Tesco statement - All fresh meat we sell is not Halal, except for lamb and chicken.


The following is an email that was recently sent by BNP Neath Port Talbot Fundholder Paul Stewart to Tesco Customer Services regarding the sale of Halal meat in their stores. Please note the response !
.
I want to know if TESCO is selling muslim meat called halal.

This way of killing an animal is illegal.

The House Of Commons has banned halal meat in its restaurants after MPs complained. According to Andrew Ronsindell MP, "people have the right to decide" whether to eat it or not.

My avarage weekly spend with TESCO is around £100.

If I find that you are selling this dirty meat. I will take my custom to shops that do not supprt the islam cult

Thank you
.
.
Dear Mr Stewart,

Thank you for contacting us.

We are aware of the RSPCA's concerns with regards to animals slaughtered under the Halal ritual being sufficiently stunned. We take animal welfare very seriously and that is why we audit all of our slaughter houses to ensure that the stunning process is effective and that the animal feels no pain.

We understand that there are some customers who, for religious reasons, would like to know if the meat they are eating is Halal. We are very happy to be entirely transparent about this.

All fresh meat we sell is not Halal, except for lamb and chicken and of those ranges we can absolutely assure you that if you buy British organic lamb and chicken as well as the Willow Farm and Finest Free Range lines, these will not be Halal either.

I hope you find this information helpful.

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us at customer.service@tesco.co.uk quoting TES8869636X.

Kind Regards,

Melanie Newman

Customer Service Manager

"Christmas is a lie and as Muslims it is our duty to attack it."


'Christmas is evil': Muslim group launches poster campaign against festive period.

Fanatics from a banned Islamic hate group have launched a nationwide poster campaign denouncing Christmas as evil.


Organisers plan to put up thousands of placards around the UK claiming the season of goodwill is responsible for rape, teenage pregnancies, abortion, promiscuity, crime and paedophilia.

They hope the campaign will help 'destroy Christmas' in this country and lead to Britons converting to Islam instead.

The placards, which have already appeared in parts of London, feature an apparently festive scene with an image of the Star of Bethlehem over a Christmas tree.


But under a banner announcing 'the evils of Christmas' it features a message mocking the song the 12 Days of Christmas.

It reads: 'On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me an STD (sexually transmitted disease).


'On the second day debt, on the third rape, the fourth teenage pregnancies and then there was abortion.'

According to the posters, Christmas is also to responsible for paganism, domestic violence, homelessness, vandalism, alcohol and drugs.

Another offence of Christmas, it proclaims, is 'claiming God has a son'.

The bottom of the poster declares: 'In Islam we are protected from all of these evils. We have marriage, family, honour, dignity, security, rights for man, woman and child.'

The campaign's organiser is 27-year-old Abu Rumaysah, who once called for Sharia Law in Britain at a press conference held by hate preacher leader Anjem Choudary, the leader of militant group Islam4UK.

Mr Rumaysah told the Mail that he was unconcerned about offending Christians.


He said: "Christmas is a lie and as Muslims it is our duty to attack it."

'But our main attack is on the fruits of Christmas, things like alcohol abuse and promiscuity that increase during Christmas and all the other evils these lead to such as abortion, domestic violence and crime.

'We hope that out campaign will make people realise that Islam is the only way to avoid this and convert.'


Mr Rumaysah, who said his campaign was not linked to any group, boasted that the posters would be put up in cities around the country, including London, Birmingham and Cardiff.

The campaign was highlighted by volunteers from a charity which distributes food and presents to pensioners and the lonely at Christmas.

Sister Christine Frost, founder of the East London Neighbours in Poplar charity, said: 'The more posters I saw, the more angry I got.

'Someone is stirring hatred which leaves the road open to revenge attacks or petrol bombs through letter-boxes.

'I told the Mayor we are all scared.

'If we said such things about Muslims, we'd all be hanging from lamp-posts.

'The posters appear to be professionally printed'.

The Welsh Assembly Government has sold out it's own people in favour of the "Islamic Colonists."

The following two statements have been taken directly from the Muslim Council of Wales website who's motto is "Unity in Diversity" http://www.muslimcouncilwales.org/.
.
In my opinion it proves exactly how little regard members of the Welsh Assembly Government have towards their own indigenous people who are suffering unparalleled hardship, job losses,home repossessions and levels of child poverty.

The Welsh Assembly Government is more interested in Pakistan than Port Talbot and Somalia rather than Swansea.
.
Welsh Assembly Government Partnership Protocol with the Muslim Council for Wales
.

The Welsh Assembly Government and the Muslim Council of Wales will work together in support of social justice, inclusion, fairness and greater community cohesion across Wales..

Muslim Council of Wales Objectives
.
To promote an accurate image of Islam and Muslims in Wales.

Is it no wonder that when our "Islamic Colonisers" approach the rotten establishment Labour,Plaid, Con-Dem treacherous politicians looking for funds to establish "Alien" practises such as Halal Slaughterhouses and many more on our own soil that they are granted the funds without protest or too much thought about the consequences of the impact on that area.

This has to stop and there is only one way to stop it.

Young people unemployment 'at 12-year high' in Wales



Long-term youth unemployment in Wales is at a 12-year high, says a report for The Prince's Trust.

It said the number of 16-to-24-year-olds on Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) for 12 months or more has risen nearly five-fold since the recession.

The charity estimates that young people are missing out on more than £8m per week in earned income.

The assembly government said tackling the issue of jobs and training for young people was "a top priority".

A committee of assembly members recently said 16-24-year-olds not in education, employment or training, known as neets, were "being failed".

The report by the Prince's Trust, which gives practical and financial support to young people, found 430 people in that age group had been claiming JSA for 12 months or longer in 2008.

In 2010, the number of young people in that age group claim JSA for that length of time was 2,015.

It is the highest number of young people claiming that figure since 1998, the charity said.

Figures


430 - number of 16-24-year-old claiming JSA for 12 months or more in 2008


2,015 - number of of 16-24-year-old claiming JSA for 12 months or more in 2010.


23,815 - total number of 16-24-year-old claiming JSA in Wales


Based on research by the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics, it said if the lost productivity was equivalent to JSA, then
youth unemployment was costing Wales more than £2.6m per week.

If the estimate of lost productivity was equivalent to the average weekly wage for their age group, then
youth unemployment in Wales was costing £8.4m a week, the researchers said.

Prince's Trust Cymru director Rick Libbey said: "Youth disadvantage in the UK is a financial burden on us all, but at The Prince's Trust we also see the devastating effects on individuals and communities across Wales.

"Every day at the trust we meet another young person who is caught in a spiral of joblessness and poverty."


All the other political parties are robbing our children of a future, whether they go to university or not.

The right to work, The right to housing.

It is criminal.

Islam's ultimate goals

The following text is from an article just published on the New English Review website. It is written by Vijay Kumar, an Indian Hindu currently resident in Nashville Tennessee, and concerns the dangers posed to Western democracies by Islam.

The Islamic theologian Syed Abul A'ala Maududi left no doubt about Islam's ultimate goals when he said:
"Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and program of Islam regardless of the country or the nation which rules it. The purpose of Islam is to set up a state on the basis of its own ideology and program."

I realize that reciting these goals of Islam is not popular or "politically correct" in our culture today, exactly because of the flood of propaganda insisting that Islam is merely "another religion" and "a religion of peace."

But Islam, at its core, is a faith-based political theocracy whose most basic tenets and goals are a nullification of our Constitution, and, as such, it is the single greatest threat that America – and, indeed, the entire free world – has ever faced. It is a consummate totalitarianism against which every other totalitarianism should be measured. Expressly because of its religious component, Islamic imperialism is far more dangerous than Nazism and Communism combined.

Hitler came to power in 1939, and World War II ended in 1945 with the defeat of Nazi Germany. Hitler was in power for about 15 years. The Communist Soviet Union lasted longer, for about 74 years. The Soviet Union and Soviet sponsored Communism died of their own internal contradictions.

Yet today, Islam's Universal Jihad has gained control of over 50 countries in the world, according to the CIA's own World Fact Book. That's more than Nazism and Soviet Communism combined. And Islam is well on its way to demographic control in over a dozen other countries.

Universal Jihad is a war that has been waged by Islam against the rest of the world for 1400 years.


It is by no means limited to violent conflict or terrorism, and demographic conquest is the most permanent form of conquest. Once Muslims replace enough of the population of any country, the non-believers will lose their nation, their culture, their heritage, their civilization, their laws, their land, and their fundamental human rights forever.

Instead of assimilating into any society, Islam seeks to establish a state-within-a-state, to insinuate Sharia law into the existing system of law and expand it by degrees until it can consume it.

Islam and our Constitution cannot merge. They cannot mix. The oil-and-water analogy would be the easiest to make, but the more accurate one, in the case of Islam and the Constitution, is that of a parasite and host.

As it has done with other cultures, Islam uses our religious tolerance – which is codified in the "free exercise clause" of our Constitution – first as an entrance point to insinuate itself, then as a protective covering while it grows and spreads.

There are more than a few examples in history. Zoroastrian Persia, Buddhist Afghanistan, Hindu Pakistan, and Christian Egypt all extended tolerance to Islam. All have been metamorphosed into Islamic nations. Their pre-Islamic past is all but wiped out. No one really knows the many achievements, contributions, and heritage of these once great civilizations.

The Hindu civilization today is half of what it used to be. After a thousand years of living in an undivided India, in 1947 the Muslims there wanted their own country, and so was born Pakistan. Similarly, in Yugoslavia, after a thousand years of co-existence, Slavic Muslims there wanted their own country, and so was born Bosnia.

America and Europe certainly will suffer the same fate of these past civilizations if effective action is not taken.

28 Illegal Indian workers found at Pembrokeshire power plant


A raid has found 28 illegal workers at the construction site of the new Pembroke Power Station.

The UK Border Agency said the men, all from India, were employed by a sub contractor and had no legal right to work in the UK.

It said the sub-contractor had been served with a civil penalty notice for employing illegal workers.

The site has been the scene of demonstrations by people demanding jobs be given to British workers.

The border agency said acting on information its officers and Dyfed-Powys Police went to the power station early on Thursday.

Eleven of those held remain in immigration detention pending deportation.

Sixteen have been placed on immigration bail while the border agency secures the emergency travel documents necessary to deport them.

One man has been arrested by police on suspicion of using a false identity document.

It was by far the biggest illegal working operation in Wales this year.


The site has been the scene of demonstrations by people demanding jobs be given to British workers.

Remember

"Illegal immigration takes employment away from the resident labour market. Illegal immigration puts huge pressure on the public purse at a time when the country can least afford it."

Circulation of lying, corrupt rag newspapers fall again in October.


Even as the MSM carry on their campaign of smears against and lies about the British National Party, you my fellow nationalists will be very happy to hear that seven national newspapers suffered a double-digit drop in circulation in October with quality titles faring badly, as the entire national market recorded a year-on-year fall.

The Times recorded the largest year-on-year decline as it dropped 16.21 per cent last month to an average daily circulation of 479,107, according to figures released by the Audit Bureau of Circulations.

The News International daily was joined by five other quality titles in suffering a double-digit circulation fall, these were: The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Observer, The Sunday Telegraph and The Sunday Times.

The Daily Star saw its average daily circulation dip below 800,000 in October – a year-on-year drop of 5.15 per cent and a month-on-month decline of 8.19 per cent – after Richard Desmond brought to an end is almost two-year run of offering the paper at a discounted rate, often as low as 10p.

During October the Daily Star sold an average of 197,726 copies each day at 30p in the UK – however, a daily average of 411,853 were sold in the UK below cover price.

More and more people are coming to understand the MSM and are fed up to the back teeth with the lies, spin and black propaganda that newspapers are giving to them, and they are voting with their pockets.

After all why pay a fair bit of money to read trash when you can find quality, unbiased reporting and information from the internet for free?

Let’s hope this decline continues until most of those well-paid and spoilt journalists lose their job and pay the price for their arrogance and the contempt they have for ordinary people.

EU accounts rejected for the sixteenth year in a row


Billions of pounds of EU funds were spent wrongly, they concluded, such as farmers being paid for crops that were never grown, or sheep being double counted to get extra grants.

Details of the scandalous waste emerged only weeks after David Cameron pledged to restrict the increase in the EU budget next year.

And it coincides with a rebellion on the Tory backbenches over controversial changes to the Lisbon Treaty – signed up to by Mr Cameron.

The European Court of Auditors challenged the EU to get a grip on its spending after finding ‘material errors’ in last year’s £88billion budget.

Its president, Vitor Manuel da Silva Caldeira, said about 5 per cent of the budget – some £4billion –(remember those are EU figures) was spent wrongly

The biggest examples of waste were in agriculture, development aid and fisheries.

Auditors found that EU farm subsidies had been handed over to subsidise crops without any proof they were being grown. They visited farmland and found no evidence of cultivation at all.

Stephen Booth, analyst at the Open Europe think tank, said: ‘This is a hugely embarrassing annual tradition and it remains absolutely unacceptable.’


The British National Party couldn’t agree more and this is why we want to withdraw from the EU.

The money we currently pay to the EU superstate could be used to reduce the huge budget deficit without cutting essential services, job losses or increasing taxes.

We are the only political party that wants this madness to stop and that is one of the reasons why the establishment will use any means at their disposal to destroy us.

British Troops Burn in Hell - Giant Poppy burnt in public.


Listen to the chants of some of the vile creatures that the traitorous politicians have flooded our country with, as they burn a giant poppy on one of our nations most sacred days. Remembrance Day.

Is this what our fathers, grandfathers and ancestors fought and died for, just to give these followers of a dead paedophile the freedom to besmirch their memory.

All you people who still vote for the Lib/Lab/Plaid/Con parties are as guilty as those who screamed their hatred and put the match to the Poppy.


Not long ago, six people were arrested in Gateshead for publishing videos on the internet of a koran being burnt. I look forward to reading about the arrest of these filthy enrichers who committed this hateful act being arrested.

Remember this video.

The Lib-Dem Party has now destroyed itself. Good Riddance !


Business Secretary Vince Cable, once the darling of liberal supporters, signed a pledge not to increase university tuition fees before the election.

Just how hypocritical can you get?

Cable has now called on Lib-Dems to back Tory plans for a massive hike in fees. This will create an elitist education system in which only the richest will be able to afford to send their children to University.

Government should be investing in future generations not depriving bright students from middle and lower income families of the opportunity to succeed.

It is obvious Clegg, Cable and co will stop at nothing for a taste of power, no doubt they will all be offered safe Tory seats at the next election for services rendered, leaving their backbenchers in the unenviable position of trying to convince the electorate that a vote for them is not a vote wasted.

A lot of Lib-Dems are going to lose their seats and second places such as in Aberavon at the General Election will be a thing of the past.

The disregard for the policies that Liberals fought for in their manifesto is sickening, every single Liberal voter has been betrayed by these power mad hypocrites, their unsavoury actions herald the final demise of the liberal party.

Surely they must now be recognised as a thoroughly unelectable and dishonest rump !

More NUJ Jobs under threat !


I don’t think you need me telling you how vicious the MSM, and the NUJ in particular are towards the British National Party, and anyone else opposed to mass immigration, diversity and paedophilia (they back perverts like Pete Tatchell who want to have sex with 12-year-old boys).

You will therefore be delighted to know that eight more jobs are under threat at Newsquest’s Northern Echo as a result of the plan to merge its subbing team with that of its sister weekly papers.

The National Union of Journalists has warned the proposed job cuts include axing two sub editors, a reporter, an assistant editor, a production editor, a website assistant, a librarian and a graphic designer.

All remaining subs will be required to apply for new jobs in the pooled subbing team which works in three separate shifts.

Newsquest North East claims the changes are part of an efficiency drive that will save it £130,000 a year, according to the union.

Chris Morley, NUJ Northern and Midlands organiser, said: “The attack on editorial quality at a flagship centre like the Northern Echo through continued, deep and damaging job cuts shows the company’s disdain for hard working staff…

“It is also clear Newsquest has no concern for quality journalism and the long-term future of its titles.

“Newsquest is too pre-occupied with servicing the massive debt [parent company] Gannett built up to buy the UK group – Manchester United-style – and putting money into US shareholders’ pockets.

“Our members are the company’s best assets and they are sick of being treated with contempt with a seemingly endless pay freeze and other constant attacks on their terms and conditions by a management that appears to view its staff as an enemy.

“The NUJ will not stand by idly if members are picked on to be forced out of their jobs.”


Whatever the truth is, these journalists don’t deserve any pity or support.

They feel entitled to abuse their position printing lies about a perfectly legitimate political party even though they know they are breaking the law, they are also perfectly aware we cannot afford to sue them in court, and libel laws apply to individual and not political parties.

Of course they are entitled to have their own opinion and, at the same time, we are entitled to jump with joy whenever any of those unwashed marxists get fired as they finally pay the price for their arrogance and contempt for ordinary voters.

Maybe the problem is that the number of journalists sacked is not high enough.

More than half of Welsh Homes have one adult out of work.



MORE than half of all Welsh households now contain at least one out-of-work adult, according to bleak new figures released yesterday.

The proportion of homes where every working-age adult has a job has fallen from 50.6%in 2008 to 48.3% at the end of 2009, said the Office for National Statistics.

And in 22.9% of homes no adult aged between 16 and 64 was in work, up from 20.8% at the end of 2008.

The figures underline how hard Wales has been hit by the economic downturn, with worklessness particularly prevalent in post-industrial areas of the South Wales Valleys.

Work less households pose a particular challenge to policymakers, as children who grow up in homes where no-one works can find it more difficult to adapt to the day-to-day disciplines of holding down a job.

We are talking about an inter-generational problem where not only the sons and daughters but the grandchildren are not seeing a role model in work, and the problem is self-perpetuating.

Neath Port Talbot, hit hard by the contraction in the steel industry, has the highest proportion of work less households in Wales, at 30.2%.


( Approximately 25% of people lucky enough to actually have jobs in the Aberavon Constituency work in the Private Sector. With the cutbacks and job losses forecast then the figure of 30.2% is likely to increase even further.)

Proposals to cut housing benefit by 10% for those claiming Job seekers’ Allowance for more than a year have also been criticised as unfair in areas where there are few jobs available.

One in eight Council Houses Occupied by Immigrants


When I pointed out that immigrants and asylum seekers are put to the front of the queue when allocating council houses and flats, i was accused of telling lies and scare mongering in order to incite racial hatred and cause division amongst the ‘communities’, even though the facts are evident to anybody on the waiting list for council accommodation.

The three main party’ have long denied that discrimination against native Britons exists but, as all we nationalists know, and the truth will not be denied, they can’t run away from the truth forever.

In fact the Daily Star has finally admitted we were right all along, although of course they will not give us credit for it.


Source www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/160265/Immigrants-blag-one-out-of-eight-council-houses-/

More than one in eight of all council houses for young adults are now ­occupied by foreigners.

A Government report showed people born abroad take up 12.6% of properties that have 16 to 40-year-olds living in them.

For all age groups, immigrants live in one in 12 of all “social houses”, ­affordable rented homes provided by councils or housing associations.

The figures have been released a month after we reported the problems that
Brit squaddies returning from Afghanistan have getting a roof over their families’ heads.

And asylum seekers living in ­million-pound properties have sparked fury across the country.


In 2008, the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, along with the Local Government Association, ­issued a report claiming just 2% of social housing was taken up by ­foreigners who had arrived in the UK within the past five years. A blatant lie !

However, yesterday’s report, the 2008-09 English Housing Survey from the Department Of Communities And Local Government, proves those ­figures were wrong, campaigners Migrationwatch UK said last night.

The group’s chairman, Sir Andrew Green, said:
“This finally destroys the myth that less than 2% of council and housing association tenants are recent immigrants.”

The issue of foreigners taking up places on council house waiting lists is grossly unfair.

Earlier this year we revealed ­Somali Abdi Nur, 42, and his seven ­children had been handed the keys to a £2.1million house in west London.

And single mum-of-seven Toorpakai Saeidi, from Afghanistan, costs the state £12,458 a month in housing benefit for her £1.2m home, also in west London.

In August we told how thousands of East Europeans are jumping council house queues after arriving here. Last year 4,000 local authority homes were given to people from abroad.

Speaking at the time, Housing ­Minister Grant Shapps said: “It causes a great deal of concern and is problematic for social cohesion when people who have lived in an area for a long time aren’t given preference.”

Meanwhile, hero squaddie Craig Barker, 26, complained he was turned down for a council house ­because he had “moved away” from his home town Bracknell, Berks, to go to war.

L/Cpl Barker told us: “The council has let us down from the start.”

After the report, Daily Star readers voted in their thousands, with 98% saying Our Boys should be at the top of the list for council houses.

The lack of council housing has been moved to the top of the agenda since Prime Minister David ­Cameron suggested ending the right to council houses for life. There are 1.8m people waiting for a council house, with the average wait now six years.


As usual the Daily Star distorts the truth.

There is no such thing as a lack of council housing.

Even though thousands of council houses have been sold off under Maggies right-to-buy’ policy, it would still be possible to hugely reduce the number of people on the waiting list.

The first thing for councils to do is give priority to long term residents in order to prevent newly arrived foreigners jumping to the front of the queue.

Then government should prevent immigrants and asylum seekers getting council accommodation because they made themselves deliberately homeless by leaving their own country (our indigenous are denied it for the same reason) , and I don’t see why British taxpayers should pay for them.

Finally, councils should crack down on sub-letting, ‘asylum seekers’ renting out the homes they live in, but are paid for by our taxes. Meanwhile the rents they gather are sent by wire transfer to family and friends in godforsaken countries to buy passage to the UK and continue the chain.

Any chance of all of the above happening?

German Chancellor admits " The multicultural society has failed." The BNP are vindicated.


Attempts to build a multicultural society in Germany have "utterly failed", Chancellor Angela Merkel says.

She said the so-called "multikulti" concept - where people would "live side-by-side" happily - did not work, and immigrants needed to do more to integrate - including learning German.

The comments come amid rising anti-immigration feeling in Germany.

A recent survey suggested more than 30% of people believed the country was "overrun by foreigners".

The study - by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation think-tank - also showed that roughly the same number thought that some 16 million of Germany's immigrants or people with foreign origins had come to the country for its social benefits.

Mrs Merkel told a gathering of younger members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party on Saturday that at "the beginning of the 60s our country called the foreign workers to come to Germany and now they live in our country."

She added: "We kidded ourselves a while, we said: 'They won't stay, sometime they will be gone', but this isn't reality."

She specifically referred to recent comments by German President Christian Wulff who said that Islam was "part of Germany", like Christianity and Judaism.

Mrs Merkel said: "We should not be a country either which gives the impression to the outside world that those who don't speak German immediately or who were not raised speaking German are not welcome here."

There has been intense debate about multiculturalism in Germany in recent months.

Correspondents say Mrs Merkel faces pressure from within her CDU and its allies to take a tougher stance and require immigrants to do more to adapt to German society.

Earlier this week, Horst Seehofer, the leader of the CDU's Bavarian sister party, the CSU, said it was "obvious that immigrants from different cultures like Turkey and Arab countries, all in all, find it harder" to integrate.

Earlier this month the chancellor held talks with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in which the two leaders pledged to do more to improve the often poor integration record of Germany's estimated 2.5 million-strong Turkish community.

The debate first heated up in August when Thilo Sarrazin, a senior official at Germany's central bank, said that "no immigrant group other than Muslims is so strongly connected with claims on the welfare state and crime". Mr Sarrazin has since resigned.

Such recent strong anti-immigration feelings from mainstream politicians come amid an anger in Germany about high unemployment, even if the economy is growing faster than those of its rivals.

He adds that there also seems to be a new strident tone in the country, perhaps leading to less reticence about no-go-areas of the past.

A cap on immigration is another lie.




When, during the General Election campaign the Conservatives promised to put a cap on immigration, we pointed out that this was a big fat porkie pie.

Since the ratification of the Lisbon treaty (Constitution) immigration and asylum policies have been dictated by the EU and therefore the unelected EU bureaucrats have the final say on this topic.

We also pointed out that anyone with an EU passport can come to the UK to live, work and claim benefits and there is nothing ‘government’ can do to stop them.

Once again we have been proved right, it was revealed that Bulgaria has announced plans to hand passports to more than 500,000 non-EU citizens – giving them long-term rights to live and work in the UK.

Nationality minister Bozhidar Dimitrov says the new citizens – currently from the Ukraine and Moldova – would be free to come and live in Bulgaria.

However, EU border rules mean they could also set up home in other EU countries, including Britain.

Sofia, the capital city of Bulgaria, has said it is giving passports to 500,000 inhabitants of the Ukraine and Moldova, which would allow them the right to live and work in the UK.

In the past year alone, Bulgaria has issued almost 80,000 new passports to people who claim Bulgarian descent, dating back to their grandparents, living in other countries.

Currently, Britain has controls on the number of citizens from Bulgaria and Romania, -they both joined the EU in 2007- who can work here each year.

No more than 25,000 low-skilled workers are permitted to take jobs in agriculture and food processing.

These controls – imposed after ministers so badly misjudged the number of Eastern Europeans that would arrive from Poland, and the seven other ex-Communist countries which joined the EU in 2004 – last until 2011.

Under EU rules, they can be extended for another two years, a decision ministers are almost certain to approve.

But after 2013, Bulgarians will be allowed the same rights of free movement as any other EU national. That means the 500,000 migrants about to be granted passports will be free to work and travel to Britain. Similar passport schemes have been launched by Hungary and Romania.

If a significant number of the new EU citizens travel to the UK, it will make it far harder for the Coalition to meet its promise of reducing net migration – the difference between the number of people arriving each year, and those leaving – from 196,000 to the ‘tens of thousands’.

When Poland joined the EU in 2004, ministers predicted only 13,000 people would move here. In total, more than one million have arrived.

Hungary recently announced that, from next year, it will begin handing out passports to minority groups that have historic or ethnic ties to the East European country but live elsewhere.

The Hungarians will have immediate access to the UK, since there are no controls on countries which joined the EU in 2004.

Immigration minister Damian Green said: ‘The new Government is determined to reduce net migration to the tens of thousands per year.

‘We have already introduced an interim cap on non-EU economic migrants and introduced English language requirements for spouse and partner visas.

‘We will introduce a permanent cap, bring forward proposals to prevent the abuse of student visas and implement transitional controls on all new EU member states in future.’

If Damian Green wants to be taken seriously, he should start a campaign to kick out the million or so illegal immigrants living in the UK.

So far there is no indication that government is moving in that direction, and no one distances themselves for an amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Brian Gerrish of the UK Column speaks on TV about the " Justice for Linda Lewis Campaign."



There is a little bit more than just the above video.

Brian Gerrish first mentions Lindas case after about 7 minutes into the link below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LwMxx4ldgI

and then for about the first 4 minutes of the following link.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6oLPJPlL7Y

There are thousands of equally tragic cases out there but NONE who have all the evidence to prove what has happened apart from this one.

The two local politicians Hywel Francis MP and Dr Brian Gibbons AM are both aware of this case and both are " deliberately aiding in covering up this case."They know that Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Social Services acted illegally when they "kidnapped" Linda's 11 year old daughter at gunpoint from her hospital bed in America using a false and illegal passport.

Both have seen the evidence. Both have a "duty of care" to represent their constituent Linda Lewis.

Both run a mile when asked about this case, neither should be allowed to hold "Public Office."

Both should be in jail.

Dr Hywel Francis removed documentation from Linda Lewis and placed it into his office safe in front of witnesses obviously thinking that Linda Lewis had no other copies. WHAT A FOOL !

Dr Brian Gibbons was shown an X-Ray by Linda Lewis where he CORRECTLY diagnosed that Linda's daughter had "Zollinger Ellisons." This proves that Linda's daughter was indeed seriously ill despite Dr Dewi Evans and others stating that her " pain was imaginary ! "

Even more damning is that during the General Election Campaign Linda approached Dr Gibbons and said " Brian, You know that If I had given my daughter the 80mgs of Oral Morphine then my daughter would have been dead in the morning."

In front of witnesses he answered " Yes."

What type of men are these two to let this happen to an innocent mother and her family but most importantly to Linda's daughter who is now 24 years and still under the care of Social Services paid operatives.?

Quite simply "Scum."

Should anyone wish to contact the above guilty parties their email addresses are
francish@parliament.uk and brian.gibbons@wales.gov.uk .

But some words of warning they will not give you a straight answer.

They will hide behind the following.

"There is an injunction on this case I cannot comment." Or "I cannot comment as there is an injunction in place to protect the childs identity."

Two points.

1 - No injunction can be taken out to cover up criminal actions as per our evidence. This is an illegal injunction issued by a bent judge to protect the guilty and prevent them from facing justice.

2 - What child ? Linda's daughter is now 24, an adult and this is no longer an issue for the family courts.

The only people that they wish to protect is themselves for their terrible part in covering up this tragic and evil case !

Remember we have all the evidence.

Good Luck

Comedian Rory Bremner raises his fears about the "Religion of Peace."


Rory Bremner has voiced his fears about the "chilling" effect of religious fundamentalism on satire.
.
Rory, 49, says in a forthcoming TV documentary that the issues around religion posed the "greatest danger" for comedians.
.
He says he had asked himself whether he was writing his "own death warrant" when he penned sketches about Islam.
.
The impressionist says on BBC documentary Frost On Satire: "The greatest danger now is that one of the toughest issues of our time is religion.
.
"When (I'm) writing a sketch about Islam, I'm writing a line and I think, 'If this goes down badly, I'm writing my own death warrant there'. Because there are people who will say, 'Not only do I not think that's funny but I'm going to kill you' - and that's chilling."
.
He cites the case of Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, who has faced death threats for his image of the prophet Mohammed wearing a turban that looked like a bomb.
.
He says: "If you're a Danish cartoonist and you work in a Western tradition, people don't take that too seriously.
.
"Suddenly you're confronted by a group of people who are fundamentalist and extreme and they say, 'We're going to kill you because of what you have said or drawn'. Where does satire go from there, because we like to be brave but not foolish."

Sickening !

A group of extremist Muslims prompted violent clashes at a homecoming parade for British troops today after they heckled soldiers and called them 'murderers.'
.

Members of the Muslim Against the Crusade group clashed with far right protesters as they shouted 'murderers, murderers, murderers' and 'British troops go to hell' as members of the 1st Battalion the Royal Anglian Regiment paraded down the streets of Barking, Essex.
.
The hour-long parade had been delayed due to growing tensions between the two sides, with anti-Mac protestors singing God Save the Queen and drinkers at a nearby pub hurling frozen pork sausages at the Muslims.

.
Moments after the soldiers passed through tensions reached boiling point and the anti-Mac campaigners broke through the barricades, charged across the road and traded punches with the Muslim throng.

.
Police quickly separated the mob, with one man wrestled to the ground, handcuffed and led away while the police made a ring surrounding the Muslim group.

.
They then had to hold back the anti-Muslim group as the Mac protesters made their way to a tube station.
.
Two men were arrested after the violence, for public order offences.

.
Local woman Dee McEvoy, 50, stood in front of the Muslims protesters, waving her two union Jack flags as the soldiers passed.

.
She said: 'I'm here for the army and the British forces.

.
The protesters are entitled to their opinion but they are taking it out on the wrong people. They should be taking it out on the Government.
.
'This is not the reception these boys and girls deserve. But it is democracy in action.'

.
Earlier the Muslim group was attacked by a barrage of eggs.
.
One member of the Mac group used a megaphone to shout: 'This is a protest against parading in a Muslim area. We love death the way you love life.'
.
He branded British soldiers as 'butchers' and 'despots.'

.
The Muslim protesters chanted 'Democracy' as they had an uneasy stand-off against a mob, some waving St George's Crosses, Union flags and an English Defence League flag.

.
Anti-Mac protesters sang 'I'll be English 'till my dying day,' and jeered 'We pay your benefits.'

.
Further down the street onlookers, who had arrived simply to pay their respects to the soldiers, were disgusted by the scenes.

.
The girlfriend of a Royal Anglian soldier killed in Afghanistan said the extremists should have been banned from attending the parade.

.
Lance Corporal Scott Hardy, 26, from Chelmsford in Essex, was killed in an explosion near Musa Qala on Tuesday March 16, just weeks before he was due to return home.

.
Lance Corporal Hardy's partner Charlene Byrne, 24, said: 'It's absolutely disgusting. I know this kind of thing has happened before in Luton but I don't understand how it has been allowed to happened again.
.
'It's terrible that this group has got away with it.

.
Obviously not everyone supports what's happening in Afghanistan, there are people who are very angry about it, but they shouldn't take it out on the soldiers.'
.
Emily Penson-Clark, who took the day off work to support the soldiers with her young daughter and parents said: 'I think the protesters are filth. I'm here to support our troops. They put their lives on the line for us. I've got three words: Help for Heroes.'

.
The soldiers remained undaunted by the abuse, and marched through the town centre with fixed bayonets, accompanied by the Minden Band, a Colour Party and two guards of 70 officers and non-commisioned officers.

.
The Freedom parade stopped briefly in Barking Town Square where the Mayor, Councillor Nirmal Singh Gill, General Sir John McColl and the Queen's deputy Lieutenant Major Anthony O'Hagan took a salute and inspected the troops.

Victory for Geert Wilders and the Dutch Freedom Party

A big well done to Geert Wilders and his Freedom Party on their fantastic election results.
.
Dutch politics are going to change for the better now that the Freedom Party have increased their number of seats from 9 to 24.
.
Campaigning on an anti-immigration and anti-Islam platform, the Freedom Party doubled it's share of the vote.
.
Mr Wilders, who has now lived for over six years with constant police protection because of death threats made to him by followers of the Cult of the Dead Paedophile is currently on trial for inciting racial hatred after he correctly pointed out that the Koran was similar to Mein Kampf and that Nazism and Islam were both destructive forces for evil.
.
European Nationalism is on the rise and will not be stopped.
.
I wonder if the BBC will report on this election fairly? If they report it at all that is.

The insanity of the European Union has to stop !


Britain was last night warned to expect a new wave of immigration from Eastern Europe after almost half a million Ukrainians and Serbians were given the right to live, work and claim benefits in the UK.
.
Controversial rules passed by the Hungarian parliament mean that anyone who can speak the nation’s language or prove they have Hungarian ancestry can become a citizen and get a full EU passport.

.
This means they will be granted full employment rights in the UK and access to British benefits.

Surviving Enoch's Prophesy

People are too frightened to speak about what is being done to them and their families or express their fears for the future.
.
If they live near immigrants they blot anxiety out and pretend everything is alright.
.
If someone gets mugged or raped nearby they are relieved because it did not happen to them.
.
They avoid subways and many other hides for muggers that the planners built into their stupid housing schemes.
.
You only have to go a couple of miles from affected areas and people are oblivious to what is happening because the elites are browbeating them into thinking things are fine.
.
If they have had experience of the reality when they go to unaffected areas they won't speak about it for fear of condemnation.
.
They are frightened to look into the future and what natural care they have for their children has to be repressed.
.
As Enoch put it:"Have you ever wondered, perhaps, why opinions which the majority of people quite naturally hold are, if anyone dares express them publicly, denounced as 'controversial, 'extremist', 'explosive', 'disgraceful', and overwhelmed with a violence and venom quite unknown to debate on mere political issues?
.
It is because the whole power of the aggressor depends upon preventing people from seeing what is happening and from saying what they see."

IMMIGRANTS FROM POVERTY-HIT BULGARIA TO COME TO BRITAIN


The former Communist state’s economy has plummeted in the credit crunch.
.
A massive 29% of the population can no longer afford to eat, while one in five earn less than £90 a month for full-time work, according to Bulgarian newspaper the Standart.
.
More than 20,000 immigrants a month came to Britain from the former Eastern Bloc nation before the recession, then the numbers began to dwindle.
.
But now Bulgarian officials believe similar numbers could start heading to the UK again, despite our population standing at over 61million.
.
A Bulgarian official said: “Britain is the No 1 target for people leaving our country.
.
“It’s where they believe they can most easily pick up work.”
.
The influx is set to be one of the trickiest issues for Immigration Minister Damian Green, 54.
.
And Sir Andrew Green, 59, of think tank MigrationWatch said the Bulgarian situation was “something to watch.”

Neath Port Talbot will be like Milton Keynes within 10 years on current trends. Frightening !


The rapid colonisation of Britain by the Third World continues apace with the news that the town of Milton Keynes now boasts inhabitants who speak over 104 different but mostly Third World languages.
.
The dramatic influx of colonisers has placed a huge burden on the council to pay for translation services for the tidal wave of immigrants who have settled in the town.
.
This cost will ultimately be transferred onto the taxpayers either through council tax increases or central Government subsidies.
.
According to reports, more than eight dozen languages, including obscure West African and Indian dialects, have arrived with waves of new migrants over the last decade.
.
The local authority has had to employ more than 300 interpreters to cope with the influx of spongers.
.
The Milton Keynes Community Language Service (MKCLS), paid for by the council, has increased the number of interpreters by 15 times over the past decade.
.
Only ten years ago it was required to provide interpreters for 12 languages, compared to the 105 now required.
.
Some of the languages indicate the extent of the Third World invasion, and include Twi, a language in Ghana; Telugu, spoken in India; and Yoruba, used in Nigeria.
.
Incredibly, preparations are underway to recruit a further 20 interpreters and the Afghan language Pashto will be added to the council’s repertoire by the end of the year.
.
The MKCLS provides a free 24-hour service to immigrants to enable them to “understand housing, health, police and legal matters” in Milton Keynes and the neighbouring towns of Luton, Bedford and Northampton.
.
What this means is that these fresh-off-the-boat immigrants have to be taught how to apply for benefits and how to deal with what seems to be an inevitable run-in with the police and criminal justice system.
.
“It's ridiculous that people are claiming benefits for years but can't even fill in a form about themselves in our national language,” Matthew Elliott, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance was quoted as saying in response to the news.
.
Hywel Francis according to the following article is delighted that 21 languages are now spoken in Neath Port Talbot.
.
.
He will be ecstatic when Neath Port Talbot is turned into another Milton Keynes !
.
Will you be ecstatic is the question that you need to ask yourself ?

Disgusting New Labour starts to get some of it's own medicine back. "The people are waking up. Thank God for the BNP."


The Labour Party, which has long used a number of third party front organisations to attack the British National Party in a blatant disregard of the democratic process, has been hit by its own tactics with the distribution of a 12-page magazine in Barking devoted to exposing sitting MP Margaret Hodge.
.
The magazine, called the Barking and Dagenham Sentinel, is a full colour publication which details sex, cash and personality scandals which reveal the MP as unfit to hold office.
.
“The BNP has long been the victim of these third party campaigns and it seems that the Labour Party is getting some of its own medicine back,” said BNP leader Nick Griffin, who is fighting Ms Hodge’s seat.
.
“This magazine has been produced by a loose coalition of non-BNP people,” Mr Griffin said.
.
The magazine, currently being distributed in the Barking constituency, discusses how Ms Hodge was a “loony leftist” who, during her tenure as council leader in 1982, flew the red flag over the town hall and had a bust of Lenin on her desk.
.
In addition, the magazine says, she ignored repeated requests from social workers to do something about the sexual abuse of children in Islington Council Care.
.
The magazine also details Ms Hodge’s parliamentary expenses claims.
.
The MP, who is the richest woman in Parliament with a £50 million personal fortune, claimed for organic coffee and biscuits — and even a 25 pence carrier bag — from the taxpayers as part of her expenses.
.
The entire document makes riveting reading and can be downloaded from the Internet by clicking here.
.
PLEASE NOTE.
.
This woman knows about " The Justice for Linda Lewis Campaign." and the abuse that Linda's daughter has suffered and has covered it up.
.
Just like Hywel Francis and Dr Brian Gibbons she has ignored the abuse Linda's daughter has suffered and the pain that has been inflicted on Linda's family.
.
These "PARASITES " deserve to go and will be exposed and brought to justice.
.
By voting BNP I will bring them to account.

Madness. I will campaign to have Water Street reopened in both directions if elected.


The recent closure of Water Street, Port Talbot is proving not to be a very smart move by the "HALFWITS" who masquerade as members of the increasingly unaccountable Neath and Port Talbot County Borough Council.
.
Why has it been done ?
.
According to an article in the South Wales Evening Post recently one of the reasons stated for this is "to improve air quality in the area by reducing levels of nitrogen dioxide."
.
Authority "Dictatorial" leader Ali Thomas said: "This work is essential to ensure the area is not designated as an air quality management area, as this would be detrimental to the area's future development opportunities."
.
How strange is that !
.
A council supposedly concerned about air quality in the Fairfield.
.
Is this not the same Council that has approved the "Stinking and Unwanted Biomass Fuel Plant" that encroaches within yards of peoples houses in Margam ?
.
So what about the additional pollution that is being created by cars having to go around the "wacky races system" to get back to the Fairfield, an additional journey of about 1 mile.
.
According to a Western Mail article in January 2009.
.
The £80m Port Talbot Distributor Road was in danger of becoming a ghost road, with traffic levels well below what council chiefs were expecting.
.
Just 8,000 vehicles were using the road a day, leading to traffic jams along Water Street with 22,000 vehicles a day.
.
So 22,000 vehicles used Water Street every day in both directions.
.
Now 11000 vehicles have to undertake an additional mile due to Water Street being closed in one direction.
.
That is 11000 miles of "Carbon Monoxide " being spewed in to the air for no reason whatsoever and additional cost to motorists already pressed by fuel at £1.20 per litre !
.
I have also been told that a taxi home now costs and extra £2 thanks to the additional mileage required.
.
This "lunacy" is to be reconsidered after 3 months according to NPTCBC which is about now.
.
I have emailed them urging this to end and for Water Street to be reopened in both directions.
.
So let's wait and see what happens.
.
