Anti-BNPers fail to stop November meeting

About 80 people packed the venue on Monday for the November meeting to hear Nick Griffin and other speakers.

The meeting was overshadowed by threats to the owners of the pubs by government storm troopers and threatening leftwing loons. The first meeting place cancelled 3 days before the meeting was to be held after government storm troopers gave the owners a talk about licensing while others were making threats against the pub.

With only 3 days to go the meeting organisers were able to find another pub within hours and a Herculean effort ensued to inform people of the change of venue. The new owners also had a visit from the police just a few hours before the meeting was about to start ‘informing’ them that they have to advise the police when they hold political meetings on their premises. The owners were not scared off by this and allowed the meeting to start.

The meeting was opened with James Macpherson who talked about the leaked BNP list and how our fathers and grandfathers coped in the world wars. Alan O’reilly continued this with a talk on 90 years on from World War 1 which can also be read in Identity Magazine.

Mark Walker the Solidarity General Secretary was our other guest speaker and talked about Solidarity and told a humorous story about a crank call he received after his phone number was made public. The crank caller could be joining the BNP, well we might want him when he matures enough to stop doing crank calls.

At the end of the night Nick Griffin gave a questions and answers session which lasted about an hour. Everyone was impressed and almost £250 was raised on the night.

BNP come third in South Bank

Bernard Collinson, the British National Party candidate came third in the South Bank by election, being beaten by Labour and the Liberal Democrats.

Bernard managed to win just over 15% of the vote in a ward that we have only contested once before. The Hope Note Hate campaigners were out leafleting the ward a few days before the election so that could have lowered the amount of votes we achieved.

The BNP will now be focusing on other areas of Teesside in case of any other upcoming by elections that may happen in the future.

BNP continue campaign in South Bank

The Kirkleatham by election produced results that meant that the British National Party never took the ward.

The BNP managed to get just over 5% of the vote with the Liberal Democrats taking the ward with over 1000 votes.

The fight continues as teams of activists will be campaigning all week in the next by election in South Bank where the BNP have a fantastic opportunity of making a breakthrough. The last time we stood in South Bank we managed to win 17% of the vote. With a little extra effort we can win it.

BNP prepare for by elections

Teams of BNP activists have been busily leafleting in preparation for 2 coming by elections in Kirkleatham and South Bank.

Activists have found that they are getting lots of support especially in South Bank where people are coming up to our activists and thanking us for standing in their ward. South Bank seems especially supportive given that in the last election we won just over 17% of the vote in that ward. With a bit of extra effort we can win South Bank.

The prospect of the BNP making a breakthrough has sent shivers down the backs of the establishment causing Hope Note Hate to get their activists out spreading lies on glossy leaflets to the people of Kirkleatham. It is thought that Hope Note Hate will try to do the same in South Bank but it is unlikely that people in South Bank will listen.

The election in Kirkleatham is this Thursday but the election in South Bank will not be held then so we need anyone who can to help in South Bank where it looks like we can make a breakthrough.

Arthur Kemp speaks at July meeting

Arthur Kemp was the guest speaker at our last meeting which attracted over 55 people and a collection of over £380.

At the Start of the meeting it was announced that James MacPherson has been promoted to Teesside organiser which now means that he holds two offices within the party – that of Regional Elections Officer and Teesside organiser.

After being announced as Teesside Organiser James MacPherson chaired the meeting and Barry Towers was the first speaker. He spoke about standing up for what he believed in and being sacked by Middlesbrough Football Club. Andy Harris and Adam Walker then gave short speeches. It was then up to Arthur Kemp to give a long speech starting with the Battle of Trafalgar and ending with what is happening now and what could happen in the future.

Teesside BNP hold 1 minute silence

Over 100 BNP supporters packed into tonight’s meeting to hear talks by Nick Griffin and people who have never made spoken in front of a BNP meeting before.

The meeting began with a 1 minute silence for racially motivated murder victim Keith Brown who was brutally stabbed to death. After that sombre moment topics ranged from speeches on Common Purpose to Keith Brown and many others including a question and answer session by Nick Griffin.

People who came to the meeting didn’t just enjoy the speeches that were on offer they also enjoyed a large buffet and a raffle to finish the night off.

Nick Griffin and Civil Liberty show their support

Nick Griffin and members of civil liberty showed their support for Barry Towers by attending a protest against Middlesbrough Football Club’s disgraceful decision to sack Barry Towers.

A dozen free speech supporters turned up to hand in a petition which totalled almost 900 signatures, including 700 people that Barry Towers got to sign the petition while pounding streets of Middlesbrough. While protesting BBC Radio Tees and a freelance reporter interviewed Barry Towers and Nick Griffin. Even though the press were there Middlesbrough Football Club only allowed the protesters to stay for 20 minutes. Do you think they support free speech?

After the protest the majority of the protesters went to a nearby Middlesbrough pub and chatted with Nick Griffin and Kevin Scott (Civil Liberty) for over an hour.
