We held our fourth paper sale on Saturday it went tremendously well. Good turnout of six activists - enough to deter any would be trouble causers. One or two chaps couldn’t make it but promised to be there next time. We have now established the best position for our stand – against the flowerbed wall outside Boots. We also have a large board with ‘BNP NEWS’ written on it in big black letters which can be read from a good 40 yards, so if they can’t hear us shouting they can read the sign.
As it was a match day there were plenty of police about and two officers came over. They took a copy of all our leaflets and our newspaper, and went away. Five minutes later they returned to tell us what we already knew. We were quite within our rights to be there, but some people might get upset about our presence so just be aware of that. We assured him that we were not going to argue with anyone – just let them have their say and carry on. I must say though that it is very rare for anyone to have a go at us. Just one guy came over and told us in a thick Eastern European accent that everyone had a right to live. We didn’t bother to reply to such an inane comment. Of course everyone has a right to live - in their own country. Their right to live in our country is granted by our treacherous Labour Government.
Although our main salesman Pete couldn’t make it on the day another member Dale showed up who turned out to be equally as good. These guys can really sell our paper to the public. Tremendous effort. We were there about two hours and had a camera on us all the time. Also one of our chaps had brought some recording equipment so we could record our conversations with any hostile members of the public. As I said though 99% of people who came over were interested and supportive. I’m going to have to increase our order by another 100, and possibly 150 papers to cover these events.

I had a phone call on the landline the other day from a man with a strong Indian or Pakistani accent. It went as follows:-
Man: Is that the British National Party?
Me: Yes it is.
Man: I am interested in joining the Party. How can I do this?
Me: Are you on the internet? Well look on there for a form.
The guy had taken me completely by surprise. People will say “oh you should have said this, or that” but I had no time to think so I was just trying to get rid of him.
Man: So am I allowed to join then?
Me: No, not as full member. But I suppose you already knew that.
Man: You are a racist Party.
Me: Well I’m not allowed to join the Black Police Officers Association. Isn’t that racist?
By now I had managed to get my brain into gear.
Man: You’re racists.
Me: I’m sorry you feel like that – goodbye.
Then two days later the same guy rang again. He gave me his name this time – typical Muslim name – don’t remember it. He asked me again if he could join. I said “ didn’t you ring the other day? – look, you can’t join because you’re a Pakistani. We have nothing against you personally my friend but that’s the way it is” This time I didn’t give him chance to get his ‘racist’ insult in and put the phone straight down. Next time he rings I’m just going to hang up as soon as I know it’s him. I don’t know if he’s trying to scare me but it takes a bit more than that.

We are holding our third activists meeting in the first week of September. Only people who have shown willing and taken an active part in our campaigns are invited to these. We held one after the May election and one in July. These meetings are to bring activists up to date on the latest developments, e.g. number of enquiries received, progress of our street sales, forthcoming events, etc, and also to discuss and plan our campaigns. They are also to encourage everyone to greater efforts for our Party and our country. We get as many people attending these meetings as attended the full general meetings two years ago.
