They want your kids!

The BNP launched its British Nationalist Youth Movement website yesterday.

A carbon copy of the main BNP website, it's allegedly run by the YBNP and the Student BNP - allegedly, because everything about it seems very adult to us.

Like the main BNP website, the origins of the Wordpress template being used have been completely obliterated, a check on both sites' source code showing that all mention of Masterplan, who created it, has been removed. So not so much as a thanks to the chappie who laboured long and hard on his blogging opus magnus.

Maybe that's because Masterplan is located in India, and the person behind it is one of those Asiatics the BNP hates so much and it wouldn't do to let the world know it.

The funny thing is that the Masterplan template is actually very nice, but the BNP have managed to screw it up by making their customisations almost unnavigable.

But let's get to the heart of the BNYM site...

Decked out with lots of piccies of pretty young girls, the site even has a child protection policy, which states that the responsibility of BNP adults is to ensure:

• their behaviour is appropriate at all times
• they observe the rules established for the safety and security of young people
• they follow the procedures following suspicion, disclosure or allegation of child abuse
• they recognise the position of trust in which they have been placed; and
• in every respect, the relationships they form with young people on their care are appropriate

Now that's really good coming from the party of Mark Collett and Dave Hannam. Really good coming from the party whose "Security Department", allegedly catching that pair in a compromising situation (as they say) with two underage girls in a Blackpool hotel room, kept quiet about the whole affair.

The rest of the website is the usual BNP ethnic-bashing, and there's an attempt to smear London Metropolitan University on the grounds that an alleged Muslim extremist had been a student there. There's even the outright lie that white students have been bullied and expelled because of their ethnicity:

It has been alleged that white ethnic minority students (yes that’s indigenous British and English students) have been bullied and even expelled because of their ethnicity. Anyone with information about about anti-white violence or intimidation can contact the Student BNP via this website in the strictest confidence.

And somebody (maybe me) will contact the LMA in the strictest confidence to point them in the direction of the BNP's libel.

An "Adventure Training" weekend is planned: "Wednesday 13th to Wednesday 20th August 2008. Training and development camp. Places are limited to ten young people and two adults per region."

Note that there's nothing there about enhanced disclosure being applied to those running the weekend, or the two adults per region allowed on the trip.

"BNP Student News" points to a blurb for the BNP's Great White Records: "Part of the BNYM aim is to promote indigenous talent. We start this by promoting a new telent recently signed up to Great White Records." (As always, we preserve BNP spelling and syntax.)

In "School Watch" there's an article titled "The Betrayal of British Children", which is just an attack on the Drove Primary School, Swindon, for saying it is what it is - multi-cultural! Having claimed that the education system "continues to fail", the writer then demonstrates the fact: "Its enough to make you weep Of course they are missing the point. There should be one language spoken and one culture celebrated in the school, and that is British and English" (sic).

The "news" on the website so far is the normal BNP fare of alleged racist attacks against whites, and the only "Letter to the Editor" at the time of writing is quite clearly the work of a very adult hand.

The "Jokes" section then takes the rise out of 90% of the BNP's membership, with a series of "Chav" jokes posted by somebody rejoicing in the name "Youth Officer".

All in all the BNYM offering simply apes the main BNP site. It's a site designed to inculcate and spread hate among the young, and it doesn't have any other purpose.

We'll be keeping a close eye on this, because spreading hate at any time is a serious criminal offence - and spreading it among the young and vulnerable is the most despicable offence of all.

Former BNP Mole Speaks to Immanuel Students

Students at Immanuel College, in Bushey, were privileged to hear from Ray Hill, a former BNP member, who spoke about his incredible experiences during his 5 years as a BNP mole.

Mr Hill spoke about his life story at a ‘Lunch and Learn’ session held at the school, warning students about the expanding influence of the BNP in British society. In his passionate talk, Mr Hill conveyed his hatred of the anti-Semitic beliefs of the BNP. He explained how he appeared on a Channel 4 documentary about the fascist movement, after which he and his family were subjected to death threats and arson attacks.

During his time as a mole, Mr Hill leaked shocking information about the intentions of the BNP, endangering his life to warn others of bomb plots aimed at the non-white population.

Philip Skelker, Headmaster of Immanuel College commented: “Ray's story provides a fascinating insight into the world of the extremist groups which operate on the fringes of our society. It is a privilege for our students to have had the chance to meet someone who had the bravery to speak out against the actions of those around him despite knowing that this could put him and his family in danger. We wish Ray all the best with his valuable work.”

Immanuel College

Atreus adds: Back in my wild and woolly days as an active fascist I came across Ray Hill, who certainly took me in (along with everybody else) and stitched us up like proverbial kippers. Ray did his job very well, and though, back then, it wouldn't have been safe for him to cross my path after his true allegiance became known, all I can say now is - well done, mate. It was years before I understood why you did what you did. It took courage.

BNP London Election Campaign hit by conviction of Police Infiltrator on weapons charges

At the turn of the year officers from the Post Office Security Team based at London's main Mount Pleasant sorting office intercepted a package from the USA which contained a Tazer gun, also known as a stun gun, now in widespread use by the Metropolitan Police Service. The addressee was a 23 year old man, Ellis Hammond. The P.O. security team passed on the address and details of the contents of the package to the police in South East London. It took them only minutes to realise that Hammond was a serving officer in the Police Community Safety unit based in their command area.

Very quickly they were at his family home, detaining him and conducting what was said to be a very thorough search.

They found the following :

1 CS Tear Gas Cannister

1 Police style ASP retractable baton

1 pair of Metropolitan Police issue Handcuffs

I Knuckle Duster

8 combat knives

DVDs with Hate material on them

Various items of British National Party literature

Some Obscene material

25-30 mainly imported T-shirts from the USA bearing nazi and white power group symbols and hardline racist and nazi slogans

4 BB Guns

1 Replica AK 47 Assault Rifle

1 Copy of the Turner Diaries, the US publication that has served as a blueprint for nazi terrorism in the USA.

The Turner Diaries was written by the late William L. Pearce, a close friend of the BNP who has played host to them at his National Alliance HQ in the USA, and was guest of honour at a BNP annual meeting in East London some years ago.

And finally to top it all off, the police searchers discovered a British National Party membership card.

By sheer coincidence Hammond had left his mobile phone on a table in the canteen at the police station he was attached to. A police officer turned it on hoping to find the identity of the owner, but instead found a message from the BNP to Hammond. The officer acted with haste and sensibly reported it to his senior officers who, were already aware of the intercepted Tazer gun.

So what do we and the police know about Hammond?

In recent years he applied to join the Metropolitan Police Service. All applicants are required to fill in a lengthy application form which includes the following questions:

Have you ever been a member of the British National Party?

Are you currently a member of the British National Party?

Are you likely to join at any future date?

Hammond answered in the negative to all three questions. A "yes" to any of them would have debarred him from becoming a Police or a Prison Officer. He failed the interview regardless and later decided to take the other favoured route into the Police Service by becoming a Police Community Safety Officer, spending a year as a PCSO, then re-applying for enrolment in the Met.

Hammond was accepted into the role of PCSO, lying on his application form that he had nothing to do with the BNP.

It would appear that he was not active in any of the three local BNP branches in Greenwich, Bexley or Croydon, although members of Croydon branch had hinted for several years that they had connections with people serving in the Emergency Services and possibly the Police.

We think that Hammond had been talent-spotted by one or more senior BNP officials who were either ex-Police or ex-Military, groomed to join up and play the long game, acting in spy parlance as a sleeper or deep mole.

His Borough Commander had his staff search through Hammond's work record as a PCSO, which included patrolling a beat that took Hammond past the spot where Stephen Lawrence had been brutally killed by a white racist gang. They saw he had made a high number of Stops and Searches, but only two were on Black persons (one being a truanting school child) and nobody had ever complained about the way he had treated them. He was seen by those who managed him to be an exemplary young officer, whose good record would ease the way for him to become a full Policeman.

To this point, the Met's actions in arresting and dealing with Hammond were correct.

They had even sent one of the replica weapons away for tests to see if it could be converted into a useable firearm. As he was not charged over that gun we hope that it was deemed to be safe.

We then felt some discomfort when informed that Hammond was being allowed to resign before his case came to court, rather than being sacked first.

We also discovered that in the summer of last year he had bought a lethal crossbow from the USA, the weapon of choice for many nazis across the world. A silent killing weapon. This had not been found during the initial search of his home. We are now very eager to know if this was because it was missed or because, as we believed, he might have another cache of illegal weapons and material elsewhere. We were assured that as a result of our information about the crossbow, surveillance on Hammond's movements in the period he was free on police bail (but not yet charged) would be stepped up.

We also heard that there were some differences between the Crown Prosecution Service and the officers dealing with the case over what form the charges against Hammond should take.

Last week he appeared at his local Magistrates Court and pleaded guilty to two charges relating to the Tazer gun and the CS tear-gas spray. Both carry punitive sentences. It's normal for magistrates to send such cases to the Crown Court for sentencing, particularly where somebody has lied to join the Police Service and is found to be a member of an organisation that Police and Prison Service officers are barred from joining.

We were astonished to hear that the case had been dealt with there and then, and Hammond conditionally discharged for twelve months.

The day after his conviction his picture and details were still to be found on a Police Web site, showing Hammond as a community beat officer.

By allowing Hammond to resign from the police and advising him and his family that he should take that course, the Crown Prosecution Service was not obliged to reveal his background or his membership of the BNP to the magistrates. So it was unlikely the press would pick up the story and there would be no publicity. This is not the first time that serving Police Officers with far right connections have been let down gently.

Responding to inquiries concerning BNP members having illicit connections with the police service, a spokesperson said: "Yes we have serving Police Officers up to the rank of Inspector and above".

Hammond's father was very grateful about the course taken by the officers dealing with his son's case.

When spoken to by a journalist, Ellis Hammond said that he did not want any media publicity as it might affect his future work prospects. When the journalist tried to take the conversation further, Hammond responded: "I am going to stop now as I am getting very angry."

So what we have here is a nazi liar who has armed himself to the teeth and infiltrated one of the pillars of the Criminal Justice System, who says he cannot control his temper.

Both the Police and the CPS have gone down a strange path with this case, and have allowed a potential terrorist to be turned loose on our streets. We wonder what the Director of Public Prosecutions's thoughts on this case are. Was it dealt with by the local CPS office or the Special Case Unit which deals with all types of terrorist cases, and what does Met Commissioner Sir Ian Blair think about letting people like Hammond off the hook?

So much for confronting terrorism from wherever it arises.

When the Criminal Justice System screws up it's the public who pay the price.

Mum's fury over 'race hate campaign'

A mum is furious a picture of her dead daughter is being used in a "race hate campaign."

Pauline Holcroft allowed several educational campaigns for schoolchildren to use the shocking image of her 21-year-old daughter, Rachel Whitear, taken three days after she overdosed on heroin in May 2000, to prevent other deaths.

But Pauline and husband Mick were horrified to discover the picture had also been published on more than 3,000 anti-Muslim leaflets distributed in Tulketh, Preston, and in the Lancashire villages of Great Eccleston, St Michaels and Chipping.

Mrs Holcroft said: "I am furious to think her picture is being used like this – we have only ever intended it for educational purposes."

The leaflet shows the now infamous picture of Rachel slumped in the foetal position, and makes unsubstantiated accusations about the Muslim community and the world's heroin trade.

Mrs Holcroft added: "It's such a blanket statement. I think it incites racial hatred. I just hope no-one thinks we or any of our family and friends support theseviews. We would never have allowed its use in something like this.

"It is really upsetting because it could land on the doorstep of our relatives in Ormskirk.We never saw her death as a political matter and it has been used without any consultation with ourselves."

The man behind the literature is Tony Bamber, of Greenbank Street, Plungington in Preston, who says he is a member of the British National Party.

He refused to confirm that he had sought Rachel's parent's permission to use the image.

Lancashire Police have received several complaints and are investigating the matter.

Lancashire Evening Post

[NB - Tony Bamber IS a member of the BNP. See also http://norfolkunity.blogspot.com/2008/03/police-and-british-legion-probe.html. We also note that sick lunatic Lee Barnes, BNP legal advisor and long-term sickness benefit claimant, is using stolen images of Rachel in another anti-Muslim rant. Perhaps the police might be interested in that, too?]

BBC in race row after BNP leader blames Muslims for Britain's drug problems

The BBC was last night dragged into a race row after it broadcast claims by the British National Party blaming Muslim immigrants for the country's hard drugs problems.

The comments were made during a debate on multiculturalism on BBC2's Newsnight (click to see the programme), which examined the results of a survey for the channel's White season - a series of documentaries on what it means to be white and working class in Britain today.

It found that white working class are far more pessimistic about Britain's future than their middle-class counterparts, while more than half said no one represented their views and that their quality of life had got worse over the past decade.

When informed the poll showed that white working class Britons were more concerned about drug and drink culture than immigration, the BNP leader Nick Griffin responded with an attack on Pakistani immigrants. He said: "You can't possibly separate the hard drugs trade from the question of Islam and particularly Pakistani immigration. Any working class area of Britain - in a multiracial area - the hard drugs problem is related to Islam and Pakistan."

Interviewer Kirsty Wark responded: "I think there's a number of people that would dispute that."

Griffin went on to reiterate that mixing cultures is not a good thing, saying: "I would say that people who want to reduce the world to a mono-culture coffee-coloured world, they are the ones who hate."

A panellist on the show immediately criticised the decision to show the clip, branding the decision 'pathetic'. Talk show host and columnist Jon Gaunt last night said: "Putting on somebody like that knuckle-dragger. I don't really understand the point. He doesn't represent me and doesn't represent most working class people. He's not a working class guy himself, and the foul things he was coming out with there about the drugs and Islam and the rest if it, and the nonsense about coffee culture just makes me want to puke."

He added: "The BBC probably put him on to make out again that all white working class people are fascists. I'm highly suspicious. Why did you interview Nick Griffin on this debate? It's pathetic."

The BBC today issued a statement which defended its choice of Nick Griffin as a participant in the debate.

It said: "The views expressed were his as leader of the BNP and he was robustly questioned and challenged on his comments throughout the interview. Newsnight does not ban any group from taking part in debate as long as they are operating within the law. The programme has a reputation for tough and challenging interviews and within the context of the debate it was relevant to hear from the leader of the BNP. He was one of a number of people debating the issues on the programme."

Long Lawford and New Bilton ward by-election: another failure for the BNP

Since suffering the excision of large tracts of its administrative area in the local government reorganisation of 1974, the ancient Midland county of Warwickshire has had a distinctly odd and artificial appearance - there is nothing where Coventry, Solihull, Birmingham and their hinterlands should be.

Industrial Coventry marked something of a boundary between the two distinct parts of Warwickshire, anciently divided into Arden in the north and Feldon in the south. Coal-mining became a major (if not the major) industry of north Warwickshire, which also boasted a sprinkling of manufacturing towns such as Nuneaton and Bedworth. South Warwickshire remained largely agricultural, and is linked in the minds of most with Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare, and the beautiful rolling countryside that runs down to the Cotswolds.

East of Coventry lies Rugby, close to the borders of Northamptonshire and Leicestershire.

Apart from its famous school and large cement works, it's really quite difficult to find anything of interest to say about Rugby, which resembles the towns of the northern county more than it does those of the genteel south.

It is, though, one of those Midland towns undergoing demographic change, reflected in the fortunes of the major political parties. In 1999 the local borough council comprised 22 Labour councillors, 11 Conservatives, 7 Liberal Democrats, and 8 others, mostly independents. A steady annual decline in Labour support last year saw the Conservatives take control with 27 seats, against Labour with 11 and the Liberal Democrats on 7.

In the 1970's a small National Front group operated ineffectually in the town, allied with the larger but equally ineffectual Coventry branch. The Rugby group seems to have disappeared altogether in the NF's 1979/80 fragmentation, since when racist activity in the town has been barely detectable.

Racism has returned to Rugby twenty-eight years on in the form of the British National Party, which is running a candidate for the Long Lawford and New Bilton division of Warwickshire County Council in tonight's by-election.

New Bilton is a part of Rugby, while Long Lawford is a largish village-cum-suburb lying to the north of the main Coventry road.

New Bilton comprises a large proportion of late-Victorian terraced housing, and - though we don't have the latest figures - according to the 2001 census in occupational terms the inhabitants were roughly evenly split between those describing themselves as supervisory, management or professional and those describing themselves as skilled, semi-skilled or unskilled manual workers or similar. In 2001, census figures put the ethnic minority population at around 8% of the total, mostly comprising Asians, and the vast majority of those Hindus.

Long Lawford, for which we have no recent data (but some personal knowledge) is more obviously compartmentalised, a council estate and private developments growing around a not unattractive old village.

In the 2005 elections to Warwickshire County Council the Conservatives made some progress at the expense of Labour and the Liberal Democrats, overtaking Labour to become the largest party, but maintaining a long-standing situation in which no party has overall control.

In 2005 Long Lawford and New Bilton voted as follows (percentages in brackets):

Con 1191 (29.02)
Lab 1712 (41.72)
L-D 585 (14.25)
Ind 616 (15.01)

Safe-ish Labour territory on the surface, then, but the absence of an Independent and the intervention of the Greens and the BNP, together with government unpopularity, could well put a different complexion on matters for the defending party in the face of an aggressive Tory campaign.

Again we have a by-election falling close to general area where the BNP has obtained worryingly good results. Nuneaton and Bedworth are not far away, and it's not much further to Tamworth and the south Derbyshire/north-west Leicestershire districts that have proved so fertile for the racist party.

Long Lawford and New Bilton ward is untried turf for the BNP, but they should - given the location and its proximity to other BNP units - be capable of mounting a half-way decent campaign aimed at gaining 15-20% of the vote.

The BNP candidate is George Jones, who lives some distance away in Kenilworth, as he has done for the best part of three decades.

George has a long history in extreme right wing politics. In the late-1970's he was a member of the British Movement, then run by "Mad Milkman" Michael McLoughlin, but somehow became associated with former members of the National Party splinter group in Coventry and Warwick - notably with Michael Cole, the National Party's hyperactive (and not entirely trusted) Warwick organiser, and also with Robert Relf, the Leamington "race rebel" imprisoned for displaying a sign declaring his house for sale to "English people only".

Relf had long been associated with the British Movement and Colin Jordan (who lived in nearby Coventry), while Cole, who - like Relf - made no secret of his Nazi views, eventually found his way to Denmark to help in the running of a now forgotten Nazi organisation.

Jones, Cole and Relf were also close associates of the hardline elements within Coventry National Front, who followed John Tyndall into the BNP's New National Front predecessor.

Like most of the racists in the Coventry/Warwick area, keen rambler George had an abiding interest in all things Nazi. We feel pretty sure that if George's interest in such dubious matters is on-going then he may well have neglected to mention as much to the electors of Long Lawford and New Bilton - as he may well have neglected to mention the contents of a letter published by the Leamington Courier all those years ago, still existing as yellowed archival hard-copy, wherein George suggested that the release into the air on a favourable wind of a few grammes of a certain noxious substance would solve the problem of Third World overcrowding at a stroke.

Ho hum.

Long Lawford and New Bilton ward result:

Lab 724 (33.78)
Con 723 (33.74)
BNP 313 (14.61)
L-D 235 (10.97)
Grn 148 (6.91)

Total 2143

The result was declared following two recounts, and is clearly bad news for Labour, despite retaining the seat. On this occasion BNP intervention seems to have favoured the Tories, as much of Labour's almost 8% loss of vote share can be attributed to them (and, in smaller measure, to the Greens). There was no joy for the Liberal Democrats either, losing over 3% of their vote, while the glory days of the Greens would appear to be well and truly over.

The BNP share falls just below the bottom end of our expectations, but almost certainly very much below their own. This was an indifferent BNP performance, the only comfort for them being that of coming in ahead of the Liberal Democrats and the Greens, neither of which had realistic hopes of making an impact in what for both parties is a difficult ward.

Long Lawford and New Bilton decisively rejected George Jones and the BNP, and if this result is even vaguely suggestive of the electoral possibilities open to the BNP in this area, then Rugby isn't going to go racist anytime soon.

Police and British Legion probe 'appalling' BNP leaflet

A POLICE probe has been launched into a leaflet posted to homes across Burnley and Pendle which blames Muslims for the heroin trade in Britain.

A British National Party councillor from Pendle and a former Burnley BNP election candidate are named in the leaflet as endorsing the views.

Councillors have called for Coun Brian Norton Parker, a BNP councillor for the Marsden ward in Nelson, to quit.

But both he and John Rowe, a former BNP candidate for Rosegrove with Lowerhouse in Burnley, have spoken out in support of the leaflet.

Colleagues on Pendle Council are now considering reporting Coun Parker to their watchdog, the Standards Board, on suspicion of bringing the authority into disrepute.

Police have confirmed that an investigation has been launched into the leaflets - of which hundreds were delivered to homes - after a number of complaints were lodged with Lancashire Constabulary.

The question of whether the leaflets amount to incitement to religious hatred is now being considered by Crown Prosecution Service lawyers.

Another inquiry looks set to be launched by the Royal British Legion, as the leaflets claim to be a 'Preston Pals' publication.

The Pals represent a Lancashire regiment,the 5th Battalion, which endured heavy casualties in the First World War.

Coun George Adams, chairman of the legion's Nelson and district branch, said he was furious that the organisation's name has been linked to the "racist" flyer.

The Walvderden councillor told a meeting of Pendle Council's Nelson committee: "I am asking if Coun Brian Norton Parker will distance himself from the leaflet as his name is on it."

Insp Russ Procter, of Lancashire Police, who was also in attendance at the meeting, said: "This leaflet has been distributed around Burnley, Pendle and Preston.

"I am also aware that this leaflet has been distributed in the Brentwood Road area and we have had a number of calls about it and we have passed this on to our hate crime unit.

"There is now a file which has been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service.

"There are a number of residents who have been concerned."

Coun David Foster, Nelson committee chairman, added: "I think it is absolutely appalling that that sort of leaflet is being put out."

But Coun Parker declined to dissociate himself from the leaflet or its contents.

Coun Parker said: "I have been asked to apologise for it but I think that the heroin trade has to be highlighted because it causes so many deaths.

"One person dies every day in Scotland, I have read, because of heroin.

"This is a campaign by my colleague Tony Bamber which I support if it highlights the number of deaths from heroin."

Speaking after the meeting, Mr Rowe, of Cowper Street, Burnley, said: "I do not think that this (leaflet) is unreasonable."

A note on the leaflet says it had been produced by a Tony Bamber of Preston.

Police probe into BNP heroin leaflet

A British National Party member could face police investigations after he distributed hundreds of leaflets across Preston which blame Muslims for the heroin trade in Britain.

Tony Bamber, who stood in local elections for the BNP in Tulketh ward in 2006, denied being solely responsible for the distribution of the leaflets but admitted he was involved.

Mr Bamber, 52, said: "The leaflets are not making a comment about the Islamic religion, they are making a statement about the activities of Muslims.

"The leaflets were made by Preston Pals, a group of concerned indigenous people in the city."

The question of whether the leaflets amount to incitement to religious hatred is now being considered by the Crown Prosecution Service.

Detective Sergeant Graham Gallagher, head of the Hate Crime Diversity unit at the Lancashire Constabulary, said: "This leaflet has been distributed around Preston, Burnley, and Pendle.

"We received a number of complaints after the leaflet was distributed to a number of addresses and we have now submitted a file to the Crown Prosecution Service to see if we have sufficient evidence to progress with our inquiry."

Another inquiry looks set to be launched by the Royal British Legion, as the leaflets claim to be a Preston Pals' publication.

The Pals represent a Lancashire regiment - the 5th Battalion - which endured heavy casualties in the First World War.

Mr Bamber, whose name appears on the leaflet, said he would continue distributing them.

BNP wants death penalty for anti-referendum MPs

In an astonishing outburst on the official BNP website, contributor Chris Brown today called for the death pentalty to be applied to almost half our parliamentary representatives:

Treason can not be tolerated by any society - especially when it is perpetrated by those who are sworn to protect us - Our Members of Parliament!

Each and every one of these traitors deserves to face the ultimate punishment for their treason - no exceptions!

Their "crime" was to vote against a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.

Whatever one thinks of that treaty, and whatever one thinks of the MP's who voted against holding a referendum, surely only the mad and the evil could get themselves to believe that elected representatives not voting to the BNP's liking should face execution.

Brown's ranting comments provide us with a telling and accurate insight into the mindset of the BNP, and hint very strongly at exactly what kind of murderous government the British National Party would have in store for us should it ever find itself in power.

Does any other political party use such violent language or make such threats against those with whom it disagrees?

No.

But then, the BNP is no ordinary political party.

You have been warned.

War of words over Tory action on BNP

A LEADING Thurrock councillor has challenged his Conservative counterpart to match rhetoric with action and kick out Tory councillors and party members he has accused of calling Thurrock Conservatives to "unite with organisations such as the BNP".

However, Tory leader Terry Hipsey has hit back at Labour "mischief making".

Labour's leader, councillor John Kent said: "Six weeks ago councillor Hipsey told the people of Thurrock he knew some of his members held extremist views and wanted to unite with the British National Party. Six weeks later and the Conservative party has done nothing to kick these extremists out.

"They are either now happy to have these people in the Conservative Party or there are too many of them and they don't have the guts to take them on.

"Whatever the reason, it proves the Tories are just all talk and lack the courage to take firm action to clean-up the local Conservative Association."

Labour were reacting to cuncillor Hipsey's remarks during a meeting of Thurrock Council's Cabinet on Wednesday, January 16 when he said: "I am aware that even within the ranks of our own party there has been a clamour among some to jump aboard the bandwagon and even, in some places, the call to unite with organisations such as the BNP".

Councillor Hipsey says his words have already been followed by the necessary action and he said: "As mischief-making councillor Kent knows full well, the mark of strong leadership is to manage discipline, ensure motivation and to act as particular circumstances dicate.

"Councillor Kent is not privvy to what goes on within the closed doors of our party organisation, much as I'm sure he would like to know the secrets of our success.

"I spoke strongly, and publically, on the issue of extremism and I am satisfied that where action was warranted it has been taken and where diplomacy has been required it has been delivered.

"We have delivered a firm message to the people of Thurrock and my fellow councillors and I are committed to making good on our word.

"As we approach the next election I am confident that my Conservative colleagues are of one mind and one voice, supportive of the Conservative brand and ready to continue to successfully lead this borough.

"Councillor Kent's petty rhetoric barely disguises the fact that they have no real policies of their own to talk about."

"Frankly, I think it's discusting and am in total dispair" says suicidal Eurovision fan

The moment I heard that Andy Abraham (left) had been chosen to represent Great Britain at the Eurovision song contest I just knew I had to head over to Stormfront to see what the Nazis and their BNP playmates had to say about it.

First off the mark was English Militant, allegedly from Norfolk, who flies the swastika in his avatar. He wasn't happy at all: "Another Eurovision, another embarrassment for Britain!" he moaned. Five minutes later Doriot came along to say what English Militant hadn't: "Sad to see that Britain will be represented by a malteser headed coon."

You'd never have believed the long derided home of the excruciating Euro bing-bang-along song was required viewing for racists.

A few hours later came Birmingham's Freedom UK: "The rantings of a puppet turkey will be the lesser of two evils compared to a code red chimp out on stage."

Ireland, in a desperate attempt not to win Eurovision, is sending a puppet turkey to represent it, in case you were wondering.

Essexred, tireless racist lunatic is nonplussed: "How did that Africoon get in? I thought this was the Eurovision, not the Negrovision contest?"

But a typical Stormfront dispute has already started when Lautoka innocently points out that "Loyal little Malta usually votes for Britain, but the British themselves no longer seem to have the same sort of ethnic loyalty", which doesn't please Londoner Always White at all: "What ethnic loyalty do we have with Malts? , they are proberly the most mix up nation going."

Stung by the retort from one of Stormfront's most rabid inhabitants, Lautoka quickly backs down, "Point taken, I was thinking more of their loyalty having been a British colony for so long, but you are certainly correct they a Mediterranean race."

That's not good enough for spelling ace Always White, though: "Mediterranean race? there is no such thing, as for the maltease they have been invading by blacks Arabs turks the lot," he growls. "Proberly the most polluted of any nation, if you can call Malta a nation."

Lautoka takes that point, but, "The point I was making was that other European races such as the white European Slavs, those for the White European Baltic states and the very white European Scandinavians, seem to have a racial solidarity which is markedly missing in modern day Britain."

Which just isn't good enough for Always White: "I think you are mixing up race,whites is exactly what we are, does not matter if you are German or Russian you are still a part of the white race. Also there is no such thing as other 'European races'".

And so it goes on, to PaulTheWoodGnome's displeasure: "Can someone please get this thread back on line? Look, we have an egg'n'spoon representing us on Eurovision which just shows what Terry friggin Wogan wants the BBC to encourage. Are we up for that? Frankly, I think it's discusting and am in total dispair..."

"Total dispair"? Is PaulTheWoodGnome about to top himself?

Lautoka gets back on-topic and in true extreme right wing form suggests there's more to this than meets the eye: "I certainly agree that it is depressing that Britain is being represented by a middle aged negro, and the fact that he was chosen as a result of the vote of 'Sir Terry Wogan' suggests that he is another agent of the anti white establishment."

Other's aren't so sure, though. Doriot again: "Possibly, or perhaps Wogan was voting for the most risible candidate out of those available."

And that's good enough for Wogan fan Raffles: "Agreed. I never doubted Mr Wogan's intentions for a second. This is cause for celebration."

So, it's champagne all round that Terry Wogan's cunning plan worked!

Anyway, who needs to watch Eurovision for a laugh when you've got Stormfront Britain - where it's always nul point?

Good luck to Andy Abraham just the same! (And apologies to all for the racist language replicated here.)

Yarmouth students visit Auschwitz

Enlightening for students

Great Yarmouth MP Tony Wright and students from East Norfolk Sixth Form College this week returned from a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau vowing to act on the lessons learned from the experience.

The visit was a unique opportunity for students to see what happened, to pay respect for those who lost their lives and to explore the universal lessons of the Holocaust,

They were shown around the camp's barracks and crematoria, and witnessed the registration documents of inmates, piles of hair, shoes, clothes and other items seized by the Nazis.

They were then taken the short distance to Birkenau where a memorial and candle-lighting service was held to remember the six million Jews, the Roma, Sinti, gay, disabled, black people and other victims killed at the hands of the Nazis.
