So where's the money Tanya Lumby?

At a recent meeting of The East Birmingham branch of the British National Party in Acocks Green, there was an unanswered controversy that unfolded before the bewildered eyes of members and other attendees.

The new fundholder had earlier been introduced as Mr Rob Offord, husband of Amanda Offord, both activists from Moseley.

A collection took place and money collected was, as is tradion, placed in a hat. 

Rather than new fund-holder Mr Offord count the money in the presence of the rest of the room, as is usual, instead the group organiser Tanya Jane Whitehead-Lumby, took the money away and counted it in private.

It was estimated by many there, and from 'known' donations that around £1500 was 'in the hat', including £500 from the host, and several £100 and £50 donations from working members.

Yet following Lumby's return, it was announced that £950 was collected.

Amid the gasps from dumbfounded open mouths the recently declared bankrupt Mrs Lumby thanked the room for their generosity!

Mrs Lumby also 'assists' in collections for other groups in the area, and questions must now be asked about the virtue of re-instating the BNP membership (during a membership freeze?) of both of the Lumbys who were quite vocal four months ago in their resignation of the jobs within the party and their membership.

The Lumbys and The Offords were also main protagonists in hounding several BNP members from the party during 2009

The BNP National Accounts manager, David Hannam, was not available for comment.

Britains Islamic Republic Documentary - No response from Respect?

Dispatches documentary Britain's Islamic Republic showed how the Labour Party has been infiltrated from within. It showed how The Muslim Forum of Europe is pressuring councilors regarding political decisions in Tower Hamlets. It also showed how George Galloway (Former Respect leader) is complicit in the Islamification of London via false petitions and harnessing the Muslim vote.

Respect were also included in the documentary and were exposed as a Islamic Front. There is no statement on the Respect party website refuting the claims of Dispatches. Respect leader Salma Yaqoob's blog is also silent regarding last nights programme.  

No prizes for guessing why.

BNP Candidate Announced for Walsall North Seat

The British National Party’s candidate for Wallsall North will be Christopher Woodall, it was announced at the latest party meeting in the area.

Mr Woodall, who is also the local organiser, declared his intention to fight a fully fledged campaign which would include organised teams of leafletters and canvassers.

“We have already saturated the Walsall North constituency with the latest party leaflet,” Mr Woodall told the meeting. “The response on the doorstep is very positive and has generated many enquiries from those who requested info packs and who want to attend a party meeting,” he said.

The meeting featured guest speaker James Whittall, who is also the West Midlands deputy organiser and Shrewsbury candidate. “Mr Whittall’s gripping speech was followed by donations totalling £430 and a string of new volunteer workers from the 50-strong audience,” Mr Woodall said.

£1400 Raised as Three New Candidates Announced in Shropshire

Four candidates photocall...

Forty patriots attending a black tie South Shropshire fundraising dinner donated a further £1400 towards local election costs as three new candidates were announced at the sell-out function, reports Deputy West Midlands Organiser James Whittall.

North Shropshire organiser Phillip Reddall has been nominated to contest the North Shropshire constituency and Mr Whittall will stand for the BNP in Shrewsbury and Atcham.

“These announcements were met with loud cheers, but the biggest cheer of all was saved for popular local lady Christina Evans, who was declared as the party’s candidate for Ludlow,” Mr Whittall said.

Ms Evans is the West Midlands Regional Treasurer and last year pushed Labour into last place when she fought the Ludlow East County Council seat for the first time.

Phillip Spencer has already been announced as a candidate in the seat of Telford. “In 2005, the BNP did not contest a single parliamentary seat in Shropshire, but with four of the five seats in Shropshire already confirmed, 2010 will be a very different story,” Mr Whittall said.

“For the first time ever the people of Shropshire are going to have a real alternative to the corrupt and anti-British agenda of the governing parties.”

The guests at the formal function were treated to speeches by Mr Whittall and BNP legal advisor Lee Barnes, both of whom delivered powerful addresses after the wonderful three course meal.

“The British National Party is the last hope for our children and grandchildren and it is our duty to save Britain for them,” Mr Whittall told the meeting. “The electorate will know that there is an alternative to the madness of the old parties.”

The last time this walk was completed, we were joined by Chairman Mr. Nick Griffin, and Deputy Chairman, Mr Simon Darby. We cannot promise that this will happen this time around, due to their massive commitments elsewhere, but who knows?

The team will walk up the 1,100 foot hill, and sponsors are required to help the campaign to get MP's elected, or give the enemies of our country a bloody good fright indeed, and prepare the way for future General Elections with a show of strength.

At 1 penny per foot, sponsors are able to help without breaking the bank. Some will want to go the whole hog, and sponsor every step. £11 will see the whole walk covered, but it is down to personal circumstances etc.

Anyone who wants to join the actual walk, contact Russ Green or John Salvage by email

Extraordinary General Meeting Passes New BNP Constitution with Overwhelming Vote

The new British National Party constitution has been passed with an overwhelming majority by the Extraordinary General Meeting held today in a positive and unified spirit, BNP leader Nick Griffin MEP has announced.

Speaking at the conclusion of the meeting, held today in London, Mr Griffin said that there had been five votes against and four abstentions while the rest of the 300-strong gathering voted in favour.

“The meeting was dominated by a good spirit of unity, with everyone understanding that the party has to adapt for legal, financial and political necessity,” Mr Griffin said.

“No-one is particularly happy about being denied the right of self-association, which is what the court order and law essentially enforces, but it is understood that the party has to put this behind us and get on with the serious business of saving Britain from the ravages of the establishment parties,” he said.

“Everyone knows that there are going to be a few ethnic members,” Mr Griffin continued. “In fact, when I announced that I personally would welcome the brave Mr Rajinder Singh as a member in the light of his struggle against the Islamification of Britain, I was warmly applauded by the crowd.”

Mr Griffin said the new constitution gave added protection to the BNP which would prevent anybody, no matter what their ethnic origin, from entering the party with the aim of causing trouble or subverting it.

“Although we object to the basis of the law which does away with our right to associate with those we choose, the new constitution follows the letter of the law and does away with what the Equalities and Human Rights Commission calls ‘direct discrimination’. We will see if this satisfies the ECHR who have already made it clear that they think our policy will prevent people from joining.

“That is of course a nonsensical argument because all parties have policies that its opponents don’t like, which makes it impossible for example, for a BNP supporter to join the Tories or Labour.”

Mr Griffin said the next step in the process was that the new constitution will be sent to the ECHR on Tuesday. That organisation has a week in which to make formal comment , after which the BNP has a week to review their comments and respond.

After that, a new court appearance in March should finalise the matter. Mr Griffin added that it was clear that the ECHR’s intention was to keep the BNP in the courts in an attempt to financially exhaust the party.

To prevent this from happening, the new constitution has also empowered the party leader with the right to revise any clause over which the ECHR might try and make an argument. “In this way we can quickly circumvent any drawn out legal processes and concentrate on fighting the election,” Mr Griffin said.

During the meeting, veteran nationalist Richard Edmonds stood up and read a piece of writing from party founder John Tyndall which said that if the law was ever changed, the BNP would amend its membership criteria to comply with the law. This, Mr Edmonds said, was why he was voting in favour of the new constitution.

* During the meeting, BNP security removed a journalist from the Times newspaper from the hall. The journalist in question had been asked to pledge that he would not work with another Times journalist, Fiona Hamilton, who has specialised in fabricating the most vicious lies about the BNP in the columns of that newspaper.

The journalist refused to give such an undertaking and was then asked to leave. He refused and was then escorted off the premises by the BNP stewards. Mr Griffin said afterwards that the BNP did not mind criticism, which was part of the political process, but was “sick and tired of the outright lies from the Times.”
