Ukip: An Insider Speaks Out

We have received the following verbatim report from within Ukip - it is published here without editing, exactly as sent (as per our first insightful article on the topic yesterday). It reveals much of interest to those who follow the antics of Nigel Farage.

“As revealed yesterday, Buster Mottram - 1970s Wimbledon celebrity - has been unceremoniously expelled by Ukip’s NEC from the party.

He has also been expelled without due process.  In consequence, should Mr Mottram wish to avail himself of legal action, Ukip’s NEC members have exposed themselves, jointly and severally, to the costs of that action and any attendant expenses.

What is interesting about Mottram’s expulsion is that the alleged offence was for offering an electoral pact with the BNP.  But Buster Mottram was merely the messenger. 

He was approached by senior Ukip members and asked to convey to the NEC the possibility of a pact, which he then expected the NEC to discuss and debate privately.  Even the Caribbean member of the NEC, Delroy Young, stated in Mr Mottram’s presence that he believed the proposal held merits. 

To our knowledge, only Joseph Stalin executed messengers who communicated information that ran contrary to the ruling political correctness and ideology of the day. And yet this is the fate of Mr Mottram.  In this instance, the potential to allocate scarce resources and focus these in seats without any fear of competition from the BNP would have secured for Ukip - and the nation - a slate of anti-EU MEPs, which it will now be denied.

Meanwhile, Eric Edmonds and Dr David Abbott (well known for his superlative website, www.britsattheirbest), the two elected NEC members who walked out of yesterday’s meeting, have been suspended.  Interestingly, it seems their photographs were removed from the NEC section of the Ukip website BEFORE the meeting took place.

So what is going on?  It seems evident, amongst other things, that at stake is the lack of transparency over Ukip’s financial affairs, an area embracing three different facets, well known to Martin Haslam - the party’s deputy treasurer - who is supported by Messrs Edmonds and Abbott. 

First, given the transparency now observed by the Lib/Lab/Con parties, there is the abject failure of Farage and his fellow MEPs to publish their expenses.  In view of the numerous scandals and dishonesty attached to MEPs’ expenditure in general, much of it contrived, this issue has become pressing.  Why does Farage refuse to account to the taxpayer and to his constituents his expenditure?  What is it that he wishes to remain hidden from the public gaze?  This issue is fundamental.  After all, Ukip has made much out of the failure of the EU to sign off its annual accounts.

Secondly, there remain the numerous questions over the party’s Ashford Call Centre, where 90% of supporters’ funds disappeared into a black hole. 

Worse, there remain the pressing questions in relation to Farage’s own SE Region, where hundreds of thousands of pounds - the bulk of its turnover - disappeared in ‘other costs’ between 2004-2005. 

The Electoral Commission’s website contains the detail. Repeated requests for audits of both by NEC members have been thwarted. Why? What is being concealed? This matter is reaching the proportions of a scandal.

Thirdly, there are serious questions over the expenditure of funds by the Independent-Democracy Group, the EU bloc to which Ukip is attached in the EU Parliament and of which Farage is a leading member.  

How, exactly, is its funding - courtesy of the taxpayer of course - being applied?  Here again, there is a marked absence of transparency.

In addition to the many concerns over the Ukip leadership’s propriety of conduct in respect of the above, there are additional topics of concern. 

Not least of these is the claim that there are now more ex members of Ukip than serving members.  Anyone of any ability, potential, leadership skill or promise has been sidelined and many members despise the all-embracing leadership and control of a leader to who has been likened to a second hand car salesman.

Not least are the ongoing complaints and verifiable corruption in relation to the selection of candidates for the European elections next year.  The distasteful jockeying for position, encouraged by the leadership, reached comical proportions when it was considered that the party was too feeble and devoid of activists to return the winning candidates anyway. 

These and other justifiable grievances are well known to the media.  In common with Farage, however, the media has camouflaged such criticism by employing the BNP as the bogeyman, plotting and scheming to remove Farage from the leadership.  In fact, the BNP is perfectly content to see Farage remain as Ukip’s leader.  That way, the party will continue its inexorable decline with a continuous and rising stream of ex Ukipers - all good men and women - joining our ranks.

The article in Saturday’s Independent in September supports our assertion.  The Independent was provided with a dossier of complaints about Farage and evidence of a reservoir of ill-feeling building against him on the part of party officials and members, current and lapsed.  An editorial instruction, we understand, censored such reporting and, instead, focused upon the BNP bogeyman.  That way, Farage enjoyed a successful party conference and the numerous issues, especially those relating to finances, were suppressed.  After all, the media would not wish to see Farage’s removal from Ukip.  That he is a known figure is because of the patronage bestowed upon him by the media and the BBC in particular.  Compare him to the leader of the BNP - a party that holds more elected councillors than Ukip and which continuously scores higher votes in elections, nationally and locally.

Finally, there remain very serious questions about how committed Farage is to withdrawing Britain from the EU.  Quite apart from Ukip’s voting record - particularly that on 27.1.05 - plus its acceptance of subsidiarity and its close-knit relations with Conservative elements, there are the talks with Declan Ganley, who merely wishes to reform the EU.

At the end of the day, there is one party that is unequivocal about is desire to withdraw Gt Britain from the EU, unconditionally.  That party is the BNP and whatever Farage may tell the media, the BNP is forging some very close links indeed with Ukip rank-and-file members.”

BNP Growth Will See Candidates in South Shropshire Next Year, Organiser Reports

The massive increase in support for the BNP in areas previously impenetrable to the BNP such as true-blue rural Shropshire will mean that the party will be contesting at least three seats in the region, South Shropshire organiser James Whittall has announced.

Speaking before the inaugural South Shropshire Patriots Dinner last Sunday, Mr Whittal said the rural area growth of the party would be highly important to the overall European Parliament vote in the West Midlands next June. “The BNP is now in a position to pick up votes in areas that would have been unthinkable as little as three years ago, and the message on the doorstep is simple: people have had enough,” he said to loud applause.

The black tie event was a sold out affair with 40 attending the function at a perfect traditional location in Shropshire. The dinner raised funds for the South Shropshire & Bridgnorth campaign in the run-up to next year’s elections to Shropshire’s new Unitary Council and for the Euro elections to the European Parliament.

The gathering was, as always, a genuine cross-section of the community, with those in attendance ranging from the late teens to mid-eighties, both male and female.

BNP Deputy leader Simon Darby spoke after dinner, providing amusing anecdotes of recent events, including the protest against the less-than-funny prospect of a new mosque in Billesley, Birmingham, where even the local Sikh community came out to publicly support the BNP’s stance.

Mr Darby commented on how pleasing it was to see the party now getting support in areas such as “hideously white” Ludlow, before wrapping up with a toast to South Shropshire BNP for putting on this splendid event.

European Patriots Must Oppose Turkey’s Entry into the EU — BNP Leader in Prague

All European patriots must stand together to oppose the entry of Turkey into the EU because it will bring all sorts of problems on a scale which will dwarf that of the already existing problems in Europe, BNP leader Nick Griffin has said.

Speaking before a crowd of Czech nationalists on Wenceslas Square in Prague (picture left), marking the 90th anniversary of the Czech liberation from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Mr Griffin said that the introduction of millions of Muslims in Turkey into the EU would particularly affect those Eastern European countries who have till now been unmarked by multiculturalism and Islamism.

“It will drive down wages, living standards and increase taxes,” he said, telling the crowd that his father had fought in World War II in the Royal Air Force, and that some of his father’s best comrades were Czechs who fought alongside Britain.

“The totalitarianism against which we fight now is the creeping tyranny of federal Europe. This is why we urgently need representation in the European parliament to sound the alarm about fraud, corruption and power grabs by the ruling elite, who seek a union of North Africa and Europe into Eurabia,” he said.

Other speakers at the rally included Czech National Party (CNP) leader Dr. Petra Edelmannova and Marc Abramson from the Swedish National Democrats. In the crowd were several BNP members who proudly carried British flags alongside the Czech national flag.

At the end of the rally, the local mayor, who had previously been taken to court by the CNP and was itching for revenge, arrived with a large crowd of police and announced the entirely peaceful rally was now banned. As the meeting had already ended, this had no effect on proceedings except to excite the already plentiful media, resulting in a large amount of instant TV coverage.

Nick Griffin Establishes Links with Czech Nationalists

British National Party leader Nick Griffin has continued his ground breaking Eastern European tour with a guest appearance tonight at a rally in Wenceslas Square, Prague, with the Czech National Party to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the liberation of that country from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Last night, Mr Griffin addressed a wide-ranging press conference in Prague along with Czech National Party (CNP) leader Petra Edelmannova (image right).

The CNP is busy launching its European election campaign and is hopeful of sending Ms Edelmannova to the European Parliament next year.

Mr Griffin is accompanied by three senior BNP members from Greenwich, well-known South West activist Tim Rait, and five members from Birmingham BNP.

The leader of the Swedish National Democrats, Mr Marc Abramson, is also in Prague for the meeting, making it a truly international gathering to discuss tactics, strategy and further co-operation between like-minded nationalists across Europe.

Mr Griffin’s meeting in Prague follows his invitation last week to speak at the annual celebration of the 1956 uprising against the Communists in Budapest, Hungary.

Will BNP Man Become Stoke-on-Trent Council Leader? Yes, Says Local Newspaper

A newspaper poll amongst all 60 sitting councillors in Stoke-on-Trent has claimed that the BNP group leader in that city’s chambers is likely to be elected council leader should the referendum in that city vote ‘yes’ in tomorrow’s referendum on whether to maintain the office of mayor or not.

The Sentinel newspaper surveyed all 60 city councillors and found that the BNP’s Alby Walker may be in pole position to become council leader. If the voters of Stoke-on-Trent vote ‘Yes’ in tomorrow’s referendum, councillors will elect their own leader and cabinet.

In an anonymous survey, The Sentinel asked every member who they would choose as council leader. Top of the list of candidates they named was Abbey Green councillor Mr Walker.

Of 60 councillors, 57 responded to the Sentinel survey. Ten said that none of the existing councillors was up to the job. A further 15 said that they could not make up their mind who to pick. But eight councillors said that they would definitely vote for BNP group leader Mr Walker.

The survey results come a day before 186,000 city residents go to the polls. Electors will either vote ‘Yes’ for a council leader and cabinet or ‘No’, to stick with the city’s existing system of an elected mayor.

If the city votes ‘Yes’, councillors will choose their own leader from within their ranks next May. The current elected mayor, Mark Meredith, would be left to sit out the remainder of his term in office as a ‘lame duck’ leader, without support or influence.

The BNP is already changing Government immigration policy

THE rise of the British National Party has forced the Government to backtrack on its long-standing open door, “let ’em all in” immigration policy.

Immigration Minister Phil Woolas, has brazenly lifted policy from the BNP manifesto and called upon British employers to give priority in jobs to Britons rather than migrant workers and to make it a priority to retrain and ‘up-skill’ British workers.

Faced with the impossible task of building eleven new cities the size of Birmingham in the next 25 years just to house the immigrant population explosion, Woolas, also broke new ground when he announced: “On a common sense level, there has to be a limit to population. You have to have a policy that thinks about the population implication as well as the immigration implications”.

Common sense it may be, but it has taken an awful long time to dawn on any spokesman from the three ‘old gang parties’. For the past thirty years Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat politicians have had an agreement that immigration should never be discussed and those politicians that do be branded as ‘racist’ and ‘extremist’.

But don’t hold your breath that this Damascene conversion is going to lead any stemming of the immigrant flood. Woolas admitted that as long as Britain stays in the European Union, there is nothing at all that the Government can do to stop the influx from Eastern Europe.
He also made it crystal clear that profit and greed still remained priorities for Labour over preserving the identity of the indigenous peoples of Britain and their way of life, He said: “We will control the numbers of people coming to work based on the needs of the economy”.

In stark contrast, the British National Party puts the interests of our people and our national survival ahead of the profits of the big business bosses who bankroll the Labour Government and the British economy. The most pressing economic issue in terms of jobs is that over the past two years 865,000 more immigrants are working in Britain at the expense of 365,000 fewer native Britons in work, and that is a scandal.

Nonetheless, an important watershed in terms of the immigration debate has been passed and a crucial - if blindingly obvious - point conceded after decades of official denial. But why this abrupt about-face and dawning of ‘common sense’ - as Woolas calls what the BNP have been saying for years?

Government sources have made it clear to the media that they are increasingly worried about the growth of the British National Party, and now feel the need to appear to do, or at least say, something to counter it.

This proves that even at this early stage in the growth of our Party and our modest elections results compared to those of the establishment parties, we can already have an influence on Government policy. The moral of this is clear. If the vote, and electoral representation, we already have can persuade the Government to make concessions to the views of BNP voters, imagine just how much more effect we could have if those votes and victories increased substantially?

Remember that a vote for the BNP is never wasted, because even at this stage of our development, there is fear amongst the corrupt and treasonous leaders of the main parties, not of what we are now but of what we might become, and this forces them to take on board our policies in a desperate effort to limit our support.

They hope that such token words and gestures will buy off our support base and herd BNP voters back into the Establishment’s sheep pen. But if our supporters, especially those still only thinking about voting for us keep their heads and see the System’s weakness for what it is, long before we reach power our influence will be directing policy. The bigger the BNP grows, the more our opponents will concede to us in a forlorn effort to make the British people go back to sleep.

But Labour and the Tories won’t concede on fundamentals - they won’t for example leave the European Union, without which effective control of immigration is simply impossible. But they will, grudgingly, be forced to take some actions, such as placing limits on Third World immigration, which will help buy our people time until the BNP can come to power and take the necessary decisive action.

By voting for the British National Party, even if our candidate has no chance of winning, you can make a difference and play your part in the battle to keep the cultural integrity of these islands.

BNP to Shake Country with Largest Direct Mailing Campaign in Nationalist History

The British National Party is to launch the largest direct mailing campaign in Nationalist history, in an open ended project which has, at its first phase alone, a direct mail shot to 10,000 young voters in each and every single town and city across Britain.

The mail shot will consist of a 12-page brochure, detailing the crimes against our people — rape, murder and discrimination, giving shocking accounts of ‘real life’ cases with hard irrefutable evidence. The initiative will expose violence against whites by immigrant thugs, the pimping and rape of hundreds of young white girls by Muslim gangs, and anti-white discrimination in housing, jobs and education by the authorities.

The dramatic plan has been unveiled in a letter from party chairman Nick Griffin, currently being circulated to tens of thousands of BNP supporters. The letter explains in detail the purpose of the campaign, a breakdown of the costs and an appeal to finance the project.

The letter reads:

Mugging, rape and murder — white victims ignored — it’s time we defended our people! Racism cuts both ways!

‘Only white people are racist’ or ‘The BNP are racist.’ How many times have you heard these old lines? I, for one, am fed up of hearing this type of nonsense . . . The party has come up with a powerful and very progressive strategy to highlight the real racists in this country and the plight of their victims.

Here is how the ‘Racism Cuts Both Ways Initiative’ will run.

Phase 1:

We will produce a full colour, well designed 12 - page brochure, detailing the crimes against our people — rape, murder and discrimination, giving shocking accounts of ‘real life’ cases with hard irrefutable evidence. This, in the first instance will be sent to every NP, MSP, MLA, and AM as well as every member of the House of Lords and also every registered journalist in the UK.

Of course we know most of the people will try to suppress our publication but in reality we’re only priming the fuses for our main attack. Which will be:

Phase 2:

The Direct mailing of our hard hitting publication to hundreds of thousands of homes throughout the country! As you know, the media and the ‘Powers That Be’ have done a damned good job of silencing anyone who would dare tell the truth. For years they even succeeded in stifling our message. Well no more.

Through our ‘Building to Grow’ appeal last year you helped us to buy the state of the art automated mailing machinery that now allows us to assemble, process and mail tens of thousand of letters per day. The far-left laughed and jeered when we bought this machinery last December.  They’re not laughing now!

Our strategy is to mail out, direct from our factory unit using our own equipment, 10,000 brochures to each key town and city in every one of the BNP’s 12 regions. By combining material from the electoral register with our recently acquired professional database system, we will reach large numbers of 18-year-olds, personally.

Not only are these new voters with no loyalties to the old parties, but reaching out to so many young people will send the opposition frantic and guarantee publicity that will magnify our efforts tenfold!

We will also make sure that all local councillors, officials and local journalists in the target areas receive our hard-hitting dossier.

Can you imagine the uproar? For the first time in history a nationalist party has the ability and skill to go to the people directly. This will cause panic amongst the ruling elite as well as enlightening a generation that has been spoon-fed lies for years.

But we’re not finished yet.

Phase 3:

Using our newly acquired ‘Truth Truck’ the Party will embark on a nationwide Truth Tour to promote the launch of our ‘Racism Cuts Both Ways Initiative’. We will start in Scotland and work our way south over one month, stopping in all major cities from Edinburgh to Southampton.

Once again, because we have our very own ‘bought and paid for’ professional advertising lorry, nobody can stop us. Our enemies also laughed when we bought this… again, they’re not laughing now!

And we’ll be handing out the brochures and leaflets advertising our campaign every time we stop along the way. Together with the media firestorm generated by our direct mailings, millions will see and hear our message. The media will of course keep on lying, but huge numbers of people will at last know the truth. I tell you.. THIS WILL BE MASSIVE!!

Phase 4:

Through our unique online BNP TV operation we can broadcast every stage and event in our ‘Racism Cuts Both Ways Initiative’. And remember, our website alone attracts more views than all the other parties put together (Source: Alexa World Wide Web rankings).

Yes, we should have done this years ago, but it’s only in the last year that we have been able, through the generous giving of our members, to put all this equipment together and to have professionally trained staff and activists to carry out such a massive campaign. Just for a minute think of what we are about to do… Incredible isn’t it?

This strategic campaign will, without doubt, be one of the largest direct action campaigns undertaken by any political party in this country. We have the equipment, we have the skilled people, and we have the expertise. Now we need you to lend your financial support to this campaign by giving as generously as you possibly can.

Give us the tools and we will do the job!

You can see what money does for political campaigns. Just look at the rise of Obama, floating on a sea of cash from the liberal elite, and unfortunately, it’s the same in this country. The plain truth is, money talks.

As you know, The British National Party has, through the years, had to scrape by financially by the seat of our pants, and that’s been a good learning experience for us all.

It’s made us careful with members’ money and as you can now see, over the last year we have been transformed by the generosity of people like you. We are now ready to take on the big boys, and believe me they won’t know what’s hit them!

We now have all the hardware we need to launch a huge truth offensive against the enemies of our country and people. But we need the funds to do it.

Here is our carefully worked out budget:

£22,000 - to print and distribute an initial run of 200,000 ‘Racism Cuts Both Ways’ brochures.

The research has already been done in house by our marvellous volunteers.

£45,000 - for postage. This is a lot of money but it’s by far the best way to reach the carefully selected target audience we have chosen, our young people. And remember, most of this category are floating voters who could prove vital to us in next year’s Euro election campaigning.

£ 5,500 - to staff and finance the ‘Truth Tour” using our own bought and paid for advertising lorry.

£ 6,250 - to film, edit and broadcast all of the campaign actions throughout Britain. This will be a mammoth task and would cost millions if the BBC or ITV were doing it.

The cost is kept to a minimum because most of our broadcast crews are volunteers who will give their time and expertise to make this campaign the biggest and most worrying ever to hit the Political Establishment in years!!

That is why it is absolutely vital that you lend your support to the ‘Racism Cuts Both Ways Initiative’. Anti-white bigotry must be challenged, exposed and defeated. That task starts now!

That’s why I implore you to send your urgent financial contribution to the BNP as we engage in this enormous offensive, the outcome of which will shape the destiny of our nation and people for years to come. I urge you to be generous. Gifts from stout-hearted patriots like you of £20, £25 and £50 have made an incredible difference to our success and will continue to do so.

Imagine, just for a moment, the impact that this major BNP direct action and media offensive will have on this country. A ray of hope would shine brightly for the proud but beleaguered British people. The banners of nationalism would be raised and flown defiantly in the face of our enemies. All this is possible if we can raise the £78,750 to finance the campaign costs.

The British National Party ‘Racism Cuts Both Ways Initiative’ will also send a clear message to the anti-white racists that, our day is now dawning, and their time is coming to an end!

Half a Million Leaflets by Christmas

As all eyes look forward to next year’s Euro Elections, the BNP is pleased to unveil its first national leaflet aimed at pre-election recruitment, says Mark Collett, designer of the new leaflet.

“It is a full colour glossy publication that comes pre-folded — and all for £15 per thousand — just a couple of quid more than black and white digitally duplicated leaflets,” says Mark.

“The leaflet is not only great value but also serves as a popular rethinking of the old Where We Stand leaflets — but in full colour with a much more modern and attractive look.”

The initial print run was 500,000 and the leaflet was first unveiled at the Red, White and Blue where the full stock of 50,000 held on site sold out in less than two hours!

Since then nearly half of the remaining stock has flown out with orders coming in thick and fast from regions, branches and individuals who want to help in our huge pre-election recruitment drive.

“Not only is the leaflet great value for branches who want to put something out that is more professional — but everyone that enquires will receive a copy of the glossy 20 page booklet Britain First and that won’t cost your branch a penny!” Mark adds.

This centrally planned campaign strategy was first used in the GLA elections earlier this year and proved to be a resounding success. Large centrally funded runs of glossy literature were produced in such quantities to make the unit price very affordable, and that’s just what we’re doing here, but this time on a national scale.

“Continuing on from the theme of our election winning and headline grabbing London material, this new leaflet is all about positive campaigning. We want to get the message out to the public that we are a family party with real positive solutions to the problems that normal people on the street face every day,” says Mark.

Whilst the other parties slow down for Christmas we can use this ‘slow’ period to flood the streets with our literature and make sure that this Christmas is the best yet for the British National Party.

To order these leaflets for just £15 per thousand please call our order hotline on 0871 050 0242 or e-mail our National Logistics and Dispatch Manager John Walker at dispatch @ bnp.org.uk.

Communists Riot so German Police Stop Anti-Islamification Rally in Cologne

Extremist Communists rioted in the streets of the German city of Cologne this morning, attacking police, vandalising property and setting fire to rubbish bins.

This scandalous behaviour gave the German police the excuse they needed to ban the anti-Islamification rally due to be held in the city, at which the BNP’s Richard Barnbrook was to have been a guest speaker.

Speaking to BNP News from Cologne, Mr Barnbrook said the police had prevented hundreds of supporters from entering the rally area while the Communists rioted elsewhere in the city. About 3,000 protesters threw stones at officers, while some tried to steal their weapons.

The Pro-Cologne (German: Pro-Koeln) group had sought to protest against plans to build one of Europe’s biggest mosques in the city — a domed mosque, which will have two 177ft minarets.

Pro-Koeln said about 1,500 people had been prevented from attending the rally in the city centre to oppose the mosque and what they say is an ‘immigrant invasion’ of Europe. The rally was also against Islamification and in support of Europe’s “shared, 1,000-year history” and “Western values and Christian traditions.”

Earlier, the leftist demonstrators blocked two Pro-Koeln leaders from entering the conference venue, pursuing them as they sought refuge on a boat.

Police say they responded with batons after left-wing protesters set fire to barricades.

Pro Cologne, which won 5 percent of votes at the last city-council elections, said it was outraged by the decision to cancel the congress. Secretary Markus Wiener said that it was “typical of the Cologne police leadership that they can’t enforce freedom of assembly and that they cave in to street terrorism.”

A city councillor for the group said he would challenge the ban in court. “We’ll repeat the event later,” Manfred Rouhs told WDR television.
