hurting people just because of their
skin colour - is wrong. Everyone
knows that. But less well-known is
that racism isn’t a one-way street,
where the guilty are always white and
their innocent victims are always from
ethnic minorities. The real truth is
very different. The vast majority of the
real racism that scars Britain involves
white victims from the indigenous
community. Whether you are English,
Scots, Welsh, Irish or from Ulster,
being white makes you a target,
being white means you’re guilty.
You wouldn’t know this if you believe
the propaganda of the mainstream
media or the lies of the old party
politicians. But most people who live
in the real world will already have
experience of being discriminated
against. We all know that ‘positive
discrimination’ denies perfectly well-
qualified individuals a fair chance
when it comes to a job or promotion.
We all know of poor white areas that
are left to rot while councils throw
millions of pounds at ‘ethnic’ areas.
We all know that Labour, Lib Dem
and Conservative politicians use our
money to give asylum-seekers luxury
homes while homeless ex-
servicemen sleep on the streets.
What many people don’t know,
however, is that the indigenous
peoples of Britain are not just the
victims of such official anti-white
racist bias. Huge and growing
numbers also suffer criminal racism
in its cruellest forms. Unreported by
the mass media, ignored by schools,
covered up by the old politicians - our
people are the silent victims of an
epidemic of racist violence, sexual
exploitation and murder.
To tell this blunt truth is not to accuse
all members of all ethnic minorities of
being involved; of course they are
not. The majority of them are
perfectly law-abiding and decent
people who are as much victims of
the old politicians’ failed multi-cultural
experiment as we are. Our quarrel is
not with them but with the politicians
who have created the mess, and with
the media hacks who conspire with
them to cover up the truth.
The answer to anti-British bias by the
Powers That Be is to get involved
politically and campaign and vote for
change. The answer to anti-white
racist crime is to pressurise the police
to take the problem seriously and to
get tough with racist criminals
regardless of colour. The first step is
to undo years of brainwashing by the
media and by a racist school
curriculum designed to deny our
community a sense of pride. Tell your
mates that being white isn’t a crime,
that being British doesn’t make you
‘guilty’ of slavery or racism.
Understand that the British nations in
general, and the English in particular,
are relentlessly discriminated against
and shamefully treated by an
institutionally hostile ruling class. This
is why this brief introduction to the
real life facts about racist murder and
sexual predation is likely to come as
a shock. I hope you will take a few
minutes to find out for yourself, and
then decide to do something to help
us to right these terrible wrongs.

report from Calais
27.09.2012 16:53
All the houses we have squatted the night before last were closed yesterday by the police but have been re-opened, but will again be closed soon as police are sitting in cars outside of them.
Any people who tried to enter the place of food distribution last night were pounced upon by police who waited in the car park opposite all night. Many people were unable to sleep last night and walked all night in the rain looking for somewhere they could stay.. We distributed all our tents yesterday - also medicin du monde gave everyone plastic and salam distributed blankets again.
There are many people in detention in Coquelles, including one minor who the police refuse to believe is under 18. Yesterday 16 minors were arrested in the raid on the Afghans. There are four children under ten here at the moment.
The people detained have the usual complaints about Coquelles - poor conditions, bad food, racist and humiliating behaviour from the police - for example, the officers have been holding their noses when people walk past in the hallways, implying that people smell. Many people inside have no idea of their legal rights, although France Terre d'Asile work inside coquelles many people we have been visiting and speaking with have never heard of them. The police are deliberately trying to stop communication between the different sections of the prison - people are rushed to the hall for eating and moved out again very quickly so as they do not talk to each other. The rooms are full - up to five people in each.
Many people inside were people arrested in the big raid on the place of food distribution - the police took their bags and are refusing to give them back to people now in detention - always saying "tomorrow, tomorrow.." People are unable to change their clothes. One man doesnt even have any shoes as he was refused by the police, when they arrested him, to retrieve them from his bag - so he was walked barefoot to the arrest van and into the police station..
With the constant heavy rain and crazy numbers of police on the street people dont know what to do with themselves. Nowhere is safe, nowhere is dry and people are so tired.
