Gordon Brown's speech at the Labour conference yesterday was the usual waffle about change and portraying himself and his party as the ones to save our country from its dire situation while not mentioning the part he played in causing the present disaster. Little mention of Afganistan and the price our soldiers are paying, nor immigration. He really is thick and to promote "change" when he has been in power for 12 years shows a disconnect with reality.
His announced clampdown on teenage mothers was another policy stolen from the BNP (the other slogans were "Operation Fightback" and "British Jobs for British Workers").
However his statement that the policy would be implemented "immediately" begs the question of where this teenage accomodation is to be found. The policy needs fleshing out and can not be put in place immediately,but some deterrance to teenage pregnancy could be in place very soon such as cutting benefits for the young mothers.
We were all teenagers once but in my time the reason why I did not get anyone pregnant was fear of the consequences. Then the pregnancy rate was very low in spite of abortion being a criminal offence and the pill not being available.
The fear of the consequences is the only way that these pregnancies can be curtailed. That way we would have fewer feral children, less crime and a smaller underclass which would be of great benefit to the country.
So Gordon, you have stolen a good policy from us but have no idea how to implement it. Never mind you will not be in power for long and we will see what the useless Tories do.
SCUM AT THE CONFERENCE.
The politicians who will not share a platform with Nick Griffin showed their contempt for those killed by the IRA by inviting Martin McGuinness to their conference in the very hotel where his cohorts set their bomb off during the Tory conference killing some and injuring others including Lady Tebbitt who is paralysed to this day.
While I have no time for the Tory Party I think Labour have plumbed the depths inviting Mc Guinness.
How many people has Nick Griffin or any BNP member killed or injured?.
I hope Nick will use this outrage in his forthcoming session on Question Time if he is asked about things he may have said in the past, I'm sure he will. Ex Communist Jack Straw has certainly drawn the short straw this time. Nick will anihilate him. If there is audience trouble it will show the Left's contempt for democracy.
So there you have it. Labour members willing to share a platform with a murderer but not an elected politician who happens to have a different view.
WHAT DEMOCRATS!
AN INTERFERING FOREIGNER.
I of course have no time for Labour but I think the Sun's headline supporting the Tories, released just after Brown's speech shows the power of one rich man, Murdoch to influence events.
This is neither democratic nor healthy. No one elected Murdoch and his wealth should not give him so much political power. I think that is the reason why he is so against our Party as he knows that our views on multinational companies, if implemented would hit his business hard.
The Tories may be chuckling today but do they really want our country to be influenced by a foreign media tycoon?.

A TALE OF TWO FACT FINDING TRIPS
Got back last night from our trip to London where I accompanied my wife while she saw Cliff Richard at the O2 arena (obviously I didn't go to the show). I enjoyed some of the sights of London including the Greater London Council building where Richard Barnbrook fights our corner.
It was all very pleasant only marred by the fact that proper English beer was unavailable. There were not too many foreigners there and many of those were obviously tourists.
I returned to my brother's place in Ealing by tube arriving at 9 PM. What a contrast there was. I counld have been in another country with about 80% of the people round the station of ethnic minority origin. No that's wrong, I was the minority in that street.
A few hundred yards away in the more affluent area where my brother lives it was completely different and there was no feeling of intimidation on my part, and little evidence of "diversity".
There were few people out on the street and I feel this is the reason why so few of the more prosperous inhabitants worry about the take over of our country.
They are all shut up at home and are not affected by this invasion and only see it when on the tube,(I suppose many appreciate the cheap labour these people provide so long as they live a distance away)
I was told about council housing estates where 80% of the inhabitants were ethnics (mainly Somali) and doctors have to allow twice as much time per patient to allow for translation of symtoms.
My brief stay gave the lie to those who say that there is no strain on housing or medical services and I did not get to discussing the effect on education.
Our fact finding trip cost for two of us about £120 including petrol and food which of course I had to pay. It gave me an insight in to the situation in our metropolis which I will use in future campaigns.
The same can not be said for Neil Turner our illustrious MP who featured on a Channel 4 documentary tonight on an all expenses paid trip to the South Pacific to discuss "Global Warming" on a trip which must have added to this effect (if the "science"is to be believed which I don't) and that is before all the hot air generated by his discussions. Fortunately the latter would not amount to much as far from discussing much, dining out and watching dancers seemed to take up much of their time.
What Neil Turner's expertise in this matter is far from obvious and its relevance to his constituents even less so.
Even if he gained an insight into the issue his announced resignation from his MPs job in a few months time renders any contribution he could make of no consequence.
Even a thick Labour MP (too thick to be promoted and too supine to rebel) will realise that the trip was just a "jolly", meaning "I'll have my all expenses paid trip while still on the gravy train and sod my constituents, the people of Wigan who have contributed to the cost along with my other expense claims".
He was never fit to represent Wigan and his going will be no loss.

THE INFINITE MONKEYS AND GODWIN'S LAW
This one is going to be controversial.
The Infinite Monkeys and Godwin’s law
By Mike Smith
Debating on racial issues is largely a one-way debate in modern society. Just about all the academics, politicians and Main Stream Media (MSM) institutions are advocates of Cultural relativism and Racial Egalitarianism. They believe in a fallacy and modern day superstition that all races are equal just like people in the Dark ages believed the earth was flat.
They constantly profess, advocate and defend this absurdity and false dogma with a fanaticism bordering on religious hysteria despite many scientists and anthropologist who did extensive work on differences between races and who published hundreds of volumes on the subject.
Trying to find works such as “The Bell Curve”, “Race and Reason”, “IQ and the wealth of Nations” or De Gobineau’s “Inequality of the races” in a public or University library is a rarity these days. Even academics who try to discuss race in the most moderate of fashions are met with academic intolerance and physical intimidation by racial failure apologists and egalitarians. All research that proves their theories wrong are shunned as “Pseudo-science” without the proof of this research ever been studied or even read.
One sees these phenomena also on the internet on forums where racial issues are being discussed. Anyone who provides a counter argument to Cultural relativism or egalitarianism is immediately attacked with an argumentum ad hominem to his person, called a racist and ignorant bastard.
It never stops to amaze me how hopeful these racial equalitists (a Mike Smith creation) can be. They say that if you just give the Blacks time, give them enough education, enough food, enough money, enough whatever…they will someday catch up with Whites and they will be just like us. They actually admit that there is indeed a difference between the races, but cannot see the fault in their Reductio ad absurdum. At the one moment they say the races are all the same, but the very next moment they say that Blacks could catch up with Whites (admitting that races are not the same or equal) through education, environment, etc.

Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said: "What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?"
The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: "I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts for another one."

A LEADER OR AN ELECTED MAYOR......HAVE YOUR SAY
A SWINE OF A MAN
LORD PETER SMITH
An opportunity will arise come May 2010 to oust Lord Peter Smith from his very own Wigan Council throne and rid - once and for all - this pompous, autocratic and bigoted fool from his self made ivory tower were he regally gloats from at our expense.
In fact, we have two bites at the cherry to dethrone Lord 'Ha Ha' but the first option is to change the way we are currently governed.
You have the offer below to read for yourself about this issue and one which is taken directly from the council's Borough Life quarterly magazine.
It is very evident reading this article that the council lackeys who wrote this seem particularly ill at ease with the potential threat of the disposal of their 'fuhrer' and thus resort to using such propagandistic text to dispel and rubbish the option of a directly elected mayor.
Obviously, by giving you and me - us mere mortals a chance to change the way we are 'dictated' to, is a definate no-no for the gestapo in the chambers! For it will certainly rip the heart out of Lord Smith's already bulging but dubious wallet as well as having an even more devastating effect on the rest of Peter's 'suidae' family of corrupt hangers-on or more commonly known as 'his' employees and co-conspirators on his select ten cabinet. And those who would have no place or use in the 'real' world if it wasn't for the huge creation of non-jobs throughout the council corridors and beyond and all at the behest of Lord Smith! How are we doing by the way Mr Elliot Brown? And I certainly mustn't forget to mention our Myra!! Wink...Wink...Nudge...Nudge... Say no more!!
And lest we forget that it was also Lord Peter Smith who orchestrated the ludicrous doomed to failure "congestion charge" debacle, and this whilst holding the position of head of the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities.
The cost of promoting the 'YES' to the 'C' Charge campaign ran into £millions and is now another unjust financial burden around not only the necks of the Wigan and Leigh taxpayers, but, additionally on all the others who so happen to be living in Greater Manchester as a whole.
These are the words of Lord Smith quoted on the day before the Congestion Charge results:
(Lord Peter Smith, leader of Wigan council, chipped in to the debate on the Queen's speech in the upper chamber yesterday.)
"I have resisted any attempt to speak on transport," he said. "One of my roles is chair of the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities. We conducted a referendum campaign on a transport package and I have spoken far too much about transport.
"The results will be out at lunchtime on Friday when I will see whether I will be depressed all weekend..."
I hope you are still depressed! No wonder Smithy's corner want to steer clear of any referendum going on this past drubbing he got!
You can also sense their unease as the article continues by these comments:
. An elected mayor would be a very different animal to the non-political ceremonial mayor that Wigan has had for hundreds of years.
. Once again, the mayor would be in power for four years but the difference is that there would be no way for the council or the public to remove him or her during that period. A directly elected mayor doesn’t have to be a councillor and may not even have the support of a majority of councillors.
.There could be difficulties if the elected mayor is unable to command the support of a majority of councillors.
. Another issue is the cost of holding a separate election for an elected mayor.
I really don't think the matter of cost should be brought into the equation by the council, certainly as we see such wastage of our monies on the likes of the ByoU and Rafiki/Motswako projects that they have selfishly contributed to over the decade or so.
A brief but interesting history of elected mayors can be found here: Elected Mayors in United Kingdom
To date there have been 37 referendums on whether to establish an elected mayor in English local authorities. Twelve have been passed and 25 rejected by the voters.
To cause a referendum, the normal procedure is for the council to request it, which has happened in 22 cases. In 14, the voters themselves have requested a referendum by petition and in one (Southwark) central Government forced the holding of a referendum
I think this is too good an opportunity to pass over and would urge that we all get our heads together and start promoting a referendum by petition forthwith. And let them know we have all had enough.
The other option we have at our disposal is to beat Lord Ha Ha in May 2010 when is tenure of councillor for the Leigh West ward is also up for grabs!

JUST FOR CHRIS HILL
In the early 1980s, with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, scientists at the United Kingdom’s University of East Anglia established the Climate Research Unit (CRU) to produce the world’s first comprehensive history of surface temperature. It’s known in the trade as the “Jones and Wigley” record for its authors, Phil Jones and Tom Wigley, and it served as the primary reference standard for the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) until 2007. It was this record that prompted the IPCC to claim a “discernible human influence on global climate.”
Putting together such a record isn’t at all easy. Weather stations weren’t really designed to monitor global climate. Long-standing ones were usually established at points of commerce, which tend to grow into cities that induce spurious warming trends in their records. Trees grow up around thermometers and lower the afternoon temperature. Further, as documented by the University of Colorado’s Roger Pielke Sr., many of the stations themselves are placed in locations, such as in parking lots or near heat vents, where artificially high temperatures are bound to be recorded.
So the weather data that go into the historical climate records that are required to verify models of global warming aren’t the original records at all. Jones and Wigley, however, weren’t specific about what was done to which station in order to produce their record, which, according to the IPCC, showed a warming of 0.6° +/– 0.2°C in the 20th century.
Now begins the fun. Warwick Hughes, an Australian scientist, wondered where that “+/–” came from, so he politely wrote Phil Jones in early 2005, asking for the original data. Jones’s response to a fellow scientist attempting to replicate his work was, “We have 25 years or so invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it?”
Reread that statement, for it is breathtaking in its anti-scientific thrust. In fact, the entire purpose of replication is to “try and find something wrong.” The ultimate objective of science is to do things so well that, indeed, nothing is wrong.

TREVOR PHILLIPS' CREW [EHRC]
I have several regular internet correspondents. One of them had recently read this and so decided to carry out a little test. The correspondence between me and him, and him and Trevor Phillips' crew (EHRC) went like this:
**name** : "I SENT THIS":
"Dear Sir
Would you kindly let me know what the precise membership criteria are for the above?
Thank you kindly for your time."
[referring to the Dumfries and Galloway crowd in the linked BNP article]
"THEY [EHRC}REPLY WITH THIS":
"Dear Sir,
Thank you for bringing this organisation to our attention. It is an organisation we are aware of and a preliminary assessment of the issues you have raised are being carried out to enable the Commission to assess whether, and if so what, enforcement action is appropriate in this case. The EHRC values all the information it receives from members of the public and others about possible breaches of equality and human rights legislation.
Because of the need to maintain confidentiality during any initial assessments it is not possible to provide you with individual feedback on this matter. The Commission will however publish details of any enforcement action taken where it is legally possible and appropriate to do so.
RMConlon" [might be a typo there - it could be Condon]
"says f**k all"
I suggest he should write to them again, tell them he's from Trinidad, and ask what the membership criteria are for the British National Party. Bet he gets a more informative reply than the above nonsense. In fact - any of you could do that ...
Let me know what they say.
I detect the stench of an almighty double standard.

SURVEILLANCE
Picked up this little warning while wandering around – very well put. We should all at least note the warning itself. The original can be found here if you scroll down to the very bottom.
This is from a Swedish website. It’s written by a Swede who doesn’t have English as his first language, so spelling and grammatical errors are to be expected. He certainly speaks/writes English better than I speak Swedish (stereotype alert// which Danes say is incoherent anyway).
Actually, the blog and comments – quite long – have some interesting things to say in their own right, though I very much doubt he’s a Swedish Nationalist.
Then again, we’re British; so what can anyone tell us about being under surveillance all the time?

THE LAWYERS ARE ASSES
The laughable fine on "Baroness" Scotland for falling foul of a law she helped to draft is another example of how low justice has sunk in our country.
The "Baroness" herself is an immigrant but on account of our stupid laws is Attorney General.
Was there no native British lawyer competent to hold this position? Of course there was.
She was given this position of authority on account of her ethnic origins and presumably to demonstrate the government's diversity credentials.
She does not seem to be very bright as she was unable to detect the illegal status of her employee, a crime which under her law is considered serious enough to merit a maximum fine of £10,000.
On the other hand she would presumably have sympathy with immigrants, whether legal or not being one herself.
That people such as this lady should have such power is a disgrace and shows she has been promoted way above her capabilities, and the folly of giving immigrants any power. She would be quite happy for our country to accomodate millions more immigrants.
The Attorney General is supposed to uphold the law and protect the interests of the people. This she clearly has not done.
It is often said by the "Left" that people who were born here should be entitled to remain as British citizens on account of that.
Well she was not born here, so she should not only be sacked for her criminality but be deprived of her citizenship and deported to the country of her birth.
She is not a fit person to sit in judgement on us, even if she were clever as she, by dint of her country of birth will never put the interests of our country first.
Send her back now.

THE SCALES OF INJUSTICE.
The jury system has for hundreds of years been the guarantor of the integrity of our justice system.
To have one's guilt or innocence decided by 12 of one's fellow citizens instead of the king or government as in other countries made justice fair and eqitable and the cornerstone of our democracy.
Sometimes, especially recently the government has been thwarted in its aims by this system and moves were afoot to abolish it.
People from all walks of life and religion were obliged if called to do jury service and this task although sometimes inconvenient and irksome has helped preserve British Justice.
Now it seems there are some who are not considered fit to be jurors--members of the BNP. One of our members has been told that he is not suitable to be a jurer because of his membership of the party.
A person can be a communist, supporter of terrorism, the IRA or even a recent arrival to these shores and still be a jurer but a member of the BNP (who supports no foreign power or terrorist organisation) obviously in the eyes of the authorities would be unable to give an unbiased verdict and thus beyond the pale.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SCENARIO?
Would a Labour supporter or muslim be able to be impartial to a known BNP supporter?
OR DOES JUSTICE FOR US NOT MATTER?

"WORKLESSNESS"
A number of years ago when I went to the local corner shop to purchase a pint of milk, a small bread loaf, 1lb of potatoes, a couple of carrots, a small onion and a lads mag to boot! The new attractive female shop assistant at the counter said: "Oh! you must live on your own?"
I replied: "Yes! How did you guess?"
She said: You're an UGLY git!
Charming!
In the latest edition of Borough Life, a quarterly publication of Wigan Metro's propaganda onslaught to highlight what a wonderful job the boys and girls from our council's Elliot Brown 'newspeak' fraternity have achieved; was a lovely article on page 14, titled " Getting Wigan Back to Work!"
Now, below are the very words that thrusts this article smack between the eyes!
Borough Life begins: IT USED TO BE CALLED UNEMPLOYMENT. THESE DAYS IT IS KNOWN AS "WORKLESSNESS!"
To be honest I am totally flummoxed with the above re-wording of unemployment! Can anyone enlighten me please?
Boasting that a MAJOR conference in Wigan recently highlighted two key tasks for the borough - removing the barriers to work or training and encouraging more people to set up their own businesses.
The conference took place against the backdrop of a warts and all (no doubt GENITAL! Ed.) survey of the borough's economy by economic forecasters Experian.
It goes on to say that: they predicted that Wigan, because of it's manufacturing and construction traditions, would fare worse than places like Salford and Manchester which have a more varied economy!
No S**t Sherlock?
It also goes on to say: In the medium term there will be modest growth - but not before a dip this year and next year which will continue to have a big impact on jobs till 2014.
Now, apart from a photo of a good looking local lass who runs an "environmental consultancy" mid-way through the page, the next article slaps me around the chops!
" Shopping for skills and jobs"
Now please bear with me on this, and lets skip the inevitable and stay focused? But, Anthony Mohammed, has set up the council's skill shop and a new one has just opened in Wigan's Grand Arcade.
He continues: These unique places 'one stop shops' for jobs, education and training. they offer personal support and individuals even have their own adviser.
The new shop, which will be open weekdays as well as Thursday evenings and Saturdays, builds on the success...........blah......blah.......blah.........
He added: "We want the shop to be friendly and attractive place to visit and get the help they need. It's very EXCITING to be in the heart of a popular shopping centre and ALREADY WE 'VE HAD 500 VISITORS in such a short space of time."
If someone is popping in to town, can they please get me an off the peg Warehouse Managers job about 30k, a pack of streaky bacon, half a dozen eggs and a small packet of frozen peas!
Cheers, I'll sort you out when you get back!

Wilders' entire speech to the Dutch parliament.
In a powerhouse speech to the Dutch parliament, a speech full of biting sarcasm and homely, sometimes grotesquely humorous imagery, Geert Wilders ridicules the corrupt, anti-Dutch, give-the-country-away-to-the-Muslims ruling political establishment, and calls for national elections.
Frankly, he could have made the same speech to our parliament and it would have been every bit as meaningful.
This is the speech where he introduced the Head Rag Tax. Worth reading.
We definitely need BNP MPs so similar speeches can be made in our parliament.
If you want to read it all, go here.

WHY CAN'T I STOP LAUGHING?

The Freedom Party leader called the tax a “Head Rag Tax” (kopvoddentax). “Should we get it introduced, we would finally get some money back from Islam,” he said. “The Mosques, headscarves, and long Muslim dresses pollute the streets ofNetherlands
At last something that makes sense!
Why can’t I stop laughing?
Now watch the Mohammedan infil-traitors run amok and throw hissy fits:
The Dutch Freedom Party leader proposes creation of a new ‘Head Scarf Tax.” During a debate on the state budget on wednesday, Wilders proposed an initial 1000 euro annual Head Scarf tax.
“Those who want to wear a hijab, must first get a permit,” said Wilders.

IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST
Authorities have been criticised for pursuing a case against two teenagers who were cleared of planning a bombing at their school in Greater Manchester
A jury took 45 minutes to acquit Ross McKnight, 16, and Matthew Swift, 18, of planning to murder teachers and pupils at Audenshaw High School.
…
Asst Ch Con Terry Sweeney, of Greater Manchester Police (GMP), said senior officers and the CPS felt it was in the public interest to take the case to court.
"In this case the jury took the decision not to convict and we respect their decision," she said.
The head teacher of Audenshaw school, Stephen Turner, said he could not speculate on the decision taken by the CPS.
"Clearly the police investigated thoroughly and presented information to the CPS and that decision was taken by them and we respect that decision," said Mr Turner.
"Our experience of both of them was that they were perfectly normal, ordinary boys, clearly both of them achieved well at their exams."
Right, we’re all familiar with this story having heard a great deal about it over the past week or so. I want to focus on a small part of the above report:
… senior officers and the CPS felt it was in the public interest to take the case to court.
In what way was it in the public interest to lock these two boys up for the last six months – one in youth custody, the other in Strangeways prison? To spend all that money prosecuting? Only for the jury to acquit in 45 minutes (The equivalent of a jury saying “stop wasting our time on nonsense”)
So they had held conversations on the internet and let their imaginations run away with them? Good lordy lordy, by that standard my brother and I must be lined up for execution a la Menendez if anyone’s been monitoring our internet conversations …
“In the public interest” is an interesting phrase. You are not the public referred to, and neither am I. It’s some amorphous thing that represents no more than their own wishes when they can’t think of a decent excuse for those wishes. Why are we importing millions of foreigners? Because it’s “in the public interest”. Why aren’t you prosecuting that man who took a hammer to Tony Ward’s head? Because it’s “in the public interest”. Why did you put these two over-imaginative boys through that ordeal? Because it’s “in the public interest”. Why aren’t you thoroughly investigating the lead-up to theIraq
Well, we know that not all Muslims are terrorists but, certainly in this country, all terrorists are Muslims. Be nice for officialdom if it could turn around and say “ … but look at those two teenagers – that was terrorism. So you see, there’s nothing particularly risky about letting Muslims in because white British people are doing it too”.
And that’s why those two boys spent six months under lock and key, and were then put on trial on charges that would have ruined their entire lives if found guilty. Who cares – they’re only white trash anyway, not like our good decent PEACEFUL Labour-voting Muslim incomers.

A MOTLEY MEETING OF FASCISTS
I watched part of the TUC conference on television today where they spent most of the morning attacking our Party. A strange priority for a union meeting I think.
I WAS PLEASED to see their concern about our Party. It shows how much we must be worrying them, and that they can see the threat to their well funded cabal posed by us. They would not have discussed us in such detail 5 years ago.
I WAS ANNOYED by many of the delegates speaking in foreign accents who had the gall to try and dictate which party British workers could join.
I WAS SHOCKED by their condemnation of the slogan "British Jobs For Brotish Workers" when in the past that was the main function of unions.
I WAS AMAZED that these people still blame us for violence and hooliganism when it all comes from their side, as shown by the plea from one delegate for help to disrupt our conference.
I WAS ASTONISHED at their claim to be fighting Fascism by advocating a Fascist method of denying our Party a platform and our members the right to work.
I WAS REASSURED by the low calibre of the delegates and the fact that we could beat any one of them in an argument (that is why they will not debate with us).
I WAS OVERJOYED by the worry of the NUJ delegate about the loss of jobs of these liars. Perhaps if they were more truthful they would sell more papers. Nobody believes them any more.
I WAS AMUSED by their faith that the Labour Government has time to destroy us before being kicked out and their belief that they have the support of most workers.
I WAS INVIGORATED in my determination to fight these dinosaurs (politically, not with claw hammers).
and I WAS REASSURED that these sheep knew so little of our plans.
We are better than them and they can huff and puff as much as they like but we will retake our country.
They are the past and we are the future AND I THINK SOME OF THEM KNOW IT!
How far the Trades Union Movement has sunk!

WE ALWAYS GET THE BLAME
The recent disturbances in Birmingham and also in Harrow show the frustration of people at the continual islamification of our country which is taking place.
Of course the BNP have been brought into it and UAF have stuck their provocative noses in with their banners blaming us as of course has the media.
We have nothing to do with these disturbances but the muslims and the reds blame us in spite of our Party disowning the British protestors. It is said that their protests were provocative.
Much as I condemn the action of the protestors it was a peaceful demonstration until the muslims and UAF kicked off.
The islamification of Britain is provocative to British people. Where can we make our concerns noted if not in the areas affected?
Significant is the violence shown to the protestors who only seek to voice an opinion.
We, as a party seek to save our country by democratic means through the ballot box, but yet the government tries to destroy us by any means they can find.
The disquiet at our being displaced in our own country will not go away in the unlikely case that we are banned. It will only fester and severe violence will ensue. The will of the people will prevail but we want to do it peacefully and democratically.
The fact that we are dragged into this shows the State fears us more than the demonstrators and that the democratic way is more effective.
However if our rights are taken away we would have nothing to lose and the gloves would be off.
Destroy our party and there will be civil war.We don't want it and always avoid conflict but whatever they do we WILL defend our people and country.
The government say they are going to have a programme to show white working class people that they are not being discriminated against in jobs and housing. So it seems it takes a riot to make them listen.
Once again they use the wrong tactics, persecute those who campaign democratically and reward violence (a bit like the criminal law where the innocent have fewer rights than the criminals.
This to me seems a dangerous course of action and a powder keg is being created.
How do they justify then all ethnic employment policies?
Today in Burnley I was shown a brochure by a firm called "Plumlife" which is putting subsidised 4 and 5 bedroom houses up all with muslim toilets.obviously not for Brits.
Is this not discrimination? On the brochure was featured an Asian family.
So much for equality!
So there you have it, we are blamed when we have nothing to do with it. We can't win against this media bias but in the end WE WILL TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK, hopefully by peaceful means but take it we will.

BIG DEAL IN HOUSING PROVISION NOT.
Good news. Wigan Metro is building 14 council houses much to the delight of "Lord" Smith, at a cost of £128000 each. Some of this is funded by the government and some by the Metro. BIG DEAL!
When I was chairman of housing on Billinge UDC we had 602 council housed for a population of less than ten thousand. So 14 houses in 20 years for 380 thousand people in the Wigan Metro area is nothing.
Why, when we are supposedly richer than we were in the Fifties are we able to only build such a paltry amount when there is so much local need?. 50 years ago each little UDC built far more than 14 houses each year.
There is a large waiting list made much worse by the huge numbers of immigrants secretly housed in the area. If these uninvited people were not here we would not be so short of houses.
The policy of not building council houses was brought in by the Tories and has been continued under new Labour while both parties have allowed a massive increase in immigrant numbers and given them priority over locals whose families have been paying into the system for years.
The price of these houses is extraordinary at £128,000. Presumably the council own the land and a good house can be built a lot cheaper.
But who are these houses for. Will they be for large muslim families and will the toilets have to face Mecca (or away I'm not quite sure)
I'll bet Wiganers will not get any priority in spite of having to pay a portion of the cost through council taxes.
If they got rid of the dead wood in the Metro (that's people like you Elliot and you Lord Smith) and the uninvited immigrants they would be able to afford to house Wiganers decently. Lord Smith's allowances for 2 years would pay for one house so you can see the problem.
The combined allowances for Councillors would have paid for 8 of these overpriced house each year.
Tory and Labour governments and councils are respnsible for this shambles and it just indicates how far we as a country have fallen.

A QUESTION OF PRIORITIES
An indication of the Governments and MPs concern about the troops in Afganistan is shown below, taken from "Private Eye"
You will note the composition of troops seen by the MPs in the effort to demonstrate "diversity".
These ethnic minorities and women have to do extra duties to demonstrate that worthy cause.
Also note Bill Rammell playing with an expensive toy in his safe playpen Camp Bastion while less secure vehicles are used in active combat.
What takes the biscuit in this foreign foray is the anger of the MPs at being delayed by the need to transport wounded soldiers. Do these army people not realise how important it is to get these valuable people back to their taxpayer funded second homes.
Soldiers are expendable, just cannon fodder but MPs must not be delayed. They have important work to do in the bars of the Houses of Parliament and it was really asking too much to ask them to interrupt their busy rounds of junketing to go to Afganistan.
The esteem in which the government holds our soldiers is shown by the MoDs sending a bill of £395 to the Army Benevolent Fund for a licence and two hours use of a lawn.
Of course in these times of recession costs have to be kept to a minimum and after bank bail outs, bankers bonuses, second homes, moat cleaning, duck houses, porn videos there is little to spare.
Tough choices must be made and it seems the army is being made to take them.

THE OFFICIAL COVER UP ACT.
Below is an admittedly out of date extract from the official tenancy agreement for asylum seekers (Thanks to the member who obtained it). It will have been up to date since and have been made even more generous. I do know they have their gardens maintained as well nowadays.
As can be seen these agreements are governed by the Official Secrets act and landlords not permitted even to admit their state funded tenants are asylum seekers, although looking at them it would be pretty obvious.
The list of goodies these uninvited and unwelcome "guests" are entitled to is shown above, including new electical goods and furniture. Second hand would be OK for Brits but then they have to save to pay their taxes to subsidise the above, and of course pay their telly licence
The list of goodies these uninvited and unwelcome "guests" are entitled to is shown above, including new electical goods and furniture. Second hand would be OK for Brits but then they have to save to pay their taxes to subsidise the above, and of course pay their telly licenceAlso if these immigrants are fearful of moving about amongst us nasty Wiganers they can have a subsidised car.
That all these advantages are covered by the official secrets act show that the authorities do not want the general public to be aware of this injustice and to continue to colonise our country at our expense.
How long will it be before our people wake up and see the disaster being visited on them at their own expense.
Perhaps that is why the State tries to stifle our Party's progress. They know we would expose them for the liars and traitors they are.
PHILOSOPHICAL BELIEFS AND THE LAW
I just read the following post on EU Referendum
The spectre of a 4°C warmer world, with alligators basking off the coast of Sweden, a vast desert surrounding the Mediterranean and a largely uninhabitable mainland Europe, is to be presented to EU member states by foreign secretary David Milliband.
This is part of a "diplomatic push" by Britain to persuade rich countries to put climate change at the top of their agendas. Thus Milliband will address French, Swedish and Danish foreign ministries in the next 48 hours.
Then, heedless of the carbon footprint, he travels to New York where he will meet foreign ministers from other rich countries next week to hammer out details of a major treaty on global warming ahead of UN talks in Thailand, which will conclude at a crucial summit in December in Copenhagen.
A Foreign Office spokesman said using powerful climate change imagery to concentrate official minds was justifiable because the worldwide geopolitical implications of profound climate change were so enormous.
Meanwhile, a senior executive of Newcastle-based Grainger plc, Tim Nicholson, has claimed he was unfairly dismissed because his views on the environment conflicted with other managers' "contempt for the need to cut carbon emissions".
In the first case of its kind, an employment tribunal decided that Nicholson had views amounting to a "philosophical belief in climate change", allowing him the same legal protection against discrimination as religious beliefs.
We are told that Judge David Sneath said at the employment tribunal: "[Nicholson] has certain views about climate change and acts upon those views in the way in which he leads his life. In my judgment his belief goes beyond a mere opinion."
The decision comes two years after the law on religious discrimination was changed so that beliefs no longer had to be "similar" to religious faith to receive protection in the workplace. Under the new law "philosophical belief" is protected by the law alongside religious belief if it passes a legal test requiring it to be cogent, serious and "worthy of respect in a democratic society".
Nicholson's lawyer said that the case reflected a necessary clarification of the law that would affect large numbers of employees.
"This is a case that will clarify the law for the ever-increasing numbers of people who take a philosophical stance on the environment and climate change, and who lead their lives according to those principles", said Shah Qureshi, head of employment law at solicitors Bindmans.
"These are often deeply held views based on the premise that without change humanity will suffer … people should be able to express such views without fear of retribution or discrimination."
Now then, I have this "philosophical belief" that warmists are the spawn of the devil, that their atheist creed is deeply offensive, that they should be banned from speaking in public about their religion, and that the sinister rituals which accompany their religion should be practiced only in private and then only between consenting adults.
Can I have a job please?
In response I made the following comment:

"In the first case of its kind, an employment tribunal decided that Nicholson had views amounting to a "philosophical belief in climate change", allowing him the same legal protection against discrimination as religious beliefs."

The spectre of a 4°C warmer world, with alligators basking off the coast of Sweden, a vast desert surrounding the Mediterranean and a largely uninhabitable mainland Europe, is to be presented to EU member states by foreign secretary David Milliband.
This is part of a "diplomatic push" by Britain to persuade rich countries to put climate change at the top of their agendas. Thus Milliband will address French, Swedish and Danish foreign ministries in the next 48 hours.
Then, heedless of the carbon footprint, he travels to New York where he will meet foreign ministers from other rich countries next week to hammer out details of a major treaty on global warming ahead of UN talks in Thailand, which will conclude at a crucial summit in December in Copenhagen.
A Foreign Office spokesman said using powerful climate change imagery to concentrate official minds was justifiable because the worldwide geopolitical implications of profound climate change were so enormous.
Meanwhile, a senior executive of Newcastle-based Grainger plc, Tim Nicholson, has claimed he was unfairly dismissed because his views on the environment conflicted with other managers' "contempt for the need to cut carbon emissions".
In the first case of its kind, an employment tribunal decided that Nicholson had views amounting to a "philosophical belief in climate change", allowing him the same legal protection against discrimination as religious beliefs.
We are told that Judge David Sneath said at the employment tribunal: "[Nicholson] has certain views about climate change and acts upon those views in the way in which he leads his life. In my judgment his belief goes beyond a mere opinion."
The decision comes two years after the law on religious discrimination was changed so that beliefs no longer had to be "similar" to religious faith to receive protection in the workplace. Under the new law "philosophical belief" is protected by the law alongside religious belief if it passes a legal test requiring it to be cogent, serious and "worthy of respect in a democratic society".
Nicholson's lawyer said that the case reflected a necessary clarification of the law that would affect large numbers of employees.

WHERE WAS MR BURNHAM?
We had a really great day out yesterday in Leigh and watched them win in style against Whitehaven.
Unfortunately Leigh have nevertheless been relegated. If they had played as well as they did yesterday through the season they would have avoided this fate.
However the future beckons and I'm sure they will be promoted at the end of next season.
Knowing his strong support for his constituency I had hoped to see the esteemed MP and Health Secretary Andy Burnham at this vital match.
Alas he was nowhere to be seen.
Today when questioned about his absence on television while visiting a new NHS school academy in Wythenshaw (whatever that is),I believe he said that the people of Leigh must stick together.
He did not seem to show his feelings of solidarity yesterday as shown by his absence.
In reality I did not expect to see him. Leigh is just a meal ticket to him.
He has no real allegiance to the town. He could be representing any other until now safe seat. He is just a government lackey, allegiance to the Labour Party and himself but not the people.
I'll bet when election time comes he will be seen all over the town.
With luck it will be too late for him, a sham campaigner from a discredited government.
After the match we went to a club and were AMAZED at the support for the BNP there.
You'd better show your commitment to Leigh a bit more Mr Burnham or you may be in for a shock next year.

AT WHAT AGE DOES A HUMAN BEING BECOME RACE-CONSCIOUS?
How about six months?
In other words, before they can understand a word, and years before they have had any interaction with anyone of a different race. And this is pretty much all children. One can only suppose black babies are the same, but in reverse.
The BNP is given a hard time for being race-conscious. You’d think they’d start by giving a hard time to their own children first, wouldn’t you. Fancy that – criticizing us for doing what even their own babies do as a matter of course.
So ignore the idiots who criticize you, and all of the BNP, for being race-conscious, because it’s perfectly natural to prefer your own kind … just like any other species on this planet. It’s just the way nature works.

A MOTLEY BUNCH OF FOOLS.
Apologies for the poor quality of this picture but it represents the quality of the people pictured.
Many in Wigan will have been unaware of this momentous meeting of political giants which took place at a local Labour Club recently. I was informed about the meeting but had a prior engagemant which prevented me from questioning these tireless campaigners for the people of Wigan.
Recognisable even in this picture is the ubiquitous ex Cllr Franzen who has still refused my challenge to a debate.
His co pannellists include a muslim woman and according to the blurb, representitives from the Socialist Workers Party and the Respect Party.
Ex Cllr Franzen, the furher of the CAP in Wigan seems to have peculiour allies for one who proclaims his allegiance to the "community" in Wigan.
What has a muslim woman got to do with our community? How many of that religion live here?
Which community does ex Cllr Franzen represent, those who have been replaced in their jobs by immigrants or those who wait endlessly on council waiting lists for a house only to be leapfrogged by asylum seekers whose cause he seems to endlessly promote?
Why is he associated with the Socialist Workers Party (surely a contradiction in terms) which attacks us, the BNP, with claw hammers, which has a policy of "British Jobs for British Workers" as a policy? Does he object to this policy or is his community based elsewhere?
Which workers is he trying to protect? certainly not the British Workers.
The Respect Party is party to this violence but it seems only respects views which co incide with its own. Not much respect for other views then.
Why was Dave Nellist invited when he is too extreme even for the Labour Party?
I don't know whether his wealthy friend George Galloway turned up, he was probably in his villa in Portugal, nor do I know how many attended this epic meeting. I have had no reports of crowds in Enfield Street trying to get in.
No I'm sorry ex Cllr Franzen the people of Wigan do not like you. You are too abrasive and your views too extreme and you DO NOT PUT WIGANERS FIRST which I would have thought was imperative even for an ex councillor.
The people of Wigan can see where your sympathies lie and they are not with them and that is why YOU WERE BOOTED OUT.

TALES FROM THE No 10 FUHRERBUNKER
ESTABLISHMENT 'COLLUDING IN PLIGHT OF SICK MAN BROWN'?
"The Prime Minister of Great Britain is a man too ill to be holding the Office." This was the conclusion last week of a senior civil servant liaising regularly with Gordon Brown. For reasons which will become clear, the person involved will not go public with the evidence for this conclusion. The same applies to a high-ranking Treasury official who told us "In both a physical and mental sense, the Prime Minister is a very sick man, seriously disabled." Three years ago, an Opposition MP told nby "He is on extremely heavy doses of cutting-edge anti-depressants, but so far they have made little difference". And during the last fortnight, another high-ranking government source claimed "He is now on pills which restrict the foods he can eat and what he can drink. He is losing the sight of his good eye quite rapidly. It's a mess, and nobody knows what to do".
Rumours have circulated about Gordon Brown's health for a number of years. As long ago as 2004, Simon Heffer wrote in the Spectator that he displayed many signs of Asperger's syndrome: humourlessness, lack of irony and obsessional behaviour patterns. Nby itself ran a long piece in February 2007, predicting fairly accurately how Brown's rigid responses to given situations would prove to be inappropriate, and his behaviour in the end dysfunctional. We noted at the time 'If the Labour Party can organise seventy-three signatories to a document of intent named 'Anyone but Gordon', then there must be something about the man which might make him unfit to be Prime Minister'. In fact, we had already been advised by then that the PM had been on large doses of SSRI anti-depressants - the class of drugs derived from Prozac.
The overall story is well known in lobbyist circles. A senior member of this group told us that "Brown is in a very dark place. Sarah [hiswife, Mrs Brown] has begged him on several occasions to seek help, but he resists most offers of advice." Yet another popular journalist said "I'm afraid all the stories about him throwing things around and screaming at secretaries are entirely true. He behaves impeccably in public and can really turn on the charm when he needs to in private - but inside the bunker he behaves appallingly. He's also binging on junk food late at night - you can see he's gaining weight".
However, our investigation suggests that there is a more important reason for the PM's weight gain: he is now on a different class of drugs, for which ballooning weight is one of the least dangerous side-effects.
These drugs are called Mono Amine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs). Before the arrival of Prozac derivatives, they were the first line of attack when dealing with severely depressed patients. But a senior physician told us last month "A GP would have to be insane to prescribe MAOIs these days - SSRIs are safer, with far fewer side-effects. Apart from anything else, it's almost impossible to get hold of them".
This is indeed correct. In 2003, SKB withdrew their MAOI brand-leader Parnate because of the dangers it represented, and also because SSRIs had none of the disadvantages. However, at the time several regional mental health units reported that for some patients, SSRIs were nowhere near as effective.
Thus there is evidence that, having tried and seen no help from the newer generation of drugs, Gordon Brown has now been put onto MAOIs. If this is true, then he is indeed in a desperate state - as we shall explain.
This evidence was handed to us inadvertantly. The senior source referred to at the start of this piece mentioned "the latest nonsense - a huge list of things he can't eat or drink because of the drugs he's on...most importantly, cheese and Chianti". Every doctor in Britain would recognise these contraindications instantly: for they are the two great verbotens for people taking MAOI drugs.
As long ago as 2001, prescribing psychiatrists described MAOIs as 'the last resort now we have better drugs'. However, for all their downsides (several thousand people around the world have died as a result of ignoring the dietary advice re MAOIs) this older class of drugs has one huge advantage: for severe depression and obsessive compulsive disorder it remains very effective.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is relatively common. Most of us display some obsessive features in everyday life, but under stress a minority of people become borderline or actual OCD in their behaviour, and need medication to control both this and the depression which almost always presents soon afterwards. The most obvious symptom is a compulsive need to carry out functions such as hand-washing or counting almost incessantly. (The Asperger's syndrome 'Rain Man' personality displays these too, but the two conditions are easily separable on other bases. Our view is that Brown has OCD, not Asperger's syndrome.)
Gordon Brown's symptoms are obvious when viewed in this light: the constant repetition of phrases, and an almost embarrassing (for his Party) need to spray every Parliamentary answer with statistics. Lifting out of poverty, the Tories are the do-nothing Party, global problems require global solutions - these and myriad others have been repeated over and over ad nauseam. Equally, the six million lifted out of poverty, twelve million helped by mortgage benefits, two million new jobs created: when interrogated, these figures often prove to be illusory, but they - and the constant speech repetition - represent Brown's unconscious means of controlling the severe anxiety that accompanies depression with OCD.
We have no means (as yet) of proving his use of MAOIs, although the 'long list of forbidden foods'
is the nearest one will get to a smoking gun - short of a written, signed diagnosis or prescription. We also cannot be certain how long the PM has been taking them, but the remark 'the latest nonsense' suggests that this is a relatively recent development. On average, a heavy dose of MAOI therapy would start to display some results within twenty days to six weeks. Gordon Brown has reportedly returned from 'easily his longest break from Downing Street' feeling 'very much refreshed and up for it'. It is more than likely he took the uncharacteristically long break on medical advice. And it will be interesting to note whether his behaviour changes.
One feature unlikely to change is the increasingly obvious difficulty he has finding his way to and from podiums, and lack of peripheral vision. This (according to a senior, medically-trained source) is the result of failing sight in the one eye he has left. We found so many confirmations of this story from so many sources, it seems to us impossible for it to be pure invention. It appears to be universally recognised in the Cabinet and upper echelons of the Civil Service.
So: here we seem to have a man (unless huges cadres of non-colluding senior people are liars) on a rarely used, dangerous drug to control his mental state - and getting close to a stage of serious disablement in relation to his eyesight. As this would clearly make any such person wholly unfit to fulfil the Premiership - especially in the dangerous, broken world we now inhabit - why hasn't the story broken more widely? Why hasn't the Opposition leapt on it? In answering this question, we need to delve into the murkier waters of Gordon Brown's psyche - and the cynical guessing-game that passes for public service in the House of Commons....on all sides.
Brown rules by fear and smear. He always has done, and it is the main thing he is known (and hated) for in the Labour Party. A former Cabinet Minister told nby in early 2008 "Nobody ran against Gordon because nobody could face the slur, innuendo and blackmail that would go with it. When he gets going, Brown and his little coterie of spinners are animals". Several similar observations appeared in national newspapers during late 2007. There has also remained the rumour that even Blair himself eventually fell foul of this, and left not of his own volition but as a result of threats from the Brown camp. That must remain as conjecture: but given his alleged track record of not entirely legal actions, Blair would have had a lot to be frightened about.
The PM evokes a certain degree of loyalty from close confidantes, but the main reason why no Brown staffer has broken ranks is that this would mean the end of the meal-ticket: either Brown would fall, or he would deny...and bury the whistle-blower. Luncheon Vouchers are also behind the remaining silence in the Parliamentary Party as a whole. Two senior Lobby correspondents have confirmed to us in the last three weeks that "even the most anti-Brown camp think there's no alternative to Brown". Nearly all Labour backbenchers now expect a rout, but think that if Brown were ousted they would be wiped out. Comically, the exact opposite view pertains in the Tory Shadow Cabinet, where "they're so terrified of Labour dumping Brown, they'd do anything to leave him precisely where he is".
This bears further examination on a number of levels. Three of our sources confirmed the general view that the parlous state of Brown's health is well-known among Conservative bigwigs. That they collude in an allegedly dangerously ill man remaining in charge of Government (purely to ensure their own victory) is selfish cynicism of the worst kind - and a damning charge to which, if and when the truth of this matter comes to light, they will have no defence. It also reinforces the electorate's feeling that senior Cameron Tories are woefully lacking in confidence - or convincing alternatives to what the Government is doing.
As to whether Brown is a liability or an asset for voters, the latest poll (30.8.09) in the Guardian showed that Brown's ratings have actually fallen as 'signs' of economic green shoots have become apparent. In short, when it comes to the Machiavellian 'keep him where he is' strategy, New Labour have called it wrong. As ever, they are probably being too clever for their own good.
Perhaps more disturbing is the passive political bias (and dereliction of Constitutional duty) represented by the obvious collusion in any cover-up about the Prime Minister's health problems throughout the senior ranks of the Civil Service. One of the main sources of this story told us, "It's a farce, and utterly disgraceful. There isn't a mandarin in Whitehall who's unaware of Brown's condition - they tittle-tattle the tale wherever they go, dining out on their inside knowledge, and yet won't lift a finger to bring it to the public's attention. We are being let down at every turn by the spineless Establishment running this country".
One can appreciate how a similar situation developed from 1935 onwards in relation to the King's relationship with Mrs Simpson. But it is hard to understand why the press - especially the right-wing press - haven't had a harder go at nailing this story in 2009. The tabloids are too busy shouting threats into celeb letter-boxes, and the more liberally inclined papers may well share the New Labour view that loyalty is their duty at this stage of the game; but that seems unlikely - and what of Dacre at The Mail, or the Telegraph, still fresh from its huge success in blowing the lid off the expenses scandal?
The answer usually comes back 'there's no physical evidence, and it's an easy story to deny - to dismiss as just another anti-Brown smear campaign'. But perhaps the clues about MAOI usage by the Prime Minister make it much harder to deny....and much easier to get written confirmation. For if it's true, Brown's entourage must be sending out strict dietary requirements ahead of his regularly catered public engagements; one could even monitor what he eats on such occasions.
Not Born Yesterday lacks both the sources and resources to do this job. The sole purpose of this piece is to get matters to a stage where the story is out in the public domain, such that the real people who count in Britain - the voters - can make their own minds up about it. And - who knows? - to create a situation in which the Opposition might at last do its duty, and question the PM's fitness for office on these well-known (if not as yet well-documented) bases.

As to whether Brown is a liability or an asset for voters, the latest poll (30.8.09) in the Guardian showed that Brown's ratings have actually fallen as 'signs' of economic green shoots have become apparent. In short, when it comes to the Machiavellian 'keep him where he is' strategy, New Labour have called it wrong. As ever, they are probably being too clever for their own good.
Perhaps more disturbing is the passive political bias (and dereliction of Constitutional duty) represented by the obvious collusion in any cover-up about the Prime Minister's health problems throughout the senior ranks of the Civil Service. One of the main sources of this story told us, "It's a farce, and utterly disgraceful. There isn't a mandarin in Whitehall who's unaware of Brown's condition - they tittle-tattle the tale wherever they go, dining out on their inside knowledge, and yet won't lift a finger to bring it to the public's attention. We are being let down at every turn by the spineless Establishment running this country".
One can appreciate how a similar situation developed from 1935 onwards in relation to the King's relationship with Mrs Simpson. But it is hard to understand why the press - especially the right-wing press - haven't had a harder go at nailing this story in 2009. The tabloids are too busy shouting threats into celeb letter-boxes, and the more liberally inclined papers may well share the New Labour view that loyalty is their duty at this stage of the game; but that seems unlikely - and what of Dacre at The Mail, or the Telegraph, still fresh from its huge success in blowing the lid off the expenses scandal?
The answer usually comes back 'there's no physical evidence, and it's an easy story to deny - to dismiss as just another anti-Brown smear campaign'. But perhaps the clues about MAOI usage by the Prime Minister make it much harder to deny....and much easier to get written confirmation. For if it's true, Brown's entourage must be sending out strict dietary requirements ahead of his regularly catered public engagements; one could even monitor what he eats on such occasions.
Not Born Yesterday lacks both the sources and resources to do this job. The sole purpose of this piece is to get matters to a stage where the story is out in the public domain, such that the real people who count in Britain - the voters - can make their own minds up about it. And - who knows? - to create a situation in which the Opposition might at last do its duty, and question the PM's fitness for office on these well-known (if not as yet well-documented) bases.
