The BNP: A Point of Light

A very fair article in today’s Sunday Herald (1 November 2009)

This illustrates the extent to which the British National Party in Scotland is growing and developing into a credible alternative, which stands a chance of having a candidate elected at the 2011 Scottish election, or perhaps more probably in 2015.
The Sunday Herald reporter was at our launch on Tuesday night and he writes:
“True to the BNP’s ’suits not boots’ rebranding, there are no skinheads, no fixed scowls at the press, and almost no tattoos on show. Most people are in their 30s and 40s, with women making up about a fifth of the crowd.”
The report quotes quite a bit from our Glasgow North East candidate, Charlie Baillie’s enjoyable and colourful speech, including his paraphrasing of the Randy Travis song, “Point of Light”.
As the article says: “Mr Baillie detects a ‘darkness’ threatening Britain. ‘It’s a darkness everyone must face. That darkness covers everything in sight. It needs a single point of light. The BNP is that single point of light. We alone stand for the survival of this nation and will secure a future for British children,’ he says.”
Charlie and his team need all the help they can get for the by-election on Thursday 12 November 2009. If you can help Charlie and his team to provide the Point of Light for the electorate in Glasgow North East, then please give him a call on 07827 811008.
Now is the time to come forward – and if you cannot campaign physically, please donate to us financially by sending a cheque payable to “BNP-Scotland” or “British Heritage” and sending to PO Box 11815, Turriff, AB53 8WB.
There is a point, when you cannot walk away.
When you have to stand up straight and tall,
and mean the words you say.
There is a point you must decide,
just to do it ’cause it’s right.
That’s when you become a point of light!
There is a darkness, that everyone must face.
It wants to take what’s good and fair
and lay it all to waste.
And that darkness covers everything in sight.
Until it meets a single point of light!
Point of Light, Randy Travis, 1991
From what I've seen thus far (and it's early days for me), there are many points of light already gleaming in the darkness in this part of the world. I am sure that these will grow in number over time, eventually banishing the darkness and heralding the dawn of the political renaissance in Scotland. We have a very bright future to look forward to.
Now call Nick Griffin MEP BNP a liar if you dare.

yes it is the first paper that has ever wrote a true article and not twisted the truth was at the meeting and must say nick and the top table were very professional in there comments and quotes.{ god bless the BNP }
It's important to remember that 'newspapers' are, first and foremost, businesses. And while it's true that they try to push their own agenda, there comes a time when they realise that they are falling out of step with their readership. And as they don't want to lose their customers, their vitriol against the BNP gradually thaws. Funnily enough, my mother said to me only the other day that the usual 'limpet adjectives' seem to get less and less. It used to be the 'vile BNP' or 'the odious Nick Griffin', but now, as I've noticed too, it's just the BNP and Mr Griffin, Nick Griffin or simply Nick. The BNP's Operation Fightback has certainly played a part in letting editors know that support for the BNP is growing, and that they'd better take note!
I dd drop an e.mail to the journalist to thank him for his fair article
