The far-Right British National Party has won its first ever seats in a national election

A lot of people have suggested that, this is what happens when the main stream politicos just don’t listen.
Based on what I’ve been hearing, it isn’t so much that the UK has become a nation of bigots.  It’s that many do not feel they’ve been listened to.
And they think the BNP listens because there’s a chance they are small enough to to want to earn the votes needed.

Not many think however, that this right wing group has what it takes to get elected to the Parliament in London. This win for the BNP was for a seat in the European Parliament, where they hope to be a thorn in the side of those who want a closer union with Europe. There are many who are angered by the idea that so many rules can be passed in Brussels, that Englishmen and women must abide by.  They are also tired of this ‘diversity’ and ‘multiculturism’ which they see as a politically correct wrecking ball.

One thing I have noticed with interest.  You’ll see it also if you check the link for photos.
The yobs and thugs who are oh so freedom loving and devoted to democracy, who break car windows and try and block someone who has won an election in a very legitimate forum, from making his speech at a town hall.  Interesting too that it seems to always be those who do cause damage and who do try to silence those they don’t like or agree with on the right. Or far right.  They seem to me to be devoted to rights and free speech but only when it’s their voice that is heard.  Everyone else must remain silent least they get their cars damaged or worse.

BNP leader Nick Griffin becomes MEP as party celebrates first ever successes in Euro elections

The far-Right British National Party has won its first ever seats in a national election as Labour crashed to poll humiliation.

The neo-fascist party sent shockwaves through Westminster by winning two seats as voters turned their back on the political establishment.

BNP leader Nick Griffin won in the North-West and Andrew Browns snatched a seat from Labour in Yorkshire and the Humber after their vote collapsed.

Mr Griffin said his party’s double success was a ‘bad moment’ for mainstream parties but a ‘great moment for democracy’.

He added: ‘They’ve all been caught with their snouts in the trough. This is the British people fighting back.’

The UK results came as conservative parties raced toward victory across Europe as voters punishing Left-leaning parties.

Projections by the European Union showed centre-right parties would have the most seats - between 263 and 273 - in the 736-member parliament.

Centre-left parties were expected to get between 155 to 165 seats. In the UK, the LibDems came a disappointing fourth, with just 14 per cent.

Mr Griffin said the BNP’s success was due in part to the indigenous white population of the UK being treated as “second- class citizens” in their own country.

He told the Today programme: “There is a huge amount of racism in this country. Overwhelmingly it is directed against the indigenous British majority, which is one reason we have done so well in these elections.

“Every different ethnic group in this multi-cultural, multi-ethnic society that our masters have imposed on us are all allowed groups to stand up on their behalf, but the indigenous majority are not.

“In this country, it is the indigenous majority who are the second-class citizens in every possible sphere, not as a consequence of the immigrants themselves, but because our ruling elite has made us second-class citizens and that is one reason why we got such a huge vote in the North of England.”

In his victory speech, Mr Griffin claimed there was ‘a deep, dark stain’ on the way the country’s democratic system is run.

He said: ‘However much you dislike our party in some people’s cases, you cannot constantly stand by the perversion of the democratic process as a way of trying to keep us out.

‘For the last 50 years, more and more of the people of Britain have watched with concern, growing dismay and sometimes anger as an out-of-touch political elite has transformed our country before our very eyes.

‘It is not just a matter of mass immigration, although that is an obvious symptom of it.

‘It is handing us over to be ruled by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, it’s turning the common wealth of this country, our public services, into private properties for giant corporations, in banning St George’s Day festivals while encouraging everyone else to celebrate their festivals, usually with taxpayers’ money.

‘In so many ways the liberal elite have transformed this country.’

Mr Brons, who won a seat for the BNP in Yorkshire and Humberside, was chairman of the National Front in the 1980s.

He helped the party take almost 10 per cent of the vote in his region, up two per cent on the last election.

Its share reached 16 per cent in Barnsley, 15 per cent in Rotherham and nearly 12 per cent in Doncaster - all Labour strongholds.

Conservative Party leader David Cameron described the BNP’s victories as ‘desperately depressing’.  ‘The BNP are completely beyond the pale. They are an appalling bunch of people,’ he said this morning.

‘What the mainstream parties have to do is prove their worth. Get on the doorstep, explain to people how we are going to take up their concerns, how we are going to respond to their issues. That is the best way to beat these dreadful people. I hope this is the extent of what they can do and they go no further.’

Labour’s deputy leader, Harriet Harman, told Today: “I think people will be absolutely dismayed and I think it is horrific to think that we have got representing Britain in the European Parliament people who think that black people and people of Asian origin have no place in this country.

“It is not that they want them to be second-class citizens. They don’t want them to be citizens here at all.

“I think what they have done is played on people’s fear, the BNP. But also they have tried to pretend that they are less racist then they are.”

Crowds carrying ‘Don’t Vote BNP’ banners and chanting ‘BNP is the Nazi Party’, surrounded his and other party members’ cars, smashing a window, and forcing them to turn around.

The BNP leader had to be driven to the town hall in a police van, entering via a back entrance while being heavily surrounded by minders and officers.

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.
