Now is time for reflection, taking stock of the current situation and moving forward in a concise and controlled way to the benefit of the Party.Firstly, a bit about myself. I am 61 years of age, married with 2 grown up children and own a small telecoms business. I have been a party member for several years and was the South East Regional Organiser until I recently resigned this post.
.
When I joined the BNP I made no secret of this to my friends and colleagues. Many threw their hands up in horror as if I had taken leave of my senses and there were even mutterings in my Lodge that I should resign. However, people that knew me realised that I do not make rash judgements and were quite willing to give me the benefit of the doubt. Over the years, and with what has happened politically, my friends have come to realise that I made the correct decision and a few have joined the Party. Many others give their tacit support, but cannot join because they consider it a step too far and are reluctant to face any opprobrium. They realise that the vast majority of the BNP are ordinary decent people and have the same concerns as themselves but on a professional basis they simply consider that we have too much baggage to become a member and that we are not well enough organised (This I fear is what is holding us back from taking Middle England votes). I have done my best to counter these arguments, but was finding myself increasingly frustrated by several factors. Firstly, although we promote freedom of speech, I found that whenever I spoke to Nick about party business or strategy he always replied in the first person singular! Secondly I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the incompetence of the Treasury Department, plus a lack of transparency with our funds.
.
I also had concerns over Mark Collett and found the Advisory Council Meetings nothing more than a talking shop (No doubt the "Central Management Team" will find themselves equally ineffectual). To my delight, I found others, more senior, within the Party who had had the same concerns for considerably longer than myself, which they had also conveyed to Nick but to no avail. These are all well documented and thus I need not recount them again. However, my awakening came at the Blackpool Conference when, in conjunction with Sadie, Kenny and Steve we had a "private" meeting with Nick to resolve the situation of Ian Dawson being barred from the Conference plus the aforementioned issues. In my business and social life I have been in some involved and highly charged meetings but this was the first time where I have ever seen such truculence and a total disregard of the opposing viewpoint despite our protestations of loyalty. I knew then that there were going to be major problems!
.
Moving forward, where are we now? Firstly it is quite clear that there is now no room for compromise. The Party is in disarray at the top. It is effectively bankrupt and yet we have had these appeal letters being sent out at a huge cost. We have Nick Griffin telling us on the BNP web site that we are neo Nazis, (as did his poodle, Simon Darby, on News Night) and that there is now a "mopping up" operation going on as the "revolt" is over. We have had any number of well documented illegal acts perpetrated by the hierarchy and, with this South African "Security Department" in a position of power the whole ethos of an open and responsible political party has been lost (This had already been lost to a degree by Nick Griffin calling those who voted against him "vermin" - what epithets are coming our way I wonder?). All of this can be firmly laid at the door of one person - Nick Griffin.
.
What then is the way forward? We have to communicate, via mail, in a factual and non judgemental manner, the precise happenings and how and why they have come about to all our members (This is of major importance as I know some of the Organisers in the South East are deliberately witholding information from members). We then need to promulgate our proposals for moving the Party forward and making it electable.
.
Firstly we get rid of the baggage. This will then generate donations from those presently holding back, which will enable us to build an infrastructure which is fair, democratic and, above all open and accountable to its members (I have a close personal friend who, being a Chartered Accountant, offered his services to the Party for a nominal remuneration which was rejected out of hand). There are many more of these able and Professionally qualified people who will willingly work to promote a Party dedicated to preserving the culture and heritage of this land for their children, grandchildren and generations yet to come. We separate the Political from the Executive and, without going into detail, we set up an infrastructure capable of winning us seats. We have "shadow spokesmen/women", experts in their subjects, who are quoted in and by the press and we move away from one person speaking on every subject.We are also unique in that we have Members from every part of the political spectrum and if we can build on this we will be in a position to influence decisions made at the highest level and, take power before time runs out and this Island, our homeland, is reduced to a lawless, third world wasteland where Sharia Law, the gun and the bomb takes precedence over all that we hold dear and our descendants are strangers in their own land.

My thanks go out to Roger for his concise, and very informative, description and analysis of the current troubles within the party. Roger's own solutions I think, also represent what many others (including myself) would like to see happen now.
.
This Current chaos may well lead to a far more democratic, and electable BNP. A BNP that many more decent people can join, without fear of the stigma that attaches itself to anyone connected to Mark Collett.
.
It's time now to move forward!
