Muslims compromising healthcare

SOME Muslims are undermining the battle to rid Britain’s hospitals of killer infections by refusing to wash their hands when visiting sick relatives.

Dispensers containing anti-bacterial gel have been placed outside wards at hospitals all over Britain in a bid to get rid of superbugs like MRSA and PVL.

It prevents people bringing in more infections. But some Muslims refuse to use the hand cleansers on religious grounds because they contain alcohol.

Health watchdogs are so concerned they intend to meet with NHS bosses in the New Year to try and hammer out a solution.

Why do they need to think up a solution? It’s obvious what they need to do. If Muslims refuse to wash their hands they should be banned from the hospital unless they are seriously ill. There is absolutely no excuse for not washing your hands when at a hospital even if it is for religious reasons.

The Guardian try to expose the BNP again

The Guardian has another two stories about how their mole infiltrated the BNP and found… well nothing! They are spending quite a lot of time on this none story even though they didn’t find anything significant but never mind. They infiltrated the party for 12 months so we have to give them a bone seeing as how they must be seriously pissed as wasting all that time and money and coming up with nothing.

I will put snippets in this blog but a lot of it has already been said yesterday so just look at yesterday and you will find most stuff.

Here it is:

The British National party believes its efforts to sanitise its public image have brought it to the brink of an electoral breakthrough, according to unpublished documents and tapes uncovered by the Guardian.

The clean-up, ordered by the leader, Nick Griffin, to rid the party of its hooligan stereotype is, according to the documents, aimed at legitimising the BNP in the eyes of a wider electorate.

Party leaders believe they can double the number of BNP councillors, gain a foothold on the Greater London Assembly and make a serious tilt at a small number of especially vulnerable parliamentary constituencies.

Well kudos to you for finding what we have been saying for ages. Who knew we think that we can double our councillors and get elected to parliament and the London Assembly? Unless you live under a rock I think everyone knew this.

The party's support is largely confined to a handful of small areas,

I thought you said yesterday we have lots of company directors and other middle class people? How is that confined? Please explain.

That first article of today wasn’t very enlightening. Why don’t we look at the second article here.

Yet despite the seven years of repackaging, it is impossible to miss the racism. Xenophobia oozes from every pronouncement of the party and its leaders, on paper, on the internet and in person.

LOL! Just yesterday you said “In my seven months as a party member I heard very few racist epithets, and no anti-semitic comments.” Where did you hear these racist comments in the last 24 hours? If we are racist why did you hear very few racist epithets while you were a member for more than a year and organiser for 7 months?

The Guardian expose the BNP as... Normal!

It seems as if The Guardian newspaper is on our side. Well not really but they do give us a bit of good publicity and accidentally demolishes the myth that we are all poor knuckle dragging Nazis who want to see a bit more cooking of the average Jew. You can read their recruitment campaign for the BNP here.

While you’re on my blog I will give you a chance to read some of it:

Guardian reporter Ian Cobain joined the BNP and became central London organiser. He found:

· Encrypted lists of middle-class members
· A network of false identities
· The covert rulebook

Activists are being encouraged to adopt false names when engaged on BNP business, to reduce the chance of their being identified as party members in their other dealings with the public.

Wow. So he lied about being a nationalist and he was so good at lying he became organiser. Congratulations.

We have middle class members? Just a few weeks ago we were all poor uneducated racists. Yes I know we have middle class members. Two of the members of the Teesside committee are teachers.

I don’t know about London but we don’t have false identities when we are out leafleting or doing official business. If they have false names in London why is that a bad thing? BNPers using their real names would probably be fired from their job for using their democratic right to join a party.

A covert rule book? Ok what has it got in it?


The BNP has also been instructing its activists in the use of encryption software to conceal the content of their email messages, and to protect the party's secret membership lists.

That’s what BNP emails are for so outside people cannot see official BNP business. Why shouldn’t the BNP protect their membership lists? Shock horror! They are complying with the Data Protection Act something which The Guardian is not.

Party members are also employing counter-surveillance techniques, including the routine use of rendezvous points at which they will gather before being redirected to clandestine meetings.

Yes we do this. This is common knowledge so we don’t get leftwingers showing and trying to fight us. We just want a peaceful meeting. What’s wrong with that? Left-wingers do show up. Don’t think they don’t. I was once sent to a redirection point when Nick Griffin was going to come (he cancelled in the end). The leftwingers showed up, about 30 of them all chanting ‘black and white unite and fight. Bash the BNP’. When I found where the real meeting was I calmly walked out of the pub, stood over the road for a few minutes watching the demonstration which was a risk considering some of the demonstrators were in my college, one of which was in one of my classes. I waited 10 minutes then walked to the real meeting.

BNP activists are also now discouraged from using any racist or anti-semitic language in public, in order to avoid possible prosecution. In a BNP rulebook, issued only to activists and organisers, they are instructed that they should avoid acting in a way which fits stereotypes of the far right, and "act only in a way that reflects credit on the Party".

Wow! So members of the BNP are told not to be racist or anti-Semitic? I thought they were all racists?

In an attempt to achieve the degree of political legitimacy which it believes it needs to win more votes, the extreme rightwing party is attempting to establish itself in affluent areas of the capital such as Belgravia, Chelsea and Knightsbridge.

The BNP already has significant numbers of members living in those areas. They include Peter Bradbury, a leading proponent of complementary medicine who has links to Prince Charles, Richard Highton, a healthcare regulator, and Simone Clarke, principal dancer with the English National Ballet.

There are also dozens of company directors, computing entrepreneurs, bankers and estate agents among the 200 members and lapsed members living in central London. One member is a servant of the Queen residing at Buckingham Palace, while a number are former Conservative party activists.

So the BNP actually do have well educated middle class members. Who knew? Well just about everyone but let’s give the reporter a cookie for finding it out. You are also forgetting about the authors we have in the BNP but never mind. Atleast the nation now knows we have good members including members with links to the Royal family.

The reporter seemed to fool the BNP members who he talked to a lot. Here is his own account of what happened:

Basically he starts chatting to someone called Steve who was his first contact inside the BNP. Here is what Steve said to him:

"The whole world is pouring down on us," he said. "It's a huge problem, and it's going to get worse." Not that he is a racist, you understand - "I'm on the liberal wing of the party ... most of the people in the party are" - and he doesn't blame the immigrants themselves - "if I was a 19-year-old Kurd, I'd be trying to get into the country"

That’s what I have been saying. I don’t blame the immigrants and neither do the BNP. So how is this supposed to show us in a bad light Guardian man? If anything it shows us in a positive light.


In my seven months as a party member I heard very few racist epithets, and no anti-semitic comments.

Really? I thought we were racist Nazis who loved cooking the Jews for the summer barbecue?


Shortly after this, Sadie Graham, the BNP's Group Development Officer, writes from Nottingham to thank me for becoming the central London organiser and to offer advice. This includes the suggestion that I contact my "regional security officer" before holding any meetings.

The following week I receive an email with an encrypted attachment. Using the software from Nick, I open up the attachment to find it is an Excel spreadsheet listing 192 current and lapsed members living in the three central London boroughs, plus the north London boroughs of Camden and Islington. I am also sent a second list of people who have joined in the previous few months, or expressed an interest in joining.

They include dozens of company directors, computing entrepreneurs, bankers and estate agents, and a handful of teachers. One member is a former Miss England, another is the American chief executive of a City investment corporation, while one is a servant of the Queen, living at Buckingham Palace.

Who would have though we would have a former Miss England? It seems they are mentioning the well educated again. Are they deliberately trying to make us look better? It seems that way to me.

Thanks to The Guardian, they have only confirmed why I joined the BNP and why I will continue to support them. I am even going to email The Guardian thanking them for their hard work helping me to confirm why I support the BNP. You can do it too. Email them and thank them for all their hard work at their email address which is politics.editor@guardianunlimited.co.uk .

Cleveland schools serve halal lamb

Halal meat is being served to pupils in state schools without their knowledge, even if they believe the religious slaughter is cruel.

I actually blogged about this on December 1st on my other blog here when I reported that ALL schools in Cleveland serve halal lamb. Parents don’t get told about it though.

Stockton Councillor receives drink-drive ban

The leader of Stockton Council said a fellow councillor caught drink-driving should "seriously consider her position".

Cllr Bob Gibson believes resignation could be an option for Lib Dem Julia Roberts after she received a driving ban at Teesside Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

The ward councillor of Bishopsgarth and Elm Tree was banned from driving for a year and fined £200 with £43 costs after being caught driving over the limit on Yarm Road in Stockton on December 8. She pleaded guilty to the offence.

Cllr Gibson said: "I think she should consider her position very seriously and consider the people who elected her and how they will feel about it.

"With all the campaigns around at this time of year against drink-driving, I think councillors, of all people, should not be finding themselves in this sort of position.

"It's now up to her and the Lib Dems what she does."

Twas the night before christmas

'Twas The (Politically Correct) Night Before Christmas:
'Twas the night before Christmas and Santa's a wreck...
How to live in a world that's politically correct?
His workers no longer would answer to "Elves".
"Vertically Challenged" they were calling themselves.
And labor conditions at the north pole
Were alleged by the union to stifle the soul.
Four reindeer had vanished, without much propriety,
Released to the wilds by the Humane Society.
And equal employment had made it quite clear
That Santa had better not use just reindeer.

So Dancer and Donner, Comet and Cupid,
Were replaced with 4 pigs, and you know that looked stupid!

The runners had been removed from his sleigh;
The ruts were termed dangerous by the E.P.A.
And people had started to call for the cops
When they heard sled noises on their roof-tops.

Second-hand smoke from his pipe had his workers quite frightened.
His fur trimmed red suit was called "Unenlightened."

And to show you the strangeness of life's ebbs and flows,
Rudolf was suing over unauthorized use of his nose
And had gone on Geraldo, in front of the nation,
Demanding millions in over-due compensation.

So, half of the reindeer were gone; and his wife,
Who suddenly said she'd enough of this life,
Joined a self-help group, packed, and left in a whiz,
Demanding from now on her title was Ms.

And as for the gifts, why, he'd ne'er had a notion
That making a choice could cause so much commotion.
Nothing of leather, nothing of fur,
Which meant nothing for him. And nothing for her.

Nothing that might be construed to pollute.
Nothing to aim. Nothing to shoot.
Nothing that clamored or made lots of noise.
Nothing for just girls. Or just for the boys.

Nothing that claimed to be gender specific.
Nothing that's warlike or non-pacific.

No candy or sweets...they were bad for the tooth.
Nothing that seemed to embellish a truth.
And fairy tales, while not yet forbidden,
Were like Ken and Barbie, better off hidden.

For they raised the hackles of those psychological
Who claimed the only good gift was one ecological.

No baseball, no football...someone could get hurt;
Besides, playing sports exposed kids to dirt.
Dolls were said to be sexist, and should be passe;
And Nintendo would rot your entire brain away.

So Santa just stood there, disheveled, perplexed;
He just could not figure out what to do next.

He tried to be merry, tried to be gay,
you've got to be careful with that word today.
His sack was quite empty, limp to the ground;
Nothing fully acceptable was to be found.

Something special was needed, a gift that he might
Give to all without angering the left or the right.
A gift that would satisfy, with no indecision,
Each group of people, every religion;

Every ethnicity, every hue,
Everyone, everywhere...even you.
So here is that gift, it's price beyond worth...
"May you and your loved ones enjoy peace on earth."

A Christmas Tree

Got this in my email:











This is a Christmas tree.
It is not a Hanukkah bush,
it is not an Allah plant,
it is not a Holiday hedge.
It is a Christmas tree.

Say it... CHRISTmas , CHRISTmas , CHRISTmas

Yes. CHRISTmas - celebrating the Birth of Jesus Christ!!!
Take a stand and pass this on !!

Muslim to give christmas speech! Allah Akbar!

A veiled Muslim woman will deliver this year's alternative Christmas speech on Channel 4, the broadcaster has said.

Khadija, a Zimbabwean-born British citizen who has been wearing the full veil - or niqab - for 10 years, has been given the slot.

The message will reflect a year in which the wearing of religious clothing and symbols have "dominated the news agenda", said a Channel 4 spokesman.

I know which channel I definitely won’t be watching come the Christmas speech.

BBC 'forget' facts

The BBC is reporting that race crime charges have risen by 28%. They go on about anti Muslim violence then go on to say:

In race offences, the number of defendants pleading guilty rose by 2% to 71%. Overall 87% of race cases resulted in a conviction, while for religiously-aggravated charges, 98% of defendants were convicted.

Mr Macdonald said: "Racist and religiously-aggravated crimes are particularly nasty because victims are targeted solely because of their identity or beliefs.



What the BBC fails to mention is that most victims of racist crime are white. They should know about it. They reported on it in November.

When Is Cruelty not Cruelty?

To follow up the article by Mark Nixon in January’s edition of Identity where his last paragraph touched on the subject of ritual slaughter, I would like to put a bit of “meat on the bones” (excuse the pun) of this subject.

In the U.K. it is a requirement that all animals should be stunned before slaughter under the Welfare of animals (slaughter or killing) regulations 1995. Stunning is a process that causes animals to lose consciousness, making them insensible to pain and suffering. The Jewish and Muslim communities are exempt from this law as their religious teachings state that an animal must be fully alive before it is slaughtered.

Does Religious Slaughter Cause An Animal To Suffer?



In June 2003, the Farm Animal Welfare Council (F.A.W.C.) published a report based on evidence from many individuals and organisations as well as observing instances of religious slaughter itself.

Their report focused on three particular animal welfare issues with regard to slaughter without pre-stunning.
These were:
• Pre slaughter handling
• The potential for pain and distress
• The time to loss of brain responsiveness.

On the first of these issues the F.A.W.C. concluded that the level of restraint required to expose the throat, perform an effective cut and hold the animal still until it had bled out was far greater than that needed for conventional slaughter.

With regard to the potential for pain and distress, they concluded that such a drastic cut would inevitably trigger off a barrage of sensory information to the brain of a conscious animal and therefore, “We are persuaded that such a massive injury would result in very significant pain and distress before insensibility supervenes.”

On the issue of time taken to loss of brain responsiveness, the F.A.W.C. cited work on calves, which had shown a variation in the period to insensibility from 10-120 seconds. (Not a long time? Try hanging yourself up by the feet and holding your breath for 2 minutes!)
This report was submitted to the government with the recommendations that “Slaughter without pre-stunning is unacceptable and the government should repeal the current exemptions.”

In April 2004, the government issued its response to this report stating that they were not intending to adopt the F.A.W.C. recommendations.
The R.S.P.C.A. responded to this by urging the government to consider more carefully the animal welfare implications of allowing continuation of slaughter without pre-stunning. However, in its final response to this issue in March 2005, the government again stated that it would not change the law and slaughter without pre-stunning would continue for the Jewish and Muslim communities.

How Many Animals Are Slaughtered By Religious Methods?



The Meat Hygiene Service (M.H.S.) Animal Welfare Review (March 2004) stated that during a one-week period in September 2003, the numbers of animals killed for Kosher meat were; 742 cattle and calves, 1,704 lambs and 39,184 poultry.
A total of 856 cattle and calves, 139,843 sheep, lambs and goats and 2,136,805 poultry were slaughtered for Halal meat during the same period.

Although at the moment no Kosher meat is produced in the U.K from animals that have been stunned before slaughter, the M.H.S. indicates that the majority of cattle (but not other species) are now stunned immediately after being cut. Data also reveals that some Halal slaughter now involves pre-stunning.
However, bearing in mind the total numbers of animals involved, there is still substantial room for improvement in this area.


Comparisons



At this point it is worthwhile comparing the government’s refusal to amend the law on what is basically a mediaeval, barbaric and unnecessary act and their obsession in banning foxhunting with hounds.

Foxhunting has been debated for decades, but the government decided to implement the Parliament act and steamroller the bill through when it became obvious that it was not going to get past the House of Lords. Why?

My own view is that the timing was most important. It was a diversion to the general public who were becoming uneasy about the war in Iraq and it was a “trade off” to certain Labour politicians who were becoming increasingly uncomfortable and vociferous about the legalities and justification of that same war.

There is also the fact that the government weren’t going to lose anything by imposing the ban. Foxhunting is deemed to be a sport of the upper classes; “Hooray Henrys on horses” as it was once described to me, and these people are traditional Tory voters. (Maybe there was a bit of “pay back” due for the way the Tories, under Thatcher, destroyed the mining communities, traditional Labour heartlands.)

I don’t entirely agree with this upper class assumption. My local hunt had many followers who could hardly be described as “upper class.”

Moreover, some of the local lads were less interested in “following the hounds” and more interested in discovering the whereabouts of the hares and rabbits in order to conduct their own private hunt, with long-legged dogs and lamps at a later date.


Labelling Of Religiously Slaughtered Meat



I come towards the conclusion of this article on a Sunday morning eagerly anticipating Sunday lunch and we can be content in the knowledge that the meat we are going to enjoy has been provided from an animal that has not had to endure undue suffering in order to provide us with that meal.
Or can we?
Well I’m sorry, but the answer is no. The consumption of certain parts of the animal hindquarters such as veins, lymphatic and sciatic nerve and its branches is forbidden under certain religious law. To remove them is a specialised task and one that has not been practised in the U.K. since the 1930’s. Consequently, all hindquarters are rejected as not fit for consumption (by certain religious groups), as are damaged carcasses and a high proportion of this meat is sold on the open market. (For you and me.)

A previous F.A.W.C report (1985) highlighted this issue and recommended that all meat from animals slaughtered by religious methods should be clearly labelled in order for the general public to have an informed opinion on whether they wish to buy meat slaughtered by this method. In the March 2005 government report, mentioned earlier, it was stated that they would be willing to discuss this with various stakeholder groups.

However my last information, dated 8th February 2006, says that these discussions have yet to take place.

My article was headed by a question. There are no prizes for the answer. It’s all too obvious.

The sickening pandering by this government to certain minority groups goes on and on in their bid to retain power at all costs.

When is cruelty not cruelty? When it may cost votes


The above article was written by Len who is Secretary of Cleveland branch..

Hello!



This is the blog of the Cleveland BNP branch. We plan to stand in as many Wards as we can. Many of the Wards have yet to be finalised but we are very likely to be standing a candidate in Rift House and Eston.

In the coming weeks and months there will be more Wards finalised and you will see more and more updates on this blog. So Stay Tuned!
