The title’s a bit controversial isn’t it?

I’m going to be as transparent as I can in this post but I want to stress that I have no intention to cause offence or harm. Please keep this is mind as you read on.

OK here goes…

Recently I attended the National Union of Teachers annual conference in Liverpool. One of the fringe meetings was about anti fascism.

In that meeting I learned that, this May 6th 2010, the BNP are likely to get voted into a position of legitimate power in Barking and Dagenham.

I also heard that a 12 year old child who used spray paint to deface a poster of a member of the BNP has been arrested for inciting racial hatred. Yes, what he did was wrong. He should not have done it. BUT inciting racial hatred? What are the BNP doing? This raised questions amongst the crowd, about members of the police being supporters of the fascist movement themselves.

I also heard that the EDL campaigned in Dudley. This was on Saturday 3rd April 2010. They SAID that their campaign was against Muslims alone but that was not true. Word even got out to the local residents, that they were protesting against Muslims wanting another mosque. It was not true. Those who didn’t want to support this so called need for Muslims in Dudley to have a new mosque; didn’t attend to protest against the EDL. Fair enough. They may not be religious, they may be busy, they may not be Muslim. Whatever the reason, it doesn’t sound like a huge reason to protest over. But that wasn’t true!

The same thing happened in Harrow. The EDL was going to protest and the word got out that it was all about another Mosque. It went ahead and it wasn’t pretty. I met Tony McNulty on Saturday 10th April 2010. He was knocking on doors. Pre – election campaigning. I asked him about the EDL in Dudley and Harrow. He said he knew that people were told that it was an anti Islamic campaign and he did his best to spread the word that it was fascism. Pure and simple!

Unfortunately this strategy to divide and rule is working! Anti fascists should be sticking together. ‘Brown’ people should be sticking together but they’re not! They’re deluded. Misinformed. Misled.

There’s a perception, in some communities, that Muslims get what they want. “They get funding for faith schools and places of worship but other faith communities don’t get that!” Thus there’s some jealousy and paranoia about their ‘power’ re getting what they want. Of course the other side of this is that other faith communities are less active and don’t fight as hard for what they want.  If this is the case, surely the achievements of the Muslim activists is something that deserves praise and admiration, rather than, criticism.

So the fascist movement is more in our face, stronger, they’re working their magic on the deluded and creating divisions through the mass spreading of lies.

OK. So what?

Well, the ‘so what’ is because once they win the votes of the deluded, they’ll widen their target to include other faith groups, other races, other ‘brown’ people and they wont rest until they drive everyone out.

This sounds ridiculous and fearful and you may well be right but this is their vision.

Whether their vision comes true or not is in our hands as much as theirs!

Other bits and bobs that may make a difference: –

  • A member of staff invited a member of the BNP to come and talk to the children in the school they worked in. Why would this ever be OK?
  • The head teacher at a Latchford primary school has slammed reports that one of the school’s governors will be running as a BNP parliamentary candidate. How is this OK?

If you held views so strong that you ran for the BNP how would you keep your personal/political and professional life separate? By professional I mean your role as a governor. How would your views not impact the decisions you made about the school re staffing, children, complaints etc?

So it is real.

What are you going to do about it?

Earlier I said “Whether their vision comes true or not is in our hands as much as theirs!”

I know that many people have lost faith in the Government. Lethargy has existed for years which has resulted in many of us not voting. Some don’t vote because they feel they don’t know enough to make an informed decision. Others wont vote because they feel their vote and what they voted for, doesn’t mean anything if & when the group gets into power. It’s all valid but if you agree that you don’t want members of the fascist party in power; then use your vote STRATEGICALLY and stop them getting in!

Heena,

you’re absolutely right about the power of the vote; whatever reason any person has not to vote (not enough information, disillusionment) surely the one reason to vote is to prevent power getting in the hands of those who *may* mean you harm.

    Heena Modi · April 13, 2010 at 11:17 am

    Thanks Chandesh
    Agreed for sure! 🙂

In the case of the children being lectured by a BNP candidate, it depends how old they are. Any age from early teens upwards would be capable of seeing through the BNP’s moronic drivel. Think of it in the same way that we teach children about Stalin and Hitler.

As for the rest – grow up. You’re falling for the classic BNP trap of trying to engage them on their own ground and talking about race and skin colour. That just plays straight into their hands. To defeat their ideas everyone in the UK needs to unite under the one thing that brings us together – being British. Not race, not country of origin, not religion. All of those groupings are chinks in our armour that the BNP and others of that ilk can exploit. They prosper by offering their version of a unified country. If we get together and beat them to it by declaring ourselves as British (note: not British Muslim/Jew/Hindu/etc etc. Just plain British), they’ll have nothing to base their claims on.

Sadly, too many religious and “cultural” group leaders would rather drink cat diarrhoea than lose their overinflated status as a “minority” if we came together as I suggest. They’ll keep on shouting about non-issues to keep their particular groups in the headlines, pissing off the rest of us, and keeping us all divided until a civil war finally breaks out. C’est la vie.

    I agree about the age of the children in some ways. However, the others are historical figures. Not sure if chn are mature enough to cope with hearing about this whilst in the present. I know chn are much more capable than often given credit for but at the same time…I’m not sure 🙁

    Re uniting. I agree totally!

    Thanks for commenting 🙂

Hi Heena,

Marksman is right. The only way to beat the BNP is to eliminate the difference they claim to have between them and the rest of the British public – this eradicates the need for a BNP and thereafter any persistence to differentiate is pure fascism.

james · July 19, 2010 at 9:39 am

You will never distroy the BNP, like you and your bloody kind distroyed Enock Powell, one of the giants, of british politics, I just love it when you refer to us as nazis fasicists, stupidity is the most desirible quality in ones enemys,you have know idea, do you as to the true nature of what you are dealing with.You fall over yourselves to prove how stupid you are vire , your endless moralising, and emotive arguements, most people on this planet, 90% function like you, we dont we believe only in MATHS,10% of people, it is the only, real truth. Yes we are ras–ic , we subject race to ic the law of numbers, this is beyond, your stupid tiny minds, we believe in balance only,
ect blacks with blue eyes blonde hair 50 eye colours 50 hair colours, the beleave that differences to a group, is more powerful than conformity,ect black nazis, islamic nazis asian chinese nazis, left wing nazis, see we can really see you ,for what you are ,rather than your endless verble shite.ANYWAY HAVE A NICE DAY.

I’d reply James, if I could understand what you are on about.

Tony · July 20, 2010 at 9:12 pm

We dont need to bother. Your kind of people always self destruct. Think of your mate Oswald Mosley in the 1930’s What happened to him ? How did he end up ? Sad and lonely with no platform. Then there was Tyndall who could’nt organise his own National Front. He lost power and the NF ended up fighting amongst yourselves resulting in the BNP, combat 18 and various other misfits. Oh and by the way all those groups were heavily infiltrated by MI5, Special Branch,Searchlight, bbc journalists and every other tom dick and harry. Then of course you have Nick Griffin who manages to get done for inciting racial hatred and videotaped making jokes about gassing jews as well as photographed meeting the US KKK while talking about ‘British’ Values. Then you use a Spitfire in your publicity about wartime ‘British’ values only to discover the aircraft used was flown by a Polish pilot! On top of that you get your ass kicked in white working class Barking by an unpopular Labour MP.

well said, Tony.
And James, your views are always welcome. Just have the decency of NOT murdering the English language when you type – you obviously have the IQ of a retarded baboon. Us Indians take great pride in speaking and writing the Queen’s English correctly. Maybe you red-necks should do the same.
Much obliged…

Miikkeey · July 20, 2010 at 11:44 pm

Well said Tony.
I think James you need to go back to school as your So called mother language so miserably poor so that us people as you call us can teach you a thing or two
Tony, do you ever go to other country for a holiday? if so then you are two faced as you want to love your country and yet you spend your money in other country, now that is not like British is it

Dave · July 21, 2010 at 12:39 pm

James

“stupidity is the most desirible quality in ones enemys,you have know idea”

Know meaning knowledge? Whereas you have NO idea 🙂

I’d criticise the rest of your rant but I couldn’t get a Fool->English translation off Babelfish.

    Heena Modi · July 21, 2010 at 8:06 pm

    Thank you SO much for your comments and replies, in particular, to what James wrote.

    A friend’s reminded me of something and my conscience is pricking me. Hence my comment below.

    James may have a special need of some sort whether it be dyslexia or something else or he may not. We should not stoop to a low level and cuss his language but, rather, debate the content itself.
    How does that sound?
    I must say I didn’t think this before. I was cross about his comment and the implications and direct statements within it. However, we don’t have to get personal and degrade James do we?

    Instead, can we directly comment on how James refers to the races that are not Caucasian, ‘our’ rights etc etc etc?

james · July 27, 2010 at 2:28 am

YOU fools, you think your great muti- what everism ,will last,trying to be all things to all men, the british donkey has fallen of the bridge, and is drowning. Ledge, means numbers, old english,thus ledgers as in book keeping. Think about it,MATTER +MIND = MATHS , the only truth, lets see if you have the brains, to understand.HAVE A NICE DAY , PERSONAL ABUSE IS NOT MATHS, CHILDREN.

james · August 16, 2012 at 2:22 am

Your right, I may have a problems with the english tough, as I was bashed as a 5 year old child , vir a drug addicted, teenage brother,thus why I concentrate, on maths, my strenght, I have a GREAT adversion to, kaos, the future of, what use to be a great nation, in a future racial, religous WAR,? sorry for the spelling.

    Heena Modi · August 31, 2012 at 5:48 pm

    I am sorry for what you had to endure. However, we can’t tarnish everyone with the same brush right?
    I know plenty of people who are Caucasian and not racist but I think I know more people who have brown skin who are racist towards many other races. 🙁
