Don't run away from race

The British Freedom website says that it's about “space not race” and “culture not colour”.

For me personally, I don’t see how race cannot be an issue for anybody claiming to be a Nationalist. Groups of people create societies which are reflective of them. Nationalists would like to see all such groups survive and our own group advance. It is an understanding that the nation-state is the best form of organisation and that each unique group of people has a fundamental right to live among their own kind and determine their own destiny. It is quite obviously about race, not only space. Race is a fundamentally important issue for Nationalists.

In my humble opinion a party which claims to be Nationalist yet seeks to deny race is either:

1) Dishonest, to the point of presenting a platform that they believe to appear “moderate” and be “easier to sell”, which for their sins makes them much like the old parties in terms of their deceit of the voters.

2) Genuine, in their assertions that race isn’t important, which puts them outside the sphere of Nationalism.

or,

3) Naive, about how the system works. British Freedom website in particular makes reference to “winning media support”. The people who own the media, aside from their Zionist inspired foreign policy clash with Nationalist ideals, tend to be businessmen with companies in any number of nations, and with links to many other businessmen and companies. Nationalism means erecting borders not just to immigration but also economic borders. This will set the alarm bells ringing to any Globalist, Capitalist businessman. (UKIP, with their liberal, open border economic policies receive much fairer treatment as they aren’t a particular threat to the powers that be in terms of stopping multi-national companies from offshoring jobs and such like). These are the reasons for hostile press, not race or immigration.

Media attacks on Nationalist parties as being “too extreme” and somehow distasteful on the race issue are red herrings. You can moderate your immigration policies all you like, if you are a Nationalist you are a problem to them and they won’t ever be in your pocket. The reason race and/or immigration are commonly used is because the people who run the mass media understand that these are issues that the British public have been heavily conditioned on, and are therefore easy to attack us on.

This naivety is the belief that essentially, “the media is by and large run by honest people who don’t like parties like the BNP because they think they’re too hardline on race, therefore if we tone it down a bit, they’ll start being nice to us”. This, of course, is not the case because the people running the mass media really don’t care that much about our ideas on race, other than the fact that big business would find it harder to pick low wage foreign workers to exploit were immigration stopped.

Now I’m sure British Freedom has plenty of good people involved with it who will probably now offer a number of explanations as to why they adopt such a dishonest, naive or honest policy position, depending on your interpretation of it. The above is not to fall out with such people, but is a criticism of the futile tactic of “moderating” so that your policies are acceptable to your enemies, thus allowing them to set your agenda.

Just to add, this debate is about belief and ideology. Please don’t confuse this with advertising and marketing. Of course, our ideas and policies need to be marketed in an effective manner (for example, ‘voluntary repatriation’ is discussed in terms of ‘a solution to our over-population problem’ and so on) but while this is the case, what we are dealing with here is the actual stated ideological belief itself, that race doesn’t matter, that it’s, to paraphrase the British Freedom party website, “not about race”.

    Of course our people will express their justifiable concerns in terms of job insecurity, housing shortages and fear of crime. It is the duty of a nationalist party to educate our people regarding the root cause of their economic and social hardship: to expose the linkage between the Establishment parties' policies of mass ethnically alien immigration and anti-English discrimination on the one hand, and the deficit of jobs, housing, heathcare and public order on the other.

    'British' is an ethnic term as well as a civic one. I am both English and ethnically British. The name of my country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and it is a unitary state, not a federal one.

    Anyone may be able, currently, to become civically British by acquiring British citizenship, but that does not make them ethnically British.

    A dog may be born in a stable but it does not thereby become a horse!

  3. SAM : I can feel and share the despair and frustration in your piece. And for fifty years I have been reading the same response..." it is up to the nationalists to educate the people..." etc. etc. "We must not vote for any Party that is not 100% etho-British " Andrew will be ambivalent about your excellent point about "British" being a plurality and therefore does not qualify.
    He totally ignores as usual the question implicit in your argument " Is there a Nationalist Party on the horizon capable of giving us the power to implement our policies or do we have to wait until his little band have educated us?
    SAM Could I urge you to look at my website englandisours.com ? Bert Leech

    I am not ambivalent about Sam's erroneous assertion that "...british is a civic/cultural term not a ethnic one..." On the contrary, I demonstrated that it was false by pointing out that to be ethnically English, (or ethnically Scottish, or ethnically Welsh), is at the same time to be ethnically British. The fact that 'British' is also a civic and a cultural term does not negate its ethnic meaning.

    A re-alignment of the nationalist movement is under way. The fact that you cannot see it on the horizon is because it is happening right under your very nose.
