Last night (28th) saw a very successful meeting held in Liverpool with over 40 people in attendance, the guest speaker of the night was Peter Mullins from Cornwall. Peter spoke on a number of issues to do with the BNP from how we fund ourselves and not having multi millionaire donors, to how our website is the most visited political website in the UK and also spoke about ABEX.
There was a free buffet for all those who attended and a raffle with a number of prizes. At the end of the meeting there was a very good collection and overall £340 was raised.
Our next meeting will be next month, if you would like to get involved with Merseyside BNP or attend our next meeting then please get in touch with us, our contact details are:

£15m injection to regenerate rundown areas on Mersyeside
A CONTROVERSIAL housing scheme to regenerate rundown areas on Merseyside is to receive a total of £152m between now and 2011.
The New Heartlands housing renewal scheme is the biggest beneficiary in the north-west of a national £1bn Government programme which aims to improve areas where houses are empty or unsaleable – in many cases by widespread demolition and building new homes.The Merseyside scheme covers 130,000 homes across Liverpool, Sefton and Wirral.It will receive £54m this year, £51m in 2009/10, and £47m in 2010/11. The Government said the money would be used to “restore stable communities”.
COMMENT
What exactly does "restore stable communities" mean. When I see statements or comments like these the alarm bells in my head start ringing. The problem with councils and Government is that they tell you things but of which does not mean a thing. I wonder who will be given preference to all these nice new houses once the building work has been completed as well and which areas are going to be the kucky ones to receive the cash.

Council taxes to go up an average £67 a household
COUNCIL tax bills across Liverpool will increase by a total of 4.8%, or £67 for the average household.It comes after Liverpool City Council's Liberal Democrat administration announced yesterday it was planning to increase its share by 4.9%.
When added to the Fire Authority's 4% rise and the Police Authority's 5% increase it means bills across the city will go up by 4.8% from April.If approved by the full council on March 5, the typical band A households will pay an extra £44.79 bringing their bills to £964.25, while those in the average band D will pay £1446.38 – a rise of £67.19.
COMMENT
Its not even funny any more. Is there ever going to be a year when any sort of tax does not rise. There will become a breaking point when all of us simply say you can have the clothes off my back as well. Its been well documented on this site how wasteful Liverpool council has been, but I see no chance in the future of any reduction either. I would also like to remind everyone that the economy and all of Britain should also be coining it in, all of us better off due to millions coming into the country on the cheap!...Where are the benefits then? I cannot see them.

Merseyside hit by earthquake
Earthquake felt across much of UK
The earthquake caused damage to many homes
The biggest earthquake in the UK for nearly 25 years has shaken homes across large parts of the country.
People in Newcastle, Yorkshire, London, Cumbria, the Midlands, Norfolk and also parts of Wales, felt the tremor just before 0100 GMT. A man suffered a broken pelvis when a chimney collapsed in South Yorkshire. The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the epicentre of the 5.2 magnitude quake was near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire.
COMMENT
Well was it good for you?...The earth moving that is. In the grand scheme of things when mother nature decides to act, there is truly nothing we can do about it. I was writing a letter last night (this morning) when the quake started, I immediately knew what was happening as I have experienced the recent ones to have struck Britain, but this one I thought was the most powerful. I cant wait until the next one!

Lord Mayor’s parade to be spectacularly eco-friendly And Diverse
THIS year’s Lord Mayor’s Parade in Liverpool is expected to be the greenest ever staged.“The Lord Mayor’s parade is a great way for people to give to charity, have a great deal of fun and show off Liverpool’s uniquely diverse community at the same time.
“We are trying to give the event a much greener emphasis, as no one wants to parade behind smelly petrol or diesel fumes which release greenhouse gasses that contribute to global warming.
COMMENT
Lord Mayors parade I have no problem with. The politically correct rubbish that is the "celebration of Liverpool's uniquely diverse community" somewhat leaves a sour taste in the mouth. I wonder why the likes of Labour councillors in celebrating these diverse communities only celebrates at "arms length", as long as these diverse communities are not in their back yard shall we say. Hypocrites the lot of them.
As regards the greenhouse gasses situation this Labour councillor would do better to lobby the thieving gits in Parliament, which are the Labour MP's who fly their family to London with discount air flights using MP's air miles, which is I understand against Parliamentary rules. Oh and lets not forget the taxis all over London for his wife as well just to do the days shopping. (Michael

Liverpool 'terror doctor' appears in court
A man charged over the alleged London and Glasgow car bombs plot, who was arrested in Liverpool, has appeared in court.
Doctor Sabeel Ahmed, 26, made an application for bail during a private hearing at Woolwich Crown Court.
After one hour of argument, Mr Justice Calvert-Smith adjourned the hearing to a date to be set and remanded Ahmed back into custody.
He is accused of not disclosing information that could have helped police arrest a suspected terrorist.
Ahmed was arrested near Liverpool’s Lime Street station on June 30 last year and was later charged under the Terrorism Act.
Originally from Bangalore in India, he was the third person charged in the investigation.
He is the brother of Kafeel Ahmed, who was held at Glasgow airport after a burning Jeep was driven into the terminal building. He later died of his injuries.
Bilal Abdullah, 28, and Mohammed Asha, 27, both face trial later this year accused of conspiracy to cause explosions.
Last June two cars containing petrol, gas cylinders and nails were discovered in London.
The next day a burning car was driven into a terminal building at Glasgow airport.
COMMENT
He made an application for bail?, bloody cheek. Readers of this blog will be updated on this story as the case progresses, in the meantime this fella is safely behind bars where he belongs.
