The symbol of a lion has been used as a heraldry device for many centuries by Scottish Kings. It was the personal heraldic flag of ‘William the Lion’, of Scotland, and adopted as the Royal Standard. Later the term lion heart was given to king Richard and later still the lion became the symbol of the British people’s strength and courage.

When thousands of British soldiers met their fate on 1st July 1916,the first day of the Battle of the Somme went down as one of the most tragic and futile moments in British military history. Now, almost 100 years after this mindless massacre of our young British Lions, the country they fought and died for has changed beyond all recognition. In 1916 our brave heroes came from a very different society from to today.

They made the ultimate sacrifice on that battlefield in France in the belief that they were defending the British way of life and securing real freedom for their people back home. Sometimes I wonder if those who inherited this legacy deserved that sacrifice. Over the last 30 years society has become very selfish and insular, brainwashed by a media that fills their minds with trivia. Those men and women of 1916 belonged to a culture that they believed worthwhile defending and believed in a God in whom they trusted, they were British nationalists.

Today it is a completely different state of affairs .We are told that it is offensive if we are patriotic and it’s ‘racist’ to put the interests of families who have been here for generations before those who have just arrived from the other side of the world. Thanks to New Labour and the Conservatives before them we now live in a country where parents are frightened to discipline their children. Where schools teach alien cultures while ignoring our own.

Where drug dealer’s trade freely on our streets entrapping our youngsters in a life of misery, and where the human rights of paedophiles are put before the safety of society’s most vulnerable. Successive Governments have destroyed our manufacturing industry which was the lifeblood of our country in 1916. Now factories are closed and ‘business’ shipped overseas all at the expense of the British worker, offering no hope of a future for our youngsters in the job market. It’s a shocking state of affairs to be in just ninety-two years after that greatest loss of young British blood.

But that sacrifice need not have been in vain. It is still in the hands of the British people to stop this destruction of our country and culture because each individual over the age of 18 has the power to use their vote at election times to return our country back to its true British and Christian roots.

So remember, at local and national elections and next years EU election make sure you use your vote to change things. Remember our Young Lions of 1916 who sacrificed their lives for our freedom, then support, join and vote BNP.

I am sure you have all read the report in the Dail Mail entitled ‘Queen of scarves’ read here on the state visit of the Queen to Turkey and how she dressed appropriately to respect the muslim faith while visitng a 15th century mosque.

This is all we ask of muslims in our country, respect our culture!

What is a shame is that muslims do not feel the need to conform to our cultures and ways of life. They do not show us the same respect but instead force us to adopt our ways in OUR country this has to stop! Unlike the other political parties that seem to want us to change our ways I am glad to say the BNP wants an end to this political correctness that is changing the UK and brain washing our children.

The old parties have failed rural Scotland. Its time for ordinary decent people, like us, to join together to support a party that is committed to restoring our freedoms defending our traditions and putting our own people first in our own land.

BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY SCOTLAND

We want sustainable rural communities-which means the provision of affordable housing and local facilities such as farmers co-operatives,
shops, post offices, medical centres and schools to support those communities.

We want a massive expansion in rural sited small scale and environmentally friendly industry to revitalise our rural economies-coupled with the payment of decent wages for those employed within such enterprises.

We want a ‘Return to the land’ programme to rejuvenate farming and agricultural production-with financial inducements and training provided to encourage young families into farming and smallholding.

We want Scotland out of the EU and an end to the ruinous CAP/CFP legislation that have wrecked our vital farming and fishing industries-we will protect our producers where they face unfair competition from imported produce.

Above all we want a vibrant working countryside where families live and raise their children to respect both neighbour and nature-having pride in their national identity and our Scottish traditions, history, heritage, countryside and way of life.

Dear Editior,

Your report that Trevor Phillips, the Chairman for the Commission of Equality and Human Rights has produced a moral gaffe beyond belief even for some one as hysterical as he makes it clear how far the remarkable results produced by the British National Party in the recent English Local Government Elections have had on him and doubtless those of his persuasion. He actually said that the British National Party and its supporters should be treated as “less than human”.

Before the final total of votes cast for the British National Party in this recent electoral contest is made public it can be forecast that the 654 candidates are expected to have polled between a quarter and a half a million votes.

Where in Manifesto, spoken word or action is there any justification for this deliberate demonising of a party which is seen by a rapidly increasing number of people in Britain as a beacon of hope for many and a frightening nemesis for the LibLabCon Axis?

Sir,

I am writing to you to show my disgust, at your proposals to open up an Islamic School in Glasgow. It is obvious that you see Scotland as a country unfit for your own children, especially our schools that the rest of the population have to make do with.
You go on about integration and understanding when all you want is segregation, and for the Scottish people to bow to Islam.
You do not want to integrate and these plans perfectly show how your community want no place in Scottish society. You are using our country to spread your medieval religion that treats woman like second class citizens.

Why is it that girls have to be taught separately from boys, we know the reason.

May I suggest that if you want to set up Islamic schools that you do it in a Islamic country, more suited to your needs.
At a time when most of our nation quite rightly views Muslims with suspicion, due to various terrorists activities, I would have thought that your community would be keeping a low profile, but not you Muslims, we have them asking for Sharia law up in Aberdeen, Universities in Edinburgh and Dundee, and now primary schools in Glasgow. Added to that the promise from the SNP of Islamic schools in Dundee.

This is a christian country, Its time you lot realised that and started to live the British way, if you do not like our customs and way of life please leave. It was my father and grandfather and thousands like them that fought and died for this country, not yours Habib.

Perhaps you may do well to remember that.

I wonder if a Christian school will be allowed to be set up in Saudi Arabia.

If you really are the tolerant religion may I suggest that you try and tolerate this country for what it is without trying to change it, but then looking around the world Islams evidence of tolerance is not a positive one is it.

Please if you feel the need to live an Islamic life do it in a Islamic country, If you make that choice I will give you all the support in the world for I truly believe that people should have a homeland that matches there beliefs and way of life.

That’s why I live in Christian Scotland, not Saudi, or Iran or Pakistan.

Yours sincerely

A Christian solider

It has been reported that the Glasgow Central Mosque is in the process of setting up a Nursery/ Primary school in Glasgow.

You can download your own copy of this letter (click image) and read for yourself how they intend to fund it by charging each pupil a fee. Nothing wrong with this I hear but how about child benefit being donated to it?

How much more longer do the people of Britain need to put up with the likes of this filth being allowed to setup in our towns and cities. It is not us indiginous people creating ghettos but the mass immigration that are creating them as there hordes crawl across the land like some red weed from ‘H.G. Wells War of the Worlds’.

Its time to stop this vile invasion and protest against its creation. The SNP encourage such places as they believe Scotland needs immigrants to survive. Make a stand, if not for yourself, for your children. You can find your regional British National Party representitive here.

Glasgow south side was the venue for another successful paper sale this weekend. It was conducted in the beautiful sunshine, which was a welcome boost to our efforts.

Let`s hope the sun continues to shine for us next Saturday, as it has on the fortunes of the Party nationally!

Organiser Charlie Baillie with new fund holder Max Dunbar at Glasgow and West meeting.

This months meeting kicked off with reports of the BNP successes in the London Assembly and local Council elections in England, which were enthusiastically received by members, many of who will look forward to uniting with friends in England at this years Red White and Blue Family Festival in August!

An update on the restructuring of BNP Scotland followed; all welcomed the merging of Glasgow with West Scotland.

Guest speaker, John Robertson, prospective BNP EU election candidate, gave an informative talk on the recent Grangemouth Refinery strike.

An Interval with Freedom paper sales followed, with future Voice of freedom sales for the next few Saturdays in Glasgow being confirmed.

After the break the Strategy 2008 document was issued for all members to analyse prior to the June Scottish Office meeting where it is due to be discussed by Scottish officials.

The meeting finished up with an open discussion for all members to raise any issues of concern.

Glasgow and West BNP will be hosting a barbecue in June, which was enthusiastically endorsed, and agreed to hold a car boot sale in the near future.

Meeting closed and next meeting was announced as June 12th.

If you would like more information on these or any other events please contact Charlie Baillie.

Employment

Over 10% of the working population in Britain today are migrants.

Migrants, including over 600,000 in the public sector, have taken some 54% of all new jobs created in Britain since Labour came to power in 1997.

Migrants working in British agriculture have increased by over 200% since 2004.

The British government plans to force employers to pay for English language lessons for migrants.

It has been estimated that over 90,000 British skilled workers are now out of work because of the migration of cheap labour from Eastern Europe since 2004. Some have even had to sell their homes because they no longer able to keep up mortgage payments.

Herefordshire has seen an increase of 933% in the number of foreigners registering for British national insurance numbers since 2003. In South Holland, Lincolnshire, the increase was 810%. Corby, Northamptonshire, is one of the most depressed towns in Britain. Its increase in new national insurance numbers issued to foreigners over the same period was 892%. But even that was not sufficient to prevent the local prison service sacking 80 white British staff on the grounds that the offices should relocate to Leicester to meet ethnic employment targets.

Less than 20% of all Somalis in Britain have a legitimate job. The rest live off the British taxpayer and/or undeclared earnings. Given that Somalis are noted for their Islamic militancy, the obvious question is: why are they here?

Over 75% of all Nigerians in Britain have a proper job.

When the costs of supporting the families of all migrants arriving since 1997 are taken into account, the figures show migration has not been an economic benefit. Output per British worker has gone down.

How hypocritical can the Cameron Tories get?

In an effort to persuade the distressed masses of indigenous Britons in the English cities that the immigration crisis is the fault of Nu-Labour the Tories are demanding “restrictions” on migrant levels. It has taken them a long time to come around to this assertion.

The Tories should come clean on the issue of immigration to this country. They are every bit as culpable as Nu-Labour in opening the floodgates of the UK to the mass immigration which is damaging not only our economy and social structure but the very identity of the British people.

When the mouthpieces of the LibLabCon Axis point out to the British electorate that because the reproductive rates of indigenous and immigrant women are so widely different that it is only a matter of five or six decades until the native English will be a minority in their own country we will then know that they talking sense and not their usual hot air.

It has been reported that a primary school in Huntly, Aberdeenshire has taught P2 six year old pupils on how to pray to Allah.

This involved not only reading passages from an ‘English’ version of the Koran but also how to use the compass and prayer mat.

This has all been carried out without parents being made aware that their children will be exposed to this type of ‘Religious Education’.

Concerned parents are taking this serious issue to the headmaster and to the board of govenors and if needed to the Councils Education Department.

Further information will be made available as we are informed of developments, watch this space.

UPDATE

Parents met with a representative of the school to express their concerns as was told that it is part of the Scottish education curriculum for 5 to 14 year old children and in the future they may visit a mosque! This is a step to far and the child will no longer be taught this new PC correct version of ‘Religious Moral Education’ (RME).

North East Scotland Region of the British National Party had a very positive fund raising event at Thainston Car Boot on Sunday 4th May, raising a substantial amount of money.

A high profile was shown with all the flags of our nation flying proudly. Many People showed their support and we had very positive feedback from the crowded marketplace.

Big thank you to the members who took part and special mention to Mike and John for their support on the day. We look forward to our next car boot in the near future and welcome any help etc from members and supporters.

Since the fantastic result in England was announced the Scottish Office has been bombarded with requests for information, many asking how many councillors we have in Scotland!

These are people waking up to the fact that voting for the mainstream parties changes nothing, as in England people are turning to the BNP in ever increasing numbers and now realise that we are a party worth voting for, no longer a protest vote but a very real alternative to the old gang of four.

We may not have any elected councillors yet, but rest assured we will have.

If you have been inspired by our success down south and wish to see councillors in Scotland then join us today raising the profile of the BNP, become a prospective candidate in your area, lend a hand with your local leafleting team or organise a paper sale in your home town, simply contact your regional organiser for advice and help, together we will make a difference.

On Saturday 3rd of May a Mid Scotland & Fife leafleting team targeted Gordon Brown’s back yard in Kirkcaldy.

The new ‘Where we Stand’ leaflet was distributed along with the ‘Brown: A Legacy of Failure’ leaflet, the latter being specific to the Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath area, where we will have a prospective parliamentary candidate for the next Westminster election.

This was the first time this area has seen a presence from the British National Party, and was certainly a surprise to the SNP members also distributing leaflets!

They eventually approached a member of the team and asked if they could have a couple of leaflets. No doubt the news will be rapidly spreading throughout the ranks of the Scottish Nationals that we have now appeared on the scene.

An Activist from the Glasgow region also attended and happily distributed leaflets with us. Thank you for your help and support.
