Preston & Lancaster Voice of Change says: 'Well done Richard Barnbrook, and Well done London BNP.'
Lions lead by fools, are still lions!

Last month, a Parish meeting Hall in the small English village of Brinsley in Nottinghamshire, saw well over a 100 BNP members attend a meeting to discuss much needed democratic changes to the party’s constitution, and how these can best be achieved.
Cllr Roger Robertson, who until last month was the BNP’s SE regional organiser, chaired the Conference. Also on the top table with Cllr Robertson were; Cllr Sadie Graham, Kenny Smith, and Steve Blake.
The first half of the meeting saw, Cllr Sadie Graham, Kenny Smith, and Steve Blake give detailed accounts of the troubles and mismanagement that led up to the current crisis within the party. People listening to theses accounts were left in no doubt that: most if not all the problem could be laid at the feet of just one man, Mark Collett! Although of course, as Chairman, the final responsibility for allowing the megalomaniac Collett to rake this havoc on the party, must be Nick Griffin's. Kenny explained that he had started the ‘Enough is Enough’ (EiE) blog, only after the Chairman had subverted the party’s constitution and threatened to sack anyone complaining about the situation. At that point his duty to the ordinary grassroots members, who pay his wages, clearly outweighed any duty of loyalty he owed to a Chairman who was allowing this damage to continue unchallenged. The next speaker was Cllr Sadie Graham, who gave an extremely professional presentation about the essential changes that are need, within the BNP, if we are to become a major political party that can take on and beat any of the current big three parties. These changes, she explained, are also needed for the internal stability of the Party.
After a short break, questions were taken from the floor and the feelings of ordinary members on how to take the party forward, to a fully democratic and electable party, were canvassed. Shows of Hands were taken from motions laid by members to the meeting. One of these votes decided by an overwhelming majority that no new party should be considered, and that far from wanting to split the party, this movement is a pressure group for democratic change within the party. To this end a leadership challenge will be mounted, as soon as the current constitution allows. Although who that candidate will be will depend on the whether the currently expelled members get their membership back in time for that election.
It was also decided that the issue of supporting, and taking an active part in, current BNP campaigns and other events should be left to the individual’s own conscience. The meeting ended with a round up of planned events and the sale of merchandise to raise funds for the family defence fund, which was given by Bev Jones.
Everyone who attended the conference yesterday can now be in no doubt that: Griffin has bitten off more than he can chew this time!
.
A Final word about how we should progress now.
My own view on this issue of members taking part in upcoming BNP events, and campaigns, is: that we should make an effort to take part in every available way we can. And we should do this while clearly identifying ourselves as part of the VofC pressure group, ie start our leadership challenge now! Obviously a badge saying ‘Griffin must go’ is a none starter, but one that is recognised by our own members as identifying us as VofC supporters, while meaning something entirely different to the voting public, would do the trick nicely. If we include the words: ‘Honesty’ ‘Democracy’ and ‘Electability’, no one could argue that these are not very laudable aims.
Up to now we have allowed Griffin and his cohorts to choose the field of battle, we must take this fight into the very heart of the party, its grassroots membership. We must be seen as modernisers, whose aim is to move the party forward, not as splitters, and we must tar Griffin with Collett (the most disliked person in the BNP) at every opportunity. Make our case: what image do you want for the BNP: Cllr Sadie Graham (well respected councillor and mother) or Mark Collett (Young Nazi and Proud)?
A fully electable and democratic BNP is only 5 months away: let’s start our campaign today!

This present struggle is clearly now a fight to decide who is in charge of the British National Party, its members or Mark Collett, It's that simple!
Having just returned from Blackpool, after attending this weekend’s conference, I would like to make the following observations.
The 25 seconds video clip above taken from one of the hotel’s 3rd floor windows, at the height of the demo, clearly shows that less than 70 people (including the yellow jacketed marshals) turned out for this supposed UAF mass demo. Unfortunately some TV news reports deliberately gave a vastly inflated figure, for the attendance at the demonstration, of around 200. Compare this video to Granada's report of the demonstration, at link below.
We were told that people were to be bussed in from all over Lancashire and the surrounding counties, including mass turnouts of UNISON and other TUC members from all over the North West. UAF really are now a spent force, and these days only attract total losers, and the mentally ill.
The conference itself was very professionally run, and a fantastic success, with 260 delegates attending (the maximum fire regulations allow). Although the Kimberly is a fantastic venue for smaller conferences, a larger venue will undoubtedly be needed next year. The BNP is moving forward come on board, or get out of the way!

Last Thursday a joint meeting of Lancaster & Preston members and supporters took place in Preston. It is intended that this will be the first of regular joint meetings, held on alternative months in each city.
A longtime party member, Chris Jackson, has announced that he is running for the leadership of the Party. Now personally I don’t think Chris Jackson is a bad bloke, and he has worked hard for the party in the past, but he is not a natural leader.Labels: BNP, Chris Jackson, fascist, Lancaster, New Labour, Nick Griffin

This blog was originally set up to provide a forum for critical analysis of the stories posted on the Lancaster UAF blog. That blog however has increasingly become a site which merely mirrors (cut and pastes) other peoples work, taken from other sites.
.
It has therefore been decided to restructure this blog as a newsletter, covering our local British National Party activities. With the upcoming local council election campaign, it is intended that this site will become a source of local news and information relevant to those elections.
.
On the very rare occasion when the UAF site does publishes, original work that warrants mention, we will of course carry such comments on them.
Regular readers of this blog, will know the contempt that I feel for the ironically named UAF organisation, and its fascist ridden offshoot here in Lancaster. Labels: Simone Clarke BNP UAF ENB
