Election Issues

The Scarborough BNP has several issues it is highlighting in the forthcoming local election.

Law and Order - there has been alot of car crime and vandalism lately in one of our wards. We are pushing for more police on the streets, and also for facilities for youngsters so that they can no longer use the "boredom" excuse for their criminal rampaging. People should feel safe on the streets of Scarborough and Filey, not threatened by out of control yobs.

Fair Trade - the Greens want Scarborough to be a Fairtrade town. Fair enough, for items which cannot be produced here in the UK, but for items which can be home produced, they should take precedence. Many sugar beet farmers have lost their livelihoods after sugar factories have closed down, but all we hear from the fair trade brigade is how we should buy imported sugar instead of helping our own farmers. We say - fair trade begins at home - help British farmers, buy British produce as your first priority.

Migrant Workers - an old favourite of the Scarborough BNP. We see many jobs being taken by migrant workers, we have heard of people having their contracts terminated, only to be replaced by a migrant worker. Students see their summer jobs being taken by migrants, building workers are told by employers that they will not be hired because the employer is only taking on Poles, people apply to companies, hear nothing and then find that the same company has taken on a load of Polish workers. British workers should have priority in the jobs market. It is a myth that British workers do not want jobs.

Companies are saying that their business depends on migrant workers. The Eastern Europeans have only been entering this country in high numbers since 2004. The companies involved are established companies who would have gone bust if they had no one working for them until the migrants came over. So who did the work before? Did they employ local workers? Or did they employ illegal black market workers? My money is on them employing local workers.

Happy St George's Day

Happy St George's Day from the Scarborough BNP.

This is the ideal day to remember what it is to be English, and celebrate our heritage and customs before they die out forever in the all-encroaching tide of political correctness.

We are flying the St George Flag at Scarborough BNP "headquarters" but how long before it is an offence to raise ANY British flag? Our own Union Flag could soon be replaced by the vile EU "circle of stars", as it has equal status with our traditional British flag.

Rest assured, readers, that the Scarborough BNP will NEVER raise the EU piece of rag over its headquarters!

Local Elections

This is the first time Scarborough BNP have contested a full election, as opposed to by-elections. Here the elections come round every four years, and the group was only really formed in 2005. So we were pleased to be able to field four candidates at our first attempt.

Three of the wards have been contested in by-elections (all in 2006!) while one is totally new to us.

The wards and candidates are:

Central Ward - Trisha Scott (Scarborough Organiser).

Filey Ward - Kevan Foulds.

Hertford Ward - Louise Scott (Scarborough Secretary).

Stepney Ward - Alan Foulds.

Filey and Hertford turned in good results and percentages last year, Stepney is the poor performer for us.

All results will be published here.

A bit late for this report but it doesn't matter :-)

"Almost 40 members attended the latest meeting of Scarborough BNP, held in North Yorkshire.

Scarborough Organiser Trisha Scott chaired the meeting, and began by telling the audience of the forthcoming May elections, and that more activists were always needed by the group.

The first speaker of the evening was Linzi Reynolds, of the Department of Security. Linzi outlined the importance of security and vigilance as the profile of the Party was increased.

The second person to speak was Scarborough Fundholder Vince Rosser. Vince spoke of how the Scarborough group had increased its orders for both ‘Voice of Freedom’ and ‘Identity’ in the recent months, and Scarborough was now one of the top six groups in the Yorkshire region. Many of the new Party leaflets had been distributed since August 2006, and the group wanted to raise the profile of the Party in the area, which was achieved by having a regular ‘Voice of Freedom’ stall.

After a short break, Trisha read out the full versions of two letters she had submitted to the regional press. One related to the ‘Undercover Mosques’ programme on Channel 4 and the other related to comments made by David Cameron. Both letters had been published but not in their full versions! The letters were well-received by the audience.

The main speaker of the evening was BNP website editor Steve Blake, who was making his first visit to the North Yorkshire coast. The theme of his talk was “a journey through time”.

The present scenario was a serious situation, where the Home Secretary recommends that criminals are not sent to prison unless they are deemed to pose a serious threat. One peace protester, a 74 year old woman, had been sent to prison for 14 days after she refused to pay a fine. On the other hand a serial paedophile was told he “should buy victim a bike to cheer her up.”

Council tax had risen way above inflation, and cuts were being made in all councils.
Gordon Brown has said that in 10 years time there will be no work for unskilled workers, yet there are 600,000 East Europeans working in the UK, and 300,000 are expected to arrive from Bulgaria and Romania.

Sharia law is already being implemented in Muslim areas of British cities, and more and more concessions were being made to the Muslims. At the moment there are approximately 1.8 million Muslims in the UK, and Conservative leader David Cameron is now trying to win the Muslim vote by talking to the Muslims in Birmingham. Cameron was not talking to whites, only Muslims as it is their vote he wants.

As white Britons emigrated to places such as France, Spain and America, Muslims from Africa saw Europe as an empty land to colonise. In 15 years, France and Spain would be unrecognisable as European countries.

Steve then spoke about the past, in particular Scarborough’s past. The town gained its name from a Viking invader called Thorgills Skarthi (Skarthaborg), though there were other place names in the area, such as Ayton, Wykeham. Brompton and Cayton which had Old English origin (“ton” was a settlement and “ham” was a farmstead). These names dated back 400 years before the Vikings had arrived.

In 300AD the Romans had built a signal station along the coast and there was evidence of stoneworking in Yorkshire which dated back to 5000BC. These ancient stone masons would have looked like the Britons of today.

Steve told the audience that we are fighting for the future and to honour the memories of those who have made sacrifices in the past.

Moving on to the future, and a scenario 30 years on, in which Christmas has been abolished and people are sent to jail by the religious police. Politicians are now warlords and the local high street is Mohammed Khan Way. There is one pub, and alcohol is very expensive, though drugs are available. Petrol is very expensive and only warlords/politicians have cars, as they are the only ones who can afford them. Anyone who resisted the religious police would be put in camps and labelled “racist”, subject to curfew and with tags on their ankles.

An alternative Christmas – walking along Nick Griffin Avenue to the sound of bells from the towers of the medieval churches. Children can play outside without supervision, as it is safe for them to do so. Bikes and rollerskates are still their favourite toys. The pub is open, with the inviting smell of a log fire, pies and sausage rolls drifting onto the street. It is part of the community and everyone knows each other. Petrol is still expensive, but wind farm produce power so we are no longer hostage to Middle East terror and we produce our own energy.

Which scenario we choose is down to us, Steve concluded.

Trisha closed the meeting and announced that the collection had raised over £200."

I was pretty pleased with this report, sometimes it is hard to get the whole of the speech in, but I think I got this one alright. This was our first meeting of the year, and it was a freezing cold, icy night. Thanks to all those who attended, and those who didn't missed a great meeting.

And thanks to Steve Blake for that Guinness!
