BNP puppets are not the real threat

0 Comment (s)
Underground art and music are far more effective recruitment tools for the far right

A few days ago the youth BNP's charmless Billy Brit appeared in my Facebook feed. There was something both bizarre and inept about the clip: a pale cream sub-Sesame Street puppet speaks in a castrato voice in front of a backdrop that looks like it's been set-dressed by the guy who does beheading videos. The puppet reads an old-fashioned tum-tee-tum rhyme, name-checking a canon of white heroes, the kind of stirring stuff a nostalgic middle-aged BNP activist might remember learning by rote at school. It's both awkward and hectoring; Edward I is catchily described as "a tall articulate giver of law", a garbled phrase that sounds like it was cribbed from a prewar textbook. "Physics and maths" are glossed as the "essential stuff" which made racial hero Isaac Newton such an upstanding chap.

As an effective recruitment tool for Britain's under-13s, Billy Brit must rank about as high as BNP-branded conkers or a chance to sit on Nick Griffin's knee. The injunction to vote at the end suggests that it's not really aimed at kids at all, but is a viral come-on to the highly ironised stoner constituency who surf YouTube looking for the next Peer Pressure or Numa Numa Boy. Inevitably, Billy has already been parodied on the internet and the threat he represents to the nation's youth is surely slight. Despite the hand-wringing, I also find it hard to get exercised by the recent "revelation" that BNP activists are trawling social networking sites such as Bebo and Facebook. Everyone's online these days, from amputee fetishists to coffee-coloured burka-wearing Francophile miscegenaters like myself. The young generation of "internet natives" has grown up wandering through the digital forest, exposed to the shadows to a degree their parents don't yet comprehend.

This isn't to say I'm complacent about fascists sniffing round the fringes of youth culture. Like paedophiles and science fiction fans, the far right were quick to wise up to the internet, and since the early 1990s I've occasionally surfed my way through their offerings, intrigued by the constantly mutating subculture of white nationalism. Worried liberals usually invoke the image of the skinhead thug, but there's always been a second strand to fascism, a culture that's less big boots and more socks and sandals, a cranky, vegetarian, pagan, back-to-the-land folksiness that in its current incarnation has real potential appeal to environmentally conscious, anti-globalist young people.

You get hints of it even in mainstream BNP material. The party has done a good job of getting its members out of acid-wash and into Austin Reed, and anyone near a camera has hair of a reasonable length, but they can't quite stamp out the runes. Griffin, their leader, has released an album of folk songs, whose cover is like something from a Norwegian blood metal band, complete with runic title and an image of the black sun, a pagan occult symbol much beloved of neo-Nazis. It's hard to say exactly what it represents to this reasonable middle-of-the-road politician, but his party maintains links with racist neopagan groups around Europe, many of which profess a version of Odinism or Icelandic Asatru where the black sun features as a religious symbol. More Odinist than most are the Tempelhof gesellschaft, an Austrian outfit which believes that the Aryan race is of extraterrestrial origin (Aldebaran, since you ask), destined to dominate the other races, due to the "vril" energy pumped out by the black sun. If Griffin's actually from Aldebaran, wouldn't that technically make him an asylum seeker?

Taking the mick out of fringe Nazi occultism is like shooting fish in a barrel, but in the US, racist Odinism has become a major force in the prison system, compelling authorities there to recognise it as a legitimate religion. The glamour of Nordic myths has long been an influence on the overlapping youth cultures of heavy metal, fantasy, and role-playing. As an obsessive teenage Dungeons and Dragons player I drew sigils on my exercise books and invented characters with horned helmets and multisyllabic names. Though (self-evidently) I was a giant nerd, I never became a metal fan. I did go through a Tolkien phase, during which it never occurred to me there was a racial dimension to his borrowings from Norse and Anglo-Saxon. So I felt a little soiled to discover that since the release of the movies, a huge white nationalist Tolkien fanbase has developed.

Only a fraction of the users of Nordic imagery are racists, but this culture is a much more credible recruiting tool for disaffected white kids than a sock puppet. There are strands within industrial music, goth, neofolk and emo which flirt with fascist imagery. This is nothing new (as any Joy Division fan can attest) and doesn't necessarily amount to anything more sinister than a wish to shock, shared by teenagers since the dawn of time. A tiny minority of bands are overtly "political", but it's not hard to detect a certain, um, tendency in the aesthetic of labels such as Slaughter in Art, whose blurb for the album Blut Unter Den Fahnen describes it as "apocalyptic war music ... a homage to the victims of allied bombardments, and in particular to the town of Dresden. Martial post-industrial, orchestral, neoclassical with dark ambient. Heroic imagery with some German historical excerpts."

There are more mainstream tendrils to socks-and-sandals fascism, which should concern voters considering the BNP as a protest vote in Thursday's EU elections. Next to Billy Brit, the youth BNP site offers a video in which a young man explains that "nationalism is not only an idea for the conscious mind but for the subconscious mind, what is more commonly known as the heart, the soul, or the folk soul." The idea of a racial soul, operating at a preconscious "blood" level, will be familiar to students of Germany's Völkisch movement - which provided much of the ideological impetus for national socialism. This was a huge cultural tendency, which also gave rise to such things as Steiner schools and biodynamic farming, and many neo-Völkisch sects survive today across Europe, united in little but their hatred of modernity, immigration and multiculturalism. The BNP describes itself as "Britain's only real Green party", and claims that overpopulation, driven by immigration, is the main cause of our ecological woes. These "green" policies are really the tip of a Völkisch iceberg, and around Europe a Völkisch paganism is being refurbished to appeal to young people who crave some kind of rebirth or revolution, and often look for it in the anti-globalisation movement. The idea that the destruction of the environment is linked to the repression of ethnic identity is particularly insidious. When accompanied by the notion, common to certain strands of fascism and environmentalism, that through technology, modernity has not only destroyed nature, but also the spiritual dimension of life, you get the beginnings of a politics that could really speak to the next generation, brought up within the current pale green orthodoxy. Personally I'm far more bothered about that than a stupid puppet.

All you fascists are bound to lose!

There’s trouble up North, as this could be the year that the far-right BNP manages to get an MEP. Two years ago in its strongest electoral showing, the party held 47 council seats nationwide.

BNP has one London Assembly member, Richard Barnbrook, though he tends to be shunned at Mayor’s Question Time and, being firmly in the minority, he is allowed only limited time to answer questions, meaning limited publicity.

The real danger is that when the north-west region votes in next month’s European elections, under a system using proportional representation, its candidate and chairman Nick Griffin needs just eight per cent of the vote to give the British far right its first ever Euro seat. Last time it polled 6.5 per cent. The implosion of UKIP leaves many potential votes up for grabs.

A further danger is the possibility of this creating a far right block within the European parliament with Italian and Scandinavian groups. The right has proved remarkably fractious though, and last year the Italian and Romanian far right fell out. The BNP had its own very public dispute when several disgruntled members published the entire membership list online.

The party has launched several election strategies to try and secure its new seat, including Operation Fightback, an email service that highlights what they think is unfair reportage in the media. It provides activists with contact details to bombard the newspapers or broadcasters.

The Youth BNP runs a summer camp including lessons in self-defence and marksmanship. For the youngest there is even a puppet called Billy the Brit who spews forth bile in the comic Comet, along with sweet advice that if “you are a younger person then your best plan is to help your Mum and Dad by making cups of tea, or helping your parents with the housework.”

Most students’ image of the BNP is of fat, balding, middle-aged racists outside pubs. That is certainly part of it, but the party has made an effort to clean up its image; activists have been told to cover up tattoos when canvassing, and three of the five East Midlands candidates are university educated and middle class (for example).

They have tended to focus on ‘practical politics’, fixing lifts on neglected estates, rubbish clearance, stuff that other councillors tend to ignore. This has made them very popular amongst certain communities in Manchester, Cumbria, East London etc, which have seen high unemployment and the death of industry. These voters typically feel that local politicians neither care about nor understand them, or the areas in which they live. The BNP’s rhetoric, that white Britons are already ’second class citizens in our own country’ and ‘British jobs for British workers’, connects with people who perceive that immigrants get a better deal.

Media debates about immigration do little to help; it does not make people racist to want good housing and health care for their kids. They are certainly misguided if they think that a party of ignorant fools like the BNP could ever provide this, but branding these voters racist only compounds their sense of persecution.

Hope Not Hate fear that this cocktail of discontent means “the breadth of BNP support should be cause for concern. The BNP has grown in new areas of the West Midlands and averaged 24.6% of the vote in the 12 wards it contested in Nuneaton & Bedworth in last year’s local elections, an authority where the party had never stood before other than in by-elections.”

Another aspect of the BNP’s appeal is that under their Union Jack logo, the party encompasses a whole host of other grievances; from the fact that imperial weights and measures are no longer used, political correctness, health and safety culture, or as they call it ‘the complete annihilation of all things British.’

The expenses scandal in Westminster has given further ammunition for their brand of anti-politics, calling for all ‘pigs to get their snouts out of the trough.’

Still, the party is hampered by a lack of manpower, a funding shortage, and the very fact that within British politics, extremist parties of either wing have never achieved what their brothers on the continent could do. Despite a claim to represent the ‘indigenous nations’ of Scotland, Wales and Ireland, they find very little support there. The BNP has been further broken after the disaster of the publication of the BNP members list.

If this makes them all sound a little bit pitiable, grumpy old Colonels and few skinhead bootboys, it should not. Just because they wear suits, fix lifts, and appear to care does not make views to ‘reach an accord with the Muslim world whereby they will agree to take back their excess population which is currently colonising this country’ any less abhorrent. At a conference in Texas, Griffin himself stated that “we are determined to sell our ideas, to use these saleable words like freedom security identity democracy.

“Perhaps one day when, by being a little more subtle, we were in a position of controlling the British broadcasting media, the British people will change their mind and say every last one [non-white] must go.”

The BNP still harbour a deeply racist agenda, and for all the new presentation, their vision of Britain would be one of a hateful violent nation. An MEP for the party would give hundreds of thousands of pounds in salary and office resources to the party. The Hope Not Hate coalition should hopefully force up the voting numbers out of reach of what the BNP needs for its PR seats, but it depends on every vote possible, be it Labour, Tory or Liberal Democrat.

Hope Not Hate released a statement saying “nothing is certain in politics and while the terrain is certainly getting tougher the BNP can be defeated. However for this to happen requires a massive campaign to mobilise everyone opposed to the politics of hate to turn out and vote. We have shown time and again that there is a huge anti-BNP vote out there and if it is organised and motivated then it will turn up at the polling stations and be decisive in an election.”

BNP targets kids in weekend training sessions

The BNP is setting up a Britler Youth to indoctrinate children, we can reveal. Party chiefs are trawling internet chatrooms to lure kids as young as 13 to weekend camps where they will be taught shooting, self-defence and nationalist ideology. And some aged eight are being targeted by a new British National Party comic. It features a venom-spouting racist puppet called Billy Brit. who praises Enoch Powell's infamous Rivers Of Blood speech.

Last night a spokesman for anti-racist group Searchlight stormed: "This is sickening. Every parent should be warned that it could be your children these extremists are after."

Top of the far-right party's sinister new recruitment drive is their version of the Hitler Youth. Members start off as "junior patriots" at 13 and are given ID cards, a newsletter and a training book with lessons in "ethno nationalism". They are invited to the BNP's annual youth camp and two training camps where they have to keep records of their improvement in shooting, self defence, flag drills and ideology. They must carry out between four and eight hours of "political activism" a month.

"Patriots" must attend all three events to become leaders of the Young BNP.

The camps are held over weekends in the countryside. The last one was held in Derbyshire. Similar camps run by Germany's far-right group, the Youth Faithful To The Homeland, were recently outlawed for trying to indoctrinate kids with Nazi ideology.

But BNP leader Nick Griffin is determined to lure even younger children to his party's beliefs-with a puppet and a comic called The Comet aimed at children from the age of eight. The sinister "Billy Brit" is already featured on the BNP website where he reads his "educational poems". In one called Heroes he praises MP Enoch Powell for his infamous speech about immigration in 1968.

Racist Billy rants: "He gave a speech called Rivers Of Blood and never gave up the fight. Enoch Powell spoke for me. And Enoch Powell was white." Youngsters are sent signed photos of Billy.

There is also a website for Young Supporters with quizzes, games and events. It includes the BNP demand for an official White History month. They even have kids posing in BNP T-shirts on their merchandise site and are selling Enoch Powell T-shirts emblazoned with his face on the front alongside the Union Jack.

The Comet comic is sent out to kids between the ages of eight and 12. It says it is delivered to "all you eight to 12-year-olds out there who love your country, Great Britain. Yes that's Great as in Grrrrrrrreat!!! With the British National Party it can become great again."

It tells kids: "Your job is to find out the truth about what's going on in the world (and of all the political parties in this country, the only one you can count on to tell you the truth is the British National Party)."

The party is also targeting children's chatrooms on the internet as part of its campaign to lure youngsters. Anonymous BNP chiefs befriend unwitting users on sites like Bebo. They operate under the user name "Young Brit". The sinister strategy has led to a flood of complaints. One youngster on the site wrote in reply: "What a sad and pathetic life you lead." Another branded Young Brit a "perv."

The revelation comes after the News of the World exposed BNP plans to use internet blogs to spread damaging stories about rivals. Labour fears the BNP is stronger than ever and could win seven seats in June's Euro elections.
