Sayeeda Warsi: We are not going to tolerate fascism on British soil
Sayeeda Warsi: My grandfathers fought against fascism
We support the comments made yesterday by Sayeeda Warsi, the Conservatives Shadow minister for Community Cohesion and Social Action, at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester.
In her speech to party members, Baroness Warsi, whose grandfathers fought with the British army against the Germans and Japanese during World War Two, said: ”during the Second World War, British and Commonwealth soldiers, including my two grandfathers, fought side by side to defeat fascism in Europe.” She went on to say that 65 years later “we are NOT going to tolerate fascism on our soil.”
Baroness Waris added, “ There is nothing Muslim about Anjem Chowdhury and Al-Muhajiroun. There is nothing English about the English Defence League. And there is certainly nothing British about the BNP.”
Sayeeda makes two good points. First, she points out the obvious irony about the BNP’s claim to be patriotic. Many of the BNP leadership are open sympathisers of the very people we fought during the Second World War. People like her grandfathers fought to help preserve Britain as a haven of tolerance and fair-play, something that BNP are seeking to destory.
And second, she argues that we should not define whole communities by the actions of a minority. We must not allow the actions of Islamists to define Islam and we must not allow the BNP to define themselves as the representatives of the British people.
Also see Sunny Hundal’s blog at Pickled Politics on Sayeeda’s speech at conference.
Row brewing in Antwerp over Nick Griffin’s speech at University
The picturesque Antwerp university campus
We believe an attempt to deny Nick Griffin, the leader of the BNP, a platform is wrong approach to dealing with the party. Griffin has been invited to speak at the University of Antwerp, but university’s authorities have banned the British MEP from its campus.
According to Nick Griffin’s official web site a local judge will have to decide whether he is allowed to speak at the university’s campus.
Writing on his leader’s web site, Martin Wingfield, head of communications, wrote: “Whatever the decision, Nick will be addressing his audience as the meeting will definitely take place and if access to the original hall is denied, there will be a short demonstration for freedom of speech outside of the university before moving on to another venue.”
So long as the BNP leader doesn’t break any of Belgium’s tough incitement laws he should be allowed to excercise his right to freedom of speech. Better still, instead of protesting another speaker should be put forward to debate Nick Griffin.
And finally … Lee Barnes acknowledges the work of Nothing British
Lee Barnes: Nothing British reveals the truth about the BNP
Although he is a little weak on the facts, Lee Barnes, the legal director of the BNP, has written a gushing testimonial of Nothing British.
Ever the flatterer, Lee generously points out how this web site “reveals the truth about the BNP”. We appreciate your support and are glad that we can be of some assistance to you.

Oh , missed this :
“Indeed, she says, people who back the extreme-right party, criticised for its racist and homophobic agenda, may even have a point. “They have some very legitimate views. People who say ‘we are concerned about crime and justice in our communities – we are concerned about immigration in our communities’,” she said.
It seems Warsi has changed her views since giving this interview two years ago:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/immigration-immigration-immigration-cameron-hoped-to-ignore-it-but-now-its-back-with-a-vengeance-403997.html
Nothing wrong with changing one’s views , is there ? Which begs the questions : why is Griffin still taken to task over views he shed many years ago ?

“so do you think all Irishmen supported the Provos during the troubles?”
Certainly not.
But the fundamentalists live in moslem areas as a general rule but not every moslem in the area knows what they are planning.
I think a lot turn a blind eye as they will back any moslem rather than talk to the police.
There have been a few exceptions, so I am not making an absolute statement of fact.

Baroness Warsi is a member of a party that colonised her homeland. If Britain hadn’t granted its non-British subject peoples independence I doubt she would be. It’s only the fact that the Tories have turned the table and now support the colonisation of Britain by Africans and Asians that makes their old/new racism acceptable to her.
We’re entitled to ask, surely, why it is considered right and proper that Asian and African peoples could boot the British out but the British can’t boot them out… why is that, Warsi? Cuz we white?

Hi James you posh twat,
Hows the top lip appeal going ?
I note on your blog comments that it lists 64 comments on this article – but when you count them there are 14 comments.
Is this the same ‘creative accounting’ that the tory party uses to launder its zionist backers money into the party ?
Is this why you say you have a 9 inch cock when in fact its actually 9 millimeteres James ?
We want to know Bethell – so cough it up.
