British Tea Party launched by Conservative activists to challenge Coalition.  Wish em much luck …

It’s gonna take a heck of a lot of luck and hard work to make this fly. 
This sort of thing isn’t, I don’t believe, a natural part of the Brit make up.  Maybe Lyndon and Chris will correct me on that, both of em being ex-pats. But Brits get angry and react in different ways.  They don’t seem to organize things like Tea Parties.

I guess we’ll see and as usual ...  Stay Tuned.

PS: Any Brits lurking out there who want to comment, you are more then welcome.  My word alone on this topic is hardly sufficient. But I do find it interesting.

British Tea Party launched by Conservative activists to challenge Coalition

A British Tea Party campaign inspired by the electoral truimphs of the American movement is launching a series of challenges to the Coalition government.

Activists are hold a rally at next month’s Conservative party conference in Birmingham at which criticism of Coalition policies will be aired.

A British division, launched last year by The Freedom Association, has held events including a “Boston tea party” in Boston, Lincs. ( Lincolnshire )

It has joined forces with the Taxpayers’ Alliance pressure group, which is being advised by Freedom Works, a large Washington-based political group that backs Tea Party candidates.

The organisers, who have already attracted thousands of disgruntled British conservatives, are being advised by the US low-tax, libertarian activists.

Raheem Kassam, one of the British tea party organisers, also held talks with US activists at the huge CPAC conference earlier this year.

“We want to counter what we believe is a Left-wing bias in our culture,” Mr Kassam said.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
