My first lover's tiff with my iPhone marred what had been a very positive and productive day. Constructive politics and enormous media interest coupled with two new doors fitted in the house was progress indeed until the unthinkable occurred. My lovely little gadget just died on me without any warning and rendering my recently installed apps totally useless.

After staring in almost disbelief I managed to Google the solution and deleted and reinstalled some of the software to get it working again after holding down a couple of keys and doing a hard re-boot. Thankfully, once you have downloaded an app you are permitted to download it again for free.We'll see how my iPhone experience pans out over the next few months but I must admit my confidence is severely shaken.

Thankfully my confidence in the BNP pulling out a decent vote from Glasgow North East is rock solid. A whole host of media people have been calling today wanting to know where we will be on polling day and you can expect substantial BNP coverage whatever the result.

Here, by the way, is the latest little stunt by the establishment to diminish our support:

With anxieties surfacing that the British National party might take third place, it emerged today that a Church of Scotland minister had launched a direct attack on the BNP at a Remembrance Sunday surface last weekend attended by Kerr.

Christopher Rowe, minister of Colston Milton parish church, said that "a vote for the BNP on Thursday would betray the memory of the many who fell between 1939 and 1945 fighting fascism". SNP officials said he told the congregation that "a Christian vote is not a fascist vote".

You can read the full report, contained in The Guardian, here.

Nick and Andrew are in Brussels. Mr Griffin has phoned several times today to be updated with what is taking place over here.Of course they will be back for our conference this forthcoming weekend which will attracting international media attention although none of them will be allowed to witness internal business.

Finally for tonight a bit of sad news from twelve days ago from Scotland.It has nothing to do with Glasgow NE and concerns a 40ft long sperm whale that was washed up dead on Balmedie Beach in Aberdeenshire. In a way it is comforting that these creatures are still swimming around our shores but I'd rather not find out like this.

Some Sound for Tuesday Night

2009-11-10T20:10:00.003Z

Just recorded this sound file which you might find very topical considering Nick is all over the news again and will be extensively featured in tomorrow's newspapers.

Last time I used the photo (below) to trick YouTube into thinking that audio was video several people asked me where it came from. The answer was from this year's St Georges Day parade in West Bromwich, happier times.

Who's Zoomin Who?

2009-11-10T08:36:00.002Z

Today's Times - During his campaigning trip, Mr Griffin was greeted by some drivers sounding their horns while others shouted words of encouragement and one even got out of his vehicle to shake the hand of the BNP leader.

Today's Scotsman - .. BNP leader Nick Griffin made a brief appearance in Glasgow North East before being chased off by anti-fascist protesters.

Glasgow NE

2009-11-09T18:37:00.004Z

Another heavy duty day on planet BNP starting off with Nick and Richard's visit to Glasgow North East. John Walker and I were left with the task of whipping up a press pack in just forty minutes, but we managed it with journalists flooding in to capture and report on the event.

The Guardian has just released this straight report (complete with good photo) which it uses to update Alan Johnson's self-contradictory nonsense about the need for a debate on immigration. Not that he is prepared to do it of course as once again he refuses a debate with the BNP in his original piece for the Independent this morning.

Word is that Alistair Darling was furious about being eclipsed by Nick today, he's the Chancellor by the way. Whilst in the constituency he was asked about the BNP and, as the Guardian reports, spat this back:

"People should be under no illusion as to how unpleasant and nasty the BNP is. I think their policies are deeply unpleasant and I hope people will reject them."

Myself, I've been down to Milton Keynes to set the ball rolling on another media product this afternoon. Gratitude must be expressed to whoever recommended the excellent "co-pilot" SatNav app for my iPhone. A very nice little gadget indeed, although I have yet to work this software to its full potential.

Sky News filmed Nick this morning and he was also interviewed by The Times so keep your eyes open for anything that might be of interest. The Herald were also on the scene and the Scotsman informed me of a possible serious blunder by the Royal Mail concerning an insignificant, communist outfit.

I don't want to live in a country where poppies, crosses and non-ritually-sacrificed meat is banned

2009-11-08T17:58:00.004Z

So what does someone as wicked, bad, heretical and incapable of seeing the benefits of the destruction of British society like me do on my birthday. A dabble with the occult perhaps or some other foul deed emanating around the concept of racial intolerance?

Well it started off at 6.00am with a strong cup of tea and an inspection of the fridge to determine the calorific damage from the previous night. Determining that the damage was very significant indeed I roughly calculate how much Saturday's expedition to Marks & Spencers would cost me on a weekly basis.Probably like many of you I can't afford to shop at M&S all the time, but it has to be admitted that despite the cost, the quality of food is exceptional.

After a quick breakfast, a short drive to Stoke-on-Trent for the Remembrance Day service from which this iPhone video originates:

Into Stoke Minster after that for a short service by the Bishop of Lichfield. Expecting some politically-correct drivel, I must admit I was truly shocked and most pleased with what he said:

But the point which we can consider is this: isn’t it true that in our own society we are chipping away at the values which make our freedoms possible? You can’t make a democracy in Afghanistan without shared public values and citizens who are not corrupt and violent. But in our own country corruption and violence are not entirely absent.

The bankers who have gambled away our futures mostly still fail to see that there has been wrongdoing and still argue that they should be given bonuses when most of us know they should be given penalties. Some of our MPs have filed false expense claims, though very few in Staffordshire, thank goodness.

And it’s not out of malice, it is out of ignorance, but our legislators are chipping away at the very Christian values on which our society and its freedoms are based. There was a mad headline in my paper this week claiming that the European Court of Human Rights has said that the display of crucifix in Italian schools violates religious and education freedoms and it ordered the government to pay a mother who complained about a crucifix in school €5,000.

Now Europe would not be Europe without its Christian history and foundations. The cross or the crucifix reminds us of the greatest act of sacrificial love in the history of the world. It can’t be done away with as if it were a private symbol. Because our national flags contain crosses, should they be abolished? The Red Cross society would not have been founded without the inspiration of the Cross. You can’t take the cross out of the Red Cross and expect it to stay the same.

Apparently some firms have forbidden its employees to wear poppies. To wear a poppy or a cross is not a health and safety issue. We allow Sikhs to wear their turbans in a free society. I don’t want to live in a society where poppies or crosses are banned.

Astonishingly and to put the icing on the cake, the last hymn on the song sheet, was Jerusalem. Perhaps the next time the Bishop of Lichfield is asked to join those who routinely criticise the BNP, he should consider very carefully what he said today and the consequences should we fail.

Nick's pleased about the new website design and tells me of the fuss that is going to be caused once the slogan on the site has been changed. The Daily Telegraph have been quick off the mark in noticing the face lift and kindly point a considerable amount of extra traffic in our direction.

Finally, something for the Bishop of Lichfield with his new grasp upon realism and indeed the rest of us to ponder via the Sunday Express:

SUPERMARKET giant Asda has risked sparking a racial backlash in the place where the BNP won its first ever council, by closing its traditional fresh meat counter and replacing it with a halal only section.

The chain has decided to make the move at its large store on the Isle of Dogs, east London.

Within weeks, anyone wanting fresh pork chops or ham off the bone will have to go to the pre-packed meat section, with Muslim customers having a wider choice from the halal counter.

Asda insisted it was “responding to customer demand” and had done a deal with a local halal butcher to reflect the ethnic make up of the area’s population.

There we have it, fully blown "multiculturalism" in action just a few weeks after Nick was descended upon by hordes of frenzied liberal journalists for stating that London was no longer a British city. As for me, I shall never shop at ASDA again.

"We are in a mess and the BNP is becoming more popular"

2009-11-07T18:49:00.003Z

It's all a bit too late now, but I thought you might like another example of the hatred and fear of the BNP demonstrated inside Troughminster. This formed the basis of an early day motion a couple of weeks ago:

BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY APPEARANCE ON QUESTION TIME

Mr Virendra Sharma
John Mann
Mr Andrew Dismore
Mike Gapes
Laura Moffatt
Mark Lazarowicz
Julie Morgan

That this House believes that the BBC is wrong to allow the racist and fascist British National Party (BNP) to appear on its political flagship programme Question Time as it will convey a spurious legitimacy to the BNP that it does not deserve and risks normalising this poisonous, abnormal political party; further believes that Question Time is not the forum to scrutinise the odious racist views of the BNP and regards other television formats such as the forensic interview as more suitable for exposing their false and divisive views and signalling their place outside the political mainstream; calls on the BBC to drop the BNP from its programme; and urges all those who believe in equality and who campaign against racism and fascism to unite against the BNP in all communities throughout the United Kingdom.

Meanwhile, on my travels look what I have found on the staff list of Jonny "three houses" Cruddas:

Nick Parrott - Self-employed campaigner on a contract basis for: Jon Cruddas Campaign, Searchlight Information Services, Trade Justice Movement, Corporate Responsibility Coalition, Unison, Christian Aid, ActionAid, Traidcraft Exchange (all not-for-profit campaigns). Senior Strategist, Blue State Digital (consultancy offering technology and strategic advice for online campaigning). Clients: Communication Workers Union, Hope not Hate, (a campaign against BNP and other far-right groups), Trade Union Liaison Organisation.

Interesting, as is this comment from Conservative MP, Bill Cash a few days ago during a Westminster European Committee meeting:

The reality is that there is no effective policy. The borders are, to continue my reference to Canute, being overrun by tides of immigration, much of which is of false asylum seekers. I want to make it clear that I abhor human trafficking, the unfair treatment of immigrants and racist approaches to such issues. It is dreadful to see the British National party taking the front line on the issues, but I have to say to all parties in the House that we are in this mess and the BNP is becoming more popular because there is both reluctance—much to do with our attitudes towards this kind of European policy making on immigration—and weakness among all parties.

Look out for the Sunday Telegraph tomorrow and a possible piece about some business in Preston. I'm off to inspect some Beringer 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon in order to keep the chill out of the night. Should I survive the cold and rain I will wake up early tomorrow morning being almost exactly 45 years old.

"The Forces of Darkness"

2009-11-07T07:23:00.005Z

This shocker was broadcast last night on Channel Four News. Notice how even the reporter accuses us of preying on people's fears as everyone gets a chance to condemn the BNP whilst not a single word is allowed from our own candidate. Instead Charlie is filmed looking as menacing as possible, surrounded by the forces of darkness menacingly stirring cups of tea. Dogs are seen crawling on their bellies in fear as our delegation leave the cafe as a sudden thunderstorm develops. Flocks of large black birds gather overhead as concerned mothers are shown hastily ushering their children to safety indoors as our election team come into focus. As they move down the street, footage of rats running in a sewer is flashed subliminally on the screen. Well almost.

A Perfect and Thoughtful Gift

2009-11-06T18:39:00.003Z

Starting us off on Friday evening with the latest from the Metropolitan Police concerning the attack on our two MEPs in Westminster. As I have said before, sooner or later if the police continue to turn a blind eye to this behaviour somebody is going to get hurt. They have every opportunity to nip this in the bud now with evidence of dozens of people involved in a premeditated riot.

There's plenty of media coverage heading our way in the next couple of weeks and you can expect considerable interest in next weekend's conference in the North West. Today's Times also focuses on next Thursday's Glasgow NE by-election, speculating that the BNP could come third, although I do think that that is possibly a little optimistic.

The mainstream political parties are increasingly worried that British National Party could achieve a political breakthrough in Scotland in next week’s byelection.

Some privately believe that the BNP stands a chance of winning third place in Glasgow North East, ahead of the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats, or, at best, save its deposit — something the party has never achieved in an election in Scotland.

Switching to the Daily Telegraph which reports that the vile trade in African children appears to be spreading. Self-loathing white liberal and actress Emma Thompson even goes so far as to utilise this inverted form of people trafficking to advocate the replacement of the white population of Exeter. Notice how the report emits the statistics for the percentage of white people currently resident in Rwanda:

Exeter is a lovely place for the BNP, says actress Emma Thompson
Emma Thompson, the actress, has described Exeter as a place where BNP leader Nick Griffin "would feel very comfortable" because it has so few black faces.

In a lecture on Thursday night, titled All Africans Now, she reflected on Griffin's complaint that the audience for his recent appearance on Question Time was drawn from "ethnically cleansed" London, a city "that is no longer British".

Thompson said: "He'd love Exeter. He would feel very comfortable here."

Asked by one student: "What can we do to change the whiteness of Devon and Cornwall? How can we expand our university?" Thompson replied: "This is how we're doing it. Tindy had his experience and now we're having a big week of educational events to try and help it.

"We don't have to enthuse the entire student body, just as we are not going to eradicate racism in Cornwall this month."

She added: "You're not going to get hundreds and hundreds of black students here overnight, but what you can do is make them more comfortable."

She will turn 51 next April and perhaps we should rise to the challenge and show how kind and considerate us BNP people are when faced with such a chronic case of ethnomasochism. If we all club together, perhaps we put the poor girl out of her misery and arrange for some of her organs and limbs to be replaced by those from donors from Africa. Having been suitably modified and enriched she could then lead a more fulfilling and purposeful life, happy knowing that she had become a living embodiment of the anti-racist cause. A perfect and thoughtful gift.

In other news drug addict and serial criminal Pete Doherty has yet to announce any plans to enter the African child market however according to Gigwise he has something else up his sleeve.

Babyshambles performed a hard-hitting anti-British National Party song for the first time at an intimate show in North London last night (November 5).

Four songs into 'secret' show at the Proud Gallery in Camden, the band launched into the abrasive track 'The BNP Blues' which berates Nick Griffin's party.

Not that this should be confused or tarnish the excellent Fisherman's Blues by the Waterboys, which, with perefect timing and a little white man's magic starts off my birthday weekend.

Mob Rule

2009-11-05T19:15:00.004Z

This clipping was recently sent to my email box and I thought I might share it with you. My apologies for the small font and I'll not be held responsible for any consequent optical damage.
It does help considerably though if you click on it first!

Meanwhile for another take on the Sellafield row and confirmation it would seem that we are now under mob rule please click on this familiar face below.

For those who are able to stomach the regular sprinkling of IslamoMarxist propaganda added to BBC Radio Four, you might be interested in the current "A Book At Bedtime". It focuses on a fictional Black Country ward in 2002 and the wicked BNP candidate "Bailey" and his evil attempts to deprive the local people of a giant mosque and Pakistani village. I wonder who the author, Anthony Cartwright, could have based this character on and whether future editions will be available in Urdu?!

Is Nick Griffin a Security Risk?

2009-11-05T11:06:00.003Z

That was the question posed by BBC North West local news last night following his banning from Sellafield. You can check out last night's coverage, while it lasts, by clicking here.

When listening to some of the automatons questioned, although others of a more positive inclination probably ended up on the cutting room floor, it makes me wonder whether these people really are worth saving.

Where's Mr Burns?

2009-11-04T19:50:00.003Z

If you are quick, by clicking on the image above you will be transported to ITV Border's regional news report concerning the Sellafield story. Notice the union rep' who would seem to be more at home working for Mr Burns at Springfield's Nuclear Power Plant. The Whitehaven News carries a response from a spokesman of a far more charming, handsome and intellectual nature!

Whilst we are waiting for the report to appear on the BBC North West news I can at least provide you with a link to the BBC Cumbria online report.

My spare time today has been spent getting to know my new Apple-flavoured friend and loading it up with a few apps. Does it surprise you that one of which concerns the weather? Seriously though if this little creature remains stable, with what it can do and the ease with which it can be utilised, it will be the best mobile phone I have ever owned.

2009-11-03T18:12:00.004Z

Whilst the latest edition of Private Eye is comical, for some reason I don't find this funny at all.In fact it makes me feel like strangling the "comedian", videoing it and dubbing it with canned laughter as he sequentially changes colour. Not that I would do such a thing, but perhaps having read that sentence, he might just understand how we feel.

My Nokia N97 locked up on me for the last time this morning. It cannot say it had not been warned as last night having frozen on Google Maps once again I explained that it was drinking at the last chance saloon. Therefore it cannot complain about being replaced within two hours after its latest outbreak of serial malfunctioning. Great camera, inadequate battery and dangerously unstable is how I would sum it up.

Having entered the world of Apple we'll see over the next few months whether or not my new iPhone is any better. One thing I will say though is that straight away I like the look and feel of my new toy. Perhaps you might suggest a few apps for me.

The giblets disappeared yesterday evening as some lucky creature got a bonus meal to sustain itself through a wet and windy night. I feel much better having not thrown my duck offal away and hope that one of the poor feral cats that live locally got lucky.

The Sellafield story is going to break in the next forty eight hours. Incredibly the authorities there let in a Sinn Fein/IRA delegation in 2003, some two years before they agreed to stop killing people and decommission their arms. Now a democratically elected North West MEP isn't allowed to visit a facility in his own constituency, what a disgrace.

As it happens Nick has been invited to the Copenhagen Climate Summit (COP15) in early to mid December. One wonders whether or not they'll try the same trick there and just how the British public view this type of liberal fascism and its utter contempt for the democratic process.

Industrial Scale Discrimination

2009-11-02T17:49:00.003Z

On planet BNP this evening I can bring your more news of persecution and vindictiveness on a truly industrial scale. Less seriously I can report that Downing College at Cambridge University are seeking to remove all privileges that Nick, as a graduate, has.

More seriously I can report tonight that a planned visit by our North West MEP to the Sellafield nuclear processing plant was cancelled last Monday. After applying four weeks in advance we were officially informed by the "Stakeholder Relations Director" that Nick's visit would jeopardise safety inside and outside the site. Other excuses offered included the rather fanciful idea that it would "distract the staff".

Whilst digesting this outrage you might like to put on the menu that Sinn Fein have been allowed to visit the facility and that Nick's position on the ENVI committee ( Environment, Public Health and Food Safety) is severely jeopardised by not being allowed to visit this facility that is actually within his own constituency.

Better news is contained in the Daily Telegraph where an example of one of the very few times white victimhood is recognised can be accessed.

BNP's Nick Griffin 'racially abused for being white' court told

Nick Griffin, the British National Party leader, has appeared in court to accuse an Asian motorist of racially abusing him for being white.

Meanwhile I have to confess that I didn't eat all of that duck yesterday. The giblets, which I had saved, have been put into a dish and left outside for a lucky badger, fox, feral cat or werewolf.

Banning, Martyrdom, Political Viagra and Duck

2009-11-01T17:59:00.005Z

In the age of vindictiveness and persecution that is modern day Britain I thought I would offer you this little gem currently being circulated by our friends at the NASUWT. Such is the obsessive, almost psychopathic level of spitefulness demonstrated by these people you have to ask whether or not they are of a fit mind to be in any position to work at all, let alone be trusted with younger people.

The concept of martyrdom will of course not be lost across at Archbishop Cranmer's blog where we find His Grace calling upon 520 years of acquired wisdom to skillfully dissect the truly reptilian Bercow and his recent, illicit attack on the BNP.

The Sunday Times this morning lays me down with a sudden and severe bout of electoral fever as it predicts a huge surge in BNP support:

BNP support up 50% in far-right strongholds

The BNP is likely to improve its share of the vote in some key regions by 50% at the next general election, a leaked Whitehall report has forecast.

A study of the growing influence of the far-right party found that 18% of those polled in three areas where it is strongest said they would vote BNP.The report says that would be an increase from 12% in previous polls.

The study, for the Equality and Human Rights Commission, the race watchdog, is the most comprehensive official analysis of the BNP produced. Supported by polling from ICM, it was based on three samples of 1,500 people in Blackburn, northwest Leicestershire and Stoke-on-Trent.

From that heavy dosage of political Viagra we move to The Observer which details more progress on the second front we have opened up since last June. Even one of the Scottish newspapers affords us some decent coverage and a Halloweenesque portrait of Nick in the run up to the Glasgow North East by-election.

Thank you for the suggestions concerning my duck-orientated Sunday dinner. So delicious was the outcome that I consumed the whole bird in an almost Roman act of gluttony. Not that I would recommend the same trick with what was washed up on Glamorgan's Barry Island beach a week ago last Thursday. Whilst I have eaten broad-billed swordfish before, such a gastronomic exercise would have to be left to experts such as Mr Creosote or John Prescott.

The Man Who Would Be King?

2009-10-31T17:36:00.006Z

Since the weather today was nowhere near I or anybody else had predicted I've been determined to make the most of it. An early shopping expedition with me focused on the concept of a free range chicken ended with the mouth-watering prospect of comparably reared duck on the menu for my Sunday dinner. Whilst the non-tortured chickens were weighing in at over £10 I managed to snag the duck for a bargain £5.47.

Whilst the sun was shining there was time to pack a small rucksack with soup and sandwiches and try and walk off some of the stress of the week. There were plenty of fieldfares and redwings feasting on berries and a pair of kestrels terrorising meadow pipits. All in all I probably covered about five miles and it was only on the very last leg that rain was encountered.

A call from Nick sets up the agenda for the beginning part of next week as I update him on what lies the newspapers are telling about us this morning. Mr Bercow's antics have not gone down very well and the chances of him having a Speaker's traditional free run in his Buckingham constituency at the next general election should now be considered minimal, very minimal in fact.

You might be interested in a piece concerning The Speaker's shocking outburst yesterday which was accurately reproduced in today's Independent newspaper. However, the reporter never mentioned my quote about the need to test Mr Bercow's urine:

Bercow breaks convention to attack BNP
By Michael Savage, Political correspondent

He swept to office on the back of a promise to break with tradition. But John Bercow, the Speaker of the Commons, has been accused of taking his shake-up of the role too far after he unleashed an attack on the British National Party.

Centuries of political impartiality demanded of the Speaker were rolled back in spectacular fashion by Mr Bercow yesterday, as he described the far-right party as "evil", adding that it was a "poison which we could well do without". It is thought to be the first time that a Speaker has ever launched such an assault on a legal party...

Simon Darby, the deputy leader of the BNP, said the outburst was "quite shocking" and broke the rules of the office of Speaker. "He is meant to be independent and this kind of outburst is quite extraordinary," he said. "We are hopeful of performing well at a general election and if he is still the Speaker, I do not see how he could possibly continue in the role. He has jeopardised his position."

I wonder how all of those political opponents of ours who criticised me for referring to "Baroness Warsi" as a Pakistani will react upon acquainting themselves with today's Daily Telegraph. It was never meant as an insult and indeed why should it be?

Baroness Warsi may have had the biggest poppy on the BBC's notorious Question Time which showcased the vile BNP leader Nick Griffin, but she admits that she would herself fail Lord Tebbit's "cricket test".

"I would fail it completely," says Lady Warsi, the daughter of an immigrant bed-maker who, providing David Cameron wins the election, is likely to be Britain's first Muslim Cabinet minister by next June.

"You never have a dull moment when the Pakistanis are playing. There's just an excitement there which I think some other nations don't produce on the pitch."

Lord Tebbit said a key test of "Britishness" for people from ethnic minorities was who they would support in a cricket match: the national team or their country of origin.

When I saw her in the Question Time studio corridor I honestly thought she was part of the production staff rather than a "Baroness". I'd very much like to go to Kashmir as it is supposed to be incredibly beautiful. One wonders if the locals would encourage us to colonise the place and appoint me the Maharajah of Jammu. I doubt it considerably, but you would have thought an avid multiculturalist like "our" Sayeeda would be falling over herself to assist in my coronation and the subsequent enrichment and diversification of her shockingly monoracial homeland.

Bercow spills the beans

2009-10-30T18:55:00.008Z

Four new tyres in preparation for the winter and I start the day somewhat pleased at the recession-indicative damage of just £62 a corner. Adding another £118 for car tax and a replacement set of wiper blades bumps the spend up again, but that is the least of my potential problems. Normally I can allocate anything between a full day and a full week to replace either headlight bulbs or wiper blades, but miraculously the new wipers are fitted within an hour. Although I've yet to use them in anger.

Looking at the weather forecast and talking to Jim Dowson in Ulster an hour or so ago it appears that my handiwork will be put to the test in the very near future. The predicted heavy rain will eliminate any possibility of me spending time in the garden and reluctantly my weekend will gravitate towards B & Q and other unpleasant places wasting my precious Saturday in the process.

I see the truly wretched John Bercow developed a hissy fit today whilst administering a session of the Youth Parliament in Westminster. The Metro newspaper covers his outburst this evening:

Speaker John Bercow attacks 'evil' BNP

John Bercow Speaker John Bercow won a standing ovation from the UK Youth Parliament today when he launched an extraordinary attack on the "evil" of the BNP.
At the end of an historic day's sitting, which had seen the Commons benches occupied by non-MPs for the first time ever, Mr Bercow said the BNP was a "poison which we could well do without".

The Speaker is traditionally expected to remain impartial while chairing sittings of the House and he acknowledged this in his impromptu comments.
But he insisted: "I'm under absolutely no obligation whatsoever to be impartial as between the forces of democracy on the one hand and the forces of evil on the other."

Apparently he was applauded for his rant, which by the way will mean that he will be, by his own admission, incapable of maintaining The Speaker's role should BNP MPs be elected next year. One thing he did not tell his audience was that in the financial years 2007-8, 2006-7, 2004-5 and 2002-3 he occupied joint first position in a league table of highest-claiming members of the House of Commons, while in 2003-4 he was the joint third. I don't think he would have received so much applause for his undoubted prowess at the trough. Neither for the fact that the troughmeister changed the designation of his second home on more than one occasion – meaning that he avoided paying capital gains tax on the sale of two properties. Let's face it with a pedigree like that I'm rather happy about his uncontrollable and very public hatred of the BNP.

Following on from the EHRC link I provided you with yesterday, you might want to examine the latest developments in this sordid little tale detailed in Personnel Today. This is the part that I like considerably, so much so that I've purchased a bottle of Blossom Hill Californian CabSav to enhance that bitter bitten experience:

Jeya Thiruchelvam, employment law editor at XpertHR, warned the alleged actions by the director could constitute race discrimination.

She said: "Ironically, the act of requesting or instructing non-white employees to join the BNP, even if the aim is to highlight the assertion that the BNP is continuing to restrict its membership on racial grounds, and is therefore inherently racist, may well constitute direct race discrimination.

"This is because you have a situation where employees are being selected on the grounds of their race (or ethnic or national origin) and being treated less favourably - by being requested to a join a far-right extremist political party – than their white colleagues."

I did say they would regret the day they crossed swords with us and don't be surprised at all if this does not become a criminal matter. There are better legal minds than mine who understand all too well the implications of what is being alleged considering the circumstances in which we were dragged into court just fifteen days ago by these people.

GLA Business

2009-10-30T08:41:00.003Z

Down at the GLA yesterday which of course entailed the usual train hike down to London. With nobody even bothering to sell me a ticket I just walked off at Euston, but made sure that I visited the Fast Ticket machines to cover myself. With no laptop and a dead N97 there was no real opportunity to blog on the way back.

This may sound strange but whilst working at City Hall I got on far better with the ethnic staff than the white liberals. However it was good to see Tony in the office working hard for the people of London.

Scotland Yesterday

2009-10-29T07:43:00.005Z

The STV report from Nick's visit to Scotland can be seen by clicking the image above. Notice once again how the police just watch and allow his vehicle to be blocked by protesters.

Meanwhile some kind soul has shrunk the massive 850MB MP3 file offered by L107FM last night to a more digestible 50MB offering linked in the comments section. Interestingly UKIP appeared to have missed the close of nominations deadline and as such are not in the line up for Glasgow NE.

Turning up the Heat

Although I am not probably ever likely to be able to prove this, I strongly suspect that a serious, violent assault on Nick was planned today in Glasgow. What is more it would seem that certain members of the media were in on this, waiting for the ambush and even having the nerve to ring me to ask where Nick was.

Most people would go to the police with such a shocking and disgraceful tale, but in our case what on earth is the point? We were attacked at College Green in Westminster in broad daylight and the police just stood by and watched. Months after this and with the Metropolitan Police furnished with high definition video and high resolution photographs, no arrests have been made.

As I said earlier this week, it is my opinion that the police are just allowing this increasing provocation of Party members to continue with just one reason in mind. To force us into the position of having to defend ourselves in order that they can then arrest BNP people and parade their haul to a salivating media.

There is an unfortunate inevitability about this whole scenario. Somebody soon is going to get very badly hurt due to the police turning a blind eye and in effect encouraging the escalating level of violence and intimidation against our members and officials.

Incredibly despite this, BNP members are still actively being approached by Special Branch officers offering "protection" and "security advice" on the proviso of providing them with information about our political activities. One wonders whether the police are actually beyond facilitating the violence against us as a lever for potentially extracting information to feed back to their Labour Party handlers.

It is no exaggeration to state that at the moment BNP officials could be doing media interviews 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. One moron today for a well known university opened his account with the most ridiculous and illogical question I think I have ever heard. After two seconds of thought, I just put the phone down determined not to waste a second more of my time providing cheap entertainment to people simply not wanting to understand our viewpoint.

After this abrupt termination I must admit I felt a little guilty. However, letting you into a little secret, I spent the fifteen minutes I had saved picking out a spectacular Betfair multiple wager on tonight's football. Five selections, a £3.10 stake and £6182.17 as a potential return, unlikely but worth the stake on its own merely to look at the intricacy of the mathematics!

Enough of that though, here's the link to the Nick Griffin interview on L107FM which was broadcast by the local radio station this morning. Although this Scottish outlet will no doubt come in for an enormous amount of criticism by assorted IslamoMarxists and Luddites, credit must be given for their tenacity and respect for the democratic system.

Normally familiarity with this telegraph blogger requires either a stiff drink or an emergency anti-depressant tablet. However, just for once beneath the obligatory insults he might just have done us a favour.

About time for a few nature notes - Last Sunday a dead Sowerby’s beaked whale was found at Kenfig Nature Reserve, Bridgend. It had been dead for quite some time and had some damage to the jaw, rostrum and ribs. It is likely that this damage occurred after it died. The post mortem of the 13ft metre male could find no clear cause of death.

Myself, I enjoy this time of year when the leaves start to fall and with the air getting noticeably colder. Whilst you have to wrap up, at least you stand a better chance of spotting goldcrests and other illusive creatures.

Media Liars

Truly ghastly day yesterday for a number of personal reasons. Driving through the rain late last night on a 230 mile journey it was all I could do to send a tweet to the blog to keep you up to date.

There's a couple of media-related items I want to your attention tonight just in case any of you were drifting towards a position whereby journalism might be considered as nothing more than alternative way of making a living.

We start with our friends at The Sun newspaper, who on Sunday rang to ask about how the Trafalgar Club Dinner had gone. Having answered a number of questions including what wine was on the table, I was asked about the future plans for the organisation. "Eventually" I said "we would like to expand the Trafalgar Club to a thousand members, in that way we could raise about £250,000 a year." So what do we find in The Sun the following day:

BNP banquet to raise £250k flops

BNP supporters staged a swanky black-tie dinner hoping to raise £250,000 - but it FLOPPED.
The extremist party flagged up the invitation-only do in the hope of getting a huge war chest to finance its dream of putting MPs into Westminster.

But leader Nick Griffin and his followers were later forced to admit they had raised only "a few thousand pounds" rather than the quarter-million they had set their sights on.

Next I had a journalist from the free newspaper the London Lite call me. "We've had an editorial meeting" said the journalist "reluctantly the editor has asked me to do a feature on the BNP." "How do you mean, "reluctantly" ", I enquired. He then started on about how opposed he was to everything that the BNP stood for before I stopped him and told him that under the circumstances I wasn't going to waste my time taking to someone so unprofessional.

A little bit more light is shone on the London Lite incident this morning as the Evening Standard reports the following:
London Lite set to close

The London Lite was today placed under threat of closure.

The free newspaper, which is owned by Associated Newspapers, is set to become the latest victim of the recession, with 36 jobs at risk.

Still with that journalist now joining hundreds more on the dole queues he is hardly in any position to complain as he takes his place amongst the sizable proportion of the world's population jockeying for position in Britain's benefits system.

This afternoon I attempted to do an interview with a journalist from the Isle of Man. Understanding where his tedious line of questioning was leading I turned the tables and asked him to answer whether or not he thought there was such a thing as an indigenous Britain. Time after time I asked the question yet he still refused to answer. In the end I said I would terminate the interview if he didn't either confirm or dispel the extent of his own racism. He wouldn't and so that was the end of that.

Finally today, I have had to deal with the ridiculous non-story about a BNP leadership challenge contained in The Times. What utter garbage and do you know what those responsible for writing and publishing it know that too. Doesn't stop them from printing it though does it?

Anyway, thank god I have John Walker to help me deal with some of these people otherwise I think I would be either in jail or a sanatorium by now.

Here's a couple of interviews John has done recently that I'd like you all to hear:

BBC Radio Four Today Programme Friday 23rd October - 2hrs 12mins in

BBC Radio Five Live Steve Nolan Show Friday 23rd October - 7 mins 28secs

Cuba and little green stickers.

My little stint on NewsTalk Radio in Dublin this morning was productive enough. Towards the end some media analyst from the Daily Mirror pulled me up on my reference to Peter Mandelson being a communist accusing me of telling lies. Just for him here's a little piece of information regarding Mandy's flirtation with the dehumanising exterminationist cult.

In 1971 he joined the Young Communist League, then the youth wing of the Communist Party of Great Britain.He was a delegate in 1978 to the Soviet-organised World Festival of Youth and Students in Havana, Cuba.

On that subject, after a hectic week I've attempted to overdose on football today, particularly enjoying the West Ham/Arsenal game. Please tell me I was imagining the subliminal brainwashing throughout today's fixtures concerning "kicking it out" and "one community", or was it Workers of the World uniting perhaps. You might have thought that if something was so natural and advantageous it wouldn't need to be artificially sustained and promoted so often would you?
