After a lifetime of service to Britain, it’s our duty to

TAKE CARE OF
OUR OLD FOLK
E LDERLY BRITONS who have worked hard all their lives, and
in some cases fought for our country, have been abandoned
by both the Labour Party and the Tories.
Many are being forced to sell their homes and spend all they have earned and saved for
their families, to pay greedy private care homes cashing in on the old and the sick.
The ‘Labour’ Government has reneged on its manifesto
commitments and betrayed our old folk, leaving
them to be ruined and ripped-off at the hands
of Margaret Thatcher’s ‘free market’.
The breakdown in community and family life,
brought about by the self-first culture of the
capitalist system introduced by the Tories
and adopted by Labour, has meant that
more and more old people are being
left, frail and alone, to go into care.
And because Labour has carried on
Thatcher’s privatisation policies, the
majority of that care is no longer pro-
vided by the State and local coun-
cils but by ruthless profiteers out to
squeeze the old and sick for every
penny they can get.
British people who have contributed
to our nation for a lifetime deserve the
best care and shelter that the nation
can provide in their twilight years.
Only the British National Party
says that there’s no place for profit
when providing such an essential CARE
service for our people. Left at the

power of your vote

I N JUST two years immigration
has added one million new voters
to the electoral register which has
devalued the voting power of the
British people.
What is worse is that many of these
new arrivals into Britain have been
allowed to register to vote without
any checks as to the legality of them
actually being in the country.
An analysis of the new electoral reg-
ister shows the million strong jump
in voters which has taken the total
number to a record 46 million.
Applicants do not have to provide
documents proving their identity
or even that they are in this country
legally. They simply fill in a two-page
Party, it hopes that immigrants who
have just arrived into the country will
replace them as Labour voters.
Every new African, Asian and East-
ern European voter diminishes the
influence of the British people at
election time and with British pass-
ports being handed out at the rate
of 100,000 every year, that’s 11 every
hour, time is running out for the Brit-
ish people to be able to decide their
own future.
Thankfully the British people
have a chance on June 4th to
show their disquiet at Labour’s
electoral registration scam by
voting in their millions for the
British National Party.
I T’S the fourth time in the last 200
years that British troops have
been deployed in Afghanistan and
just like the other three Anglo-
Afghan wars, thousands of British
servicemen and women will die
and nothing will be achieved.
In this latest conflict, which started in
2001, 152 British troops have already
lost their lives but that didn’t stop
Gordon Brown sending another 900
soldiers to Afghanistan last month.
Speaking at the end of the Nato
summit in Strasbourg, he said
it was necessary for Britain to
increase its 8,300-strong troop
contingent in an effort to win the
war on terror. Another 2,000 Brit-
ish troops on top of this are even-
tually set to be deployed there to
support a US-led military surge
aimed at defeating the Taliban.
British troops shouldn’t be risking
their lives propping up the corrupt
government in Afghanistan. They
should be back in Britain, guarding
our ports and airports to ensure that
terrorists can’t get into Britain.
Our war on terror should be about
keeping the British people safe
and to do this our troops should
be here, in Britain, not thousands
of miles away involved in a civil
war in Afghanistan. FRONTLINE: Terrorism in London.

results of 2009 when it came from

winning a 23.3% vote share and
beating both the Tories and the

to support a full canvass of the

Tesco’s huge profit comes from
fleecing shoppers & suppliers
T
HE economy is in free-fall, 120
small businesses are going bust
every week and the dole queues
are lengthening daily, but giant
supermarket corporation Tesco,
has been able to post record
profits of £3.13 billion for 2008.
It’s the highest profit for any
retailer in British history and,
despite the credit crunch, up 10%
on the year before, taking Tesco’s
turnover above a billion pounds
worth of goods a week.
Tesco has achieved this success by
using its vast monopoly buying
power to squeeze prices from suppli-
ers. Farmers have been driven close
to ruin by Tesco exploitation and
in some cases even suicide as they
see generations of work on the land
ending in bankruptcy and seizure of
their farm by the banks.
But these lower prices have not been
passed on to shoppers - they have
simply gone to boost Tesco profits.
Tesco has also devastated High
Streets across Britain, replacing
communities of small family busi-
nesses with soulless out-of-town
megastores.
Labour and Tory alike applaud this
abuse of monopoly power and exac-
tion of monopoly rent profit as “the

betrayed our farmers
British National Party
by Clive Wakely
L ABOUR, the Tories and the
Liberal Democrats have for
the last five years been working
against British farmers by their
support for the European Union’s
ruinous Common Agricultural
Policy (CAP).
CAP is only beneficial to farmers in
eastern and southern Europe, and
detrimental to the British producer
and taxpayer.
Britain, unlike most other EU member
states, pays far more into European
Union coffers than it gets back so
it’s wrong that the British taxpayer
be required to subsidise European
farmers.
What makes this worse is that our
own farmers often have to compete
against imported produce which
has been subsidised by the British
taxpayer through the mechanism of
the CAP. This is a disgrace.
All Britain’s MEPs have been well
briefed as to how unfair the Common
Agricultural Policy is to British
producers and taxpayers, yet they
have done nothing to restore a level
playing field for our farmers.

because the banks won’t give
them the credit they need to
keep going.
Most just need overdraft facilities so
they can pay bills whilst waiting to
be paid by their customers.
Labour claims it’s helping small
businesses and is being tough on
the big banks but, in fact, it’s doing
the opposite. It has just closed
down the Small Firms Loan Guar-
antee Scheme and replaced it with
a new Enterprise Finance Guarantee
Scheme which benefits the banks.
Small businesses are also being hit
with extra bank charges, lower over-
draft limits and higher interest rates.
Banks are now demanding that firms
deposit the same sum again as they
want to borrow, which makes asking
for the loan rather pointless!
Even businesses known to their bank
and thriving for years as safe credit
prospects are being hit by these
practices and forced to close.
When small businesses close down
they rarely reappear which means
less choice for customers. Big com-
panies just downscale and close
branches, but a small business just
closes down and the livelihood of its
owner and staff goes as well.

Worried
about

his seat
W HEN the  North West’s only
Muslim  MEP Sajjad Karim,
arranged a meeting about the
rise of extremism in Europe, it was
thought that he would be focusing
on the threat posed by Islam.
But the now Conservative MEP,
who was elected as a Liberal Dem-
ocrat but jumped ship when he
thought he might lose his seat,
was only warning about how in the
North West of England, the British
National Party is becoming increas-
ingly motivated and mobilised and
could win a seat.
“The BNP needs only to add 2% to
its 6.4% of votes gained in the 2004
elections to rear its ugly head and
have Nick Griffin sitting in the Euro-
pean Parliament,” he said.
Karim is the first Muslim to be
elected into the European Parlia-
ment for a British political party and
many believe his special interest in
preventing the BNP making prog-
ress in his North West constituency
is more about holding on to his
lucrative job in Brussels.
Last year he claimed £18,356 on UK

T HE Miners’ Strike was Britain’s

by the announcement that the

in the Dearne Valley, was to close.
On 5th March 1984, the men at the
Cortonwood pit walked out and
other Yorkshire miners joined them
not realising that it would be a year
before they returned.
As mining communities were often
located in remote areas, their isola-
tion created an increased importance
in the local community. Women in the
mining communities were the home-
makers with their lives based around
family, home, and children while the
men worked in the pit and brought

POINTS OF VIEW

Christmas was the hardest time of the
strike. At Kiveton Colliery in Rother-
ham the local WAPC provided 558
food parcels. Each miner had a 4lb
chicken and everything needed to
make breakfast, dinner and tea on
Christmas Day.
They were helped by the local butch-
ers, bakers, grocers, and farmers who
rallied around to support the com-
munity.
In Brampton, the village where the
Cortonwood pit was based, Jackie
Keating was involved in WAPC.
Her father and husband were both
miners and in her book on the
strike Counting the Cost, she recalls
Christmas 1984:
“We saved up bits and pieces over the
weeks to make sure the kids weren’t
affected by the hard Christmas - and
the NUM also gave presents for the
miners’ children.
“Our children were very young and
just remember that Dad was home
a lot and they didn’t notice the hard
Christmas that year.”
Despite the hard work women
and men had put into the strike,
as financial hardships increasingly
took hold miners began to break
the strike and return to work.
The strike formally ended on 3 March
1985, almost a year after it had
begun, with miners returning to work
with their heads held high behind
their colliery banners alongside the
women who had provided them with
so much support.

The fate of the Christian Minority
I T disappoints me to see our Church involving itself in the
political process in an attempt to prevent the British National
Party achieving success in the forthcoming elections to the
European Parliament.
I am reminded of our vicar telling a group of us recently that Christians,
in the not too distant future, will become a minority in this land. It was
said in such a matter of fact voice one might have thought that he was
just announcing the date of the forthcoming church fete.  
Does the Church not know what happens to Christians when
they become a minority?
The worrying record from history is that they tend to get persecuted.
Perhaps we need to be reminded of the Armenian genocide in 1915,
when the Otterman Government embarked upon the systemic deci-
mation of the Armenian people.
The Otterman Empire was  ruled by Turks who  were a martial
people practising Islam and they forced the Armenian Christian
minority to pay discriminatory taxes and denied them partici-
pation in Government.
In April 1915 tens of thousands of Armenians were deported from
their homes to the Syrian desert. Mass killings accompanied the
deportations and the survivors who reached northern Syria were sent
further South to die under the scorching sun.
It is estimated that a million and a half Armenians perished in total,
and an ancient people, who had inhabited the Armenian highlands
for three thousand years, lost their historical homeland.
On April 24th every year the remaining Armenian communities
remember this genocide, and on that day I too, went to my church
and sat there in thought and quietly remembered all those Armenian
Christians who perished.
It’s a slaughter our church leaders have obviously forgotten
about, otherwise they wouldn’t be forever promoting Islam as a
religion of peace and attacking the British National Party.

murdered in Istanbul by the Turkish Muslims of the Otterman Government.

I’m sure if Lewis Hamilton had just won two races on the trot, the
headlines would have been very different. I can just  picture the
coverage, no praise would have been too lavish.
The media’s report of Lewis Hamilton’s disqualification in the Austra-
lian Grand Prix was also true to form. Lewis Hamilton is euphemisti-
cally described as just ‘misleading the officials’ when in actual fact he
lied. When the lie was uncovered by the officials through listening
to radio conversations he had with the McLaren team, he used the
excuse that he was just following orders.
That’s the kind of defence a child uses. I remember using it when I
was young and being told that if someone told me to jump off a cliff
would I do it?
The fact is that Lewis Hamilton has been used as a role model because
he is Black, even mentioned in my Church during a sermon. It’s the
first time that I can remember a sportsperson receiving such acco-
lades from the pulpit; but now his halo has been tarnished.
The media must be devastated that another of its role models has
fallen from his pedes-
tal, and that it is being
forced to sing the
praises of yet another
white racing driver.
ACHIEVEMENT:
There was muted
media coverage of
Jenson Button’s two
Grand Prix victories.

BNP councillors get things done

A FTER spending the morning
leafleting in Marsden ward,
the dedicated team of activists
working for Pendle BNP stayed
on to clear litter from a grass
verge next to a main road.
Local residents had told the ward’s
BNP councillor Brian Parker, that
the verge was becoming a blight
on the neighbourhood, so Brian
and his team went into action.
It was very rewarding for the hard-
working clean-up team when
people stopped to congratulate
them on their efforts.
“The BNP is the only party that
gets things done,” was the verdict
of one passer-by.

Working hard for the

community in Debden
E PPING Forest British National
Party councillor Pat Richardson,
is well known nationally because
she breaks the media’s stereotype
of a BNP member.
Pat is Jewish, and that fact silences
our opponents at a stroke when they
come out with all their usual smears
on the Party.
And Pat is just as well known
locally, where she works tirelessly
as the councillor for Loughton
Broadway along with another BNP
councillor, Sue Clapp.
Debden Day is the annual celebra-
tion day of Debden and the Lough-
ton Broadway community. It’s a great
family occasion with fancy dress
competitions, music, stalls, a fair and
many other treats for visitors.
The event is organised by the Lough-
ton Broadway Town Centre Partner-
ship, a non profit making charity,
and it is on this committee that the
two BNP councillors have worked
tirelessly throughout the year to
make Debden Day a big success.
Back in 2000 the county council said
that they wouldn’t charge to close
the road. Last year it charged the
partnership £250, a cost that was
met by the traders. Then this year the

council wanted to hike the charge
by 400% to £995 which would have
effectively sounded the death knell
for Debden Day.
But the committee refused to be
beaten and after much lobbying
the council backed down and even
apologised to the organisers for the
DEBDEN DAY: It’s a great occasion for all the family. (Insert: BNP councillor Sue Clapp.) distress their actions had caused.

Plaid councillor joins the BNP

A Plaid Cymru county council
candidate and councillor for
Llandybie, Meirion Bowen, has
joined the British National Party.
Mr Bowen is now the second BNP
councillor on Llandybie Council, join-
ing Kevin Edwards who represents
Penygroes.
The loss of a councillor is an embar-
rassment to Plaid coming after MP
for Carmarthen East & Dinefwr, Adam
Price, alarmed at collapsing support
for Plaid in his constituency, claimed
that voters in Carmarthenshire would
not be swayed by the BNP.
But the new British National Party
councillor said that Price is out of
touch with reality and that Plaid
turned its back on the people of Wales
when it dropped the Cymru.
Talks between BNP officials and dis-
illusioned Plaid members and coun-
cillors in areas of South Wales from
Ammanford to Abergavenny have
highlighted the disillusionment
felt by many Welsh people living
in South East Wales, now they have

I T IS with great regret that I
have to announce the death of
Bradford BNP stalwart Clifford
Cockayne, following a brave fight
against heart and lung disease.
Clifford, aged 76, was a regular at
West Yorkshire meetings in recent
years and stood as a local election
candidate for Bradford City Council
on a number of occasions.
In 2006 he fought the Thornton and
Allerton ward coming second just
189 votes short of taking the seat
from the Tories with 1354 votes.
In 2007  he was second again, this
time with 1011 votes.
In 2008 he stood for election in the
Wibsey ward and came third behind
the Tories and Labour with 595 votes,
but he beat the Lib-Dem candidate
and polled more votes than the

the English Democrats.
Clifford and his partner
Jenny Sampson, another
brave BNP candidate
in numerous Bradford
elections, formed a for-
midable team to take
on our opponents and
this was seen to great
effect when Clifford was
libelled by the anti-BNP
newspaper the Bradford
Telegraph and Argus.
The paper was forced to
publicly apologise and
pay compensation of
£500 to a charity of the
BNP’s choice after falsely
smearing Clifford in an
article about a local elec-
tion count in the city.
It claimed he had a
verbal altercation with
the Labour candidate even though
Clifford was not even at the count.
The entire story had been made up
just to smear the BNP.
Clifford and Jenny fought back
and issued a legal letter of demand
against the newspaper.
A few weeks later the Telegraph
and Argus admitted guilt, pub-
lished a full retraction and paid
the agreed £500 compensation
to the MacMillan Nurses Charity,
which had been nominated by
Clifford as the beneficiary of the
damages claim.
Clifford will be greatly missed by
his colleagues, friends and more
importantly his family.
Our thoughts are with Jenny at
this desperately sad time. She
nursed Clifford through the last
painful months both at home and
later in hospital.

Beverley, told Freedom: CRIME IMMIGRATION

to try and make sure that we win
here in Yorkshire, and activities such
as this one will clearly help to move
things in the right direction.”

Party polled over 40% of the vote
and cut a Labour majority of over
1,000 votes to just 16 votes.

It was against all the odds, that the

which is made up of local people,
managed to raise the £15,000 needed
for the march to take place - a victory
for the English in their own country.

Bill Archer sang Land of Hope And

There were boos and jeers for

Collins, of the Stone Cross St George
Association, told the crowd of the
underhand tactics used by the coun-
cil to try to stop the march.
Nick Griffin, the Chairman of the Brit-

and said that he was delighted to be
able to celebrate this famous English
festival.
He told the local newspaper:
“When you consider the pressure the
organisers were put under by the
Labour Party, the massive turnout
shows that the British people are no www.tv.bnp.org.uk
