Labour & Lib-Dems veto
BNP’s 0% council tax rise
T HE British National Party group
on Burnley Council proposed a
“No rise in council tax” motion at
the annual budget meeting.
BNP group leader Sharon Wilkinson,
explained the motion to the chamber:
“We shall use the money from the
Area Based Grants which this Council
has discretion to use to support rev-
enue spending. With £3 million in the
pot we want to see this money used
for the benefit of all the people in the
Borough and this can be done by not
increasing their council tax.
“Such a move would show our com-
mitment to the people who elected us
to represent them as they face these
difficult times.

Proud to PROTECT
the British people
P ROTECTIONISM just means
imposing tariffs on the imports
that put British workers on the dole,
and banning multinationals like
Total Oil from bringing in foreign
labour to undercut British workers
in their own country.
It’s about protecting our country’s
economy from the volatile global
economy and making Britain, as
far as possible, self-sufficient in
what its people need. It’s the only
way to really secure British jobs
KEPT SAFE: That’s protectionism.
BNP MAKING THE NEWS
“The British National Party proposes
a 0% increase in council tax.”
But the Liberal Democrat controlled
council would have none of it and
demanded a whopping 4.9% increase
in council tax from the cash strapped
residents of Burnley and then rubbed
salt in the wound by refusing to dis-
cuss the BNP’s 0% alternative.
The opposition invoked a little used
Burnley Council procedural rule that
allows for the debate to be closed
forthwith. The Lib-Dems got the
required majority vote to silence the
BNP thanks to the Labour group who
voted with them to support the closure
motion, denying the pople of Burnley
any chance of a zero council tax rise.
for British workers.
Protectionism saves jobs and keep
industry working. It will provide
the lifeboat to keep the nation afloat
after we abandon the sinking ship of
globalised international trade.
Britain is in the mess it is in today
because Labour and the Tories signed
our country up to a global economy,
and tangled us up in a web of interna-
tional trade and financial speculation
that is dragging us and everyone else
to our doom.
A self-sufficient Britain with a pro-
tected economy, wouldn’t have been
effected when American banks lent
out 120% mortgages to people who
could never pay it back. In a protected
economy, British workers and their
families would be kept safe from Wall
Street sharks swindling each other in
pyramid schemes.
It’s globalisation, not protectionism,
that is responsible for the current
recession.
The only way forward for Britain is
economic independence and a policy
that protects our nation’s industry,
farming and economy thus keeping
our jobs and our families’ livelihoods
safe and secure.
The British National Party is very
proud to be called protectionist,
because that is what our Party is all
about - protecting British people!

S WANLEY was Labour’s last
stronghold in Tory-dominated
Sevenoaks, in Kent.
When the election was called for Feb-

targeted the ward with their campaign
teams, each confident of success.
But in the end it was the British
National Party, contesting the ward
for the very first time, that took the
honours by coming from nowhere to
snatch victory by 76 votes.
It is a major breakthrough for the BNP
as it is the Party’s first victory south of
the River Thames.
Paul Golding and his team fought a

NCOMPASSING a huge and varied chunk of
middle England, the West Midlands Euro Con-
stituency was the closest of any at the last Euro-
pean elections to returning a British National Party
Member in the European Parliament.
Just 24,000 votes on top of the 108,000 accumulated
would have sent lead candidate Simon Darby, to
Strasbourg on a night that saw massive support for
the Party in several key areas.
This time around, having lost a seat due to the expansion
of the EU, all eyes will be on the sixth seat which should
be taken with a vote share of around 11.5%.
With heavy votes predicted from BNP strongholds in the
industrial and urbanised parts of the region together with
support kicking in from new areas of growth, this region
would have been seen as one of the best chances of
BNP success even without the economic catastrophe
now unfolding throughout the area.
With the British jobs for British workers dispute still sim-
mering away and with the region feeling the effects of
mass immigration more than most, June 4th in the West
Midlands will be more of a referendum on British iden-
tity itself rather than a routine exercise in Eurocracy.
supporters actually went and voted.
There was an above-average turnout
at the polling booths on the crucial
day and by lunchtime it was evident
that one of the safest Labour seats in
Kent was about to fall to the British
National Party
Swanley had been a solid Labour seat
for 40 years but voters wanted change
and welcomed the BNP with open
arms.
“People said they were sick of being
treated like second-class citizens in
their own country. Foreign workers
are given British jobs and British fam-
ilies are being shunted to the back of
the queue for council houses because
of asylum seekers and immigrants.
When we explained the policies of the
BNP, we found that the vast majority
supported us,” Paul Golding briefed
journalists at the count.

Paul, who took the St Mary’s Ward
seat by securing 41 per cent of the
vote, didn’t waste any time in getting
down to work. The following week
he attended the Tory-run council’s
budget meeting.
“Although I am the only BNP council-
lor, one is better than none at all. When
going through the budget I pinpointed
several proposals that would hurt the

to them. If I wasn’t there I wouldn’t be

INCREDIBLE EFFORT: Rosalind and Nick Griffin - the BNP faced a huge opposition campaign yet still increased its vote.

O N Thursday February 5th,
889 British people in the
Hyde Newton ward of Tameside
Metropolitan Borough Council
voted for the British National
Party - that’s one-in-three of
those who went to the polls.
It was an incredible effort in the face
of the huge anti-BNP campaign that
took place in the ward, and brave
BNP candidate Ros Gauci, even
managed to increase the Party’s
share of the vote by two percentage
points despite the onslaught.
Five different anti-BNP leaflets were
put out - a total of 27,500 leaflets.
Labour, the Tories and the Liberal
Democrats all worked together against
the BNP, telling voters on the doorstep
to vote for any candidate other than
Ros Gauci. Political pundits are in
agreement that it was the most intense
campaign ever mounted against a BNP
candidate in a local council election,

ward for North West Leices-

Labour and the Conservatives
bringing in their national campaign
teams for the vital marginal ward.
So for BNP candidate Roy Harban,
to take a significant 28% vote share
was a very credible performance
especially in the face of such
intense campaigns from the two
main parties. The Lib-Dems saw its
vote collapse to under 5% in a ward

For North West Leicestershire BNP,

“BNP is on the brink
of a breakthrough”
says The Independent
"Those for whom the idea of the
British National Party as a part of
mainstream politics has always
been unthinkable would do well to
start thinking about it."
Paul Vallely,
Associate Editor, The Independent.
W HEN The Independent came to
Cumbria at the end of Febru-
ary it was looking for an anti-BNP
follow-up story to one published a
few days before (see report below).
But when Paul Vallely's report, "Is the
BNP becoming Cumbria's cup of tea?"
appeared in the newspaper, it was any-
thing but another smear story. It was one
of the first honest and unbiased reports
on the British National Party ever to
be published in a national newspaper.
New complaint record
set after anti-BNP
smear photograph
T HE Press Complaints Commis-
sion (PCC) received more than
1,000 complaints in just 24 hours
after The Independent published a
photograph deliberately designed to
smear the British National Party.
It was the largest number of complaints
ever received by the Commission
and was prompted by a picture which
accompanied an article entitled “Alarm
over rise of BNP.”
The PCC said the complainants
referred to a picture that appeared on
page 4 of The Independent which had
been captioned: “BNP supporters out
in force in Leeds in 2005.”
They all claimed that the image was
actually a neo-nazi group calling itself
the Nationalist Alliance which is in fact
hostile to the British National Party.
A spokesman for the PCC said:
“We have never had more than 500
or so complaints for a single article
before. The commission will now
make a judgment on whether the cap-
tion in conjunction with the photo was

The Independent's associate editor
spent two days in Carlisle shadowing
Alistair Barbour, the BNP's election
candidate in the Castle ward by-elec-
tion, as he canvassed for support.
It was what the local people had to say
about the British National Party and its
policies, that made up the bulk of the
report and the comments were almost
all in favour of the Party having more
influence in British mainstream politics.
Cumbria’s press officer Clive Jefferson,
also took the journalist to a meeting in
Whitehaven where the views of the
rank and file membership of the BNP
in West Cumbria were sought, and this
too was reported without any bias.
The message of the report was that the
British National Party was very differ-
ent to what our oppo-
nents claimed it was,
and that the public were
well aware of this.

When the British National Party’s
Legal Officer Lee Barnes, first con-
tacted the newspaper it was under-
stood that editors were standing by the
caption. The newspaper was already
in the shops and there was no inten-
tion of removing the photo from The
Independent’s website.
Then a spokeswoman admitted that
the image was of Nationalist Alliance
supporters and two hours later the
image was removed from the website
with the spokeswoman revealing “an
editorial decision has been taken by
The Independent.”
Removing the photograph from the
website, however was only one part
of the process, becauses it had already
been published in the printed edition.
The BNP intends to pursue this matter
further until The Independent is forced
to issue an apology for what was
clearly a deliberate smear against the
members and supporters of the British
National Party.

BRITISH WORKERS BETRAYED VOICE OF FREEDOM - ISSUE No.103

Union boss negotiated

for the foreign workers
A BRITISH trade union official
who claimed to be speaking
on behalf of striking British con-
struction workers at the Imming-
ham Refinery, has been exposed as
being the chief negotiator of a pay

Italian and Portuguese workers the
strike was all about.
Bernard McAuley, a regional officer of

T HE Government has given a
£7.5 billion contract for new
trains for the British rail network to
a Japanese consortium.
Britain needs a fleet of new trains to
replace the Intercity 125 diesel and
Intercity 225 electric fleets that Brit-
ish Rail bought in the 1970s and
1980s. Building and maintaining the
new trains in Britain would safeguard
10,000 existing jobs and create a fur-
ther 2,500, but the Government has
given the contract to Japanese firm
Hitachi, who will use factories in
Japan to construct the majority of the
carriages.
It is madness that when jobs are being
lost at a record rate, the Government
is giving out contracts to foreign firms
and allowing them to take desperately
needed jobs out of the country.
The rail network is integral to the
prosperity and welfare of Britain and
this upgrading of rolling stock is vital.
But the contracts for the work should
be going to British firms, using British
workers in British factories.
Only such a show of support for our
beleaguered workforce will provide
the incentive for the hard work
needed to restore some long lost
pride in British engineering.
Labour attempts to cover-up the
extent of UK’s foreign workforce
K EITH Vaz was livid when the
Office for National Statistics
(ONS) dared to release figures that
showed that the number of foreign
workers in Britain has increased by
175,000 to 2.4 million in the last year,
while the number of British workers
in employment fell by 234,000.
It was the last news that the Labour
MP for Leicester East and chairman
of the Home Affairs Select Committee
wanted published on the very day that
unemployment in Britain reached a 12
year high.
But don’t think for one moment that

Scotland has lost a seat, so now there

Gary Raikes, the British National Par-

will be the No.1 candidate and Glas-
gow organiser Charlie Baillie, will be
the second choice on the list.
Eighteen months ago, Gary was the
lead candidate on the Regional List
for the Scottish Assembly elections.
He is a Turriff & District commu-

Gary lives in the North East of Scot-
land with his wife and five year-old
daughter where he is renovating an
old highland croft.
He is a former Sergeant Major instruc-

To get elected to the European Par-
liament, the BNP needs to gain
around 10% of the vote which on the
face of our 2004 vote of just 1.7%
seems an impossible task.
But the Party has made significant
progress north of the border and
with today’s volatile political cli-
mate that vote share could be sig-
nificantly increased. On top of this,
UKIP’s 6.7% vote from last time is
up for grabs and defections from the
Labour and Scottish Socialist vote
could also bolster the BNP total.
The editor of Freedom, Martin Wing-
field, headed the Scottish selection panel
and he was full of praise for the candi-
dates who attended the interviews.
“They were all very strong interviews
and making the final selection was not
an easy decision,” he said.

Righteous anger

T HE British National Party believes
in telling the truth, even if it is
sometimes uncomfortable to hear or
offensive to those who would rather
bury their heads in the sand than face
real problems in our society.
But while we often pass quite critical
comment on the impact of immigration,
multiculturalism and alien religions on
the indigenous people of our lands, we
have no animosity towards immigrants,
their descendants or the followers of
non-native religions.
Nor do we intend to encourage others
to feel such animosity, or believe that
NEWS IN BRIEF
n THE number of illegal immigrants
entering Britain in the back of
lorries from France has more than
doubled in two years.
More than 3,300 migrants hidden
in the back of lorries were picked
up in an eight month period in 2008
compared with 1,400 in an entire
12-month period the previous year.
Almost all are passing through the
port of Calais and the rise has been
blamed on weaknesses in Britain's
border controls.
n MORE than 90% of asylum seekers
registering at Croydon’s Lunar House
have no form of identification and
refuse to give their date of birth.
Figures obtained under the Freedom of
Information act showed that in 2008,
24,437 asylum seekers had to be given
a date of birth as January 1 by Lunar
House because they had no passport.
As soon as the predominantly Afghan,
Iranian, Iraqi and Eritrean immigrants
had illegally entered Britain, they
claimed asylum.

under-reporting its crime figures for
the last 10 years.

anything we have to say is likely to ‘stir

believe that by providing a peaceful and
Constitutional outlet for the anger and the
frustration felt by millions of our people
over the undemocratic transformation of
our country by our political masters, the
BNP actually defuses tensions.

it into righteous anger and political

VOICE OF FREEDOM - ISSUE No.103
T HERE was a sinister development at the beginning
of February when a foreign country made a call to
its nationals living here to influence the result of an
election in part of Britain.
In Pakistan a newspaper, the Pakistan Daily, called upon
Pakistanis living in the North West of England to register to
vote so that they will be able to use it in the European Elec-
tions. Under the headline “Register to vote or this racist BNP
man Nick Griffin gets elected”, the newspaper makes it very
clear that it is trying to assemble a fifth column of Pakistani
immigrants to use its electoral clout in an effort to undermine
the vote of British people living in the North West.
The report says:
“Pakistan Daily is urging YOU the Asian community to get
into the polling booths at this summer’s European Elections.
The British National Party could win its first seat in the Euro-
pean Parliament. If you want to do something about it and
stop the BNP then register with your local council to vote.”
Hopefully this interference from a foreign country in
an effort to manipulate the result of a British election,
will backfire and in effect actually motivate the British
people themselves to ensure they have the vote on June

the taxpayer nothing to run. But
regardless of this, the ‘Labour’ Gov-
ernment wants to begin privatising it

multinational company.
The arguments Mandelson & Co are

be competing with anyone - it’s a
public service, like the Fire Brigade,
the NHS and the Army.
It isn’t there to make a profit, it’s there
to deliver the mail.
The Royal Mail has seen the most prof-
itable parts of its operation creamed
off by TNT and its fellow multi-
national mail corporations in recent
years - and that’s because the ‘Labour’
Government let them muscle in on our
mail service in the first place.
This left the Royal Mail to uphold
the obligation to provide a universal
mail service to all Britons, regardless
of how remote or inaccessible their
dwelling place. It should have been
held together to maintain the whole
post as a public service so that the
easier and more lucrative parts of the
operation could help pay for the more

small towns, villages and hamlets
across Britain to be blighted by more
sprawling housing estates.

over hundreds of years because they
have nowhere to live.
The villages then die as living com-
munities, turning into ghost towns
peopled only at weekends and
school holidays.
The answer here isn’t to build more
houses - it’s to put local people first
in their own communities.
Local people should have the right
through parish and village councils of
vetoing house sales to outsiders.
The Government should also target
economic development to ensure there
are jobs for young rural people, instead
of letting ‘the Market’ shift jobs to
cities or indeed countries far away.
That way - without building any
more houses - British people would
be able to live in the areas in which
they grew up.
Britain doesn’t need any more immi-
gration. With climate change, soar-
ing world population and resource
exhaustion, together with the increas-
ing instabilities in global markets, we
are going to find it ever harder in the
coming decades to feed and fuel the
number of people we’ve already got.
The BNP is the only party which actu-
ally faces up to this issue of sustain-
able population.
The BNP alone will protect the
beauty and productivity of the Brit-
ish countryside and the integrity and
viability of the ancient traditional
communities.

Slump that the depression would
have been over much quicker.
For once conventional wisdom is right,
for this is what Keynes said in response
to that financial crisis when writing in
the Yale Review in July 1933, and it is
exactly the same as what the British
National Party is saying in response to
this financial crisis in 2009.
KEYNES SAID: “The divorce between
ownership and the real responsibility of
management is serious within a country
when, as a result of joint-stock enterprise,
ownership is broken up between
innumerable individuals who buy their
interest today and sell it tomorrow
and lack altogether both knowledge
and responsibility towards what they
momentarily own.”
BNP says: Private share-holdings
are detrimental to the stability
of any company within which
they are held.
KEYNES SAID: “But when the same
principle is applied internationally,
it is, in times of stress, intolerable - I
am irresponsible towards what I own
and those who operate what I own are
irresponsible towards me.”
BNP SAYS: It is only owners,
management and workers that
should have a financial stake in
their company.
KEYNES SAID: “There may be some
financial calculation which shows it
to be advantageous that my savings

Traditional fuel
sources are only
a short term fix
P ROLONGED power cuts for
Britain are going to be the order
of the day within the next few years
unless new technology is embraced.
That’s the warning from the British
National Party’s Cornwall organiser
Brinsley Jenkins, a professional engi-
neer of some 30 years standing.
“The UK’s generator capacity cur-
rently has a surplus over the maximum
demand, but the next six years will
see this reduced as older generating
plants are scrapped under restrictive
EU regulations,” he told Freedom.
POINTS OF VIEW
conveniently possible; and, above all, let
finance be primarily national.”
BNP SAYS: Enjoy your holidays
abroad and investigate foreign
cultures but when it comes to
industry - make it in Britain, and
the economy - put the interests of
the British people first.
So 75 years ago the greatest British
economist of the 20th Century mapped
out the blueprint which is now the basis
of the economic policy of the British
National Party.
Keynes made no bones about it
then and we make no bones about it
now - protectionism is the only way
forward for any nation that desires
financial security and economic
stability for their people.
“To help replace this lost capacity,
the Government has planned a wind
turbine system, however this does not
take into account the days without
wind when the turbines fall idle. This
could well leave a shortfall which
would mean power cuts across the
National Power Grid,” he said.
Brin said that he would hope that a
BNP government would, as a matter
of urgency, build five new coal-fired
power stations and re-open our coal
fields to supply them.
He would also like to see older coal
generators refurbished to provide
standby capacity by utilising all the
latest clean coal technology.
But Brin also pointed out that reli-
ance on traditional fuel sources
was only a short-term fix.
“The phenomenon known as ‘peak
oil’ is no longer an abstract con-
cept, it is now a reality as oil pro-
duction has plateaued, and in some
areas, has already tailed off.
“So we need to investigate the
feasibility of cutting-edge, intrin-
sically-safe, ‘fast-breeder’ nuclear
power stations which are demon-
strably safer than conventional
nuclear facilities,” he said.
BRIN JENKINS:
The Government’s energy
policy will leave a shortfall.

Straight Talking
Unnecessary suffering
TOO CRUEL: Ritual slaughter should have no place in a modern society.
S
MALL children don’t tend to associate meat with animals. They
just tuck in with never a thought of where the food comes from.
It is not until they get older that they start to realise that they are
eating what was once a live animal, capable of feeling pain and fear.
I remember when that comprehension came to me and I went to my
mother for some kind of reassurance that they didn’t suffer too greatly on
my behalf, and I still remember to this day her telling me that we live in a
humane country where all the animals are stunned before they are killed
and so are unaware of what is happening to them.
She certainly wouldn’t be able to make  such a comment today: not
since large numbers of immigrants have been encouraged by successive
governments to come and settle here and who eat ritually slaughtered
meat as part of their religious belief.
This ritual involves the animals being tied up by their feet and their
throats cut so that the blood slowly drains away; and they can take up
to two minutes to die. Modern scientific evidence leaves no doubt that
religious methods of slaughter must result in a degree of pain. So why
is this allowed?
Well it seems that certain religious groups are exempted from a section of
the law in the Welfare of Animals Regulations 1995 that requires all animals
to be stunned before they are slaughtered.
This is a disgrace because it provides certain sections of our popula-
tion with an exemption from the very legislation designed to prevent
animals from suffering.
The colour of justice
T
HE BBC has been so  incensed by perceived injustices in the
sentences meted out to criminals in Russia recently that it
featured them as a news item in their own right.
The Corporation was unhappy with the 20 year sentences handed down
to a group of Russian youths who had murdered members of the ethnic
minorities. But before criticising the Russians for being too lenient on their
own folk when it comes to sentencing, the BBC should look at how the
opposite seems to be the case here in Britain.
Now everyone agrees that murder is a heinous crime but acknowledges that
there are differing degrees. A premeditated murder is more despicable than
one carried out in the heat of the moment but not as despicable as a murder
where acute suffering is inflicted upon the victim.
When Hell’s Angel Gerry Tobin, was murdered, it was a premeditated act but
he died instantly with a single bullet to the head. This was a white on white
murder and the killers were sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Hannah Foster on the other hand was raped and suffered great torment
before being murdered. She was taken from the street for this sole purpose
but yet her killer, Maninder Pal Singh Koli, received a sentence of only 24
years, although found guilty of rape as well as murder.
When Amar Aslan was beaten to death with a pole in Crow Nest Park in
Dewsbury by a gang of Muslims, his killers, Amin Ali and Asaf Khan, were
sentenced to 12 years and 9 years respectively. The lesser sentences were
accorded because robbery had been the motive of the attack.
Finally a murder involving black gangs which occurred in broad daylight
on Oxford Street when Anthony Costa stabbed Stephen Bigby in the heart.
Costa was given just 5 years for
manslaughter as the judge accepted
that he had not intended to kill
Bigby. It beggars belief that when
a person stabs another in the heart
that there is no intent to kill.
Before the BBC starts criticising the
sentences handed down to the guilty
in Russia, they should consider the
sentencing here. For in Britain
it is the White British that seem
to receive the harsher sentences,
while our ethnic minorities receive
more lenient ones.
Hannah Foster:
Raped AND murdered
yet her killer got a more
lenient sentence than the
murderers of Gerry Tobin.

T HE British National Party

has launched a new campaign
against the media and political bul-

Operation Fightback.
Utilising a wide range of methods

Our media and political opponents

bankrupt taking council
taxpayers’ money with it
A ‘CHARITY’, which campaigned
against British National Party
candidates standing for election in
Stoke-on-Trent, has gone into admin-
istration with debts of over £100,000.
The North Staffordshire Racial Equal-
ity Council (NSREC) received £1 mil-
lion of taxpayers’ money each year but
had failed to submit any accounts after
two years ago.
“At the Budget setting meeting over
the last two years I expressed my
concern that the NSREC had become
a political organisation and as such
should not be funded by the council,”
he told Freedom.
“I also questioned the amount of grant
aid funding given to the NSREC by the

B RITISH National Party coun-
cillor for Corsham, Michael
Simpkins, attended an open forum
designed to solve racial discrimina-
tion in business.
The meeting was staged by Wilt-
shire County Council in Trowbridge
in response to allegations that local
housing and letting agencies were dis-
criminating against ethnic minorities.
After listening to all the debates,
Michael came to the conclusion that
new measures weren’t necessary.
“I don’t think there is a need for this.
Everyone is aware of the law,” he told
the local newspaper.
And the British National Party’s
contribution was appreciated.
“I was pleasantly surprised by the BNP
members at the meeting,” reported
meeting chairman Pastor Una Davis,
organisation “wound-up” amid claims
of serious financial malpractice.
Alby Walker, the leader of the nine-

Stoke City council - councillors who
were elected despite the best efforts
of the NSREC - had flagged up his
concerns about the charity more than
ing to the tune of more than £500,000
over the last ten years.
“This vast amount of council tax-
payers’ money was given without any
sevice level agreement or any balance
and checks by Stoke council.”
Alby has now asked the council’s
interim Chief Executive, Chris
Harman, to instigate a
thorough investigation
into where council tax-
payers’ money has gone
and if there is the slight-
est suspicion of any mis-
appropriation, to call in
the police to conduct a
criminal investigation.

Get out of NATO
S INCE the end of World War II
there has scarcely been a year
in which this country has not been
militarily engaged in some part of
the world or other.
We are no longer a world power,
despite what our politicians would like
us to think. In most of these conflicts
we are cheap American mercenaries.
I would like to think that like our Cana-
dian NATO partner, we would pull our
troops out of Afghanistan and leave the
Americans to fight by themselves for
the Trans-Afghanistan pipeline which
is what this conflict is all about.
This country could do something more
constructive with the billons of pounds
we waste on wars and obsolete weap-
onry like aircraft carriers and nuclear
submarines that could be destroyed
by unmanned drones from their bases
thousands of miles away.
When will the British people open
their eyes and see how they are being
conned - out of Europe, out of NATO.
George Avery, York.
The year of change
E
VERY discussion in the media
about the British National Party
has a spokesman from the Old Gang
parties spouting about how they
“must start listening to people”.
They all say the same thing and are
clearly working together to try to stem
support for the BNP.
I hope that the man in the street won’t
be duped by these weasel words.
Labour and the Tories have had their
chance and they have let the people
down time and time again.
I get immense pleasure out of seeing
these jaded politicians looking like
frightened rabbits caught in the head-
lights of an oncoming car every time
they are asked to explain away a good
BNP election result.
They know that their time is up and
that 2009 will be the year of political
change in Britain.

Fuel Poverty Bill
VER 5 million households are
living in fuel poverty in the UK.
This Labour Government has failed to
end fuel poverty and tackle the scan-
dal of winter deaths caused by people
living in cold homes.  
On 20th March the Fuel Poverty Bill
comes before Parliament. It will give
the Government a duty to insulate the
homes of people living in fuel poverty
to a high standard.
Insist that your MP is in Parliament to
vote for the Fuel Poverty Bill.

Strong together
I
WOULD like to appeal to all
true nationalists and patriots
to join The British Workers’ Trade
Union, Solidarity.
Leaving your old discredited trade
union and joining Solidarity will
give you a real sense of satisfaction.
And that’s because you will know
that you are NOT funding the Labour
Party’s anti-BNP campaign and at
only £5 a month will no doubt be
saving money as well.
Most other unions deliberately target
BNP members for their political beliefs
and in my particular case even called
for me to be sacked!
I have received excellent professional
representation from Solidarity during
the time of my dispute with my employ-
ers and feel that is is very worthwhile to
be contributing to a non-corrupt trade
union that does exactly what it says.
When my old trade union turned against
me I moved to Solidarity and now I feel
insured - full and comprehensive!
Mark Walker, schoolteacher, BNP &
Solidarity member, Co Durham.

HAVE sent the following message
of complaint to the BBC.
“When BBC are you going to accept
that a large number of people in the
UK support the British National Party
and that there should be BNP represen-
tatives on Question Time?
“The BNP is not going to go away I
can assure you of that, so why do you
not allow our voice and views to be

Trafalgar Club takes to the sea
VOICE OF FREEDOM - ISSUE No.103
T
HE weekend of the 21st Feb-
ruary saw the Trafalgar Club,
the UK’s leading patriotic fund-
raising group, in Hartlepool for an
event very much in keeping with the
Club’s nautical and naval theme.
The setting for the dinner on the
Saturday night was the stunning
HMS Trincomalee, a fully-restored
1817 British frigate, which is the
oldest British warship still afloat.
The ship has been renovated in a
multi-million pound project that has
seen it restored to its original glory.
Trafalgar Club members were treated
to a guided tour of the ship before the
dinner and the tour of all parts of the
ship really showed how this has been
money well spent.
Perhaps the most immediate thing that
was noticed by the members after get-
ting on board was how low the ceil-
ings were. Thankfully, aside from the
odd bumped head, no major injuries
were reported! Yet this really gave an

insight into how life aboard a ship such
as this during the period was unlike
anything we can imagine today.
After the fascinating tour, TC mem-
bers were taken to the Captain’s
Table on the ship, the setting for
their dinner which enjoyed a beau-
tiful panoramic view of Hartlepool
Marina. Members chose from a menu
which included roast sirloin of prime
Scottish beef, sugar baked Yorkshire
ham and Parisienne dressed poached
Scottish salmon.
After a wonderful night of catching
up with old friends and making the
acquaintance of new ones, BNP Chair-
man Nick Griffin, gave a short speech
at the end of the evening.
He covered such themes as the British
National Party’s by-election victory in
Sevenoaks just two days earlier and
the use of black propaganda by anti-
British forces.
On Sunday members visited the Cap-
tain Cook Museum in Middlesbrough
which featured an array of Cook based
artefacts and also many multimedia
presentations which told the life of
this famous British son of the sea.
The new Trafalgar Club organiser
Lee Hancock, hailed the weekend as
a great success:
“The ship was absolutely stunning
and it was the perfect location for a
club that celebrates Britain’s proud
naval tradition. All of the guests I
spoke to really enjoyed the weekend
and said it was a privilege to dine in a
genuine part of British history.”
This North East event was the
second in the Trafalgar Club’s con-
tinuing plan of offering its members
events around the country during the
year in addition to the annual black-
tie dinner in October.

part of Britain’s premier patriotic
club, please contact: The Secretary,

Over 280 people attended Barnsley’s

It was a fantastic evening with new

Simon Goodricke briefed the audi-

and what was on the cards unless the

with neighbouring areas pointing out
the dramatic effect that immigration
has had on the region.
