CENSORSHIP IN THE LOCAL WIGAN MEDIA

First you need to go here and read this. More importantly, you need to scroll down and read the comments. The censored comment – No.4 – was the first half of my single comment, which started in 4, and was continued in comment No.5.

http://www.wigantoday.net/wigannews/Asylum-seekers-numbers-fall.4435516.jp

Assuming you have read the entire thing in the link, and so know what this is about, here is the complete comment I posted; what’s above the dotted line is/was the censored comment No.4:

“Ahhh - I see everyone misinterprets the numbers. Nobody asks the question: "WHY is the number of asylum seekers falling?"

So in 2003 there were 921 of them, and now there are only 433. So everyone just assumes that they are all going away again? Sorry to tell you: wrong! And many more came since 2003, too.

The process:

1. You illegally enter the country. (International treaties say you must seek asylum in the nearest safe country ... which means that unless you originate in that circle of European countries on the other side of the North Sea and the English Channel, then we are not your nearest safe country. Hence, illegal entry)

2. You apply for asylum.

3. Asylum is approved (or exceptional leave to remain is granted). Usually.

Step 3 means that you are no longer on the list of asylum seekers and move onto the list of either refugees or those otherwise granted exceptional leave to remain. Both of those things mean that the list of 'Asylum seekers' has reduced. It does not mean the people concerned are not still here, as implied by this story in the paper (and story it is - and a misleading one at that - either deliberately or through ignorance of the process. I wonder which?)

I wonder how long it will be before this comment is removed?

As soon as it goes up, I'll take myself a screen-grab ... just so I will later be able to prove on my local shared blog what is and isn't allowed to be said in the Wigan media. I do know the Wigan BNP was refused access to place a full-page advert at the latest council elections in two Wigan newspapers because a mention in said advert of the plight of the Tibetans was considered unacceptable. I always used to think that the main purpose of the media was to inform. I later came to believe that its purpose is to mislead. Stories like this one, without adequate - or indeed any - explanation of the process relevant to the story only serve to confirm that my later view is nearer correct.

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

In conjunction with this story should also be told the figures for the changes in numbers, in Wigan, of people granted refugee status and those granted exceptional leave to remain. I'm willing to bet that as numbers of asylum seekers go down, the other categories go up - and stay up.

Also: the private sector is responsible for housing asylum seekers, with central government grants. Who becomes responsible for their housing once they change status as detailed above? And who pays? And are they then still only on £39 a week, or 'subsistence only'?

Is this comment a "Hate Crime", Mr Elliot 'Wigan and Leigh Hate Crime Co-ordinator' Brown? (I have screen grabs of your last contributions to these comment columns, so this time please be a little more careful with what you say. Try a little less gratuitous offence this time. And I hope you have taken some grammar lessons since then).

Mr Brown? “

Censorship in action. Doesn’t comment No.5 in the Observer make a lot more sense now?

So: is comment No.4 more “offensive” than comment No.5? No, of course it isn’t. So why was it censored?

The problem with comment No.4 was that I was explaining to people how the media and politicians use sleight of hand (sleight of language? Sleight of thought?) to fool ordinary people into thinking that things must be getting better, so maybe the Labour party/government/council isn’t so bad after all – maybe still worth voting for. And maybe the immigration problem is cooling off. After all:look everyone, the number of asylum seekers is tailing off – there is an end to it after all.

Most people don’t look any deeper than that. Most people don’t ask that crucial question: Why are the numbers going down. After all, there just seems to be more and more immigrants in the town centre every Saturday. But it must be tailing off because “the paper says so”. So the elites succeed yet again in fooling we proles. I’m not criticising anyone here; this is a perfectly normal way of thinking, especially given the impoverished education we’ve been raised on for the past 20-30 years.

Every time I see sleight of hand like this being practiced by the politicians and media, I will point it out. And I can do that. They made a mistake with me: they let me get a proper education (well, the last Tory government did). They let me go to a quality university in my late thirties (Uni. Of Wales, Bangor) as an undergraduate, where I got good Honours in Psychology. So I do know a little about thinking and behaviour. While I was there I did two years’ of Philosophy, including logic, which means I can detect the tricks involved in deceit, and am able to point them out. I also studied a full year of Linguistics, so know a little about Language and how it’s used. In addition, did two years’ Statistics to well past ‘A’ level, and Philosophy of Science.

Then I went to an even better university (Uni. Of Birmingham, Edgbaston) as a postgraduate student, where I studied Cognitive Science (calls itself the Science of the Mind, but in reality is the science of using knowledge of the mind to program computers to do clever things). Students of other subjects thought we were a bunch of weirdos – they were probably right. We studied: the mind, the brain all the way down to molecular functioning level, memory, more philosophy, more logic at a higher level, more linguistics, computer science – a whole tangle of stuff that we had to integrate.

A potted history of Morg’s education – not bad for someone who officially left school with nothing (stopped going at 13 and got a job in a bakery) at 15 and immediately enlisted the day after leaving. Smart move – Enlisted as an aircraft technician apprentice … what are known as ‘Trenchard’s Brats’, or ‘Halton Brats’. So by the end of my teens I was a qualified aircraft Instruments and Electrical Tech. Over years of work I found myself forced to learn about Nav. systems, Radio etc. Basically, if it is touched by electricity, it’s mine, including just about everything in the cockpit.

So, despite being raised a prole and getting almost nothing out of school, Morg is no one’s fool. I’m not saying the politicos and media will never pull a fast one on me, but they will have to work harder at it than the Wigan Observer did with that asylum seekers article. What a load of tosh it was.

The Wigan Observer (and group) is the paper that refused to allow the BNP to run two full-page ads at last May’s council elections. The excuse they gave was our reference to the plight of the Tibetan people as they are being colonised by China.

Wigan Observer group, we are monitoring you (as you no doubt monitor us). Let’s have less bull shall we, a bit more factual reporting when it comes to political matters, and full explanations of what’s happening when you cite numbers like the dodgy set in that article. Stop treating the native Wiganers like the fools Elliot Brown thinks they are. Every time you do that, and we see it, we’ll correct you first in your own comments. If you delete the correction, we’ll correct you here on this weblog. Between myself and Lanky, on this weblog we can muster an education and life experiences that most of your people can only dream of. You watch the BNP, the BNP watches you. We are not a party of knuckledraggers, as usually portrayed in the media.

If anyone wants a copy of the screen grab I took of that entire Wigan Observer page, if you don't know me and require PROOF that I'm telling the truth here (which includes the comments before the censorship, and after it), just email me via my "Contributors" button, and I'll send you a copy by return email.

THE HISTORY OF SLAVERY

The government has said that the history of slavery is to be taught in schools. No doubt emphasis will be placed on the transatlantic slave trade for which we are to be eternally ashamed and in so doing appease those of Afro Carribean descent.
I presume it will not be emphasised that the slave trade continues to this day in Arab countries and that over the ages far more Africans have been enslaved by Arabs than Europeans.

Light will be made of the fact that this country was the first in the world to abolish slavery and to enforce this with the Royal Navy.

Slavery is and was a crime there is no doubt, but why should the average British person be continually blamed for the sins of 200 years ago.
WHY ARE ALL THE WRONGS OF HISTORY OUR FAULT?

WHY DO WE HAVE TO FEEL GUILTY FOR THESE FAR OFF CRIMES?

WHY DO PEOPLE OF AFRICAN ORIGIN HARBOUR THIS PERSECUTION COMPLEX?
After all AFRICANS SOLD THE BRITISH THEIR SLAVES.

Remember decades after slavery was abolished in Wigan ,in 1841--

35 children aged 6-7 were employed in Wigan pits.
324 aged 7-8.
166 aged 9-10.
plus thousands of women employed pulling sledges full of coal in the darkness of the pit harnessed like horses.
Thousands of children worked in mills.
AS THESE WERE "FREE" PEOPLE AND DID NOT BELONG TO A MASTER --

THEY HAD NO VALUE. THEY WERE PAID BARELY ENOUGH TO LIVE ON. IF THEY DIED THEY DIED. NO LOSS TO THE BOSS.

THEIR LOT WAS WORSE THAN THAT OF THE SLAVES.

WILL THEIR PLIGHT , THE PLIGHT OF OUR ANCESTORS ,BE MENTIONED IN THESE SLAVERY LESSONS?
YOU CAN BET YOUR LIFE IT WON'T.

YET WE, THE DESCENDANTS OF THESE ABUSED PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO FEEL GUILTY!
IF APOLOGIES ARE IN ORDER FOR THE AFRICAN DESCENDANTS OF SLAVES--

HOW ABOUT AN APOLOGY FOR US ?whose ancestors were more abused than the African slaves.

TWO KINDS OF CELEBRATION

THE BENEFITS OF DIVERSITY

Compare and contrast these two photographs. The top one was taken yesterday at the Notting Hill Carnival, the celebrationof Afro Carribean culture brought to our capital by immigrants.
It shows the "vibrant" and "diverse" nature of society in London, with litter everywhere and police making an arrest.
The police were happy with the event as owing to "proactive"policing "only" 500 arrests were made.
WHAT A FINE CULTURE THESE PEOPLE BRING TO OUR LAND!


THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT TO ENCOURAGE IN OUR COUNTRY.

The second photo was taken in 1947 of Billinge Walking day. Not quite as good a photo but it shows the activities of an unenriched society with people united. I was somewhere at the back of the half mile long procession but there is no photo of me (possibly a good thing)
There was order, no litter and NO ARRESTS.

It is claimed that poverty and lack of opportunity are the cause of the violence in the immigrant community.

THERE WAS POVERTY IN BILLINGE IN 1947. Many people worked for little in the pits, mills or glassworks--but there was NO CRIME.

People then would have been glad to have had the same standard of living as the participants of the Notting Hill Carnival, which cost £6 million in police costs alone.

WHY THE DIFFERENCE? HAS SOCIETY GONE TO THE DOGS?

Well not altogether. At another celebration of culture, our culture,the RWB, there were NO arrests of the participants but 33 arrests of supporters of diversity.

Of course church processions can not be held in many parishes in Wigan as the costs of policing are said to be too high. The same goes for St Georges celebrations.

but--MONEY IS NO OBJECT when ethnic celebrations are concerned.

WHAT KIND OF SOCIETY DO YOU WANT, PICTURE 1 OR PICTURE 2?

CHAOS OR ORDER? DIVERSITY OR COMMUNITY?

If you want the second of these options--

SUPPORT THE BNP!--- before it is too late.

POST CODE LOTTERY IN WIGAN

Wiganers are losers in a postcode lottery for cancer treatment a report has stated.
Drugs such as the cancer drug "Sutent" are being denied to patients in Wigan as not cost effective even though it is prescribed routinely in Bolton, Bury,Rochdale,Tameside and Oldham.
Patients in these towns are thus given a chance to survive their cancer or at least a bit more time with their loved ones.
Why this discrepancy?
We pay our taxes just as the other towns do and are all in Greater Manchester.

Could it be that we are not sufficiently enriched and thus don't matter?

Could it be that our MPs have safe seats and take us for granted? WIGAN INFIRMARY

Whatever the reason it is a fact that----

THE DEATH RATE AT WIGAN INFIRMARY IS HIGHER THAN AVERAGE FOR THE REGION.

Is there a connection?--We don't know for sure. What we do know is that a larger proportion of Wigan inhabitants have lived here all their lives than the inhabitants of other towns and worked and paid taxes longer. We are entitled to better treatment and the authorities --

SHOULD SEE WE GET IT!

WE'VE PAID FOR IT!

INTERESTING ENCOUNTER IN WIGAN TOWN CENTRE

I had an interesting little encounter today, near the town centre.

I was making my way to the post office from the bus station; this route goes past our M.P. Neil Turner's office. Outside the office I saw a council traffic warden ticketing a parked car. I have no idea who's car it was, but as I was passing I said

"I hope that's our M.P. Neil Turner's car"

"It's always possible" said the warden "but very unlikely. They have private parking behind those big gates"

Why is that interesting?

It's interesting because it's a perfect illustration of how our politicians, national and local, make the rules for policing us in matters large and small, and send out their cash collecters to collect all the fines they can impose. Kerrr ...ching!

Then they set in place arrangements that exempt them from those rules. One law for us, another law for them.

This reminds me of the Labour governments plan to set in place an ID register for all the nation's children ... except that the children of politicians and other prominent people will not be included.

Tired of this sort of thing?

Vote BNP.

RWB, PICTURES,THE EVENT

An excellent RWB was enjoyed by thousands last weekend. We were lucky with the weather and the forecast rain did not come until Saturday evening and it did little to disrupt our enjoyment although some may have lost a little sleep because of it.
The friendly atmosphere at these gatherings has to be experienced to be believed, a spirit of unity of purpose which is so lacking in the rest of society.
Some latecomers were delayed by the undemocratic trash who were intent on preventing this very private celebration of British unity,led of course by the loony Left Bob Crow and the ugly and odious Weyman Bennett. What right have these two and especially the latter to try to prevent our celebration.WHAT FASCISTS!
Unlike the Notting Hill Carnival and Glastonbury there were no arrests on our site and no drugs taken or knives used.
The police were out in force at great cost. This would have been un necessary if the Reds had left us alone and the higher taxes used to pay the police are caused by them.
I believe the police were there partly to protect this rabble as if they had managed to gain access there could have been injury to the protesters such was the anger when it was rumoured there had been a break in.
The fact that we were banned from selling alcohol did not stop us having a good time, in fact some had too good a time and woke up the next day regretting it.
The ban was just a peevish effort to spoil our fun but we carried on.
This must have annoyed them as they came in with a council official (on overtime on Saturday night) to find fault.
SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND, if you look hard enough, and we have been told to expect action to be taken for holding an unauthorised Punch and Judy show without a licence and playing "live music". The music was away from the road in the Marquee and was only on for 30 minutes so they must have been waiting to pounce.

ANY FINE IMPOSED WILL NOT BE PAID!

What a propaganda coup---BNP man jailed for not paying a fine imposed for holding a Punch and Judy show----Bring it on!

Below are some pictures taken on Saturday. I have filmed some of the excellent speeches and will copy them as soon as possible.

The chairman discussing ?dogs

Chopping wood for the camp fire


Children's "Rocket Range"

The chairman meets "Captain Mainwaring"

Three" likely lads"

A scene round the food tent.

A party from St Helens (there were no Wiganers about).

Another scene in the outdoor caff.

Sunday dawned dry after the overnight rain and there were excellent speeches by Richard Barnbrook and Peter Strudwick culminating by the chairman's inspirational closing address delivered from the "Truth Truck" which entered the field to the strains of "I vow to thee my country".Following the speech the festivities ended with our hymn "Jerusalem".

Everyone left the field feeling united and inspired to continue our struggle for justice for the British people.

Afterwards an emergency General Meeting was held where it was decided to continue the practice of allowing leadership challenges each year provided 5% party members signed the nomination form of a candidate.

After a free discussion where points for and against were made the amendment was passed by an overwhelming majority.

RWB PICTURES

Yesterday we went to the RWB festival site to give them a lift with the putting up of the marquees. Good progress had already been made but there was still a lot to do. The pictures show about half of the tents which have been erected. Not seen is the big tent where the political programme takes place. Also is the food tent and a dedicated North West tent.

The top picture shows the fairground in the early stages of erection and surprisingly the field is remarkedly dry.

There have been minor incidents irritations by the Fascist Left. Graffiti has been sprayed on the entrance to the field and used syringes left in front of the gate. I suppose this trash has to have somewhere to dispose of their syringes and they are not the most tidy people.

Alan Warner the farmer is confident the police will have everything under control and the occasion will be a safe one.

The only possible difficulty could be the weather but there is adequate cover and plenty to see and do.

The best thing about these gatherings is the cameraderie , meeting good people in a friendly setting with children playing unmolested by perverts as they could be elsewhere. You always leave invigorated and happy to meet so many like minded people.

I urge any members and their friends to make the effort to attend, it will be well worth it.

Hope to see you this weekend.
