Packed meeting in Barnsley

The meeting of the BNP in Barnsley on Tuesday 14th was very well attended with over 100 people in the audience, which well exceeding expectations. Possibly it was due to the recent publicity over the trial, or maybe people have just had enough of the mess created by the Establishment parties and are urgently looking for a solution.

The meeting was introduced by
Paul Harris, Barnsley Organiser, who explained how the Labour run Council is doing its utmost to encourage ethnic minorities to come and live in Barnsley, against almost everyone’s wishes. Currently Barnsley is unique in the towns and cities of South and West Yorkshire in having only a small ethnic minority population. Unless the BNP can make serious inroads into power in this town in the next 5 - 10 years we will soon be having the same problems with failed multiculturalism as the rest of Yorkshire.

The next speaker was
Ian Sutton, who in the May local elections received 701 votes (24%) in the Darton West ward. This was only 234 votes behind the winning Labour candidate and made the Labour party in Barnsley sit up and pay attention. Ian described the threat posed by Islam in this country, and the trouble caused by Islam around the world. He also described the contempt that Muslims have for the female sex, and the barbaric practices of Sharia law.

Standing ovation

Marlene Guest, Rotherham Organiser, then volunteered to do a short speech and described her experiences at the Remembrance Day parade, and how the young men who fought for King and Country in two world wars had been betrayed. Many in the audience were reduced to tears and she received a standing ovation.

After the break Dewsbury BNP activist Frank Atak, and Dewsbury BNP Councillor Colin Auty delivered rousing speeches encouraging people to get involved with the party before Barnsley went the same way as their own town. Colin described the ridiculous measures that Kirklees Council are now taking to try and encourage their different communities to integrate. Thanks are due to these two who came to the meeting at a moment’s notice when the main speaker from Keighley was unable to make it.

The meeting was wound up with the raffle being drawn, and a collection, which brought in over £230. Many people from the audience joined the party there and then or requested membership forms and information packs.

Everyone went away impressed with the professional standard of the party in Barnsley.
