A time to gather together

Divided We Fall!

As at the end of January 2012, the Nationalist Cause in Britain lies in tatters and shreds like a beaten army strewn across a battlefield through which the enemy marches and ravages as he pleases.

Splinter groups have sprung up all over the place; the Judaean People’s Front here, the People’s Front of Judaea there, the Judaean Popular People’s Front over the next hill, the Popular People’s Front of Judaea behind the hedge, the Popular Front of Judaean People in next door’s garden shed… British Nationalism is now both the living proof and the dying victim of the fundamental military stratagem, Divide and Conquer!

The single greatest weapon of our proper enemies is the unfortunate fact that Nationalists are their own greatest enemies! We are too busy sub-dividing, bitching and arguing bitterly amongst ourselves to represent any kind of a threat to the organized political establishments who dictate to the country from Westminster, and from Brussels and from God-knows-where-else next – possibly Addis Ababa or Istanbul…

Without fail, whenever Nationalists express their views, there are as many different views as there are Nationalists. Even worse, nearly all of this hotch-potch collection of different views and opinions demonstrates nothing except the political naivety of the person expounding upon it.

As a perfect example of this monumentally stupid lack of comprehension of realities, let me cite just one single issue which seems to continually crop up whenever the Judaean People’s Front comments about the People’s Front of Judaea and vice-versa – Civic Nationalism versus Ethnic Nationalism.

Civic Nationalism, put very simply, proposes that a “British Person” is anybody who has British nationality and who supports British culture and acts like a true Briton, regardless of the colour of their skin or the country their immediate forebears came from. This can also be called “Cultural Nationalism”

Ethnic Nationalism proposes that one cannot be a proper British person unless one is white Caucasian, with British ancestry going back at least several generations.

This difference of opinion is seen as important by some Nationalists. Indeed, it is viewed by more than a few as grounds for division. “We don’t want Cultural Nationalism!” spit the Ethnic Nationalists. “It’s not genuine Nationalism and betrays our Cause!”

“We don’t want Ethnic Nationalism!” fume the Cultural Nationalists. “It’s against the law and brings Nationalism into disrepute!”

To anyone who subscribes to either of these illusions, or to any other point of difference between “My Idea of Nationalism” and “Their Idea of Nationalism,” I would like to ask one single question:-

“How many mainstream politicians have kept every single promise they have made to the people?”

Wikipedia contains an excellent item about broken election promises, which includes: the Liberal’s election promise to cut military spending made just before starting an arms race with Germany; the Labour Party’s election promise in 1945 to set up a Ministry of Housing; Australian politician Bob Hawke’s 1987 election promise that “…by 1990 no Australian child will be living in poverty”; George W. Bush’s 1988 election promise “…Read my lips! No new taxes!” before increasing taxes after being elected; Silvio Berlusconi’s 1994 election promise that, if elected, he would sell his shares in Finivest (a company that controls nearly all private TV stations in Italy as well as publishing houses and magazines) in order not to hold an unfair advantage of media-control as prime minister: to this day, 15 years later, he still retains ownership of the group; the Liberal Democrats promise not to support an increase in tuition fees, shortly before supporting the Conservatives and voting for an increase in tuition fees; and so-on and so-on. In fact, this list could be extended indefinitely.

My point, then, is simply this seemingly obvious one – in politics there is a world of difference between what is promised in pre-election statements, manifestos and party constitutions, and what is actually done through lawful legislation once a party has gained power!

Put simply, the law-making begins AFTER a party has become a government, not before! This is not a cynical view, it is a simple statement of absolute proven fact.

Today, the law states that publicly advocating what is generally (and euphemistically) termed “Ethnic Nationalism” is a form of racial prejudice and is therefore illegal [sic]. But startlingly, this seems to blind many Nationalists to the simple plain fact that it is the party who can become a government that makes or changes our laws as they see fit.

Everybody else does it, as the previous paragraph amply demonstrates – is it so hard to believe that Nationalists can do as every other politician does?

In short, it matters not one jot what policies a Nationalist party places in its manifesto or its shop window before an election – the winning party will be making its own laws in a perfectly legal manner. It seems that a great many Nationalists fail to grasp this essential point of politics.

With this in mind, I want to strongly suggest that British Nationalism gets its act together – THIS MEANS YOU! – because it is obvious to everyone that time is running out.

For God’s sake – for Britain’s sake – let us unify all the many different Judaean Peoples Parties into a single central political thrust, so that Nationalism in Britain becomes a strong political presence that can once again fight a general election, and fight it with more than just a faint hope of beating the Monster Raving Loony Party!

The best possible way of accomplishing this is something that this particular website might be able to arrange, and so I appeal here directly to Andrew Brons and ask him if he would consider advocating this plan and giving space to it on the website.

I also appeal TO YOU – YOU who are reading this article – because, like any proposal, it requires a display of support and the posting here of as many messages of general support and agreement as possible.

The plan I put to you is this. In order to advance the prospect of Nationalist Unity, without which nothing on a national political front can ever be accomplished, I propose that a simple petition, or plebiscite to use an old term, of ALL Nationalists and supporters of Nationalism is undertaken.

Every individual would submit their name and some address detail to distinguish them (if not a home address, an email perhaps) and – this is the really important bit – each person would include a brief summary of what THEY consider to be the most vital pieces of policy and constitutional requirements that a single, united, nationwide major Nationalist Party ought to have.

To make it simpler to handle, this might be done in the form of a list of all those ideas that are being bandied about by the various Judaean Peoples Parties, with this list being put onto a website page as a form that readers could tick according to their inclinations, then click on “submit”.

Over time (hopefully not a very long time either) a detailed picture would then emerge of the general overall common requirements of – as it were – “the perfect Nationalist party”, and this opinion poll amongst Nationalists – for that is what it would amount to – would unarguably demonstrate to everyone what direction we should be going in: Fragmented or unified? Civil or ethnic? Democratic or hierarchical? Two sugars or three? You get the idea?

A possibly less popular addition to this proposal, which I think is absolutely necessary – indeed vital – is that everyone who sends in their requirements, or submits such an e-form if it is done that way, to outline what they define as their idea of a “perfect” Nationalist party, must also agree that it will be the majority trends which everyone will accept, and that they will abide by the majority and not go stomping off into a corner to sulk if their own cherished ideas are not shared by the majority.

And of course, while this is being done, never forgetting the lesson repeatedly given to us by “upright and honest mainstream politicians” that “election promises” are not, in fact, actual promises at all, but are recognized by all mainstream politicians, seemingly without exception, as consisting of whatever lies and flim-flam are deemed necessary to get them into power!

It would thus be as perfectly valid and as perfectly honest for a Nationalist Party to state in its manifesto: “If elected, we shall regard all ethnic groups as genuine British citizens, we shall never adopt compulsory deportations, we shall refuse to impose any limits upon immigration into Britain, we shall always remain within the European Union” as it is for the Liberal Democrats to state “We shall not support an increase in tuition fees” and for George W. Bush to categorically announce “Watch my lips! No more taxes! And for Silvio Berlusconi to say 15 years ago “If I am elected as prime minister I shall sell all my media shares!”

And nobody can expect Andrew Brons or anybody else to consider adopting this proposal of a mass Nationalist online “pathfinding” poll unless there is a sufficient response from readers showing general agreement with what I have said here. If you think there is any merit in the suggestion, get posting your reply right away.

I hope you get my drift! Otherwise all Nationalists may as well vote for the Judaean People’s Front and abandon politics in any meaningful way!
