigorously exposed.’ They should therefore be open to reporting black violence truthfully. We’ll see. I have to say the NUJ thing doesn’t strike me as wicked so much as stupid and inaccurate. For example, the ‘guidelines’ on ‘travellers’ imply the views of others, i.e. non-’travellers’, are automatically given - a complete lie, of course; when have you ever seen an account of the stories about ‘pikies’ which circulate orally? Never. Another example is war crimes abroad; a subject I studied was US war crimes in Vietnam, Cambodia, etc, and these were never reported in the UK. The NUJ’s members are saturated with hypocrisy from top to bottom.

RW,
Re: your suggestion in your first paragraph; I am discussing just such a development with Webtech at the moment. - Ed.
I am 72 and well remember the early post war years.
This morning walking around Truro I was dismayed by the numbers of fit but inactive younger folk. Not just the retired or holiday makers, but those who could have been working, at school or in college.
In 1960, apart from the farmers in for the Wednesday market, few men capable of work would have been seen only women shopping and workmen going about their business.
Work was always low paid in the South West but we did manage, and often ran a little old car. These days with benefits paid to many and taxes being so high, few can now afford to work and lose the Council tax benefit’s amongst other social payments.
Truro has been identified as a growth point! Why? Do we ask for or need Immigrants doing the work we are unable to afford to do? Why are so many unemployed strangers around in the middle of a working day?
I submit that it is not for our benefit, its only to enable the Bolshevik’s dream of a coffee coloured subservient population.
Great Idea RW - I will go for that! I do not mind doing a little write up!
-
Webtech is extremely busy right now folks, but we will set up the facility soon as we can. -Ed
Hi all,
I, like tetleyteaman am also a graphic designer, I am 46 years old are married and have two 15 year old children (yes twins !!), I own my own house in a very respectable area in Brackley Northants, I joined the BNP about 3 months ago as I was sick of what is happening in Britain and all the lies and deception within politics, Political correctness,policing, EU policies etc..
I was so suprised at what I found within the BNP website, all the policies could have been written for me, I could not find fault or disagree with anything the BNP was saying - it REALLY was a breath of fresh air, it was also really good to see that the posts in the various forums were impeccably written in grammatically correct English! (so obviously written by properly educated people). I signed my whole family up to the BNP immediately - it was the best investment I will probably ever make.
Straight away I told many people, family and friends about the BNP and what I had discovered, I was dismayed at the look on peoples faces when I told them that I had joined up, so what I said to these people is to check out the web site for themselves and make up their own minds. It really is all about how the BNP is perceived by the general public and NOT the policies, if we can change the perceived image and beat the smear campaigns, get the media to report fairly we are in with a chance to become mainstream, I have no doubt of that.
I now buy the Daily Star as this paper does seem to be the fairest when reporting on BNP related issues.
-
Many thanks for the insight and feedback. - Ed
Sirs, I wholeheartedly concur with the direction and policy of the Party with regards to relations with the media, as indicated above in the Editor’s comments. No Party is going to get into power and enter #10 Downing St under the noses of the media without them noticing, and all efforts must therefore be made to engage with them at all levels in order to offset the current distorted views, especially those of a more left wing nature as they have vested interests at stake. The British National Party is making excellent progress in the polls, despite all efforts to the contrary by our enemies, and this new thinking by the hierarchy is to be greatly applauded as it seeks to tackle the greatest single obstacle to long term success. Well done everyone at HQ!
………………….
Even the BBC are catching on - albeit a bit late with their report. - Ed:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7433359.stm
The BNP is still suffering from the hangover of the image it had in the eighties when immigration wasn’t a major concern as today. Back then being a member of the party was seen as extreme. But times have changed. Now in the 21st century the party is attracting people from all walks of all life, dispelling any falsehood of the membership consisting primarily of aggressive skinheads. However, many elements of the media still try to smear the party with this unfriendly image when they want to hamper BNP progress, though admittedly some papers are now grudglingly portraying the party in a fairer light now it’s getting harder to dupe the public. In fact I was suprised to see a caption on the BBC web site yesterday that read ‘local heroes target Stoke’ (or something very similar) to this article http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7433359.stm.
Acutally I think a family oriented image works well for public relations purposes. Perhaps the BNP web team could reinsate the photo of the three young girls that appeared on the old format web site, or any photo of a family to complement the candiates at the top of the home page.
I think trying to win the intellectual arguments on the leading blogs is very important - I’ve noticed that influential journalists do pick up on these, they are like magpies understandably. No doubt they keep a close eye on what happens here.
I’ve tried to explore what a nationalist economic policy should look like on a Torygraph blog earlier(points 1-7: 6.44am). Much that happens in the world is determined by economics. “Enrichment” is predicated upon voodo liberal economics appropriately enough, but this is a Babylon which will fall - hopefully to rise no more.
Proximately the political system here will implode when the Scots reject a Cameron government outright under conditions of very considerable economic stress. So rotten is the politico-financial centre here that it is inevitable that the periphery will struggle to throw it off. This is precisely what happened in the late 1630s leading to the Revolution and overthrow of the old regime in the “Three Kingdoms” during the 1640s. This is a model for the collapse of the current “Ancien Regime” from which the chance to save the nation must and will come. I’d put money it, it will happen. The BNP will have a massive part to play, as will the armed forces.
I am new to the BNP.
First and foremost I would like to let you know how much I agree on every single policy you have on this website.
A government with policies like these would be a dream come true for Great Britain
You have my vote, now and forever.
The problem which I see in regards to advertisement, is that we dont see enough of it in Sheffield.
I live in the outskirts of Sheffield, about 8 miles out in the S25 area. I only seem to see labour advertisements and I would really like to see more from the BNP. When I tell friends and collegues to check out your website they dont seem to be bothered because they automatically think that BNP are racist. (obvously not the case)
I am not sure what finances are like in the BNP at present, but from now up untill the next election I believe that the best sort of advertisement is Television as well as more leaflets in my area as well as others.
I really do hope, too, that the BNP will one day be our governement and sort out this poorly run country.
If not, I will be seriously considering taking my life and family, and emigrating to Australia until matters have been resolve in UK.
Regards
……….
Regards to you, too, and thanks for your contribution here. Unfortunately, we have no peerages to bestow on donors so we have to run a tight fiscal ship. You’ll probably be seeing fewer billboards advertising NuLabour - they are £24million in the red and funding has dried up. It would appear they run their own finances in the same way they run the country. -Ed
I am retired, having spent my career in law enforcement here and overseas and would describe myself as a social democrat, as well as a nationalist. I joined the BNP a few months ago, having visited the site for about 2 years and finding myself in agreement with what I found there. One reason for joining was to do something to stop the corruption, cynicism and incompetence of the lib/lab/cons which has turned this country upside down and is leading us headlong into catastrophe. Another important consideration was my concern for our young people, who thanks to the establishment’s culpable failures face brainwashing and other unpleasant dangers we never thought about when we were growing up in a different, happier era.
The country desperately needs the BNP’s policies, particularly on crime, prison reform, immigration, the EU and the economy. We know they are immensely popular with the public in general and it is frustrating that so many still keep voting for the lib/lab/con rather than us. I think the explanation for this is that we are still not seen as a ‘respectable’ alternative to the Tories or LibDems, in the way that UKIP was when it attracted good support a few years back.
A few weeks ago I posted a comment that several people who have visited the BNP website on my recommendation told me that although they found themselves in tune with just about all the Party’s policies they felt uncomfortable about the restriction of membership to persons of indigenous British descent and I said that I thought this single issue might be what was preventing many people from regarding the BNP as a respectable alternative to the Tories or LibDems. In my view it is the one policy issue which potential supporters might well construe as racist.
In his footnote, Ed said that it was not correct that non-indigenous persons couldn’t join the BNP and that they could in fact become Associate Members. However, this is not the impression given in our flagship articles ‘The Truth about the BNP’ and ‘Is the BNP racist?’ (and on membership applications, I think) – the situation needs rapid clarification.
I believe very strongly that the BNP is not racist - our core beliefs are concerned with upholding and preserving the rights, traditions and culture of indigenous Britons – which is not racist. But I think we need to clarify our position on membership – maybe we need a mature debate on the subject to determine whether this and other issues might be keeping people from committing to our cause. I think changes which make us more acceptable to the electorate can be made without diminishing our core beliefs and if we are really serious about getting into mainstream politics and actually having an influence on how the country is run we must identify and deal with these issues.
Given the pathetic offerings and performance of the lib/lab/cons, support for the common-sense alternatives of the BNP should be overwhelming and we should really be in power already. We need to make this happen – fast.
At 5pm the BBC website has a leading item about a pig’s head being nailed to a former Methodist chapel in Cornwall. The chapel is now owned by a Muslim who plans to convert it, he says, into a multi-faith Building. The words ‘Go home’ have been painted on the walls of the building. I do not condone this behaviour.
What concerns me is: a) the publicity the BBC have accorded this racist incident (for it is so described) and b) the actions of the police in treating two very similar incidents (Plymouth mosque with its own graffiti advising the good people of Plymouth to leave now!) so very, very differently.
The more the-‘one set of rules for the, another set for the rest of us”-prevails, then the more the cowardice of both the police and politicians will be exposed and more ordinary people will come to realize what gullible fools they have been, and look around for a party they can trust to look after their interests
I’m a new guy as well, 2 weeks now, signed up for membership and I’ve been telling everyone and anyone about the Party but everyone looks at me like I’m nuts - my main problem may be the fact I look like what the media stereotype, young (28) and a skinhead, not a lifestyle choice more to do with the fact there not many hair styles out there for balding men :(
A few of them have looked at this website and are slowly coming round, but it will take something more then a few newspaper reports to wake alot of people up.
……….
Welcome aboard, lord dave, - just keep plugging away with the message. Hopefully you will get involved at local level.
ps: I know the feeling about the limited haircuts for those of us who are -er - challenged in the cranial hirsuteness department! -Ed
Great article! The BNP has massive potential, which is only held back by its past image.
But media exposure (like Politics Show last week) shows people that BNP candidates are regular people with genuine concerns. BNP has great candidates and great policies which people really want!
BNP just needs to show people they have lots of great people and policies to offer. And, unlike other parties, BNP speak to voters and know what they want.
If BNP can show that it is positive on issues that count and has normal, everyday people as voters, members and candidates - the votes will flood in!
……..
That’s the theory, anyway. But we now have to put up with cardboard ballot-boxes with paper seals wherever the BNP stands a candidate - funny, that! - Ed
Hi mat28sheff, welcome to Sheffield BNP. I am sure we will be meeting you soon.
I Have been active with our branch for over a year now and have been made very welcome.
However, I am still not a paid up member. My problem is that my step-family have mixed race amongst them and I am struggling to convince them that when the BNP get to power,they wont be sent back to the local hospital where they came from.
This is a worry that I know is shared by others who have relatives and friends of different race and I am sure it is putting them off commiting to the BNP.
Are there any others amongst our bloggers in the same situation?.
……..
The BNP isn’t interested in the racial make-up of your step family. Things move on. Our main concern is the giving away of our democracy to unelected foreigners and for our culture and traditions to be given the same respect that others now get in this country to the detriment of our own people. -Ed
Kentish Man is spot on with his post.
Whilst the party only allows indigenous Britons into membership, it will always be perceived as ‘racist’, by the public.
There have been long discussions on the members forum about it, too.
I don’t know what the answer is, only that we must do whatever it takes to get away from the racist label.
-
Its not a dilemma, WP, its a straightforward matter of the preservation of our race and nation. If I was allowed to join what is essentially Black preservation group, of which there are many, and publicly funded, I would not expect enrolment as a Black person but rather as an affiliate member with an interest in preserving Black people so that I can live among them according to their culture. If I joined a nationalist political group in, Chad, say, I would similarly expect an affiliate membership, since I would want to live according to the Chadian culture, but could not expect to be regarded as a native of Chad
The bottom line is that the BNP is the only political organisation for indigenous Britons in our own homeland, and if we allow non-indigenous membership the reds and anti-white ethnic groups would be in like a rat up a drainpipe. We have nothing against settled, culturally assimilated non-indigenous people living in Britain, and those that are do understand that, and the fact both we and them have a mutual interest in Supporting the BNP. - Ed
I was going to write a comment about why I support the BNP but it was turning into a life story!
What would be nice is the facility to actually meet people of a similar ilk who live local to myself, (Farnborough, Hampshire). looking at all the names of people who submit comments on here doesn’t really give me an idea of where they live etc so the idea of an area for ones bio would be great. Keep up the good work.
BNP not racist not facist not left not right just say it as it is //WE say to this the lib/lab/con crew of yesterday and today= It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonoured by your
contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and
enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell
your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter’d your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil’d this sacred place, and turn’d the Lord’s temple into a den
of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress’d, are yourselves gone!
So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!”
I joined the BNP about two years ago after much soul searching and many sleepless nights. In my younger days I was very liberal and was acively involved in anti racist politics, remember the Anti Nazi League? However during the last five years it has become slowly apparent to me that our country is in real danger, that we will soon lose our national identity, culture and heritage unless drastic action is taken.My awakening is a long story so I’ll save it for another day!
I began to feel increasingly angry and frustrated with being treated like a second class citizen in my own country as well as having political correctness and multiculturalism shoved down my throat without my consent.I did not blame immigrants for this but the traitorous politicians and the media scum who promote this vile nation wrecking ideology.
By the way lordhelpuz my nephew is mixed race and I have just ended,unfortunately,my realtionship with my Mauritian girlfriend. I am not interested in peoples ethnicity or race, if you prefer, we are what we are.I know there are still some idiots in the BNP who cling on to ideas that will cost us electorally and do our cause great damage unless we either get them to move on in terms of their thinking or get them out of the party.
I am really happy now that I have joined the party and I would encourage anyone who has any doubts to apply for membership and get involved. We are not haters or racists just people who want to preserve our culture and traditions and not be ruled by the E.U.
I do feel however that the party needs to be more pro active in reassuring the public that we are not about to repatriate all and sundry and I believe that we need a serious rethink regarding our membership. To limit it as we do I think leaves us open to variuos accusations. If we are serious about government then we must be seen as a party that will represent all the people of this country.Our membership stance I think contradicts this.
This is a good report but I dont think much of the mention of elderley men needing a full head of hair !! I have a good head of hair but I would not think much of this comment if I had not.The BNP also must not join the world of spin in order to tell the public what they want to hear instead of the stark truth.Most of this country’s ills emanate from Europe and therefore the BNP should be attacking this subject with a certain amount of gusto, otherwise we will be known as a one policy party and no one needs me to say what that is.
I didn’t realize there was an issue of who could join the BNP.
I understood it to be open to people born in this country that accepted the values of Britain, and valued protecting it from people that seek to destroy it.
I also understood it to be open to people who emigrated here from a similar culture to ours, ie America, Australia, New Zealand etc, that had something to offer our country, and it’s culture.
I also understand there has to be limitations, because this is a party for the indigenous population of which the vast majority are white.
After all this is Britain!
Not accepting certain people doesn’t mean we mean any harm to them , it means we want to protect our identity, but certainly not at the expense of people who accept our culture and wish to enjoy it. But definitely at the expense of those who do not accept our culture and wish to destroy it.
For example I have no problems with Jews, Hindus etc, but I don’t want the party dominated by them, not because I am bigoted but because the party would become a semi religious party.
It is a matter of having a workable balance that reflects British culture which is I guess Christian ( I am aethiest ) and white, because of the part of the planet we happen to inhabit.
It is a long hard road but all BNP supporters should:-
1. Make comments on the articles on the website.
2. Talk to friends.
3. Write to Newspapers.
4. Complain to the BBC.
5. Attend meetings if possible.
6. Join the party.
7. Think up good publicity.
8. Think up more GOOD IDEAS.
And that is for starters.
the bbc’s remit states it should report impartially.the bbc then states it will give the bnp no platform .surely their could be legal action . i’d just like to see the report “THE EVIL BNP TAKE POOR BBC TO COURT FOR NOT DOING WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO ”
the nuj rule just shows the contempt the intelligentsia has for the population. they should report the facts and let people decide .
It’s quite simple.
A massive mail shot of flyers to every houshold in this land.
Does anyone out there have a spare £300,000 they wish to donate ? :)

We have several initiatives in the pipe which will far exceed anything we’ve done to date.
Don’t ask. We’ll let you all know when we have things in hand. - Ed
I am a relatively new political convert to the BNP but I realise the urgent need to spread the word. It’s really very easy:
USE EVERY OPPORTUNITY, NO MATTER HOW SUBTLE (OR DIRECT) YOU NEED TO BE, TO SPREAD THE WORD.
You will know who will listen to the message and who will be susceptible - so use every chance you get to sow the seeds in people’s minds.
In my experience, even the “young”, who have been completely culturally brain-washed into hating the BNP, can be brought round to understanding that the crucial importance of the BNP with a little patience and persuasion.
SPREAD THE MESSAGE - CONSTANTLY AND DETERMINEDLY - AND LET’S WIN OUR COUNTRY BACK!
BBC USES POLES AS SCAPEGOAT FOR ALL IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS
Daniel Kawczynski said the BBC “liberal elite” was using “white Christian” Poles as a proxy to avoid covering “more controversial” immigrants…
He told MPs “nine out ten” immigrants were from Africa, the West Indies and the Indian sub-continent but the BBC “constantly referred to immigration from Poland”. They won’t dare refer to controversial immigration from other countries, always referring repeatedly to Polish immigration
“They are using the Polish community as a cat’s paw to try to tackle the thorny issue of mass, unchecked immigration into our country. They realise that immigration needs to be discussed, as it has become uncontrolled under the Labour government, yet they won’t dare refer to controversial immigration from other countries, always referring repeatedly to Polish immigration.”
Having studied the BBC’s output, he said MPs would be “amazed at the amount of coverage that the BBC focuses on white, Christian Poles because it’s politically correct to do so”.

to tetleyteaman: I agree with everything you say. I am nearly 60 years old, I am sick and tired of Labour and Tories plus useless Liberals. I thought the last Tory government were bad enough, this corrupt lot are even worse.
What did my dad fight for in the last war?
I think it would be nice if photographs of BNP councillors, members and supporters (bald patches, warts ‘n’ all) were displayed at the top of the page alongside the current pictures (some of whose names I do not know, I’m afraid). Surely, this would reassure the general public that we are not the bogeymen (and women) we are made out be. As Stoke’s former Labour leader said, they can no longer demonise the BNP as we wear suits (to hide our cloven hoofs and tails). Once they realise that, really, we’re just ordinary British people, the tables will be turned and the media will be unmasked as the nasty demonisers, just as Mr Kawczynski did in his anti-BBC blast on behalf of Poles.

We can’t allow photos of those submitting comments for a variety of reasons. However your suggestion of publishing photos of councillors is sound and will be considered. We might be able to have photos on the proposed “Why I joined/support the BNP” section though, providing we can be certain its who its purported to be. Thanks, Sheriff. - Ed
@Artorius: I read that somewhat sinister BBC article. There is probably a very good reason why the Poles have been targeted by the BBC - white, Christian and definitely not to be trusted to fall for the Common Purpose lie machine at he BBC.
I’ve said it before; for all the bad press the Poles get, they could well be a ’slight helping hand’ in the BNP saving this Country. They are probably more likely to vote BNP than any other immigrant group, which is why the BBC have singled them out for ’special treatment’.
I like the Poles, always have, always will. They are like us Brits except for one minor, irritating bugbear - they don’t like using vowels.
I talk to people at work and socially. You do not need to get on a soap box, just point out that there is a political party out there that thinks just like you. Simple, uncomplicated commonsense policies. I am of Catholic Irish stock, second generation and I feel perfectly at home with the BNP because they have the same ambitions for the country and my family that I have.
I would though like to see us getting a “main stream” politician who is dissatisfied with the lies and spin of his/her own party to move across to the BNP. Also we need to concentrate more on getting across the severe penalties that criminals would get with a BNP government in power. Case in point today, at work at lunch the conversation turned to crime, and the basic despair that nothing will change, when I pointed out the measured policies of the BNP people realised that we are not just a one issue party.
Tomorrow I hope to get them to talk about the cost of food etc. then I can introduce our agricultural policies. The result from today though was a pledge to vote BNP.

Nice going. - Ed.
There is a lot of soul searching on the question of race and how we may deal it, there are sensible papers written on it, part of one Gause’s principle of “COMPETITIVE EXCLUSION” states that two entities cannot live in direct COMPETITION with each other if they require the same property or business because one will gain the upper hand. An example is the relentless increase in economic power and acquisition of property through the “RELIGIO-COLLECTIVIST” social structure which is based on EXCLUSION and EXPLOITATION of non-members of their group while favouring their own. This is a problem we have due to immigration without end, is rascism merely genetic preference?
The BNP should also be seen to be listening, not just talking.
For example, the BNP needs to listen to parents and teachers (individual teachers not their Marxist unions) about the dreadful state of education and what is to be done.
Just like the target-driven police http://www.bnp.org.uk/2008/06/melatonism-and-target-culture/ , the target-driven school system has descended into anarcho-tyranny, where the most disruptive elements - both child and adult - get away unpunished and indeed rewarded for aggressive behaviour, whereas the law-abiding have their lives ruined by petty restrictions and penalties, and stressed out by chasing after ever-receding targets.
The breakdown of discipline among schoolchildren is too well known to need further comment. The remedies are of a low-tech, low-cost traditional nature familiar to anyone brought up in the 1950’s. In addition, any parent coming into school to cause disruption should be punished with exemplary severity.
But there are two other adult types of wreckers - the LibLabControl-freak politicians who want to micro-manage education to the extent that teachers are deprived of the ability to exercise professional judgement, and are turned into little more than robotic teaching machines; and the worst type of wrecker of the lot - the Ofsted inspectors.
The Ofsted inspectorate seems to be composed of PC petty-tyrants who are mostly failed teachers. They are notorious for the arbitrary, illogical and contradictory nature of their criticisms, and some have reputations which go before them to produce fear and trepidation in the next unfortunate school that lies in their path.
In contravention of natural justice a teacher has no right of reply to an Ofsted criticism. Ofsted attracts the worst type of Stalinist apparatchiks, nit-pickers and political correctors.
There’s a disturbing article here, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/melanie_reid/article3648821.ece
and anyone interested in this topic should click on the ‘check all 42 comments’ for teachers’ experiences .
Well said, Artorius. There is a thread in a forum here on prostitution, and someone said, well, ask people what they think, on this rather depressing topic. I was impressed at this appeal to democracy.
By the way did you notice the news item on Imperial College, which intends to introduce its own entrance exam, as everyone who applies now has 4 or 5 grade As at A Level, which therefore have no discriminating value.

‘We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination [read as 'democracy'] practiced in past centuries.”

Is it my Imagination or are there subtle but significant changes going on in Media reporting, not just of the BNP but on the Globalist agenda.
The Telegraph even mentioned the Z word today and on local radio there was a very Pro British programme on, the word British used positively a number of times.

Don’t fall for the good cop, bad cop routine - they know exactly how to report what they are reporting. Smoke and mirrors - ie: an illusion that democracy, a free press and free speech still exist, when they clearly do not.

@ RW
Every child should be awarded 9 GCSE’s , 6 ‘A’ levels and one ASBO at birth so we can save a fortune by closing down all the schools and the probation service.
As a 67 year old retired ex-trawlerman, I am the first to admit that I am, indeed getting just a bit thin in the hair department, but that’s as close to being a “loutish skinhead”as I’m ever likely to be. Also,I am most definitely against violence of any kind, especially against those who are unable to defend themselves. Surely, the word racist is pejorative, and is deliberately used by the media and police etc., in an attempt to make people feel guilty in mentioning the dreaded immigration word. I admit that this was the main concern I had when I started taking an interest in what the BNP were saying and also thought that the old National Front image would take a bit of shaking off, but the party’s views on other important issues convinced me that they were talking sense.
I have always believed that rich countries should offer help to the smaller ones in any way possible. What I, and any thinking person are concerned about is this suicidal mass immigration policy, with all concern being for aliens, and very little for the indigenous population. That is NOT racism, but a common sense observation. Are we to be called derogatory names just because we worry about our children’s future in their own country? The old image is now well and truly dispelled now, in no small way thanks to the sensible views of contributors to these pages. Also,the dress sense of all the party leaders could set a trend back to some sort of sartorial elegance long missing from British males. Good luck to all our candidates in the future.
PS,I too saw the report of the “leave now” graffiti on the door of the former Methodist chapel in Cornwall,and needless to say,it got jumped upon gleefully by the media.The local police were quick to describe the perpetrators as “mindless bigots”whilst they made no such observations against the far worse torrent of racial and religious abuse aimed at the white population of Plymouth. Obviously,the pigs head was in bad taste,but the way the media and police are going on about it,one would think it was the crime of the century.
Lots of interesting posts on this thread, some of them (on membership criteria) rather contentious. Probably because I was brought up a colonial Brit abroad (we had an Empire once), my family was always more consciously proud of being British, and consciously aware of our British heritage and of our glorious British history, than I was to find was (is) the case in Britain itself. I grew up intensely patriotic, and primed to be ready to defend my ancestral homeland from all threats and dangers.
It took me a long time before I finally joined the BNP (about 4 years after returning to live in Britain for good). I have found a home in the BNP, and a tribe, such as I have n’t been able to identify with for many decades(ever since my own colonial birthright was stolen from my people and I had no choice but to centre all my patriotic love fairly and squarely on Britain herself.
If I was to be compelled to share membership of the BNP with anyone who chose to regard himself as “British” merely because he lived in Britain, or was born here (I think of the old saw; just because you’re born in a stable, does n’t make you a horse), I would have to share membership with some of the very people I regard as a threat to our British civilisation and way of life. Within no time, the BNP would be taken over by multiculturalists and reds (as ED has said in answer to a previous post), and we true Brits would be politically HOMELESS.
They’ve already robbed me of my birth-country; they’ve robbed me of my birthright; they’re trying to rob me of my ancestral Homeland; I shall not permit them to rob me of my new political and cultural home, the BNP, where my Tribe gathers to work together in defence of our shared Homeland.
Britain is for those of British descent; the BNP is for those of British or European descent (or those whose families have lived here so long, that they are in essence British themselves).
A number of contributors to this item have commented unfavourably on the Party’s restriction of full membership to white Britons only, and have suggested that the policy needs to be revisited in order to remove a public perception that we are “racist”.
In his reply to Welsh Patriot, Ed has dealt fully with any suggestion that we should admit non-indigenous people to our ranks; to which I would only add that to my mind the protection of our genetic, i.e. racial, identity is absolutely crucial even though we don’t make much of a fuss about it these days!
That stance may not be too popular “out there” in these decadent times (in stark contrast to 30 or 40 years ago) but we must take that on the chin and try to lead public opinion, not follow it. As for the word “racist” we should not use it at all, either to confirm it or to deny it, - it is a word invented by our country’s enemies to de-legitimise decent patriotic instincts, and when we use we find ourselves at the grave disadvantage of fighting on ground chosen by them.
Reluctant as I am to mention the word ‘image’ I nevertheless urge that all candidates dress neatly and conservatively, speak clearly in plain, forthright language and emphasise their pride in Britain’s heritage with a commitment to preserve the best and discard the rest. The days of barnstorming ‘progressives’ who promise the earth but deliver only dust are well and truly at an end - it’s just that the majority of Britons don’t seem to realise that yet.

EPL, we heartily agree with you! We would ask anyone who is delivering leaflets, manning stalls, or running the campaign trail in any fashion, to take a close look at how they present themselves. Putting on a shirt and tie does not require a vast effort from the men. And women, you all need to be neat and tidy. A dash of lippy and a nice, friendly smile can work wonders– and yes, I speak from experience :^) -Ed
“8. Think up more GOOD IDEAS.”
Here’s what I think is a good idea, ian. The head of the Army has today pointed to the disgraceful pay and conditions under which his soldiers serve - he says that soldiers are paid less than traffic wardens(BBC news).
The nationalist movement will most certainly need the armed forces on its side. Now the voluntary repatriation programme and the summary deportation of illegals and criminals will free up a lot of housing stock. Likewise we did not did not get into our unhappy current position, “enriched” by mass immigration and with the economy just about wrecked, without a great deal of treason - from the Marxist liberal left, lib-lab-con politicos and financial speculators very largely. Treason must be rooted out, and expropriation of the property of traitors is a commonplace in such situations.
I would suggest therefore that such confiscated property is made available, in part, for distribution to our armed forces. As things stand other ranks have precious little prospect of finding a decent home after their service is complete, and a disturbingly high proportion of the homeless have been found to be ex-servicemen. A proposal along these lines would surely bind armed forces personnel to the national cause, combining as it does patriotism and the prospect of just reward.
History teaches; and the inspiration for this idea comes from the practice of the Roman Republic, the good old laws of England(and later Britain) and the 17th Century English Revolution. It is surely worth consideration.
Following my earlier post, I’d like to make it clear that I understand and support our policy on membership and that my intention was simply to pass on comments made to me after friends and relatives visited this website. If others have encountered a similar reaction then maybe this is a problem which needs looking into. Ed said that non-indigenous Brits had the option of joining as Associate Members – but this isn’t made clear in the website and if it were sorted out it might go some way to answering any concerns people might have about this policy.
Of course we stand by our core beliefs and voters can accept or reject our principled stance. We currently have the momentum and the diabolical political and economic situation will drive increasing numbers into our camp. There are encouraging signs that the media, although still largely hostile, is gradually coming round to our point of view. We may do very well in the European elections held under proportional representation. Perhaps we will attract the support we need without need for further reform but is there anything else we can do to make this more of a certainty?
I think we must take a hard look at why we haven’t yet attracted support in the sort of numbers needed to enter the mainstream and identify and deal with anything which may be turning people off supporting us – without compromising our core beliefs and principles. Above all else, our overriding aim must be to attract enough votes to propel the Party into mainstream politics. Some issues may be contentious but I have always found that ‘debates’ conducted on this website have been restrained, mature and useful.
We always utterly refute media allegations that the BNP is extreme, far right, fascist and racist. If there are any more practical ways of reinforcing this message to the general public we should look into them.
Kentish Man, I am in agreement with you, once more.
I, too, am not at all against the indigenous Britons only membership of the party. But, by openly discussing the subject on this site, for any individual to read, should show to the world how open and honest the party is.
I wholeheartedly agree with Ed, and the other contributors who have staunchly supported the party policy on membership, and anyone reading these posts should be able to see that the party is patriotic, and NOT racist!
There are some more interesting posts on the subject of the Party’s membership policy under a later news article ‘A European Peoples Movement’.
The problem is that although we regular visitors to the website understand and accept the policy the public at large probably don’t. Most people have friends and relatives not of indigenous British descent and the fact that these friends and relatives are excluded from full membership may be putting them off supporting and voting for us. In my view this is the one issue over which we are vulnerable to criticism and it could be costing us dear. I am totally fed up and frustrated with us being a minority party, we have excellent policies and the drive to put them into effect but if we don’t attract the broad support needed to get us into the mainstream we’ll never be in a position to do anything. We must face the fact that if we really want power some compromise may be necessary.
Maybe there is a case for extending the criteria for membership so that the BNP becomes a truly Nationalist Party open to all Britons, both indigenous and non-indigenous, who support our policies and our culture, traditions and way of life. Some comments have warned against infiltration by reds and ethnic minorities if that happens but I think this is an unlikely scenario. Reds, if they are indigenous Brits, can (and probably do) join up simply to cause mischief and making this change won’t present any danger that isn’t there already. Nor do I think it likely that the Party would be overwhelmed by non-indigenous applications – if something like this did happen in an attempt to destabilise the Party the policy could be reversed.
Two things spring to mind. We urgently need to do some research to see if this is a problem costing us support (and whilst we are at it we might look into any other issues which may be putting people off). Secondly we must do whatever is necessary (whilst respecting our core beliefs, as I have already stressed) to make us electable and win the level of support needed to achieve real power. This must clearly be our overriding objective.
Just a comment about making the BNP more electable.Please do not fall into the trap of trying to spin and to seem what we are not.A great deal of the appeal of the BNP is that they don`t play by the rules of politics in Britain.They are different in ways other parties are not and can never be.The most important factor is that they are not PC.The day they do become so(in todays terms as we understand them) they will loose their appeal and their purpose.So please BNP remain distinctive and true to yourselves and your values.If you do not then this country will be lost for sure.The only exception I would make as regards change of policy would be in the area of economics.How could it be possible for a small island like Britain to be come self sufficent?In nearly every respect this is an impossible dream.Moreover,the idea that we can return to some kind of nationlisation circa 1950 is just plain daft.Britain history has shown that she has always made her way by trade with the world,indeed she built up a great Empire lagrly as a result of her trading needs.To withdraw into ourselves and try to emulate a sort of 1975 East German economic model would bring this nation to economic ruin.How would the BNP cope with the very dramatic falls in present day living standards to achieve this?
Dear Ed, thanks for your reply to my earlier posting.
I hope you don’t think this was underhanded but I have been waiting for the right article to come along to get this debate going.
Both myself and my second wife are of British stock, the mixed races of my step family coming through adoption.
I think if you check my past input to this blog site, you may realise I am a nationalist through and through - have been for 30 years.
What I intended(and think achieved), was to get a response from fellow members and supporters, to be able to show my family and others that they have nothing to fear of the BNP.
However,there are alot of people out there who do want to support us but as kentishman and others have pointed out have friends and family of different races and I am afraid it is holding them back from comitment.
As for me,I will be carrying on giving my full support to the BNP.
ps: Truth Truck is a great idea - pity we cant get a big fleet of them.
Best regards to you all.
Last night I made the commitment I have been working up to for a couple of years and clicked on the Membership button and paid my first year’s dues. I had always thought of myself as distinctly left wing and even carried a CPGB card as a teenager. You have no idea, psychologically, how difficult it was to go through with becoming a member. I suppose I am now one of those most reviled of creatures (amongst communists, anyway) a renegade communist, lol!
I am a lino fitter by trade and live in the Sutton area in Surrey. I don’t know how useful I will be because after more than forty years fitting floors my knees are not at all good so tramping the streets leafletting would be really difficult for me.
When I left school I spent a year in the print as an improver machine minder. Then four years in advertising. Getting into the flooring game was supposed to be a temporary stopgap until I found work in my own sphere again, lol!I have dabbled, purely as an amateur, with computers since Sinclair brought out the old ZX81 and these days I have quite a good setup including colour laser, scanner and inkjet and I am able to use DTP software. So some of that might be useful.
By way of adding my two penn’orth to parts of the discussion on this thread, I would be inclined to think that, for the public, we need to keep it as simple as possible above all and keep hammering on at every opportunity that we do NOT hate anybody, but that we DO love the UK and we love it the way it is, or rather the way it used to be.
I kludged together a design which I was thinking of printing on to sticky labels, 8 to an A4 sheet, so that they could be easily placed wherever appropriate. The background is the mighty oak of old England. The symbols carved upon its trunk are the time-honoured tokens of passionate lovers, a heart with Cupid’s arrow and the phrase “BNP Luvs UK”. At the foot of the oak is the phrase “Hearts of Oak”, in an old fashioned type script, evoking the immortal phrases of the Royal Navy’s official marching song. In the upper foliage is the address of the BNP website. Bringing the readers’ attention to the website is, of course what really matters. The design says very little but conveys a wealth of meaning, or at least I hope it does.
I’ll send an email in with a copy of it as an attachment and it can be used, or not used, as seems appropriate.

We look forward to studying this article. Kind regards. - Ed.
Hi Renegade
Judging from many of the comments on the website from new members and from my own personal experience, I think many of us also agonised long and hard before taking the plunge and joining up. I think this says a lot about the quality and depth of each individuals’s commitment to this wonderful party.
You won’t regret it. The enlightened discussion and friendly riposte on the pages of this website is of a kind which simply doesn’t exist elswhere.
Welcome to the BNP!
