"Young, Nazi and Proud" - crap

MC | 05.11.2002 13:42

A response to the media entrapment hatchet-job

Young, Nazi and Proud -Twisted, Edited and Manipulated - Mark Collett's own words.

David Modell approached the BNP back in February; his line was that he wanted to produce a documentary on real people in the BNP and what the party was really about. He openly mocked the Panorama show and told us he wished to make something different, not a BNP manifesto by any means, but a show that really told the public what the BNP was all about and cut through the usual media hysteria and lies.

Now after 8 months of filming with David, I have to say I am deeply upset, but not only with the programme, but also with the way in which David wormed his way into to so many peoples lives and the way in which he deceived us only to cobble together the usual run of the mill rubbish.

8 months is a long time, that is the first thing I have to say. In 8 months any normal person has ups and downs, highs and lows. Any person falls out with and makes up with people in his or her life and anyone over an 8 month period would say or do at least one thing that he or she wouldn't usually do or say and subsequently regrets or feels ashamed of.

However this was not an average 8 months, and I am not an average person. In the 8 months I spent with David I had my University Finals, Stood as a candidate in Harehills in Leeds as well as was given the job of organising Bradford as subsequent organisers had given in due to the stress it had caused them. But wait, those three events all happened in a period of roughly 1 month, at which point I was also in a useless and emotionally draining relationship with a girl who can best be described as a complete emotional wreck. However I still had a camera behind me at all times.

The following months were no easier and included moving house, graduating, breaking up with said girlfriend, putting together a new BNP publication alone as well as organising Camp Excalibur 2002, helping with the RWB and revamping the way local leaflets were produced, not just in Leeds but all over Britain. Whilst all of this was happening I had David sitting on my shoulder.

Yet in these 8 months David has chosen to focus on every low, every moment of anger or slight depression in an effort to make me look like some psychotic fool.

But why did I do this documentary, why would anyone agree to working with a journalist for this length of time? Well, this is simple; I wanted to show the general public what we are REALLY like. I gave my heart and soul to this; I invited David into my home, both in Leeds and with my parents in Leicester, I allowed to him access to everything including my graduation, not many people would have but I desperately wished for him to put together a balanced view of myself and the party. Instead he chose not to.

But why did I trust him? David went to extreme lengths to make it look like he was a nice guy, from giving me money when I was financially hard up due to moving house right through to taking my sister out for a meal and telling her how he had loved working with me and wanted to keep in touch as he thought we were such good friends! So I let him cover my life for 8 months and he betrayed me, and the dozens of other people who cooperated with him and trusted him.

But why did the BNP allow him such access to the party and myself. Well it's simple, we have nothing to hide and we are normal people. In fact David had to spend 8 months with me to get a few "dodgy quotes" which he got off camera when he posed very open ended and very well thought out questions. One in particular stands out even now, he had previously worked on a documentary about Loyalists in Ulster and often spoke of Leaders such as Johnny Adair, at one point he said he had met him and spoke of him in a very glamorous way, at which point I replied that I wouldn't mind meeting him. Now, I am paying for that and so is the party.

But however bad you think you feel about all this, you cannot feel as bad as me. I gave this my all in a time of stress and heartache to show the BNP in a positive light, I have failed the party and myself, however I have learned very valuable lessons. The most important is that people like David will never understand us and they will never see why we oppose multiculturalism, for their idea of multiculturalism is living in an all white area and going to a Chinese takeaway on a weekend. They don't live amongst Mosques and gangs of militant non-white youths.

But there was one thing that stood out to me in all this and that was the front page of the Times magazine, on it there was a very unflattering picture of me and behind me towered a huge almost finished Mosque. To David and the rest of the liberal elite the Mosque stood as a symbol of brilliance and culture towering over a bigoted young man, in reality that Mosque towers over the community, changing the skyline of a once proud working class area and further removing the British way of life from another part of our beautiful nation. In reality most whites fled from this area years ago, as they are fleeing from the advancing tide of coloured immigrants all over Britain. In the liberal mind I was the thing out of place on that page, but in the minds of millions of normal people it was the other way round, and David knows that, and that's exactly why he has done this, one party stands as this Nations great white hope, one party stands up to this multicultural nightmare and one party stands up to the extermination of British people in their homeland, and David Modell and his friends will do anything they can to stop you joining it.

Please, find another platform to spell your ignorant verborrea. IMC Indimedia is not for you to exploit. We live in a multicultural world, diversity is our treasure and respect for other cultures the only future.

Many people died fighting the nazis, show a bit of respect.

You come on Indymedia to moan about what some documentary maker says about you, then you spout your repugnant hatred of "non-whites". As someone in a mixed-race marriage, I find you and the BNP to be irrelevant, absurd, violent and ignorant. You claim to represent a major of white working-class people, but this is far from reality. Few people, even in your "strong-holds" few have sympathy for your politics of hate and exclusion. In Bethnal Green and Bow, for instance, your vote collapsed because most those who voted BNP due to their disenchantment couldn't bear putting their cross by a fascist candidate for a second time. Everywhere the BNP goes, organised gangs of thugs, the party militias, follow in their wake.

You talk about British culture, but you know little about it apart from the right-wing rants you digest. Yes, I am proud of my Englishness. I am proud of when Gerald Winstanley dug up the land of the rich to turn the world upside down. I am proud of those English men and women who fought for freedom in the English Civil War, the Chartist Movement, the Suffragettes, the General Strike, the Spanish Civil War, the Battle of Cable Street, etc, etc. They fought for the freedom of thought, the freedom to be free of poverty, ignorance and slavery and the freedom from fascism and other forms of authoritarianism. They are not the kings and queens, but the people who made England. They have not died out; they are continuing their fight and have found comrades across the world, from the jungles of Mexico to the streets of Genoa.

The BNP is the other side of the barricade, seeking to retrench the elite and create a wave of repression and racial hatred. The BNP spits on the struggles of the English common man and salutes the Queen, whose crown bears the spoils of imperialism.

To every free-thinking, liberty-loving and rational person, the BNP is vile and the vast majority will always despise its politics.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You stitched yourself up with your own venomous, egotistical lunacy, you snivelling little snot-gobbler. What did you expect a working journalist to do? You treated the guy like he was your personal P.R. man and made him privy to all the irrational, vicious, moronic convictions that really drive you and your demented breed and that you wouldn't dare say if you thought you'd be called to account for it outside of your own circle. The best bit was watching you plead with him to turn off the camera, mid-interview, like the gutless, guiltridden prick you are. There wasn't one good angle to you that emerged in the whole programme. It's now quite plain to several hundred thousand(if not million) people that the young leading light, the great white hope of British Fascism (outside of the govt.) is a blind three legged donkey and a dirty one-eyed shitcunt. Thick, dishonest, (not bright enought to be sly or crafty but dumb enough to think he is) self-obsessed, vulnerable (in a not-endearing but rather revolting, cowardly, riot-cop/mummy's boy sort of a way) possessed of a world view built upon utterly illogical theories and scraps of fantasy rhetoric that wouldn't even hold up under critique from an articulate twelve-year-old.
All of this I find rather reassuring, in that if you're the best they've got then really there's fuck all to worry about from your quarter.
The only let down was that noone actually gave you the sound and righteous shoeing you so richly deserve, and which countless people were hanging out to see, on film. Still, you're a famous face now, scrotum-wart. As I see it you might as well join the filth and make sure that steel door of yours is in good order.
Congratulations to that journo; must have been a vile 8 months but it paid off.

What A Loser!

05.11.2002 14:55

Hi
What a cry baby Mark is!! Did you see how he was crying for his mommy right at the end of the show? The BNP are a pathectic rump who wont get far...even when facism in britain does grow working class people have always physically slapped 'em down so it was in the 30's so it was in the 70's. Sadly for the BNP et al the bulk of those who have taken strong 'measures' against facism have been white workers!
Mark needs help I guess he seemed a sad loser in the TV show!

Will He Top Himself Now?

05.11.2002 15:13

Ha!
Mark remember that bit in the show where you talked about how you go turned on by mentally crushing people to the extent that they topp'd themselves? Well after you were exposed as a gutless wonder, left crying & humiliated a laughing stock even amongst your own BNP buddies..all I want to know is will you now be chosing the razor or OD method?

I feel sorry for the guy. I can see the whole journo thing from his point of view. I think he comes across as quite human in the above article (I didn't see the doc).

Yeah his politics are all wrong but he's not evil - just misguided.

I mostly enjoyed reading the responses that people have written below the article. Clearly he has provoked and inspired great feeling and this comes across in the richness of the texts posted in response.

But to those articulate people I would say that look, aren't you reacting against his policy of hate with hatred of your own? The only thing that makes me doubt the genuineness of this hate is your comedy insults. Shitcunt and Scrotum wart sound just a tad like they're having a laugh.

But seriously. This guy is just someone who's been fucked over by capitalism and has misguidedly found comfort in the politics of hate - which provides a scapegoat for the young man's anger.

Sure he's weak and pathetic but a lot of people can't help the fact that they're not as strong or intelligent as many other human beings. They are not to be hated and derided but merely shown the grave error of their ways.

Slagging this guy off personally is entirely reactionary and I do not agree with this as a tactic. Sure they shouldn't be given a platform, but let us not hate the people of the BNP - they are our fellow human beings, even if they happen to have stumbled across a hateful and misguided ideology.

As for the journo, well he blatently set out to infiltrate the BNP and it was naive of the young fascist not to realise that this was the case. Blatently infiltrating the BNP is fair enough. But did this journo really play fair? No. He quoted the fascist selectively (and out of context) and failed to show him in a balanced light. This foul play in my opinion is not necessary. I believe that the journo could have easily afforded to be more objective. The BNP are so clearly and blatently wrong that even the most accuarate unbiassed protrayal of them should easily convince the public of the unpleasant truth about this party. But to get a better story the journo insisted on being biassed. This is exactly what they do to us - and yet when it's our political oppononents they're doing it to we seem rather less bothered about the dishonesty of the corporate mainstream media.

Well that's my 2000 (cambodian) riel.

Response to Hippy

05.11.2002 15:40

To be honest, I don't hate this man - I couldn't care less about him. He had his 15 minutes and perhaps it will give him time to reflect on how society regards him and his ilk. This is a lesson fascists like this one have to learn. If he has a change of heart, drops his campaign of hate and grows up, then I hope he will find the acceptance he craves. Otherwise, he will remain a very sad man, running his life to appease those fascists who probably couldn't care less about this self-pitying little creature. It's not our responsibility to understand him or sympathise with his pathological hatred of "foreigners". I'm damned if I am going to be a shoulder to cry on for someone who advocates the expulsion and/or murder of my wife because of her skin colour and/or religion. And I'm damned if I am going to be forced to love and respect members of the BNP on the basis that they are misguided.

05.11.2002 15:47

thanks David

05.11.2002 16:31

Great work David Modell - the best way to fight fascism is to beat them off the streets, or publicly ridicule them, and you did a great job with your documentary. As to "hippy", save your sympathy for the asian families with petrol poured through their letter boxes, or my father, who was left in the gutters of Vienna with one testicle cut off by Nazi thugs - luckily he survived, or I wouldn't be here....

I wouldn't give the BNP eight seconds, far less eight months of my time. You and your ilk have been getting maximum publicity on TV recently, Party Political Broadcasts. Can't you see the government WANTS a race war and they are USING ignorant scum like the NF to foment it.

Lets cheer up mark!

05.11.2002 17:30

Poor Mark must feeling a bit silly after being exposed for the less than astute politico that he is on national telly. So I've come up with a way of cheering him up. The next time that Mark and his mates are demonstrating outside a Mosque lets all turn up and beat the sad little nazi fuckwit into a coma. This way he can spend his perminant vegetitive state pretending he is in 1930s germany, instead of boring us with his pro-capitalist hitler loving bullshit.
P.S. Nick Griffin is a fucking hypocrite, as well as former NF leader Martin Webster he also shagged a male colleague of mine in 1982.

05.11.2002 18:04

Actually I kind of agree with hippy, I watched it and I felt sorry for him, he's not like so pure evil being or something he's just got the wrong ideas and stuff, and is misguided. one of the people who he persuaded to vote for him and the guy visited after seemed the same, he was saying stuff timidily that immigrants are getting all the welfare so that they dont call them racist and people like him are getting none, and then his mum who he had lived all his life with started talking about the bloody pakis or something, he didnt sound like an evil person but misguided and mistreated, and also mark told someone that within a short while white people will be a minority, which is completely untrue, but someone agreed, just because they didnt know the truth. i think the part where he compared himself to hitler and stalin was a bit selective and bias, because he was kind of saying he just wanted to make a difference and stand out, but his views on jews were completely wrong, that as theyve been chucked out of every country there must be something wrong with them. all the people saying kill him etc and using crap insults are understandable but he has a right to his views, even though theyre really racist and affect other coloured etc people. if coloured people really were getting all the benefit (which I really doubt) then the answer is not to chuck them out or kill them, it would be to make it equal etc. anyway I'm not really sympathising with his views here or anything, but i felt sorry for him a bit.

Mark Collet is a weedy, scrawny pasty wimp

05.11.2002 18:06

Mark Collet came across as a student nerd wimp, a bit like his mentor lickle lord fauntelroy public school boy poof Enoch Powell. Mark Collet who was a poor example of a long streak of piss, nevermind the aryan master race, resemble a pasty, skinny weed, an spoilt anaemic snooty snobby school boy. Mark who expressed admiration for smack addled LVF loser Billy liar wright and deposed LVF sympathiser roid rage retard Johnny adair. Mark said he would like to be like Billy Wright, DEAD, that can be arranged too.

Why all the 'lets feel sorry for him' emails? Have these people ever experienced 15 nazi scum chasing after you with broken bottles? This guy even had to get his sister to sel his crap CD's! His views on ethnic minorities, gays & women mark him out to be a particulary dysfunctional frog faced moron! As a remedy may i suggest the time honoured aquainting of the said nazi scum's head with the nearest municipal pavement?
