Good news today on the BNP website. The Rochdale branch is to be reformed.
At a meeting in Salford the new organiser was introduced and photographed with his Salford supporters.
The question which must be asked is why does Rochdale need a new dawn?
It was a good successful branch two years ago but by accident or design was allowed to wither on the vine.
Another question. Why was the inaugural meeting in Salford? Was there no venue or not enough people in Rochdale to fill a small pub room to make this momentous announcement?
I have spoken at well attended and enthusiastic meetings in that town. They had a candidate in the last General Election and local council candidates.
What went wrong?
What went wrong in many other towns in the North West when local branches and groups are moribund or dead?
Our Wigan and Leigh group has in effect ceased to exist and our organiser sacked following an altercation with Clive Jefferson at our last meeting (to which Clive and the Walker brothers were not invited).
Mike Whitby says he will appoint a new organiser. I hope he can and we can reinstate our group. But who will do the job in the present climate?
There is a dearth of activity in the North West, groups and branches have ceased to exist.
It is claimed by the leadership that it is the fault of local activists, but they should ask why?
Why has the motivation to save our country been stifled?
I would suggest it is the fault of the party management. All enthusiasm has been squashed.
This at a time when all the political indices are in our nationalist favour.
Ethnic riots, record numbers of immigrants, foreign wars, cuts in services, higher unemployment and prospects for our British people, and the prospect of building millions of houses in our overcrowded land to accomodate these aliens.
We should have been making great strides in this environment.
It's no use blaming all the local branch organisers all over the country. They have all lost their enthusiasm. They believe the same things and can not be all wrong.
When things go wrong in battle , industry or politics the buck must stop at the top.
Our party, once full of enthusiam has lost its motivation with membership plummeting whatever they claim.
Ordinary members are dissatisfied with the financial statements (or lack of them) put out by the party hierarchy. It's our money. We want to know where it has gone.
We want a logical programme of the direction we must take.
We want a party unsullied by scandal of which we can be proud.
Then we will regain our enthusiasm and again promote our patriotic ideas, but if we are continually held back by sleaze and incompetence we lose our motivation.
It is said that today our leader has had his Skoda car (a funny vehicle for a supposed nationalist who supports British workers) repossessed for debts owing.
I do not know the details but it leaves a nasty taste and gives the impression of a leader who is not quite honest in the eyes of the voting public.
If true you can be sure that the media will make capital out of that.
Yes I know the other party leaders have wealthy backers, but we supposedly had two million pounds over the last two years so there is no excuse.
Perhaps if we could have a bit more honesty from the leadership we could be motivated, but then that could reveal matters they would rather keep from us.
So for now the thankless task of Mike Whitby in the NW ,trying to revive the moribund but once thriving branches with his small and decreasing group of cohorts smiling in photos in every town to indicate an enthusiasm which is not there will continue.
Maybe soon he will realise his is a lost cause, and maybe the leadership will realise their many cock ups and missed opportunities and reform to a re invigorated party.
I am not hopeful and am beginning to feel that this once great party should be put out of its misery to make room for a new clean nationalist grouping which has the possibility of success.
It saddens me to say this but facts are facts.
It's a pity the leadership and those still believing in them can not see it but our party is heading to oblivion.
This does not mean the end of nationalism or patriotism. These principles are needed more than ever and will come to the fore as the-- BRITISH PEOPLE RISE AGAIN.
