Righteous anger & political action:
The British National Party believes in telling the truth, even if it
is sometimes uncomfortable to hear or offensive to those who would
rather bury their heads in the sand than face real problems in our
society.
But while we often pass quite critical comment on the impact of
immigration, multi-culturalism and alien religions on the indigenous
people of our lands, we have no animosity towards immigrants, their
descendants or the followers of non-native religions.
Nor do we intend to encourage others to feel such animosity, or believe that anything we have to say is likely to 'stir up hatred' against anyone.
In fact, we believe that by providing a peaceful and Constitutional outlet for the anger and the frustration felt by millions of our people over the undemocratic transformation of our country by our political masters, the BNP actually defuses tensions.
Where there is 'hate' we seek to turn it into righteous anger and political action against the only people who deserve to be hated - the politicians who use our taxes to turn our country into a place where we often feel like strangers in our own land.

+3.6% - the largest percentage increase of any of the parties.
And Henley is a well-heeled and comfortable area that has yet to see the real impact of economic decay and “enrichment”.
We are seeing the first trickles of new reality forcing their way through the crumbling face of the political Moehne Dam. Looking forward to the torrent to come as the whole rotten edifice collapses under the weight of BNP common sense.

Shame we didn’t eat into the Tory vote, but I am chuckling nicely nonetheless, even though I know the BNP result will be unmentioned by the state organ.
Yes I’m sure Gordon be upset, but frankly I’m a little upset that we were beaten into fourth place by the Greens.
I know there is a long way to go before we are recognised as anything more than an irritant to the big three, but it is heartbreaking that for all our effort we keep getting reminded of the fact.
Is this a reality check!

The aim was to make a mark in a previously-uncontested area. The objective was to give Labour a bloody nose–and we did that. It was one heck of an achievement, considering that we had never contested this seat before. We should say “Thanks” to every one of those voters that supported us, and to the hard-working folks that worked so hard towards this end -Ed

Well done.
Given that the electorate wanted to give Labour a really bloody nose by voting Conservative, just to make sure, its remarkable that the BNP beat Labour. The BNP must have taken over half of Labour’s vote in Henley. I suppose that with the BNP making such great headway we can expect the 42 day detentions to be rolled out before the next election. Not for Islamic terrorists but for the good people of the BNP.
Mark my words. Labour activists and Mugabe are all Marxists and utilise the same methods of intimidation and debasement of the democratic process.

Not a bad result at all. Clearly the Cons were the main recipients of the protest vote as they are well-established already and seen as an alternative to NuLab. The BNP needs to put to Tory voters WHY they see Cameron as an alternative to Blair/Brown: some of them do actually think! It’s a pity that UKIP was there, as they took votes from the pro-British party.
In the meantime, some of you may wish to read an interview with Nick Griffin in 2004 which you will also find there on the 21 June posting, and other recent BNP events, e.g., Richard Barnbook as knight in shining armour shaking hands with black man, the launch of the London manifesto, and the meeting in Bethnal Green with Richard Barnbrook and Nick Griffin.
Remember, Voice of Reason is the ONLY objective reporting of BNP events you will find, by a non-white British national known for her independence and objectivity. I am NOT a member of the totalitarian National Union of Journalists, whose rules specifically forbid objective reporting and are ripe for an application for judicial review. You may also wish to visit

-11.6 change for Labour is a bit misleading. True, they went from 14.7% last time to 3.1% this time - it’s an enormous crash, their votes dropping to 1 in 5 of what they were.
To be honest I’m disappointed; the policies of the BNP considered in isolation must appeal to many in England. The reasons for not voting must be the overall image - after all it is a relatively tiny party, and also relatively new. Even so, in view of the fact that the seat was so safe for the Tories with their vast majority, a bit of message-giving from the voters would be easier here than almost anywhere else.
And although Cameron must be pleased, the result isn’t very good for them; they only got 1/4-ish of the ex-NuLab vote, and the BNP seem to have got more ex-NuLab votes than they did.
No surprise then there’s a Tory win here, but, in this time of great change, the masses of voters doing what they always have still hold the upper hand. What the BNP needs is size - I wish some donor would chip in.

I think the BNP needs to make the next step and try to get into second and then take on the Fascist party. I mean Conservative, and one more thing, who votes for Lib Dems, one of the worse parties ever. I’ve never even considered voting for them from when I was eligible to vote

Don’t see why when the BNP have the best policies on Green issues (stop immigration!). When the Greens feel the push, they’ll all be rushing to vote BNP.
Brown may as well resign, ’cause he’s absolute cack; Labour is on it’s way out…the BNP are closing in fast.

I would like to say congratulations to Tim on a job well done …….. but … and this is a big but ……. I cannot believe that the British Public are so stupid and politically retarded………
How the hell is anoyone going to get the message and note of our dissapointments when we allow such stupid parties to stand, I know it’s a free country and anyone is allowed to do this but for christs sake look at the stats………
12 Parties Standing ;-
Conservatives - 56.7%
Liberal democrats - 27.7%
Green Party - 3.8%
BNP - 3.6%
Liebour - 3.1%
UKIP - 2.4%
Monster Raving Sh*t Party - 0.7%
English Democrat - 0.4%
Independant - 0.4%
Common Good - 0.3%
Independant - 0.3%
Fur Play Party - 0.2%
Now we all know that some of these do this just because they are “BORED”, they have no chance of getting good amounts of votes and are just a waste of time, energy and even worse, the paper they use to leaflet.
A political party should not be based on limited emotional things such as the Green Party and Fur Play Party, nor should they be allowed to stand if they have such stupid names as the “Monster Raving Loony Party” …. these are the exact people that have spoilt politics and why the British public can no longer be bothered voting.
Tim done a good job, but we can not congratulate ourselves for coming behind the Green Party, Labour were going to lose big time no matter what, if just lib/lab/con ran they would have been last, the fact is our votes were stollen by these idiot parties and independants, this country is going to the dogs and we, well I say we meaning the British public still vote for the lying b*st*ds like the Toies and Libdems.
We never learn and we will be overrun by foreigners, become a 3rd world country and be the lowest of the low in our own society before anyone sits up, takes theor face away from reality TV, crap celeb mags, alcohol, drugs or “I need my foriegn holidays” self centered routines and takes notice tha tour country needs us now………………….

Congratulations BNP.
Some of you may be disappointed by being behind the greens, but note that BNP + UKIP makes up far more than the greens. You may not get along with UKIP but their voters share a lot of the same goals, as do some tory voters who think they vote “useful”.
The danger for the BNP is what Sarkozy did to the FN in my country. Talk like the nationalists and once in power act as a complete traitor. I personally was not fooled at any point but a lot of people were.
Cameron is probably thinking of pulling the same trick.
The BNP spokesmen have to pre-empt this, again and again and again. You should mention Sarkozy, with examples!
He said he’d oppose Turkey’s admission to the EU, he didn’t. In fact, under his presidency we lost the referendum that should precede any EU enlargement (personally I always knew it was a trick by Chirac to get “Oui” at the Euro referendum, I knew it would not be enacted).
He said his Lisbon treaty was different from the EU constitution…
Lies, lies, lies and more lies.
Cameron is “clean”, he has credibility for the public because he is not a “used” politician but use examples from abroad.
I BELIEVE THAT THESE POLITICAL TACTICS ARE SET AT EU LEVEL TO BEAT NATIONALIST PARTIES! THEY ALL FOLLOW THE SAME PATTERNS!

I know we always want more, but from the perspective of a member of this party for 15 years this is a superb result in a very safe Tory seat. The average member of Joe Public will not worry that we were a handful of votes behind the Greens - they will however notice that the “BNP beats Labour” on those big banner headlines that were spinning across the Sky news screen etc this morning. That is SOLID GOLD publicity and will resound across Labour areas where the BNP has a real chance scoring in the not too distant future. Well done Tim and all who made this possible!!

Paganpete & Liverpool Lad : we need other parties to stand, no matter how ridiculous they appear to us for the simple reason that this is democracy. How many people could have a pop at us for even standing, since all the info they have accumulated is via the Mirror or Sun?
I was in Devon when a member of the Monster Raving Loony Party got elected as Councillor. He got into trouble in his first meeting by releasing a hopping clockwork Margaret Thatcher toy across the table, but then since he had no political side to him, he turned out to be one of the most selfless and conscientious Councillors the locality knew. He unfortunately was never re-elected.

Liverpool lad calm down, it’s only a bye election. This has always been the case. Bye elections have always been the show case for fringe groups and big ego’s
In the up and coming D Davis bye elections There are 26 candidates thats without the three main parties refusing to participate. The BNP Lab and Lib dims.
Such are the peculiarities of bye elections usually tactical battles to show discontent with the government of the day, that they become a two horse race of negative voting. Leaving the minor parties to pick up the scraps. Henley was no different.
We must stand in some bye elections to keep a high profile in the electorates mind. But they generally are just a circus. Come the general election every thing goes back to how it was. Any how congrats to the Henley team and all those that turned out and walked the walk. Post result publicity for the BNP is quite rightly priceless. So the decision to stand was good. But liverpool lad remember this. In the eighties one little fringe party stood in bye elections the sort of party that you would like stifled. They are called The British National Party. I’m not having a go L, Lad because I love every one involved in the struggle. Its just food for thought.

I was surprised the Greens ended up ahead, albeit only narrowly.
Considering Henley is an affluent middle to upper-class town and countryside, the BNP did impressively well, nevertheless.
I suspect the Henley population comprises of old 1960s Marxist indoctrinated well-to-do’s who have not been blessed with a sufficiently high enough dose of non-white Third World enrichment to date.
Hopefully, that is earmarked to change within the next five years or so.

Yes, the result is certainly a great success. We must, however, accept that if we could get more green votes we could outdo the Green party. The same happened in the London Mayoral election, there the Green candidate also just came ahead of the BNP candidate. We must insist that we are the true custodians of this sacred land. That we are the only ones who will protect, preserve and nurture it. Green Nationalism in Denmark, for example, has had much success I believe.

They think they’re going to get away with selling out their own country and its people. Treason may sound a little old fashioned to them and a word that doesn’t apply any more. But when you make a pact with the devil you pay a high price. They point the finger at the likes of Mugabe as if they themselves are any better. But more of us are starting to realise what out darling politicians have been up to all these years, so it’s just a matter of time.

Knowing the area well I think the result is amazing! Well done all concerned. I am not surprised the Greens did well, as there are many people in the area who are concerned about “green” issues and would not have thought to look up the BNP’s policies. They would assume the Greens would fight for rural England. I do believe the party should bring to the fore its policies to do with the countryside and try to give them equal importance with the immigration issues. Each party has an image, albeit one that is changing for the BNP, and that is what the public vote for. I do not think many actually bother reading much about each party as they assume they know already. Raise the profile of green issues and the BNP will do even better with middle England. Once again well done all…keep the faith and continue with the battle!

Stefcho : Absolutely correct. The BNP’s anti-capitalist, pro-green approach is based on hard logic, not the fuzzy bunny thought patterns that seem to run within the entire Green party. I do admire some of the selfless hard workers within the party, but they do get hijacked by the hippy idealists who don’t even understand the basics of green philosophy, which is not simply setting up a teepee in a field, smoking mary-jane and walking to the dole office once every two weeks. The BNP’s green credentials are plain and simple, perhaps a little harsh for the hippies, but logically it is the only party that makes sense.

Ah well I had hoped that we would be closer to the Lib Dems. A difficult area to campaign in. Onwards and upwards.
Morning Mr Bean, how are you this fine sunny morning? Have you seen the Henley election results yet? It’s not good I’m afraid. I think lessons will have to be learned from this result don’t you? It could be mid term blues I supppose, Oh well, never mind, how’s Harriet and the rest of the gang?
Well done Tim and all his willing helpers. 1,243 votes in a Tory stronghold and easily beating Labour, GREAT RESULT. I can see Gordon’s face as he awakes to this news….. PRICELESS!
Things are just getting better and better for the BNP and i now have a renewed hope, a purpose, a direction and a spring in my step that i have not had in years.
Great work guys, lets keep building despite everything being stacked against us and send further shockwaves through the native hating establishment.
Kind Regards a VERY satified Englishman.
Ben, Wandsworth
It was as inevitable as day follows night–and it’s good-night to ZanuLabour. As Social & economic life in Britain deteriorate, the BNP can only continue to its inexorable rise. Well done people of Henley, you’ve seen the light; and well done BNP.
Have you seen the NEWS COVERAGE this morning? On “Sky News” it is constant with the news ticker just Zimbabwe and BNP beating Labour! This morning so far we might have received more TV publicity than in the history of the BNP. In cash terms it could be worth more than the Labour Party overdraft, and that is big. More toilet paper for No. 10.
Fantastic result - we really are the NEW LABOUR PARTY! - we would have beaten the Greens too if all those other morons had not stood -
“UK Independence - 843,
M R L - 242,
English Democrats - 157,
Independent - 128,
Common Good - 121,
Independent - 91,
Fur Play Party - 73″
1655 wasted votes! English Democrats? Fur play? Common good? Bloody idiots!
Well done, well done, well done! One last thing to say - sic itur ad astra.
Oh dear, someone will be crying in their cornflakes this morning. Well done all!!!
The Sun and Express cannot bring themselves to mention the BNP. They say that Labour could come in fourth behind the Greens. I wanted better than 3.6% but we have to be realistic. Well done Tim. We have to make voters see that we are the real green party and that the Greens are establishment stooges. If only we could get some publicity.
Congratulations BNP! Well done to all involved and to everyone who voted!
Not a bad result at all. Clearly the Cons were the main recipients of the protest vote as they are well-established already and seen as an alternative to NuLab. The BNP needs to put to Tory voters WHY they see Cameron as an alternative to Blair/Brown: some of them do actually think! It’s a pity that UKIP was there, as they took votes from the pro-British party.
I will be writing up my report of my day visiting polling stations with Tim Rait (with pictures) in due course at:
http://thevoiceofreason-ann.blogspot.com/
In the meantime, some of you may wish to read an interview with Nick Griffin in 2004 which you will also find there on the 21 June posting, and other recent BNP events, e.g., Richard Barnbook as knight in shining armour shaking hands with black man, the launch of the London manifesto, and the meeting in Bethnal Green with Richard Barnbrook and Nick Griffin.
Remember, Voice of Reason is the ONLY objective reporting of BNP events you will find, by a non-white British national known for her independence and objectivity. I am NOT a member of the totalitarian National Union of Journalists, whose rules specifically forbid objective reporting and are ripe for an application for judicial review.

Well done that man (and all who worked with him). Only JUST beaten into 4th place, but soundly hammering LieBore. A result made even better by hearing that the NooLieBore candidate lost his deposit, a nice breakfast shocker for the wretched sporan-man in No 10. Once again, well done Tim.
Well done to Tim and all the hard working BNP members who toiled endlessly to get this brilliant result!
Gormless Gordon has had a good kicking! Now he should GO!
whistle, I too was hoping we could beat the Greens. What makes it even more annoying is that the Monster Raving Loony party polled 242 votes. It would appear those 242 pollsters seem to think the plight of our country should be treated as some sort of a joke.
-11.6 change for Labour is a bit misleading. True, they went from 14.7% last time to 3.1% this time - it’s an enormous crash, their votes dropping to 1 in 5 of what they were.
This is the Green, Mark Stevenson, who seems a nice chap and also active
http://www.greenoxford.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=686&Itemid=1
and who appropriately grows his own greens.
To be honest I’m disappointed; the policies of the BNP considered in isolation must appeal to many in England. The reasons for not voting must be the overall image - after all it is a relatively tiny party, and also relatively new. Even so, in view of the fact that the seat was so safe for the Tories with their vast majority, a bit of message-giving from the voters would be easier here than almost anywhere else.
And although Cameron must be pleased, the result isn’t very good for them; they only got 1/4-ish of the ex-NuLab vote, and the BNP seem to have got more ex-NuLab votes than they did.
No surprise then there’s a Tory win here, but, in this time of great change, the masses of voters doing what they always have still hold the upper hand. What the BNP needs is size - I wish some donor would chip in.
Well done Tim, amazing result.
It was a breath of fresh air to turn the telly on this morning and hear BBC presenters saying ‘BNP’ in a very matter of fact way. At last it is registering, even with them, that the BNP is very real and a force to be reckoned with, common sense will prevale.
I cant believe that there are village idiots who voted UKIP and English democrats and greens,if these people voted with their heads the BNP would have come third.The Tory party must be laughing their socks off they have conned the Tory voters that their alliance with this traitor Goverment is on couse for the destruction of the British people.
Well done to the BNP in Henley, giving Brown a bloody nose. It’s coming to judgment day, and WE will be there!
I am glad that Tim Rait beat Nu Labour into fifth, but why did the greens get voted into 3rd? I think the BNP needs to make the next step and try to get into second and then take on the Fascist party. I mean Conservative, and one more thing, who votes for Lib Dems, one of the worse parties ever. I’ve never even considered voting for them from when I was eligible to vote
March on Tim Rait and good luck. Three cheers for Tim.
Fanastic job done by one and all to achieve this kind of support and have Labour trail in behind us.
Well done Tim and all your team.
Can Labour drop any further down than they are. Labour are now a joke and the only opposition they stand a chance of beating is The Raving Looney Party. Appologies to RLP voters out there but they would stand a chance against you.
Well done, Tim Rait! It is good to see that the BNP gained the most ground in the area - so the canvassing was well worth it! Seems like the Greens are flavour of the month?? Don’t see why when the BNP have the best policies on Green issues (stop immigration!). When the Greens feel the push, they’ll all be rushing to vote BNP.
Brown may as well resign, ’cause he’s absolute cack; Labour is on it’s way out…the BNP are closing in fast.
I would like to say congratulations to Tim on a job well done …….. but … and this is a big but ……. I cannot believe that the British Public are so stupid and politically retarded………
How the hell is anoyone going to get the message and note of our dissapointments when we allow such stupid parties to stand, I know it’s a free country and anyone is allowed to do this but for christs sake look at the stats………
12 Parties Standing ;-
Conservatives - 56.7%
Liberal democrats - 27.7%
Green Party - 3.8%
BNP - 3.6%
Liebour - 3.1%
UKIP - 2.4%
Monster Raving Sh*t Party - 0.7%
English Democrat - 0.4%
Independant - 0.4%
Common Good - 0.3%
Independant - 0.3%
Fur Play Party - 0.2%
Now we all know that some of these do this just because they are “BORED”, they have no chance of getting good amounts of votes and are just a waste of time, energy and even worse, the paper they use to leaflet.
A political party should not be based on limited emotional things such as the Green Party and Fur Play Party, nor should they be allowed to stand if they have such stupid names as the “Monster Raving Loony Party” …. these are the exact people that have spoilt politics and why the British public can no longer be bothered voting.
Tim done a good job, but we can not congratulate ourselves for coming behind the Green Party, Labour were going to lose big time no matter what, if just lib/lab/con ran they would have been last, the fact is our votes were stollen by these idiot parties and independants, this country is going to the dogs and we, well I say we meaning the British public still vote for the lying b*st*ds like the Toies and Libdems.
We never learn and we will be overrun by foreigners, become a 3rd world country and be the lowest of the low in our own society before anyone sits up, takes theor face away from reality TV, crap celeb mags, alcohol, drugs or “I need my foriegn holidays” self centered routines and takes notice tha tour country needs us now………………….
The way to eat into the Tory vote is to remind people that the Tories are just as keen as Labour to hand our country’s sovereignty over to unelected, undemocratic EU Eurotrash.
Well done Tim and team! NuLabour are smashed and the UKIP shown to be an irrelevance. Who is going to throw good money after bad by pulling NuLabour out of their £24M credit crunch now?
Some one needs to point out to the environmentalists that the Green Party are as much use as a chocolate fireguard: they won’t address the two main causes of environmental degradation - continued immigration and aggressively rapid breeding among certain categories of enrichers.
Congratulations BNP.
Some of you may be disappointed by being behind the greens, but note that BNP + UKIP makes up far more than the greens. You may not get along with UKIP but their voters share a lot of the same goals, as do some tory voters who think they vote “useful”.
The danger for the BNP is what Sarkozy did to the FN in my country. Talk like the nationalists and once in power act as a complete traitor. I personally was not fooled at any point but a lot of people were.
Cameron is probably thinking of pulling the same trick.
The BNP spokesmen have to pre-empt this, again and again and again. You should mention Sarkozy, with examples!
He said he’d oppose Turkey’s admission to the EU, he didn’t. In fact, under his presidency we lost the referendum that should precede any EU enlargement (personally I always knew it was a trick by Chirac to get “Oui” at the Euro referendum, I knew it would not be enacted).
He said his Lisbon treaty was different from the EU constitution…
Lies, lies, lies and more lies.
Cameron is “clean”, he has credibility for the public because he is not a “used” politician but use examples from abroad.
I BELIEVE THAT THESE POLITICAL TACTICS ARE SET AT EU LEVEL TO BEAT NATIONALIST PARTIES! THEY ALL FOLLOW THE SAME PATTERNS!
I know we always want more, but from the perspective of a member of this party for 15 years this is a superb result in a very safe Tory seat. The average member of Joe Public will not worry that we were a handful of votes behind the Greens - they will however notice that the “BNP beats Labour” on those big banner headlines that were spinning across the Sky news screen etc this morning. That is SOLID GOLD publicity and will resound across Labour areas where the BNP has a real chance scoring in the not too distant future. Well done Tim and all who made this possible!!
We’d have been 3rd if it hadn’t been for the UKIP vote.
Paganpete & Liverpool Lad : we need other parties to stand, no matter how ridiculous they appear to us for the simple reason that this is democracy. How many people could have a pop at us for even standing, since all the info they have accumulated is via the Mirror or Sun?
I was in Devon when a member of the Monster Raving Loony Party got elected as Councillor. He got into trouble in his first meeting by releasing a hopping clockwork Margaret Thatcher toy across the table, but then since he had no political side to him, he turned out to be one of the most selfless and conscientious Councillors the locality knew. He unfortunately was never re-elected.

Well done Tim and the Henley team of helpers. Thanks also to the 1,243 sensible people who voted to get their country back from the traitors. The publicity, for the party, surrounding this result was well worth the effort. I must say, what a fine, sensible, upstanding & trustworthy man Tim looked in the press photos. I hope this will help dispel the lies about our members normally spread in the media.
I have read so much intellegent comment from the contributors, the media ARE talking of the BNP beating Labour again and again on the news, correctly analysed the overall picture is good, lessons on future strategy and tactics are going to be studied. UKIP, English Dems should really throw in the towel and realise their interests lie with the BNP.
Disappointed that Liberal DemoPRATS and the Green loonies got more than us but I suppose there is a positive way of looking result as well.
Liverpool lad calm down, it’s only a bye election. This has always been the case. Bye elections have always been the show case for fringe groups and big ego’s
In the up and coming D Davis bye elections There are 26 candidates thats without the three main parties refusing to participate. The BNP Lab and Lib dims.
Such are the peculiarities of bye elections usually tactical battles to show discontent with the government of the day, that they become a two horse race of negative voting. Leaving the minor parties to pick up the scraps. Henley was no different.
We must stand in some bye elections to keep a high profile in the electorates mind. But they generally are just a circus. Come the general election every thing goes back to how it was. Any how congrats to the Henley team and all those that turned out and walked the walk. Post result publicity for the BNP is quite rightly priceless. So the decision to stand was good. But liverpool lad remember this. In the eighties one little fringe party stood in bye elections the sort of party that you would like stifled. They are called The British National Party. I’m not having a go L, Lad because I love every one involved in the struggle. Its just food for thought.
Matthew Wright on Channel 5 this morning didn’t share the joy as he couldn’t resist saying:
”It’s worrying that the BNP scum should beat Labour”
I thought that was just typical as he’s often delusional and shows signs of being anti British and brainwashed.
Well done Tim Rait, the BNP activists in Henley and the BNP as a whole and all the BNP supporters.
BNP on the rise.
………..
Matthew Wright was a Daily Mirror journo - nuff said! - Ed
I was surprised the Greens ended up ahead, albeit only narrowly.
Considering Henley is an affluent middle to upper-class town and countryside, the BNP did impressively well, nevertheless.
I suspect the Henley population comprises of old 1960s Marxist indoctrinated well-to-do’s who have not been blessed with a sufficiently high enough dose of non-white Third World enrichment to date.
Hopefully, that is earmarked to change within the next five years or so.
Matthew Wright is from Croydon.
What a beacon of diversity!
I’m more surprised that the Greens were ahead of us
Why have a go at Matthew Wright? His talk show consists of
“agree-with-me-and-my-liberal/left-panel-or-be-cut-off”
The answer to this is simple ………… don’t watch his propaganda show.
Please - Who is Matthew Wright?

Please keep replies short and in context. Thanks. - Ed
Yes, the result is certainly a great success. We must, however, accept that if we could get more green votes we could outdo the Green party. The same happened in the London Mayoral election, there the Green candidate also just came ahead of the BNP candidate. We must insist that we are the true custodians of this sacred land. That we are the only ones who will protect, preserve and nurture it. Green Nationalism in Denmark, for example, has had much success I believe.
The BNP have more green credentials than the Green Party. I speak as long-term member of Greenpeace, and have a very full understanding of the Green Party.
Well done BNP. Of course people think they’re voting for three separate parties when all along it’s the usual EU/Common Purpose/Bilderberger/Marxist/Frankfurt School rabble and their useful idiots. They think they’re going to get away with selling out their own country and its people. Treason may sound a little old fashioned to them and a word that doesn’t apply any more. But when you make a pact with the devil you pay a high price. They point the finger at the likes of Mugabe as if they themselves are any better. But more of us are starting to realise what out darling politicians have been up to all these years, so it’s just a matter of time. We must never rest until these traitorous scumbags are behind bars for their heinous crimes. We must also never forget that right is on our side…not theirs.
Nationalists are the true Greens!
The Green Party doesn’t want houses built on green belt land but is silent over immigration.
We must promote our own eco policies!!
Strider deals with Naturalistic Principles in relation to Nationalism:

@Mandala: Perhaps BNP needs a green manifesto?
Green Party greens are nuts, but several BNP members have excellent, practical green ideas.
Great result for the BNP .Every time the BNP features well in an election result, the more ordinary Brits will start to wonder if this party has something useful to contribute.
Even though the Media may try to hide what the British people may think the election numbers do not decieve. It is absolutely clear that the BNP is on the way up.
Nice one Tim! The BNP ahead of Liebour? This must be a first, surely. At last the chickens are coming home to roost for these anti-British, sleazy, trough-feeding scum.
Knowing the area well I think the result is amazing! Well done all concerned. I am not surprised the Greens did well, as there are many people in the area who are concerned about “green” issues and would not have thought to look up the BNP’s policies. They would assume the Greens would fight for rural England. I do believe the party should bring to the fore its policies to do with the countryside and try to give them equal importance with the immigration issues. Each party has an image, albeit one that is changing for the BNP, and that is what the public vote for. I do not think many actually bother reading much about each party as they assume they know already. Raise the profile of green issues and the BNP will do even better with middle England. Once again well done all…keep the faith and continue with the battle!
Well done to Mr Rait & the BNP!
Stefcho : Absolutely correct. The BNP’s anti-capitalist, pro-green approach is based on hard logic, not the fuzzy bunny thought patterns that seem to run within the entire Green party. I do admire some of the selfless hard workers within the party, but they do get hijacked by the hippy idealists who don’t even understand the basics of green philosophy, which is not simply setting up a teepee in a field, smoking mary-jane and walking to the dole office once every two weeks. The BNP’s green credentials are plain and simple, perhaps a little harsh for the hippies, but logically it is the only party that makes sense.
I somehow think its no coincidence that Labour coming 5th in this election was at the same time as Harriet Harman announced her shocking bill that says that white people and males can be discriminated against in the name of ‘equality’.
