GOLLIWOGS AND RACISM

" For the past four decades Europeans have debated whether the Golliwog is a lovable icon or a racist symbol. …

In this climate the Golliwog doll and other Golliwog emblems were seen as symbols of racial insensitivity. Many books containing Golliwogs were withdrawn from public libraries, and the manufacturing of Golliwog dolls dwindled as the demand for Golliwogs decreased. Many items with Golliwog images were destroyed. Despite much criticism, James Robertson & Sons did not discontinue its use of the Golliwog as a mascot. …

The claim that Golliwogs are racist is supported by literary depictions by writers such as Enid Blyton. Unlike Florence Upton's, Blyton's Golliwogs were often rude, mischievous, elfin villains. In Blyton's book, "Here Comes Noddy Again", a Golliwog asks the hero for help, then steals his car. … [ hahahahahahahaha … sorry, couldn’t help myself; generations ahead of her time. Does this make her a Prophet, may she rest in peace ... ?] … Blyton, one of the most prolific European writers, included the Golliwogs in many stories, but she only wrote three books primarily about Golliwogs: The Three Golliwogs (1944), The Proud Golliwog (1951), and The Golliwog Grumbled (1953). Her depictions of Golliwogs are, by contemporary standards, racially insensitive. An excerpt from The Three Golliwogs is illustrative:

‘Once the three bold Golliwogs, Golly, Woggie, and Nigger, decided to go for a walk to Bumble-Bee Common. Golly wasn't quite ready so Woggie and Nigger said they would start off without him, and Golly would catch them up as soon as he could. So off went Woggie and Nigger, arm-in-arm, singing merrily their favourite song - which, as you may guess, was Ten Little Nigger Boys.’

… The Three Golliwogs was reprinted as recently as 1968, and it still contained the above passage. Ten Little Niggers was also the name of a 1939 Agatha Christie novel, whose cover showed a Golliwog lynched, hanging from a noose. "

Note: Sometimes on the internet I use the name Taffiwog. No, I don’t think this is at all offensive. Is there such a thing as a Paddywog, or a Jockiwog? Are you all Wiggiwogs?

... I was only wondering is all.

Is it criminal to have a sense of humour these days, or is it only considered humour when you are a fully paid-up repulsively obese member of the politically correct brigade suggesting, in front of an audience of millions on the BBC, that people send "poo" through the post to BNP members?

At least we know who ate all the pies.

SUCCESS IN LEIGH AND HYDE

Our Wigan and Leigh group held another successful meeting last night in Leigh.

The meeting was opened by Gary Chadwick followed by the break with hot pot provided by the landlord after which I gave a talk on the lines of "Where We Stand" basically to explain our policies to new attendees and counter the falsehoods spread by the media. This was followed by a question and answer session.

Judging by the reception of the audience and its size, it seems that Leigh is a fertile area for our party and we will seek to expand there in the coming months.

I can understand people who do not know us being influenced by our many enemies in the media and I tried to redress this. I remember being somewhat nervous at attending my first meeting and being very favourably impressed by the members and the moderation of the Party's policies.

The three main parties are united in their opposition to us in spite of being nominally opposed to each other. Their onslaught against us over the last weeks in Hyde showed that there is no difference between them, and they want to preserve their cosy consensus and policies which have led to our financial and social disaster.
They must have had a limited effect and boosted the Labour vote at the expense of the Tories, Lib Dems, Greens and most of all UKIP who only got 33 votes as against our 889.

In spite of their efforts we boosted our share by 2% to nearly 30%,coming second and with more votes than the combined votes of the other four non Labour parties.

WELL DONE HYDE!
Our party, a small party derided as having no future or "no place" in British politics seems to be causing them much concern. The threat of our advance was mentioned on Question Time, This Week and today on Channel 2.
WE REALLY DO PUNCH ABOVE OUR WEIGHT!

HYPOCRITES

The union bosses claim that the BNP has highjacked the protests at refineries and power stations round Britain. They claim they act in the interests of their members and British workers.
HYPOCRITES.

The link below shows that they were actively encouraging foreign workers to come here and helping them with language lessons.
They must have known that these workers would compete directly with their own members and a looming recession would make jobs harder to find.

If they did not see the danger of unemployment for their members they must be thick. I don't think they are. I think they are bent on the destruction of Britain, in other words traitors who betrayed the members whose union contributions keep them in the lap of luxury.

We have not hijacked anything, nor joined a bandwagon. We forecast this trouble years ago but were called extremists for saying so. We forecast a depression years ago.

The unions didn't.
The Government didn't,
The Tories didn't,
And sad to say "You aint seen nothing yet".

Although in these hard times it seems wrong to say "We told you so", it will perhaps show that we have better answers than the others.

PEOPLE OF WIGAN

"Concerns about the REC [Racial Equality Council] first came to light in September of last year when Stoke Council, which has 9 BNP councillors, raised the matter of the lack of audited accounts. It was the BNP’s councillor group leader Alby Walker who initially pressed for an investigation into the affair.

A team of officers examined the REC’s books and earlier this month the council told the trustees that the charity would not be able to continue.

The REC’s senior officer, director Vince Simpson, was apparently unavailable for comment. "

In Stoke, the cleanup started when they elected nine BNP councillors.

Want to start a cleanup of this borough? Want to know exactly what goes on? Want people in there digging away to find out where the money goes and what is done with it when it gets there? If you want change ...

Then you know exactly what to do.

IS THIS THE START OF SOMETHING BIG?

At last the people are turning. The demonstrations at the Total refinery together with the ones all over the country show a people fed up with being ignored and treated like second class citizens in their own country.

The anger has been simmering for months if not years but has been kept under by the fear of being labelled "racist" a mindset promoted by the government and media as a way of control. The tinder was dry and it only needed the spark of resentment of those with little to lose for it to burst into flames.

The rapid nationwide spread of sympathy strikes shows the depth of feeling, as the strikers are losing pay when shivering on the gates(unlike Gordon and co).
Many people have spoken to me of being denied jobs in the North West while foreigners were taken on.
This is not to blame the foreign workers but the greedy bastards who took them on and the incompetent traitors in government who have sold out our country, industry and people.

The timing of the strikes (coincidental I think) could not be better. Gordon Brown telling the world how he will save them and his own country erupts.
He says laws must be obeyed and there is not much he can do. Then why did he steal our slogan "British jobs for British workers"?
He knew it would strike a chord with British workers and the BNP was gaining strength in spite of his worst efforts.

The truth is Labour gave up our sovereignty to Europe and he knew this at the time he made the statement. He thought nobody would notice his betrayal and he could continue to flood the country with immigrants while continuing to persecute us until our cause was lost.

Mandelson says he has sympathy with the workers and says "he feels their pain", yes I bet he does! He is the man who has no trouble with people being "filthy rich"

Cameron and his Tories only berate him for in their words using "a BNP slogan". No sympathy there then.
The unions do nothing as usual apart from blaming us for hi jacking the protest.
NO, GORDON HIJACKED OUR SLOGAN AND THE WORKERS ARE USING IT, thus publicising us and gaining support for us as is shown in the comments sections of the papers, and those with their snouts in the troughs don't like it.

WHO SAID WE HAVE NO INFLUENCE?

KEEP IT UP LADS! LET'S PUT THIS BUNCH OF CORRUPT TRAITORS IN THEIR PLACE.

OUR TIME IS COMING!

TIME FOR A LIGHTER MOMENT

Watch this fine young man having a physical workout. Non-stop for four hours, time-lapsed down into two minutes. He did make a mess mind ...

Leigh BNP Meeting 5th February

This coming Thursday evening 5th February the Leigh and Wigan British National Party will be hosting their second meeting in Leigh.

Our inaugural meeting in Leigh last November, was an overwhelming success, with "standing room only" for those late arrivals the last time. If we indeed improve on the attendance on Thursday evening (of which I am sure we will) a larger venue will be available for the future Leigh meetings. With that, please take note to arrive a little earlier of the 8pm prompt start if you wish to aquire a good seating position.

There has been no better time to show your true feelings in what is a rapidly decaying nation of our's, and with the current debacle of "British Jobs For British Workers" on everyone's lips; ONLY the British National Party can help by putting YOU the British people FIRST and FOREMOST in our own lands.
