The increasingly active British National Party branch in Northern Ireland has launched a new campaign aimed at halting the building of an illegal immigrant “holding centre” in Larne, reports Regional Organiser  Stephen Moore.

The Home Office-run UK Border Agency is considering submitting a planning application proposing construction of the facility in the grounds of the PSNI station.

"Local people are horrified by this news that their town has been earmarked as a dumping ground for illegal immigrants and bogus asylum seekers,” said Mr Moore.

“We have seen that it is almost impossible to deport anyone from our country because the insane Human Rights Act. Larne will undoubtedly become home to these economic migrants.”

The BNP has launched a leaflet in the town, entitled The British National Party says ‘No,’ he said.

The leaflet continues: “The residents of Larne are quick to remember the recent ruling where the Courts ruled that in order to gain citizenship, housing, healthcare and a host of other benefits, bogus asylum seekers need only declare that they are homosexual and fear persecution in their homeland.

“This ruling effectively left us unable to say no to the millions waiting to come into the UK to feast on our already bankrupt public services.

“The British National Party salutes countries like France, Saudi Arabia and Italy that have effective solutions to deal directly with bogus asylum seekers and illegal immigrants.

“French president Nicolas Sarkozy has ordered the expulsion of illegal Gypsies and “itinerant immigrants” while Saudi Arabia has stepped up the deportation of in excess of 1,000 Somalis every month.

“The French interior minister Brice Hortefeux was recently quoted as saying ‘These camps are the source of illicit trafficking where children are exploited for begging, prostitution or delinquency.’

“This is not what the people of Lame want on their doorstep. No matter how much sugar coating is applied to this foul-tasting proposal, Ulster BNP and the good folk of Lame will not have the wool pulled over their eyes.”
