So We Ask What Was the Afghan War About? as MPs Call for Talks with Taliban

So What Was the War About? MPs Call for Talks with Taliban

  The British National Party Newsroom

The House of Commons cross-parliamentary foreign affairs committee has called for direct talks with the Taliban to end the war in Afghanistan, making their original decision to go to war ten years ago into little more than an evil farce.

The announcement by foreign affairs committee chairman and Conservative MP for Croydon South, Richard Ottaway, coincided with his party’s leader David Cameron endorsing the idea of talks with the Taliban during an press conference in London.

According to Mr Ottaway and his committee, more “US engagement in talks with the Taliban is needed to bring the conflict in Afghanistan to a close” because “political reconciliation in Afghanistan could be impeded by ongoing fighting with insurgents.”

What this means in plain English is that continuing to wage war against the Taliban is preventing it from entering direct negotiations — a statement of the obvious if ever there was one.

Apart from the idiocy of this comment (befitting though it is for the current Westminster parties), its more sinister aspect is that the admission that the only solution to the conflict is to “politically reconcile” with the Taliban, raises the obvious question: why did they go to war in the first place?

The conflict in Afghanistan has cost the British taxpayer billions of pounds, hundreds of British lives and has served to incite Muslims around the world into attacking UK interests.

In other words, the war has served no useful purpose at all. Indeed, it was directly against British interests to attack Afghanistan, both at home and abroad.

Yet this same cross-parliamentary group which has now called for talks with the Taliban to “end the conflict” enthusiastically supported the war in the first place. The war, promulgated by the previous Labour regime, was supported and encouraged by the Tories, while the Liberal Democrats have, through their coalition with the Conservatives, been brought on board the warmonger bus as well.

The foreign affairs committee’s comments coincided with a visit by Afghan president Hamid Karzai to Mr Cameron in Downing Street, during which the Prime Minister genially promised that even more British taxpayers’ money would be given in aid to Afghanistan.

According to press reports, Mr Cameron also appeared enthusiastic in a joint press conference held yesterday lunchtime for more dialogue with the Taliban.

“The military campaign is only part of the equation on an Afghan-led process for reconciliation and reintegration," he told reporters.

"It is time for the Taliban to start this journey and make this year a decisive year in Afghanistan."

That comment will no doubt not be well-received by the family of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps soldier who was killed in the latest incident in Helmand province just a day ago.

The fatality brings to 358 the number of British military personnel who have died while serving in Afghanistan since the start of operations there in 2001.

The families of the dead might well now be forgiven for asking what their bitter sacrifices were now all about, if the end game is to draw the Taliban back into a “reconciled government.”

Train Commuting Costs Set to Rise and Road Maintenance Budgets Cut Spending Review Nightmare Part III:

Spending Review Nightmare Part III: Train Commuting Costs Set to Rise and Road Maintenance Budgets Cut

  The British National Party National Newsroom

Workers who commute by train on main routes with regulated fares face dramatic price increases because of the coalition government’s budget cuts, travel industry experts have warned.

The Tory/Lib Dem government has announced that it will be raising the ‘fee cap’ on routes with regulated fares to 3 percent above inflation in a bid to shift some of the cost of rail subsidies it provides onto the public — even though tax money is used to already subsidise the train companies.

The rise will hit conventional commuters the hardest, as the commuter runs are specifically those with regulated fares.

In addition, the budget cuts will “prove tough for workers in the public sector,” experts have warned.

Nigel Turner, director of programme management at travel company Carlson Wagonlit, was recently quoted in the Air and Business Travel News as warning that the budget cuts will prove a “major challenge” for the government.

He said that nobody in the public sector “has been quite sure what budget they have.

“There have been huge cutbacks already on travel, just through people not knowing what they are allowed to spend. In general, they have not been travelling.”

He said he was “hopeful” that the estimated one million job cuts, which are part of the cutbacks, would not affect the travel industry “too badly.”

It is not only the rail service which is going to cost the public more. Councils across the country have been told by Transport Minister Norman Baker that they should stop "bleating" for more funds to repair road networks.

Mr Baker, a Lib Dem MP for Lewes, admitted that the roads in his constituency were “not particularly brilliant” — an understatement considering that East Sussex County Council has an estimated backlog of 20,000 potholes to repair.

Nonetheless, Mr Baker and his colleagues have overseen a £1.5 reduction in the highways maintenance budget according to East Sussex County Council as part of the overall spending review budget cuts.

And so it goes on: While train fares rise, subsidies to train companies remain; and road maintenance budgets in Britain are cut, but the increased foreign aid budget contains millions allocated to road building in Africa.

Once again, British people are put last.

Public Left Vulnerable as Police Cutbacks Bite:Spending Review Nightmare Part II:British National Party Analysis

Spending Review Nightmare Part II: Public Left Vulnerable as Police Cutbacks Bite

The British National National Newsroom

Coalition government Policing Minister Nick Herbert’s promise that the police’s front-line services would be protected after severe budgets cuts has been exposed as a lie with the news that yet another specialist unit that traces and recovers stolen cars is to be axed.

The Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service (VCIS) has been highly successful in tracking down a significant number of the 150,000 cars stolen in Britain every year, but has been told its annual £300,000 grant has been cancelled.

This money is, of course, a mere fraction of what is spent on foreign aid each year, a large portion of which goes to helping establish ‘law and order’ in other countries.

In the past four years, the VCIS has recovered more than £48 million of stolen cars, arrested more than 200 thieves and reunited thousands of car owners with their property, according to a report in Police Review magazine.

The article went on to say that the 13 police officers and seven police staff who make up the unit, called its scrapping “short-sighted” and “unjust.”

According to the Automobile Association, the service was vital. “If you can take out a gang you can wipe out a crime wave for several months, so you need this specialist police activity,” an AA spokesman was quoted as saying.

In last October’s Spending Review, it was announced that the police funding would be cut incrementally until it totalled 20 percent by 2014-15.

At the time, Mr Herbert told parliament that “front-line services could be protected while achieving challenging savings.”

This was, of course, yet another lie. It is has since emerged that police forces up and down the country will have to cut at least 10,000 active officers and thousands more other staffers will also have to be fired.

Sir Hugh Orde, president of the Association of Chief Police Officers, warned last year that police savings in back office costs and procurement would not be enough to absorb the cuts, as Mr Herbert has claimed.

“Police numbers will almost certainly have to fall once budget cuts start to bite,” Sir Hugh said.

Central funding to the police budget will fall to £9.3 billion in 2011-12, and to £8.8 billon the year after.

Compared to the billions spent on European Union membership, this figure is trifling, but, as always, the Westminster parties always put the interests of British people last.

NHS Staff Cutbacks Despite Tory Election Promises, British National Party Analysis

Spending Review Nightmare Part I: NHS Staff Cutbacks Despite Tory Election Promises

The British National Party National Newsroom  

In yet another example of how Britain was conned by David Cameron’s promise not to cut back on the National Health Service, the East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust has just announced that at least 1,000 hospital jobs, including those of doctors and nurses, are to end.

The cutbacks are a direct response to the coalition government’s Spending Review, which did not cut funding to the NHS but lowered its annual increase to 0.1 percent above inflation.

This is well under annual operating cost increases, many of which (such as the ‘carbon tax’ on emissions and the increased petrol price) are the direct result of government-imposed surcharges.

The East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust has confirmed to a local newspaper that 200 posts a year will go between now and 2015, a figure which will total a fifth of their total workforce.

According to reports, positions “facing the axe will be 257 jobs from the administration and estates department, 226 from the nursing division, 126 from therapy and diagnostics, 47 doctors, 205 clinical support staff and 13 managers.”

The Trust’s director of human resources and organisational development, Mr Ian Brandwood, admitted to a local newspaper that “some” front-line doctors’ and nurses’ posts would go.

The announcement confirmed the accuracy of the earlier report this week by anti-cuts activist organisation, False Economy, which specifically said that the East Lancashire NHS Trust would soon get right of 1,013 full-time equivalent staff, 50 doctors and dental staff, and 270 nurses, midwives and health visitors.

The budget restrictions will impact more than 50,000 hospital posts nationwide as NHS Trusts struggle to meet the government’s demand of £20 billion of “efficiency savings” over the next five years.

The “savings” mean that the NHS has to trim £4 billion off its expenses each year — a figure which is less than the annual estimated £4.5 billion spent each year fighting the war in Afghanistan.

Once again, the Westminster parties clearly think that fighting an unwinnable war which causes terrorism, is more important that funding healthcare for British people.

Foreign Aid Costs £479 for every household in Britain. As Tories Admit that British National Party Was Right All Along

Foreign Aid: Tories to Admit that British National Party Was Right All Along

The British National Party Newsroom

A leaked draft copy of the government’s foreign aid spending review, has all but admitted that the British National Party has been correct on the topic — but still insists on increasing the amount of British money handed out to the Third World.

The document, leaked to the BBC ahead of this week’s spending review to be announced in parliament, apparently states that British foreign aid handouts are to be stopped to at least 16 countries, including Russia, China and Iraq.

In addition, aid to India will be “frozen,” whatever that might mean.

The dramatic turnaround comes after months of sustained pressure from the British National Party on the subject, which finally forced the issue to the forefront of politics after having been deliberately hidden for decades.

Although this move is a major concession to growing popular opinion on the topic — and an understanding that it is the British National Party which is responsible for it coming to the public’s attention — the manoeuvre does not in fact reduce the foreign aid spend.

Instead, the spending review merely redeploys the billions in the budget, and, to add insult to injury, will increase the total amount spent.

According to the document, the international development budget will rise by a third because “aid spending is good for Britain's economy and safety.”

This blatant Tory lie — that it is “good” for the economy — is exposed by the simple fact that the foreign aid budget is twice as much as the total cutbacks on university spending, which is set to cripple higher education in Britain.

In addition, the document apparently says, by 2014, some 30 percent of British foreign aid is to go to “war-torn and unstable countries.”

Afghanistan will continue to be a major aid recipient, being “war-torn.”

Of course, the only reason why it is in that condition was because the Labour/Tory elite waged war on that nation in the first place.

The Department for International Development’s budget for 2009/2010 was £7.8 billion,  but the total foreign spend in all sectors for that period was £8.4 billion.

This figure is set to rise to £12.6 billion per year by 2014, equal to £479 for every household in Britain.

Furthermore, at this rate, the total foreign aid spend over the next ten years will amount to £126 billion. This figure is a conservative estimate, as both Labour and Tories have promised to keep increasing the budget year-on-year.

The halting of aid to Russia, China, Iraq and India does not meet the demands of the British National Party on the subject, which is the complete halting of all foreign aid while there is need or want here at home.

“Right Wing Support” Survey: Another Establishment Sleight of Hand, analyis By Nick Griffin MEP

“Right Wing Support” Survey: Another Establishment Sleight of Hand

  The British National Party National Newsroom

The newly-released “survey” which claims that 48 percent of British voters will support an anti-immigration party, is an Establishment sleight of hand which will backfire on its producers, Nick Griffin MEP has said.

Reacting to the release of the survey, which has been reproduced widely in the media, the British National Party leader said the report was a mixture of the obvious, the truth, a good deal of not-so-subtle propaganda and Establishment conniving.

“The reality is that no-one needs a new poll to become aware that there is deep dissatisfaction within society at the levels of immigration which, left unchecked, will plunge indigenous British people into minority status within a few decades,” Mr Griffin said.

“In that sense, the British National Party’s place in history, and destiny, is assured.

“We are the only party which has consistently warned about the dangers of unlimited mass immigration, and now the Establishment is slowly being forced to grudgingly concede that we were right, we are right and that all future trends are toward our political direction,” Mr Griffin said.

“There are however, contained in both the ‘report’ and the media coverage thereof, some important considerations.

“The first is that the media has tried to portray the report’s authors, the ‘Searchlight Educational Trust,’ as some sort of objective think thank devoted to ‘antiracism.’

 Searchlight founder Gerry Cable, guest of honour at Communist Party meeting in 2008.“In reality, as all informed journalists are already aware, Searchlight is nothing but an extremist Communist Party front organisation, whose founder actually stood as a formal Communist Party candidate and who as recently as 2008, was the guest speaker at a prominent Communist Party meeting in London.

“There is therefore, no question of ‘objectivity’ in anything Searchlight produces,” Mr Griffin said.

“Furthermore, Searchlight was closely involved with the setting up of the ‘UAF’ organisation, whose leaders are all senior members of the Socialist Workers’ Party.

“In fact, the only reason why Searchlight eventually left the UAF was because the latter organisation filled up with Islamist radicals and became anti-Zionist.

 “Searchlight, whose founder is also a radical Zionist whose son served in the Israeli army, objected to the anti-Israeli stance, and, complaining about anti-Semitism, left the UAF in a huff.

 “The Zionist nature of Searchlight offers another key in understanding the prominence given to the new ‘survey’ by the media.

 “Searchlight commissioned polling agency Populus to carry out the survey upon which the 48 percent figure is based.

 “It is no coincidence that the founder of Populus and that organisation’s Strategic Director, Andrew Cooper, has recently been appointed Director of Political Strategy at 10 Downing Street, working directly to David Cameron,” Mr Griffin continued.

 “All political observers have seen how influential Zionists, both Jewish and Christian alike, have identified radical Islam as a threat to Israel’s support base in western European nations, and have jumped on the anti-Islam bandwagon for their own purposes.

 “Thus it is in their interests to boost populist anti-Islamist organisations such as the English Defence League as a means of pressuring the rest of the political Establishment to do something about the problem.

“This development is becoming more and more blatant, with recent weeks having seen not only the Daily Star but also BBC’s Newsnight shamelessly promoting the EDL.

 “It can be seen in the ‘new’ survey that accent is given to what is described as ‘assertive English nationalism’ and the call for an English parliament as being key ingredients to the electoral possibility of a ‘new’ right wing political party.

“The British National Party does indeed believe that the creation of an English Parliament is necessary to stop the unfairness of the present devolved governmental system leading to a total break-up of the United Kingdom, but the fact that the EDP were beaten by the Monster Raving Looney Party in the Oldham by-election shows that this policy, in itself, is politically insignificant.

 “Obviously, however, the report’s authors hope that by stressing the ‘English’ angle in this way they can encourage organisations such as the EDL to resort to electoral politics, all with the obvious intention of sidelining the British National Party,” Mr Griffin said.

 “While the British National Party is obviously different from the EDL, and would not welcome a party emerging from that organisation, we are quite happy to let the Establishment proceed with its plans.

 “We are safe in the knowledge that all British people who have commonsense and political depth know, or will see very quickly, that the only avenue for real political power lies with the British National Party.

“Perhaps more significant still, the powerful people at present trying to boost and manipulate the EDL are playing with fire.

“In addition to politicising a whole generation of English working class youth (as the middle class would-be thugs of the UAF are already discovering to their discomfort), the whole operation has the potential to spark public disorder and communal violence on a scale never before seen on the British mainland.

“It is a massive and dangerous gamble for the media bosses now plugging the EDL to hope that this can be controlled and provide a safety valve to stop more people turning to us. It’s far more likely to blow up in their faces.

 “All-in-all, this new survey – and the bigger picture of manipulation behind it – only confirms what we know, namely that history is moving in our direction, and that no matter which way the Establishment tries to spin it, the end result will only be in favour of our party, and not against it.

 “This latest scheme will backfire against its producers and we will be the long-term winners,” Mr Griffin concluded.

Another Election Promise Smashed: Budget Constraints Mean NHS Job Losses Will Total 53,000

  The British National Party Newsroom

Budget constraints introduced by the Tory/Lib-Dem alliance will see the National Health Service will lose more than 50,000 jobs, activist group “False Economy” has announced.

 Original Conservative Party election poster, 2010.The organisation, which campaigns against budget cuts, said that its studies show that 53,000 NHS staff will lose their jobs in NHS Trusts across the country over the next five years. 

The figure is double previous estimates and reveals precisely how much the ruling regime’s budgetary contortions will cost the British public.

Although it was promised that spending on the NHS would not be cut, the real time increase is around 0.1 percent year, which is way below operating cost increases.

This disparity will inevitably lead to a lowering in NHS service levels as trusts will be forced to make major job cuts to reduce operating expenditure.

Contrary to ConDem denials, a number of doctors and nurses across all trusts will be among those affected.

The data was released after False Economy submitted a large number of Freedom of Information requests, which are available online here.

The figures from False Economy are double those forecast by the Royal College of Nursing forecast last November.

One of the biggest culls they uncover will be at Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, where 1,755 full-time posts will be cut, including 120 doctors and dentists, and 620 nurses.

Overall a minority of jobs are expected to be lost from ‘natural wastage’, but False Economy believes the majority of losses stem from the health service’s need to meet the so-called Nicholson Challenge which requires the NHS to make around £20 billion in efficiency savings by 2015.

During the 2010 election campaign, the Conservative Party promised in election posters and in its manifesto that it would not introduce any policy which would harm the NHS.

Welcome to fascist Britain, Salford BNP organizer is Unjustly sacked for his political affiliations

Gary Tumulty, Salford BNP organizer is sacked for his political affiliations

Today it has come to my attention that Gary Tumulty has been sacked by Spar (he worked in Spar city tower in Manchester city centre) because he is the Salford organizer for the British National Party.
This is a message that I received from one of Mr Tumulty’ friends and I want to bring it to the attention of nationalists.

Gary Tumulty is the Salford Organiser, he worked for a company called MITTIE as a security guard and did a great job, recently he was confronted by a few UAF from the local MAFA, then a few weeks later he was mobbed at his workplace by about 60 MAFA chanting and shouting the usual rubbish, he was then suspended until a investigation was held resulting in him being sacked today. This is unfair and unjust.

Here is the link to the antifascists’ demo.
Pyongyangcitysessions Judge for yourselves the significance of using Pyongyang as part of a blogsite name.
So far I’m unable to give more information, except that Pat Harrington has been informed and he will I am sure assist Mr Tumulty in his claim for unfair dismissal.
I will give an update as soon as I have more news.

Immigration fears of our young Almost three-quarters say it's a problem British National Party Chairmans Update

Fellow Patriot,
Did you see the great poll news the other day? Young people are waking up! The number of 16-24 year-olds who say that immigration is a big problem has risen form 60% to 70% in just twelve months.
Despite years of brainwashing in schools and on TV, more youngsters than ever before are seeing through the lies and spin of the Political Class.
For the first time, people in the 16-24 age group are now more worried about immigrant numbers than those in their 30s, the MORI poll showed. Mind you, opinion in that age bracket is also very much on our side - 68% of 25-39 year olds now say immigration is a big problem.
I believe that the poll shows that young people are now more receptive to our message on immigration than ever before.

The economic crisis means that there will be increased competition for jobs and public services.
Last week it was revealed 965,000 young people are out of work and hundreds of thousands have never worked. One in five 16-24 year-olds is jobless and looking for work. As the banksters' bust and ConDem cuts hit home, even more people are going to realise that we've been right all along.
Am I the only one who thinks this?
Well, No I'm not. Our far-left opponents say:
"With unemployment likely to hit two million by the end of the year and house prices dropping 15% in the past 12 months, most people are feeling the pinch. The government’s response to the credit crunch might have boosted its poll ratings in the short term but it could be the far-right BNP that benefits when the recession really bites."
A leaked Home Office memo has said that “Increased public hostility to migrants” was predicted to result from heightened competition for employment.

It's really no surprise then that there has been a concerted campaign to disrupt and smear the British National Party.
Put simply they don't want us around because they believe we are entering a period of opportunity.
Sadly for them, we have weathered their storm and I have gathered round me a central team of dedicated, highly motivated and talented Nationalists.
We’re working flat out to revamp our Publicity Department and totally overhaul our Elections machine. I’m criss-crossing the country speaking at meetings and organising for the future. I’m determined that we’ll be ready when the stormclouds really break.
Yes, they’ve underestimated us. More importantly they underestimated you. Our enemy believed that you would not renew your membership, join or donate if they attacked and smeared us.
Having no loyalty themselves they don't understand loyalty in others. They don't understand how much you care about our country.
Through thick and thin ordinary, decent people like you have backed the British National Party. Renewals, donations and new memberships have floooded-in. Subscriptions to our new, improved Voice of Freedom newspaper are at an all-time high. As a result the British National Party is back in the fight - stronger than before.
As we enter this time of opportunity we must up our output of literature and our activism on the streets. To do this we need your help.
Please donate today and give us the tools to do the job.

Please accept my sincere thanks,
Nick Griffin
