Reflections on British Nationalism and the Foundation of the British Freedom Party: Part 1

Introduction
Following months of rancour within the BNP, a group of reformists has announced the creation of the British Freedom Party (BFP). Its founding has been precipitated by their failure to effectively challenge Nick Griffin’s hold on the leadership of the party and to introduce mechanisms for the democratic formulation of party policy and the appointment of key personnel. Furthermore, there were questions connected to a lack of transparency relating to party accounts and allegations of an absence of financial probity at the top of the party.

Thus, the imperative for the emergence of the new party was not ideological, but procedural. The BFP is therefore presumably what its founders would have liked the BNP to have become had the Nick Griffin/Jim Dowson clique either stepped down or been dislodged. That said, one of the leading voices amongst the BFP is Lee Barnes, the BNP’s former ‘legal eagle’, who fell out with Griffin then swiftly fell in with the reformist camp led by Eddy Butler who sought to challenge Griffin for the party leadership. Being a prolific blogger and commentator on nationalist forums, Barnes has to date been the main source of information about the BFP and its ideological stance. For Barnes, the BFP is not a party founded upon racial nationalism, ethno-nationalism or civic nationalism, but upon cultural nationalism. In effect, this is a beefed-up civic nationalism with a greater emphasis upon the cultural assimilation of the immigrant population.

The objectives of the BFP published on the Advanced Ape blog are certainly ones to which I subscribe:
The objects of the Party shall exist to defend and restore the freedoms, traditions, unity, identity, democracy and independence of the British people, to establish full sovereignty over all our national affairs by restoring the supremacy of the British Parliament, to withdraw from the European Union, to promote democratic British nationalist principles, to promote the social, economic, environmental and cultural interests of the British people and to preserve and promote the ancestral rights and liberties of the British people as enshrined in the British Constitution.
The BFP now enters a crowded field of parties touting for the nationalist vote, for besides the BNP there are also UKIP, the English Democrats, the National Front (NF) and the England First Party (EFP). There are probably other miniscule groupings that I have not mentioned, but if I’ve not heard of them, you can guarantee that they certainly will not make a breakthrough. Besides these, we have the anti-Islamisation street movement of the English Defence League (EDL). None, in my opinion, possess the right mix of policies, objectives and organisation to be able to make a mainstream breakthrough at the current time. All lack credibility. What is equally clear is that there has never been a greater need for a moderate nationalist party to break through into the mainstream. Before proceeding to outline why, it will first be necessary to clarify my terms.

Why Nationalism? What is Nationalism?
I recognise that my reasons for favouring nationalism will not be shared by many others who describe themselves as nationalists, and this of course grows out of the fact that what is meant by the term ‘nationalism’ is hotly disputed and possesses a wide variety of definitions. So, before venturing further I shall provide a definition of what I consider to be a ‘nation’ (as those of you familiar with theoretical writings on this subject will note, my position shares a great deal with that of A.D. Smith), but given the limited scope of this piece I shall at this stage neither go into great depth nor provide bibliographic citations in line with standard academic practice as used in the Harvard System.

An ethnie is a group defined by a combination of common biological descent, common culture and common history. These are the preconditions upon which a collective ethnic sentiment is forged and rests; without these, there can be no distinct ‘we’. A nation is a politically mobilised ethnie that is either in possession of a state, is actively seeking statehood, or has lost statehood and is seeking its restoration. Mobilisation thus proceeds upon the basis of securing the interests (however they may be defined) of the nation as a whole. Nationalism therefore represents the purest form of democratic politics, for the nation and the demos and their interests are identified as one. Without seeking to further the interests of the nation, politicians of whatever stated hue are acting against the well-being of the demos, and are thus by definition anti-democrats. Politicians and journalists who act against the interests of the nation use pejorative terms such as ‘populism’ and ‘demagoguery’ to stigmatise the genuine articulation of the people’s interests and opinions by anti-oligarchic rivals.

Nationalism therefore, is nothing more than the political pursuit of the well-being of the members of a given nation. It is the purest expression of democratic principles and thus stands opposed to oligarchy and globalism. Thus, unlike what its leftist detractors claim, nationalism is not an ideology of ‘hate’; nationalism is not ‘xenophobic’; nationalism is not synonymous with imperialism (in fact, genuine nationalists deplore imperialism for they recognise the rights of other nations to self-determination and free political expression) and nationalism is not ‘racist’. Nationalism defines itself in a positive fashion by pursuing what is best for the people collectively, not through seeking conflict with other nations.

Nationalism seeks to liberate the potential of all members of the nation, not of any one class or special interest group. This is why those on the Left detest nationalism, for they are wedded to the belief that international class identities trump all others, and that nations should be ‘smashed’ to usher in their Socialist or Communist Millennium. Nationalism stands for pluralism and true diversity, whereas the visions of leftists and capitalist globalists seek a totalitarian uniformity.

I therefore define myself as a nationalist because I wish to see the best for the members my nation collectively; the nation provides the best context in which individuals can flourish and reach their full potential. I wish to see other peoples also concern themselves with building better lives and futures for their own nations. Nationalism represents the best path for the whole of humanity, and does not in and of itself lead to conflict.

Nationalism is not imperialism. Nationalism is not fascism. Nationalism is not Nazism. Nationalism does not entail ethnic cleansing. Nationalism is democracy in action. Nationalism promotes the conservation of resources and the environment. Nationalism is diversity.

Globalism generates hate. Globalism generates conflict. Globalism facilitates economic imperialism. Globalism is oligarchy in action. Globalism promotes the degradation of resources and the environment. Globalism is uniformity.

Which Nation is Mine?
For all of the above reasons I am a nationalist, but of what type? I am English. In those three words there is much significance, for although I also see myself as British, as European and more widely (moving into the realm of ideological belonging) a Westerner and a rationalist, the ‘English’ element denotes what I consider to be my nationality. Strangely though, although the English are arguably one of the oldest nations, they do not currently possess a statehood of their own, being instead cemented into the UK and the EU. Within the UK the Scots, the Welsh and the Unionist and Republican populations of Ulster all possess their own distinct forms of in-group ethnic sentiment as well as political expression in their own assemblies and, in the Scottish case, Parliament. The English on the other hand, have to make do with Westminster which of course represents the whole of the UK. In this respect therefore, the English can technically be said to lack a political existence as a nation.

Devolution has created a situation in which distinct political dynamics have been established in Scotland and to a lesser extent Wales (the situation in Ulster has always been different), which mean that they increasingly see themselves as separate from England. They also have their own ostensible nationalist parties in the form of the SNP and Plaid Cymru, which are in reality defined exclusively through opposition to England and the English because otherwise they embrace multiculturalism and do not therefore behave in the manner of true nationalist parties. The launch of a British rather than an English Freedom Party thus seems to me to be a tactical mistake. England has borne the brunt of mass immigration, multiculturalism and Islamisation, and it is in England that there exists the greatest pent up demand for a true national democratic party. An English Freedom Party could still be a unionist party, but, any continuation of the United Kingdom needs to be one that is ratified by its composite nations and, irrespective of its outcome, England needs a parliament of its own.

Bolton: UAF attack Police and English Defence League

First they came for the BNP, then they came for the EDL. The Trotskyist-led UAF has again attempted to foment violence upon our streets in Bolton today, and yet our mainstream media continue to purposefully misrepresent the EDL (as they always have the BNP) as “racists”, “fascists”, “thugs” and the instigators of violence. UAF is invariably provided with the opportunity to put its side of the story to the media, who lap it up and regurgitate it in an uncritical fashion whilst demonising not only EDL demonstrators and supporters, but also anyone in this country who holds a contrary view to the sham orthodoxy that “Islam is a religion of peace”.

Are our media pundits truly so politically illiterate that they do not understand that despite the end of Communism in the former Soviet bloc, the Trots have dropped neither the core principles of their ideology, nor their devotion to violence? The fact that they have decided to ally themselves with followers of a seventh-century dark age irrationalist ideology worries them not, for they see Muslims as being able shock troops in their myopic utopian bid for power. If Trots cannot seize power (which they cannot) they will content themselves with violence, and to this end, they are causing no end of mischief through manipulating naïve members of the trade union movement to do their bidding. Trots view millennial violence as being a positive end-in-itself, so why does the media accord them such respect?

Religious leaders of all hues used the occasion of the demonstration to seek to shut down the freedom to express dissident opinions on our streets and in our daily lives through penning a joint letter to Alan Johnson asking him to ban the march. Thankfully, Johnson was unable to find a legal pretext to do so, but how much longer do we have before the Labour Party or the other mainstream Westminster parties finally snuff out our right to criticise any negative aspect of the multiculturalist dystopian project to which they all actively subscribe?

To criticise Islam is not racist. Neither does criticising the many negative facets of this ugly violent religion make the critic a “fascist” or a “Nazi”. An 89-year old WWII veteran (Bertie Lois) who joined the UAF counter-protest was quoted by the Telegraph as saying
"I fought the Second World War against these Nazis. What did I fight for if we let them? The EDL are the enemy. I would say to them 'you are the guys we fought for, what are you doing?'”
The question that the media should be asking is: why is this old man involved with a group of hardline Trotskyists who are attempting to destroy the political liberties that he ostensibly fought for in the struggle against Nazi tyranny? Might he himself not be a Communist? If not, he is greatly misinformed if he thinks that the EDL is comprised of neo-Nazis. I shall be charitable however, for the manner in which the EDL's position is distorted by the mainstream media would be enough to mislead any naif to fall for this revolting piece of black propaganda. This man is just misinformed. If he truly wanted to join the struggle against the closest contemporary political phenomenon to Nazism, he would be marching alongside the EDL.

As in previous marches, the BBC and the Times (owing to the influence of Arab oil money?) have been particularly misleading in their reporting, imputing the violence to the EDL, despite the fact that it was UAF directed and that the majority of arrests were of UAF members who had attacked the police. A similar thing happened last year at a UAF counter-protest at a Harrow mosque, where the fact of there being next-to-no demonstrators did not hinder them from attacking the police and staging a mini-riot. If there is any threat to public order and safety on our streets today emanating from an organised political campaign, it is from UAF members and supporters, not from the EDL.

It will be likely that we will not know the full tally of arrests until tomorrow, but early indications from the Telegraph are that circa 55 people have been taken into custody, and that all but a handful of these people were from the UAF group. The UAF, comprised as it is of hardcore Trotskyists, Islamists and misguided trade union members who have been dripfed non-stop lies for years, represents a genuine threat to our political liberties and right to peaceful assembly. We can but hope that the public in the UK wakes up to the reality of what this organisation is, and do not fall for calls to further erode our cherished right to free expression, which has already been severely curtailed by the Labour government and the unelected and unaccountable Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). I fear that our drift into a police state is accelerating. Still, at least we can take heart that an estimated 2,000 protestors turned out on behalf of the EDL today, as opposed to the 1,500-strong UAF mob, as well as the fact that Weyman Bennett, joint secretary of the UAF has been “arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit violent disorder.” I hope that Bennett is charged and receives an appropriate custodial sentence for his repeated attempts to unleash rivers of blood upon our streets.

Harrow Mosque: Violent Muslim Mob Whipped into Frenzy of Hate by UAF Thugs

According to media reports, more than 1,000 hyped-up Muslims and soi-disant anti-fascist protestors descended upon Harrow Central Mosque today to attack a Stop the Islamisation of Europe protest. The SIOE protest was being held to object to the Mosque’s planned extension and construction of 40-metre high minarets. Other groups such as the English Defence League planned to gather outside the Mosque at 5pm today, and had notified the police of their intentions in advance. However, at 6.33pm, the following three paragraphs were posted on the SIOE homepage (spelling mistakes and grammatical errors preserved from the original):

In this moment Stephen Gash is being told by a senior sergent of the police to call off the demonstration in Harrow. He has been arrested to prevent a breach of the peace…

More than 1000 mainly muslims are gathered infront of the SIOE demonstration and they stop people to attend the demonstration.

If you are on your way to the demo, don’t go, it’s being called off right now. The police can’t handle the muslim counter demonstraters. The senior sergent said that he doesn’t want any of his policemen killed
.” [1]

As you can see, the police were understandably concerned that a major breach of public order was underway, but the fact of the matter is that violence was neither planned nor initiated by the protesters. Unite Against Fascism (UAF) had teamed up with thugs within the Islamic population in an attempt to crush dissent and stigmatise the protestors as “far-right” and “fascist”, which are the standard labels that it employs to try and dehumanise anyone who disagrees with their Islamo-Marxist agenda. Naturally, the mainstream media organs have colluded in this misrepresentation, so one has to read current reports of this situation with caution. It is probable that as I write, unrest continues on the streets of Harrow.

Wherever the UAF turns up, it initiates and incites violence, as today’s events sadly attest. UAF still subscribes to the Marxist-Leninist doctrine of violent class struggle, and its membership labour under the misapprehension that by allying with hyper-reactionary Islamist elements and undermining our society through mass immigration, they can create a violent revolutionary situation via which they will usher in their Socialist/Communist Millennium. In reality, if pushed far enough this will lead to a miserable civil war which will benefit nobody, other than the violent sadists who cloak their hatred in the language of fraternal love, whether it be that of the Ummah, or of the Proletariat. Paradoxically, it is people such as these, possessed of a rigid Manichaean cast of mind who cannot cope with the complexities of reality and history, who 70 years ago would have been attracted to Nazism had they been born in Germany. They are votaries of violence masquerading as progressives.

The BBC has reported that 8 people have been arrested, none of them being anti-Islamist demonstrators: “Seven people were arrested for possession of offensive weapons including a hammer, a chisel and bottles of bleach. . . . Another person was arrested to prevent a breach of the peace.” [2] As well as attempting to attack the peaceful demonstrators, the Islamist/UAF mob vented its irrational hatred on the police, with the Guardian and BBC reporting that officers were hit by bricks and bottles. As in Luton where another Islamist mob recently attacked the police, a number of fireworks were also thrown.

Members of the mob had been drawn from far afield. One 17-year old Islamist youth by the name of Mahmood Abdullah who had travelled from Morden told the Independent: "We don't want to start a fight but we're willing to defend our brothers and sisters if we have to . . . We want to show them that for every protestor they bring, we'll bring ten." [3]

Abdullah’s comment is telling. It shows us that we are no longer able to criticize Islam in the UK without being threatened with violence. As Enoch Powell predicted, we have in effect become strangers in our own land. It is time to take our country back, and time for our European neighbours in Holland, France, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Sweden and elsewhere to take theirs back too. We need to tackle the Islamist menace that grows more aggressive and assertive by the year. This can only be done peacefully and via political means. And believe me, it can be done. All that it takes is an act of will. Millions of acts of individual will which together will provide the assertiveness necessary to reassert our sovereignty and sense of collective national identities.

Of course, absolutely every political party and individual in Europe that questions the madness of the demographic and cultural Islamic colonisation of our countries is branded as “far-right.” We have reached a peculiar tipping point in our history, where the indigenous peoples of Europe can choose either to commit collective suicide in the face of an implacable alien threat that calls itself the “religion of peace” (sic), or to reassert themselves through implementing moderate nationalist policies. The EU superstate and its multiculturalist elite stands in our way, and wishes to entrench Islamisation through expanding its borders to take in Turkey, and then to later admit states from the southern shores of the Mediterranean. This must never be allowed.

We now stand in a position of being pilloried as “far-right”, “fascist” and “racist” simply for opposing the deliberate dismantling and destruction not only of our indigenous cultures, but of our liberties too. There is no liberty under Islam, only slavery. If you think that standing up for traditional English liberties and free speech is “far-right”, then I stand guilty as charged. If you are a dogmatic Leftist, let me state clearly and emphatically that the Holocaust did take place and that it was a great evil, no more nor less so than the other terrible acts of mass murder of untold millions committed by Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot, all men of “the Left.” “Left” and “Right” have lost their meaning. They do not fit our contemporary political, social, economic or ecological realities. They belong to another era, as does the notion that the UAF, Searchlight, Antifa and the trade union movement are fighting a recrudescence of fascism in the UK. This is pure propagandist nonsense. If we truly wish to avoid bloodshed and the mistakes of history, let us not give in to the bloody ideologies of Islamic expansionism and Marxist class struggle.

Once again, I urge supporters of the EDL and kindred groups such as SIOE to back the formation of a moderate and assertive nationalist politics in the UK that rejects completely the claims of Islam within our shores. As in my initial posting of 5 September, I ask you to support the British National Party at the ballot box, and to join it if your livelihood is not currently threatened by doing so. There is no other political party in the UK that is guaranteed to take an assertive stand against Islamisation.

Protests such as those held today serve only to hinder our cause. The Labour Party has distorted your actions and will continue to do so, and is likely to use your protests as a pretext to push through draconian legislation further eroding our right not only to protest, but also to intellectual dissent. Witness for example this quote from John Denham in today’s Guardian: "I think that the English Defence League and other organisations are not actually large numbers of people. . . They clearly, though, have among them people who know what exactly they're doing. If you look at the types of demonstrations they've organised … it looks pretty clear that it's a tactic designed to provoke and to get a response and hopefully create violence." [4]

UAF’s paymasters are in power. Remember that, and act in a circumspect manner.

Militant Islam, the English Defence League and the BNP

I am as against the Islamification of the United Kingdom and Europe as anyone, and thus understand the genuine frustrations that have given birth to the English Defence League. In a situation where our mainstream political parties are actively courting the Muslim bloc vote and aiding and abetting the process of Islamification, it is unsurprising that some people will turn to public protest as a means of expressing discontent. However, there is opposition and there is opposition. It is my opinion that there are better and more effective ways of tackling this problem than creating situations where protesters lay themselves open to accusations of inciting and perpetrating violence, no matter how ill founded these may be.

The few protests that the EDL have staged thus far have been relatively small scale and have generated a predictably violent response from hotheads within the Muslim population and their allies within Unite Against Fascism and the Socialist Workers’ Party. All three of these elements share a commitment to violence to achieve their respective goals of: entrenching Islamic territorialism within the UK; destroying free thought and subverting social order as a means of ushering in a mythical revolutionary millennium which will deliver designated victim groups from the chains of global capitalism. I shall leave discussion of the dynamics of this unholy alliance for a later occasion. Do not be goaded into responding with violence, for that is what they want.

The recent Muslim unrest in Luton’s Bury Park area in which police were attacked with fireworks attests to the fact that significant elements within our Islamic colonising population are so eager to unleash violence upon us (i.e. native Britons and our non-Muslim civic compatriots) that they will use any pretext to do so. Our response should be calm and measured. Your MP may well be an Islamic lickspittle, but write to him or her expressing your concern about the increasing concessions made to Islam in our country, underscoring that far from increasing social cohesion, their policies are sowing the seeds of civil strife and will ultimately lead to a protracted low-intensity civil conflict if not reversed.

Emphasise that you do not wish to see Britain become another Bosnia-Herzegovina, and that as a deeply concerned citizen you believe that the principle of one law for all must be applied, without opt-outs for Islam. Demand the abolition of halal slaughter; sharia-compliant finance and mortgages; Islamic faith schools and charitable status for Islamic foundations and projects. Demand an end to the cultural imperialist programme of mosque building which has become a visible sign of our de facto subjugation to Islam in so many or our urban areas. Baldly state that you are not “far right” and that if they choose to see you as expressing “far-right” sentiments, then point out that they have thus stigmatised majority opinion amongst the indigenous peoples of the UK. If your MP reacts negatively, or does not respond, you will know that they prefer to rule over an electorate comprised of Somalis, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and mentally unbalanced converts to Islam (for there is no other kind of Islamic convert in a free society).

It is most likely that your MP will ignore you, accuse you of racism or simply give a half-hearted response addressing one or two of the issues. Anything less than a wholehearted backing of the above demands should be unacceptable for us. So, if and when you receive a negative response from your MP, whom should you vote for? The Labour, Liberal-Democrat and Conservative parties are all globalist multiculturalist parties which advocate appeasing Islam. Each will contain a handful of individuals who deviate from this diktat, but they are in no position and never will be in a position to influence policy. Your vote should therefore go elsewhere. Let us mobilise our families and friends against the appeasers of Islam.

UKIP are civic nationalists who take no position on Islam. Likewise, the English Democrats are in the same mould, and have no policy position on Islamisation. Both therefore, like Plaid Cymru and the SNP, are false nationalist parties. Islam has no roots amongst the indigenous peoples of our isles, and neither does it possess such roots in the lands of our continental neighbours. Our struggle against Islam can only succeed if we lend our support to a true nationalist party which has at its core a commitment to the right of self-determination for the indigenous peoples of the United Kingdom (i.e. the English, the Welsh, the Scots, the Irish and the Cornish). Hitherto, many people have been debarred from nationalist political campaigning by legislation preventing members of the British National Party from working in certain fields owing to it having been dubbed a “racist” organisation. Similarly, expressions of open support for the BNP have been muted through fear of being stigmatised and victimised.

All is about to change. As the BNP is unable to afford the legal fees to fight the Commission for Equality and Human Rights allegation that its membership criteria are in contravention of the Race Relations Act, it is about to open up membership to sympathetic ethnic minority British citizens. When this occurs, its opponents will no longer be able to declare it a “racist” party, and the Government will have to remove its ban on public sector workers being members of the BNP, otherwise it would have to abolish the Black Police Association and other such bodies promoting ethnic/racial special interests.

Whereas the CEHR action was designed to blow the BNP out of the water, it has in fact provided it for the first time ever with the possibility of becoming a serious mass political party with prospects in Westminster. There is a huge amount of pent-up public frustration linked to enforced mass immigration, multiculturalism and Islamisation, but people have previously felt inhibited about voting for the BNP because of the constant barrage of smears from the mainstream media, pressure groups and political rivals. Now, with the BNP’s changed membership criteria, the BBC and other broadcasters will have to give the BNP airtime, so the fabric of lies built up about the Party will eventually be torn apart. Moreover, the BNP will be able to attract professional people of talent who will be able to smooth out its rough edges and make it more electable.

There thus now exists for the first time in generations a real nationalist political option which will enable us to achieve our objectives in regaining our national autonomy and rights. Our goal must be to peacefully reverse the demographic, cultural and legal changes which together comprise the process of Islamisation/Islamification. We must steel ourselves for the tough political fight ahead, and remove any self-doubt with respect to the rightness of our cause. Our enemies possess no doubts, therefore we should be unwavering in our opposition to Islam within our shores. As for affairs elsewhere across the globe, we should keep out of them, for we are but a small country with declining power and influence. Our task should be first and foremost to secure our way of life and liberties within our own homeland, for ourselves, and those yet to be born.

Many of our fellow citizens who have been able to live lives insulated from contact with the burgeoning Islamic colonies across the UK lack direct experience of the latter’s negative social and economic impact, and currently often know no better than to swallow the lies fed to them by the mainstream media. They will for some time at least, continue to view us as in some ways less than fully human, owing to the standard repertoire of unjust insults deployed by the globalist multiculturalists in their battle to maintain cultural hegemony. Despite the heavy-handed attempts to indoctrinate the population through the introduction of compulsory “diversity training” and associated employment legislation, many can see through this fabric of wilful lies and discern the lineaments of an ugly truth.

I call upon the EDL to reconsider its tactics. Street protests are likely to discredit the anti-Islamist and nationalist causes in general. Don’t get angry, get even. We are now in a position where we can achieve our peaceful and moderate objectives through the electoral process. Please do not risk jeopardising the chances of a very real political breakthrough by giving vent to your frustrations on the street. This will only serve to give our opponents more ammunition to limit civil liberties and free expression. If you are truly against Islamisation, support the BNP.

English Defence League Protest

This afternoon the English Defence League, a new group whose formation was precipitated by the Islamist barracking of troops in Luton earlier this year, is planning two protests against the Islamisation of the UK. One is scheduled to take place at 3pm at the Bullring in Birmingham, the other in Wood Green, London.

The Lionheart blogger Paul Ray has provided an interesting insight into the experience of the small band of protesters who marched through Whitechapel on 27 June in the second outing of the English Defence League (the first being in Luton). The Metropolitan Police appear to have been well informed of plans and thus turned up in force. They behaved in an exceptionally intimidating manner, individually photographing and interviewing all participants before telling them that they had to leave London within the hour and not set foot within the M25 for the next 24 hours.

I hope that the protests planned for today pass off peacefully, and wish those brave enough to attend the best of luck in making a public stand against Islamisation. It takes a hardy and brave spirit to stand against the combined might of the state, the mainstream media and the race relations industry, for they will seek to paint you in the blackest and most dehumanising of terms.

The English Defence League has just created its own website which can be accessed from my “Sites of Interest” section. Below is the verbatim text of the League’s homepage:


We are the "English Defence League".

We've originated from the concern's of normal people about the growing threat to our country from militant islam and our aim is to protest and march against islamic militant's operating in our land and the islamification of Great Britain.

Following several protest's against our brave returning soldier's from combat zone's our group has set out to protest against these militant's wherever they appear as our government is too scared and gutless to do anything about it in the fear of being racist.

We have no political preferences and anyone can follow us but i think we can all agree Labour have totally destroyed our country favouring anyone but us, The English working class.

We have marched in Luton and have plan's to march again shortly and recently in london with more march's planned this is only the beginning.


As a new group everything is under construction but shortly there will be no place in Great Britain were islamic militant's and muslim's preaching hatred can go unopposed.

With the Welsh Defence League already up and running plan's for Scotland and Northern Ireland groups at an advanced stage the fightback has now began.

This is not about race or colour it's about having the piss taken out of us.

Check back for update's in the following week's.
