<title>The Green Arrow : Fake Emails and Whispering Campaign: Dirty Tricks Launched against BNP</title>
<link>http://www.thegreenarrow.co.uk/index.php/writers/arrow-straight/1928-fake-emails-and-whispering-campaign-dirty-tricks-launched-against-bnp#IDComment74448421</link>
<description>I think it&amp;#039;s too easy to adopt a lynch-mob mentality towards an individual, especially when most people will not have seen the underlying problems that Bennett explained with his resignation. Rather than focus on recrimination, law-suits, and blame would it not be better for the Party to redouble its efforts, move on and concentrate on gaining real power in the next election?  </description>

<title>The British National Party : Incoherent, Unprincipled and a Pale Imitation of the Labour Party: Yet Another Tory Columnist Takes </title>
<link>http://bnp.org.uk/2010/04/incoherent-unprincipled-and-a-pale-imitation-of-the-labour-party-yet-another-tory-columnist-takes-aim-at-new-conservative-party/#IDComment67385841</link>
<description>The reason why so many are disgusted by mainstream politicians is aptly described by Phillips in the article when she says:    &amp;quot;For because the focus-group-driven Cameroons are aware of the disapproval of core conservative voters, they are tacking to both right and left simultaneously - saying, for example, that they will take stern measures to reduce the financial deficit and safeguard all social programs - and so are coming across as incoherent and unprincipled. They have thus fallen into the greatest of contemporary political elephant traps. For what voters today prize above all is authenticity - the perception that a politician is utterly true to himself, and that what you see is what you get.&amp;quot;  Some BNP candidates in this election may lack the polish and slick marketing techniques of LibLabCon, but for me that is a bonus. What you do get are sincerely held convictions expressed with honesty and integrity. That authenticity makes the BNP leagues ahead of the other main parties. </description>

<title>The British National Party : BNP Candidate Calls on English to Celebrate St George’s Day “Like the Irish do St Patrick’s Da</title>

<description>You are correct about Shakesperare&amp;#039;s birthday Bodica. In Stratford-upon-Avon there is always a celebration / procession on 23rd April which sort of merges into St George&amp;#039;s Day.  Unfortunately for Will, it was also the day he died! </description>

<title>The British National Party : Global Warming &quot;Shrinking Sheep&quot; Theory Debunked</title>
<link>http://bnp.org.uk/2010/04/global-warming-shrinking-sheep-theory-debunked/#IDComment66548277</link>
<description>In July 2009, all of the newspapers and science magazines screamed about the Soay sheep &amp;ldquo;shrinking&amp;rdquo; due to warmer winters. Yet another example of looking for any story to feed the mass hysteria about supposed anthropogenic climate change. If these lazy journalists had bothered to investigate, they would have found a much more plausible explanation put forward by Sheffield University&amp;#039;s Dr Slate back in January 2008. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shef.ac.uk/mediacentre/2008/951.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.shef.ac.uk/mediacentre/2008/951.html&lt;/a&gt;  This research showed that although three quarters of the sheep on Hirta had dark coats and larger bodies, it was the other quarter of the population &amp;ndash; with lighter coats and smaller bodies &amp;ndash; that had genetic traits that improved their ability to reproduce. So not only were generations of sheep getting lighter coats, they were also passing on the genes that governed a smaller body size.  What this demonstrates again is that in both science and journalism, it is much more fashionable to provide accounts which include some theory of the consequences of global warming. We should also &amp;ldquo;Follow the Money&amp;rdquo;.  Scientists need to research and publish in order to survive in academia. To research, they need research grants. And the people controlling the research grants look extremely favourably on any application that involves anything to do with climate change. It&amp;#039;s a form of politically-correct group-think that&amp;#039;s driven from the whole climate change industry. The group-think surrounding global warming is a self-sustaining bubble of illusion that one day will burst. Before they pick some other imminent &amp;ldquo;disaster&amp;rdquo;, to instill fear while they fleece us.  Baa!  </description>

<title>The Green Arrow : Creeping Totalitarianism and The BNP. An Outsider\&#039;s View</title>
<link>http://www.thegreenarrow.co.uk/index.php/writers/others/1490-creeping-totalitarianism-and-the-bnp-an-outsiders-view#IDComment62219796</link>
<description>I think the points you are making are extremely important. There are fundamental aspects of our liberty that have been enshrined in common law and British history and culture and that is what is under threat by the new Statism of the current political elite, not just in Britain, but in the EU, the USA, WTO et al.  I share your concern in that by reacting to the authoritarianism of Lib/Lab/Cons, we simply replace it with another knee-jerk authoritarian creed leaning in the opposite direction. That would also be a betrayal of our heritage of freedom.   We need to be ever vigilant in pursuit of each Briton&amp;#039;s liberty in relation to the power of the state. You can&amp;#039;t force people to be free, just allow them the possibility. The current political elite seem intent on banning everything they don&amp;#039;t like; the mistake would be for the BNP to react by banning everything they disagreed with, without considering the net effect on the freedom of thought, action and expression of the indigenous British. </description>

<description>Excellent article from Sean Gabb. Here&amp;#039;s another by Dr Gabb on Britain&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;New Totalitariansim&amp;quot; -  complete political control of British society brought about by bureaucracy rather than brute force. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vdare.com/gabb/100127_police_state.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.vdare.com/gabb/100127_police_state.htm&lt;/a&gt;  It&amp;#039;s ironic that only yesterday, Gatwick security stopped a man for wearing a T-shirt which said &amp;quot;Freedom or Die&amp;quot;. As Tony Hancock said:  &amp;quot;What about Magna Carta - did she die in vain?&amp;quot; :)  </description>

<title>The British National Party : Teachers Ruling: Democracy “Just Survives Leftist Totalitarian Onslaught”</title>
<link>http://bnp.org.uk/2010/03/teachers-ruling-democracy-%e2%80%9cjust-survives-leftist-totalitarian-onslaught%e2%80%9d/#IDComment61664471</link>
<description>The review has come to a mature decision. The point of being professional in a job, whether your opinions are marxist, liberal or right-wing, is that you don&amp;#039;t allow those personal views to influence the way that you carry out your duties.  The assumption that professional teachers can&amp;#039;t understand this distinction, thereby requiring bans and more state control,  has been part of an underlying process of infantilisation of state and council employees.  </description>

<title>The British National Party : NHS: Prognosis Not Good</title>
<link>http://bnp.org.uk/2010/03/nhs-prognosis-not-good/#IDComment61560567</link>
<description>With 20 years experience in the NHS in 80s &amp;amp; 90s, I concur about basic standards. The reason why there are so many form-fillers and pen-pushers is because central government requires it for statistics and monitoring of endless PC initiatives. Also everyone is unhappy with their job now - nurses are wannabe doctors, doctors are wannabe managers, managers are wannabe social scientists, a silly professional musical chairs where everyone is trying to do someone elses job, but just end up doing it badly. I tell you, I&amp;#039;m really scared of getting old and ending up in hospital. Care, compassion and competence has no place in the bureaucratic sausage machine. </description>

<title>The Green Arrow : Show Solidarity with Adam Walker BNP</title>

<description>This is totalitarian Thought Crime, pure and simple, straight out of &amp;#039;1984&amp;#039;.  Orwell said &amp;quot;anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing.&amp;quot;  In Notes on Nationalism he said &amp;quot;If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.&amp;quot;  Our liberty is slipping away from us... </description>

<title>The British National Party : Police Protect Muslim &quot;Victims&quot; but Ignore British Hate Crime Victims</title>
<link>http://bnp.org.uk/2010/03/police-protect-muslim-victims-but-ignore-british-hate-crime-victims/#IDComment61230699</link>
<description>The police are becoming more and more politicised. They are under pressure to record crimes as &amp;quot;racially motivated&amp;quot;, particularly if its white on BME . But when the criminals are black or asian gangs with white victims, race seemingly has no part to play in it.    This suits the agenda of all the equality quangoes and socialist councils - skewed crime reporting provides more excuses to pour resources into multicultural bean-feasts like &amp;quot;awareness&amp;quot; programmes and Black History month. The fact is, if someone is kicking your head in because you wear glasses, or he didn&amp;#039;t like the way you looked at him,  or because of your skin colour - it makes not a jot of difference - the physical assault is the crime and it should be treated as such regardless of supposed intentions.  </description>

<title>The British National Party : Traffic Congestion: Commonsense Parked Up</title>
<link>http://bnp.org.uk/2010/03/traffic-congestion-commonsense-parked-up/#IDComment61154207</link>
<description>The ever-expanding population is the root cause of so many problems in the world. We can&amp;#039;t do much about it in other countries but we can do something in our own country. We can stop immigration and cut child benefit after the first child.   It&amp;#039;s hard to find statistics on car usage by immigrant groups. I did find a study of &amp;#039;socioecomic position&amp;#039; by ethnicity in the UK, based on Leeds. &lt;a href=&quot;http://ukpmc.ac.uk/articlerender.cgi?tool=pubmed&amp;amp;pubmedid=19250528&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://ukpmc.ac.uk/articlerender.cgi?tool=pubmed&amp;...&lt;/a&gt;  Car ownership: 54.9% (White) 61.2% (Indo-Pakistani)    If this pattern repeats itself elsewhere, for every batch of new arrivals from Asia, there will a be a disproportionally higher number of car users on the road, compared with the same number of indigenous white folk. </description>

<title>The Green Arrow : Why did Miliband appear at the Iraq Inquiry?</title>
<link>http://www.thegreenarrow.co.uk/index.php/writers/rugfish/1445-why-did-miliband-appear-at-the-iraq-inquiry#IDComment60481148</link>
<description>You are absolutely right. The only justification for Milipede&amp;#039;s attendance would be to elucidate British Foreign Policy relating to Iraq during his time as Foreign Sec June 2007 - July 2009.  I had to wake myself up several times, listening to his woffle, but the only reason this puny bit-player in the debacle seemed to be there, was to try to provide further excuses for an illegal invasion of a sovereign country.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iraqinquiry.org.uk/transcripts/oralevidence-bydate/100308.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.iraqinquiry.org.uk/transcripts/oralevi...&lt;/a&gt;  </description>

<description>Tory back-benchers are already regretting electing Cameron as their leader. He&amp;#039;s just a Blair doppelganger, all froth and spin, without a solid conviction in his body. He&amp;#039;s nicked the vacuous &amp;quot;Change&amp;quot; slogan from Obama, and every public statement is made after he&amp;#039;s checked which way the wind is blowing.  Aren&amp;#039;t we all SO TIRED of all these fake &amp;#039;leaders&amp;#039;. Can&amp;#039;t we have a genuine grass-roots party in charge, one with a decisive leadership? Like the BNP, maybe ? </description>

During her tenure there was a bust of Lenin in the town hall and a red flag fluttered on the roof, leading critics to rename the borough the Socialist Republic of Islington. &amp;quot;  &amp;quot;She had her own solution to childcare problems, of course. As services were being cut, she was advertising in The Lady magazine for a nanny.&amp;quot;     </description>

<title>The British National Party : The Real Purpose of the United Nations’ IPCC Revealed</title>
<link>http://bnp.org.uk/2010/03/the-real-purpose-of-the-united-nations%e2%80%99-ipcc-revealed/#IDComment60199698</link>
<description>Closer to home, we should look at the role of the British-based Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) .  They strategized:   &amp;ldquo; The task of climate change agencies is not to persuade by rational argument.... The &amp;quot;facts&amp;quot; need to be treated as being so taken-for-granted that they need not be spoken.... It amounts to treating climate-friendly activity as a brand that can be sold. This is, we believe, the route to mass behaviour changes.&amp;rdquo;  The IPPR are the same lot that recently called for more mass Third World immigration: &lt;a href=&quot;http://bnp.org.uk/2010/03/labour-party-think-tank-says-britain-needs-even-more-third-world-immigration/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bnp.org.uk/2010/03/labour-party-think-tank...&lt;/a&gt;  The IPPR are a bit like the nefarious Bilderberg Committee &amp;ndash; they are big players on both the home and international stage who&amp;#039;ve held positions such as the president of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, United Nations consultant, General Secretary of the Fabian Society, consultant to the World Bank, bank board member,&amp;nbsp; members of the House of Lords etc. |As well as the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, one of their funders is Tata Consultancy Services, and the Tata Group (who own Tata Steel who  just closed the Corus plant)  also fund the Tata Energy Research Institute run by Rajendra Pachauri, who also happens to be chairman of the IPCC.    The IPPR  are deeply wedded to the idea of a New World Order where all differences in wealth are levelled out and the west impoverishes itself to subsidise the corruption and venality of Third World countries, while the multi-nationals and carbon-traders maximise their profits. This &amp;ldquo;one-world&amp;rdquo; thinking is deeply embedded in many charitable NGOs, in the European Union, and the United Nations. The ruling elite, of course, won&amp;#039;t be subject to such privations.  The network of power, influence, greed, and control is so labyrinthine that it even John Le Carre couldn&amp;#039;t make it up.  These are scary times. </description>
