Manchester – Policing Without Pride

September 2, 2008 by BNP News  
Filed under North West, Regional News

On Saturday 23rd August, Manchester witnessed the largest ever gathering of gay police officers during the annual ‘gay pride’ march in the city centre. Officers appeared in public wearing sweatshirts adorned with the slogan ‘Police with Pride’. Regrettably, this bizarre spectacle was just another depressing milestone in the humiliating decline of Greater Manchester police from a once proud force, into little more than a showcase for politically-correct exhibitionism.

The BNP firmly believes that the state should not concern itself with what consenting adults, ‘gay’ or ‘straight’, do in the privacy of their own homes. Equally, state institutions such as the police or prison services should not demean themselves by encouraging their officers to flaunt their private predilections in a public parade. A police officer might be homosexual, but surely he or she should be obliged to present a dignified and smart public persona? Police officers would never be allowed to participate in a ‘white pride’ parade, so why should they be officially encouraged to take part in ‘Gay Pride’?

Unfortunately for Greater Manchester Police (GMP), the ‘Police with Pride’ spectacle coincided with the release of a report showing that GMP missed 13 of its 17 targets between April and June 2008. Burglary, drugs offences and serious violent crime were among the categories where GMP’s results were deemed ‘unacceptable. Greater Manchester Police Authority has also expressed ’serious concerns’ about the force’s performance.

Of course, most ordinary GMP police officers continue to serve their community conscientiously and impartially, just as they have always done. Indeed their ranks have included a fair number of outright heroes, such as DC Stephen Oake, who fell in the line of duty while trying to arrest a Muslim terrorist and was justly awarded a posthumous George Cross. Nonetheless, these fine rank-and-file officers have been increasingly let down by a cadre of senior commanders whose dedication to advancing their politically-correct careers seems to exceed their dedication to upholding law and order.

These senior officers notoriously included the late Chief Constable Todd, whose unexplained death on Mount Snowdon — assumed to be suicide — generated national publicity. Todd was popular with his officers, but the sordid press revelations which accompanied his death cast doubt on his fitness to be a police officer at all, let alone Chief Constable of Britain’s second largest force.

Towards the end of Todd’s tenure as Chief Constable, Greater Manchester Police seemed to lose interest in ordinary policing, in favour of politically-motivated repression. The force adopted an increasingly anti-white stance, and pursued their policy of institutional discrimination against the BNP with an almost missionary zeal.

For example, in May 2007, with massive publicity, GMP launched a prolonged investigation into ludicrous allegations that off-duty police officers had been seen drinking with ‘BNP supporters’ outside a city centre pub on St George’s day. Predictably, the investigation failed to make any headway, but not before vast sums of taxpayers’ money had been wasted. (1)

Greater Manchester Police commanders seem to have a particular problem with Mancunians who dare to celebrate St George’s day. On St George’s day 2008, senior officers saw fit to authorise the baton-charging of exuberant St George’s day revellers in the city centre. The contrast with GMP’s kid glove treatment of overt criminality during Eid celebrations in the Rusholme district of the city has been widely noted.

Senator McCarthy himself would have been proud of Greater Manchester Police’s political witch-hunts. During the local election campaign of 2008, the Manchester Evening News ran a series of stories, seemingly sourced from Greater Manchester Police, describing GMP’s efforts to hound out officers suspected of harbouring political sympathy for the BNP. One officer who supposedly wore a union flag badge was ‘investigated’. Another officer who disclosed that he had purchased a copy of Voice of Freedom for research purposes was disciplined and transferred. The human right of free expression and free access to lawful newspapers obviously ceased to exist a long time ago in GMP! (2)

Most seriously of all, in the city of Manchester itself, Greater Manchester Police attempted to intervene directly in an election campaign. In the district of Blackley, where the BNP always commands more than a quarter of the vote, a senior police officer was quoted in a local newspaper warning about the BNP “latching onto” racism. This unprecedented intervention in party politics was made just three weeks before the local elections. (3)

BNP activists in Manchester suspect that the governing politburo of Greater Manchester Police might be very dismayed indeed if they grasped the true extent of BNP support among GMP officers in general, and sergeants and inspectors in particular. After all, it is these brave officers who deal day and night with the dreadful consequences of Manchester’s failed multicultural experiment, even as they are undermined and betrayed by their own senior commanders.

With Todd’s death, the people of Greater Manchester dared to hope for a return to traditional policing priorities, and a renewed commitment to upholding law and order. Sadly, it seems as if residents’ hopes have now been dashed. Todd’s replacement as the new Chief Constable of Greater Manchester is Peter Fahy, formerly Chief Constable of Cheshire and chair of the Association of Chief Police Officers’ so-called “Race & Diversity” unit.

Fahy’s main contribution to the national policing debate seems to be his call for overt discrimination against white police officers to be legalised. Fahy is reported to have said, “Clearly, if we are going to be held to account on particular targets based on representation, the only way we can meet that is through affirmative action … to take into account somebody’s ethnic background.” (4)

With all this in mind, it is no surprise that few Mancunians feel any sense of pride in their police, ‘gay’ or otherwise.

Largest circulation Freedom hits the streets this weekend

THIS weekend will see the largest circulation issue ever of Freedom hitting the streets.

100,000 copies of the British National Party’s monthly newspaper will be available to BNP units at attractive bulk rates as the Party launches its European Election campaign for 2009.

Alongside the special issue of Freedom will be the new full colour glossy recruitment leaflets which have been based on the old Where we Stand‘ mini-brochure and together the newspaper and leaflet will get the BNP up and running by mid-September for the most important nine months in nationalist history in Britain.

Issue No 98 of Freedom is a specially designed edition with the main purpose of recruiting new members and activists to our ranks in time for the big push next year.

The front page headline is “People just like you” with the strapline - “This is the REAL BNP” accompanying photographs from this year’s RWB Family Festival. Inside it is more of the same with many of the articles and reports featuring the ordinary, but dedicated, British people who form the bedrock of our Party.

Anyone reading this issue of Freedom will have their eyes opened as to what the BNP is really all about, and to the lies of those in the Labour, Conservative and Liberal-Democrat parties and their friends in the media who try to smear us in a desperate attempt to stem our growth.

Two full pages of “News to make your blood boil” exposes the extent to which our country is being taken away from us by corrupt politicians and will make the reader eager to do something about it, while the reports of the activities of BNP units across the country will show the reader that our Party is the only one prepared to take on those behind this betrayal.

Policies & Manifesto

British National Party Policies.

Download our 2007 Mini Manifesto here.

IMMIGRATION — time to say ENOUGH!

On current demographic trends, we, the native British people, will be an ethnic minority in our own country within sixty years.

To ensure that this does not happen, and that the British people retain their homeland and identity, we call for an immediate halt to all further immigration, the immediate deportation of criminal and illegal immigrants, and the introduction of a system of voluntary resettlement whereby those immigrants who are legally here will be afforded the opportunity to return to their lands of ethnic origin assisted by generous financial incentives both for individuals and for the countries in question.

We will abolish the ‘positive discrimination’ schemes that have made white Britons second-class citizens. We will also clamp down on the flood of ‘asylum seekers’, all of whom are either bogus or can find refuge much nearer their home countries.

EUROPE — back to British independence!

We are opposed to the Single European Currency, and support the overwhelming majority of the British people in their desire to keep the Pound and our traditional weights and measures. At the same time, we are for the best possible relationship with our European neighbours and believe that the nations of Europe should be free to trade and cooperate whenever it is mutually beneficial, though without being forced into a political and economic straitjacket – political unification. Accordingly, we stand for British withdrawal from the European Union. In place of the EU, we intend to aim towards greater national self-sufficiency, and to work to restore Britain’s family and trading ties with Australia, Canada and New Zealand, and to trade with the rest of the world as it suits us. Following our withdrawal from the EU, the BNP will use the £43 million per day net contribution Britain at present makes to the European Union to fund many far more useful projects at home.

LAW AND ORDER — crack down on crime!

The BNP will crack down on crime and restore public safety and confidence. We will free the police and courts from the politically correct straitjacket that is stopping them from doing their job properly. The liberal fixation with the ‘rights’ of criminals must be replaced by concern for the rights of victims, and the right of innocent people not to become victims. We support the re-introduction of corporal punishment for petty criminals and vandals, and the restoration of capital punishment for paedophiles, terrorists and murderers as an option for judges in cases where their guilt is proven beyond dispute, as by DNA evidence or being caught red-handed.

ECONOMY — British workers first!

Globalisation, with its export of jobs to the Third World, is bringing ruin and unemployment to British industries and the communities that depend on them. Accordingly, the BNP calls for the selective exclusion of foreign-made goods from British markets and the reduction of foreign imports. We will ensure that our manufactured goods are, wherever possible, produced in British factories, employing British workers. When this is done, unemployment in this country will be brought to an end, and secure, well-paid employment will flourish, at last getting our people back to work and ending the waste and injustice of having more than 4 million people in a hidden army of the unemployed concealed by Labour’s statistical fiddles. We further believe that British industry, commerce, land and other economic and natural assets belong in the final analysis to the British nation and people. To that end we will restore our economy and land to British ownership. We also call for preference in the job market to be given to native Britons. We will take active steps to break up the socially, economically and politically damaging monopolies now being established by the supermarket giants. Finally we will seek to give British workers a stake in the success and prosperity of the enterprises whose profits their labour creates by encouraging worker shareholder and co-operative schemes

EDUCATION — discipline, standards, achievement!

We are against the ‘trendy’ teaching methods that have made Britain one of the most poorly educated nations in Europe. We will end the practice of politically correct indoctrination in all its guises and we will restore discipline in the classroom, give authority back to teachers and put far greater emphasis on training young people in the industrial and technological skills necessary in the modern world. We will also seek to instill in our young people knowledge of and pride in the history, cultures and heritage of the native peoples of Britain.

AGRICULTURE — quality before quantity!

We see a strong, healthy agriculture sector as vital to the country. Britain’s farming industry will be encouraged to produce a much greater part of the nation’s need in food products. Priority will be switched from quantity to quality, as we move from competing in a global economy to maximum self-sufficiency for Britain. We will ensure a major shift to healthier and more sustainable organic farming. We are pledged to ensure the restoration of Britain’s once great fishing industry with the reimposition of the former exclusion zones around our coast.

HEALTH — first-class healthcare for all!

We are wholly committed to a free, fully funded National Health Service for all British citizens. We will revitalise the Health Service by boosting staff and bed numbers, slashing unnecessary bureaucracy and by addressing the root cause of low recruitment and retention — low pay. We will see to it that no money is given in foreign aid while our own hospitals are short of beds and the staff to run them. More emphasis must be placed on healthy living with greater understanding of sickness prevention through physical exercise, a healthier environment and improved diets.

TRANSPORT — time to invest!

Increased investment is needed in Britain’s public transport system to bring it up to the highest standards in the world. The fiasco of rail privatisation with different companies running services and track leading to higher fares and lower safety also needs to be resolved. Congestion of our towns and cities must be eased by the provision of greater incentives to use rail and bus transport instead of private cars. The first step is to end the crime and squalor that puts so many people off public transport. Motorists must not be made the scapegoats for government failure. Fuel tax should be cut, motorway speed limits raised, and hidden speed cameras should be banned. Far more must be done to encourage the development and use of cleaner fuels.

ENVIRONMENT — a cleaner, greener future!

Our ideal for Britain is that of a clean, beautiful country, free of pollution in all its forms. We will enforce standards to curb those practices, whether by business or the individual, which cause environmental damage. “The polluter pays to clean up the mess” must become a fact of life, not an electioneering slogan. In towns we would work to replace the brutalist modernism of 1960s-style-architecture with a blend of traditional local styles and materials and ensure that developments take place on a more human scale.

FOREIGN AID — time to spend our money on our own people!

We reject the idea that Britain must forever be obliged to subsidise the incompetence and corruption of Third World states by supplying them with financial aid. We will link foreign aid with our voluntary resettlement policy, whereby those nations taking significant numbers of people back to their homelands will need cash to help absorb those returning. The billions of pounds saved every year by this policy will also be reallocated to vital services in Britain.

PENSIONERS — pensioners before asylum seekers!

The conditions in which many of Britain’s old people are forced to live are a national disgrace. We are pledged to ensure that all our old folk are able to live in comfortable homes, and will restore the earnings link with pensions. Elderly people who have paid a lifetime of taxes and reared families should not have to sell their homes to pay for care.

NORTHERN IRELAND — an end to sectarianism!

Britain has shamefully allowed the terrorists in Northern Ireland to come close to winning when the IRA could have been destroyed years ago. Government weakness has led to hundreds of deaths and given those same terrorists a share in government. We would end all attempts to force the people of Northern Ireland to accept foreign interference in their affairs and deal with terrorism — from whatever side — once and for all. No one with links to a terrorist organisation that refuses to lay down its arms should be allowed to enter government. We would abolish state-supported segregation in education. In the long run, we wish to end the conflict in Ireland by welcoming Eire as well as Ulster as equal partners in a federation of the nations of the British Isles.

DEFENCE — no more cuts!

Successive cuts in defence spending have left Britain’s armed forces perilously weak. We will boost Britain’s armed forces to ensure that they are able to deal with any emergency, and defend our homeland and our independence. We will bring our troops back from Germany and withdraw from NATO, since recent political developments make both commitments obsolete. We will close all foreign military bases on British soil, and refuse to risk British lives in meddling ‘peace-keeping’ missions in parts of the world where no British interests are at stake — a position of armed neutrality. We will also restore national service for our young with the option of civil or military service.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS — Britain’s interests first!

Britain’s foreign relations should be determined by the protection of our own national interest and not by our like or dislike of other nations’ internal politics. We would have no quarrel with any nation that does not threaten British interests. We will maintain an independent foreign policy of our own, and not a spineless subservience to the USA, the ‘international community’, or any other country.

DEMOCRACY — letting the people decide!

The British people invented modern Parliamentary democracy. Yet in recent years the British people have been denied their democratic rights. On issue after issue, the views of the majority of British people have been ignored and overridden by a Politically Correct ‘elite’ which thinks it knows best. On immigration, on Capital Punishment, on the surrender of British sovereignty to the EU and in numerous other areas, democracy has been absent as Labour, Tories and Lib-Dems conspire in election after election to offer the British people no real choice on such vital issues. The BNP exists to give the British people that choice, and thus to restore and defend the basic democratic rights we have all been denied. We favour more democracy, not less, not just at national but at regional and local level.

Power should be devolved to the lowest level possible so that local communities can make decisions which affect them. We will remove legal curbs on freedom of speech imposed by successive Governments over the last 40 years. We will implement a Bill of Rights guaranteeing fundamental freedoms to the British people. We will ensure that ordinary British people have real democratic power over their own lives and that Government, local and national, is truly accountable to the people who elect it.

The Union Flag

August 31, 2008 by News Team  
Filed under Scotland


On January 1st 2001 it was the 200th Anniversary of the UK.’s most visible symbol, the Union Flag. Unveiled to coincide with the Union of the British and Irish Parliaments, it combines the flags of St Andrew, St George and St Patrick. Unique in its inclusive design, the Union Flag has symbolised our British heritage and traditions throughout the world. As a national emblem it has proudly flown on every continent. People of every race, creed and colour have been privileged to become citizens of our nation and to claim the Union Flag as their own. They have done so because of the democratic principles enshrined within it and because it champions freedom. Countless men and women have been proud to serve under the flag in armed forces, which have played a major part in safeguarding our world during two World Wars, and countless other wars and conflicts. The Union Flag has been prominent at the formation of major international organisations such as the United Nations, NATO and the Commonwealth. Within the Commonwealth there are several national flags which incorporate the Union Flag into their design to maintain the link within their heritage whilst moving forward into a new mature national independence.

The Union Flag is a truly outstanding, internationally recognised symbol of our national heritage. It is a priceless logo in the promotion of the U.K. Yet we are now being asked to believe that in our multicultural, post imperial, Euro-centred nation that we should no longer take pride in our national flag. Travelling abroad it is refreshing to see public and commercial buildings as well as private homes “flying” their national flag. In every nation in the world citizens take pride in their national flag. At all sorts of gatherings, both national and international, flags are flown to greet and to identify the participants whether these are individual athletes or Heads of State.
 
At sporting events, trade gatherings, political summits and on official visits as well as important historical dates people throughout the world take a pleasure and pride in displaying their national banners. In the U.S.A the citizens pledge their allegiance to the flag and although this is a very large and diverse nation, wherever you travel you will find the stars and stripes proudly flying often alongside the national flags from the immigrant Americans’ mother countries.

In many parts of the world it is an offence to show disrespect to the national flag and yet in the U.K., the home of democracy, we are being encouraged to believe that the Union Flag is outdated or that it is divisive because it has been hijacked by extremists and therefore should be replaced.
 
During the visit of the Irish Prime Minister, Bertie Ahern to the Scottish Parliament, veteran Nationalist Winnie Ewing was so enraged by the sight of the Union Flag, displayed alongside the Saltire and the Irish Tricolour, that she described the flag of the United Kingdom as an insult” to Mr. Ahern and both the Scottish and Irish peoples.
 
Such fanatical outbursts and hatred of the Union Flag echo the similar bigoted rantings from Republican Nationalists in Ireland. Her outrageous comments are without doubt offensive to the vast majority of Scots but are never the less the norm from the mouthpieces of the S.N.P.

Remember November 1999 when the leader of that party, Alex Salmond, got himself all agitated by the sight of the Union Flag on the flag pole of Inverness Castle and refused to pose for a photograph in front of the castle.
 
Again on the very next day, the finance spokesman, Andrew Wilson, said “the Union Flag is an offensive symbol which doesnít refer to anything other than colonialism and the worst aspects of what is happening in Northern Ireland.”
 
He was backed by the party treasurer, Ian Blackford, who stated that “Britain has little relevance for the people of this country.” Many thousands of Scots fought and died under the Union Flag in two World Wars to secure the freedoms that allow Ewing, Salmon and Wilson to spew out their bile and extreme divisiveness.
 
 
With thanks to the Scottish Unionist Party with who, apart from immigration, we have much in common.

Vale of Glamorgan Show Success for BNP

Once again the British National Party had a political stall at the Vale of Glamorgan agricultural show held on the 20th August. For the third year running the BNP have had a stall at this prestigious event held annually at Fonmon Castle in the Vale of Glamorgan.

As ever, courtesy of the British weather, everyone was ankle deep in good old Welsh mud, with at times torrential rain, so much rain in fact that as the day progressed we had to cover the tent roof with a tarpaulin to keep the water out and our stock of party literature dry.

Nonetheless, several hundred Voice of Freedom papers, along with a large number of Identity magazines, as well as around five hundred leaflets, were handed out. The vast majority were pleased to see us there, some remembering us from last year, others indicated an interest in coming to future meetings.

Pictured are BNP representatives from the Vale of Glamorgan, Swansea, and Newport groups, who braved the poor weather conditions to attend the event.

BNP Make Huge Breakthrough at Pembrokeshire Show

Filed under National News

The British National Party in Wales has broken new ground with its first ever appearance at the famous Pembrokeshire Show, where a well-positioned stand attracted huge interest from the passing public, who were happy to meet the real people who make up the BNP.

Over 3,000 free copies of the British National Party’s monthly newspaper, The Voice of Freedom, were distributed to an eager public at the Haverfordwest, rural West Wales show, over the two days. A brisk trade was also carried out in mugs and badges, supplied by Excalibur, the party’s merchandising arm.

No less than fourteen members of the public joined up on the spot and have pledged to become activists as well.

Pictured alongside are the BNP’s two South Wales Councillors — Kevin Edwards and Watcyn Richards.

Special thanks go to Michael Green, our West Wales Fundholder, for the image and for keeping our representatives in line when they wanted to wander off to the fudge stall.

This is the first time, ever, that the British National Party has been represented at the Show. Even though the weather was diabolical, our representatives were delighted by the amount of interest shown by the public in the British National Party — unlike the permanently empty tents of the Labour and Conservative Parties.

BNP’s Dennis Pearce Unbowed as Media Try to Character Assassinate Him

August 24, 2008 by BNP News  
Filed under National News

Proud BNP member, activist and candidate, Dennis Pearce has shrugged off a People newspaper attempt to character assassinate him after it emerged that he is the brother of England soccer legend and under-21 England team manager Stuart Pearce.

Dennis, 56, told the People newspaper: “I back the BNP’s manifesto completely. The country is full up. There’s too many people here. It’s time to shut the door on immigrants. Immigration isn’t helping crime rates drop, that’s for sure. I served in the Army. It was about fighting communism, because communists stopped freedom of speech. I’m fighting for the same with the BNP. This is a Christian country. Islam is not compatible with this country.”

Dennis is a passionate campaigner for the BNP. He stood for the party at the London Assembly elections in May and hopes to be a general election candidate.

Recently he was at the BNP’s Red, White and Blue rally with Nick Griffin.

He said: “I’ve met Nick about half-a-dozen times. At Red, White and Blue I complimented him on the hog roast. He’d brought a pig from his farm for us to eat. His wife Jackie cooked us a roast dinner.”

Stuart, Dennis and their brother Ray grew up in North London. Dennis went on: “Stuart and I are very close and I see him regularly. I’ve always supported his football career and I’m proud of what he’s achieved. I’ve been to his house in Wiltshire to see him and his wife many times. The last time I saw him was at a concert by The Police in Hyde Park a few months ago. It was a great day out.”

The former engineer lives with his wife and two of his three children in Brent, North West London. He was in the Territorial Army, as a colour sergeant in the Royal Green Jackets.

The People newspaper invented a batch of derogatory quotes from the usual ‘unnamed sources’ (i.e. made up in the newsroom) but nothing will sway Dennis from his mission to help save Britain.

Labour are the Real Nazis

August 20, 2008 by Martin Wingfield  
Filed under Martin Wingfield

IT was quite an incredible scene. People dressed in black, with their faces masked by scarves, using car tyres to barricade a road and then stoning the police as they tried to remove the obstruction. There was the sound of sirens as police reinforcements arrived. There were the scuffles as 33 arrests were made. There was the beat of the blades of the police helicopter as this ‘eye in the sky’ tracked another breakaway group of troublemakers hellbent on causing disruption.

And all the while, a queue of law-abiding British men and women, many with their children, waited patiently in their cars for the road to be cleared so that they could attend the annual gathering of the political party they support.

Labour Party thugs, goaded on by Labour MP Judy Mallaber and trade union boss Bob Crow, and transported from all corners of the country thanks to trade union and Labour Party funding, were trying to deny the right of assembly to members and supporters of an opposition political party by violence and intimidation.

Thankfully our television news bulletins and newspapers captured the scenes and, with just a couple of exceptions, reported accurately what had taken place. It will be a wake-up call for many, to see the sort of violent confrontation our Government not only sanctions but actively encourages.

For over five years the British National Party has had to bear the brunt of a series of attacks from this Labour Government. There have been the blatant frontal assaults such as the scenes just described and the campaign of intimidation and hate, including death threats, directed against our elected councillors.

There has been the attempt to imprison our Party’s leadership as seen by the trumped up ‘race hate’ charges filed against Nick Griffin and Mark Collett, which were thrown out by the jury at Leeds Crown Court.

There has been the more subtle persecution of individual members who have lost their jobs as teachers, in the health service and working for local councils. There has been the targeting of those seeking employment within the police and prison service, who have been blacklisted, even if they have outstanding credentials for the job, solely because of their membership of the BNP.

At election time, our candidates have their campaigns interfered with by thousands of illegal leaflets - full of lies about the BNP - that are openly delivered by members of the Labour Party. And even when the time comes for the votes to be counted, ballot boxes have been broken into by Labour Party officials and BNP votes have been defaced to make them invalid as was seen at the London Assembly elections in June 2004.

When the history of these times comes to be written, many of those people with influence within our society today will have to hang their heads in shame. That is because they have stood by and allowed, without one word of criticism, a Government Party to act like a Third World dictatorship in its persecution of an opposition party and its members.

And the greatest irony of it all is that Gordon Brown and his bullyboys have the cheek to call us ‘nazis and fascists’, when all the while it is they that are denying freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of political choice by implementing the methods of the stormtroopers Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

Solidarity Trade Union Vows to Overturn Suspensions

August 13, 2008 by BNP News  
Filed under National News

The Solidarity trade union has vowed to overturn the illegal and disgraceful suspension of three of its members from a Wolverhampton company - done at the apparent instigation of the extremist leftist trade union Unite, which objected to its members quitting to join the only truly pro-British worker union.

The three workers were the subject of a smear campaign launched by Unite, and culminated in the employer, Sita Suez, suspending the men simply because of their membership of Solidarity, and no other reason.

“This is a grave assault on the rights of every worker in Britain,” said Pat Harrington, general secretary of Solidarity. “Sita Suez should be aware that everyone in the UK has the right to join a trade union. This is an absolute right and discrimination against, or harassment of, a worker because of his or her membership or non-membership of a trade union is treated very seriously by the Courts.”

Solidarity, an officially registered union, has the identical legal status - and protection - in this regard as any other union, Pat continued. “If someone chooses to leave Unite and join Solidarity that is a matter for that person alone, and nothing to do with anybody else, especially not the employer.”

“That Unite has sought to involve the bosses in this matter shames them,” he said. “Like their fascist NuLab masters, the union bureaucrats have lost touch with their original roots and values. They are a distortion of everything for which the early trade unionists stood. They have become so twisted that now they (a union, mind you!) call for action by the bosses against people for joining another union!”

After it became clear that Unite was losing members on site to Solidarity, an email from Unite was sent to the Sita Suez bosses containing a number of untrue and highly defamatory allegations. It also contained the implied threat that the business interests of Sita Suez would suffer if they did not take action against members of Solidarity.

Solidarity will, of course, take this case to the highest legal avenues open to it if need be, and if the ultra-left think that they can get away with this, they have another thing coming, said Pat. “We will leave no stone unturned in this matter.”

“What this shows is that the old trade unions are now clearly in the hands of extremist fascists who will stop at nothing to maintain control of the workplace, casting aside democracy and freedom of expression without so much as a second look,” he said.

It is impossible for the employer to win any legal action resulting from this case. Trade Union rights are protected by UK law and International Treaty. Solidarity is pushing for the three men to be reinstated as quickly as possible. That is where you can help.

Sign the online petition here and defend the rights of the ‘Willenhall 3′.

Call or fax Sita Suex and politely inform them that we live in a democracy which upholds the rights of trade unionists. Warn them of the legal consequences of their highly illegal action and that if they wish to avoid a long and damaging court case, the three men need to be reinstated at once.

BNP Exclusive - Government Grovelling to Muslims Opens School Doors to Extremists

August 12, 2008 by BNP News  
Filed under National News

New government policy which was ostensibly aimed at allowing “moderate” Muslims into all British schools to counter “Islamophobia” has been revealed to be a hoax by a BNP investigation.

After promises to ensure that only “moderate” imams would be send to British schools, a Freedom of Information Act request by the BNP has shown that:

* There is absolutely no vetting on any Islamic preachers invited into British schools; criminal or otherwise;

* No record is being kept, either centrally or locally, of which Imams are to be invited and which are not;

* It is up to the local teachers themselves to define what constitutes “radical Islam” - leaving them open to accusations of “racism” if they should be choosy in who they invite.

It was reported earlier this year that schools are to “be enlisted in the fight against home-grown terrorism” with plans for Imams to be sent into schools to steer children away from radicalisation. The government’s purposes, it was announced, was to encourage “non-Muslim children to experience and regard Islam in a more ‘positive light’ than that presented in the allegedly ‘Islamophobic’ media.”

As part of this plan, the appropriately-named Schools Secretary, Ed Balls, unveiled a guidance policy, supposedly developed with the Home Office and Department for Communities and Local Government. This policy allegedly showed schools, police and local authorities how they can work together to combat terrorism and combat ‘Islamaphobia.’

The plan to allow imams into schools forms a central part of this strategy, and the policy issued by Balls et. al. demanded that British-born Imams be allowed to go into schools and give citizenship lessons regarding Islam to children.

In the propaganda blitz which accompanied the release of this policy document, it was stated that Islamic clerics invited into schools “would be vetted to ensure they do not hold radical views.”

This latter claim has now been revealed to have been a total lie.

The BNP have been assisting parents who have been investigating the so called ‘Citizenship Lessons’ and what we have discovered should alarm all parents.

Using Freedom Of Information Act requests, sent to schools asking for details of how this policy will work, we discovered that:

1) Islamic scholars invited into schools to lecture children during citizenship lessons are not be required to undergo criminal record checks for anything - be it convictions for paedophilia, violence, terrorism etc.

2) Imams invited in schools do not undergo any pre-assessment by the Police or by the Department of Children, Schools and Families with regard to possible links with terrorism, terrorist groups, or if they are linked too, or are supporters of, terrorist groups.

3) Imams invited into schools will not be monitored as per the content of the lessons they give to children. Nor do schools have a duty to ensure so called ‘moderate’ imams are not peddling extremist propaganda to the children during citizenship lessons.

This is particularly relevant in the light of a survey of Muslim opinion in Britain, undertaken by NOP Research in 2006, showed that 25% of all “British” Muslims believe that the London underground bombings of July 2005 were justified; that 30% said they would prefer to live under Sharia (Islamic religious) law; and that 28% hope for the U.K. one day to become a fundamentalist Islamic state.

4) No central register is held by the government or by any schools. There is no requirement for centralised monitoring of any persons invited into schools. The schools have no duty to ensure that the Imams they invite into the schools are ‘moderate’ Imams.

5) Schools have not been provided by The Department For Children, Schools and Families with any definition of what constitutes ‘Islamic extremism.’ It is therefore up to individual teachers to define for themselves what ‘Islamic extremism’ constitutes.

What this means in practical terms is that any teacher who objects to any particular imam will immediately be labelled ‘Islamophobic’ or ‘racist’ and thus they will not object out of fear of the politically correct Gestapo.

This is a scandalous state of affairs. The fact that any individuals are being allowed to go into schools and have direct access to young children from the age of eleven without having to undergo a rigorous police criminal record check is a clear breach of the duty of care owed to our children.

The fact that imams do not have to be vetted to ensure that they themselves are not convicted terrorists, supporters of terrorism or linked with Islamic extremism is an act of utter idiocy.

We in the BNP suggest that parents write to their schools and make a formal protest about these issues. Unless we all complain and act to put pressure on the schools and government then our children may be put at risk.

Why don’t you contact Ed Balls at his official email address ed@edballs.com and let him know what you think?
