BNP Policemen? No way! Al Qaeda Policemen? No Problem!

The current witch-hunt against British Bobbies who dare to join Britain’s premier patriotic party shows no sign of abating. A spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) has said: “We understand that forces are looking at the list to ascertain if there are any serving officers on there.”

Merseyside Police too are polishing their jackboots as an alleged member of the BNP is being investigated. A spokesmen for Merseyside Police has, “reiterated our position that membership of the British National Party is totally incompatible with the duties and values of Merseyside Police. We will not accept a police officer or police staff being a member of BNP.”

As an instruction in the realities of life in modern Britain, we should perhaps cast our minds back to July of last year. There was another story concerning the suitability of holding certain viewpoints and maintaining the law. You may not recall the following story as, unlike the current furore about BNP policemen, this story did not make the national headlines.

It was revealed in July of 2007 that up to eight police officers and civilian staff were suspected of having links to extremist Islamic groups, including Al Qaeda. Some of these people were believed to have attended terrorist training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The names of these officers were featured on a list of alleged radicals said to be working inside the British police. The dossier, drawn up with the help of MI5, was instigated because of fears that Muslim extremists were taking advantage of the “positive discrimination” schemes adopted by the police to attract more ethnic staff.

One of the officers under investigation, who worked in the South East of England, was caught circulating Internet images of beheadings and roadside bombings in Iraq. When questioned on his somewhat bizarre choice of recreational activity, the officer came up with the novel excuse that he trying to “enhance” debate about the war in Iraq.

Given that the police seem to be pursuing alleged BNP members with such vigour, it would be imagined that in the same self-righteous manner, these jihadist officers would also face the wrath of their superiors.

Yet incredibly, these officers were not sacked, because the police said that they lacked the “legal power” to dismiss them.  Classified intelligence reports raising concerns about police staff’s background cannot be used to justify their dismissal.

And it’s not just potential Islamic terrorists who seem to get the softly-softly approach. Police officers who are violent thugs, druggies, fraudsters and gun-wielding hoodlums are apparently preferred to officers who join a political party that simply opposes mass immigration.

Earlier this month it was reported that amongst Hampshire Police’s 4,000 officers, 42 had criminal convictions, many of these convictions occurring whilst they were serving police officers.

The convictions included discharging a firearm, possession of drugs, being drunk and disorderly, theft, benefit fraud and violent assault. Not one of these officers lost their jobs.

In fact, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), the same body that says they are searching high and low for BNP members in the force, as reported above, confirmed that officers convicted of serious crimes while serving could remain in their posts.

So who would you rather have protecting you? Extremist Muslims who advocate beheadings and bombings as justified crime prevention tactics? Or a police officer who joins a political party that has at the heart of its manifesto taking back the streets from thugs, yobs and drug users? Or as they’re more commonly known, the Hampshire Police Force.

The choice is yours! And it really is your choice. If you want to stop this witch-hunt of decent patriotic police officers, and ensure that the bobby on your beat will truly protect and serve, then join the British National Party today.  

300,000 Foreigners a Year Let into the UK on Faulty Visas by Embassy Staff - Because They Want to Meet Processing Targets

An astonishing 300,000 foreigners a year are allowed to enter the UK each year with wrongly approved visas, it has been revealed.

Around 15% of all short term visas issued by British embassies abroad are issued in error and once in the UK, these migrants are free to stay here illegally.

Linda Costelloe Baker, who monitors Government visa refusals, reveled this latest shocking break down in the Government’s immigration policy as she addressed the Commons Home Affairs Committee.

The reason for this incredible state of affairs is because embassy officials are under pressure to issue visas rather then reject them because of productivity targets. So to meet the targets, staff are simply allowing false applications to go through.

Around two million visas are approved each year, giving these foreign nationals the right to enter the UK for a six month period. These people are tourists, businessmen and those coming to the UK to visit relatives.

Embassy staff are supposed to check on such things as whether they intend to leave after the six month period and if they have money to live in the UK and to make sure they are not coming here to work and stay permanently.

But Miss Costelloe Baker admitted that for embassy officials, issuing visas was “much faster” than refusal: “I don’t think there has been adequate scrutiny of decisions to issue. I think there is pressure to issue visas because it helps people hit their productivity targets.”

Approving an application is easier, as the staff do not have to list reasons for refusal, or have to carry out work to prepare for any possible appeal.

Once in the UK, these foreign nationals, who should have been refused a visa, have an excellent chance of remaining in the UK, making a mockery of the Government’s estimate of 570,000 illegal immigrants currently in the UK.

Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migrationwatch UK, said: ‘This will add massively to the scale of illegal immigration in Britain and is a direct result of the Government’s failure to resource the immigration system they are putting in place.’

Mark Sedwill, international director of the UK Border Agency, made the following remarks, seemingly at odds with Miss Costelloe Baker’s damning revelations: “Our decisions are fair and objective, and last year the independent monitor determined they were right and reasonable in 99 per cent of cases.”

On a daily basis, we are given example after example of how New Labour has lost control of our borders. And seem not to be overly concerned with reclaiming them. The only party that will take back control of our country, and send back those who have entered the country illegally, is the British National Party.

Families to be Forced to Sell Land for Gypsy Sites

The joys of enrichment and vibrancy are to be forced upon thousands of homeowners in Britain as it has been revealed that people could be legally compelled to sell their land to make way for gypsy sites.

Private gardens and fields may be seized as the Government looks to pursue a “land grab” to create permanent sites for 25,000 gypsies. The borough of Epping Forest has been earmarked for 123 pitches which include a family garden and land belonging to an elderly couple adjacent to their home.

A survey by Epping Forest Council says that if residents refuse to sell their land, the Government would use their powers to issue a compulsory purchase order. This would mean that the land would be bought at a reduced rate with little compensation.

Terence Ruddigan, 73, has a small field at his home in Epping and this piece of land has been earmarked for a gypsy site. He said: “They are just pinching our land and telling us, “You will have to put up with it.”

“I have lived in this house with my wife for 34 years and we keep a few chickens, geese and horses in the field.

“My wife and I are furious that just 30ft away from our back door we could have a gypsy site.

“What about the rubbish they produce? What about our safety? None of this is given any concern by the Government.”

It is believed that councils across the country will be taking similar action to free up land for the gypsy sites.  The Department of Communities has ordered regional planners to come up with sites for 4,000 extra pitches and had given £20 million in grants to councils that create legal gypsy camps.

Ministers believe that the compulsory purchase of people’s land will save money in the long run by cutting the £18 million spent annually trying to evict gypsies from illegal sites. 

Iraqis Accused of Murdering British Soldiers Get Legal Aid-And May Claim Asylum Here Too

Two Iraqis who stand accused of murdering two British prisoners of war have been granted thousands of pounds in legal aid so that they can fight being handed over to Iraqi authorities to face trial.

Faisal Al-Saadoon and Khalaf Mufdhi are accused of killing Staff Sergeant Simon Cullingworth and Sapper Luke Allsopp in cold blood at the beginning of the Iraq war in 2003.

The British government wants to hand the Iraqis over to the Iraqi government for trial but the couple’s British lawyer has initiated a High Court challenge on the basis that such a trial would breach his clients’ human rights.

The two Iraqis are currently being held in British custody in Iraq. If their lawyer’s challenge is successful, they would be brought to the UK to face trial and senior British government figures are worried that they will claim political asylum if they are tried in Britain.

SSgt Cullingworth and Spr Luke Allsopp, (pictured above) both of the 33 Engineer Regiment, were travelling as part of a convoy when they were attacked by militiamen in Al Zubayr in southern Iraq in March 2003.

Half of the company managed to escape but SSgt Cullingworth and Spr Allsopp were taken to a Ba’ath party headquarters and then onto an Iraqi intelligence base where they were shot dead. Photos of the dying soldiers, surrounded by a mob of Iraqis, were later shown on Arabic TV station al-Jazeera.

The judicial review of the Iraqis’ case has been launched by the company Public Immunity Lawyers. The couple’s lawyer, Mr. Phil Shiner, confirmed that the review was being funded by legal aid and will claim that if his clients were to face trail in Iraq, it would be a breach of their human rights under Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights.

Shiner said: “The IHT (Iraqi Higher Tribunal) have a track record of sentencing people to death and we, the UK, have a policy of not handing over people to a jurisdiction if there is a risk of the death penalty being applied.”

Senior members of the Ministry of Defense, the Foreign Office and the Ministry of Justice have been given assurances “at the highest level” that the two Iraqis will receive a fair trial and fair treatment.

Margaret Cullingworth, 83, the mother of Simon Cullingworth, (pictured above) said: “They should be tried and brought to justice in their own country. It was a horrible crime. We could have accepted it if they had been killed in battle but they were prisoners and were murdered.

“We do have confidence in the UK authorities and believe they will do the right thing. Simon’s widow has been left to bring up the children on her own and she has found it very hard - we all have.” 

“Economic Benefits of Immigration Close to Zero” say the Lords

The much trumpeted establishment claim that mass immigration has benefited the economy has been blown out of the water as experts told the House of Commons that immigration had brought virtually no economic benefit to Britain.

A report by the Lords Economic Affairs Committee, which was debated in the House of Lords yesterday, told how the government had “wildly overstated” the economic claims made for immigration.

Whereas the Government claim that the unprecedented levels of immigration in recent years has brought in £6billion a year to the nation’s balance sheet, the report showed that the real “benefit” of mass immigration was about 58p per week on the living standard of the native population.

Lord Wakenham, the Conservative former Cabinet minister who chaired the enquiry, said: “We found no evidence of these large economic benefits.

“What we did find was serious flaws in the Government’s arguments and we concluded that on average the economic benefits of immigration were small and close to zero.”

The report also found that those on low wages and young people looking for work had been adversely affected by mass immigration and it was also responsible for forcing down wage levels.

Critics have also warned that public services, including schools, hospitals and transport, are struggled to cope with the influx. It has been calculated that about £8.8billion has had to be found to bolster the asylum system, teach English to new arrivals and treat illnesses.

Such a devastating rebuttal of the lib/lab/con-census’ most cherished hobby horse was bound to bring in criticism from those wanting to prop up their favourite ideological experiment. And the inevitable has happened; the report has been condemned as “racist” by the usual suspects.

Labour peer Lord Haskel, in the classic, tried and tested strategy of stifling debate on this issue, believed that “racist views” could be detected in the report:

“While I’m sure it wasn’t intentional, the impression is that the politics of the committee is anti-immigration,” he said. “And, if they want, a reader can detect racist views in the paper.”

What the report doesn’t take into consideration of course is the demographic considerations of mass immigration. With many of Britain’s major cities on the verge of becoming majority non-white, and the UK as a whole predicted to go that way by 2050, this is the one issue that the establishment will never debate.

Or indeed the moral implications of a native people being dispossessed in their own homeland. The only people debating these issues, and implementing plans to address them, are the British National Party.

Local Boys’ Club Must Let Girls in or Lose Funding say Bristol Council - But No Such Demand Made of Local Ethnic Womens’ Groups

For 114 years, The Broad Plain Boys’ Club in Bristol has offered an outlet where local youngsters can meet with their contemporaries in an atmosphere that teaches them self-confidence and discipline.

The leader of the club, where boys are tutored in such sports as boxing, is Dennis Stinchcombe who has run the club for 33 years and has been awarded an MBE for his work in the local community. Broad Plain receives £11,600 in funding from Bristol City Council.

So, a worthwhile group run by a leader of obvious experience and talent that has been keeping the local boys occupied and out of trouble for over 100 years and instilling in them a sense of self-worth. An obvious success story one would imagine.

Not so, according to Bristol City Council. The club has fallen foul of the council’s gender-equality Gestapo as they have told the leader of the group that they must change the name of the club to something more inclusive, such as the Working With Young People Club and admit girls or face losing their funding.

Mr. Stinchcombe said: “They want us to drop the name Broad Plain Boys’ Club, no matter that we have had that name for more than 100 years.”

“It will cost thousands to change the name. We would have to get new letterheads and change all the equipment with the name on it.”

The council funding for the club pays for two staff to work alongside a team of volunteers who cater to boys who are aged 7 to 25. The club is open four nights a week and teaches the youngsters sports such as football, basketball and boxing.

If the club were forced to devote more time to girls, the club would need to take on a female leader as well and as Mr. Stinchcombe notes, “They will not pay us anything to give more time to girls.”

The club already has a mixed evening which is held on Thursday evenings. A university female boxing team also trains with the boys on a Tuesday night.

But this is still not good enough for the zealots at Bristol City Council. “It has been made clear that we have to make changes to stand a chance of continued funding,” Mr. Stinchcombe said.

As of this date, no such demands to include boys have been made to the Chinese Women’s Group or the Pakistani Welfare Community which are aimed at women. Bristol City Council funds these groups to the tune of £10,984 for the Pakistani women’s group and a whopping £30,494 for the Chinese women’s group.

Parliamentary Probe Launched to Attract More Ethnic Minority MP’s

Riding high on the back of Barak Obama’s US presidential victory, New Labour are now seeking ways of having their very own multicultural Holy Grail for Britain. Gordon Brown will later today announce plans for a “Speaker’s Conference” that will look at ways to boost the number of ethnic minority, women and disabled MPs.

Speaking about the possibility of holding the inquiry last year, Brown suggested that the drop in the number of people voting could be because women and ethnic minorities were not represented in Parliament.

3% of MP’s are black or Asian compared with 10% of the overall UK population (based on the woefully out of date 2001 UK Census). Of the 646 MPs, 125 are women, of whom two are black and none are Asian.

Gordon Brown announced plans for a Speaker’s Conference last year to try and look at ways of making the House of Commons more “representative of the UK as a whole.”

A Speakers Conference is a rare form of Inquiry which last took place 30 years ago. The first conference initiated votes for women in the UK. The aim is achieve a cross-party consensus following secret and confidential talks.

The Conference would be chaired by Commons Speaker Michael Martin who would pick up to 17 MPs to take part in proceedings.

Commons Leader Harriet Harman will open the debate later by saying that Parliament does not reflect the wider society.

Labour MP Tony Wright, chairman of the public administration committee, has tabled an amendment to Harman’s motion, asking that the “under representation of certain groups of citizens” should be addressed. 

He said: “It is most sensible to start off by deciding what under-representation there is before deciding what you are going to tackle. I think there are all kinds to look at. “ 

The Electoral Reform Society’s Chief executive Ken Ritchie welcomed the Conference, saying: “We do not have a voting system designed to produce a Parliament that reflects our society.” 

If the Conference’s findings are approved, it will present its recommendations some time next year. Although there is no obligation for the government of the day to accept recommendations from a Speaker’s Conference, most are usually accepted. 

The findings of the Conference should of course find that the current crop of MPs are indeed not representative of the wider community. But it doubtful that the real reason for politicians being out of touch with the British public will be addressed: the fact that it is only the LibLabCon-census that still believes in the patently absurd idea of a multicultural society. 

What the country needs is politicians that will truly represent the British people and this can only be achieved if people vote for the British National Party.

Muslims Preach Sedition in London

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith recently announced so-called tough new measures to combat Islamic extremism in the UK. The initiative was to “name and shame” foreign based extremists and prevent them from coming into the country.

But an incredible meeting at a London mosque two Sundays ago has shown the futility of such measures, exposing them as mere window dressing, an attempt to put a plaster on a gaping wound.  The disgraceful event saw Muslims openly preaching treason and sedition in Britain, apparently free of any fear of arrest and imprisonment.

The four hour meeting, attended by more than 200 Muslims, was held at a Tower Hamlets Council’s community arts centre and was arranged by the extremist Islamic sect “Islam4UK.” This group is a front organization for the banned Al-Muhajiroun organisation. The leader of both Islam4UK and Al-Muhajiroun, Anjem Choudary (pictured above) hosted the event and his credentials as a proponent of the “Religion of Peace” seemed to be distinctly lacking. “Islam is not a religion of peace,” he said. “It is a religion of submission. We need to submit to the will of Allah.”

Choudary continued: “As Muslims, we will not submit to any man-made law, any government, or any prime minister - Bush or Brown - or Jacqui Smith. We submit to Allah.

“It is our religious obligation to prepare ourselves both physically and mentally and rise up against Muslim oppression and take what is rightfully ours.

 ”Jihad is a duty and a struggle and an obligation that lies upon the shoulders of us all. We will not rest until the flag of Allah and the flag of Islam is raised above 10 Downing Street.

“There are three types of Muslims, those in prison, those of us that are on our way [to prison] and non-practising Muslims. Brothers and sisters, if you do not fear your home being raided by the Kufar police, you are not enforcing the Sharia.”

There were three other speakers at the event: Abu Muaz, head of the UK Salafi Youth Movement, Abu Yahya, spokesman for the Followers of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’aah, and Abu Rumaysah, a student at the London School of Shari’ah.

Muaz told the meeting “speech was not enough” and that it was time to “take action.” He also said “You must destroy the West.” But the most provocative speech in the seemingly seditious free-for-all was made by Rumaysah. Giving advice to the future jihadists in the audience, he said: “Delete unnecessary material from your computers, take precautions not to attract attention to yourself and prepare your family for raids.”

He added that they should support the families of Muslims who were arrested and that Islam will only take over the UK if Muslims are proactive and enforce Sharia law in their own communities. He continued: “Women need to be covered up, men lashed for fornication [outside marriage] and hands cut off for theft and breaking Sharia law.”

But the main event of the evening was still to come as Choudary announced to the crowd: “We have a special surprise, a special treat for you. Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad will be joining us on a live feed from Lebanon.”

Bakri was the Muslim extremist dubbed the “Tottenham Ayatollah” who was refused re-entry to the UK in 2005. Although the live video feed didn’t work, Bakri was still able to address the crowd by audio link. “Do not obey the British law,” Bakri told them. He then went on to praise Osama bin Laden as a “warrior” and told the meeting: “We must fight and die for Islam - this is the map and road to Jennah [heaven].”

Bakri’s comments seem to have made a mockery of Jacqui Smith’s new initiative to stop foreign preachers of hate espousing their message in Britain. Incredibly, the Home Office was forced to admit that Bakri was free to carry on with his hate filled rhetoric. A Home Office spokeswoman said: “This appears to be something that the new measures, which only prevent individuals from coming here and spreading their hate in person, do not cover.”

Considering that Islam4UK is a known front for the outlawed Al-Muhajiroun and its leader Anjem Choudary is one of Britain’s most notorious Islamic extremists, you would have been forgiven for thinking that there was a police presence at the meeting to check for such calls to violence.

Yet not one police officer was in attendance. A spokesman for Tower Hamlets Council, who were criticised for allowing the event to take place on council property, said: “We liaised with the police and were advised there were no major concerns about the group running this event.” 

Bailed-Out Bank Blows £300,000 on Party for Executives

After recently being given £11.5 billion by the British taxpayer to bail them out because of their sheer financial incompetence, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the HBOS bank might be keeping a tight reign on the purse strings.

But the pigs were well and truly at the trough this weekend as the bank blew £330,000 on a lavish junket for their allegedly “successful” executives.

More than 300 HBOS executives enjoyed a champagne fuelled four course meal at the five-star Prestonfield Hotel in Edinburgh at the weekend. The bill for the allegedly cash-strapped bank included £60,000 for hotel rooms, £4,000 for a champagne reception, £200-a-head for a four course meal and drinks, £45,000 on travel expenses, £100 goodie bags for each guest and prizes of £1,000 to reward the work of 16 mortgage brokers.

The lucky executives were treated to a lunch of smoked salmon, foie gras pate and champagne while the dress code for the evening’s shindigs was black-tie, not sackcloth and ashes as you might expect, where the guests were treated to a comedy set by TV comedian Patrick Kielty, who charges £20,000 for his services.

A banking insider admitted that the gala event was a direct insult to the beleaguered British taxpayer who has had to carry the can for the bank’s greed: “It was like a Roman feast - with enough booze to float a ship.

“They like to get you absolutely plastered at these events. On top of that they gave us drink vouchers so we could hammer the free bar.

“The whole do obviously cost a fortune and the bank really did go to town. But some of us think it’s taking the mickey in the current climate, a slap in the face for taxpayers. HBOS couldn’t have chosen a worse time.”

Muslim Artist’s Exhibition Subjected to Vandalism and Intimidation

An exhibition by an Islamic conceptual artist has been plagued by violence and threatening phone calls and emails.

Sarah Maple has been exhibiting her work at the SaLon Gallery in Notting Hill where a number of the pieces feature her take on being a Muslim in western society. One painting depicts a Muslim woman cradling a pig while another is of a burka clad woman wearing a badge saying “I Love Orgasms.”

Maple, who has been dubbed the new Tracy Emin, has previously featured Islamic themes in her art. At an exhibition at Ronnie Wood’s Scream gallery, a number of the paintings featured Muslim women in suggestive poses. In one painting a Muslim woman is suggestively sucking on a banana while another picture is entitled “Self portrait with my mother’s headscarf and the breast of Kate Moss.”

Samir Ceric, the director of the west London gallery, has said that it has been subjected to a campaign of violence and threats, including having its windows smashed. He said: “This criminal behaviour is a manifestation of cowardice and lack of openness to engage in a dialogue.

“It is also an attempt to impede the freedom of expression to which all citizens of the UK are entitled.”

The gallery has also had numerous threatening telephone calls and emails. Earlier in the week a woman wearing a burka went into the gallery and began threatening staff. Because of the violence, the gallery now has 24-hour police protection.

Talking about the paintings that had caused such a reaction, Sarah Maple said:

“The Islamic-themed pieces I’ve done were about integrating eastern and western cultures and questioning whether we can successfully combine the two, or whether we need a bit more understanding.”

Mokhtar Badri, vice president of the Muslim Association of Britain, condemned the paintings and said that his organisation will visit the gallery and demand that the offending pictures are removed. He commented: “She clearly wants to provoke a strong reaction from Muslims and that is what she will get.”
