More BNP Lies
ANTIFA | 23.05.2009 16:42
The BNP released their newest propoganda last week only to have none other than the Daily Mail rip it to shit.
BNP LIES
They are the leaflets the British National Party hope will bring them success in the European elections.
They feature a doctor, a trio of builders and an elderly couple, proudly backing Britain and echoing BNP policies. But the pictures have been exposed as a sham.
Far from living up to the BNP slogan of 'British Jobs for British Workers', the 'voters' have been revealed to be Americans and Italians. Naturally they never uttered the words they are supposed to have said.
Even a wartime Spitfire pictured in BNP literature was flown by Polish pilots.
Now the models and photographers involved have reacted angrily to their images being linked to a party many people deem to be deeply racist.
The three 'British builders' are actually models who posed in Portland, Oregon. The men have not been named but photographer Boone Rodriguez finds the BNP message particularly insulting as he is the grandson of a Mexican immigrant to the U.S. He said: 'It sounds like this group is considered quite racist, which is despicable.'
Mr Rodriguez managed to find some humour in the situation, however, saying: 'It is ironic that they ended up choosing images from an American photographer whose grandfather moved here from Mexico.
The 'doctor', part-time actor Bob Cousins, 47, from Atlanta, Georgia, has never had any medical training and has never spoken to the BNP.
His picture is one of the most popular 'doctors' on the website of the Canadian iStockphoto agency and has been sold some 25,000 times.
He said last night: 'It is my personal policy not to publicly endorse any political party, regardless of their views, or platform. iStockphoto is investigating this misuse.'
Photographer Kelly Talele has been bombarded with emails over the BNP leaflets.
She said: 'If I'd known, I really wouldn't have wanted one of my pictures to be used like this. It's not something I would want to be associated with.'
The two 'UK pensioners' are actually Italians and the picture was taken by their son, who now lives in London.
The use of the photograph has alarmed him so much that he has asked not to be named for fear of repercussions.
He said: 'I am very unhappy that this image has been used. This is not something that I or my parents agree with.'
A spokesman for the BNP defended their use of stock photographs and said it did not matter if the people pictured were genuine supporters or not.
He said: 'All political parties use stock images like this. It's common practice.'
He insisted that the quotes attributed to the models were genuine comments from BNP supporters.
The spokesman added: 'We would like to have our supporters in the leaflet. We still have them - members of the police and medical profession - but if they appeared they would get the sack.
'This makes no difference to us or our policies.'

Will the Lies ever end?

This begs several questions. Such as, why the support by BNP Members for Redwatch. Surely this means that people on Redwatch can rightly fear attack - despite protestations by the BNP. If the BNP fears for people put onto election leaflets then it seems reasonable to state that everybody can fear being photographed by the "thug and fantasist" element of the BNP. Then again, the leaflet could state "posed by actors" to make it clear. Perhaps there is no fear of attack. The lie that the BNP fear anything is in contrast to the endless portrayal of Nick Griffin as Fearless. Confused lies but big lies nevertheless.
Perhaps the fear is that BNP members are usually known to the Police and Community for their antisocial and criminal activities. Such as Joe Owen bragging about his violent past and being found guilty of sending razor blades to Jewish People. Or, Nick Griffins own criminal past. Or, Lecomber. Or Foy, White or Watmough. The BNP needs the lie that they fear their members will be targeted to avoid scrutiny of their members targeting others.
Perhaps the fear is of the world seeing the BNP grassroots activists. Or, at least, identifying someone to ask about the state of finances at the BNP. Pretty embarassing for the leadership to be found to be fearing bankruptcy on the eve of an election. Or, perhaps there are no grassroots activists. Perhaps people have suddenly become wiser and questioned where the money is going.
Perhaps Mister Brayshaw could be pictured next to a shredder with receipts. In a letter, Mr Brayshaw said party treasurer John Walker and his deputy David Hannam visited his home for a week to complete the accounts. He witnessed some unusual activities, namely the shredding of a large number of documents and invoices. Perhaps the six year retention of financial documents is not BNP Policy. But that was a year ago - who remembers that long ago?
Or perhaps the BNP leaflet could stop showing people altogether and just show the graph of finances. End of year accounts for the BNP show it recorded an annual loss of £94,711 in 2006 £52,000 of debts in 2007. The funding crisis, revealed in accountancy documents, showed membership has plunged by 25 per cent in 12 months. So, the BNP might want to explain why it squandered party funds on purchasing photographs when members could be asked to appear for free.

The whole mass immigration equals mass unemployment slogan is tired, pointless and a decade out of date.
The BNP is looking more like the Tory Party - which is sad because it makes the tories start to look electable.

Immigrants also cause a housing shortage by taking homes that British people could have. If there are millions of immigrants in this country then that means millions fewer homes for British people.
Britain should also accept no asylum seekers as asylum seekers are supposed to seek asylum in the first safe country that they come to. All asylum seekers here have crossed several safe countries to get here.

The Building Trade (those small businesses that the BNP love to court) like to employ out of the area to prevent union activism. That leaves a hole in the local economy as they bus in people like cattle. The increased use of private contractors in the health service and every other part of public life means that habit has spread. It is multinational corporate greed and banking that has caused the perception of shortage in jobs and housing.
Put it bluntly - the BNP wants a disaster because otherwise they will get their arses kicked in the elections as well as on the streets.

Easy british jobs?
23.05.2009 22:09
hahahaha, doctors and nurses, jobs British people could EASILY do? Last time I looked you needed to be qualified for that type of thing, which implies education, which implies a certain level of financial security. I some how doubt the 'foreign' doctors and what not are stealing british jobs and british houses - more likely they're being asked over here because we don't have enough of them.
And there may not be jobs paid below the minimum wage (and there are actually, I've had to do them before) but there certainly are jobs that a lot of british people don't want to do. Anyhoos, I'm leaving Britain soon so I give permission for a 'foreigner' to come and take my british job.

British Jobs?
24.05.2009 00:39
Jobs for British people?
Well there are millions of British people doing jobs all over the world. If other governments decided to enact the policies of the BNP then thousands of British people will loose their job and visa.
Jobs by British companies?
Well British companies operate all over the world hiring local workers, are these British Jobs?
Jobs in Britain?
And how many multinational companies operate in the UK and employ local British people? Millions!
So what makes a British Job for British Worker? Unless the true message of the BNP is one of divide and rule with simple slogans for simple minds. The result is the same - division, exploitation and the making of idle muppets (BNP) into a "professional" party.
Anyone that seen the election broadcast know what thick fuckwits they are, but they appear at a time where there slogans can be easily digested and transferred into votes. It takes 4 seconds for someone to read and process propaganda on this level, it will take much longer to convince people the true nature and purpose of it. For all the complaints the BNP have over the "media" and mass culture - they are benefitting from an unquestioning and dumbed down public that are too eager to say "yeah alright, now sort out this mess party x,y,z". This ignorance and de-mobilisation in society will be the key to the BNP success.

'Pimp my Ride' tip
24.05.2009 10:30
Today we are going to show you how to decorate your parents or neighbours car, as a special treat, perhaps for a birthday or an election.
First, think up a simple message or choose their favourite symbol to show them you care. We are going to use the Sauwastika, a buddhist symbol but you could choose anything. You will need sticky back plastic, plastic gloves, lots of coins and some metal-adhesive.
Get some sticky-backed plastic, or self-adhesive A4 sheets will do. Place the coins on the sticky side of the sheet so that it forms the mirror-image of the symbol or words you have chosen. You can use a mirror to help do this, or you can print it onto the paper in advance. You can prepare as many of these coin-sheets as you need in advance.
Go to the car, but don't let them see you or it will ruin the surprise, maybe do it at night. The strongest metal adhesives need to be mixed in advance so put on your gloves. Paint or smear the visible side of all the coins with the adhesive. Wait for thirty minutes until it begins to harden slightly. Apply the sheet of coins to the car bodywork and the coins will stick to the car within another thirty minutes, at which point you can remove the sheet. Alternatively just leave them to remove the sheet themselves next morning. You'll want to be there though to see the look of surprise and delight on their faces when they realise their boring old car has been thoughtfully decorated.
If you have any left over metal adhesive then you can apply it in various places to make the car more secure. For instance the air-inlets on the tyres or the door key holes are both security risks unless they are properly secured.
Next week, we will show you how you can lay strips of cloth cut into symbols or characters and doused in brake fluid to help personalise car paintwork even further so you might want to wait and do both at once.

As far as propaganda goes, I have to say, I think the BNP leaflets are amongst the best put out by any political party centre or radical. Obviously, this is not to endorse their politics. For example, today I got a leaflet from the lib dems with my local candidate pictured "bagging shopping in Tescos with vince cable"
FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU
_bagging shopping_???? I'm supposed to vote for a politician because I believe they'll bag my shopping in tescos (didn't they get the memo about plastic bags being un-PC?)..
It would be impossible to produce shit more bland, patronising and lacking in any semblance of rhetorical clout than the kind of stuff the mainstream parties put through people's doors. The BNPs leaflet is great because
- it's colourful
- uses classic symbolism
- uses appropriately direct and unpretentious rhetoric and imagery to target the lumpenproletariat
Anyone who would even think twice about voting, let alone voting for the BNP is too gormless to care about the provenance of the pics in their leaflets.

The BNP Leaflets are good?

The truth is, the BNP may have broken electoral law by paying people to appear on their leaflets.
No amount of stunning advertising can stop the BNP from demonstrating their utter depravity in public. Any politician - like Vince Cable for example - will be criticised for their leaflets. It just so happens that the BNP sketch out their lies in public using their leaflets.
oh come of it
If you don't like the BNP then don't vote for them.

We live a democracy in this country where people are entitled to vote for what ever party they want to and to believe in whatever politics they want to as well. If you don't like our democracy then leave Britain now!

Let the BNP get on with it and allow the electorate to make up its own mind. If you don't like the choice, you should have stood for election yourself. Of course, that would go against your anarcho-hippy principles.
