The UK Budget

This year the UK government plans to spend £120 billion more than it receives from all sources of revenue. In order to balance the books we would have to slash spending. That would mean closing hospitals, cancelling defence contracts, reducing benefits and sacking civil servants. But it would restore us to solvency.

In an ideal world we would have a popular government with a workable economic policy and the power to act. But that’s not going to happen any time soon so we must deal with what we’ve got. If we trimmed the budget by £120 billion there would probably be a general strike and mass civil unrest. If the government didn’t fall right away it would certainly be thrown out at the next election. The fact is that a democratic government cannot deal with the problem. An authoritarian government would be required but that’s not going to happen either.

So we blunder on, borrowing money or simply printing it. The world reacted with horror when the Cyprus government decided to steal bank deposits but the UK government has been doing it for years. By keeping interest rates at 0.5% when inflation is at 2.8% they are robbing us blind. And every time they issue another tranche of QE they drive down the value of the pound against the dollar which raises oil prices and makes us even poorer.

Chancellor George Osborne is tinkering with government spending to save a billion here or there but the £120 billion black hole remains. We all know that the crippling cost of social welfare is destroying our country. We borrow money to keep people on the dole because they refuse to take minimum wage jobs that are available. We then import workers from all over the world to do these jobs. Of course, the sick and disabled must be provided for but we have got to stop throwing money at able-bodied work dodgers, be they homegrown or imported.

Immigration didn’t cause all of our problems but it has aggravated them. The trouble is that our politicians are living in a world of fantasy in which the UK is a benevolent motherland dispensing justice and welcoming the huddled masses to her bosom. They are still living in the days of Empire when we could send a gunboat to blast the Fuzzy-Wuzzies into submission; and when missionaries and colonial officials in crisp khaki shorts spread British civilization amongst the heathens. But times have changed; the natives are now out-producing us and we are rapidly going broke.

Austerity

(There’s nothing new about austerity: this is from Nation No 4, March 1974)

Following an inconclusive election we have been warned to expect hard times for at least four or five years. Ted Heath failed to cut prices “at a stroke”; the economy is in crisis and we don’t have the money for such grandiose projects as Maplin Airport, or a network of super highways to link one traffic jam to another.

But austerity may bring some blessings. Concorde, the most expensive civil airplane ever built may have to be axed. No responsible government would allow such a dangerous and noisy aircraft to overfly its airspace at supersonic speed. Concorde will join Blue Streak, the Groundnut Scheme, and the distribution of gas masks as another example of spendthrift government. The Channel Tunnel is something else we can’t afford. The French will probably build it and put an evil-eyed pissoir attendant at Dover to charge us entry.

We offer a few more ways in which Britain could save money.

1) Link overseas aid (£300 million in 1973) to repatriation – if they want our money they must co-operate in the resettlement of their people.

2) Tax the really rich. The Tories are worried that high taxes will drive them abroad, but Messrs Hyams, Cohen, Rothschild, Sief and Sainsbury cannot take their property and their businesses with them.

3) Rethink the whole mess of state handouts; Arts Council grants to mediocre theatre groups; the futile race relations industry; improvement grants to millionaire landlords.

4) Abolish the Civil List. Most Britons support the monarchy – fair enough, but the Royals are some of the richest people in the world, why should we pay for them?

5) Quit the United Nations and all its bankrupt offshoots. So far the UN has given Eastern Europe to the Soviets, lost a war in Korea, started a war in the Congo and run away from trouble in the Middle East.

It’s no good Ted Heath or Harold Wilson telling the people to tighten their belts while they spend money as fast as they can issue it. Let austerity start at the top – it will filter down soon enough.

(The February 1974 general election produced a hung parliament. Oil prices quadrupled following the Yom Kippur War and the stock market collapsed. A second election in October was won by Harold Wilson by just three seats. But the economy continued to deteriorate and Britain had to bailed out by the International Monetary Fund in 1976 when the Natwest Bank threatened to default)

Every Revolution Started as a Conversation

The ultimate objective of any political party is to come to power but very few of them get anywhere near government and in modern times even the old-established parties have to form coalitions. The minor parties can distribute leaflets, sell newspapers, knock on doors, hold public meetings, host websites and forums, and stand in elections. They have no hope of getting elected but they can gain publicity, train their members, and raise funds. If they’ve got a serious message they will make converts and if they are persistent they will build up a core of voters. But anyone wanting to become an MP is advised to join one of the big parties.

Plutocracy is destroying our country but we can fight back. We must remember that every revolution started as a conversation; and every party started as a discussion group. Mao said: “let one hundred flowers bloom.” He might not have meant it but it’s true nevertheless.

An anti-immigration party is unlikely to come to power in the UK but if it attracted enough votes it could influence government policy. Ukip are a bunch or unreformed Tory reactionaries emotionally stuck in the fifties but they are frightening the big parties into immigration controls. This goes against their instincts because the Labour Party believe in internationalism from a Marxist and Methodist standpoint, the Tories believe in it from a business perspective, and the Liberal Democrats are stricken with post-imperial guilt.  But whether immigrants are seen as socialist brothers, souls to be saved, or customers to be fleeced, they compete with our own people who are trying to earn a living in their own country.

Most politicians are unprincipled charlatans but they have a well-developed sense of survival and they will support any policy that keeps them in power. How many German MPs during the Nazi era really supported the regime; and how many just went along with it for the sake of a comfortable salary and all the trappings of office? Our gutless representatives are no different. They are currently spouting the multiracial mumbo-jumbo of liberal democracy but if it was necessary for their careers they would be saluting the Fuhrer and strutting around in jackboots.

So don’t despair; keep talking, keep writing and don’t believe anything that you read in the newspapers. The global capitalist system is breaking down because cheap goods and cheap labour are flooding markets that have run out of money. There will have to be a complete reorganization of trade, industry and migration based on sustainable production and consumption. This is not a matter of opinion but an economic imperative. As usual our lazy and misinformed politicians are behind the curve but the sovereign debt crisis will force them to wake up. When the banks run out of money and their paychecks stop arriving we will see some action.  

NR Five Questions   I asked our readers the following five questions; Who are you? What do you believe in? If you could direct government policy what would you do? What are you proud of and what do you regret? How would you like to be remembered? Their replies have shown a very broad range of opinions from libertarian to authoritarian, from spiritual to agnostic, and from realistic to fantastic. I profoundly disagree with some of them. I sometimes despair of parliamentary democracy but I support free speech. Let all things be discussed.   John Bean, who writes the Nationalist Notebook column on the BDP website, restated his belief in European Confederation - issue 76. Robert Edwards, the editor of European Socialist Action, defended freedom of religion and opposed racial supremacism - issue 77. Bill Baillie, of Nation Revisited – that’s me – supported European unity and social justice - issue 78. Michael Woodbridge, who writes for the Civil Liberty website, acknowledged Divine Providence and described his philosophy as Racial Socialism – issue 96. Eddy Morrison, of the Nationalist Sentinel blog, outlined his commitment to White Nationalism and strong government - issue 97. Robert Best, who writes for several publications including the League Sentinel, emphasized spiritual awareness and European unity – issue 98. Arlette Baldacchino, of the Viva Malta website, combined a respect for tradition with her vision of Imperium Europa – issue 99. Alexander Morano, from North America, stressed the importance of European culture and the continuity of art and literature – issue 100. Rufus, of the News From Atlantis blog, promoted freedom and opposed globalism and materialism – issue 101.   We would like to hear from more of our readers – not just writers but anyone with something to say.

My name is Sid, joint founder and ex National Organiser of the BPP. I have a blog called The White Way Home. http://thewhitewayhome.blogspot.co.uk/

I'm a National Socialist, I believe that the Aryan race should be not only preserved, but revered as the greatest race on the planet. The lies told by the Jews after WW2 are easy to contest, German people do not deserve to be labeled as mass murderers. I believe that race mixing is diluting and polluting our great race, that is the true genocide, television has made it fashionable for young people to mix with Negroes, Pakistanis, and Jews. Teachers, social workers, and all other public sector workers are trained to brainwash our children and threaten us with prison, taking our children away etc. I am aware of at least two majority non white cities in England, Leicester and London. This is highly contagious and will one day destroy our nation beyond repair. We have a huge fight on our hands, but nobody is prepared to say anything let alone do anything. It is time to round up the sheeple and prepare them to defend our island.

WE MUST SECURE THE EXISTENCE OF OUR PEOPLE AND A FUTURE FOR WHITE CHILDREN.

If I could direct govt policies I would start by installing strict custom and immigration centres at every entry port. Non whites arriving from overseas will be refused entry. I would then offer all non whites residing here money to emigrate to anywhere they choose with the exception of Germany or USA. Once that phase is over I would start denying benefits to all non whites, I'd ban all Mosques and synagogues, and the practices of both Halal and Kosher slaughter would become a hanging offence. Once that phase is over, I presume that there will be significantly less non whites here. It would then be time to round them up. Other nations would be asked if they would take them, like Brazil did many years ago. The remaining non whites will be sent to the nations who agreed to take them. By then we would have an almost completely White Great Britain, but there would be a lack of people to do the jobs left by the non whites that had left. I believe that there are many expats living abroad because of the garbage they were being forced to live among here. I would create a new govt agency specifically for the purpose of encouraging those expats, as well as other Whites from Europe to come here and help us to create a renaissance of a great Great Britain.

I'm obviously proud of my five children, they are my greatest achievements. In politics I'm proud to have organised, chaired, and spoke at many nationalist meetings. I will always remember my first meeting, I had to organise, chair, and make my first speech. The late great John Tyndall was one of my guest speakers; it was his last meeting as we so sadly lost him nine days later. I have also stood with the very best White Nationalists, drastically outnumbered and defied the odds against homosexuals (Brighton pride 2007 five of NF demonstrating against three hundred thousand homosexuals), Redhill Surrey (Four of us with flags and banners everywhere, demonstrating against a march of five thousand Muslims, who had decided to march through Redhill on Easter Sunday. I'm also proud that I decided to take a step back from politics for a couple of years to get my mental health sorted out, because for a long time I was in a very bad place. Now I'm sleeping better, I don't drink anywhere near as much, and take better care of myself.

I have a lot of regrets, things I wouldn't put on the Internet. All of the stupid, even dangerous things I've done, the stupid mistakes I have made, are a direct result of my mental health, the meds I was on then, and on top of all that copious amounts of alcohol.

I would like to be remembered as a great father, that is how all my children think of me now, and that is the most important thing in the world to me. If I was to be remembered for political reasons, I would like to be remembered as a man who stood up for his beliefs and tried to educate the ignorant masses with both words and actions.

The Menace of Global Capitalism

 (From John Bean’s former website February 2003 retrieved by Wayback Machine

http://web.archive.org/web/20030217050702/http://www.johnbeanstalk.co.uk/

We of the Radical Right are supporters of the small businessman and free enterprise. Nevertheless, we can have sympathy, if not empathy, with certain aspects of the left's militant campaign against global capitalism, even if we draw the line at attempt to do a 'twin-towers' job on the London Stock Exchange or other worldwide finance houses. Finance should serve the business of the country: not control it.

In this 21st century finance has set its horizons far beyond the nation state: it is now controlling the global market and the interests of individual nations are very much secondary to that objective, whether it is Britain or Brazil. As one British manufacturing base after another has been closed down and manufacture increasingly transported eastwards to "take advantage of cheaper labour costs", New Labour - with support from the other PODs (Parties of Decadence) - has told us in Britain that the jobs are being replaced by jobs in the service industry. Mark you, there is not much room here for ex-miners, shipbuilders and steelworkers, as most of the new jobs are for women. Perhaps the largest growth sector in the service industry is the call centre. Until about eighteen months ago we were told that it would soon be employing one in five in the UK.

However, we hear little of that nowadays as one call centre after another is either closed or reduced in size as these jobs are switched to S.E. Asia, mainly India. To date more than 60,000 British jobs (including banking and accountancy jobs) have been subject to the great Indian takeaway, with a further 7,000 going from Norwich Union in October(2004), making a total of 14,000 from this company alone. These global capitalist companies are, of course, exploiting the Indian and other Asian workers who are paid one tenth of the salary that their British counterparts need. Those of us who have worked in India know that there are countless thousands of Indians who have a good command of English. But what an accent! It takes a fortnight to crack the code.

 Many Shades of Black

John Bean’s biography Many Shades of Black charts his political involvement from Mosley’s Union Movement in 1950 to the contemporary BNP in 1999. It covers the rise and fall of the National Front and warns of the dangers of fragmentation. It’s now available from Ostara Publications at £12.95 plus postage. http://marchofthetitans.com/many-shades-of-black-by-john-bean/

Margaret Thatcher

Most of the things that Margaret Thatcher is famous for would have happened anyway. The coalmining industry was wiped out by competition from cheap gas and the motor industry collapsed because our cars were unsellable. The Unions that depended on these industries died with them. She sold off the council houses but that was a mixed blessing and we can thank our armed forces for winning the Falklands War. She bravely defied the IRA by addressing the Tory Conference at Brighton hours after the Grand Hotel bombing. But she will be remembered for the disastrous poll tax; an attempt to collect local taxes that was bitterly resisted.

She is credited with bringing down the Berlin Wall but when Germany was struggling to be reunited in 1989-90 she tried to perpetuate the oppressive East German regime and solicited the help of Francois Mitterrand and Mikhail Gorbachev. Helmet Kohl states in his memoirs that she told them; “We beat the Germans twice, and now they’re back.” She fawned over Ronald Reagan and the Atlantic Alliance but resisted every move towards German and European unity. She was a Churchillian Conservative who looked to America and was deeply suspicious of Europe.

Dave Cameron has the same petty-nationalistic mentality and he will probably go the same way as the blessed Margaret Thatcher if his poll ratings continue to fall. The Tories treat their leaders with the same brutal contempt as their foxhounds. As good capitalists they know how to deal with the sick and the lame and they do not burden themselves with guilt. They gave Maggie a splendid send off at St Paul’s Cathedral but they couldn’t wait to get rid of her when she was alive.

The current hysteria against the European Union will pass. In the 1975 referendum Margaret Thatcher campaigned enthusiastically for the UK to stay in the Common Market. In those days only the National Front and the Communist Party were opposed to Europe. The popular press, with the exception of the Daily Express, supported our membership and the overwhelming yes vote in the referendum was a foregone conclusion.

It is beginning to dawn on the great British public that our economy is linked to the rest of the world and that the recession will last until America and Japan recover. They have also started to question the dire warnings that the EU is about to collapse. It has survived scares in Ireland, Portugal, Greece and Cyprus and potential disasters in Italy and Spain. The euro has maintained its parity with the dollar and continues to be the second most traded currency in the world.

Maggie’s apologists argue that she didn’t understand the concept of the European Union in 1975. Apparently, the shopkeeper’s daughter thought that the Common Market was a grander version of the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce.  

Eclipsed by Ukip

The far-right parties share the same objectives and the same conspiratorial mindset but they are divided by personalities and stuck with policies that were set in stone when the National Front was founded in 1967; stop immigration, start repatriation and get Britain out of Europe.  

The NF still have no representation after 46 years of campaigning. At their peak they had 20,000 members but they collapsed after the 1979 general election and have never recovered. In the 2010 general election their 17 candidates averaged 634 votes.

The British National Party has been fighting elections for over 30 years. In the 2010 general election their 338 candidates averaged 1,667 votes. They once boasted 14,000 members and scores of local councilors but those days are gone. Their leader Nick Griffin is a MEP for the North West.

The British Democratic Party is led by Kevin Scott. Andrew Brons was elected for the BNP as MEP for Yorkshire and Humber but now represents the BDP. Their policies are similar to the BNP but they claim that their party structure is more democratic.

All of them have been eclipsed by the UK Independence Party. Dave Cameron calls them: “a party of fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists,” and Ken Clarke dismisses them as “clowns” but they have captured the populist vote and hope to make an electoral breakthrough in 2015.

To achieve this they must to do better than their ill-fated predecessors. The billionaire financier James Goldsmith spent £20 million backing the Referendum Party in the 1997 general election. He put up 546 candidates and attracted 810,000 votes but failed to win a single seat and only averaged 2.6%.

At present Ukip has the support of the popular press and Nigel Farage is almost a permanent fixture on Question Time. They did very well in the Euro elections and look like winning council seats all over the country. But election campaigns cost a fortune and Nigel Farage will need the backing of his friends in the City of London. He has been talking to Rupert Murdoch and the American supporters of Ron Paul but he will struggle to compete with the big parties. In 2010 the Tories spent £16.7 million, Labour £8 million and the Lib Dems £4.8 million.

The traditional far-right parties accuse Ukip of diverting support from “genuine nationalists.” It’s difficult to imagine the genial Nigel Farage as a state agent but in the delusional world of political make-belief almost anything is possible. The “genuine nationalists” are already predicting that a future referendum will be rigged and warning that Dave Cameron and the Tories are secret EU supporters.

 

 

 

 

 

Nation Revisited # 102, April 2013

 Unexpected Help

We have lost our national triple ‘A’ credit rating and the economy is static but the forces of destiny may provide some unexpected help.

The corrosive influence of the Frankfurt School has run its course. Most of the left wing academics of the swinging sixties are dead and gone. Multiculturalism is still part of the national curriculum but the long-haired revolutionaries of days gone by have been replaced by tame little conservatives who are only interested in getting a job. One of the unintended consequences of austerity has been the restoration of middle class values. Today’s docile teachers and students even read the Daily Mail.

Half a century of campaigning against immigration has failed to stop it but market forces might do the trick. Plantation slavery was initiated by economic conditions and it was ended by them. European refugees flooding into America during the early 19^th century were cheaper to employ than black slaves who needed to be fed and housed. In the same way Third World workers in Europe and North America will be replaced by automation. Immigration is not a monstrous conspiracy by the “liberal elite” but an old-fashioned preference for cheap labour. Supply and demand will govern employment and population policies. The more technological that our society becomes the less we will need unskilled labour.

Flag-waving jingoism will not feed our booming population or pay our bills. The UK cannot stay apart from the world’s largest trading bloc; an economic union of half a billion souls stretching from the Atlantic to the Urals. If we ever get Dave Cameron’s long promised referendum we might quit the EU and join EFTA with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. But that would only be a temporary measure; eventually we will become Europeans. Ukip is capturing protest votes from the established parties but they can’t turn back the tide of history with policies that are nothing but nostalgic nonsense.

This newsletter is unashamedly nostalgic but we are not a political party. Only the middle aged can remember Enoch Powell or the Soviet Union. We should forget about “the good old days” when people enjoyed decent incomes and conditions. We must appeal to the youngsters who are trying to pay mortgages and fuel bills on frozen salaries. They are no different to the generation that fought the Battle of Britain and stormed the beaches of Normandy; all they need is leadership.   

The Ongoing Debate

I am grateful for the gift of copies of the League Review and the National Review dating back to the seventies. Their pages record the death struggle of Rhodesia and the relentless Third World invasion but the dominant theme is Europe. The current version of this magazine is the League Sentinel: http://www.leaguestgeorge.com

Following their short-lived collaboration in the National Socialist Movement John Tyndall pursued his leadership ambitions in the National Front and Colin Jordan devoted himself to writing and publishing.

Despite the failure of the Ottawa Conference of 1932 to unite Britain with the White Dominions through “Imperial Preference” John Tyndall believed in a resurrected Commonwealth and rejected union with Europe. Commenting on the editorial in issue 36 of the League Review in December 1981 he wrote:

“Those who would prefer us to have a close European tie rather than a White Commonwealth tie will claim that the dominions are no longer bound by automatic loyalty to Britain and will simply trade where their own interests dictate. To this I would answer – Yes! And those interests dictate that if Britain is willing to but their surpluses in return for their buying its surpluses, they should take up the offer.

Of the three options mentioned by you, therefore, a trading bloc of Britain and the White Commonwealth is the only one that corresponds to economic reality. This does not mean, however, that there would not be many areas of common interest between such a bloc and Western Europe in which the two could work together.”

John Tyndall’s insular policies still influence the nationalist parties today. Colin Jordan never supported the EU but he rejected narrow nationalism and stood for white solidarity; in a letter to the League Review in February 1983 he wrote:

“If we are to learn from the past, and to prevent any possibility of a repetition of such catastrophic folly (World War 2) in the future, we have to expand our vision beyond an insular nationalism. Feeling for soil, love of country in all the fullness of its meaning, a sense of the community of the folk, all of which is cherished and cited by the nationalists, and so rightly so, is not, as is their great mistake, to be exclusively equated with and restricted to the contemporary nation states. These states, Britain included, came about through the migrations and divisions of the white peoples, a family of related races, and now, if those white peoples are to have a future, we must embrace without delay a unity beyond and greater than those segmentary states in separation. This is not for one moment to deny or to neglect the most obvious fact that in Britain our most immediate and particular attachment is to our own island, and to the task of securing its salvation; but this not only does not conflict with a positive and practical recognition of an overall allegiance to the white cause world-wide, but absolutely requires it from the start. Britain cannot go it alone and win by herself in the world of today. Her only true hope lies in the triumph of a National Socialist world struggle of the white man.”

The divide between narrow nationalism and European solidarity is as wide as ever. Most members of the so-called far-right parties are deeply anti-EU but there are a few realists who keep quiet for fear of being shouted down by the hard-liners. They are primarily concerned with stopping Third World immigration and put up with the petty nationalist rhetoric for the sake of unity. In the next two years leading up to a possible referendum we will hear all the arguments for and against Europe; but the real decision is not about politics or economics, it’s a matter of faith.

Some of the League of St George magazines are nearly forty years old but their pages brought back many names that I remember, or have come to know; Ron Hargrave, Bill Whitbread, Oliver Gilbert, Bob Molesworth, Robert Stanton, Robert Edwards, Keith Thompson, Jerry Sibley and many others.

Then, as now, the UK economy was in chaos and our future in Europe was threatened. The Soviet Union has ceased to exist but apart from that nothing much has changed. We are still being overrun by Third World immigrants; misgoverned by corrupt politicians in the pockets of big business, and misinformed by the mass media. The crisis of capitalism long predicted by Oswald Mosley has come to pass. The Tories think that they can escape from reality by pulling up the drawbridge; but the inexorable rules of supply and demand dictate that a nation that owes more than £1 trillion and imports half of its food and oil cannot go it alone.

Economic Nationalism

North Korea now has atomic weapons and the means to deliver them. The “Juche” (self-sufficiency) regime has sacrificed the living standards of the people to develop its own nuclear and space programmes. Kim Jong-un took over the impoverished Asian nation of 23 million people on the death of his father Kim Jong-il - the Dear Leader, who followed his father Kim il-Sung - the Great Leader. He leads a bizarre hereditary dictatorship obsessed with flag-waving and crippled with paranoia. He is far from being a heroic figure with his bouffant hairstyle and stacked heels but there is a real danger that he might get carried away with his own belligerent propaganda.

Life is hard in North Korea but most citizens share their government’s antipathy to foreigners and are immensely proud of their 1.2 million strong armed forces and their modern weapons including the world’s largest submarine fleet. To encourage the workers factories belt out patriotic music on their public address systems and state television and radio extol the superiority of the Korean race.

American-led sanctions have rendered North Korea’s currency unconvertible and made international trade all but impossible. She is an example of what happens when a nation tries to go it alone against the world; a half starved bankrupt dictatorship kept in power by a massive army.

The last thing we need in the UK is a xenophobic regime like the Kim dynasty. We have an immigrant-swollen population of 63.2 million; we are running out of oil and we have not fed ourselves since the 18^th century. Our industrial output has started to recover but we need to increase our exports and we will not do that by erecting protectionist tariffs that are always reciprocated.  

If we took the lead in Europe, instead of trying to wreck it, we could revitalize our economy, deport criminals and illegal aliens and encourage the voluntary repatriation of non-European immigrants. With proper leadership the economic potential of half a billion Europeans would make anything possible.

But on our own we simply do not have the resources to fight colonial wars all over the world. We have wasted hundreds of lives in Afghanistan but the Taliban will probably march into Kabul as soon as NATO forces withdraw. William Hague’s interference in Libya unleashed a wave of terrorism in Africa and his current support for the rebels in Syria will have the same effect in the Middle East. The far-right wants to expand our armed forces but common sense demands that we restructure them for home defence and stop acting as the world’s policeman.

Dave Cameron is trying to outmaneuver Ukip but a Harris poll (Financial Times 18/02/13) puts the European issue in perspective. It showed a two thirds majority for quitting the EU but placed the issue at 14^th out of 15 priorities. The Tory Party is obsessed with Europe, gay marriage and House of Lords reform but most people are more concerned with health, education and the economy.

The last Labour government left us with a massive national debt that we are struggling to repay. The UK is in the same position as the EU, the USA and Japan. Our problems are the result of years of deficit spending and have nothing to do with Europe. We will eventually pay off our debts but we must stop pretending to be a world power and shut our doors to mass migration.

The Germans manage without a worldwide army, a fleet of aircraft carriers, and a £130 billion Trident missile system (The Guardian 18/09/09). They were wiped out twice in the 20^th century but they have rebuilt their country as the powerhouse of the EU. We are finally moving in the right direction by withdrawing the British Army of the Rhine. It was probably an accountant who realized that we had 20,000 troops stationed in Germany 68 years after the end of WW2 and 22 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Another Fake Quote

 

This one making the rounds of White nationalist, White Supremacist, etc. sites:
In 1922, the Bolshevik leader Selenkov stated in Moscow: "We must create a climate of anti-nationalism and anti-racialism amongst Whites. We must reduce patriotism and pride of race to meaningless abstractions and make racialism a dirty word." Not only that, but obviously Selenkov was Jewish. Or he was named Zelenkov. Or whatever. There never was any Bolshevik leader named Zelenkov/Selenkov, and for all I or others can tell, this is yet another fake quote. You can usually tell these fake quotes just be looking at them, because it seems like no sane prominent person would ever be caught dead saying something so outrageous. Also, fake quotes are usually manufactured by nationalists. They place the quotes in the mouths of politicians they don't like and make them say they are going to hatch some kind of conspiracy against the ethnic group or nation in question. (From Robert Lindsay in California who describes himself as a non-racist race realist and a leftist nationalist.)

I recently received an e-mail that was supposed to show a little boy in Iran having his arm run over by a car for stealing bread. An Internet search revealed it to be an Israeli fake that has been doing the rounds since 2005. The pictures are of a gypsy fairground show where a little boy’s arm is run over before he miraculously recovers and goes around with the hat to collect money from the audience. Similar shows are familiar throughout the Middle East.

Another bogus e-mail showed Muslims in America apparently celebrating the anniversary of 9/11. In fact they were innocently observing a Shia holiday that happened to fall on the same day.

 
And I have seen several copies of a letter that’s supposed to be from a doctor listing the ample benefits claimed by an unmarried mother. There are British and Australian versions of this forgery but the original was from America and the doctor in question was forced to admit that he had heard about it from a nurse and couldn’t personally verify it. In fact benefits are capped in most states and food stamps are usually issued instead of money.

The BNP used to quote from what it described as “the highly respected Epoch Times”. This is actually the newspaper of Falun Gong, a wacky Chinese religion that believes human beings can fly through brick walls.
 
There are more than enough genuine outrages in the world without resorting to fabrications that can easily be disproved. These bogus propaganda stunts rely on the naivety of recipients who pass them on. The golden rule must be not to pass on anything that’s suspect. Anybody writing articles for publication has a duty of care. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and we can all make mistakes but we must try to be as objective as possible. As the great Marcus Aurelius said: “If it’s not right don’t do it; and if it’s not true don’t say it.”

Retro Chic

Political designations are often inaccurate and confusing. The old East German communist dictatorship styled itself “The German Democratic Republic” but the regime was kept in power by the army and that was backed up by the Soviet Union. They called the DDR “democratic” to distinguish it from the National Socialist state that preceded it; and which it resembled in many ways. But the communists avoided the words “National Socialist” to describe the Third Reich. They preferred to call it a “fascist” regime to avoid any confusion with socialism.

The Fascists were an ex-serviceman’s movement that took over Italy in 1922 during the Great Depression following the First World War. They started off as monarchists but ended up as republicans. They were sprung from the same socialist roots as the communists but they became bitter enemies. The Italian movement was copied throughout Europe; in Germany it was infused with racism, in Spain and Portugal it was hijacked by Catholicism, in Romania and Hungary it was obsessed with territorial nationalism. And in Britain and Ireland it gravitated from right to left before being shut down by the Second World War.

The descendants of the pre-war movements have abandoned “fascism” because of its association with the horrors of the Second World War.  There was a very short-lived breakaway group from Mosley’s Union Movement in the early sixties when their South London branch under Keith Goodall styled themselves The National Union of Fascists and held meetings in Brixton Market. At the same time the Spearhead faction broke away from the original BNP under Colin Jordan to form the National Socialist Movement complete with Nazi flags and uniforms. Both attempts to resurrect fascism failed but Gary Raikes, the former leader of the Scottish BNP, is trying again with an Internet-based group called the New British Union.

Would-be respectable groups are distancing themselves from openly fascist movements but their electoral performances are not getting any better. Dave Jones got the average nationalist percentage in the Todmorden local election despite being photographed carrying a rifle with a swastika flag flying overhead. Most of the far-right groups are led by former make-belief Nazis. They may have put their well-polished jackboots in the back of the wardrobe but old photos of them posing for posterity are still circulating. We all do daft things when we are young but membership of the World Domination League doesn’t look good on your CV.

We live in exciting times where “retro” is the latest thing and outrage is its own reward: militant gays are calling themselves “queer” and black people are using the forbidden word “nigger.” Perhaps the beautiful Art Deco imagery of fascism and the heroic theatricality of the Nazis will soon dominate the busy stalls of Camden Market.

Internment without Trial

The right wing of the Tory Party wants the UK to quit the European Court of Human Rights. They object to “foreigners interfering with British justice” but the real reason is that the court is outside their control. Internment without trial is illegal under the terms of the European Convention – except in a state of war.  This get-out clause enabled the UK to round up suspected terrorists from 1956 to 1961 and again from 1971 to 1975. Opposition from the ECHR helped to end internment but there was no outcry in 1940 when Winston Churchill caged nearly two thousand British dissidents under Defence Regulation 18B. They were never charged with any crime and some of them were locked up until 1945. I will only write about those that I met in the original British National Party and later in Union Movement.

Tony Gittens was a leading member of the Imperial Fascist League. He was detained under 18B in 1940. He effectively ran the post-war National Workers Movement from 1948 to 1950. He took over Gothic Ripples when Arnold Leese died in 1956. And he kept the Britons Publishing Co going until his own death in 1973. According to Richard Thurlow’s 1987 book Fascism in Britain, he was AK Chesterton’s intelligence agent in the early days of the National Front.

Phil Ridout led the ‘tough squad’ that defended IFL meetings in the East End. He was credited with popularizing the fascist greeting “PJ” – short for “Perish Judah.” In 1937 he was fined for using insulting language at an IFL meeting by referring to the League of Nations as “the League of Nathans.” Oliver Gilbert who was the first BUF member to be detained described him as the IFL’s best speaker. He was interned in 1940. In 1951 he founded the British Empire Party and in the general election of that year Trevor Davies their candidate for Ogmore, South Wales, won 1,643 votes, 3.4%. In the sixties Phil worked for an aircraft company with fellow 18B detainee Ron Hargrave and the much younger Terry Savage. He was a popular speaker for the original BNP. I remember him as a kindly pensioner, John Bean describes him as “a pleasant old boy,” and Robert Lyons from the USA remembers him as “an English gentleman.”

Ronald Creasy (1909-2004) was a Suffolk farmer and landowner who was invited to join a police squad during the 1926 General Strike. But he sided with the strikers and refused to act as a strike-breaker. He joined the BUF in 1938 and was elected to Eye Borough Council. He was detained in 1940. After the war he became an enthusiastic Mosley supporter and often spoke at UM dinners.

Robert Wilkinson was another victim of 18B. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak at a Friends of Mosley gathering a few years ago. He was in his nineties but he made an impassioned speech comparing the situation today to the 1930s. He said that the capitalist racket was just the same and that the solution was just the same.

Jeffrey Hamm was arrested in the Falkland Islands and imprisoned in the rusting hulk of a ship before being taken to a prisoner-of-war camp in South Africa. He was instrumental in founding UM in 1948 and kept the movement going following Oswald Mosley’s retirement in 1973.

Robert Row, who went on to be editor of Union and Action was also interned in 1940. He wrote: “There was no charge or trial, banana republic justice replaced these, trial by jury was scrapped. So was Habeas Corpus; so much for the honour of British politicians.”

Just fewer than 2,000 anti-war campaigners were detained under Defence Regulation 18B of which 1,054 were BUF members including Oswald Mosley and Diana Mitford. (Figures are taken from In the Highest Degree Odious by AWB Simpson and the Friends of Mosley)

 Elected Councillors - by “Union” 

The British Union led by Oswald Mosley had 40,000 members and was the biggest patriotic movement in British political history. In fact Mosley’s pre-war and post-war movements both had elected representatives.

Captain Bentinck-Budd elected to Worthing Council in 1934 as a BUF councillor.
Commander Charles Hudson elected to Bognor Regis Council in the 1930s as a BUF councillor.
Sydney Crossland elected as a BUF councillor in Sussex in the 1930s.
Ronald Creasy elected to Eye Borough Council Suffolk as a BUF councillor in 1938.
FB Price-Heywood elected to Grasmere Council Cumbria in 1953 for Union Movement.
Robert Saunders of Union Movement elected to Dorset County Council post-war.
Harold Soref a member of British Union elected as Conservative MP for Ormskirk in 1970.
Major Jocelyn Lucas a BUF member in 1935 elected as Conservative MP for Portsmouth South in 1939.

The National Front had an elected councillor in Northern Ireland and 2 Conservative councillors joined the NF in the 1970s in Wandsworth. Recently they briefly had a parish councillor and a local councillor who joined from the BNP. The National Party elected 2 councillors in Blackburn, Lancashire in 1976 and recently the England First Party elected 2 councillors also in Lancashire.

 Granted the BNP had more councillors and 2 MEPs, but how successful would a Mosley-inspired party be if were still active today?

The Special Relationship

Britain is very much the junior partner in the “special relationship” with America. The last time we did anything on our own behalf was the Falklands War but even that was with Ronald Reagan’s permission. Harold Wilson managed to keep us out of the Vietnam War by pleading poverty but Tony Blair sent the RAF to bomb Serbia into submission to NATO and we fought in Iraq and Afghanistan and got involved in the civil wars in Libya, Mali and Syria.

Generals like wars because they can try out their latest weapons and they are good for recruiting. Young men drive cars and motorcycles too fast and drink to excess because they think they are indestructible. But unscrupulous politicians exploit their bravery by sending them to do NATO’s bidding. This has got nothing to do with patriotism on the part of the politicians. Warmongers like William Hague make sure that they keep well away from the battlefield.

Since the end of the Cold War there has been no direction to American foreign policy. They are propping up the apartheid regime in Israel but trying to bring down the popular government of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. And they are backing al-Qaeda in Syria but fighting them in Mali. America trained and financed the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan to fight the Soviets but they are now backing the drug-running dictator Hamid Karzai.  They first supported and then deposed the brutal regimes of Said Barre in Somalia and Haile Marian Mengistu in Ethiopia. At present they are paying Ethiopia and Kenya to occupy Somalia and the navies of the world are patrolling the Indian Ocean to suppress piracy resulting from thirty years of compulsive American meddling.  

Foreign affairs experts cannot decipher American policy. Instead of bringing stability it has left a trail of destruction around the world. Iraq is a typical example of a country systematically destroyed for no good reason. We now know for certain that there were no “weapons of mass destruction.” But their endless wars have benefited the defence industry on both sides of the Atlantic. Pilotless drones, missiles, tanks, guns, ships, aircraft and satellite surveillance systems cost billions of dollars. The Pentagon has ordered 2,457 Lockheed Martin F-35 fighters at a cost of $400 billion.

It’s no coincidence that the boards of the defence contractors are staffed with retired admirals and generals. War is good for business and despite the crocodile tears of the politicians they couldn’t care less about the lives of our soldiers. They are “collateral damage” in the so-called “war on terror”; a small price to pay for guaranteed dividends.

Micawber’s Advice

We all remember Mr Micawber’s advice to young David Copperfield: “Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.”

Nations are no different to people; if they don’t live within their means they are soon in trouble. Borrowing against expected future earnings can only be a temporary measure.

Portugal had a balanced budget under the Estado Novo from 1926 to 1974. The country was poor but the government didn’t have to please the voters because elections were a formality. This system lasted until the cost of fighting colonial wars in Africa emptied the Portuguese treasury and brought down the Salazar regime.

Authoritarian states do not have to court popularity but parliamentary democracies have to borrow the money to keep half the population on the dole. This is what has bankrupted the industrialized world. If any government tries to balance the budget by slashing spending and raising taxation it will be thrown out at the next election. That’s what will probably happen to the governing coalition in the UK; and every other administration that tries to do the right thing.

The system survived because the world economy was growing. People were earning more money and buying more cars, houses, clothes, shoes, computers, health care, pensions, education, holidays and everything else. But now the worldwide boom has run out of steam and people do not have the money to spend. Therefore the taxes on company profits, sales and wages have slumped disastrously. And governments can’t cover their deficits because the banks and pension funds that buy their bonds have also run out of money.

This will correct itself. Governments will eventually be forced to stop spending and the social systems paid for with borrowed money will collapse. The mob will riot in the streets as they have already started to do in Greece and Spain. But no government, left right or centre will be able to spend money that it doesn’t have and cannot borrow. The riot cops will be kept busy as liberal democracy is overtaken by economic reality.

A system based on head counting and the myth of an ever expanding economy will be replaced by something more tangible. Micawber’s Law which says that you can’t spend more than you earn will prevail and the practice of bribing the electorate with welfare cheques will come to an end. But in the meantime we have to work with what we’ve got, and our priority must be to stop trying to feed, house and medicate half the world. We will never stop mass migration while our welfare system acts like a magnet for the poor and dispossessed of the entire world.

No change at the BBC

Last year Chris Pattern was appointed chairman of the BBC following a series of managerial disasters at the state-owned corporation. The British government has always pretended that the BBC is “independent” but like so much of British policy this is nonsense. The BBC is and always has been the state’s mouthpiece.

In 1939 the Duke of Windsor spoke for the first time since his abdication in 1936. His speech on American radio was broadcast by world-wide link-up to 400 million people but it was banned in Britain by the BBC.

“I speak to no one but myself and without the previous knowledge of any Government. I speak simply as a soldier of the last war whose most earnest prayer it is that such a cruel and destructive madness shall never again overtake mankind. I break my self-imposed silence now only because of the manifest danger that we may all be drawing nearer a repetition of the grim events which happened a quarter of a century ago.

You and I know that Peace is a matter far too vital for our happiness to be treated as a political question. We also know that in modern warfare victory will only lie with the powers of evil.

Whatever political disagreements may have arisen in the past the supreme aim of averting war will, I feel confident, impel all those in power to renew their endeavors to bring about a peaceful settlement.

Among measures which I feel might well be adopted to this end is the discouragement of all that harmful propaganda which from whatever source it comes, tends to poison the minds of the people of the world. I personally deplore, for example, the use of such terms as ‘encirclement’ and ‘aggression’. It is in a larger spirit than that of personal or purely national interests that peace should be pursued. The statesmen who set themselves to restore international security and confidence must act as good citizens of the world and not only as good Frenchmen, Italians, Germans, Americans or Britons.

In the name of all those who fell in the last War I urge all political leaders to be resolute in their discharge of this mission. The world has not yet recovered from the effects of the last carnage. The greatest success that any Government could achieve for its own national policy would be nothing in comparison with the triumph of having contributed to save humanity from the terrible threat which threatens it today.”

In 1939 the BBC denied the British people the chance to hear the Duke’s powerful plea for peace. Seventy-four years later we have satellite TV and the Internet but if we relied on the BBC we would still be kept in the dark. 

Running out of Time

When young Roger Clare joined Oswald Mosley’s Union Movement in the late fifties he asked the North London organizer Fred Shepherd: “how long will it be until we come to power?” Fred thought about it for a while and answered: “about six months”.

Nearly sixty years later we are still anxious to come to power before any more harm is done. The Empire has gone, except for Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands and a disputed strip of Antarctica. The Soviet Union has disappeared into the dustbin of history – to misquote Karl Marx. And the influx of blacks and Asians that started with the arrival of MV Empire Windrush in 1948 now threatens to overwhelm Europe.

The crisis of global capitalism predicted by Oswald Mosley has come to pass. Demonstrators in Madrid and Athens have thrown a few petrol bombs and the cops have shot a few students but in most of Europe, and especially in the UK, people are   going about their business as usual. There is still enough money sloshing around to keep the system going and the state has got us all on CCTV. The plutocrats will not make the same mistakes that led to the French and Russian revolutions; they will let us have just enough money to sustain the system.

The fear of the communists taking over has been replaced by nightmare of millions of black and Asian economic refugees flooding into the country. The popular press pays lip service to immigration control but they are more interested in undermining the European Union. The populist right is playing on the Muslim threat but the religion of the invaders is irrelevant. The feral gangs terrorizing parts of London are nominally Christian and Muslim shopkeepers were amongst their victims in the recent riots.

The races of the world have been scrambled and we must get used to thinking in terms of collective identity instead of the old national designations. The criminal lunatics who have been in charge of the UK for the past hundred years have done a thorough job of destroying everything we were proud of. Two world wars, half a dozen recessions, deficit spending and fifty years of mass migration have laid waste to the UK and the most of the Western nations.

But instead of feeling sorry for ourselves and quoting manic-depressive philosophers of the past we must look on the bright side. There are still a billion Europeans in the world who are capable of anything given the motivation. Despite the disparity in populations we have the ability and the technology to recover our territory. From the 16^th century the European powers took over most of the world in an unparalleled burst of energy. That era has passed into history but we are still the same people with the same courage and determination. We have mastered science and technology and we are destined to follow Yuri Gagarin and Alan Sheppard in the conquest of space. The re-conquest of Europe will be entirely possible.

NR Five Questions

We asked our readers five questions; Who are you? What do you believe in? If you could direct government policy what would you do? What are you proud of and what do you regret? How would you like to be remembered? So far we have heard from John Bean, Robert Edwards, Bill Baillie, Michael Woodbridge, Eddy Morrison, Robert Best, Arlette Baldacchino and Alexander Morano. We would like to hear from more readers. Please reply to: nationrevisited@gmail.com

Who are you?

I am Rufus. I write the News From Atlantis blog, and other associated ones. I have been active in anti-Internationalist circles for more of my life than I haven't. During that time I have participated in the electoral process, although I no longer have any faith in that particular avenue. I now focus upon networking and helping others to get the message across. To this end, I have contacts across every continent. Beginning from a rather blinkered point of view, I am free of any alien-imposed supremacist illusions, and now seek a peaceful restoration of national freedom to every people of every origin, worldwide.

What do you believe in?

In a nutshell - Freedom. I believe in the right of the individual to grow and develop in the security of a stable society. I believe that the best way for people to reach their full potential is for them to be allowed to live in a natural organic society. The natural society is one in which there is a shared culture, based on a shared ethnicity. The multi-culti anti-society we have had foisted upon us by the materialists who rule over us is the exact opposite of all which is healthy. I believe that Internationalism is the death knell of humanity, and that it has to be halted if we are to avert a bland global coca cola state in which the people are subservient to commercial interests. We are at a crossroads in history. If things progress as they have been doing, we will find ourselves in a global slave state, devoid of culture and anything of worth. It is our duty to the generations who come after us to end the internationalist agenda of those who misrule us, and to create a new world of free nations, living peacefully side by side but absolutely independent of one another; culturally, ethnically and in terms of sovereignty.

If you could direct government policy what would you do?

I would immediately end all involvement in NATO, the UN and all other internationalist bodies. I would nationalize the economy, forbidding anyone who does not belong to the nation (the indigenous nation) to own any part of it. By Nationalize, I mean end all foreign and international ownership; I in no way support the Marxist principle which is but Capitalism by a different route. All funds presently concentrated on the military occupation and exploitation of other lands would be redirected into helping the non-indigenous peoples presently living amongst us to return to their homelands. The crimes of the Establishment must be addressed, and our first priority must be to ensure that those who have been wrenched from their own countries by economic factors (contrived poverty at home, and the lure of a better life here) can return without any further economic hardship. The financial aid to the countries of origin of those who are in our lands but should not be, would not only be the morally right thing to do, but it would ensure that the goodwill of our nation would be taken with the returned migrants, thus preventing any feelings of animosity amongst those we restore to their natural homelands. I want to end the entire capitalist system of exploitation as far as my own country is concerned, and would hope that by providing an example of how a peaceful solution to our woes can be achieved, other nations would rise up to free themselves in a similar manner.

What are you proud of and what do you regret?

That's a tricky one. Pride and Regret can both be damaging in their own ways. I do have regrets, but I try not to dwell on them. Certainly if I could live my life over again, I would hope to be more self reliant, and not to have fallen into the trap of following leaders for the period in which I did so. However, that experience helped to mould me, as has every experience, both good and bad, so all-in-all everything I have had to go through has been for a reason - however hard some of the experiences have been. I am proud of my family, and of my friends and comrades - there is nothing more important in life than people, and I have been fortunate to have had to opportunity to share my life with people who have been a pleasure to be around, and who have challenged me at every step. My love of my kin is the basis of my politics, and the reason I fight against those who seek to reduce humanity to self-obsessed producer-consumers.

 How would you like to be remembered?

Does it really matter if we are remembered? If I can leave the world in the knowledge that I have helped to awaken people to our plight, I will be happy. I hope that people who I have been involved with on any level will take the battle forward and see the importance of action. If I am to be remembered, it is as a part of a movement for freedom - and hopefully a victorious one.

Thank you very much for interviewing me. It has been a pleasure to be asked my opinions. I hope that people who read this will see the importance of taking the battle to the real world and doing whatever they can to halt the progress of our enemies. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something - and if there are enough of us, those small actions will build into an unstoppable force. Victory is achievable if we sense our own strength, and turn ideas into action.

Gun Control: an American perspective from Robert Lyons

I enjoyed your #100 Nation Revisited. Thanks for sending. About the only comment I can make is on your article about gun control. A countryman of yours, Piers Morgan, is beating the bushes here to have the US population disarmed with laws similar to what the UK has today. As you pointed out the love of the firearm in this country is very much steeped in our country’s history and is a very complicated issue so I will comment only on my observations.

I remember the stories US soldiers brought back about arriving in the UK during WWII and being amazed that most British recruits into the military had never seen a firearm much less fired one whereas most US soldiers were country boys totally experienced in the handling of such weapons long before they joined up to fight, so training them was easy compared to their British counterparts.

In my youth I was raised on a farm, weapons of all kinds were part of our daily existence. From a very early age we hunted small game, mostly squirrel and rabbit as well as deer, wild game was a large part of what we ate back in those days. My uncles also ran trap lines for the pelts of muskrat and the occasional mink to make a little extra income and I would help.

We also hunted nuisance or varmint animals both for sport and to protect crops, those animals in this category would include raccoon, fox and groundhog. The coon hunt at night through the woods with a pack of coon dogs was a sight to remember. Many times whilst plowing I would take along a rifle to shoot groundhogs to help with the boredom. Those were the good ole days.

Back in those days we never gave guns a second thought, they were readily available, bought in any Sears or Montgomery Wards catalog. Weapons of any type could be purchased at the local hardware store along with dynamite if you needed to blow stumps on your farm. Shooting accidents happened back in those days but they were few and far between because firearms were a tool and a way of life.

Sadly times have changed; our society is now urban and with urbanization came the liberalization of society, politics and crime. The little farms are a thing of the past, it’s all agribusiness now. Firearms are still respected by the law abiding citizens who grew up in a more gentler and kinder time and those of us who can still love to handle our weapons and still love to shoot for either sport, hunting and for protection. In this day and time protection with the crime rate out of control in the US can’t be emphasized enough.

As your article pointed out there has been many new gun laws recently introduced due to the hysteria caused by the unfortunate recent shooting incidents. Who are these gun laws aimed at? They’re aimed at the law abiding citizens and not the criminal, if half the laws already on the books aimed at the criminal were enforced gun crimes would be way down. Unfortunately in the end it will be the good citizens who will be disarmed like in the UK and the criminal will still have a source of easily obtainable weapons.

I remember back when I was a teenager we would hear of kids making pistols called “zip guns”, a very effective little weapon created from the frame of a cap pistol joined to a certain model car aerial, easily broken off for a barrel and wrapped with heavy rubber bands, this homemade creation would fire a .22 caliber shot very effectively at close range. Nowadays with the easy access of drug money and black market weapons kids don’t have to be creative anymore to kill one another or rob a liquor store or gas station.

During WWII in the occupied countries various intelligence agencies passed out diagrams to resistance groups detailing the creation of a very effective little Tommy gun which looked like the old WWII “grease gun.” All it took to create this fully automatic .45 caliber weapon was some skill with a lathe and about $50 in parts.

The American people have lost and are losing so many of their Constitutional rights it seems there’s little recourse but try to maintain what we have in a seemingly hopeless battle with the government. Our law abiding citizens will one day wake up and find their 2^nd Amendment rights also gone. When and if criminals are ever denied weapons, if forced to do so they can easily create them.

Immigration

The far-right believes in a conspiracy to destroy the white race but the real reason is the capitalist love of cheap labour. The government promotes multi-racialism but the driving force behind immigration is big business. Britain brought in immigration controls in 1968, 1972, 1981 and 2010 but they are still flooding in and nobody knows how many illegal immigrants are here because we don’t have identity cards. Laurel Grove told the truth about immigration on The Independent website 11/02/13.  

§+

The largest immigrant groups in Britain are Indians and Pakistanis. There are many more of them than there are Romanians and Bulgarians. The government already has powers to control their entry, which it does not exercise because of pressure from business interests in favour of cheap labour. The problems the UK has with immigration are not in the main the fault of the immigrants themselves but of our own governments, both Tory and Labour, and their sponsors. How often have you heard 'business representatives' claim they "just cannot find the skills they need" in the local labour market, despite millions of unemployed? When politicians 'talk tough' on immigration you can be sure there is still a back door left wide open.
