British National Party Manifesto

Democracy, Freedom, Culture and Identity: The BNP’s Election Manifesto 2010 Is Launched

April 23, 2010 - By BNP News

The British National Party has entered the 2010 general election with one of the most comprehensive and detailed manifestos in its history and will be campaigning on a number of issues which set it apart from all other political parties, Nick Grffin MEP has announced.

“These issues are the conflict in Afghanistan, the immigration invasion of our country, the threat to our security posed by Islamism and the danger of the European Union to our sovereignty,” Mr Griffin wrote in the introduction to the manifesto which was released today.

“The BNP is also the only party to map out realistic and sensible budget cuts which will bring the deficit under control — without cutting front line public services to the British people.

“In addition, the reader will find unique and innovative policies within this document which range from a solution for the housing crisis to restoring British industry, and from building our nation’s IT infrastructure to constitutional reform to guarantee our people’s liberties and freedom,” he said.

The manifesto’s key pledges are:

Defending Britain: BNP Defence Policy

• The BNP will end the involvement of British troops in the Afghanistan war

• The BNP will not allow British forces to become involved in a war against Iran

• The BNP will withdraw our troops from Germany

• The BNP will renegotiate our presence in NATO

• The BNP will raise Defence spending by one percent over the rate of inflation for the next five years

• The BNP will institute a Community Award Scheme for young people

Immigration: An Unparalleled Crisis Which Only the BNP Can Solve

• At current immigration and birth rates, indigenous British people are set to become a minority well within 50 years. This will result in the extinction of the British people, culture, heritage and identity.

• The BNP will take all steps necessary to halt and reverse this process. These steps will include a halt to all further immigration, the deportation of all illegal immigrants, a halt to the “asylum” swindle and the promotion of the already existing voluntary repatriation scheme.

• The BNP recognises the right of legally settled and law-abiding minorities to remain in the UK and enjoy the full protection of the law, on the understanding that the indigenous population of Britain has the right to remain the majority population of our nation.

• The BNP will deport all foreigners convicted of crimes in Britain, regardless of their immigration status.

• The BNP will review all citizenship grants awarded since Labour entered government in 1997, based on that party’s admission that they orchestrated mass immigration to change forcibly Britain’s demographics and to gerrymander elections.

• The BNP will repeal the Race Relations Act and all other far leftist social engineering projects, such as the Equalities and Human Rights Commission aimed at enforcing multiculturalism.

• The BNP will regain sovereign control of our borders by increasing funding to the UK Border Agency.

Environmental Protection and the “Climate Change” Theory

• The BNP demands an end to the destruction of Britain’s green belt, caused primarily by housing demand fuelled through mass immigration.

• The BNP will launch a “polluter pays” policy in the fight against environmental damage.

• The BNP will encourage the use of existing “brown sites” for all new building or industrial developments.

• The BNP rejects the “climate change” theory which holds that all western nations need to be stripped of their manufacturing base and pay untold billions to the Third World to build up their industries.

Leaving the European Union

• The BNP loves Europe but hates the EU.

• The BNP demands an immediate withdrawal from the European Union, which is an organisation dedicated to usurping British sovereignty and to destroying our nationhood and national identity.

• The BNP will end the annual multibillion cash haemorrhage Britain pays out to the EU in membership fees and regulatory costs. This money will be spent on building infrastructure in Britain and alleviating poverty and unemployment at home.

Counter Jihad: Confronting the Islamic Colonisation of Britain

• The BNP is implacably opposed to the Labour/Tory regime’s mass immigration policies which, if left unchecked, will see Britain and most of Europe colonised by Islam within a few decades.

• The BNP believes that the historical record shows that Islam is by its very nature incompatible with modern secular western democracy.

• The BNP will ban the burka, ritual slaughter and the building of further mosques in Britain.

• The BNP believes that there should be absolutely no further immigration from any Muslim countries, as it presents one of the most deadly threats yet to the survival of our nation.

• We propose the immediate deportation of all radical Islamist preachers, those proven to have attended any of their inflammatory sermons, and any other members of their community who object to these reasonable security measures.

• The BNP is the only party to identify correctly the twin causes of Islamist terrorism in Britain: (a) mass immigration and (b) a biased British foreign policy which serves to incite Muslims living in Britain.

Renationalising the Welfare State

• The BNP will halt the handout of benefits, housing, education and pensions to foreigners who have not paid into the system.

• The BNP will ensure that the National Health Service is used to serve British people and not used as an International Health Service.

• The BNP will provide education and training for the unemployed to enable them to get back into work.

• The BNP will institute a workfare-not-welfare policy for those who refuse to get back to work.

Freedom for All: The Restoration of Our Civil Liberties

• The BNP will repeal all legislation enacted by successive Labour and Tory regimes which have usurped the British people’s basic civil liberties.

• The BNP will circumvent the erosion of our liberties by the old gang parties under the guise of “fighting terrorism” by dealing with the root causes of Islamist extremism in Britain, namely mass immigration and Britain’s biased foreign policy.

• The BNP will repeal all laws aimed at restricting freedom of speech, including those relating to race relations and religion.

• The BNP rejects ID cards as an undesirable manifestation of the surveillance society.

• The BNP will repeal the 1998 Human Rights Act and withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights, both of which are exploited to abuse Britain’s hospitality by the world’s scroungers.

• By withdrawing from the EU, the BNP will not permit British courts to be subservient to international bodies or courts which override the law of the British parliament.

Constitutional Change: Protecting and Enhancing Our Heritage

• The BNP will devolve all powers properly capable of exercise to local level and revived county council government.

• The BNP will oppose the intrusion of non-British and alien cultural influences which undermine our traditional value systems.

• The BNP will encourage the teaching of British history, culture and traditions in schools.

• The BNP will seek to promote the traditional high-street shopping environment over the out-of-town shopping centre.

• The BNP will ensure that National Lottery funding is spent on projects which enhance British culture, rather than degrade it.

• The BNP will introduce formal bank holidays for all of our nations’ patron saints.

• The BNP will take legislative steps to protect Britain’s pubs, which will include tax concessions, smoking rooms under strict supervision and a lowering of tax on alcohol served in public houses.

• The BNP will relieve part of the housing crisis by halting and reversing the immigration invasion.

The Economy: Putting Britain Back on the Road to Recovery

• A BNP government would tackle the national debt problem by cutting expenditure on all projects which do not serve British interests.

• These expenditures which will be cut include the annual costs of £18 billion spent on “global warming,” the £13 billion spent on immigration, the £4 billion spent on asylum, the £15 billion spent on EU membership, the £9.1 billion spent on foreign aid, the billions spent fighting illegal and immoral foreign wars, and the billions spent on “politically correct” social engineering projects.
