Another New BNP Branch Launched: Bromsgrove Hits the Ground Running By TITVS ADVXAS

More than 70 people attended the inaugural meeting of the new British National Party branch in Bromsgrove last night, firmly establishing the party in yet another part of the West Midlands in the ongoing fight to keep Britain British.

It was their first ever BNP meeting for most of those attending and the enthusiastic response showed that they were in the struggle for the long haul. Over £250 was raised for party funds on the night, he added.

The new group was created with the help of BNP South Birmingham and the ever hardworking Liz Wainwright, who led the party’s charge into Bromsgrove by arranging no less than nine candidates (herself included) who stood for election for the first time in the recent Bromsgrove county council elections.

Speakers for the night included local activists who spelled out the branch’s plans for the next year. Mike Bell and Birmingham organiser Richard Lumby also took questions from the floor. All the speakers were in fine form and gave impassioned talks which were well received by the crowd.

West Midlands regional organiser Alwyn Deacon attended and told local activists how impressed he was with the progress already made in Bromsgrove. “This is another area in the West Midlands with a promising future,” he said.

United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

Use this link to view the full Declaration

Adopted by General Assembly Resolution 61/295 on 13 September 2007 Affirming that indigenous peoples are equal to all other peoples, while recognising the right of all peoples to be different, to consider themselves different, and to be respected as such. Reaffirming that indigenous peoples, in the exercise of their rights, should be free from discrimination of any kind. Recognising the urgent need to respect and promote the inherent rights of indigenous peoples which derive from their political, economic and social structures and from their cultures, spiritual traditions, histories and philosophies, especially their rights to their lands, territories and resources. Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain and strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social and cultural institutions, while retaining their right to participate fully, if they so choose, in the political, economic, social and cultural life of the State.

ROLL OF SHAME

They once considered themselves ‘socialists’, but the recent list of expenses claimed by our 645 Members of Parliament exposes Labour members as the hypocrites they truly are!

1. Shahid Malik (Lab) £185,421
2. Liam Byrne (Lab, Hodge Hill) £178,116
3. Joan Ryan (Lab) £173,691
4. Dan Norris (Lab) £172,733
5. Tim Farron (Lib-Dem) £172,327
6. Frank Doran (Lab) £171,836
7. Angus MacNeil (SNP) £169,971
8. Tom Levitt (Lab) £168,660
9. Alex Salmond (SNP) £166,814
10. David Mundell (Con) £166,598

Anti-BNP hatemonger Shahid and Hodge Hill comedian Liam topped the free-loading chart, but how did the ten other Birmingham MPs fare …

88. Roger Godsiff (Lab, Sparkbrook & Small Heath) £150,059
108. Khalid Mahmood (Lab, Perry Barr) £148,666
113. Richard Burden (Lab, Northfield) £148,447
139. Lynne Jones (Lab, Selly Oak) £146,793
167. Siôn Simon (Lab, Erdington) £145,444
196. Andrew Mitchell (Con, Sutton Coldfield) £143,965
278. Steve McCabe (Lab, Hall Green) £140,352
382. Gisela Stuart (Lab, Edgbaston) £134,870
388. Clare Short (Ind, Ladywood) £134,408
394. John Hemming (Lib-Dem, Yardley) £134,220

The combined expenses of Birmingham’s eleven MPs for this period was £1,605,340. Is that value for money or just being taken for a ride?

PATRIOTIC POETRY & READINGS

The footer blog of the Birmingham Patriot will contain poetry and readings that stir the patriot from within. I have decided to start with a famous one from Kipling, which as far as I can determine was written during The Great War. Well he does make exceedingly good poems! This is followed by a personal all time favourite, The St Crispins Speech from Henry V, by Black Country Boy Billy Shakespeare. Again please email me with suggestions birminghampatriot@hotmail.com

The Beginnings

IT WAS not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved
Ere the English began to hate.

Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.

Rudyard Kipling written during the period 1914-18.

Excerpt from Henry V

This day is called the Feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a-tiptoe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall see this day and live t'old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian":
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now abed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

William Shakespeare 1599
