Media Liars Go into Overdrive as RWB 2008 Becomes Best Yet
The Red White and Blue Family Festival 2008 is, at the time of this report, less than an hour away from Nick Griffin’s closing address. Thousands of BNP members and supporters have passed through the gate, turning it into one of the most successful gatherings yet!
The media liars have gone into overdrive, with the disgusting “Star on Sunday” newspaper reaching a new low in lying, gutter journalism by saying that there was “a bloodbath at BNP festival” and saying specifically that “BNP members clashed with anti-fascists” - when in fact all that happened was that 40 far left Communists, dressed in black with face masks, tried to block a road and prevent BNP families from driving to the festival.
The police broke up the illegal road block and arrested six of the masked leftists. There was never any contact between BNP supporters and the extremists, but this of course did not stop the media liars trying to portray the communist-police clash as something otherwise.
In any event, by the end of proceedings today, Sunday, 17 August, thousands and thousands of BNP supporters will have gathered peacefully for nearly three days of active, fun, political speeches, fine food, camping, an amazing fireworks display, Morris Dancing, a 40s night (with music) dining experience, a huge fun fair, and shopping at one of the largest spreads of regional stalls yet.
It has been an unqualified success which will go down in BNP records as a standard setter for all future events.
Below, a selection of photographs from events up till Sunday morning. Later on will follow a report of Nick Griffin’s closing address and the EGM called to discuss proposed constitutional changes.

Sorry I have to politely disagree here. All the media reports I have read except the one cited in the article above have relayed the incidents objectively. Even the BBC one which can be read here.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/derbyshire/7565354.stm
The only point I might disagree on with the media is how some of them have labelled the demonstrators ‘anti-fascist’ protestors. By their actions in Cognor yesterday they are more aptly pro-fascist in fact.
Idealist, we must politely point out that you have obviously misread the article above, as it refers only to an article in today’s Star on Sunday, which does carry the most disgraceful lies about the events - Ed
It makes me proud to be a supporter of the British National Party. Thank you, to all that have put the effort in to show that this island is not dead yet.
Marxist Bob Crow, of the RMT union, was at the rally.
He said: ‘The BNP stands for everything that we are not.’
I agree.
What?
I agree that statement says everything about Bob Crow and why I will always support the BNP.
I am glad everyone is enjoying themselves, love the pics, media liars is dead on.
This chap of yours should sue SKY on this one.
He is wearing an Enoch POWELL T-shirt NOT as stated.
RIPLEY, UNITED KINGDOM - AUGUST 16: A British National Party supporter… ———…goes to join a line up to protect BNP’s annual Red, White and Blue Festival as protestors march past on August 16, 2008 at Codnor, near Ripley, Derbyshire, England. The annual festival attracted 200 anti-BNP protesters who marched past the festival site with a police escort. Getty Images

Thanks kip. I’ve removed this link (and Sky’s supporting, incorrect and possibly defamatory text) for the same reasons as I give in AD’s 10:03pm post. Obviously, anyone is free to find it themselves but should view some of the images and supporting text with a degree of caution and scepticism, as with anything Sky has to say about the BNP - Ed
I feel so miffed that I could not be there due to a boring but necessary job! It’s wonderful to know that so many families have had a great time - I will get there next year through hell and high water!
I certainly agree with White Rose and her reference to the odious Bob Crow. Thank God there are still plenty of us that are not like him! What an absolute moron!!
I don’t think that we have to worry about the disgusting Star on Sunday. Does anybody actually read this comic anyway?!
Someone by the name of Bob Crow stands for everything the BNP does not? So he stands for gang culture, Muslim extreamism…he stands against every white person in the world as he opposes their right to exist. Bob Crow must also be agaisnt the Jews as the Jews and the BNP both have this view where they rather love their own heritage…so better get the ADL onto him. Is it possible that Bob Crow could just be unprincipled and believes whatever will get him into a nice rich money job, like being a union leader or something? I bet if Bob Crow was in the middle of 1936 in Germany he’d be in a brown shirt. I know nothing about him, but that statement does tell us all we need to know. So careerist.
Idealist,
The Daily Star Weekend does have an article entitled “Bloodbath at BNP ‘festival’” in their paper version and a google search shows that pressdisplay.com has it.

I can’t see the article itself and am reluctant to go an pay for the issue, but an article exists non the less.
I should add that I do accept that the Star On Sunday distorted the event. The point I was trying to emphasise is that we should not try to condemn the *entire* media on this occasion for the gutter journalism of one particular outlet.
“A British National Party supporter wearing a T-shirt depicting British fascist Oswald Mosley”… what quality reporting. Still I suppose you can forgive the marxist writer as there was a Union Jack on the tee shirt and as every good CP/PC/marxist knows, the Union Jack is a Nazi symbol. It’s a shame accurate investigation and truth don’t appear to be very high up on the the job description of a “reporter”.
The thing with the BBC report mentioned by Idealist, above, is that it is deiberatey vague. Even the most moronic trainee junior part-time sub editor would have checked to see what the protest was about and reported it accordingy; i.e. workshy ANaL types take to the streets to protest against the RWB festival.
Instead, the headline reads “BNP protests lead to 33 arrests.” Within the artice itself, we see sentences like:
“Thirty three people have been arrested following protests at a British National Party (BNP) festival being held in Derbyshire.”
“Six arrests were made after about 40 demonstrators clashed with riot police outside the BNP’s annual Red, White and Blue event taking place in Denby.”
The UAF thugs are mentioned in but one sentence in the whole report, and that in the context of a peaceful part of an earlier demonstration:
“Earlier some 700 demonstrators from Unite Against Fascism, the TUC and Unison took part in a march from the nearby village of Codnor.”
The reporting is incredibly biased, but on an almost subliminal scale. Every time disorder is mentioned, it is in the context of the BNP or RWB festival. At the moment, it will provike some tut-tutting amongst the liberal illiterati who don’t check the facts for themselves. Next year, however, when we’re looking for a place for RWB 2009, subversives within councils will Google this news, print it off and show it to council officers as evidence that the festival is going to pose security problems.
Never underestimate the deviousness of the BBC. Nation may speak peace unto nation as far as they’re concerned, but the corporation will seldom speak the truth about nationalists.
On the plus side, it shows how rattled they are by the deserved resurgence of the BNP and the increasingly popular RWB festival. Good work, all those involved in setting it up.
@idealist: I beg to differ on a couple of points and that is just giving it a cursory look, as I don’t care to stay on BBC websites for too long in case I catch something.
The mis-quote from Chairman is immediately suspicious:
BNP chairman, Nick Griffin, said: “We regard them [protesters] as entitled to have their demonstration. It’s unfortunate that some of them want to try and cause trouble for us. Hence then the police had to inconvenience local people.”
They have conveniently highlighted (by inserting and bracketing) ‘protesters’ to detract from Chairman’s initial fair comment and ended on ‘inconvenience to local people’ - a subliminal inference that it is all RWB’s fault. They have also corrupted the actual quote with ‘Hence then the police…’ (whatever that means) to make readers possibly question one’s language skills.
The next is classic spin:
“Earlier in the week police in Derbyshire invoked special public order laws to restrict the number of people who planned to demonstrate in protest at the BNP festival”.
They are (subliminally) implying here that the actual number of this Marxist scum would have been far greater but for the police ‘invoking special public order laws’ which further implies that the presence of RWB/BNP require special consideration and treatment not required of other democratic organisations and gatherings.
Always finish on a negative to leave a last(ing) impression; “protest at the BNP festival” NOT RWB festival and note the word protest - there’s that word again.
There will probably be a link to St Stephen somewhere (but not immediately obvious) to try to besmirch us further.
The BBC are EU/Marxist sponsored sewer rats and I try to think like one when reading their nonsense.
congragulations on a great festival guys, we wont be beaten by a bunch of liberal left thugs intent on stopping freedom of speech and taking out liberties from us.
Long live Nick Griffin
@Winston: Point taken, I appreciate your effort to scrutinise the BBC’s article more finely then myself. However, the basic facts still come across that BNP members were in no way responsible for the demonstrators’ behaviour, even if you detect that the Beeb chips in its own subtle anti-BNP spin. However, I myself wouldn’t split hairs over the use of the phrase ‘BNP festival’, as I don’t see any immediate negative connotation. Furthermore, some of the public may not be aware the BNP holds a ‘Red, White and Blue Festival’, so use of ‘BNP festival’ is still an accurate term. If they used the word ‘rally’ rather than festival then naturally I would object.
I haven’t bought any news (sic) papers since their outright lies towards the miners strike of 84/85 which taught me ever since to read between the lines, so some good does come of the papers’ lies! Which is why I have ended up here in the BNP, simply through logical thought processes without outside influences being allowed. I remember a few months ago the semi praise for a neutral article on the BNP by The Daiy Star. I did not go and buy the paper, and boy am I glad in view of their latest offerings.
The spin and turncoat actions of the papers beggars belief, you can witness this in their constant changes on which party they next want in power and thus give support to. They have the morals of Jackals.
The recent reporting about Georgia shows the spin they use. For example Russia is ‘retreating’, which of course is a sign of weakness, they actually withdrew. Another example, Russia has ‘agreed’ to dialogue with Georgia, the ‘agreed’ word makes it sound as if they are the ones reluctant to talk even though Georgia are the agressors.
The English language is the best in the world, but because it is so good and we have so many words meaning the same thing in various shades, sublimal messages can be given just by the insertion of one or two words that although textually correct, do in fact change the whole perception of the unsuspecting reader, to any given article. With the miners strike, they invariably had a story about the IRA afterwards or a murder item just to depress the viewer (after twisted reports on the miners), and leave them wth the feeling sublimably inserted that any miners’ news was bad news all the time.
The media are amongst the most evil, manipulative, cunning groups in our society. They deserve their day of reckoning.
BBC says 700 “anti” fascists were on the march, Sky says 200. As the BNP also said 200 we must belive there were only 200 present. The police says a small minority of 40 to 50 caused trouble, well I don’t call 25% a small minority.
And as for The Star, does anybody out there actually read that rag? If any BNP supporters do, they know they must now boycott it.
The bloodbath reference seems to have disappeared from the Star, but is still somewhat negative.
Sky still have the silly foto saying a T-shirt has Oswald Mosley on it when it is clearly Enoch Powell.
BNP members don’t hold protest marches or rallies outside UAF gatherings & the like.
As for Bob Crow, he likes nothing more than rabble rousing & trouble making, forever organizing strikes on the Underground.
I bet he even protests in his sleep!
How many were at the RWB? Nobody mentions that.
-
4,000 according to the Daily Mail. That’s probably about right.. -Ed
Idealist makes a valid point. I am overly, irrationally suspicious of the the wretched, licence-funded beebstards. If they ever said, “Death to the EU/Marxist/Islamist Lib/Lab/Con traitors in Parliament - PLEASE VOTE BNP!” - I would probably find something wrong with it.
The NUJ’s instruction to its members is to report the BNP in negative terms only. It seems to me that it is an open goal for appropriate litigation by the BNP, as it is an instruction to journalists to lie about the BNP - or lose their jobs in a closed-shop situation. How exactly is this instruction framed?
I have just arrived home from the RWB. I can personally testify that there was no contact whatsoever between the BNP members at the festival and the loonies who were dressed in black. There was a designated protest area which was on the approach road to the festival, that was overrun by the nutters. When I arrived, the police were everywhere, but very polite and helpful towards me. And with all due respects, they maintained a fairly large presence around the area and even in the fields.
A very enjoyable weekend, I especially enjoyed Richard Barnbrook on Sunday (today), a very inspiring and powerful speech which received a standing ovation from the delighted crowd: and the the fire works last night were outstanding.
Well done to everyone for all the hard work which made for an enjoyable RWB, Thanks!
My first, but most certainly not my last.
Anyone who ’seriously’ reads The Star is probably incapable of tying their own shoelaces and getting motivated enough to head to a polling station anyway. So no votes lost there.
-
I’ve added ’seriously’ Legend because some of us HAVE to read it in order to monitor their lies and no doubt many BNP members and supporters do likewise. I never buy it however but just read it, much to the irritation of my newsagent. You are correct in suggesting that anyone who seriously buys it, is intellectually challenged - Ed
I am very pleased that folk had a great time at the RBW.
There is a clear distinction between the anti-British protestors and the decent folk from the BNP, so on this point alone, the BNP scores and is visible to the nation.,We all now know who the thugs are.,The fact that these communists turned out and were violent towards the police, clearly indicates that they were really rattled. Bob Crowe and his union friends would be better off using their members subs fighting to keep British jobs in Britain and stop them going abroad rather than wasting it trying to stop decent families enjoying themselves. We are all aware that Crowe and his bunch of thugs are told what to do by the odious Labour party, no doubt for a few promises of a knighthood or a luxury house in France, only time will tell, but I do hope that the trade union members soon wake up.
LONG REIGN THE BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY.
4,000! Excellent, so a 8 to 1 ratio to protesters then! But 20 to 1 protesters, if the lower Sky estimate is correct. It always used to be the lefties who were famous for getting out & promoting their causes.
Things seem to have changed!
I bet the BBC hates having to broadcast all those Union flags at the Olympics! Its a wonder they haven’t fuzzed them out!!

I would say by and large that the reporting on the BNP recently has improved beyond all recognition. The BNP supporting block is becoming a substantial proportion of the population and growing. Any commercial organisation thinks very carefully before annoying around 20% of its potential customers.
The relatively good publicity this weekend could have increased out support by about 5 to 10%, and we will have to wait for a few by-elections to ascertain our progress more accurately.
This weekend we have seen a substantial gathering of the BNP, but many could not make it. Now is the time to convert all those who do not support the BNP. Labour is disintegrating and we must ensure the Conservatives follow their lead. It is only just over 8 months to the elections for the European Parliament We should strive for many BNP MEPs.
A superb weekend at the RWB! Around 4,000 people, mainly families, turned up to enjoy two days of peace, friendship, camaraderie and fun in a beautiful location in rural Derbyshire. Among the throng were guests from Europe, some of whom I have met before. We met a very friendly and interesting German chap, with whom we enjoyed a drink, swapped tales and had a really good laugh. The atmosphere was invigorating, the food was great, and the people were wonderful!
During Saturday around 100 or so hate-wracked weirdos and extremist Labour supporters, encouraged by a union commie boss and a Labour MP, attacked the police, vandalised property in the area, and screamed threats and obscenities outside the gate, threatening to attack the families on site and cause further criminal damage, all in the name of — yes, you guessed it — “antifascism”. It was later reported that around 35 of them had been arrested and detained, while the rest were dispersed and sent back to their ‘vibrant’ rainbow dens.
A great time was had by all then.
The Punch and Judy farce needs no further comment, except to confirm that something along those lines did actually happen. What evil forces were the BNP planning to unleash? What cunning, diabolical device might have been deployed had not the boys in black and yellow been there to thwart their wicked plot.
We’re going to have to await further reports to find out!
__________
Chambers defines fascism as characterised by militarism and repression of individual freedoms–sounds to me like the militant protesters who were intent on repressing our freedom to gather and enjoy ourselves! They need to take a close look at themselves….–Ed.
Unfortunately having joined last November I had to work all this weekend missing what would have been my first RWB. I was however working in Ripley on Thursday and spoke to several local people all of whom without exception (and without my letting on regarding my membership of the BNP) told me that they were dreading the protesters coming but had no problem with the BNP - clashing with the lies and propaganda put about by the loony left that they are acting on local peoples behalf, we know this is untrue and it seems the local people were not fooled either!
The RWB has been the most commented-on article in the Ripley and Heanor news for a few days now, keeping us firmly on the front page of the website!
http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/
I hope everyone who attended had a great time - I’ll be there next year!!
Well, I must say well done to the BNP on what looked like an amazing event.
I attended the RWB just for the day on Saturday with my wife and daughter. We all had a great day and well done to all involved. Next year we will camp. The only thing that spoilt it slightly was, after driving 90 miles up from South Northants, we spent over an hour trying to make the last mile due to the Reds’ Illegal road block on the Queens highway. This should have been dealt with much quicker by the Police. Anyway I feel I was inconvenienced and had my enjoyment of the trip spoilt. Where there’s blame there’s a claim; do I ask for compensation from UAF, RMT, or Derbyshire Police? I was thinking around £100 which of course will be donated to the Party. I suggest everyone else does the same.
-
Not quite sure if you are being sarcastic or serious here Simon but seriously, don’t waste your time. You and everyone who was illegally inconvenienced by crowe’s pig’s ear of a demo, should be compensated of course - and pigs, like crows, may one day fly - Ed
No surprises from “The Scum”, then! This piece of c*** is, of course, Britain’s “favourite” newspaper. When will the purchasers of this poor quality toilet paper wake up? A rather fairer picture has been reported elsewhere and I think it is worth folks looking at the wider picture:

The silence from the commies suggest that this is a weekend they would like to forget. Even by their standards it has been a propaganda nightmare for them, and a triumph for the BNP.
May I suggest that if anyone has, or can get, an image or two of the black-clad & masked red-facists attacking the police that they send it in to the BNP, as they will be a valuable weapon in the BNP’s propaganda araenal?
Perhaps you should appeal for such Mr. editor?
-
There will be some photos among our reports, mercia.
- Ed
You’re right about a weekend the commies would like to forget
My old Grandfather, born in the 1870’s, often came out with some good old fashioned homlily that I have never forgotten.
He would often say, “All liars dwell with him in hell. Remember boy, a thief will steal your goods but a liar will steal your good name, which is worth far more. Your honour and your reputation is always difficult to defend against a liars tongue”.
I too have held that liars are the worse kind of thieves.
-
My grandma used to say “a liar is worse than a thief” - Ed
I thought the Australian speaker on Sunday was brilliant. Very eloquent and down to earth. He spoke in terms that anyone could understand.
My wife now understands that the threats are against indigenous Europeans, and not just the British.
Keep the faith folks! The first I read about the usual suspects going to protest at the RWB Festival was on teletext on Friday. For the first 30 seconds I felt the usual “here we go again but what can we do?” However, when it had all kicked off and the following day I read about their arrests and violent attacks on riot police - yes, riot police - I felt a warm glow. How does the media report this? A peaceful BNP Festival attacked by lefties. Riot police attacked and pelted. I said to my wife, “The media have a problem here - but the BNP is not the problem. I guarantee you will not see or hear anything about this on telly.”
However, come Sunday morning, whilst gloating over my accurate prediction, I suddenly realised the serious implications of the situation. We have reached a stage in this country where an attack on riot police is not reported, for political reasons. Can anyone imagine any other circumstance in the UK where police can be violently attacked and yet it not be reported in mainstream media? THIS is all we are up against. We KNOW the negatives of immigration. We KNOW the connection between crime and immigrants. But there is nothing - repeat, nothing - as dangerous as a biased and corrupt media. Solve this problem, and we have no other.
My previous comments about compensation on the road block were a bit of both. I would love to send the Party a cheque for £100 from monies relieved from the Reds. What the idiots who stood in the road failed to grasp is we true Brits are made of strong stuff. I would have sat there for another hour to get in to RWB to see my friends and fellow Patriots. As before, thanks for all the hard work put in by everybody. See you all next year for the 10th RWB.
Ed, I for one believe it is very, very important to emphasise any aspect of erroneous reports against the BNP. I can assure you that it has reinforced my support for our party, even to a point that I will now make another donation. This will infuriate “those who are aware” — the millions of “real” British who have suffered injustice at the hands of our corrupt, filthy Government and cause a spectacular backfire on the perpetrators. What I say I know is a fact. Keep up the good work Ed.
When you attack us we will become more united!!
-
We will be looking into every aspect of the situation, topmarqueswales, I assure you of that.
Thank you very much for the offer of another donation. It is very much appreciated, and every penny helps us to progress. I and the other ‘Ed’s will keep up the good work alright. The weekend team who stayed behind to keep things running have done a praiseworthy job, while two of us were at the RWB, and we have loads of material to add to the already-burgeoning bag waiting to be examined, including some great photos.
- Ed
Congratulations to the webmaster on the quality of the RWB report. All the photographs showed members and/or their families present in substantial numbers. This contrasts with some excellent photos of tents on a normally very informative blog but mainly with not a soul in sight! As for the media reports, well, they were in general much improved on what we would have received five years ago.
John Bean
I think BNP supporters should withdraw memberships from unions such as RMT and Unison. Remember, you don’t have to join another union, but simply withdraw. Some people in less left-wing job environments can look to joining Solidarity.
-
I think I know what you mean by ‘left-wing job environments’ Tommy but Solidarity, like the BNP, is open to and welcomes ALL those who want a future - whether it be their Job or their Country - Ed
On the topic of media hype.
I have just today returned from a cruise on a ship which is from a home port in England. Very few of the crew are British (as is to be expected) and very pleasant they are too; but they work for little monies in comparison to what we must earn to pay our ever increasing taxes.
The numbers of passengers who daily talked about their mistrust of the liblabconmerchants was to be heard to be believed. In conversation with one couple, the man told of being handed one of our leaflets. He said he agreed with all ten points, yet when his wife said “yes but it’s the other things they’ll do” that I realised just how many decent folk will support us but have the lingering doubts that are the results of the media lies put out by those we all know.
Getting through to these people, especially the further North you go, is the first in a list of what we must do.
Shame I missed the RWB but next year I plan to be there.
British civility and good behaviour, compared to third world savagery. We win hands down.
Regarding the RWB Festival. What a marvellous feeling it must be for family and people to be around their fellow travellers. God Bless the BNP.
Oh yes, the Sky pictures are quite far removed from that shown above. With all due respect to people with tattoos, I think Sky has attempted to portray an image which isn’t entirely “unbiased”. To be honest, I see most photographs as making the party out to be skinheads with tattoos and bulldogs. (Nothing wrong with that, but Middle Britain needs a fair assessment of the many types of people who support the BNP). Quite possibly, it may pay to have more control over the PR communications and/or only let in photographers/newspapers that have been balanced in their appraisal this year. I don’t think the party should go into “spin mode”, but there are many marginal voters out there who could be easily BNP voters with the right and unbiased reporting.
Has there been anything on the News about the lefties causing trouble? I haven’t seen a thing on BBC or Sky News. Can’t help thinking that if BNP members had caused any sort of trouble they would have had a field day with Lib, Lab, Con politicians queuing up to condemn us. Well done to all who attended for exemplary behaviour & restraint.
-
Reporting generally appears to have been confined to the net and the paper media. The BNP attendees were possessed of rather more dignity than the revolting bunch of unwashed rabble outside the gates -Ed
What a horrible man Bob Crowe is. I saw him on Question Time a few weeks back, and he loves all the immigrant labour. He also does not believe that council housing should go to those who have been on the list the longest — he says it should go to those in need first (meaning any immigrant who comes here with loads of kids comes first). What a tosser.
A truly brilliant weekend! I took my son (28) for his first ever BNP event and he - like me - was impressed and heartened by the spirit shown by our Party. The Reds made utter idiots of themselves and must be howling at their own-goal fiasco of a stunt that went badly wrong. We had fun, and they had a PR catastrophe!
Missed opportunity: while waiting for the demonstration to subside, BNP supporters could have engaged in a little buttock-clenching as excercise, since it’s now Government Policy. I’m not making this up:

@merlin @5:42pm: Actually Ed, it can be either, although Union ‘Flag’ is possibly (but not definitely) the more correct as you are. Because incorrect usage of Union ‘Jack’ has now become (pretty much) the norm, the beauty of language demands that it be accepted. It is no longer deemed incorrect to use it and use of the correct ‘Union Flag’ is almost becoming the exception - and incorrect ‘Union Jack’ has almost become the more accepted norm. Indeed, The term “Union Flag” is less well-known outside the United Kingdom and may even lead to confusion in possibly referring to ‘other’ union flags.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Flag
The first picture on Sky News shows a St George’s flag, as if to say they are fighting for England — but look closer and you’ll see it is on someone’s wall, not with the protesters. I do not see any more pictures of the UAF with British flags, even on other sites.

Thanks AD. The Sky News link, as one might expect, is [imho] an attempt to show the BNP in a rather negative light. Out of the 13 images, 1 - 3 show the Bob Crowe Circus parading their zoo-like bananas (sorry banners) and some (not all) BNP images have probably been carefully selected for their subliminal negativity. There is not a single picture of a child or family, correctly depicting the true ‘family’ aspect of the RWB Festival. Even the overcast sky (where possible) and the number 13 was probably not a coincidence. Subtle spin and mind-games of the worst (best?) possible kind - Ed
Turned out nice again.
A good weekend for all.
David Copperfield.
Can you believe it? Here we are, Great Britain in the 21st century and we have EU & Government-funded organisations, organising against the British National Party in an effort to prevent us from protecting our way of life and our country from becoming simply a ‘region’ of an EU superstate. It really is up to each of us - no one else will preserve our country for our children.
We are all mere small ants individually, but collectively we can do this. Get off the fence, we must engage.

If anyone is in any doubt about how nefarious the BBC is, compare their original report regarding the arrest of UAF thugs at the RWB with the later one. Clearly, the commissar was out of the office when the original article was uploaded to the BBC website.
Obviously one revision wasn’t enough to convince the nomenklatura that the report was sufficiently anti-BNP. The BBC made a total of three revisions before arriving at the version that graced the internet this morning.

Of course, what the BBC fail to report is that a number of the UAF thugs who went off to throw things at police officers in Kensington Avenue, Heanor, were arrested for breaching various bail conditions that were imposed on them by the courts.
I’d say that this smacks of the action of habitual criminal elements within UAF, rather than an act of spontaneous stupidity prompted by passion for their political cause.
No wonder they want to encourage more immigration and close all the immigration detention centres; with all the imported criminality on the streets, the police will hardly have any time to track down UAF criminals!
Ed & Winston,
coming from a navy family it will always be the Union Jack to me!

Regret I cannot read in full detail all the encouraging comments here but well done to all who made this year’s RWB such an outstanding success.
One (or two) point(s) I would make, that I think should not be forgotten.
1. The BNP sings hymns on Sunday morning at the RWB.
2. At the same venue, the anti-BNP hurls bricks at the police.
Go figure, as they say.
P.S. For those who visited the Teesside display, I hope you viewed the material on CSM Stanley Hollis, VC, 6th Green Howards, the only British or Empire serviceman to win the Victoria Cross on D-Day, June 6th, 1944. CSM Hollis’s ex-CO said of CSM Hollis that he saw it as his personal responsibility to win the war. Clearly a challenging role-model.
2i269, looks like BBCP (British Broadcasting Common Purpose) are up to their usual tricks.

@AD 10:03pm re: Sky. I hope (and I am sure they are) the BNP hierarchy are keeping an eye on these BBC and Sky swine regarding the olympics. I just said to wifey, “I bet you they try and compare unelected, desperate Gordon to our successes in the olympics today”. Next minute they are parading fade in and out images of ‘Gordon the Loser’ across images of todays ‘Winners’. Then we have people being interviewed saying how great it makes them feel and how proud they are to be British. This idiot of an unelected PM is just daft enough to call a general election on the day after the closing ceremony.
Where’s that vomit bag!?
I think this is the article that merlin @ 11:10pm refers to:
This weekend saw the best Olympic results for Great Britain in 100 years, and even and as a nation we should feel a great sense of pride for our fantastic home grown athletes. Yesterdays was the first time Britain has won so many medals in a single day since the London Summer Olympic games of 1908.
For the first time in decades Great Britain is in third place, behind only the host nation and the world’s last remaining superpower. It does not get much better than that, we could not hope for better in the lead up to 2012.
However, yesterday’s news coverage on the BBC and Channel 4 suggested that the results were not quite as enthusiastically welcomed in the Newsrooms across the nation as they may have been in its living rooms. I am only guessing but a glance at the triumphant athletes may give us a clue as to why, is it possible that they are all a little too shining white to please the TV opinion formers. How can they possible sing the praises of the British winners when those winners are all so unfashionably indigenous.
Could that be why, the day that team GB scored our greatest result in a Century, both the BBC and Channel 4 devoted at least half of their Olympic coverage to a Jamaican athlete called Bolt.
Mr. Bolt did very well, and we all applaud him, however these were two British news channels, reporting on British TV, on the day of Britain’s greatest Olympic achievement since the dawn of the 20th Century. On that day, what other nation on earth would spend 50% of their coverage reporting on the achievements of a foreign athlete? In a post praising our sportsmen and women, it would seem inappropriate to call our media by the name they deserve, but it starts with ‘Scum’ and ends with ‘bags’.
Congratulations to our victorios sportsman, our national media may not appreciate you but we, the British people do.
It is very obvious that the all the gutter press liars ever feed their readers with is depressing negative untrue reports that do anything and everything to spread their anti British anti White bile in the prescribed lib-lab-con manner.
Anything truthful,wholesome and uplifting is strictly forbidden in the pages of their nasty little rags so anyone or any party who really care about the future of our country,in the way that the BNP does,is an obvious target for their lying reporters.
Thank goodness the British voters are at last beginning to see through their little game and are proving it in ever increasing numbers by giving us their support.
Health problems prevented me from attending this years RWB but I will be doing my utmost to get to future events.
Well done to all concerned for putting on a superb show and proving once again that the REAL knuckle draggers were clearly NOT BNP members.
While I can understand peoples reservations about Sky, at least they call the opposition to us as “Anti-BNP Protesters” rather than “Anti-fascist” protestor.
It certainly was a great RWB. Was there from Friday through to Sunday, just got home.
Pleased to hear you got home safely hrhdtr, as did many of us. The only violence over the weekend came from the protesters and those that funded them.
A wonderful weekend and a huge amount of credit has to be given to the security team that worked so hard to protect us all and our families in the face of such hatred, intimidation and violent behavior of the so called “anti-facists”!

See how Sky Spin Services plc proudly boasts Britain’s bronze medal winner with a dominating image and text, while our gold medal winners are consigned to an almost thumbnail size image. No doubt it will have changed by morning:-
“Pommel bronze for Smith. Peterborough teenager Louis Smith won Britain’s first gymnastics medal for 80 years with an unexpected bronze in the pommel horse final.”

I’m just watching Sky News, which is boringly predictable in wheeling out their ethnic presenters after the witching, watching hour.
I think she should sue the nighttime pants off Sky for daring to imply/suggest, that she is not suitable or fit for daytime viewing [common] purposes.
I arrived home late last night from the RWB. And as always my wife and I had a most enjoyable time. We care less who is demonstrating about what. We attend the RWB because we support the BNP and always will. I’ve seen some of media reports on this site, and really it comes as no surprise to me that the unelected invader/Traitor Brown(lips) keeps getting elected. My, my aren’t people gullible that they should believe such pure unadulterated ****? I s’pose the truth will out in the fullness of time. I was slightly disappointed with one statistic given to me by an “official” yesterday, that is it was suggested that as many as 500 people may have stayed away for various reasons. Be stronger next year and BE there!!!!
As an aside I think it is our intention (BNP’s) to blanket leaflet the whole area informing residents the truth of what exactly took place yesterday (SAT 16th) and the people, and organizations involved. The decision is not mine but if it is taken, I will be more than pleased to help furnish the locals with the truth, just for a change!!
Hi and Good Morning Folks! A minor point! From reports this weekend Bob Crowe of the Rail Maritime and Transport Workers is AGAINST all the British National Party stands for.Please read again slowly.
Ed! Is not the BNP for “Railway Investment”? Therefore is is he not advocating an “Anti Railway Policy”? Not really in the interests of his members?
Solidarity please take note of thse anti rail rantings for your railway members. These profound disclosures are not Me but Bob Crowe, his words.
A growing and substantial proportion of the population has an internet connection - which is why newspaper sales are on the slide. All this media bad mouthing of the BNP is just so much ‘peeing’ in the wind.
Here is the man I think Sky News were referring to with the “Mosley” T-Shirt.
When I was walking around photographing people for the website, he said he wanted to be on the website. So seeing as Sky have either lied or made a mistake about his t-shirt, here’s a link to his photo on my flickr account:

I’ll be posting more details soon on were to post RWB photos.
Thanks!

If someone on the web team could make a seperate article concerning this flickr page it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks, esselliot.
Noted.
Please don’t take this the wrong way, however we suggest the lady you mention might want to have a look at some sites published by Islamist insurrectionists, anti-white ethnic enrichers and violent far left nihilists too in order to see what we are up against, and perhaps better understand what Richard was trying to explain. Also, it is worth noting that we need to let off steam from time to time, even if its what I regard as very mild comment concerning those who really do wish us harm. Bear in mind too that the remembrance garden at the rwb featured only a tiny fraction of indigenous people murdered by those Richard spoke about, and that our people are being attacked, reviled, abused and reviled on a daily basis, some of which I’ve witnessed first hand.
Words are just words.

The mass media have been hostile to nationalism for many decades and I don’t anticipate that this will change any time soon.
However their misrepresentation of the BNP is becoming progressively more difficult. Witness the BBC’s extraordinarily careful (and several times revised) use of language of the last few days. Unlike some of the gutter media, the BBC does not want to be seen to be habitually making demonstrably false statements. So the reports of the protests against the RWB were crafted with subtle use of language but they were nothing like as damaging as they might once have been.
Under Mr Griffin’s able leadership the BNP has realised something that the BNP’s enemies always knew - that the intellectual case for rational and measured nationalism (which is more than a match for the proponents of unrestrained international capitalism or the failed dogma of marxism) was failing to attract support principally because of the success the establishment enjoyed in portraying nationalists as yobs or bigotted simpletons.
In large measure, effective party housekeeping and dealing with the BNP’s image is what is contributing to the steady organic growth of the party - by making it progressively more difficult for the media to make their mischief.
The enemies of truth are starting to struggle. Part of the reason for the huge success of the BNP website is due to sympathetic non-members looking for the other side of the story when they get that suspicion that something in the media is being spun a little too carefully.
As the BNP grows, both in numbers and in public credibility, the old-school tricks to prevent the party message getting out will falter to the point where they become unsustainable.
It’s a long haul, with many traps being laid by our enemies along the way, but I am convinced that today’s party under Nick Griffin is in better shape than ever before to stay the distance and make a real difference to British society.
Ed. You are preaching to the converted with me.The RWB was very good and my wife has learned a lot about the enemy within, especially she was surprised that, after hearing the speech by the Australian, how widespread the problem is.

ok - Ed
Bloodbath? my foot. Well it was my leg actually. Scratched it on a bramble. Well worth the pain to be in the heart of the safest most honest place on planet earth. The Red White and Blue summer festival of the BNP in Derbyshire England.
I’ve never seen so many smiling faces in one place. If the reds saw us in their minds starved of oxygen they might think we were all on happy drugs. Well we were its called the company of kith and kin. Perhaps they should try it.
I was in the political tent. When I got up to leave the chap sitting directly behind me called me back and handed me three pound coins that had fell out of my side pocket. Out in the world this would have been an extrordinary event. In The RWB this is normal. Anyway thanks again to the gentleman in question.
I arrived friday evening, left after the EGM sunday and for the whole of that time I had a glimse of the future of our tribe and country under the guidance of the BNP. GO FOR IT THE NEXT BEST THING TO HEAVEN ON EARTH.
Even the Gods smiled on us with the final speech by our chairman (standing on the TRUTH TRUCK )bathed in sunshine.
A good weekend all round. On top of a successful Festival, OUR Olympians have been reeling in the medals. It just shows that the athletes of our race can do the nation proud. We don’t actually need any imported performers to succeed.
…….
A few more golds and I wonder if McBean will break cover, revel in our athletes’ glory and call an election on the back of ‘his’ success. - Ed
As an ex-newsagent I can tell you that newspaper sales have been falling for years.
Many newspapers have had to appeal to female readers to help keep their circulation figures up.
Turn off the TV, don’t buy the papers and go online for your news.
UK Tabloid or the BNP website are worth their weight in gold…
Great RW&B, and hats off to Security who gave up their time to ensure we all could enjoy a great weekend.
With regard to Redbridge resident Bob Crow, who led the unwashed leftist mob at the weekend: In union parlance, a `scab` describes someone who rejects principles of solidarity and selfishly betrays his fellow workers. Mr `I hate the BNP` Crow passionatley defends the interests of a tiny minority of people getting rich and fat by flooding the British job market with a mass of cheap immigrant labour, depriving British workers of employment opportunities, undercutting our wages, and forcing us to work for less. To that small minority of fat cats, Crow is a `useful idiot`. To the rest of us, he is the very worst kind of SCAB.
I hope you’re reading this Bob. You are a traitor, and a S.C.A.B. - SCAB!

London Borough of Redbridge
Well done to everyone!
What a great weekend. Its tens of thousands more votes for us.
The far left idiots are now a disorganized rabble, …. everyone is now laughing at them. I bet Gerry cable of mini-touchlight is now lying on his fleapit crying his bulbous eyes out. Its been a pr disaster for his gang an
