Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose...

The following statement was posted by Dr Andrew Emerson to the BNP sub-section of the British Democracy Forum, some three hours prior to the announcement of the results of the party's leadership election.

Should we really expect an objective political analysis from either Pete Walker or the former Young Communist Leaguer, "Derrick Day"? I think not.

Given what we know of Pete Walker's perspective it makes sense that he should be trying to sow doubt, despondency and defeatism in the ranks of the BNP. By the same token, if "Derrick Day" is in fact Harrington, he too has an agenda, at the top of which is the demoralizing of any "true believers" within the BNP, which he hopes to accomplish with his threats of a purge.

The reality is that the objective conditions have rarely been more favourable for an ethnonationalist party to make electoral gains. We see the evidence for this right across the mainland of Europe. The precise way in which nationalism needs to be presented to the electorate, in order to optimize its electoral appeal, obviously varies from country to country, but the positive trend is there for all, with an internet connection, to see.

People tend to crave certainty, in politics as in most other things, but the only certain things in life, as someone once said, are death and taxes. If Griffin and his principal coadjutor can be prized away from the leadership of the British National Party within a reasonable time-scale, all well and good. The BNP may now have a tarnished image and be burdened with massive indebtedness but it is, notwithstanding this, in principle redeemable, in view of the enormous reservoir of goodwill which would flow towards the party, in the event of it taking out its trash (no names, no pack-drill).

Conversely, should it prove to be impossible to prize Griffin away from the leadership, do we simply give up, not just on the BNP but on ethnonationalism as an ideology and on our nation? God forbid. No, what we do is to take from the BNP all the best that it still holds, in terms of human material, and form something new and better, fortified by the experience we have gained while a member of the BNP.

Looked at in the right way, nothing is ever wasted, Colleagues. The most important thing of all is to keep a positive mental attitude. Pete Walker and "Derrick Day" are both aware of this, which is why they both, for their own reasons, expend so much time and energy trying to undermine any such healthy outlook.

Our German cousins have a good saying and one which is very true: "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger".

Words to live by, indeed.
