The Sunday Mail editorial , 25 October 2009, tries to smear the BNP by attempting to associate us with something called the “Scottish Defence League”.

The BNP in Scotland has made our position on this group very clear in the statement which was issued by BNP Scottish leader Gary Raikes, in our Scottish newsletter, The Bugle, sent to every member in Scotland on the 9th October.

The statement is worth repeating once again:

ADVISORY regarding “SDL” March

Finally, it has been brought to my attention in a report in The Sunday Post (20 Sept) that something called “the Scottish Defence League” is wanting to hold an anti-Islam rally in the centre of Glasgow on 14 November.

This group has absolutely nothing to do with the BNP. While we would not expect any of our members to be anywhere near this march, it must nevertheless be made clear to every member of the BNP in Scotland, via the pages of this newsletter, that any member of the BNP seen at this march, or anywhere near this march on that day, will be subject immediately to disciplinary proceedings.

On the return trip from the recent AC meeting in England I dropped in with Clive Jefferson to view the new NW office. The team that carried out all the work in getting the office up and running have carried out a first rate job and are to be congratulated on their hard graft.

Clive went over the campaign for the Glasgow by-election and how it should be run, this all depends on getting feet on the street of course, if you can get involved please contact our candidate Charlie Baillie who will be grateful to receive any offers of help.

Before leaving Clive made sure the car was loaded up with election material to take back up the road, which will be dropped off to the Glasgow team at this weekends Scottish officials meeting, where the strategy for fighting this and future elections will be discussed, expect a call from your local organiser over the next few weeks as we rally the troops to aid the campaign.
