BNP refuses to condemn insult to Queen

11 Comment (s)
The Green Arrow, a BNP supporting blog, has launched a revolting tirade against the Queen, calling her a “traitor”. The BNP have refused to condemn the site. Their toleration of the likes of the Green Arrow shows how there is nothing even remotely patriotic about the BNP.

The GA, which is run by Paul Morris, said that the 84-year old monarch is a “liar and a traitor to her people”.

This is not the first time that the GA has insulted Queen Elizabeth. In January 2010 he wrote:
“The time has come my friends to now talk of treason and sedition. Treason already committed by our own Queen and Sedition that should now be committed by all True British Patriots.

The Queen has already committed five acts of treason by signing EU treaties that have finally abolished Our Nation. She will go down in history as the only monarch to ever have broken her Coronation Oath. We owe her no allegiance and now have an actual patriotic duty to remove and replace her.”
On the Queen’s Christmas message he said his first reaction was to:
“… switch to Anglo Saxon mode and write “”F**k you and your descendants you treasonous bitch”
He went on to urge British citizens to commit sedition:
“She is no Monarch of England or the UK, she is a craven coward who has betrayed Our Trust … The Queen has committed Treason, we must now commit Sedition as Our Patriotic Duty. Long Live the British National Party”
One could be forgiven for thinking that the GA is a lunatic and on the outer fringes of the BNP. However, in December 2008 he was invited as a “welcome guest” of Bridgend BNP. Morris’s blog is extremely popular amongst BNP internet users and has been used as a intermediary by sympathisers such as Bill Murray, former secretary of the Welsh BNP and Director of Soldiers off the Street, in their quarrels with anti-BNP campaigners over their links to the extremist party.

When contacted by Nothing British this morning, the BNP explicitly refused to condemn the GA’s un-patriotic and crude remarks about the Queen. A BNP press officer bizarrely told NB that it was us who were instead “low-life” and “un-patriotic”.

The BNP claim to be patriotic and wrap themselves up in the flag and the Armed Forces. But when the rabble rousing Anjem Choudhury screams for Shariah law and says that the Queen should wear a burka, the BNP and the GA shout out treason and say we have been betrayed by the Establishment for allowing him to say such things. The BNP have one system of values when condemning Choudhury but apply another one for themselves.

Campaign launched to keep BNP festival away from area

2 Comment (s)
A campaign to stop the BNP holding its annual festival in Amber Valley has been started by a local anti-fascist organisation.

Amber Valley Campaign Against Racism and Fascism has plans to fight the right-wing party with a 'No BNP here, thank you' campaign, which it is hoping will be taken up by other people in the borough and around the county. The group plans on setting up a huge petition, signed by thousands of people, which it hopes will keep the event out of the area.

The group said it set up the campaign in response to the £500,000 which was spent on policing this year's Red, White and Blue festival, and the protest march of more than 1,000 people which took place in Codnor on the same weekend in August.

John Kimberley, spokesman for the group, said: "We felt most local people did not want the BNP holding its international fascist festival in our community. Talking with local people over the past few months it is clear they hate the bad name the BNP gives our area. Plus, police money could be better spent on community relations, fighting crime and supporting victims. We believe the best solution is that the BNP do not hold its festival here again."

A spokesman for the BNP said the party had discussed moving the three-day event elsewhere in the country following this year's festival, but no decisions had yet been made on the location for next year, which will be the party's 11th rally.

The petition against the Amber Valley rally, which has been held on land off Codnor-Denby Lane for three years, will be set up online within months.
