In record time, the BNP's life insurance branch, Albion Life, looks like it's on its way out, just weeks after appearing on the scene eager to rake in its share of premiums from gullible BNP members. A slightly hysterical notice pasted up on the Albion Life site states:

'As at 02/10/06 we are unable to accept any more requests for quotes which we would normally pass on to the firm of life insurance brokers with whom we have hitherto been working.

Since the appearance, in the gutter press, of an article which mentioned the name and address of the South Wales based life insurance brokers the firm has been under considerable pressure and staff have suffered intimidation, including threats of physical violence, to sever links with Albion Life because Albion is managed by patriotic Britons who want to ensure that there is a future for British children in these islands in the North Atlantic which are OUR homeland.

The article appeared in the Western Mail, part of the Labour supporting Trinity Mirror Group, penned by Martin Shipton who is a local representative of the extreme left-wing National Union of Journalists. Although it claims to be the 'paper of Wales', the Mail's paid for circulation of just 40,000 is less than that of the BNP's monthly tabloid 'Voice of Freedom'. A fact commcercial [sic] advertisers would do well to take note!

We are currently working to secure a replacement broker, so please bookmark this page and return again shortly. Nothing will stop Albion conducting business to raise funds for the BNP - our struggle is a matter of life and death for our people and we do not yield to intimidation and threats.

The far left internationalists and so called anti-racists have to resort to illegal activity to try and stop the progress of the forces of patriotism and British nationalism because they cannot win the debate, in fact refuse to enter the debate, and they cannot stop the legions of British voters who are turning to the British National Party in increasing numbers.'

Disregarding the bullshit about threats and intimidation (for which there is absolutely no evidence except for the BNP's statement, and we all know what a bunch of liars they are) this must be the shortest lifespan of any insurance broker ever. Insurance companies tend to be stable and super-rich (which is no doubt what Nick Griffin was hoping to become off the back of this scam) but on this occasion, this one looks to have fallen at the first post.

It may get up again but it won't stay up for long and if we were Nick Griffin and the BNP, we'd have the vet on standby to do the decent thing and put it out of its misery.
