ENGLAND: BNP SAY 'HOLOCAUST HAPPENED' AND LAY WREATH!

[Ed: An ex-BNP member sent this into us. He and his kind in London were
dismissed as 'Alf Garnett types' on a London radio station, resulting in
a
mass exodus.
    Those who say the BNP are still Nationalist - with a nudge, nudge,
wink, wink - need to read this carefully.
    No doubt, as in many other ways - pro-life, anti-zionist, war in
Afghanistan etc. - now the BNP leadership will make vague revisionist
noises to the members.
    That's not good enough.
    There's too much yiddery pokery going on wityh people like Fini in
Italy visiting Yad Vashem and all the rest of the cobblers.
    if kissing holohoax butt is one of the prices to pay -- and remember
mr. Griffin's 'compromise' article in the Israeli newspaper? -- then it's

far too high a price for a scattering of councillors. What would the
price
be for an MP?
    Read The Party System by H Belloc and C Chesterton - available from
FC
- and then you'll realise that the system wins every time, even with
those
who enter it with the best of intentions...]:

BNP Councillors lay wreath for Holocaust "victims" Personally, I find it
in
very poor taste that BNP councillors are seen in the temple of the
holohoax
whatever Simon Bennett choses to believe. Mr Bennett stated: "The
Holocaust
was an horrific event. We have had characters associated with the party
in
the past who have said it may not have happened but that is not my view."
I
hope Mr Bennett knows that one of those 'characters associated with the
BNP
in the past' is, I presume from reading his articles in many Nationalist
magazines I have, his party leader (or is that 'chairman') Mr Nick
Griffin.
Is this the price British Nationalists have to pay for five victories
(out
of 20,000 plus councillors in the UK) in fluke elections or by-elections.

Remember, turnouts are always larger in by-elections and the fact that,
due
to ward boundary changes every Burnley councillor was up for re-election
and every voter had three votes. Derek Beackon was elected as a BNP
councillor in 1993 and he didn't grovel to the spawn of Satan for the
sake
of a few extra votes. I've seen it all before, I've been involved in the
struggle 25 years now and the terms 'crest of a wave', 'built on sand'
and
'built up, knocked down' come to mind. Oh, and I nearly forgot - 'system
pressure valve'. It's better to die on your feet than to live the rest of

your life on your knees.

[Ed: we also had this through from a Burnley resident, so the wreath
story
is clearly true]:

BNP were in attendance at a Holocaust memorial event here the other day
to
show their sympathy for the victims of the concentration camps, the anl
scum
kicked up a fuss, but kosher councillor Grogan was adamant 'it' happened
and
that they weren't holocaust unbelievers. Bennett on the other hand tried
to
'sit on the fence' by saying that some in the Party didn't believe it
happened - whilst most did including himself .

Memorial row over BNP wreath tribute

A MEMORIAL service for victims of the Holocaust was at the centre of a
row
today after a wreath laid by British National Party councillors was
removed. Almost 30 people, including several councillors and a Second
World
War Holocaust survivor, have signed an open letter protesting at the
attendance of two of the town's BNP representatives at the event in
Burnley's Peace Garden, in Parker Lane. The group claim they were
"shocked
and horrified" when Terry Grogan and Carole Hughes turned up. But Burnley

BNP spokesperson Simon Bennett today said the removal of the wreath was
in
"poor taste". He said the party was planning to leave a new tribute at
the
site.

Mr Bennett said: "Terry and Carole were asked by people in their wards to

attend and did so to pay their respects. It is a shame that the people
who
have signed this letter are trying to make political capital out of the
event. That, and the fact that our wreath has been removed from the Peace

Garden, is in very poor taste. "The Holocaust was an horrific event. We
have had characters associated with the party in the past who have said
it
may not have happened but that is not my view." The BNP councillors, who
represent Gannow and Lowerhouse and Rosegrove, joined other civic
dignitaries as well as Holocaust survivors, police and fire at the
service
on Sunday and laid a wreath of white lilies. Schoolchildren and members
of
the Burnley Sea Cadet Corps were also present. The open letter, signed by

leader of the council Stuart Caddy, said: "We the undersigned are shocked

and horrified at the insult made by the British National Party Burnley
councillors to the memory of the six million Jews and five million others

murdered by the Nazis under Hitler's Germany. "Holocaust Memorial Day is
about remembering this darkest period in our history and saying "never
again" to the horrors." It added: "Hitler scapegoated Jewish people and
today the BNP blame asylum seekers, black and Asian people for the
problems
that exist in our society.

Coun Paul Moore said: "This is an insult to the memory of the people who
suffered and died.". Coun Thornber added: "I have handed in an open
letter
signed by local councillors, members of the public and a holocaust
survivor." Sunday's ceremony was one of hundreds held across Europe,
including Blackburn, to remember the tragedy of the people who died
during
the holocaust and to re-affirm their commitment to a firm and just
society.
After readings by Burnley's Mayor, councillor Gordon Birtwistle, the
town's
MP, Peter Pike and representatives of the Christian and Muslim faiths,
wreaths were laid.
