Panorama set for “racism in Britain today” expose on Monday night.

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

b00nfr2h_512_288Monday 20:30, BBC 1. According to the website:-

Panorama investigates the truth about racism and anti-social behaviour in Britain today.

In a shocking insight into race hate and anti-social behaviour in our neighbourhoods, Tamanna Rahman was pelted with glass and stones and threatened with a brick during an attempted mugging by an 11-year-old boy. Her “husband,” Amil Khan, was punched in the head.

Yet the head of the government’s equality watchdog has said that having a neighbour of a different ethnic background isn’t an issue any more.

10 questions for Nick Griffin MEP

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Nothing British has 10 questions we hope the panelists on next week’s Question Time will ask the BNP leader. You can find more details on each question in this attachment:-

10 questions to ask Nick Griffin (pdf)

  1.       You claim to be patriotic yet you consort with racist and neo-Nazi organisations in Europe and the United States.  When will you condemn the rhetoric that is hostile to British values?

 2.       You claim to champion the interests of British workers but won’t your protectionist trade policies, restrictions on the flow of capital and opposition to globalisation cause trade wars that will destroy jobs?

 3.       You are a political party that aspires to govern the people of Great Britain, so when will the BNP allow a non-white person to join as a member?

 4.       Won’t your policy of seizing land and natural assets for communal ownership, and the redistribution of the ownership of British businesses replace the free market with socialism and bring our economy to its knees?

 5.       When will you promise that your “Bill of Rights” will guarantee all British subjects equal protection under the law, and not just “indigenous” (ie white) people?

 6.       You want a blanket ban on non-white immigration that would seriously harm Britain’s economic interests. What is wrong with a balanced non-racialist migration system that maximises national wealth?

 7.      How would you defend Britain from terrorists that want to destroy our country or protect innocents overseas who are the victims of genocide when you advocate neutrality in international affairs?

 8.       You claim that the BNP has become a modern, legitimate mainstream party but will you send a clear signal to racists by expelling members and condemning supporters who articulate anti-Semitic, racist, violent, Holocaust-denying views?

 9.       You advocate a massive increase in housing provisions so can you tell us exactly how much will this cost the taxpayer?

 10.   You claim that you want a cleaner and greener society, yet your transport policy is to cut fuel tax and allow motorists to drive faster on Britain’s roads, thereby burning more carbon emissions and making our roads more dangerous?

Row brewing over Premier League golly wogs

A Golly Wog being sold on Phillip's web-site

A row is brewing between a Powys-based seller of racist novelty goods and the Premier League over the use of club insignia and colours for racist memorabilia.

Patriot Products, run by BNP supporter Roger Phillips, sells a range of “official” merchandise alongside BNP badges, “Enoch Powell was right” paraphernalia and golly-wogs wearing the colours of clubs like Manchester United, Portsmouth and Wolves.

Patriot Products was launched at this years BNP Red, White and Blue rally.

The site is managed by the Green Arrow, an anti-Semitic, anti-Moslem blog run by Paul Morris, a BNP activist and conspiracy theorist.

The Premier League, Liverpool FC, Chelsea FC, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur FC have Nothing British’s dossier and are considering their options.

The legal costs of a battle with this irritating little site may seem disproportionately large. However, the football industry has invested so much to rid itself of assocations with racism that any complacency could be very costly in the long term.

Objective BNP scientific study into the effects of immigration

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawking, take note! A great scientific mind has emerged from the depths of the BNP. Roger Phillips from Patriot Products Ltd has released footage of his extraordinary scientific analysis of migration to Britain.

Briton is attacked by German group with strong ties to the BNP

Monday, August 24th, 2009

National Democratic Party supporters marching in Dresden

A 46 year-old unidentified British man was attacked by a group of neo-Nazis, with ties to the BNP, while shopping with his wife and 4 year-old child in a bakery in Hamburg, Germany. 

Members of the National Democratic Party (NDP) are believed to have approached the Briton, who is black, with leaflets calling for a ban on immigration and said to him, “‘Here, take one of these with you back to where you belong”.

A member of the violent group ”pushed” him against a glass window as second man “punched” him and a third ”sprayed pepper spray in his eyes”. An eye witness said, “The wife was screaming for them to leave her husband alone but they just heaped more racial abuse on her as her little boy screamed ‘leave my daddy alone!’  It was vicious and unprovoked.”

In Deceember 2008, The Daily Telegraph reported that in the first ten months of 2008 Germany saw 30% increase of incidents perpetrated by far-Right offenders, including violent attacks.

In August 2002, the BNP leader, Nick Griffin, attended the NDP Pressefest Rally. He was photographed for the NDP’s newspaper Deutsche Stimme with NDP leader Udo Voigt and former KKK leader David Duke.

Also, in March 2005 Griffin was invited to take part in the NDP rally “National Awakening in the 21st Century”. However, he did not attend due to duties and other commitments.

Nothing British believes that these disturbing incidents represent a trend across Britain and Europe of ultra-racist groups becoming revitalised by the electoral success of neo-Nazis - who are capitalizing on the economic crisis, uncontrolled immigration and religious fanaticism. We also believe that the BNP’s refusal to distance itself from groups such as the NDP is further proof that the party’s change is merely cosmetic and not a genuine ideological shift to the mainstream.

News round-up: 12yo girl burns golly at BNP rally | BNP launches facebook app | Italy urges the EU to address illegal immigration

Young girl burns golly at BNP rally12 Year old girl burns golly at BNP rally

An undercover reporter for the News of the World attended the BNP’s Red White and Blue festival and recorded disturbing images of a young girl burning a golly after a mock trial where the golly, named Winston, is charged ‘with being black.’ The article also reports other racist and pro-Nazi behaviour at the event.

This follows last weeks news that a 14 year old boy, claiming to be a BNP supporter, pushed a young schoolgirl to the brink of suicide with racist taunts.

BNP launches Facebook applicationBNP Facebook application

The BNP is continuing its substantial online campaign with the launch of an ambitious Facebook application. Supporters can download the application to their Facebook page where it prompts people who view their profile to join the BNP mailing list and donate online.

The BNP are continuing to take the online initiative, spreading its message using popular social networking sites. The party has even developed its own social network site. Nothing British believes that the fight against the party could be won or lost via the internet, and encourages other political parties and movements to invest time and energy into expanding their online campaigns.

Italy urges the EU to address illegal immigration

Reuters reports: Italy called on Sunday for a common European Union solution to the problem of illegal immigration, days after the latest reported drownings of migrants in the Mediterranean.

“We must consider this a European problem. The EU has made many statements… but has not yet said just what should happen when a group of migrants reaches the borders of Europe,” Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini told a news conference.

And finally….. BNP rally hotel licence revoked

A Blackpool hotel which plays host to the annual BNP conference has had its entertainment and alcohol licence revoked for posing a risk to public safety. The New Kimberley hotel has hosted three annual BNP conferences since 2006.

The Blackpool Gazette reports: Gareth Shaw, spokesman for Blackpool Council’s Health and Safety Enforcement Section, said: “We have had many unpleasant dealings with the people responsible for the New Kimberley.”

After hearing the news last week that the BNP are having to look for a new destination for their Red White and Blue rally, Nothing British is hoping that the trend will continue and the party will run out of places to convene!

News round-up: Racism re-energised | BNP at popular show | BNP in spat with Mail

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Racism re-energised:

An ultra-nationalist group, the English Defence League, which has links to the BNP, plans to hold a “memorial” protest outside a mosque in Harrow on 9/11.

This is potentially evidence of non-BNP racist groups becoming more energised by the success of the BNP in June.

BNP at popular show:

Attendees of the popular agriculture event the Vale of Glamorgan show were angered by a BNP recruitment stall at the show. Nothing British believes that unless more is done to combat the BNP this is something that people will have to get used to as the BNP become a larger presence in British politics.

BNP in spat with Mail:

The Daily Mail have reported that a teenage BNP supporter who was found guilty of racially aggravated harassment last month after he drove a girl to the brink of suicide has escaped going to jail.

The story has created a spat between the Daily Mail and the BNP. Lee Barnes, the BNP’s legal director, and Nick Griffin have publically has refuted the Mail’s story, denying the child is a member of the BNP and calls the article a Daily Mail “smear” against the BNP. However, the Daily Mail states that police sources state that the boy, “supported the racist party and said he had tried to enlist other pupils to the cause.”

More importantly, this incident shows how the BNP’s recent successes help it enter the fabric of British life, even in schools.

UPDATE: Church of England rejects BNP understanding of the Bible

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

CofE_logo_belongingThe Church of England have been speaking to Nothing British about the BNP’s The Christian Council of Britain.

A spokesman for the C of E  who said: ” The Church of England does not share what appears in this case to be a very particular interpretation of the scriptures.”

“As the Archbishops of Canterbury and York said on 24 May, ‘Christians have been deeply disturbed by the conscious adoption by the BNP of the language of our faith when the effect of those policies is not to promote those values but  to foster fear and division within communities, especially between people of different faiths or racial background.’”

BNP “Christian Council” uses God to justify racism

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

The “Christian Council of Britain” is a pseudo-religious organisation run by the racist “Reverand” Robert West the BNP’s vicar.

The BNP quote from the bible to justify their politics:

“It is the will of God that the one race of mankind be divided into nations or descent groups with each having its own homeland where its interests, identity and values can be protected, upheld and promoted (Genesis 10: 5, 32; Acts 17: 26-27) .  This right is claimed by all nations of the world who have used this right to promote their own independence in their own countries.  In the British people now claiming this right for themselves they would appear not to be out of step with both the Word of God (the Holy Bible) and all the other ethnic groups that, by the Will of God, make up the world.” 

Rev. West then goes on to claim that calling the BNP racist

“… is misconceived in that the British National Party has no racist foundation, or ambition to displace or replace any nation, or ethnic group, from their own historic and national homeland; indeed the British National Party is striving for the integrity of the British people in their own homeland.”

UPDATE: BNP webmasters and South African racists

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Speculation over what happened to the BNP’s website continues.

Anti-fascist sources claim that Simon Bennett, the BNP’s webmaster, was sacked before the Red, White and Blue festival (Nothing British were unable to corroborate this). The BNP website is said to be now in the hands of another South African, Lambertus Nieuwhof.  Nieuwhof is accussed of attempting to bomb a mix race school in South Africa. (Nothing British were unable to corroborate this).

If true, Nothing British believes this is evidence of how changes to the BNP are largely comestic and that beneath the modern veneer exists an ultra-racist core.
