Scottish Lib-Dems leadership contender Ross Finnie has warned his party that they are failing to attract voters.

Mr Finnie said despite Labour being “fatally wounded” and the SNP failing to deliver on many of its manifesto promises the Lib Dims were “not making electoral progress”.

He added “We have failed to connect with the voters”.

More to the point is that the voters have disconnected from PC Liberalism.

People are now seeing and feeling the result of decades of ‘nanny state liberalism’ and a move towards traditional family values, the restoration of real law and order, respect for others, discipline etc is under way, and the British National Party hold the torch that lights the path.

Where we lead others follow, this motto has never been truer.

The growing knife culture in Scotland reached a worrying new level on the weekend. A mass brawl involving up to twenty people armed with swords and other bladed weapons left one man dead and four others seriously wounded in hospital.

Thirty-two year old Charles Bowman bled to death in a normally quiet residential street in the Carmyle area of Glasgow.

Murder squad detectives are investigating claims that Mr Bowman was moan down by a car and then hacked to death with a machete after a row about a girl erupted into a bloody gang fight.

Dozens of Strathclyde Police officers, a support unit and a fleet of paramedic and ambulance vehicles attended the scene.

They found Mr Bowman dying and four other men in their twenties lying in the street with serious injuries.

Detectives have appealed for any one who may have witnessed the disturbance to contact police.

Roy Jones, North East Organiser, reports a successful day leafleting in Huntly, one of our target wards for the next local council elections. Only one person returned the leaflet, or rather screwed it up and threw into his next door neighbours garden, the purple faced gentleman, who had some choice words to say to one of the activist’s, turned out to be a local SNP councillor!

Roy went on to say: “ we had a good days leafleting and must of covered half the town before the rain turned up, I would like to thank the guys who came through from Aberdeen and hope to see them at the coming paper sale and planned boot sale”.

It is hoped to have target wards in every region by 2011 and we are now well on the way to achieving that, if you can help a campaign in your area please contact us.

 The recent reports that Aberdeen City Councils budget deficit was not £27 million but a staggering £50 million must surely prompt a renewed call for Kate Dean and the current administration to stand down.

The appointment of consultants to try and sort their mess out at a cost to the tax payer of £300,000 is yet another example of the contempt this council has for the electorate.

Having got into this unprecedented position, with difficulties so wide ranging it must now be obvious to all but the council itself that they lack the skill or ability to resolve it, once again we say,” it is time to go”!

A new survey has found that more than half of Scots businesses are planning job cuts in response to the economic downturn. It says that Scottish firms have been hit by a “perfect storm” of dire economic conditions due to the turmoil in the global financial markets.

The National Business Confidence Survey, conducted by accountants KPMG, warned that the number of companies who are planning job cuts has almost doubled over the last three months.

Craig Anderson, head of KPMG in Scotland, said: “The clouds that were on the horizon when we first conducted this survey back in early spring are now right overhead, with businesses now feeling the impact of this so called ‘perfect storm’ of rising inflation, tightening credit conditions and plummeting consumer confidence, with six out of ten businesses looking to cut costs, redundancies may seem like the obvious, albeit painful solution.”

When the SNP finish gloating over their win in Glasgow East they might need reminding that although it demonstrates that Labours days are numbered only 42% turned out to vote, which does not bode well for all political parties.

And before Alex Salmond starts banging on about how this is another sign that Scotland wants independence he should take note of the numbers. Of those that bothered to turn out 11,277 did so for the SNP candidate, 14,896 voted for others and most importantly 26,112 did not vote at all.

Of course with the election to Westminster of John Mason a place on Baillieston council (ward 20 of Glasgow) which has four members will come up for election.

Our Scottish elections officer has confirmed that a prospective candidate has been chosen and the campaign will start ASAP.

The honours list is a grave cause for concern as these days, it seems that so called personalities make up the bulk of these awards.

These honours were intended for hero’s, persons who have excelled, done something beyond the normal to the benefit of the nation not dodgy drug riven deviants from the entertainment business.

Persons who I would consider for honours should be role models that the nation should look up to with pride and young people strive to imitate.

“No More Hero’s” sang the Stranglers in the late seventies, where are our hero’s?

They are out there forgotten, politically collectively contained, commercially unprofitable and unrecognised.

However how some talent less, unwashed big mouth can be deemed to have a right to be famous for even for 5 minutes is beyond me. Is this due to marketing, profit and greed by the decadent and corrupt media? The answer is obvious.

We the British are being bred to be losers and we are reaping the benefits as is being sown.

Sport, industry and representation of which we are in decline due to treacherous backstabbing vipers, which are destroying the nation.

We spend more on breeding horses than we do on breeding a winning race.

All of the sacrifice of two wars which now is a distant memory to those who never will know what it means to make the ultimate sacrifice.

To all who skulk behind the socialist ideals, your freedom is inherited not earned, paid for in blood by those who passed before you. Enjoy it now because there will be no one to turn to when the lights dim and finally go out.

Think about it.

With the expected results in the Glasgow East by-election early this morning it would seem that we were more than justified in not standing a candidate.

·                                 John Mason, SNP – 11,277

·                                 Margaret Curran, Labour – 10,912

·                                 Davena Rankin, Conservative - 1,639

·                                 Ian Robertson, Lib Dem - 915

·                                 Frances Curran, Scottish Socialist Party - 555

·                                 Tricia McLeish, Solidarity – 512

·                                 Dr Eileen Duke, Scottish Greens - 232

·                                 Chris Creighton, Independent – 67

·                                 Hamish Howitt, Freedom 4 Choice - 65

All the small parties and for that matter the Lib-Dems were squeezed by the struggle between the victorious SNP and the routed Labour party as we predicted. Also during the run up to the election the only parties to gain media publicity were the main four, every chat show, political show and news show were only interested in the fight for Labours survival and the coming earthquake Alex Salmond was forecasting.

To stand, as some suggested even a paper candidate, would have been shear folly and a waste of our limited funds. And before disgruntled nationalists start feverishly punching their key-boards let me remind them that the BNP has never contested a Westminster by-election in Scotland, as I said before we are in this for the long term, our time will come and when it does we will be more than willing and able.

All our efforts must be concentrated on the 2009 EU Elections along side our colleagues in the rest of Britain. Do not let those that try to derail us at every turn distract you from putting in 100% for your party in its quest to gain BNP MEP’s.

Are the alarm bells ringing yet?

Two immigrants were yesterday jailed for growing £207,000 worth of cannabis plants in a house in the Falkirk area.

Jhen De feng was jailed for 27 months and Bao Liang 22 months the pair could also face deportation.

Police said the set up in a house in a residential cul-de-sac had all the hallmarks of an organised crime group!

North east of Scotland will be holding another one of our ‘all town’ leafleting sessions on Sunday the 27th July commencing at 10 am, if you are interested in participating and becoming active please e-mail for further details and rendezvous points, etc.

Hope you are all digging out your unwanted items ready for our fund-raising car boot sale, and once again if you are interested in participating please do not hesitate to contact me, this will be held on Sunday the 17th August at Thainston Inverurie, please contact for pick up or drop off of items.

This will be preceded by a leafleting/paper sale on Saturday the 16th August in Aberdeen of which all activists are encouraged to participate.

If the fact that servicemen earn less than traffic wardens wasn’t bad enough it now seems that an Army private in Scotland would pay £600 a year under the SNP local income tax instead of a current annual bill of just £33.

Under the SNP plan tax would be set at 3p in the pound, replacing council tax. Servicemen and women have their council tax paid by the Ministry of defence, who take a deduction from their pay. The MoD said the income tax would lead to Scottish soldiers paying higher amounts.

There are about 13,000 Service personnel based in Scotland.

It is alarming that despite the certain knowledge that a net 75 million more people appear on planet Earth every year requiring food and resources, whose sum total declines in equal measure, no word of this has been mentioned at the G8 Summit talking shop at Hokkaido.

Diminishing world resources of all kinds become more expensive by the day. This latter fact has been admitted by G8 representatives only in voicing their selfish national interests. The root cause of the acute rise in demand for resources issuing from the exploding population numbers in the emerging new economies of China, India and South East Asia remains under wraps for fear that the logical succession in the discussion would be the issue of birth control in the Third World.

In the Developed World, particularly in Europe, populations are falling and total fertility rates are now well down below replacement levels. The exception to this trend is amongst Third World immigrants to Europe  who perpetuate the breeding habits of their societies of origin. A continuance of this demographic aspect will lead to a change in the ethnic balance of the West.

Financial and material aid to the Undeveloped World without the condition of birth restraint, particularly in Sub Saharan Africa, aggravates the problem of increasing poverty.

Ethiopia and the Sudan are prime examples of nations which critically require birth control to halt the inevitable and fatal advance of overpopulation.

In the readers’ letters page of this paper after the Gleneagles Summit in 2005 the question of why the overarching threat of Third World overpopulation was not raised there received no answer, nor today do any of the questions raised, rather timidly by that excellent pressure group, Optimum Population Trust.

The naked truth of the matter is that Third World overpopulation and the need to restrain its endless growth touches the raw nerve of world race relations and the imminence of a Coloured World Revolution now in evidence to those who are not blinded by the curse of political correctness.

Letter from press officer (published)

Figures released this week show that the SNP and previous Labour led Executive are presiding over a “soft-touch” Scotland.

The figures, released by Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill in a written parliamentary answer, showed that 10,964 breaches, other than absconding or re-offending, were committed by people after being bailed.

Glasgow was the worst with 2,297 bail offences, Dundee came next with 1,085, followed by Edinburgh at 974 and North Lanarkshire on 935.

Just another example of how offenders are allowed to flout the law and why the criminal justice system is in danger of a complete meltdown.

One of Scotland’s Muslim community leaders is facing jail after being found guilty of sexually abusing young girls.

A jury found Farooq Hussain guilty of carring out the abuse over a five year period.

The restaurateur who was a driving force in the Perth mosque was convicted after a week-long trial at Perth Sheriff Court.

Hussain groped and fondled a 15-year old girl at the Al farooq restaurant he owned in Perth on November 26,2002.

On July 1 or 2 last year he indecently assaulted a 14-year old girl in Perth, then attacked her again in the town on August 4.

Sentence was deferred for background reports and Hussain’s details were added to the Sex Offenders Register.

Over recent months I have been contacted by a number of people interested in finding out more about the party, sometimes on specific issues and others more of a general nature. To those that want an in depth view of the party they can do no better than subscribe to the excellent magazine of the British National Party’ Identity’.

This months issue has contributions from no less than three Scottish Officials, a piece from Mid-Scotland fund holder Alastair Harper a letter from Charlie Baillie, Glasgow and West Organiser, and an article from Bea Kaye, South of Scotland Organiser, all three have had previous articles published this year.

Identity is a must read for all serious nationalists and never fails to deliver an interesting morale boosting monthly read. You can subscribe on line for six or twelve issues at £17.50 or £35.00 visit www.identity.bnp.org.uk and order your copies now!

The Moslem councillor who Asked police to withdraw an advert featuring a puppy because it was offensive to the Islamic community, as reported recently, is selling dog food, alcohol and sex magazines in his family shop.

Mohammed Asif complained that Moslem shop keepers would not want to display a Tayside Police advert that included a picture of a German Shepard puppy because it would offend Moslems, the police apologised and withdrew the advert.

It has now emerged that Asif who is regularly behind the counter of his shop is more than happy to sell tins of dog food which display dogs on their labels along with “top shelf” magazines, spirits, beers and alcopops.

Will the Islamic community now refuse to shop with Mr Asif to avoid being offended by these items being on display?

As the debate over travellers illegal camps goes on and on its worth reporting what Sheriff Kieran McLernan has to say on the subject and hope the powers that be take note.

Sheriff McLernan stated that “Every member of the public is entitled to use every part of a public place.”

In other words you can not just turn up and plonk your caravan in the middle of a public park, lay-by or nature reserve when your very presence is preventing others from using the area.

And he went on to say that the law says no one can convert part of a public space into “a protected space for one’s own use.”

How often have we heard in recent years of residents being unable to access popular public recreational areas because of the presence of rogue travellers and their dogs. As the Sheriff said “you are not entitled to appropriate yourself a piece of ground you can control by having a fearsome dog guarding it.”

Yet how often is this the very case?

What have the following issues in common? Mandatory prison sentences for knife carrying, reinstatement of capital punishment, scrapping speed cameras, reintroduction of National service, life meaning life, stopping immigration, bringing the troops home and curbing the growth of Islam in Britain.

Apart from all appearing in the papers in one day! These are all BNP policies, think about that for a moment, the only political party that have all the policies that the man in the street want to see put into practice is the only party continuingly attacked by the press, that has a sustained campaign being undemocratically fought against it by third party groups backed by the establishment, and ask yourself why?

It is our duty to bring our party to the attention of the voting masses, we have to reach out to the people to inform them and let them see for themselves that the BNP is the party they have been waiting for. Every British Nationalist should pledge to increase our membership every time the chance presents itself.

To that end the Scottish Office over the next few weeks will be sending a letter with a number of leaflets to each and every one of our members urging people to become active in promoting the party in the run up to the EU Elections in their area of Scotland.

By calling card, by leaflet, by paper sale, by word of mouth, it is up to all of us to spread our message of hope to the embattled Scottish people.

To help in our struggle please contact the Scottish Office, Scotland@bnp.org.uk

Former servicemen and women from across Scotland are joining current personnel for Stirling’s Veterans Celebrations.

On Friday, the freedom of the city will be awarded to Lt Col Frank Saunders – a 102 year old veteran.

On Saturday, the main parade will take place featuring pipes, drums, parachutists, up to 1,000 veterans and a Tornado flypast.

The former personnel will also be given veterans badges and, on Sunday, a service of thanksgiving will be held.
