Norfolk Unity

ENGLISH neo-Nazi thugs were among the loyalist mob who slashed the throat of a Celtic fan at the weekend, eyewitnesses have claimed.

Violence erupted on Saturday at the junction of Castle Street and King Street at around 3.30pm involving a mob of up to 70 Linfield fans returning from the day’s Irish Cup semi-final clash with Cliftonville at The Oval.

The 32-year-old Celtic supporter was pummeled and had his throat slashed during the trouble, and today remained in a critical condition at the Royal Victoria Hospital. A number of other people were also injured by bricks, bottles and stones hurled during the rioting.

Eyewitnesses in Castle Street – a mainly nationalist thoroughfare – said the Linfield supporters alighted from a bus and rushed towards the area. Onlookers today reported some of them were wearing neo-Nazi gear.

At first the crowd tried to get into the Belfast Bar at the junction of Castle Street and King Street, but were repelled by up to 100 customers who had been watching the Celtic-Rangers Old Firm match on television.

One witness said: “It was after the Linfield crowd were beaten back from the bar that they singled out a guy in King Street. They knew he was Catholic because of his Celtic shirt.”

And Superintendent Mark Purden told the Nolan show police were aware of men dressed head-to-toe in black roaming the city before the violence. They were monitored by the PSNI CCTV hub in Belfast, and when they saw the gang begin to attack, they tasked officers just after 3.30pm. He admitted police were aware of claims they were neo-Nazis.

One eyewitnesses told the show: “The men tried to get into the bar at first, and one was carrying an extendable baton. Another had a pair of knuckle-dusters and were chanting, ‘Combat 18′.”

Up to eight PSNI jeeps were still patrolling the area late on Sunday afternoon.

Leading Sinn Fein figures, including a former Lord Mayor of Belfast, Alex Maskey, and Bobby Storey, a former IRA prisoner and confidant of Gerry Adams, arrived at the scene shortly after to calm rising tensions.

Eyewitnesses told the BBC’s Stephen Nolan show this morning they had seen attackers

The victim’s father-in-law, who revealed his injuries were horrific, said he was “just in the wrong place at the wrong time”.

“He was on a life-support machine we just didn’t know if he was going to live or die for a time,” he said. His throat has been cut, his face has been badly beaten, he has head injuries with stitches on his nose and is very badly bruised. He wasn’t breathing when he arrived at hospital, and is very heavily sedated.”

Mr Rodgers has called for more police patrols in the city centre in a bid to cut crime. He said: “It saddens me when this type of awful activity occurs in this tremendous city of ours. My thoughts and prayers are with the young man who is in hospital fighting for his life. I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

“I welcome the police response to this appalling incident but I just think that there could’ve been more officers on the ground on Saturday.

“The issue of policing in the city centre is something which concerns me and I intend to speak to senior officers about this shocking incident which has brought shame to our city. These thugs are not real football fans and they have simply undermined all the good work that we have been doing to promote the city.

“What sort of message does this send to people hoping to visit the city? We need to learn from this incident and I just hope the city doesn’t lose its reputation as one of the safest cities in the UK.”

Initial reports claimed that the trouble was between fans of Cliftonville and Linfield but this was later denied by a Reds’ spokesman.

“Cliftonville Football Club wish to point out that from information received from the PSNI and other sources, that our supporters were not involved in this incident,” said the spokesman.

Linfield bosses have been keen to distance themselves from rumours club supporters were involved in the attack.

It has been condemned by IFA President Raymond Kennedy, who said there was no place in football for those involved.

West Belfast SDLP representative Margaret Walsh called on the Irish Football Association (IFA) to investigate the disturbances.

She added: “I would also call on the Irish Football Association to investigate the matter in order to establish if the culprits were Linfield fans. Communities cannot accept this type of behaviour and sport should not be used as an excuse to carry out violent acts.”

Meanwhile, IFA head of Community Relations, Michael Boyd, has hit out at death threat made to Cliftonville manager Eddie Patterson. He added: “The whole football family in Northern Ireland is united in support for Eddie Patterson and his family at this time.

“Eddie Patterson’s commitment as a coach, manager and role model promoting positive community relations through football is well known by football people across Northern Ireland.”

Belfast News Letter

Thanks to Kirklees Unity for bringing the delusions of BNP Dewsbury East candidate Alan Girvan to our attention.

We are all accustomed to the fact that the idiots in the BNP tell some of the biggest whoppers around. However some tell bigger whoppers than others.

Take Alan Girvan for instance, Dewsbury East BNP candidate. Can you spot the lie in this coverage on Alan from 2005? Just to help any fascists who might be reading we’ve marked it in italics.

Bush’s man makes independent bid for Yorkshire seat

EXCLUSIVE – By Neil Hudson

A FORMER advisor to American president George W Bush is fighting the Dewsbury seat as an independent.

Alan Girvan said today he thought he could be the right man in the right place for fed-up voters. Father-of-two Mr Girvan, 36, was born and educated in Heckmondwike. He is a film director, writer and producer and recently left his job as IT sales account manager at AA Training, Batley, to fight the election.

He was immediately involved in the United State’s response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001 when he was called on by Mr Bush’s former cyber security chief, Richard Clarke, to create a secure airport computer system.

Invitation

Mr Girvan said he had been previously been invited to the US to create an alternative to the Internet.

“It was when I was working on that, the 9/11 attacks took place and I was one of the people they called in to ask about setting up a secure computer system for airports.”

The idea was rejected by Congress because of the cost.

Mr Girvan said of his decision to stand in Dewsbury: “I think there is a sense of apathy and despair but you don’t have to vote for the same old parties.

“I am standing on a number of issues, important to Dewsbury, chief among which is the state of the hospital. Taxpayers are paying a lot of money, yet they still might have to spend £40 on a taxi to get to Pinderfields, or get six buses.

“I am also concerned about the future of Dewsbury Market and our estates, which need funding. The people have long lost out to a Huddersfield-centred Kirklees.”

He added that the politicians had over-estimated people’s feelings about Iraq.

“It might be a bigger issue down south but in this area I think people are more bothered about heroin addicts shooting up in the street, or burgling to feed their habit.”

Other candidates are Shahid Malik (Lab); Sayeeda Warsi (Tory); Kingsley Hill (Lib Dem); Brenda Smithson (Green); Alan Girvan (IND) and David Exley (BNP).

The Great Fantasist himself, the One Big Vast Huge Onion’s farcical serial failure Patrick Harrington, is attempting to get Blogger to do the dirty legal work he’s too afraid to do himself.

He’s complained that we used the photograph above from the One Big Vast Huge Onion’s website and therefore breached his copyright.

That’s good, coming from somebody who stole the BNP’s moneyspinner fake “trade union” in an illegal coup – the same “trade union” which ripped off the honourable original Polish Solidarity trade union for its name and its logo.

If Harrington thinks he’s got a case, then why doesn’t he sue us through the English courts? We’re ready and waiting – more than ready and we really can’t wait!

We keep asking – why are the contents of the One Big Huge Vast Onion’s website copyrighted personally to the Great Fantasist, and not to the fake “union” itself?

Has it got anything to do with making sure the Great Fantasist can ride out any future attempt by the One Big Vast Huge Onion’s 211 members to dump him when they realise what a useless waste of space he is by hanging on to the assets?

We reckon it’s exactly that.

Anyway, Harrington’s a bit on the late side. That photo has already appeared on several other internet sites, and though we can’t be sure, we have a feeling it’s about to appear on many more.

We’re not taking it down, and we’re not removing the post.

As far as we’re concerned, loser Harrington can take a running jump off the end of the Britannia Pier. We’re Norfolk Unity, not Clive Potter or Tim Hawke – and we bite back.

As the elections for London’s Mayor and the London Assembly approach all eyes are on the British National Party. Looking ahead to the 2009 European elections, the North West promises to be a particularly fraught battleground as the BNP comes up against a determined anti-fascist campaign.

Another hurdle the BNP will have to contend with in the North West is a resurgent England First Party (EFP) whose message of unabashed white supremacy continues to threaten the hegemony of the BNP in the region. With Nick Griffin arrogantly disregarding the wishes of local party members by appointing himself regional organiser instead of the preferred candidate Chris Jackson, there will be much more to play for than seats in European Parliament. Griffin will also be putting his personal reputation on the line in an area where his political opponents on the far right are strongest.

The EFP was founded in 2004 by Mark Cotterill, a former chairman of the American Friends of the British National Party (AFBNP), which channelled tens of thousands of dollars into the BNP before a change in UK electoral law made it illegal to raise money abroad. Cotterill, who had been involved with the nazi National Alliance while living in America, was subsequently deported because his fundraising also contravened US law. Upon his return to England he fell out with the BNP, Griffin seemingly unwilling to reward his endeavours with a commensurate party position. Disaffected, Cotterill moved to Blackburn, Lancashire where he formed the EFP.

The EFP makes no bones about its white supremacist ideology which marks the party out as more vocally extreme than the “modern” BNP. The EFP wants to “win back” the country from hordes of “immigrant invaders”. To do so requires the “repatriation of all immigrants to their lands of ancestral origin”, which will not be a voluntary matter.

To the EFP ethnic minorities are unassimilable and unwanted, their very presence creating friction: “… their clothes, their food, their culture, their psychology, their biology, their physiology and their history challenges ours at every point of the compass”. To reenergise the sense of national identity it believes has been corrupted by these “aliens”, the EFP advocates the teaching of “the Aryan histories of Western Europe” in schools and “the abolition of the Islamic faith and the demolition of all mosques”.

Many BNP members agree with these sentiments but they would perhaps be loath to couch them in such uncompromising terms. The EFP regularly operates in tandem with both the National Front and the openly nazi British People’s Party. Its meetings are graced by individuals such as Lady Michele Renouf, David Irving’s chief cheerleader who is particularly close to Peter Rushton, deputy editor of the EFP’s magazine, Heritage and Destiny.

Another barrier is the genuine ideological difference between the EFP and the BNP over “English” and “British” nationalism which, though it might seem of minor importance outside far-right circles, certainly contains the potential for a major ideological split. There are certainly people in the BNP who would prefer to “ditch Scotland” if not Wales, especially since the recent internal crisis in which Scottish activists were prominent opponents of Nick Griffin, the BNP leader. The BNP’s monthly magazine Identity has recently attempted to jump on the “English” nationalism bandwagon so as not to be usurped by the EFP not to mention the larger English Democrats party, which recently adopted Matt O’Connor, founder of Fathers 4 Justice, as its candidate in the London mayoral election.

By virtue of its very existence the EFP impedes the progress of the BNP in its main Blackburn base and is beginning to pose a threat elsewhere. Griffin was furious when Cotterill and his fellow EFP candidate Michael Johnson, a local publican, were elected to Blackburn council in 2006, not least because Cotterill again trounced the local BNP organiser in the process.

Cotterill’s triumph did not last. Within a year he had resigned and Johnson had left the EFP, joining the For Darwen group on the council. Cotterill cited the offer of a job in Preston as the reason for his departure not only from the council chamber but also as party leader. He remains actively involved behind the scenes, however, as the party’s nominations officer and, more importantly, as the editor of Heritage and Destiny.

The departure of Cotterill and Johnson does not seem to have diminished support for the EFP in certain areas of Blackburn and Darwen. Although the EFP has not won any more council seats in Blackburn, in May 2007 it polled strongly in Higher Croft (15.2%) and in Mill Hill (18.2%), where it beat the BNP candidate.

Steve Smith took over the reins from Cotterill. Smith had previously been the chairman of Burnley BNP and is widely credited with orchestrating the party’s breakthrough in the town between 2001 and 2003. John Tyndall, the BNP’s founder and veteran nazi leader, was certainly impressed, writing: “Steven Smith is the most successful branch organiser in the history of the British National Party”. Smith alas was unable to enjoy the fruits of his labours. He was arrested and jailed for forging signatures on BNP nomination papers.

The BNP rapidly moved to dissociate itself from its erstwhile hero. Smith claims that Griffin was motivated by vanity, fearing paradoxically that the rise of the BNP in Burnley threatened his own position as chairman. Similar sentiments have been voiced in connection with the expulsion last December of Sadie Graham, another capable organiser now outside the BNP.

With Smith at the helm the EFP expanded its base of operations into Burnley with the intention of taking it back from the BNP. His first move was to stand in a by-election in Daneshouse with Stoneyholme in February 2007. He came third with 141 votes (7%), beating the Conservative candidate into third place. In this predominantly Asian ward Smith never had a hope in hell of being elected and knew it. His candidacy was meant to deliver a simple message: Smith was back in town.

In May 2007 Smith stood in Cliviger with Worsthorne. He came second with 372 votes (17%), though a long way behind the victorious Conservative candidate. More importantly, however, Smith utterly thrashed the BNP candidate Dave Shapcott, who had taken over from Smith as Burnely BNP organiser, beating him into third place. Between them the far-right vote was 29% and Smith appears bent on capturing it all. In Queensgate ward, Simon Bennett polled a creditable 26% for the EFP, coming third.

Smith also has his eye on Brunshaw ward, which once yielded a strong vote for the BNP and returned one BNP councillor. BNP support has dissipated since those heady days and Smith believes he can displace the BNP as a “nationalist” alternative to the Liberal Democrats. Smith fired the opening salvo in October 2007 with “Operation Blanket Burnley” – his plan to saturate the town with 25,000 “wonderfully controversial” leaflets, which stated, “England is being deliberately destroyed by cowards, liars, anarchists and traitors” and alleged that white Britons were “becoming an ethnic minority in their own land”. The Burnley Police hate crime unit is currently investigating the leaflets’ content for incitement of racial hatred. Not that this has stopped Smith handing them out: he claims he only has 8,000 left to deliver.

Shapcott is not amused by the support the EFP is gaining and even less amused by his own members fraternising with the EFP despite its proscription, something surely of concern to the BNP leadership.

The EFP has also begun picking at the bones of other areas in which the BNP has begun stagnating. Since May 2007 it has moved into Wigan where it has won the support of Ian Hague, the former Wigan BNP organiser, and Oldham, where the former BNP organiser Martin Brierley has joined up, another sign that the EFP is gaining in areas where the BNP has failed to capitalise on what was once fertile ground.

The party has also begun to move southwards, establishing a presence in Hastings, Sussex, through the good offices of Alan Winder, another BNP renegade. The EFP fielded a candidate in Whaddon ward, Milton Keynes in June 2007, which caused some strife for the BNP. Anna Seymour, the EFP candidate, came third of six beating the Liberal Democrats, UK Independence Party and an independent candidate. Her campaign drew support from local BNP members including Barry Taylor who has since been expelled.

It is important not to exaggerate the threat posed by the EFP to the BNP. It remains a minute outfit in comparison to its rival. It is, however, the only far-right party capable of mounting a serious challenge to BNP hegemony in the North West. Smith appears to have reenergised the organisation following Cotterill’s “departure”. Shapcott and Griffin have been left bristling with annoyance as the EFP encroaches on its former power base in Burnley. And although there is no indication at present that the EFP are on the cusp of displacing the BNP in Burnley, Smith’s zeal and organisational ability must be a cause for concern within the BNP and indeed for anti-fascists too.

Searchlight

In a desperate attempt to boost their ailing London mayoral and London assembly campaign, the British National Party has been reduced to pleading with English Democrat mayoral candidate Matt O’Connor (famous from Fathers for Justice) to defect to them and abandon his campaign. In a email, leaked to me earlier this evening, the BNP London organiser Nick Eriksen tries to paint the BNP as the most “‘father-friendly’ party in Britain”. He says “the modern BNP is a sensible, democratic and non-racist party”. And Nick Griffin no doubt loves small children and furry animals. Here’s the full text of the BNP missive. It is almost beyond parody…

Dear Matt,

I am surprised, and disappointed, to see that you are considering standing as London Mayoral candidate for the English Democrats. In view of your concern for justice for fathers when it comes to family separation and the custody of children, you must surely be aware that the British National Party is the ONLY party to clearly state, in its national manifesto, that “Divorce and family laws and maintenance arrangements discriminate against men” and to have the policy pledge to “make joint custody of children the norm in divorce cases”…

…The BNP is the most ‘father-friendly’ party in Britain. Of course I know that there are loads of lies and smears directed towards us, but if you read our manifesto you will see that the modern BNP is a sensible, democratic and non-racist party and one which I am sure you could support.

The English Democrats are, frankly, a miniscule fringe group who are using you. You will know that last year they received fewer votes in a parliamentary by-election that the Official Monster Raving Loony Party, and the other week in a by-election in Lambeth the EDs received a mere 8 votes – less than the number of people required to fill in the nomination form!

If you are genuinely concerned about England’s representation within the Union, then you will see from our manifesto that it is the BNP’s policy to “introduce an English parliament within the United Kingdom”. As you can see the BNP is the party which best represents the views you are seeking to promote. Instead of allowing yourself to be used by the English Democrats for their own ends you should come over to the party which genuinely cares about families, fathers and children. The BNP is growing at a tremendous rate. While the EDs were obtaining a mere 8 votes in Lambeth the BNP won a council seat in Havering. People are realising that the BNP is not as it has been misrepresented by our opponents in other parties and in the media. We are a friendly party with the best interests of the British people at heart. Our policies are based on traditional values and commonsense.

Please do contact me if you would like to discuss this or if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Nick Eriksen
BNP London Organiser

I trust Matt O’Connor is sensible enough to tell the BNP precisely where they can stick their email.

Iain Dale’s Diary

A BRITISH National Party member who tried to fight an election in York and in Scotland at the same time has now “quit” after his own party took an injunction out against him.

The BNP has taken legal action against six former officials including a man from York for alleged misuse of party data. Chairman of the BNP, Nick Griffin, has secured an injunction from Manchester High Court, preventing the group from using party property including a list of all its members.

Among the six who have contested the injunction is Ian Dawson (above), the party’s former Group Support Officer. He stood in the City of York Council election for Acomb in April last year as one of nine BNP candidates while also hoping to win a seat in Scotland, through the regional party list system. He failed to win in either city.

The former Yorkshire Secretary and former York Organiser announced his “resignation” from the BNP on the internet in December, while challenging the internal management of the party. His decision to stand down, and the latest court action, follows months of internal wrangling within the party.

The other five former party officials involved in the court proceedings are Steve Blake, Sadie Graham, Matt Single, Kenny Smith and Nicholla Smith.

Simon Darby, a BNP spokesman, said: “We, as a party, sought an injunction against the use of party equipment by the six people. The injunction was granted. He said the equipment concerned included the party membership list as well as mobile phones, digital duplicators and computers. Another hearing is expected to take place in April. We were bound under the terms of the Data Protection Act to take this action,” he said. “There are thousands of names on the list. They have been using it since December. It upset a lot of people.”

He said the group was contesting the injunction and another hearing is expected to take place in April.

“The technicalities of our injunction were that they can’t use anything that we have asked them not to use. They can currently publish things, but they can’t use our membership list. They can’t use the duplicator.”

He was unsure how long the process would take.

Mr Dawson, who is in his mid-20s, attended York College before working as a self-employed administration systems manager. When contacted by The Press, he said: “I don’t want to make any comment on it, not for the time being. I don’t want to get involved in saying things out of turn.”

The Press

Years ago, when I was a committed fascist (or “British Nationalist”, as we preferred), I’d sometimes go out in the dead of night with a few friends armed with paint sprays determined to bring the race war for which we longed a few steps closer by doing our best to provoke it.

So we’d plaster public and private property with slogans like “Black rule in England now!”, “We’ve got your homes, we’ve got your jobs, now we want your country”, “Jihad now!”, and so on.

You get the picture. The idea was that the slogans were the work of “the darkies”.

We’d talk up our own work as much as we could and leaflet the areas we’d sloganised hoping to capitalise on white resentment.

It didn’t work, and it never did, but we always thought it might.

That kind of thing always went on, and probably still does.

A form of it continues today. We’ve seen stickers in Norwich and Yarmouth calling for Moslem Jihad, which carry no imprint or the address of any organisation. There’s a good reason for that – they’re almost certainly the work of our home grown fascists, not Muslims with a yearning to slit Christian throats.

The Internet makes it nice and easy for fascists to play agents provocateur.

BNP Stormfront poster benj1989 excitedly began a thread on March 15th titled BNP Addresses posted on Islamic forum!!! and linked to a post on the Ummah.com forum where, indeed, BNP names and addresses had been posted, together with an exhortation that the Muslim “brothers” should pay the BNP people a visit.

Now what was suspicious about this was that the Ummah.com identity used to post the names and addresses had only been created the same day that benj1989 “just happened” to be perusing its forums.

Fortuitous then that benj1989 was on hand to spot the post the moment it appeared and start a Stormfront thread on it just a minute or two later – and not long before the Ummah.com mods acted to wipe it. How lucky was that?

Not lucky at all, of course. Benj1989 made the post (via anonymous proxy, as the Ummah.com mods have confirmed), and is himself guilty of posting the names and addresses of BNP members on what the Stormfront fools believe is an Islamic jihadist website, hoping to provoke a response.

Benj1989 only got six replies to his Stormfront post, most of them reasonably restrained. Maybe even the comrades at Stormfront weren’t so easily taken in by such an obvious fraud.

Ummah.com is no more than a web resource for observant (and mostly young) Muslims. They discuss all manner of subjects, even the religious, in the same textspeak style adopted by youngsters everywhere, though they appear to be more polite and inquisitive than is usual. Few of them seem to have heard of the fundamentalist lunatics treated to prominent spreads in The Sun and the Daily Mail (in fact there is often a kind of hurt bewilderment that the lunatic tendency is portrayed as being representative of Muslims as a whole), and in a poll on suicide bombings the vast majority were appalled at the very idea.

They do have issues with Iraq and Palestine (as do many non-Muslims) but what you won’t find are the murderous ravings the likes of the BNP pretend are the norm for Muslims. From what I’ve been reading on Ummah.com, when extremists do raise their heads they are quickly shot off.

You’re more likely to find IslamicGirl, fan of TV’s “The Apprentice” (starring the Jewish Alan Sugar), asking if anybody else watches this “fab-diddly-ocious” show (yes, they do – Muslim Girl loves it too).

You’ll find the youngsters playing word association games, talking about the UK primary school where 40 languages are spoken – “I am sure these kids should be learning how to speak english properly first,” says Zain2889 – and discussing religious issues.

Not much to take issue with at all.

Not unless you’re the BNP’s benj1989 and you just have to drag the stink of your own racism and hatred to a relatively benign place like Ummah.com so as to boost your Stormfront street-cred. Oh, and do it by posting the names and addresses of your mates on what you claim is a website populated by throat cutting Moslem fundamentalists.

Even the Medway Madman, Lee Barnes himself, wouldn’t do that. Would he?

Russell Scott Another Kirklees BNP Criminal

News is reaching us here at Kirklees Unity HQ that Russell Scott has been a naughty boy.

Once again Kirklees BNP has been caught short despite their claims of being the party of law and order.

Their website says:

LAW AND ORDER – crack down on crime!

The BNP will crack down on crime and restore public safety and confidence. We will free the police and courts from the politically correct straitjacket that is stopping them from doing their job properly. The liberal fixation with the ‘rights’ of criminals must be replaced by concern for the rights of victims, and the right of innocent people not to become victims. We support the re-introduction of corporal punishment for petty criminals and vandals.

Does this mean that they would support corporal punishment against their very own petty criminal Russell Scott?

Scott has stood as a BNP candidate in Kirklees on several occasions:

Kirkburton 2004
Kirkburton 2006
Mirfield Town Council 2007

His common law wife Nicola King has also stood as a candidate

Denby Dale 2004
Denby Dale 2006
Mirfield Town Council 2007

Some facts about Bradford BNP fascist James Lewthwaite:

1) He was exposed by the Telegraph & Argus newspaper as the publisher of books glorifying Hitler and Nazi Germany. He ran a publishing company Shelf Books Ltd, specialising in Nazi literature from his home in Ascot Drive, Horton Bank Top.

Shelf Books uses a Coventry-based company with unashamedly Nazi sympathies as its main distributor. UFC, which lists only a post office box as its contact address, boasts on its website: “We have literally scoured the world to find you what we believe is the world’s most comprehensive listing of books on National Socialism and Fascism”. The company’s trademark resembles a Nazi swastika.

UFC says its books are “free from the usually offensive propaganda smears of the established print houses.” As well as distributing Shelf Books titles, it offers CDs described as “the world’s most comprehensive collection of period recordings from National Socialist Germany and Fascist Italy.”

Also on offer are full-sized polyester Nazi flags emblazoned with a swastika. “Suitable for flying, wall drapes and as a stunning backdrop to your collection,” says its website.

Other products for sale include hand painted porcelain statues of Adolf Hitler giving a Nazi salute.

Lewthwaite published titles such as Nordic Warriors, Breaking the Chains and SS-Flak. Nordic Warriors profiles the “dedicated fighters for Hitler’s New European Order, whose last days were spent battling to defend the Fuhrer”.

Iron Horsemen, an account of the latter stages of the Battle of Stalingrad priced at £12, offers a free Third Reich Panzer Music CD worth £12.99.

Estonian Vikings is described as “a brief tribute to the soldiers of Battalion Narwa”.

Publicity blurb on Shelf Books’ website says the accompanying photographs “give a good impression of the calibre of soldiers that manned SS-Panzergrenadier Battalion Narwa as they fought for the freedom of their Baltic homeland and for the cause of European civilisation.”

2) After his election it was six months before James Lewthwaite got up to say anything in a council meeting and then he spoke on a motion that had already been dealt with.

3) As leader of Bradford BNP, James Lewthwaite was voted out of office by local voters.

4) This is a description of James Lewthwaite on the Social Affairs website:

He is accompanied by BNP Councillor James Lewthwaite, a plump, smartly dressed, bearded man who is obviously well educated. When he starts talking, which he does almost non-stop, Rose [Thompson] shuts up and seems to shrink a little and it seems surprising that she ever plunged into politics.

(http://www.socialaffairsunit.org.uk/blog/archives/000912.php)

5) The following details James Lewthwaite political conflicts with other leading members of the BNP:

“There was particular animosity between James Lewthwaite and Paul Cromie. Both became councillors in Bradford South but there was where the connection ended. Their relationship soured as Lewthwaite became close to Angela Clarke, the Keighley councillor who was detested by Cromie and Mark Collett, the party’s national head of publicity”.

“Cromie’s relationship with Lewthwaite worsened, with Cromie repeatedly and quite publicly blaming his colleague for the party’s decline in the city. On several occasions he called on the party leadership to discipline or even expel Lewthwaite.”

Peter “Sid” Williamson, the well-known work-avoider, drunk and activities organiser of the British People’s Party has been in Redhill, Surrey, today looking for trouble with the town’s Moslems, who held a celebratory parade in honour of the Prophet Mohammed’s birthday.

Spotting a small item in the Surrey Mirror giving notice of the parade, Williamson made a Stormfront post which worked up an inoffensive religious celebration into an anti-Christian demonstration by fundamentalist Moslems.

In a post titled Exclusive! Muslims to demonstrate against Easter in Redhill Surrey! Williamson wrote: “It would appear that the Christian celebration of Easter this year is clashing with the birthday of Muslim prophet Mohamed. Because of this one of the UK’s most fundamentalist Mosques have organised a demonstration which is due to take place this Sunday, (March 23rd), in Redhill Surrey.”

Williamson claims to have telephoned the Mosque, and gives the impression – without ever stating it as a fact – that the alleged anti-Christian nature of the parade was confirmed to him.

Yesterday (Saturday) Williamson started another Stormfront thread, Calling London / South East!, saying: “I know its short notice, but a few of us are getting together tomorrow. There is a reason for this, so if any of you would like to get out and about tomorrow please PM me.”

As if it wasn’t obvious what the Sofasoaker was planning.

The call to arms went largely unheeded (much as Williamson’s call for fellow Nazis to demonstrate at last year’s Brighton Pride went unheeded – even by Brighton Nazis), the Stormfront Nazis reeling off their excuses for non-attendance, leaving Sid to plead that “we need to stand up and be counted”.

It seems that the BPP in all its miniscule glory did find its way to Redhill, as the photograph we’ve filched from Stormfront shows.

Let’s see… there’s Sid, a curiously dark-skinned woman, and whoever took the photograph. That’s three who stood up to be counted so far.

In all probability the passing Moslems supposedly baying for Christian blood thought that Sid and his cohort (sic) were waiting for a bus, if they noticed the work-shy Chav at all.

More on Sid’s crusade to save British culture in Redhill as we get it… in the meantime, your comments are welcomed – but do try to keep a straight face…

Latest:

Sid’s back from his Redhill rumpus, and offers this report to the Stormfront backsliders:

After we first set up right outside the park where the Muslims were gathering, we were moved away by the police to a “designated area” about half a mile away. There was only a handful of us but we were well received by passers by, who were often sounding their car horns and waving in support. As the Muslims approached the police warned us that they could not guarantee our safety as there was around 500 Muslims approaching. It didn’t deter us at all, and we continued our silent vigil until all the Muslims had gone.

Do we detect a very large lilly being gilded, Sid?

To round off, here’s a pic filched from the BPP website, where Sid is claiming an attendance of seven Aryan Christians, including the pious-looking chap in the Burberry baseball cap.
