Echo Debate - the letter they didnt print!

On Monday 21st July 2008, we reported on our blog about the recent debate in the Liverpool Echo about the British National Party. Our branch Treasurer decided to write into the Echo to thank them and also to answer a few points from a couple of letters. The Echo didn’t print the letter, so here it is for you to read.


Dear Sir,

With the resent debate in your letters page surrounding the British National Party having a letter printed by one of our members, Pete Molloy, (Echo, July 9) and the Liverpool Echo stipulating it will stand up for freedom of speech, I would like to add a few points if I may.

Firstly, I would like to thank the Echo for printing letters form our members as it shows that the paper is prepared to allow all points of view to be heard, so that the general public can form their own opinion. This is true democracy that needs to be upheld. With the Echo allowing points of views from any political party does not mean the Echo endorses that particular party’s view, so why should Mr. Jenkins find the Echo’s stance for freedom of speech and democracy so abhorrent( Echo, July 17)? May be he’d rather live in Magube’s Zimbabwe where people are persecuted for their political beliefs if they are different of those of the State.

Secondly, Mr Jenkins states that we are a ‘fascist’ organisation and that there is no place in our city for the British National Party’s ‘vile hatred’. With regards to the former, the British National Party believes in democracy and that is why we want to introduce the Citizens Initiated Referenda, which would provide a great say for the electorate. Greater democracy than we have now, so how can this be fascism I do not know. The latter, Mr. Jenkins fails to provide an example of his accusation, which is very common with people like him. The general public are far more intelligent to except generic statements and want to know hard facts.

With regards to our party Chairman, Nick Griffin, he has never been convicted of denying the holocaust, not least because it is not an offence under British law. He was, in the last century, very critical of the way in which the real suffering and mass murder of the Jews of occupied Europe has been exploited by mainly atheistic gentile leftists as a moral club to stifle criticism of mass immigration. He long ago expressed regret that the language used upset some individual Jews, as, in the post-9/11 world, the free peoples of the West and the Jews need to bury past quarrels and stand together against the threat of Islamic imperialism.

Finally, I am not being disrespectful to Mr Tomlinson (Echo July 18), Chair of the Merseyside Black Police Association, but he is not in a position to understand what it is like to be a ‘white working class British male’ in New Labour’s modern Britain. This is because rascism only seems to cut one way with New Labour and that is why white people may feel they can’t be victims of rascism. May be this is why they are significantly under-represented as complainants at race employment tribunals.

However, I would like to remind Mr Tomlinson of two racial discrimination cases on white males that the Police have committed.

The most recently was that of an ex-British Army Lance Corporal, Ben Mayer, who applied to join the Metropolitan Police in Feb 2008 and was informed by the Met that they were “actively seeking to raise interest from black and minority ethnic communities and females”. And the case of Ralph Welsman, who in March 2006, won a five figure sum from Avon and Somerset Police, because they broke sex and race discrimination laws with its recruitment policy.

So if Mr Tomlinson wants to champion the need of equality in employment then may be he should start ‘in house’ first.

Liverpool Council attempt to bully and intimidate BNP member!

THE former owner of Liverpool’s Quiggins centre has been warned by the city’s Culture Company about using the 08 logo to promote the British National Party.

Hill Dickinson, the Culture Company’s solicitors, have written to BNP party member Peter Tierney threatening legal action over his use of a version of the Liverpool 08 logo on an advertising hoarding he tows behind a vehicle.

The threat comes in the same month they contacted former Culture Company chief executive Jason Harborow for using the logo on the website of a consultancy firm he set up after leaving the company.

But Mr Tierney, who trades as Peter Quiggins from his antique dealership on Aigburth Road, claims the threats are unnecessary and heavy-handed.

---Comment---

Yet again we see that excersing free speech is only for the people in charge or indirectly connected to the people in power. Lets face it, the Daily post and the Liverpool Echo collectively are rag bag papers with second rate columnists and writers who dream of bigger things. It is clear that democracy and freedom of speech is not supported by these comics. It is fantastic that the likes of Peter Tierney is standing up for what he believes in despite the bully boy tactics of a few and behind the scene trouble makers of Liverpool Council. We are under no doubt that if Peter Tierney was not a member and supporter of the BNP that no or any legal action would be taken against him, or 'threats' of legal action. God help anyone in Liverool for having an opinion, shame on Liverpool Council and shame on Liverpool Echo and Daily Post for not standing up for the 'little man' on the street. But what else would you expect from these hypocrites.

Ian Hernon, Liverpool Echo "Blinkered" Imbecile

Like most of the columnists at the Liverpool Echo its interesting to read the articles written by them that are obviously "left wing byas" seen through rose tinted Labour spectacles. I refer to today's Echo article by plant pot Ian Hernon. I too lived and saw what happened through every minute of the Thatcher era, but I have also lived through every minute of the the Blair era also. I describe one as being a true British patriot, the other a self serving, lying white collar murdering swine who has done more to sell the rights of British people than Thatcher ever did. Everyone in the country knew WMD was an outrageous lie, apart from Labour Ministers and the columnists in the Liverpool Echo no doubt. How many British lives have been lost in Iraq because of this lie?.What about the 750,000 innocent Iraqi men women and children who were murdered by Blair along with Bush, a point that the Liverpool Echo and their columnists have overlooked.

The Toxteth riots unless my memory serves me correctly was down to and caused by the Merseyside police for their stop and search racist policy which was being directed at the Black ethnic minorities in Toxteth.

Hernon's Thatcher reference with Herman Goering and heavy industries is a laugh. Blair and Browns Labour Britain is now Britain for the migrant and immigrant worker. A British skilled man has got no chance of finding a decently paid job because he is positively discriminated against in favour of less qualified people who have the right looking complexion all with a nod and a wink from this traitorous Labour Government.

I have never voted for either the Conservatives or Labour, but at least Thatcher I can describe as being British, something the traitors Brown and Blair will never be.
