Copeland.

Malcolm Southward manning the weekly stall in Whitehaven Market Place.

Clive Jefferson our National Elections officer handed over the rains of the very suspenseful Copeland Branch of the British National Party to Malcolm Southward on Tuesday night at a well attended joint meeting of Copeland and Allerdale in their regular venue.

A hard working nationalist Malcolm deserves his promotion to Organiser after helping to establish the Copeland group as a serious force in local politics. He has been Branch secretary since 2009 and is now working tirelessly with the dedicated Copeland activists, canvassing the target wards for the up coming local elections where we are very well placed to make the break through after many years of sustained effort.

Phil Holmes now holds the purse strings as fund holder taking over from the very successful tenure of Kevin Hurst.

"The Copeland team is rock solid and I will be proud to stand as a candidate and help the push for seats with the team this year" Clive told British National Party news. "It is a good move for the group as my time is taken with central party work and the elections department and Malcolm will take the group to the next level"

A just conclusion to the events that led me to stand for election and become a Parish Councillor.
.
Of interest I had a most interesting meeting of the Broughton Council tonight where I was "told" that I could not write letters bearing the Signature:

Councillor Clive Jefferson
Broughton Parish Council.

They had a most interesting take on the standing orders of councillors that say that no member should make statements for the Council without it going through the chair and the council. No problem, that is how it should be. The problem I have with this issue is my letter was clearly a personal one all be it written by a Councillor.

Do you think the content had anything to do with it being singled out for "special treatment"? Decide for your self. In fact I think I should .......write a letter about it.

Derek Adams talks to Simon Darby about recent events.

The Day Democracy Died in Oldham.

The Day Democracy Died in Oldham: British National Party's Derek Adams Physically Removed by Police from Hustings.

The British National Party’s candidate in the Oldham East and Saddleworth by-election, Derek Adams, was physically removed from his seat at a public election hustings today by police after Labour Party fascists objected to his presence.

Derek Adams sitting in his seat at the Oldham Hustings table -- before the Labour Party objected.Mr Adams, accompanied by party manager Adam Walker and a small group of activists, attended the Millgate Arts Centre in Oldham, which was scheduled to start at 2.30 pm.

“Mr Adams had booked into the hustings and had tickets for himself and the team,” Clive Jefferson, British National Party national organiser reported.

“Mr Adams and his team went as planned and they were allowed entry without any trouble at all.

“Everything appeared to be going normally and the venue was full with a large media contingent present,” Mr Jefferson said.

As can be seen in the picture alongside, Mr Adams took his seat at the table and several of the other candidates came in and sat down next to him.

“It was then that a Labour Councillor told Mr Adams he could not sit with the other candidates and that he had to leave,” Mr Jefferson continued.

“Mr Adams is not a man to be bullied or ordered about during his election campaign by anyone, and certainly not the Labour Party.

“He quite rightly told the Labour lackey that he was a candidate in the by-election, this was a hustings and he was going nowhere.”

The hustings start was then held up as the Labour councillor called the police who then told Mr Adams that the "event organiser" wanted him to leave.

“Mr Adams very calmly said that he was not prepared to leave just because the Labour Party objected, and said that it was an ‘absolute outrage.’

“The police officer then went outside and came back with six of his colleagues. They surrounded Mr Adams, physically dragged him from his seat and marched him out,” Mr Jefferson said.

Mr Walker then stood up and told the hustings crowd that “democracy is clearly dead in Oldham.

“If they wanted more paedophile gangs of Muslims preying on our children in Oldham all they had to do was keep voting for the likes of those politicians left on the stage,” Mr Walker said, before leading a walkout of the party’s supporters in the crowd.

Adam Walker and Derek Adams outside the hustings hall.“Outside the police apologised to Mr Adams, saying that they ‘were just doing their job.’

“The reality is of course that they had just destroyed the democratic right of the elections hustings crowd to hear all the candidates,” Mr Jefferson added.

“Our team of patriots mobilised their tannoys and staged a peaceful but noisy demonstration outside the hustings and had their say despite the worst efforts of the political establishment to silence the British National Party.”

Mr Adams also did a very powerful interview on today's Politics Show which went out live.

“Our man did us proud,” Mr Jefferson said.

“He got over the hard-hitting facts about the grooming of our young white children in Oldham and elsewhere, and that our chairman, Nick Griffin, has been put on trial for trying to bring this issue to the public’s attention in 2005.

“The interview was at that point cut short,” Mr Jefferson said.

“Mr Adams had however made his point. Everyone watching noticed the interview being terminated when it was not to the liking of the BBC.”

“I believe that our message offers hope to the people of Oldham,” Mr Adams said.

“We offer hope to all those who feel that they are neglected and ignored by the corrupt Political Class.

“I am determined that our message will reach them to show that someone cares about their concerns and problems,” Mr Adams said.

“I speak from my heart and I am passionate about this campaign. I want you to feel the same way and help me reach out to our people in Oldham and Saddleworth.”

"Our candidate and our volunteers from all over the country are doing us proud in this election,” he continued.

“But we still have four more days to go and we need to keep the momentum up right through to 10pm on Thursday night.

"So please do not think we have done enough. The hysterical actions today at the hustings show us exactly how scared they are that our message is hitting home.

“The last week is set to be the most important of the full campaign. Join other activists to help Mr Adams secure a strong BNP vote,” Mr Jefferson said.

Oldham today.....................

The ground war has begun in earnest in the Oldham East and Saddleworth by-election.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/dec/28/oldham-east-saddleworth-byelection
.
The ground war has begun in earnest in the Oldham East and Saddleworth campaign.
.
Our candidate Derek Adams and National Elections Officer Clive Jefferson took to the streets today, with activists from the North West, for a mammoth 6 hour leafleting session.
.
“Spirits were high, as well as getting out thousands of leaflets, Voice of Freedom newspapers and copies of Hope and Glory we had a great reaction from the people of Oldham, which never fails to put a spring in your step.” Derek told BNP News.
.
Mr Adams went on to say “the Liverpool contingent had made CDs for the loud hailers, election sound bites mixed in with our war drums and patriotic music. The overall effect of the mass literature drop and the sound system left no one in any doubt that the British National Party are in this election and fighting hard!”
.
Clive Jefferson reported increased media interest today with Derek being booked for three radio interviews next week and the Politics Show on the Sunday before poll. The campaign is starting to gain momentum and the interest of the mass media.
.
Clive said, “The preparations and procedures must be done correctly in every election, Parliamentary elections more so, but we are a grass roots party and are always at our best on the streets, interacting with our fellow countrymen.”
.
“Throughout the full day, we only encountered two, very deflated and lost looking Conservatives with no other parties or literature anywhere to be seen. UKIP have a lovely office in the centre of the ward, so nice in fact that they never actually leave it and do any real work. They will revert to type, relying on money and the media to fight their election for them.”
.
With teams still fully engaged in preparing the literature for the Royal Mail post out and the ground offensive begun in earnest - all during the Christmas holiday period - we are out of the starting blocks, up and running but we now need your help in the final two weeks of this snap election.

The Oldham East and Saddleworth by-election....is on!

Ten candidates to contest by-election
.
Published on Mon Dec 27 13:26:34 GMT 2010
.
Ten candidates will contest the Oldham East and Saddleworth by-election following Thursday's close of nominations.
.
British National Party leader Nick Griffin was reported as seeking to stand in the campaign but will not do so with Manchester activist Derek Adams selected to fight the seat.
.
The January 13 poll is viewed as the first major test of how the coalition Government of the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats intend to campaign against each other in the country. The contest was triggered by a court decision annulling the general election result from May, when Lib Dem candidate Elwyn Watkins missed out on the seat by just 103 votes.
.
It was declared void by an election court last month which found that victorious Labour candidate Phil Woolas had made false statements about Mr Watkins. Although Mr Watkins is Labour's nearest challenger, the constituency was a three-way marginal in May with Conservative Kashif Ali - who is standing again - less than 2,500 votes behind.
.
Since then, the Lib Dems' fortunes have plummeted in national polls, suggesting any advances made by the Tories in Oldham East and Saddleworth will put paid to Mr Watkins' hopes of winning.
.
David Cameron has raised eyebrows by wishing Mr Watkins well in the January 13 poll, fuelling suspicions that Tories are not planning to mount a serious challenge. However, Mr Cameron stressed this week that he would be visiting the constituency to campaign in person - a rare event for a prime minister.
.
Deputy Prime Minister and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg visited the constituency on Wednesday, saying his party was fighting for "every single vote".
.
Labour has selected Debbie Abrahams as its candidate for the by-election. Candidates from a range of smaller parties, including the Green Party, the BNP and the UK Independence Party were also confirmed.
.
The Flying Brick, otherwise known as Nick Delves, will stand for the Monster Raving Loony Party.
.
The full list of candidates in alphabetical order are: Debbie Abrahams (Labour); Derek Adams (British National Party); Kashif Ali (Conservative); Peter Allen (Green Party); David Bishop (Bus-Pass Elvis Party); The Flying Brick (Monster Raving Loony Party); Loz Kaye (Pirate Party of the United Kingdom); Stephen Morris (English Democrats); Paul Nuttall (UK Independence Party); Elwyn Watkins (Liberal Democrats).

REMEMBRANCE DAY – BRITAIN 2010
MUSLIMS BURN OUR POPPIES, SPIT ON OUR SOLDIERS AND DISRUPT THE TWO MINUTE SILENCE
WE SAY: “THEY HAVE CROSSED THE LINE – ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”
.
No doubt, like all right-thinking people you were outraged at press pictures of Muslim lunatics burning the Poppy and interrupting the two minute silence to honour our war dead. These people spit on the memory of all those who suffered in wars to maintain our freedom and independence. Those who endured the Blitz, who fought in foreign lands to keep our land safe, the victims of Nazi oppression who we helped to save. To the fanatics this counts for nothing. They are blinded by a hatred of our history and values.

.

To us the Poppy is a symbol of national unity. When we look at it we remember and take pride in the sacrifice of our forebears, relatives, friends and loved ones who made sacrifices on our behalf. To our soldiers it is a time to remember fallen comrades fondly.

Muslim fanatics are not like us. When they look at the Poppy they see a symbol of their enemy, a symbol of the values they despise and reject. They destroy the Poppy but really it is the values that it represents that they truly wish to trample on and destroy – our values.
We need to take our country back… NOW!
.

The British National Party understands their motivation and desires. We see clearly their purpose and have no illusions. The Political Class believe that these people can be appeased or absorbed but we realise that this will never happen. Muslim fanatics cannot be bargained with or bought off. They see this only as a sign of weakness, of decadence.
.

“Our phones have not stopped ringing since last week It has been one of the busiest times I can remember since the historic victory of our two MEPs. People are just so angry at the sight of Muslim extremists burning Poppies and insulting our war dead. They are calling to join and donate because they say that only the British National Party is strong enough to oppose these fanatics.”
.

- Office Manager Jen Matthys

.
There is only one political party that has the strength of will and purpose to defend against these wicked people with their twisted views . Only the British National Party can defend our culture, values and identity from Muslim aggression and Estblishment surrender.
We are fighting for the very survival of our nation and our children’s future.
.

Deep down ordinary folk, folk like you realise that we need champions to stand up for our rights and way of life You realise that the Political Class has long ago abandoned any pretence that they care about us ordinary Britons. Hard working decent folk like you are at the very bottom of their list of priorities. The Political Class is as twisted as the Muslims fundamentalists they court and pander to.

Policy review pledges shift.......

Click on image to view.

.

That is a most interesting way of putting it, "Policy review pledges shift".

.

In plain English the Minister is not going to uphold his election pledges as I proved when questioning him, this is the way of politics now, a huge U turn and an utter betrayal of what was promised and it gets a small section in the planning media. We must keep challenging these people when and wherever we can.

Trip to the European Parliament.

A total of 92 Trafalgar Club and British National Party LIFE members have recently returned from a two night trip to Belgium, where they stayed at the picturesque city of Bruges, paid their respects to our war heroes at the Menin Gate at Ypres, and visited the European Parliament in Brussels with our two British National Party MEPs.

The trip began (very) early on Wednesday, with two luxury coaches picking up guests along the way. A special thank you must go to the Scottish contingent who set off at 10pm the night before in order to get to the pick -point for 3am!

On Thursday morning, Armistice Day, the group met under the (wet) shadow of the magnificent Belfry tower in Bruges and held a two minute silence as the bells fell silence in memory of our fallen heroes from wars past and present.

Thursday afternoon was a chance for the delegation to enjoy the sights, tastes and smells of Bruges, and to sample the local beers. This was followed by a formal dinner for the Trafalgar Club and some LIFE members of the Party, and was attended by Mr Griffin and Mr Brons MEPs, who both gave short speeches before the group rejoined the other trip attendees and boarded the coaches to Ypres.

Arriving in Ypres at the Menin Gate; which is the Memorial to the Missing 55,000 British, Dominion and Empire soldiers who were killed in the Ypres Salient of World War I and whose graves are unknown, but who’s names are carved across the gate, on the evening of the 11th November, the delegation attended the moving nightly 8pm playing of the Last Post, a tradition that has carried on almost without interruption since 1928. Following the Last Post, and a special Armistice Day ceremony, three wreaths were laid, one on behalf of the Trafalgar Club, one on behalf of the Party, and a personal one by Nick Griffin MEP.

On return from Ypres, the group was serenaded with a piano performance from one of the younger members on the trip, Matt Tait. Despite claiming to be a little out of practice Matt impressed everyone that was listening, and gave a very special feeling to the end of an emotional and wet day.

It was an early start on Friday in order to get to the European Parliament building in Brussels in good time for the guided tour and introduction to the inner workings of the Parliament, followed by further explanations from our very own two MEPs of their roles within the Parliament. The trip was rounded off by a very enjoyable group lunch in the Parliament canteen before we boarded the two coaches back to the UK.

A collection was held for assistance in filling Christmas Boxes for our troops and raised just over £500. Mr Griffin stated that he would match this figure, ensuring that the British National Party will be able to send more than £1,000 worth of Christmas gifts to our hero troops who are away from their families at this most poignant time of year.

In order that you can be informed and invited on future similar trips, why not join the British National Party as a Trafalgar Club member on a yearly membership for £249 for the year.

On our streets, protected by our police!

Dear Sir,

On Thursday 11th November, Remembrance Day, I was with a delegation from the North West accompanying our North West MEP Nick Griffin to lay poppy wreaths at the Menin Gate memorial in Ypres, Belgium where we attended the moving nightly 8 pm playing of the Last Post, a tradition that has carried on almost without interruption since 1928.

The Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing is a war memorial dedicated to the commemoration of British and Commonwealth soldiers who were killed in the Ypres Salient of World War 1 and whose graves are unknown The soldiers names and regiments are carved on to every surface of the monument. The memorial is located at the eastern exit of the town and marks the starting point for one of the main roads out of the town that led Allied soldiers to the front line. It was a deeply moving experience and reading the tens of thousands of names on the walls it puts into prospective the huge sacrifices this country has made to preserve our freedoms and protect our people.

Sacrifices that continue to this day as our best and bravest still fight overseas for Queen and country.

On returning home I am shocked and saddened at learning of the terrible event in Kensington, West London this week. I am utterly dismayed and disgusted that the group "Muslims against Crusades" burnt poppies in the street as a protest against the British tradition of remembrance day.

Each poppy is worn to represent the memory of a fallen soldier. It is utterly disgusting that these people have the audacity to disrupt such a sacred ceremony yet demand that we understand and accept their culture.

I also request that you take this moment to reflect upon the fact that we are still sending brave men and women into harms way.
Those brave men and women on the front line will be deeply saddened to learn that back home people are being allowed to oppose and insult the memory of their fallen comrades and others before them in this way and they will ask quite rightly what is being done about this outrage?

We are forced to see such thing pass and the politicians of this country do little or nothing to stop the mounting outrages against our troops by an ever increasing militant and openly aggressive element of those who are followers of Islam.

It is past time for the authorities to stop these mounting outrages and arrest, jail or deport these criminals for defiling the nation and the people that have welcomed them and given them safe haven.

The Politicians in Planning Network

The Politicians in Planning Network (known as PIPA) aims to influence planning policies and to press decision-makers to address current planning-related issues effectively. Members of PIPA play an important part in developing policy, knowledge and good practice.

.
The PIPA Conference 2010 held in Sheffield on Saturday 6 November was a great success with both Minister Bob Neill (pictured above) and British National Party Councillor Clive Jefferson (Pictured top of article) debating the contents of the Decentralisation & Localism Bill about to be published. The theme for the 2010 Conference was Planning & Localism: Delivering Community Aspirations.
.

Cllr Jefferson challenged the Minister in the questions and answer session asking the Minister for clarification on several of the most controversial aspects of the bill which the Minister didn't mention in his briefing.

Cllr Jefferson asked; “Will you be fulfilling your election promise and introducing the rights of appeal for third parties, individual citizens as appose the current system which costs on average £750,000 for a judicial review to challenge a planning application?”

.
“Will you be enforcing the absolute requirement for planning consent to be the first action taken and achieved before any development takes place, stopping the disgraceful practice of councils giving certain groups in our community “retrospective planning permission”
.

And finally Cllr Jefferson asked if the Minister was going to help all the planning graduates get places in local government as currently thousands of planning graduates are faced with having to pay back up to £50,000 in tuition fees if they do not work for a local authority for two years within five years of graduating. Several graduates have contacted me and asked me to highlight the fact that graduates are unable to even get voluntary places in local government and are now facing bankruptcy before their careers even begin!”
.

The Minister had no answers to any of the above.
.

Cllr Jefferson told BNP news “Minister Bob Neill, having his hands on the levers of power now, attaining ministerial rank on promises to deal with these vital issues has totally failed his electorate and will not be allowing third party appeals, will not stop retrospective planning being granted and will do absolutely nothing to help the planning graduates. This is just typical of the current coalition government, refusing one election pledge after another and people are suffering because of it. It was a long drive to Sheffield and back from Cumbria but it was worth it to expose this man and to challenge him on the real issues in planning not the tame staged questions he was enjoying before I was given the floor.”

.
Clive then had lunch with the minister and had a lively debate about equality and treating everyone with fairness and tolerance.

.
“I confess that I took some pleasure in guiding the conversation down this route for 30 minutes before telling the minister that I was in fact the National Organiser of the British National Party!”

.
An amused Mr Jefferson told BNP News that the information didn't sit well with the minister who made a derogatory comment about the party and left the table and the university. What a shame Minister Neill could not show tolerance and equality to a rival political party, some would call that hypocrisy, Mr Jefferson concluded.

.
NOTE: A sound file of the showdown will be available soon.

.

The Coalitions "big society" is a sham and has proven to be lame and lackluster on the real issues, just like Mr Cameron, simply a PR exercise with no real substance.

URGENT APPEAL.

Party Chairman Makes Urgent Appeal for “Last Push” Legal Fund

British National Party chairman Nick Griffin MEP has appealed to supporters to help raise £1,500 legal fees by Monday for what may well be the finale to the Race Gestapo Equalities Commission’s persecution of the party.

Writing from his hospital bed, where he is currently undergoing treatment for kidney stones, Mr Griffin revealed that a “heavyweight” legal team had been brought in to “grind the taxpayer-funded Equalities Commission” assault on the BNP “into the dust.”

The appeal letter reads in full as follows:

“Monday morning will see me, Simon Darby and Tanya Lumbyback in the High Court. Once again we will be representing every member of the BNP, and fighting for the dearly-bought rights and freedoms of every member of our island race. Our enemy — the Equalities Commission, with their 70-strong tax-gobbling legal team.

This is the quango that refused even to recognise the existence of British and English people — until, thanks to all the donors who helped fund our fight back, we forced them to in this case. This is the quango that claims to stand for human rights and equality,and yet employs Simon Woolley, leader of Operation Black Vote. Woolley openly boasted that the aim of this anti-democratic attack on our party and our one million voters is to “close them down.”

On Monday, we stand a real chance of stopping these anti-British bigots dead in their tracks. Our legal team are buoyant, confident and well-prepared. Legal rules mean I can't give you advanced sight of their arguments and assessment of our chances, but I can tell you that they're going to be out to take Commission scalps! We are fighting to win.

or ring 0207 078 3269

So it's all to play for and we are nearly there. I say “nearly” because we just paid £8,500 to our legal team but have to top that to £10,000 on Monday morning. If we do, then the legal bully boys employed by Phillips and Woolley will face a top level team of legal professionals, working for us and for freedom. If we don’t I‘ll still fight on and once again represent myself.

I don’t mind doing it in principle - I did it at the last hearing to conserve Party funds - but I am no legal expert. I want to level the playing field and have the best team possible. I want to see the tables turned on Phillips and Woolley. They deserve to be hammered. This is our chance, not just to beat them, but to grind them and their petty tyranny into the dust of history.

Are we going to let them get away with it or are we going to fight? Simon, Tanya and I will be there in the Royal Courts of Justice fighting on Monday and Tuesday. I need to be able to tell Tanya and Simon that we are not alone. I need to walk into that court on your behalf at the head of a full, and fully paid for, legal team.

If I do, we can win. If I don’t, Simon Woolley may get his way. So, for what should be the final time in this case, I need your help. We urgently need that last £1,500. Not next Wednesday, not next Tuesday, not even on Monday — we need it right now!

Simon Woolley will be hoping you’ll ignore this plea, this moment of real need, this call to action.

I know you won’t. Thank you!

PS. Remember the big demonstration this coming Monday at the Royal Courts of Justice in The Strand, London (Nearest Underground Temple Station). Lovers of freedom are gathering at 9:30 am onwards outside the court. Join with us and bring as many people as you can with you! Let's get a turnout to welcome Nick Griffin, Simon Darby and Tanya Lumby as they enter court to stand up for all our rights.

Please dress smartly and bring flags (on poles, not draped over shoulders!). Hope to see you on Monday.”

Are there any consequenses?

The continuing saga that is the financial and political upheaval of the Parish Council, of which I am a Councillor, continued this week when we published the report of the external auditor we called in to investigate the goings on of the previous council.
.
The report is absolutely scathing of the previous council chairman and many others.
.
The situation came to a head at the start of the year when 10 councillors walked out triggering the election in which I took my seat on the council.
.
The auditors report is not the final piece of the puzzle as the previous clerk is now suing us (The Broughton Council) for "constructive dismissal. Which is an absolute outrage if you knew the facts as I do.
.
What was also outrageous was the legal advise which was that if we fought it and won it would cost us more money than settling now!!!!
.
Such is the state of the legal system in our country and I proposed that we fight the claim on the grounds of what is right not what might be cheapest, and after some debate enough of my fellow councillors voted with me to insist on challenging the claim rather than paying of the clerk.
.
There will be more twists in the tale of this little Parish Council before this episode is finished and with the upcoming huge development of the ex military base at Broughton our little council is a very high profile council all of a sudden, with media attending the meetings and standing room only in the public area.
.
I advise all British National Party members and especially the officials to attend and gain seats on all the town and parish councils possible, they are not paid positions - genuine public servants - but we must occupy the lower tiers of Government, as well as learning our trade we are very much needed in these councils, as with Westminster and all the District and County councils, our parish and town councils have also been infested by the lazy, the corrupt and the people who are only interested in furthering their own personal agendas.
.
Below is the write up in this weeks Times and Star:
.
Unapproved spending confirmed at Broughton Community Council
.
BROUGHTON Community Council made £6,064 of unauthorised payments in the last financial year, an external audit has shown.
.
The audit, which backs up a report from an internal auditor, showed that £3,661 of that received retrospective approval from the council, despite its clerk not having authority to make payments without prior approval. Another £2,403 was not approved by the council.
.
The external auditor’s report, received at a meeting of Broughton Parish Council on Monday, highlighted problems faced by the previous council, including financial regulations being breached and budgets not being monitored.
.
It echoed the findings of internal auditor Michael Johnson, whose report said most of the former council and the clerk had ignored legal processes and that the council had suffered a complete breakdown in governance.
.
The council ceased to exist in February when 10 members resigned.
.
The internal audit found it was not properly constituted following the resignation of chairman Keith Sproat in December, as a new chairman was not elected.
.
Clerk Jill Hunter had also resigned in December but councillors refused to accept her resignation.
The council was re-formed in May by remaining councillors Brian Beck and Brian Lancaster, existing councillor-elect Vera Sherwood and 10 other new councillors.
.
The external auditor recommended that the new council ensures all expenditure is given prior approval to avoid breaching financial regulations.
.
The report added: “Payments made without authorisation of the council could result in the councillors and/or clerk being subject to investigation and possibly legal proceedings.”
.
It urged the council to review the effectiveness of its internal audit process and monitor its budgets throughout the year.
.
Chairman John Wilson said: “I’m glad that it’s now over because there can be no arguments at all with the Government report so all this business of casting aspersions around is finished.”
.
Coun Brian Beck, who is still being investigated by local government watchdog Standards for England following a complaint by Mrs Hunter, said he was relieved to have been exonerated by the auditors’ reports.
.
Coun Beck, who was praised by the internal auditor, along with Coun Lancaster and Coun Sherwood, for freezing the council’s bank accounts following the resignations in February, said: “I have been castigated, vilified, I have been called a liar, and been told I’m trying to get access or control of bank accounts by the last clerk.”
.
Coun Clive Jefferson asked what action would be taken against those involved in the disgraceful actions of the previous council, adding that it could affect public opinion if nothing was seen to be done.
.
But Coun Wilson said that was outside the council’s jurisdiction.
.
He added: “Our primary task is to work for the good of this village for the future.”

Copeland A Team, 1,000+

The dedicated activists of Cumbrias West coast were out again on Saturday with the Copeland team leading the way with over 1,000 names and addresses on the "Bring our Boys Home" petition.

.

The Copeland British National Party team have really taken to this form of high visibility town centre campaigning and we intend to carry on with the information stall every Saturday.

.

We were always well received in Whitehaven but this recent campaign has caught the public imagination and has established us as the party that campaigns on issues the others will not go near. We now have many regular supporters coming over bringing their friends and family to sign and enquiring how many have signed so far.

.

As each day of campaigning ends we have a debrief to see what we have learned and how we can improve our performance, Phil has introduced a flag pole flying the union flag and Clive Jefferson, the National Elections officer and Copeland Organiser has started noting down declared voters and asking the people who stay to chat if they have or would consider voting for the British National Party.
.

Elections are all about data and we are finding so many different ways now to identify our supporters and as we are recording all the important information every day brings us closer to changing our many second place showings in Copeland to winning seats.

Burnley.......................

And the Bring our Boys Home campaign is gaining momentum right through the North West and indeed the full country with over 120 Groups and Branches now equipped with the campaign banners and literature and many more just going out with the pettitions.

.

Burnley BNP, the NW stronghold for the party for the last decade, reports over 300 signatures in under two hours!

Queuing up to sign.................................

Again Copeland British National Party took to the streets for the second Saturday in a row.

The response was tremendous, in two Saturday sessions the team gathered 580 names, addresses, contact details and signatures for the on going "Bring our Boys Home" campaign.

Due to last weeks response from the people of Whitehaven we purchased another table and had 5 clip boards with petitions on them on the go and still people had to queue up to sign them. This campaign is being supported so much by nearly every single person we encounter it shows the deep feeling running through the British people about this prolonged and senseless war.

We now intend to add Thursdays in the town centre and also next week we are starting to go door to door with the petition in all our target wards for next years elections.

I urge every Group and Branch to take up this campaign, it is the most worthy of campaigns and the perfect way to get new activists interacting positively with the public.

Copeland British National Party.

Again Copeland BNP took to the streets in Whitehaven and added another three hundered names and addresses to our pettition.

Stockport BNP, Saturday stall old-timers team.

The pictures show the Saturday stall old-timers team ably led by Sheila the new Stockport Organiser.

.

We have turned out every Saturday morning giving out Voice of Freedom papers and the ‘England is for Life’ leaflets every since the World Cup and we are now working hard on the new campaign to ‘Bring Our Boys Home’.

.

Our town centre stall has become a regular feature to shoppers with lots of the public greeting us like old friends; some come to us in order to make small donations to our fighting fund.

Copeland BNP

Saturday was a very good day for the Copeland Group of the British National Party when we launched our petition campaign to "Support our troops, bring them home".

.

The team set up our stall in the town centre and had tremendous support from the people of Whitehaven with over three hundred people signing the petition, they also left their names and addresses and we intend to write to everyone keeping them up to date with this and other campaigns.

.

It is worth reminding the people of the North West that their MEP, Nick Griffin used his first speech in the European Parliament to highlight the illegal war in Afghanistan and Nick Griffin is spearheading this current campaign and will be personally delivering the massed petitions to Number 10 Downing Street later in the year.

.

The very active Copeland group will be continuing this high visability campaign in the town centres and also intend to go door to door with the petitions in our target wards.

Cumbria helps out NE

On Saturday Cumbria BNP sent two car loads of activists over the A66 to assist our college Adam Walker in the by-election he is currently fighting in Spennymoor.

The NE and Cumbria have always supported each other and it is great for moral to travel and assist other groups, not to mention the boost a local team gets when activists come from afar to help out..On Saturday we managed to hand deliver 4200 personally addressed mail merge letters to the electors of the ward, an incredible days work with our activists knocking on each door and handing the voters a personal message from the British National Party candidate. A technique that is very effective and gets first timers into knocking on doors without the pressure of having to "canvass" the elector. Once our activists realise there really is no problem with door knocking they usually quickly develop into effective canvassers.

Clive Jefferson, National Election officer praised the team effort which included the literature being printed in Nuneaton, prepared (put into envelopes in Cumbria, a three day job) and delivered by a team of activists from all over the North of England.

North West Regional Council meeting.

Tradition who will keep it alive?

Tradition who will keep it alive? We will of course. The Green Man made an appearance.

.

One of the most interesting things I was involved in last weekend was showing the children how to light fires without modern means.

.

Could you light a fire if you needed to, if your very life depended on it? I think you would be hard pressed. I also spent long afternoons fishing, very successfully and we had kayak lessons for the youngsters and a competition with clay shooting for the older folk. A full roast pig was devoured and much singing and merriment enjoyed.

Indigenous Forum - Family Weekend.

Indigenous Forum - Family Weekend 28-29 August 2010

Dear Fellow Patriot,

We are pleased to announce the launch of the first Family Weekend hosted by the Indigenous Forum, an organisation dedicated to maintaining and preserving our native culture, ethnicity, religious heritage and way of life.

The Indigenous Forum is affiliated to, but independent of, the British National Party.
The first Family Weekend will be a chance for all native people of the British Isles to celebrate their cherished history and way of life, free from the liberal and leftist political correctness that has all but demolished our long held traditions and culture.

The event will take place at a beautiful venue near the Welsh-English border in the West Midlands.

The event will start at 10am on Saturday 28 August with a children's sports day, a dog competition, and evening entertainment that will include a celebration of Britain's patriotic musical past. A hog roast will be provided and a burger stall will be present providing basic refreshments.

On the Sunday there will be an adults sports day and a regional tug-of-war competition. The event will end with a keynote speech from myself.

On both days there will be a chance for socialising, informal discussion and various other fun activities.

Please note this is not a conventional Red, White and Blue event. There will not be regional stands or intensive political events, and the emphasis will be on families.

This event provides a fantastic site and the opportunity for people who wish to cherish our culture and who want to develop ways in which to celebrate it involving the next generation.
There is an upper limit on attendance so book your place fast. Contact the BNP Call Centre on 0207 078 3269 to book your place.

Adult ticket: £10

Child: £5

Under 5s FREE

Yours sincerely,

Nick Griffin, MEP
Leader, British National Party

Away from home.

I haven't posted for some time on my blog, I really must get used to posting from my phone or lap top but there never seems time.

.

Last Tuesday I set of to Leeds and met Martin and we went to pick up the Chairman Nick Griffin for a series of meetings in first the Eastern region.

,

We then went into London and I got my first look inside the GLA and we had a discussion with Chris Roberts about the on going issues with Richard Barnbrook.

.

We then had meetings with several London officials culminating in a Regional Council meeting where the Chairman appointed a new set of sub regional organisers who are very keen to show that there is much more to London than the the East of the capital where nearly all the previous BNP activity has been focused. We then went on to a packed and intense members meeting which was made more interesting by the appearance of Mr Butler and a group of his dissidents that we did not allow into the meeting. It all worked out very well and a lot of people were brought back into the fold after recent problems in the area.

.

Then it was straight to Summer School to do six back to back two hour lectures over the two days concentrating on the new election system we have developed and are testing now with live electoral data. Very exciting and everyone attending is now up to speed with where we a going electorally.

.

Paul Stafford did an excellent class on our recently finalised postal vote strategy and Alwyn Deacon did a course on running an Election day operation.

.

Summer School was great and I got home on Sunday nigh, late on, after a seriously intense six days of non stop political activity.

An interesting time.

The above write up of our local parish council meeting makes no mention of the larger meeting before it where the huge issue of the Broughton arms dump was discussed. Very controversial open cast coal mining plans have been put forward as the favoured buyer and developer of this huge piece of pristine prime land by the river Derwent, a site bigger than the whole of Cockermouth!
.
I intend to be part of our councils panel that will be looking into this project and all the options.
.
I spent all day Saturday and Sunday at the party's Advisory Council where we dealt with a series of serious issues and work is being done now to address some serious short falls in our structure.

Join the British Resistance.

Join the British Resistance

Dear Fellow Patriot,

The Muslim chairman of David Cameron’s Conservative Party, Sayeeda Warsi, has backed the wearing of the burka, a move which is perfectly in line with that party’s apparent desire to see Britain Islamified.

Ms Warsi, who was appointed as a “baroness” by David Cameron so that she can also sit in the cabinet without having to fight an election, claimed that wearing a burka does not prevent Muslim women “engaging in everyday life” in Britain.

The comments came just prior to a new Daily Mail investigation into Islamic paedophile gangs in Britain in which it is claimed that police and victims are often too scared to pursue the perpetrators for fear of being called “racist.”

The Daily Mail investigation echoes many of the points raised by the BNP, in particular the aspects relating to the refusal by authorities to investigate the matter for fear of offending Muslims. According to the report, the Muslim gangs specialised in luring “naive local girls” into underage sex rings. The men target white girls and ply them with alcohol, cigarettes and drugs.
The girls are usually at first raped violently, and then threatened with extreme violence should they report the matter. “They threatened to firebomb my home with my parents inside if I told anyone what they’d done, shoot me with a pistol, rape my mother and kill my older brother if I told anyone,” one of the victims said in the report.

“Most of the men running the sex slave gangs in the north of England are Asians of Pakistani origin. But very few of the authorities will admit this,” the victim said. The refusal to address the root cause is “political correctness and a fear of being branded racist,” the report continues.
One mother from Yorkshire, whose 13-year-old girl was lured into sex slavery, told the Daily Mail reporter that “Almost every man found guilty of grooming under-age girls in this part of Britain is Asian, and everyone knows that.

“I think the police are over cautious about this issue because they fear being branded racist. That is wrong. These are criminals that should be treated as criminals whatever their race.” The report concludes by saying that “Scotland Yard estimates that 5,000 British-born children are today under the control of sex-slave gangs across the UK.”

This is the shocking face of modern Britain, where native British people are treated like second-class citizens. Only the British National Party is standing up for the victims of racist grooming.
The time for talking is over - now is the time for action!

Is this the future you want for your children? Will you regret it when it is too late and you wished you would have joined the British Resistance when you had the chance?

The British National Party is Britain's fastest growing political party, with dozens of councillors, a seat on the Greater London Assembly and two seats in the European Parliament.

The clock is ticking, our country is dying, and our beautiful innocent children are depending on us to save their future. Here are the different membership options:

METHOD #1: Join the British Resistance

The BNP is the only hope for our country, for our children and grand-children. There are thousands of people receiving this e-bulletin that are not members yet. Why not join the British Resistance to political correctness, multiculturalism and the enforced colonisation of our country. Membership costs only £30:

METHOD #2: Become a Life Member

Life members are that small elite of British patriots that sign-up to the Cause of British Nationalism for life, not just for one year. Life membership comes with various other attractive benefits:

METHOD #3: Become a Gold Member

Gold members stand out from the crowd due to the unique gold membership badge that all Gold members wear with pride. Gold membership costs just £60 and shows that little bit of extra commitment to the Cause of British survival:

METHOD #4: Upgrade your membership

For the thousands of existing BNP members out there why not upgrade your membership to Gold or even Life? Upgrading your membership shows your commitment to our Cause and provides real and substantial benefits to you and the Party:

Thank you in advance for your loyalty and support.

Yours sincerely,Nick Griffin, MEPLeader, British National Party

The fight goes on.

I found an old photo today, an interesting image. My time in Thailand, training and fighting with the professionals. Muay thai is a serious sport and brutally hard, quite a challenge at the time and as with any discipline requiring commitment, stamina and I loved it.
.
So here we are now and the fighting we are involved in is far more brutal than any of the full contact bouts I have had. Today in the political arena it is not a simple thing to identify the enemy. It is more a game of chess than a straight fight and we must weigh every move and the repercussions of each move, working out the possible outcomes and having the confidence and courage to act.
.
Don't you just love politics?

Cumbria BNP set new membership record.

Tonight the regular meeting of the Copeland and Allerdale groups of the British National Party welcomed another four new members to the party, all four joining up on the night.
.
"This is part of our local recruitment drive" Paul Stafford, Cumbrian Organiser, told BNP News. "It is surprising just how many long time supporters, who never miss a meeting, haven't actually joined up yet and where better to sign them up but at a meeting, amongst friends."
.
Copeland and Allerdale have a healthy rivalry on the football and rugby pitches and now in the membership competition with Allerdale just pulling away, with a late second half double sign up, just when we thought it was going to close, all even in total, with one each on the night.
.
Some people might think this time, after the General Election, was a quiet time for politics, it has surprised us all to realise that in Cumbria we are now at an all time record in paid up members and we have only just started our proactive recruitment drive this week.
.
Tonight was another first for us with candidates already choosing ward's for next year's local elections and canvass sheets are being printed this week for those candidates to start their campaign. With our strongest wards already intensively canvassed it is literally a case of just filling in the gaps on the sheets and keeping in contact with our identified supporters.
.
West Cumbria has a rock solid membership/ activist base and some of the most promising electoral potential for us in the region and in a time when some people are more concerned with internal politics, it is just fantastic when you open the meeting up to any questions and your activists say "Yes we have a serious complaint to make..................... we need more VoFs and some new leaflets to put out!"

Liverpool two weeks ago, with Peter and Councillor Mike Whitby the new Liverpool Organiser.

The "controversial" appearance of MEP Nick Griffin on GMTV, that was quoted as being one of the reasons the invitation to the palace was withdrawn....

More front page news...............

BNP leader Nick Griffin has set up a base in Burnley.

The highly-controversial politician officially opened his "Euro office" on Saturday in Yorke Street where he will spend time in his role as a Member of the European Parliament for the North-West. Mr Griffin believes Burnley holds a "special place" in the party's history and it is thought he will hold surgeries at the address in the coming months.

.

Burnley MP Gordon Birtwistle said democracy meant Mr Griffin was entitled to set up stall in the town. "The office has been there for a number of years and it has done nothing in the past. I would suggest it won't be doing much in future either.

.

"Nick Griffin is one of our MEPs and a pretty insignificant one at the moment as he doesn't seem to be doing a lot. However, if he wants to come and sort the problems any Burnley people are having with the European Parliament then so be it. I hope he does hold surgeries there and helps deliver what the people of Burnley want," he said.

.

"The office is important as it will bring local people closer to their MEP," said Mr Griffin, who was dramatically refused entry to the Queen's Garden Party at Buckingham Palace yesterday where Mayor of Burnley Coun. Tony Lambert and his wife, Brenda, were guests. "Burnley has a special place in the history of the British National Party as it was here we made our political breakthrough when winning three seats on Burnley Council in 2002.

.

"Mr Griffin was elected to Brussels last year even though the BNP polled fewer votes in the region than it had in 2004 – winning a seat through the system of proportional representation used in the European elections. He promised then he would be opening an office in Burnley in the near future.

.

The BNP has used an office within the Yorke Street building since 2002 but recently moved to two new offices within the same complex.

.

Leader of the Burnley BNP party Coun. Sharon Wilkinson said: "When Nick first got elected as MEP he said he was going to set up an office in Burnley and he's kept his word. It will be funded with Nick's European funding. We will be getting some of the Euro staff here as well which means we will be able to help more local people with their problems."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The LibDem MP is nothing but predictable with his comments, I intend to make an appointment with him when next I am in the Burnley office and have a chat with him about the issues he thinks important for the people of Burnley. That would be very interesting I think.

.

The paper points out that our vote dropped in 2009 from 2004 levels, they fail to mention that every ones vote dropped in that election as in 2004 an all postal ballot pushed up the turn out. So the relevance of that comment is also most interesting.

.

But the main thing, a front page article will inform the people of the town that they now have a office, close by where they can have access to their MEP. I look forward to working down there.

BREAKING NEWS.................

The politically motivated refusal to allow British National Party leader Nick Griffin MEP to attend a tea party at Buckingham Palace is an attack on democracy, the media, freedom of speech and one million British patriots.
.

This was the reaction of Mr Griffin to the news that officials had informed him at the last minute that he was being barred from the party for allegedly making “political capital” out of the visit by granting media interviews.
.

“The reason is invented nonsense,” Mr Griffin said. “Nowhere in the book of rules given to all attendees does it say anything about not giving media interviews and of course countless people have done precisely that in the past.
.

“This decision is an attack on the media and their right to report on important events of the day.
.

“It is an attack on the right of every person in Britain to get the news of current events reported by the media, and it is an attack on the one million plus patriots who voted for the BNP,” Mr Griffin said.
.

“The move has obviously been made under pressure from the ConDem regime who are desperate for any reason to bar the BNP,” Mr Griffin said.
.

The BNP leader dismissed as nonsense the claim that he had tried to make political capital out of the invitation.
.

“The media would of course be interested in an invitation to a BNP MEP to attend a party at Buckingham Palace.
.

“To use that natural media interest as an excuse to withdraw the invitation is a disgusting disregard for democracy in Britain,” he said.
.

“The ruling elite must realise that blatant attempts at gagging the BNP always backfires and we will emerge from these situations and their double standards stronger than ever,” Mr Griffin said.

Gone to London to see the Queen.

British National Party (BNP) leader Nick Griffin is expected to attend a Buckingham Palace garden party later.
.
Nick intends to take three members of his family to the event in his capacity as an MEP for the North West.
.
Last year Mr Griffin withdrew from attending a similar event out of fear of embarrassing the Queen, due to the media frenzy surrounding him attending as a guest of someone. This year it is very different and Mr Griffin goes to take up the invitation, sent to him in recognition of his political rank as a duly elected member of the European Parliament. This is no media stunt, and Nick has been proved right to decline last years invite and to enter this year, through the front door as the saying goes.
.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman confirmed that as an MEP Mr Griffin was eligible to nominate himself to attend a garden party, as part of the allocation of tickets to the European Parliament.

(In 2009 Mr Griffin was invited to attend a Buckingham Palace garden party by his BNP colleague Richard Barnbrook who, as a London Assembly member, was nominated for two tickets by the Greater London Authority (GLA).)
.
The Queen, I would wager, will be is looking forward to Mr Griffins visit.
