Default Just received this from the BNP

BRITAIN – TWINNED WITH ZIMBABWE

Imagine a country where:

Despite signs of growing public support for the opposition, political opponents
of the deeply unpopular government are denied the right to work;
People who stand as candidates for the opposition are sacked from their jobs;
Senior government ministers say publicly that this is a good thing;
Pro-government union bosses conspire with close allies in government to expel
members of the opposition from trades unions, and are handed millions of pounds
of taxpayers’ money to fund campaigns against them;
Politicised police officers openly boast of closing down lawful and peaceful
meetings held by the opposition;
Newspapers closely aligned to the ruling regime harass key members of the
opposition, trying to destroy their private businesses;
State controlled television broadcasts calls for the murder of opposition party
members and supporters;
Opposition campaign workers are harassed by the police, with activists having
perfectly legal campaign material confiscated or even being beaten up by police
officers;
Elections are postponed and the electoral system gerrymandered in order to
disadvantage the opposition;
Members of the public who go to the opposition for help with problems they
suffer as a result of regime policies are warned off by the police;
Pro-regime newspapers run intimidation campaigns which result in the closure of
the opposition’s bank accounts;
Pro-regime newspapers openly support illegal attempts by pro-government pressure
groups to close down the most popular political comment website in the country,
because it belongs to the opposition;
Almost the entire print and broadcast media have been co-opted as cheer-leaders
for the regime’s ruthless policy of social engineering and cultural genocide,
and for the regime’s policy of importing huge numbers of new voters from tribes
loyal to it, and rewarding their support with special treatment in jobs and
state handouts;
Government-sponsored gangs of political thugs which do not contest elections
themselves are allowed to distribute huge quantities of illegal propaganda aimed
at the opposition;
The same pro-government gangs are allowed to threaten and intimidate opposition
party workers, including by way of attempted murder of opposition candidates or
their relatives by armed death squads waiting outside election counts;
The mainstream media are either in the pockets of the government, or too scared
of being thought politically unreliable themselves to publicise any of these
attacks on freedom and democracy.

Then think of the fact that, despite such tyranny, the opposition in that
country are making ground, with more and more people voting for them and joining
them, and millions expressing sympathy. The strength of the human spirit and the
determination of the indigenous people to resist the government campaign to turn
them INTO phpbb_second-class citizens in their own homeland are surely worthy of a
documentary by John Pilger or some such champion of the underdog and the freedom
fighter?

No, of course not! For the country in question is not Zimbabwe but Britain, and
the ruling regime which subjects the opposition to all. The regime is Tony
Blair’s, the media outlets include the BBC, Mirror Group Newspapers and the
Daily Express. The opposition party which has been the victim of every single
one of the outrageously undemocratic attacks listed above in the last few months
alone.

In just the last few days we have seen our website taken down by a serious
denial of service attack – something which is classified as an act of terrorism
under the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2000; the customers of our webmaster’s
non-political business have been harassed and intimidated by the Mirror Group
paper the Daily record, and the Daily Mail has begun working on an ‘expose’ of
businesses which buy advertising space in our newspaper.

On Saturday, BNP activists in Smethwick had their entire supply of leaflets
stolen by a gang of 14 police officers – despite the fact that the leaflets in
question have already been deemed legal by the Crown Prosecution Service. Essex
police chiefs has announced their intention to expel BNP members from the police
force

Most serious of all, a far left mob outside the council by-election count in
Dagenham on Thursday night (where, despite an unbelievably dirty campaign by
Labour and the Tories, in what is by no means our best ward in the borough, the
BNP came a close second behind Labour and secured more than double the
Conservative vote in the week where their annual conference had given them the
best media coverage they are likely to enjoy all year) included a ‘spotter’ on a
moped who was seen cruising in the area.

Within moments of this member of the Labour Party-backed United Against Fascism
(sic) operation spotting a car driven by a BNP European election candidate with
a Young Brits (Young BNP) activist passenger, their vehicle was targeted by a
car containing three black males, one of whom fired at least two shots from a
handgun, missing the driver’s head by just a couple of inches.

Taken together, this wave of pressure and attacks on all fronts constitutes
without a doubt the biggest assault on the fundamental tenets of British
democracy in modern history. It is our belief that the increase in the tempo and
ferocity of the attacks is a direct result of panic among the people
co-ordinating the anti-BNP campaign. In the last few days the BNP has enjoyed
stunning votes in council by-elections, the crucial appeal tribunal victory of
BNP ASLEF rail driver Jay Lee over the Marxist hierarchy of his union, and
massive extra public interest as a result of the wave of public revulsion
against Islam arising from the murder of hostages in Iraq.

Public tolerance of the entire Politically Correct Establishment and all its
unwanted works is nearing breaking point. The Powers That Be and their extreme
left allies know this, and are desperately trying to destroy the British
National Party before the long-anticipated Islamo-fascist terrorist outrage that
will transform British politics overnight.

So we have our backs to the wall. But we also have sky-high morale, the most
sophisticated and best organised party machine in the post-war history of
British nationalism, highly experienced and politically capable leadership and
unprecedented levels of public support.

Finally, despite the lack of mainstream media coverage for many of the attacks
listed at the start of this article, word about what is going on is filtering
out INTO phpbb_the public consciousness. And every new assault on our democratic
rights pushes a few more intelligent, thoughtful and now angry people “over the
edge”, transforming them from concerned spectators INTO phpbb_new BNP activists and
future organisers.

The whole of British and European history is full of occasions when government
repression and attempts to cling to power through intimidation, persecution and
violence have all blown up in the faces of ruling cliques whose time is up.
Those who refuse to learn from such history are doomed to repeat it, and Blair
and his cronies are no exception. Do your worst, you vermin, do your worst!

It all sounds very tabloid and scare mongering to me.

Huh? This is just total nonsense. There aren't any state controlled television stations. The Kelly affair should have taught us that. They may have an agenda, but it isn't necessarily the same as the government's.

Quote:

And the rantings continue. This is just drivel.

Whoever writes this kind of thing does the BNP cause no good at all. Conspiracy theories only work if people feel some sympathy for the victims. The BNP actively promotes hate and racial discrimination.

al-Zarqawi only murders in the name of Islam. It is not Islam in itself. When people find the Muslims leaving in their midst repugnant because of the actions of some raving sociopaths thousands of miles away, they are getting upset at the wrong people. In a way, it's human nature. I can understand that, but understanding must prevail. There are indeed a FEW Muslims in some countries that want to do harm, but it is only a small percentage. People become upset with Muslims for not speaking out against terrorism, but they are scared. After 9/11, Muslims in the US went almost INTO phpbb_hiding they were so scared of being abused for a crime they did not commit. Some degenerates even went around throwing firebombs INTO phpbb_mosques and shooting Sikhs just because they wear turbans. A Coptic Christian was murdered just because he looked Arab. Muslims aren't fools. They know that Western society views them with suspicion and almost derision. It makes me think of the history of anti-semitism. People thought that Jews were more loyal to the whole of Judaism than to whatever country in which they lived. This is still true today, but the prejudice now includes Islam. People think that because a terrorist mutilates someone and posts it on the internet that every Muslim sympathizes with the crime or would even do it themselves if given the chance and it just is not true.

There is no such wave of public revulsion. Like the tabloids, the author has just invented this to make it sound more dramatic. Ignore it; it isn't reasoned or based in fact, it is just propaganda. No better than the Tory or Labour lies.

No they were right on at least this, Labour are deeply unpopular. If they do win the next election it will be with under 20% of the publics support. Unfortunatly, when half of the public are so disalusioned they won't vote, and the rest of the votes are divided amongst numerous parties. It means this rancid government get to say they won under our flawed system.

I don't like most of what the BNP stand for, and I do think they deserve their tag of extreme while UKIP do not. However I do think the media do nobody any favours, with their attempts to sway people against them. You can see the main parties pulling the medias strings, and it only makes people angry and possible pushes them further towards voting BNP

Some areas that have had immigration on mass forced on them are so angry, that the BNP hits all the right notes with them. You can't ridicule the people for doing this when they see their communites falling apart.

UKIP has to show itself a real solution to mass immigration, without resorting to the kind of tactics the BNP have used and will use in the future.

That BNP leaflet is such a long rant that to dismantle it point by point would take all evening. I am slightly worried for the sanity of the person who wrote it, as it displays such an extraordinary mixture of paranoia and self-aggrandisement. (I'm thinking particularly of the repeated references to the BNP as "the opposition"!) It took Hitler until May 1945 to reach this level of detatchment from reality!

Having said which, maybe calling the author paranoid is unfair in one respect. Paranoia is the condition where somebody mistakenly thinks that everybody hates them. However, in this case there is no mistake!

Labour aren't in the same league of unpopularity as the Tories in 1997. Blair still has some public support, although he is no longer trusted. They are presiding over an ostensibly healthy economy (although this is looking doubtful now), and the Iraq situation will be mostly resolved by the time of the general election.

As long as the economy continues to look good, Labour will remain popular enough to win the next general election. We tend to over estimate the antagonism against Labour because we support an opposition party. The rest of the country don't see it that way. It is the swing voters who decide an election, and they are likely to vote with their wallets.

I agree in part with Anthony, the proof readers (if they have any) need to re-think what they deem acceptable for public viewing. While I admire the way they don't pussyfoot around like most other political parties they do go over the top in some ways and its off putting even for me and laughable to any who even slightly oppose what they're printing.

This has been discussed before but nothing is ever done about it.

The BNP are opposition in a way Anthony, like it or not. There has been elections where we've wiped the floor with Labour and even nudged the UKIP out. If we weren't opposition then they wouldn't be trying to ban them from just about every public sector job going. Every political party is an opposition. I bet you all class UKIP as opposition.

Labour aren't guaranteed the next election either, I sincerely hope not anyway.

Unfortunately, unless something radically changes, Labour is still streaks ahead of the other parties. The problem is the first past the post system - a small percentage of extra support magnifies the number of MPs that they can win.
