Ethnic Minority Guests at BNP Meeting
Last night’s meeting of the BNP’s Croydon branch, attracted some ethnic minority pub-goers. The two men were peering through the window, wondering why the large crowd were gathering, upon being spotted, some elderly BNP veterans waved for them to come in and join the meeting.
The two men – one asian; one afro-carribean – enjoyed the talks by Richard Barnbrook AM, and had lots of questions. One being: “how can we get this country back to the way it was?”
The Asian gentleman explained that he was a British army veteran, which was greeted by a warm, respectful applause from the BNP members.
A member present at the meeting, reports:
“He also said he had a mixed race child and he does not like political correctness, they were asked to become members at a later date, i’m not sure if they will. I think they were quite happy to a stumbled apon a BNP meeting, something to talk about with their mates. I think they were very curious and hopefully came away with the knowledge that the BNP are very different as to how they are portrayed in the MSM, on my way out I gave one of them one of my DVD’s, me and my mate make them, it is a newspaper in a DVD format, presenting news that is censored in the MSM, anyway he was happy with that and said he’d watch.
They were made very welcome, who said the BNP can’t be inclusive?”
I know some are worried about how they will manage ethnic minority members. The answer is simple, the answer is contained within the BNP’s philosophy towards ethnic minorities; treat them exactly the same as you would any other member, no condescending lovefest and certainly nothing that would constitute bad manners. Common sense stuff.
A very small minority may stop coming to meetings if ethnic minorities attend. I would question how on earth they function in a multi-racial society (you may not like it, but it’s a fact of life for most people living in large cities) if they cannot even bring themselves to sit next to an ethnic minority. Have their careers never once brought them into contact with minority customers or colleagues? If so, did they shun or run from them, rather than engage?
Some have foretold large invasions of meetings by searchlight plants. You can counter this by making all your meetings strictly members only, no card; no entry, regardless of race, ethnicity, etc.
This could all turn out to be academic as the amendments are yet to be ratified by the membership. If you wish to vote on the constitutional amendments then you must attend the Emergency General Meeting on the 30th/31st of January 2010.
Hat-tip: Political Mizz
Guests, yes. Minority, yes. Simple words that say it all.
I joined our Party because it is protection for the indigenous race of this country. I have no objections to "British" ethnics supporting us, but we need to be on our toes and ensure their support does not destroy us.
Did anyone ask the guests if they support the right of indigenous Britons above all others to determine their future in these lands?
Such questions are usually asked when the road forks.
This question did not come up but only because they had accidently stumbled on the meeting rather than specifically set out to attend a BNP meeting, yes, of course who knows what the answer would be to that question.
I concur with the other posters. However I would be upset if the BNP started to use ethnics as a selling point, and made examples of token ethnics in order to shake off the racist tag. To do such a thing would be to become part of the establishment parties.
I think once the BNP membership is opened up we will have ethnic and natives turning up out of curiousity, maybe they'll stay, it's certainly exciting times for the BNP.
You may shoot me down in flames for saying this but i for one wouldn't be happy turning up for my monthly BNP meeting to be greeted with a room full of people from different races/ethnicity. If they want to vote for us then fine, if they want to join the party and give us their money, so be it, but once a month i go to my local meeting to be with people of my own extraction, i hope that last place of solace isn't taken from me.
Once the BNP lets in ethnics you might as well join UKIP, what's the difference?
Spin of the worst type. This is part of a report posted elsewhere by Paul Ballard from Croydon BNP
http://www.nwn-forum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2979
" I have subsequently heard that there were several other blacks at the bar in the Croydon incident, apparently acting as back-up, so it would appear that a degree of coercion was involved and that the fairly small number of members present felt too intimidated to act. Clearly Griffin's reluctance to make any real attempt to resist the legal action by the Equality Commission is sending all the wrong signals to our adversaries and they regard the lack of resistance to coercion as extreme weakness.
I would be grateful if all recipients forward this message to all useful contacts as soon as possible.

'Acting as a back-up' – And that's not spin? Nothing like a siege atmosphere, is there?
'Coercion' & 'members felt too intimidated to act' – Absolute bollocks, they were invited in by the members, the meeting went ahead as normal with the two guests present.
I can't believe this, suddenly, it's all some plot. Ethnic minority gangs waiting to force their way into BNP meetings across the country.
If you're going to lie, make it believable, chumps.
"I can't believe this, suddenly, it's all some plot. Ethnic minority gangs waiting to force their way into BNP meetings across the country."
Believe it, Oak. It's going to happen.
Black and white unite….join the BNP!
The voice of the indigenous Britons will be lost and it is Mr Griffin who welcomes the Island invaders into our Nationalist party!
Griffins name will go down in British history for all the wrong reasons.
Once they are allowed in,there will be no way of turning back.THESE ACTIONS CANNOT BE REVERSED!
Britons WAKE up!
Look at the comments for the article below,not so long ago we would have slaughtered the opposition.But now there is no one supporting us!
Griffins decision to make the BNP multi racial is the wrong decision and is HIS decision because he was the one who proposed the idea a few years back.

I'm the organiser of said branch, so I was of course in attendance at the meeting. This meeting was poorly attended [maybe because of the weather/proximity to Christmas?], with only about half the usual number of people there [if that]. I think this gave these two chaps the confidence to gate-crash. Incidentally, I'm thinking of putting up a sign at the door next time, saying 'private members only meting'. These two were not particularly offensive, & contary to what Mr Ballard [who wasn't even there] has been saying, our new chairman did a good job in diffusing any potential trouble. It's better for our PR in a way, that we allowed them to stay. However, I live in an area where I'm an ethnic minority, so I need the escapism of being surrounded by only my own people.
Personally I can see the logic from a PR perspective of allowing BME guests attend our meetings, I also think it may well deter some undesirable types. However, whilst I'd never advocate being rude to those ethnics who wish to attend, I'm a little uncomfortable with the prospect that they may have ulterior motives, also I'd hat for the BNP to become a civic nationalist party.
This is the definition of "civic nationalism".Civic nationalism defines the nation as an association of people with equal and shared political rights, and allegiance to similar political procedures.According to the principles of civic nationalism the nation is not based on common ethnic ancestry, but is a political entity, whose core is not ethnicity.(repeat "NOT ETHNICITY!)
Eddy above asked what is the difference between UKIP and the BNP? I say absolutely nothing.(maybe you know where you stand with UKIP though.)
We are getting slaughtered at the polls and good nationalists are dropping like flies,we can all see this.Why are certain people so dedicated to killing the party?
Would i feel comfortable sitting with various ethnics at BNP meetings? no of course i wouldn't,neither would any true nationalist.
The BNP is still committed to ethnonationalism; it wants Britain to be for the indigenous Britons. It just accepts the fact that it would be immoral to deport every non-indigenous person in Britain, and if you're going to find out who the decent non-British are, you might as well see who sympathizes with the BNP and supports the right of Britain to be British.
I do share the concern that the BNP risks being becoming a civic nationalist party in the future due to a large influx of new members who may not understand the vital differences between the nationalist ideologies. Arthur Kemp and Nick Griffin recently wrote a pamphlet explaining ethnonationalism, and I hope the BNP takes more proactive steps in educating the new BNP members on why national identity is more than culture or citizenship.
Well said Oak,
If it gets through the court, there will be massive interest from all walks of life and the media, as to how this will affect the party and it's members and supporters. My guess is that when all the hullabaloo quietens down after a few months, people will wonder what all the fuss was about.
The new constitution will truly 'open the door', not necessarily to 'invading hoards' of wannabe ethnic minority members, but to hundreds of thousands of indigenous British, who's only reason not to vote for us has been the CURRENT constitution.
Prepare to see a sea-change rise in our percentage vote, and the first British National Party MP's.
