After being waved down by bin men keen to get their hands on leaflets for themselves and work mates the team stopped for a tea break and were relieved of a number of papers by someone whose girl friend had seen us out in Aberdeen the day before, the word seems to be spreading, the BNP have arrived!

Mr Orr told the news team “I would like to mention Mark McGarry, he is 19 years old and went out by himself last week posted 60 ‘Voice of Freedoms’ and over a 100 leaflets. Mark has also arranged for a local pakistani shopkeeper to sell our ‘Voice of Freedom’, amazing!! Mark cares for his mum full-time, he is a shy chap and refuses any recognition but is a great activist, I look forward to hearing what he has been up to at the next meeting”.

Glasgow meeting report

March 4, 2010

imagesthistle2
Glasgow BNP met on Wednesday evening at the usual Glasgow City Centre venue. Thirty patriot members attended the meeting and the atmosphere was friendly with everyone feeling a real sense of unity and agreeing that we are fighting for one common purpose. The meeting was treated to a talk by a local member who has a wealth of knowledge on any subject and is a very entertaining speaker. he spoke about the real dangers we, the British people, face with the Islamification of Europe and the treacherous left wing politicians and media.

The latter part of the evening was dedicated to open discussion as this gives everyone a chance to air their views and feel as though they are contributing to the meeting. A new member has offered to write articles for the website and someone with resources in the entertainment industry has offered to help out at future events such as the RWB.

Another trip to Barking and Dagenham is being planned shortly. Some more members have volunteered to make the journey down South so Glasgow will be able to field a larger contingency. Other branches have also indicated their interest in travelling to London with Glasgow.

A tasty buffet was available and at the end of the evening a fantastic collection of £470 was made – the best collection at a Glasgow meeting in a long time. Well done to everyone who attended and we hope to see you all again next month. Can we just remind everyone that tickets for the forthcoming Road Show on 27th March are selling fast, so please order early to avoid disappointment. Tickets can be purchased from the Glasgow and West of Scotland Organiser, Hammy. Telephone: 0771 7774730.

March events

March 2, 2010

tt2
March is set to be a busy time for BNP Scotland, with meetings being held in Aberdeen, Lothian’s and Glasgow in the first week, followed by a week long visit from the Truth truck touring all the seats we are contesting, then finishing with the BNP General Election fund raising road show including live music as well as an address from National Chairman Nick Griffin on the 27th.

Aberdeen will also see the first BNP bill board in Scotland going up as we continue to take our message to the people.

Along with paper sales and leafleting sessions already taking place across the regions this will greatly raise the BNP’s profile in the run up to what promises to be a very interesting election.

As always we need more activists to help out, if you want to get involved please contact your sub-regional organiser or the Scottish office.

Flying the flag in Aberdeen

March 1, 2010

Cults Hotel

Aberdeen BNP took to the Streets of Cults on Saturday and had a very productive day indeed. “Apart from a left-wing-supporting business trying to disrupt our campaigning, our four-strong team still managed to distribute over 400 leaflets and hand-out almost 100 newspapers to local residents” the North east organiser reported.

A large BNP banner was temporarily erected on council land to mark our presence in the village and was acknowledged by passing motorists who sounded their horns in support. The local hotel manager took great offence to this and decided to call the police, presumably to have us arrested or forcibly ‘moved-on’.

“The police arrived and could instantly see that we were not up to anything illegal or offensive and were quite happy to leave us to it”, said candidate, Susan Ross. “The police informed the hotel manager that there was nothing they could do because we were not breaking the law, the manager saying he only had a problem with the banner because it looks like my hotel supports the BNP”.
Cults
As a gesture of goodwill, the team made the decision to take the banner down and continue campaigning without it thus allowing our hard-working police officers to concentrate on the protection of our communities.

The police officers were visibly annoyed and embarrassed at having to waste their time in dealing with such a ridiculous call out.

“Not only has the manager of the hotel wasted tax-payers cash with his personal attack on democratic freedom of speech, he also wasted the valuable resources of the ‘financially stretched’ Grampian Police who could have used their time questioning us to catch drug dealers and thieves”, activist Steve Thomsom added.

“BNP Scotland vehemently opposes the blatant exploitation of our police force for the purpose of ‘political posturing’ and will not be dictated to when it comes to our choice of campaign locations. Our campaiging is always peaceful, our activists polite and we always place the interests of the community first” organiser Barry Scott concluded.

Joe Finnie leading the way on paper sales

March 1, 2010

BNP17
A team of activists, led by Renfrewshire official Joe Finnie, braved the freezing temperatures once again to sell the Voice of Freedom at Ibrox on Sunday 28th February.
The team sold 200 papers in just two hours and notched up an impressive £113 for party funds. They also had 15 enquiries regarding the forthcoming Glasgow meeting. Joe has also kindly offered to help our Lothian region sell papers, thereby spreading the BNP message across the East coast of Scotland. All branches are encouraged to become involved in selling the VoF as this is an effective method of reaching the general public who are beginning to wake up to the seriousness threat our country is facing from this treacherous Government. Our thanks to Paul Kennedy, Jim Boyd and
Mick Brady who helped big Joe. Other sporting venues, such as Rugby grounds will also be considered for future paper sales.

Walter Hamilton and Joe T Finnie from Glasgow and West BNP offered the group advice on leafleting, paper sales and election tactics. Joe informed the group that they would have use of the Truth truck in March.

Next North east meeting

February 25, 2010

imageslogo2

Fellow Patriots,

It is IMPERATIVE that we all attend the next meeting on: Wednesday 3rd March, 7PM

As you may or may not know, the BNP’s ‘Truth Truck’ is to tour North East Scotland in mid March.
This, as you can imagine, will generate a lot of Party Awareness and we need to back this up with street campaigning after the truck has gone home.

At this Meeting we will Organise a ‘Mobile Campaign Machine’ where a Dedicated and Ruthless Team of Volunteers (ie: the willing amongst us) will hand out Party Leaflets/Papers and talk face-to-face with the General Public as well as distribute Leaflets to Homes.

We will muster as much People, Posters, Banners, Papers, Leaflets and Signage as we can and take this Campaign Machine to Banff & Buchan, Gordon and Aberdeen Districts.

We all know how limited we are in terms of Willing Activists so we must all Commit and Work as one United Team.

Please email me any other ideas/suggestions or bring them to the meeting.

NOW is the Time We All Do Our Bit!

Regards,

Barry Scott, North east regional organiser

A message from the Scottish leader

February 24, 2010

DSC00947

Even though it seems like the world is rushing headlong towards its own destruction the BNP looks to be developing more self-discipline, professionalism, and external respect, which is what is needed if it is to continue to survive and grow.
Mark you, the cards are still stacked against us, as many brain-washed fellow Britons still see the BNP as a threat to their own peace of mind and daily we still encounter their residual prejudices. However with each deal of the cards our hand is getting stronger. Perhaps one day in the not to distant future others will look to us to find some sort of order in their own lives.
The face of Britain as we know it is changing, as is the world at large. We must make changes ourselves to meet this new world. However, there is a tendency in some quarters to take the attitude that such changes cannot affect us and whatever happens we in the BNP will stay the same. I am afraid that view is sadly wrong and to think like that is a trap. We must continue to become more organised to adapt and become more aware of the world in which we operate in, or we will simply not be here in twenty years time to do anything about it.
If we are to preserve our hereditary way of life and restore our identity, freedom, security and democracy we must stand up and be counted, and be willing to fight to preserve our way of life. This can be done in a number of ways, most importantly by joining and becoming active in your local BNP group. Stand as a BNP candidate in local and national elections, make donations etc. If there is no local group in your area become a contact and start one!
The Governments of the day will continue to play on people’s fears and paranoia about anything that is different to current mainstream society, and use misinformation and public prejudice in an attempt to maintain a world of their own, where they can remain unchallenged in order to drive us all down any path they choose.
We must do all we can to stop the rot. By being a strong person, by doing something different you have already made a statement of individuality by joining and supporting the BNP.
Don’t ever lose faith, fight to preserve this simple freedom and support others who do the same. We can then hopefully build a better future for ourselves and our children and give life to some of the freedoms we are in danger of losing.

Please contact your nearest organiser or the Scottish office with your offer of help.

Regional organisers training event

February 22, 2010
ot 005Scottish leader Gary Raikes and Glasgow organiser Walter Hamilton made the long trip South to attend the regional organisers training event this weekend.

Management style work shops show how the party is progressing as does the turn out of over thirty officials from around Britain under-taking training in a high class venue.

ot 003

Mr. Raikes told news team, “This was a busy weekend for myself and Mr. Hamilton which started on Friday with a meeting with a Scottish journalist who has taken a real interest in our party’s growth and potential, this was followed by another meeting this time with an old friend and ex Deputy chairman of the BNP Scott McLean. I am happy to say that Mr. McLean will be back working for BNP Scotland in the near future. Scott is someone I really respect who has a life time of involvement with the nationalist movement behind him his experience will be invaluable to us”.

ot 008

“After Saturdays training finished we had a chance to catch up with all the other officials to see how things are in their regions, it would seem we are all plagued by the same problems at one time or another yet all remain dedicated to the cause. Sunday we took part in a ‘how to argue’ exercise, something we are very good at here in Scotland! This was an interesting task which Hammy took to like a duck to water, the fact Paul from Essex couldn’t understand his Glaswegian accent helped somewhat, as Jim Dowson said ‘people in Glasgow make saying good morning sound like a death threat’! Cant work out if that’s racist or not”!

During the weekend the pair managed to secure the Truth truck for a weeks tour of our target seats in March, more on that later.

BNP Cllr Paul Golding in Granite City

February 18, 2010

Paul Golding Abdn
Paul Golding whipped up a frenzy on Tuesday night at the Aberdeen Branch Monthly meeting.
Local Activists and Members were left buzzing with enthusiasm after Paul gave an enthralling and motivating speech.

The evening kicked off with an branch update from Organiser, Barry Scott, who explained the progress that Aberdeen was making in terms Party Awareness, “this is a direct result of our increased weekly street Campaigning” he reported.
“and more and more Aberdonians are coming round to our way of thinking”.

After Paul’s passionate speech, the considerable sum of over £300 was raised in donations that will go towards the Branch’s General Election Campaign costs.
“Considering we had an admirable total of 32 attendees at the meeting, it was a fantastic top-up to our Branch funds”
Candidate, Susan Ross said.

At the interval, a superb buffet was served and allowed new potential members to chat with Paul Golding and Scottish Leader, Gary Raikes which resulted in two membership applications that will be processed after the ban has been lifted.
Members old and new had a chance to catch up and discuss what Aberdeen should do to spread the word of the BNP presence in the City.

The evening ended with a Question and Answer Session where activists quizzed Paul on his ‘Recipe for Success’ Campaigning techniques that led to his Election as Councillor in Swanley, Kent.
Paul emphasised the importance of Canvassing and face to face communication with Voters.
“The advice gained from Paul will be utilised to great effect in Aberdeen, Gordon and Banff & Buchan Districts where four Candidates in total will stand. We aim to Campaign vigorously to show the electorate that there is a party out there worthy of their vote”. Gary Raikes reported.

February 9, 2010

BNP14

BNP Scotland held an organisers meeting on Sunday 7th to discuss the General Election. Topics included candidate admin, dealing with the media and campaign tactics.
Ten confirmed prospective candidates will be standing in Scotland we hope to make that up to twelve to reach the target we set ourselves last year.

Aberdeen organiser, Barry Scott reported that his group will be putting up two billboards to aid Susan Ross’s campaign, a first for the BNP in Scotland, we are also hoping to secure the truth truck for a tour of our target seats backed up by a newspaper campaign based on the Barking paper used down south which Glasgow Organiser Walter Hamilton and other Scottish officials helped distribute in Nick Griffins seat.

A new organiser for Lothian’s was appointed to build on the good work done by Mike Coyle who sadly due to family bereavement has had to stand down from the role. I know all BNP members will wish him and his family well, we are all thinking of you at this difficult time.
BNP9
Taking over from Mike will be David Orr Jnr whose father has been one of our longest serving activists and a prospective candidate in the coming election.

Photographs were taking by our own professional photographer, Dave Jeffries, who will be on hand to capture activities through out the campaign.

A fundraising evening with guest speaker Cllr Paul Golding will be held in Aberdeen on Feb 17th followed by another event in Glasgow in March with Chairman Nick Griffin or another high profile speaker. This weekend activists from Glasgow are travelling to Aberdeen to help Susan’s campaign. BNP Scotland have candidates standing in all North east seats in this election another first, one of many more to come!

KIncorth3

Aberdeen BNP took to the streets once again on Saturday, this time in the Aberdeen South area of Kincorth where they were met with the warmest of welcomes yet to be experienced on the streets of Aberdeen.
“It was as if the residents of Kincorth had been counting down the days until our arrival!” a spokesman said.
Kincorth1
Candidate, Susan Ross said that “the majority of people just wanted to talk to us about what we should do to help their area”. High levels of crime appeared to be the biggest issue with local redidents and many felt that it was ruining the good reputation that Kincorth has always had.
“Kincorth would improve over-night if we got more Bobbies patrolling the streets like they used to do” a resident said.
“More for teenagers to do at night would be a good start” said another.
Kincorth2
As well as the usual distribution of countless leaflets and newspapers, many good friends,supporters and voters were gained in Kincorth and we look forward to returning in the very near future, Organiser Barry Scott said.

The day ended with a well earned visit to the local establishment ‘The Abbott’ or ‘The Covey’s’ as it is known locally, for a refreshment.

ABERDEEN BNP
ARE HONOURED TO HAVE THE PLEASURE OF THE COMPANY OF:

Cllr Paul Golding

Back in February 2009 the BNP gained its first Councillor in South East England when Paul Golding was elected in Swanley, Kent with an overwhelming 41 percent of the vote.

Paul has been a patriot all his life and is immensely proud of his British ancestry and heritage.

Paul first joined the British National Party in 1999 aged 17, and has been very interested in history, politics and the Cause of British Nationalism all his life.

Paul is the BNP’s Projects Coordinator, and is responsible for publicity, campaigns and raising money to fund the Party. He regularly travels the country speaking at meetings and organising BNP campaigns.

Paul has a 2 year old beautiful daughter.

Paul’s great-grandfather fought to defend Britain in the Second World War and was captured at Dunkirk in 1940, something which spurs Paul on to help defend Britain against immigration, colonisation and the treason of the old parties and the lying left-wing media.

ON TUESDAY 16TH FEBRUARY
IN ABERDEEN CITY CENTRE.

Dear All,

Paul is a fantastic and inspiring public speaker and this is your opportunity to see and hear him in action.
This event will officially launch our General Election Campaign in Aberdeen and Scotland so, YOU NEED TO BE THERE!

Richard Payne to stand in Banff Buchan

January 23, 2010

P9080119
BNP Scotland are happy to announce prospective candidate for Banff Buchan Richard Payne.

Mr. Payne told news team, ” I am a Nationalist , a family man ,a fabricator/welder , a biker , an archer , a golfer , and a proud member of the Scottish BNP.I have an extremely deep mistrust and skepticism of the motives and honesty of all the mainstream politicians regardless of which of the virtually identical parties they come from , also of the popular medias version of truth and reality . Both appear to float one part truth to nine parts lies and expect everyone to swallow the lot I was raised as a Presbyterian in a Presbyterian home in two Christian countries ( The UK and Canada ) and am deeply adverse to Islam spreading into the west and changing the very fabric of our society . I am saddened and also shocked at how quickly we are losing the battle against crime , ignorance , and immorality in the UK and the west in general . I am disgusted at how brainwashed our kids are , and how poorly educated in the most basic of literacy skills like writing and numeracy ,yet knowing all their “rights” and all the while dismissing the basic rights of others”.

Richard will be standing to give the voters in the North east a real choice for the first time. Real change or more of the same its up to you!
