It is reported in today’s media that Britons will lose the ancient right to sell land in acres, under a new Brussels ruling nodded through by the EU-puppet regime in Westminster. We understand that, in what has been described as a “low-key” meeting, a junior Labour minister agreed last week to abolish our centuries-old imperial measurement and replace it with the metric equivalent ‘hectare’ from 2010. Quite who gave this person the authority to erase hundreds of years of English history is not revealed!
From January 1, 2010, Britain’s opt-out from the EU’s metric measurements will cease and the use of the 13th century unit of land measurement will be banned. The requirement, like so much to do with the EU imposition, is buried within acres of small print of the EU directive 80/181/EEC on agriculture and fisheries.
A spokesman for the odious Tory Party – the allowances and expenses-claiming organisation whose former leader, Edward Heath, sold out Britain to the EU (Common Market as was) for the price of a new yacht – hypocritically claimed: “This is this kind of pointless interference into the nooks and crannies of our national life that frustrates people about the EU.”
This person is also quoted as saying: “Whether we use hectares or acres should be a matter for Britain to decide, not the EU” – quite so sir – but it was your treasonous party, in league with the equally unprincipled Labour Party, that railroaded us into the EU in the first place!
Yet this news, the elimination of another part of our culture and heritage, comes less than a year after the European Commission and Parliament announced that it would no longer be seeking the extinction of British imperial measures. So who is actually pushing for the removal of our acre we ask? Is it the proto-federalist EU as claimed or could it be the nation-wrecking, Europhile Labour Quislings in Westminster?
For the record, the first law setting out an exact statutory size for the acre was passed under Edward I’s reign between 1272 and 1307. The word is derived from the Latin ‘ager’, from which we also have words like agriculture.
Typically no one from Labour’s Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs was available for comment!

I’d like to kick Commissar-Dictator Brown in the groin and give him a couple of achers.
-
Let’s all hit him in the ballot box instead - Ed
Every night I go to bed angrier than the night before.
There is definitely no limits to the depths these verminous creeps will sink when it comes to betraying their own country.
What do ALL traitors deserve? Hanging, drawing and quartering spring to mind, the same as Fawkes and Co. got; and they would now appear to have been on OUR side.
Wake from your stupidity Britons-or kiss your childrens future ta ta-your last chance BNP!
Once one had taken on board the full implications of the Maastricht Treaty (which I did so a long long time ago), all else that follows is par for the course, and to be expected:- that is to say, I am beyond being shocked by such relatively trivial issues as how we measure our units of land. It is the loss of national sovereignty and of our ancient liberties and freedom which weigh on my mind, not whether we sell strawberries by the punnet or the gramme, or measure land by the acre or the hectare.
Whats wrong with acres!
I know its a British term, and our government hates Britain.
The only reason the Liblabconmen can get away with the abandonment of British Traditions is that some voters are gulible enough to vote for them.
We have more quiet work to do so as they see the light.
The only way is vote BNP.
Dear Askari,all these relatively trivial issues as you call them,all make up the thin end of the wedge as the EU imposes more and more of them.
Compare it with the Islamification of
Great Britain,they started off asking for small concessions and when we complied they wanted more and more,
thus the state we are in now.Remember
too,that if farmers do not comply they may well be banged up like that poor greengrocer who still kept selling his vegetables by the pound.Don’t give them an inch I say
fight them and their stupid demands all the way.Acres for me any day.
This website is brilliant but we do need another way of placing all these important facts in the face of the masses. We have to realise that Mr and Mrs Average hardly watch news programmes, only read the sports pages of newspapers and only watch reality shows etc, if you get the picture. These people will only react when it affects them directly and require news such as that about acres shoved right into their faces. Our British National Party facts are not reaching the masses for reasons only BNP members and followers know. For example if we could get our facts out to the masses the trade unions wouldn’t have six million members would they?
What is, being done however, is good and effective but only in a limited way. The Truth Truck will also be helpful, but I feel we need that ’something more’ as time is flying by and isn’t on our side. This posting is not meant to be negative but like so many is through frustration. There are some good brains in our party and we need to have some form of brain storming session as there is I feel a simple method to overcome this problem. But again I repeat this is’nt negativity but more a total abhorrence of the main political parties.
-
We all share your frustrations at times Jim. However, look at our recent successes. The BNP message is getting through! - Ed
This has the stench of Milliband about it, he is the new Prince of Darkness.
Yet another act of collboration from the quislings. Perhaps now we should put signs up - welcome to Westminster Village Twinned with Vichy. Governed by Reichleiter Brown
And Sarkosi has the cheek to go to Ireland to tell the Irish they did not vote correctly, and must do so again. On your bike Sarkosi. I just hope the Irish tell the EU in the words of a certain soldier in Dads Army. THEY DO NOT LIKE IT UP EM.
I have to agree with Jim Green on this one,-he is right to say we need to place importance in reaching the next level so to speak, but of course we also need to be experienced in Government, and for that we need MPs,only then can we influence decision making,its not likely to happen in the near future as we know only too well,and thats the real tragedy for us and for Great Britain.
Not available for comment, huh? Well good boys, we ARE available for comment and so is the ballot box. I can’t wait for the Glasgow result.
The British Weights and Measures Association is working hard to preserve our traditional units.
It would be nice if they posted links to our BNP website!
-
Instead of the EUKIP one they link to? I’ve just removed the BWMA’s from your post Orane to teach them a lesson :-) - Ed
How ironic that, most of the ”advisers” telling our traitors in power to kill off our traditions, and other ministers including Straw and Milliband, are not British at all, but pro-Zionist Jewish Communists. I am not paying my TV license, nor am I going to recognise this destruction of our weights, measures and culture. When I was on the local council, all they kept using were hectares, metres, and killometers etc, we also have the younger generation thinking it is ”old fashioned” to use yards, feet, inches and gallons. DO NOT BEND.
Dissident Congress,as I said there will be a simple idea and a nationalist tv station would be tremendous and at the same time, although being party political neutral, would further the British National Parties cause to the benefit of this nation. Lets hear more please.
The requirement, like so much to do with the EU imposition, is buried within acres of small print - shouldn’t that be “hectares of small print”? Also, I heard on CBBC (can’t get CITV) a presenter say “hiding centimetres from one another” - NO ONE says this! Everyone (as far as my experience goes) says “inches apart or inches away” etc. Are they told what to say?
-
“…centimetres away” etc. What utter nonsense. Imperial bombs away (humorously speaking of course) would make more sense - Ed
Just another example of the Powers That Be playing both sides at the same time: on the one hand, “spokesmen” from the hardly existent European Parliament and Immigrant Cheap Labour Partei spouting out consolatory crap and then we find out that the real power lies in the footnotes of footnotes in the hectares (not acres, surely) of unreadable non-vernacular small print mentioned in the article. It seems that everything British is grist to their mill - whatever is fed into the hopper comes out from the EU millstones ground to the same grade of gritty gruel for all. And then we find that it’s all funnelled away anyway and woe betide is if we ever dare to ask for more! Vote BNP to escape from the workhouse that the EU has built for us on the one hand and the thieves’ kitchen with Bill Sykes MP and his Fagin-like voters on the other.

Dear JIM GREEN, no offence old chap but what you are suggesting is an oxymoron. If we had the good fortune to have a nationlist tv station how the heck could we be party political neutral, we would be shouting our nationalist message from the rooftops, hammer the other parties into the ground and show them for what they are,self-serving traitors. Dont mean to be rude mate but that’s the only way.
-
This is a nationalist tv station - http://www.bnp.org.uk/LiveTV.html
It will develop. Keep watching. - Ed
I think Jim Green’s remark that Mr and Mrs Average hardly watch news programmes, only read the sports pages of newspapers etc, was rather condescending to say the least. I myself consider that I am probably Mr average but I can assure you the I and my Average neighbours take a great interest in what is going on around us. The fact is that no matter how much news you read or watch on the TV, you will very rarely see any time given over to Nationalist issues. Whilst the Establishment controls all forms of the media, we can only forward our cause by our own efforts. The ‘Truth Truck’ I find an interesting idea, though I have a feeling that local authorities will use some vague bye laws to try and stop the use of loudspeakers and lights. I suppose we have to fight every inch of the way.
-
‘Watch and read what you will but be careful what you believe’ is my motto eskimo. Your ‘fight every inch of the way’ proves RBC’s earlier point - Ed
Is nothing sacred anymore? I think I’m going to have to pop over my local and have a few 568 millilitres of beer!

If I was the landlord, I’d ban you just for thinking that - Ed
It’s been a long time since I was at school, Class of 61 ouch!! I’ve been sitting here trying to remember the exact yardage to the acre, and I can’t.
We had feet, yards, rods, poles, (no not Poles) chains, acres. In weights we had ounces, troy ounces, pounds, stones, hundredweights tons. Now we have grams, kilograms, metres and hectares.
Now I realise that I should know the yardage of an acre, as I was taught it. But a hectare? all I know is that its bigger thasn an acre. If you are French and own one hectare then the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has made you a very rich man.
If you are an English man and own one acre then you are a rich man in the first instance or a poor farmer in the second
Ask children today about the wonderful weights and measures that have been stolen from us and destroyed. They are clueless because we let it happen. Shame on us all that we have forgotten all these things that made us the great people we were. These things will be taught again to a new generation. We in the BNP must stop this insidious drip, drip to extinction.
Does anybody know how far it is from one side of a hectare to the other? As I was just trying to work out how long it would take for a person wearing JACKBOOTS to walk across one!!
in a word, no - Ed
Dead simple, really - 1 hectare = 2.9899751158 acres. I’ll let you work out the number of jackboot strides. -Other Ed ;~)
“Where should this music be? i’the air or the earth?
It sounds no more: - and, sure, it waits upon Some god o’the island …..
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Hark! now I hear them, - Ding-dong, bell.”
Anybody out there care to put “fathoms” into Euro-blah for us? Nobody will know it was you, except Ed.
fathom = 6 feet; splendid. Mechanical marvels such as the Rolls Royce Merlin engine were created using our time hallowed system of measurement. Indeed I wouldn’t be suprised if its very idiosnycrasy encouraged flexibility of thought and creativity - Ed
why are we doing all the changing? why can’t europe change to suit us, see’ing as they would all be speaking german instead of arabic if it wasn’t for us!!
CRISPY, my comment re-nationalist tv was in reference to a posting by Dissident Congress which does’nt appear to be listed now.eskimonel,sorry I did’nt mean to be condescending but I stand by what I said, I try and sell the BNP TRUTH to as many people as possible and the facts are that most only believe what they read in comic strip papers like the Sun ,Mirror and the like and far too interested in game shows to take stock of what is really going on in thier own country.You are quite right you dont get truthful news in the papers or tv but Mr and Mrs Average wont turn off Coronation Street or East enders to watch BNTV unless THIER road is being taken over by immigrants or a mosque is being built next door.When this happens they then take a sudden interest in the British National party.So back to the point I was trying to make, that the British National Party needs some way to reach the average people and explain the truth of what is happening to our country and how it will affect them. I am sure that if they did know they would be jamming the telephone lines at the BNP headquarters for membership.I hope that your well informed neighbours are members because mine are not,I cant persuade them to turn off the blinking telly !!
The EU is quite comfortable in ‘allowing’ us to maintain some of our Imperial Measures. How kind of them. However, the European project is based on the long term and its modus-operandi is to gradually subsume each nation state, its laws and its very culture by gradual and stealthy means.
The EU are well aware that our school children are only being taught measurements in the metric system. Teaching imperial measures has disappeared from our schools curriculum, therefore, it is only a matter of time ie a generation, when metric measures will be the norm in Britain by default.
Once again, the Napoleonic Code wins again.
Jim Green.
No problems Jim,I can see where you are coming from.I am quite lucky in that I live in a small town.Years ago we had a lot of Asians living here as we were a textile town,now that industry has collapsed they seem to have gone with it.We still have our quota but nothing like it was.I have the same problem in getting the message across to some people.only the other day I mentioned that I was a member of the BNP.The reply I got was ‘Your not one of the NF people are you’So I then had to go into a lengthy explanation of what we stood for,and asked them to try the BNP website.Yes,it’s going to be a long job getting through to people but the party is gathering momentum fast and I truly believe it can only go from strength to strength. Lets keep on ‘Beating their ears’
The difference between an acre and a hectare?
That’s one small step for man, one giant leap backwards for mankind.
Why are we just sitting back and letting the EU slowly wreck our great country and culture? There are 60 million of us so surely we can do something. We never voted for this and do not deserve it.
Gordon Brown is the biggest traitor this country has ever seen and should be tried for treason for breaking his promise on giving us a vote on the vile EU Constitreaty.
More torpedoes from the EU submarine. More snivelling by Britain.
I just can’t believe it.
I bought 101 reasons for leaving the EU off Excalibur and read it last night. On the back it states that as long as the European Communities Act of 1972 is repealed we can get out of the EU. However this would be totally ceded to the EU if Britain were to join the Euro. All this talk of changes in measurments etc (i’m 34 and still think in feet and inches pounds and stones) scares me.
Just how close are they to stealing the coin of the realm?

Well EnglandxChick, this is because we currently live under a dictatorship in Britain, which laughably pretends to be a democracy. There is little democracy in this country, hence why Mr Brown & his useless Government have signed the Lisbon Treaty without the consent of the peoples of Great Britain. Don’t think things would be any different under the Tories, they are all the same. This is a very serious matter, not just for us but for *all* European countries.
