Newsletter, August 2013

The Exeter & District Branch of the British National Party held a meeting at The TwistedOak, Ide, near Exeter on Wednesday 21

stAugust 2013, which commenced at 19.30 hours.

The pub is now run by Chinese immigrants so any reference to the BNP was prohibited,

with the meeting being held under the name of theDrakes Drum Forum. What followsare details of topics discussed at the forum:

1 Announcements

Cliff said that he had leafleted parts of Newton Abbot with some 500 old BNP

leaflets better to put them into folks letter-boxes than to dump them.

Since the last meeting, table top sessions had been held in Plympton andIvybridge.

The first table-top was held at Plympton with Adrian and Cliff. The receptionfrom the people was generally favourable apart from one women who called us

racist scum, but refused to converse with us in a civilised manner. Twentyminutes later a policewoman turn up and said that the police had received a call

from the public saying that a racist incident had occurred. Cliff showed her theliterature on display, which the policewomen agreed was in no way racist. She

appeared embarrassed about the incident, but said that as the complaint involveda supposed racist incident the police had no option but to investigate.

A table-top session was held at Ivybridge on Tuesday 20th

August with Adrian

and Cliff in attendance. Again the overwhelming majority of people weresupportive and took our leaflets with enthusiasm. However, an Asian woman

approached our table and started to rant on about us being racistand promoting

hate. Trying to have a reasonable discussion with the women proved futile as

she became more hysterical and attempted to confiscate all our literature. Shewent off in a huff. A taxi-driver who witnessed the incident complimented usfor standing our ground, and took a few of our leaflets. Some time later a

policeman and policewomen turned up to question us about our literature and

behaviour. After a few minutes Adrian was able to assure them that everything

had been conducted in a non-racially aggravated manner, and they left soon

afterwards assured that no offence had been committed.

Isnt it amazing that if someone complains to the police that a racially

aggravated offence has occurred, then they react within twenty minutes. Trygetting the police to react to a burglary, then youre lucky if they turn up at all -

in most instances they will just give you a crime number so that you can make an

insurance claim.

Cliff sent an E-mail to theAdvertising Standards Authority (ASA) concerningthe recent adverts put out by theHalifax that always show a white woman with a

Negro man. Details of the E-mail can be seen on page 15 of thisNewsletter.

2 Future Activism

Chris Stone thought that the proposed location of the Whipton Social Club foran open debate of theDrakes Drum Forum was a good idea. Clearly, if the

Forum was restricted to BNP members it would fail, as there are insufficientactive members within the South West for such an event to succeed. For the

event to succeed invitations must sent to other political groups or organizations

that share our concerns. It was pointed out that many people in the UKIP andConservative parties share many of our views, so the topic for debate should besomething that will appeal to like-minded people. It was agreed that the

possibility of holding such an event at the Whipton Social Club should beinvestigated further.

Adrian said that while we still have a few weeks of summer weather left, weshould be using it productively by have more table-top sessions and meeting the

people. He will be arranging more of these events and would be grateful for

more people to participate.

3 Any Other Business

Cliff pointed out that the BNP conference was being held at Blackpool over the

weekend of 28th

and 29th

of September. Those who said that they would be interested

in attending the conference were:

Adrain Romilly

Cliff Jones

Trevor Edwards

The problem seemed to be that Adrians health prevented him driving any great

distance. Both Trevors and Cliffs cars are too small to take 3 people with theirluggage any great distance. The overall expense is a problem that concerns Cliff.

But if a large enough car can be borrowed, then Devon and Cornwall may berepresented at the conference.

4 Group Discussion: Fracking Is the BNP right to oppose it?

Cliff opened the discussion with a brief description of the fracking process, andcirculated the following diagram to assist in the understanding of the process.

He explained that gas (methane) is trapped in the shale rock. By drilling andinserting a pipeline into the shale rock it is then possible to inject high pressure water

into the rock that causes it to fracture, so releasing the shale gas. This freed gasdiffuses towards the pipeline, which can then be extracted for commercial use.

Cliff posed the first question: Does Britain need the energy that fracking issupposed to provide?

Answers from those in attendance could be summed up as being: With an ever increasing population Britainis going to need all the energy it can get, especially with the production of North Sea gas in terminal decline.

Cliff went on to say: Can Britain not obtain this additional energy requirement

from other sources?

It was pointed out by numerous people present that the UK is already heavily dependent on foreign nationsfor its energy supplies: gas from Russia, Electricity from France and oil from the Middle Eastern countries.

It was mentioned that although the UK still has huge resources of coal available, most of the easily minedcoal has been extracted, and what remains will be costly and dangerous to mine.

J oan B-T pointed out that wind turbines are a waste of time and will not meet Britains increasing energydemand.

Cliff then proceeded to ask: What are the dangers associated with fracking?

Those present stated:

The fracturing of the shale rock can cause earth tremors.

The various fluids used in the drilling and fracking process can leak into thesubterranean aquifers, so polluting the water supply.

The methane gas can also leak into the water supply, with the possibility that the gasin the tap-water can ignite.

This begged the question: Are the dangers associated with fracking

over-exaggerated?

It was pointed out that we still suffer from earth tremors due to coal mining, and these have never reallycaused any serious problems.

Trevor said that the shale rock is very much deeper than the coal mines (up to 3 miles deep), so any earthtremor will probably be of very low intensity compared to those associated with coal mining.

The picture showing the methane flame derived from tap-water could have been derived from other naturalsources methane is a bi-product of decomposing vegetation so it appears naturally in all rivers and wells.

The general consensus was that the dangers associated with fracking are probably over-exaggerated by thegreen lobby for political purposes.

The penultimate question was: Will the Green Partys anti-fracking campaign

succeeed?

It was generally agreed that the Green Partys campaign to prevent fracking will ultimately fail. The reasonsbeing that: the UK will be in need of more energy due to a growing (if unwanted) population; Britain needsgreater self sufficiency in energy, free from its current dependence on foreign suppliers; there is so muchmoney involved that the banks and big-business will ensure that it happens.

The final question was: The BNP is opposed to fracking; is this the right

approach, if not, what should its policy be?

It was generally agreed that the BNPs policy of opposing all fracking is wrong, and it should change itspolicy to be more in tune with Britains needs and the will of the people.

J oan B-T considered that the BNP should have no official position on fracking until its safety is assured.

Most people felt that the BNP must accept the inevitable and have a pro-fracking policy; however, its policymust be such to ensure that the fracking process benefits the British workers, industry and consumers - andnot the merchant bankers or foreign oil companies. It must, also, ensure that fracking operations are strictlyregulated to minimise any pollution or earth tremors that are inherent in these operations.

5 Conclusion of Meeting

After a lively and enjoyable discussion the meeting finished at 9:30pm. A collectionraised 45.00 for our funds. The date for the next meeting has not been confirmed,but is most likely to be on the last Wednesday in September; Cliff will advise later.

The picture shows running tap-water in North Carolina whichcontains large quantities of

methane gas that can be ignited

when a flame in placed near therunning tap-water.

Comments from a Satisfied Reader

Hi Cliff

Great newsletter as usual.

J ust a quick comment. I personally use Yahoo as my home page on the internet. From there, Yahoo (as you areprobably aware) present the latest news. At the bottom of every news item there is a very widely used commentssection, where everyone who is a Yahoo user can leave comments on the news item. There are quite a few of uson there who lean towards the BNP (though our user names do not show this) and there are a few on there whoactively display the BNP in their names.

As you know, at the moment, for some people it is not advisable to display your allegiance to a particular politicalparty and it is very hard to try to determine which of the users are like minded individuals.

Could we not, as followers and supporters of the BNP, add something to our user names (on whatever news site orcomments section we use) which would identify us to each other without being too blatant. Something along thelines of, say, a "Colon" after the user name.

It's hard at times to try to get a point across when the majority of other users are not sympathetic (and sometimesopenly hostile) to our views. At least if we recognised that we had a fellow soul on a particular subject we couldoffer moral support if nothing else.

Yes, I realise that a user name followed by a simple "BNP" would make us instantly recognisable, but sometimes itis necessary to engage in debate on a level playing field before showing your hand and sometimes, showing yourhand immediately brings on hostility or an unwillingness to converse.

So if anyone has any idea how we could incorporate something into our user names which would make us instantlyrecognisable to each other, then perhaps as a group we could start to influence discussions taking place on thenews channels and forums.

As an example, my Yahoo user name is Stephen H. Perhaps if it was displayed with say the first 3 letters as

capitals, example....".STEphen H"... looks harmless enough and an innocent mistake, but would be instantlyrecognisable by anyone who knew what it meant.

As you know, there are hundreds of news channels and forums out there, this simple act would allow each of us torecognise the affiliations of each other and offer verbal support and constructive input where needed. Perhapsconversing on these channels as a group will let us influence others and get our message across far easier.

J ust a thought Cliff, once again, great Newsletter and look forward to the next issue

Kindest RegardsStephen Hopper

Anyone got any ideas?

The following letter by Adrian Romilly was published in the Western Morning News.

Sir,

I think 'Diversity' should 'celebrated' with a little more caution than was apparent in last Monday's report (3/6/13) ofExeter's Respect Festival; looking around the world one finds that almost all of the places where there is strifethere is also diversity: there is a surfeit of diversity in countries such as Syria (Shia, Sunni, Alowite ), Burma(Budhists v Mohammedans), Ceylon (Tamil's v Sinhalese), Iraq (Kurds, Shias, Sunnis ), Egypt (Mohammedansof several stripes, Christians ), Ireland (republicans v Loyalists), Fiji (native Fijians v Indians).... .

In tranquil countries, countries at ease with themselves, the diversity co-efficient tends to be low. Of course, it ispossible that the association of 'diversity ' and 'strife', may not be causal but I wouldn't count on it!

Notwithstanding these, and many other examples that could readily be adduced, our political elite repeatedlyassert, without offering much supportive evidence, that 'Diversity is good for Britain' and, as one would expect, ourlocal politicians dutifully toe the party line dictated from Westminster. While I dare say that an agreeable time at the(publicly financed?) Respect Festival was had by many there is another side to it. Experience across the globedemonstrates that different ethnic groups/cultures under a common government have conflicting demands theresolution of which frequently leaves one or more of the groups angry and dissatisfied with dire consequences forsociety as a whole - as in the above instances.

As I see it, it is 'homogeneity' not 'diversity' that is the first prize for any country; we had it in England within thememory of most of your readers - it has been recklessly discarded by those in the metropolitan elite who, findingtheir fellow countrymen both too expensive to employ and too dull to be borne, sought to enrich themselves(through cheap, pliant labour) and brighten their lives by creating the more vibrant multiracial society that we nowhave. Those who brought about this demographic transformation will, like the writer, but unlike theirgrandchildren, not have to 'face the music' in thirty or forty years time.

Yours truly,

A L Romilly

Adrian received the following E-mail from a fellow BNP member:-

Dear Adrian,

My husband and I went to the Diversity festival a few years ago and hope to go again, to tackle some of thestall-holders on their assumptions.

While were on the subject, what exactly is a racist or, as used to be racialist? What is a fascist? What is theFar-Right? What is homophobic? Is it not necessary to tackle everyone who uses these well-used but sloppyphrases and demand of them exactly what they mean? I am reminded of when I taught and the deputy headaccused me to my husband of not fulfilling my obligations and he asked what are they in this context? and shewas unable to answer. If tackled, most who use such phrases mean anyone who disagrees with my liberalprejudices.

As to diversity, I went to school in Wales and learnt 5 foreign languages. I was there with girls who spoke athome one of maybe 7 languages, and who were of all Christian denominations, as well as J ewesses, J ehovahswitnesses and atheists. But that is not diverse enough. So diversity also has a particular meaning for ourliberals. Has anyone ever asked them what they mean? By using such phrases they hope not to be asked for theirown perverted meaning, because they can then brainwash those who dare not to share their own opinions. Whatthey in fact mean on diversity is Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, West Indians, Africans, Eastern Europeans etc (Howexactly is Mo Farrah British?) and crawling to anyone who does not belong here.

Maybe you would like to pass this around your list of contacts for comments.

Regards,

Anne Passman (often, for the sake of my family, known as Anne English, my maiden name)

Yes, the thought police are alive and well and living in an England near you.

Some Light Entertainment

Ive received various the following light-hearted articles that I would wish to share withyou:-

BLACKADDER TELLS BALDRICK;;;;;;;;;;;

Baldrick: "What I want to know, Sir, is that, before there was a Euro there were lots of different types of money thatdifferent people used. And now there's only one type of money that the foreign people use. What I want to knowis, how did we get from one state of affairs to the other state of affairs ?"

Blackadder: "Baldrick. Do you mean, how did the Euro start ?"

Baldrick: "Yes Sir"

Blackadder: "Well, you see, Baldrick, back in the 1980s there were many different countries all running their ownfinances and using different types of money. On one side you had the major economies of; France, Belgium,Holland and Germany and on the other ... the weaker nations of Spain, Greece, Ireland, Italy and Portugal. Theygot together and decided it would be much easier for everyone if they could all use the same money, have oneCentral Bank and belong to one large club where everyone would be happy. This meant there could never be asituation whereby financial meltdown would lead to social unrest, wars and crises."

Baldrick: "But this is a sort of a crisis, isn't it, Sir ?".

Blackadder: "That's right, Baldrick. You see, there was only one slight flaw with the plan."

Baldrick: "What was that then, Sir ?"

Blackadder: "It was bollocks."

I went down to the Jobcentre this morning to sign up myDog.The woman said, "Dogs are not eligible for benefits".I explained to her that my Dog is black, unemployed,idle, can't speak English and has no clue who his dad is.She looked in her policy book to see what it takes toqualify.He gets his first cheque on Friday.Damn this is a great country!!!

State Sponsored Attack on the Family

What follows are three selected items from the July 2013 edition of theEnglishChurchman, which I believe is very relevant to everything that we in the British National

Party stand for.

1. Busting the myths of Swedish family policies

Sweden has a reputation for being something of a utopia, with low rates of child poverty and infantmortality, long life expectancy, high levels of gender equality and a comprehensive day-caresystem that is the envy of the world. However at the Family Education Trust conference, JonasHimmelstrand presented evidence that tells a quite different story.

While no infants under the age of a year are in state-funded childcare due to parents' entitlement toparental leave during the first year of a child's life, 92% of all children aged between 18 months

and five years are cared for outside the family home.

Parents, grandparents and even childminders are discouraged from caring for children, but groupday-care is strongly encouraged both culturally and financially, with a 90% tax subsidy savingparents around 14,000 per child per year in childcare costs.

Children under the age of three are never in groups of less than 10, and it is not uncommon forthem to be placed with more than 14 children. Between the ages of three to five, day-care groupsizes can be upwards of 25-30 children. Child-staff ratios are not regulated, but the average ratioat all ages is a little above five children per carer, though it is not unknown for a member of staff tohave the care of as many as 10 children. The traditional focus on play is now changing in thedirection of more early learning.

Objectives and outcomes

The aims of universal day-care in the early years are: to create a classless society and achievehigher levels of greater gender equality to improve children's academic and social development, toliberate mothers from their maternal instincts, and to produce more life satisfaction for parentsthrough more time spent at work and less time spent at home.

However, the results are not positive. Over recent years, Sweden has seen a marked increase indiagnosed psychiatric illnesses among young people and in discipline problems in schools,alongside a decline in educational outcomes and the quality of parenting. Questions are beginning

to be asked about the quality of day-care too, with Swedish psychiatric and educational expertsexpressing concern that the quality has fallen to a level where some children will have theirdevelopment impaired or arrested. Sick leave rates among women are very high, with day-carestaff featuring among the top three professions in the sick leave statistics, and families are subjectto ideologically motivated interventions from social workers.

Contrary to the common perception, Sweden's family policies have not even achieved the goal ofcreating greater gender equality since Sweden has a highly gender-segregated labour market anda large gender pay gap, together with high levels of youth unemployment.

Why?

The following considerations constitute possible causal explanations for these outcomes:

A lack of emotional nourishment in the very early years can create chronically low thresholds forstress throughout life.


11/16


11

Early exposure to large groups of peers can make children peer-oriented and lead to bullying,promiscuity, gang membership, and a lack of interest in learning.

The culturally endorsed early separation of young children from parents causes stress inparents which in turn contributes to high levels of sick leave.

State intervention in family life reduces parents' sense of responsibility for their children.

Swedish children seldom suffer from material poverty, but many more suffer from emotionalpoverty, due to the early separation between children and parents encouraged by Swedish familypolicies. The indicators suggest that this early separation may have negative effects on early childdevelopment, on the quality of parenthood, and on adolescent health and education outcomes.

The state versus parents

A large number of studies have confirmed that the majority of Swedish mothers want to spendmore time with their children and a survey of six year-old children showed that their greatest wishis to have more time with their parents. Yet such desires do not feature in current Swedish debate

on the future of family policy. The agenda is rather dominated by discussions about extendingday-care to night-care, weekend-care and summer-care. The suggestion is being made thatunemployed parents should be forced to use day-care as a condition of receiving unemploymentbenefit, and it is even being proposed that day-care should be made a compulsory child's rightwhich parents are not allowed to interfere with.

Once Swedish family policies are put in place, it has proved very difficult to discuss them throughthe normal democratic processes.

Learning the lessons

Swedish family policies have led to negative developmental outcomes for children, parents, andfamilies because childcare has become a state decision based on political ideology, rather than aparental decision based on the needs of the individual child. Every society should allow parents thefreedom to make their own choices about the care and education of their children. The state shouldadopt a neutral position on different types of care, including home care, and not incentivise oneover another, whether culturally or financially. However, since the family is the key institution forbuilding close relationships, it merits the respect of the government.

Raising children should be viewed as a social good, and true gender equality includes respectingand valuing the choices of mothers who elect to stay at home to care for their family. Swedishfamily policies are not emotionally sustainable and possibly not even democratically sustainable.

They need to be researched and understood in depth before any attempt is made to emulate them.

Jonas Himmelstrand is the author of "Following your heart in the social utopia of Sweden". He hasspoken widely about Swedish family policies in the United Nations and in national parliaments,including Westminster. He and his wife were forced to leave their native Sweden in 2012 for homeeducating their children. They now live in Finland. The slides from this presentation are availableonline at: www.mireja.org/130518.html

2. WhenFamily-Friendly means keeping parents and children

apart

The Education Secretary, Michael Gove, has proposed the introduction of longer school days andshorter school holidays. According to Mr Gove, these measures will improve performance andmake life easier for working parents. Speaking at the Spectator education conference on 18thApril, the Education


12/16


12

Secretary said:

It may be the case that there are one or two legislative and bureaucratic obstacles which preventall schools moving in this direction, but I think its consistent with the pressures of a modernsociety. I also think its going to be family-friendly.

Many parents will want to question how it can possibly be family-friendly to increase the amount of

time children are kept apart from their parents and to limit the amount of time families spendtogether.

Parents disempowered

A primary school head-teacher put it well in a letter to the Independent newspaper published on26th April:

'Mr Gove underestimates the family and its role in educating a child. For too long policy hasplaced the onus on schools to provide the child with every attribute necessary to access adult life.This has in turn disempowered parents. There has been a noticeable increase in the number of

children coming to school without being toilet trained, with poor speech and language skills andincapable of any independent tasks; the expectation is that schools will take responsibility for theseissues. This is not the answer.

Providing longer school hours and shorter holidays will reduce the amount of time spent with familyand further diminish the role of parents within society. Children need time to play, explore andlearn about human relationships beyond school. Populating the global society with creative,intelligent, highly motivated and flexible individuals is surely Mr Goves ambition; but such peopledo not evolve from a childhood spent entirely in the classroom.

3. All children in Scotland to be given a NAMED PERSON to

support their wellbeing

The recently-published Children and Young People (Scotland) Bill proposes that every child andyoung person in Scotland should be given a named person from birth until they reach the age of18. The purpose of this named person is to 'safeguard and support their wellbeing, working withother bodies as required.

For the avoidance of any doubt, the Bill explicitly rules out the possibility that the named personcould be one of the child's own parents. It has to be someone appointed by the state and, thepolicy memorandum states, 'will usually be a practitioner from a health board or an educationauthority. Family Education Trust director Norman Wells, told the Scottish press:

'One wonders what the Scottish Government thinks parents are for! Not only is this proposal agross insult to the vast majority of parents in Scotland, but it is also a serious misuse of taxpayers'money that would be far better targeted where it is most needed and not spread thinly across theentire population. On top of that, it is bound to backfire.

The more the state undermines parents by assuming a parental role, the less responsibility parentswill be inclined to take for their children. That, in turn, will lead to more child neglect, more stateintervention in childrens lives and a still greater burden on the public purse.

Vladimir Putin's Speech

The following speech was sent to me in an E-mail by Brian Jenkins. Its clear that the

Russians can see the disaster that is happening in Europe, and are determined to ensurethat it doesnt happen to them.

Putin's speech on 4th

February, 2013 addressed to the Russian Parliament ....

The West should take notice ....

On 4th February, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (RussianParliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia:

"In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat inRussia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, thenwe advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need minorities.Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fittheir desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We had better learn from the suicides ofAmerica, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs andtraditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When thishonourable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first,observing that the minorities are not Russians.

The poli ticians in the Duma gave Putin a standing ovation for f ive minutes.

Letter from UKIP

The following letter was received from UKIP begging for money. Now, you would havethought that with all the money and free use of facilities that the millionaire owner of

Trago Mills have lavished on them over the past decade they would not need the common

people to donate yet more of their hard-earned money.

They, also, asked me if I would help in the May 2014 election by:

The HALIFAX Why is it promoting genocide of

indigenous Britons?

Below is an advertisement currently being displayed at all branches of theHalifax to

promote their financial services.

TheHalifax have succeeded in sinking to even lower depths of depravity in their most

recent TV commercial which shows a Negro football coach with his white pregnantpartner at a childrens football match.

This goes even further than the firstadvertisement and its message clearly

indicates that it is perfectly acceptable tobreed with Negros, even though any

offspring produced will be of lowintelligence that will inevitably genetically

weaken Britain as a nation.

Now, one advertisement promoting miscegenation would have been considered an

aberration, but two in close succession can only be a wilful act of racial hatred in thepromoting the genocide of indigenous white British population. Why should the Halifaxproduce such controversial advertisements and what is their agenda, when they know it

would be considered most offensive to the vast majority of indigenous Britons?

I wonder what reaction I would get if I made a complaint to theAdvertising StandardsAuthority (ASA)? My guess is that they will refuse to act, for fear of offending theimmigrant community.

I have now made an official complaint just to see what response I get from the ASA. Ill

let you know what response I get.

As can be seen it shows a Negro with anindigenous white woman, and is clearly

designed to brainwash our young girls intobelieving that it is perfectly acceptable forthem to have relationships with black men,even though statically these relationships

inevitably end disastrously.

Grade Inflation: A Level Results 1982 and 2013

As you are all probably aware, this years A level results have recently been published.

They show that approximately 26% achieved grades A and A*, with 8% getting an A*.

Furthermore, only 2% failed the exam.

TheDaily Mail, also, published the A level results for 1982 which revealed that 8%

achieved a grade A, with 32% completely failing the exam.

The diagram below shows the comparison between the A level results for 1982 and forthose of 2013.

This diagram clearly indicates that over the past 30 years there has been massive gradeinflation associated with A level results, with only the grades C to A* being accepted by

respectable universities as acceptable passes. Furthermore, with a failure rate of only 2%its almost impossible to fail how bad must one be to fail such an exam? This is

probably a symptom of the modern education system where nobody can be seen to fail,

and everyone must have a prize.
