Roger Phillips with a large cheque

A successful out-of-court settlement with the Trinity Group of newspapers for copyright infringement contributed a “substantial amount” towards the magnificent £2169 raised at the last British National Party meeting in Swansea.

The cheque was presented by well-known Welsh super activist Roger Phillips, who has already won world fame as the presenter of the “Wembley Colonisation” YouTube hit video.

Mr Phillips said that the money had been paid as settlement of a breach of copyright issue where a local BNP photograph had been used in a Trinity newspaper article. Mr Phillips’ announcement was met with rapturous applause.

The main fund raising event was held by Wales’s regional organiser Brian Mahoney, to whom credit must go for raising the total amount from the packed meeting.

Guest speaker for the evening was John Salvage from Black Country BNP. In honour of Mr Salvage’s appearance, several St George flags were hung around the room.

In addition to the main speaker, two local speakers, Jennie Noble and Clive Bennett, provided the meeting with fascinating talks on wind farms and the importance of having hope in the future respectively.

Mr Bennett also paid tribute to the venue host Christine for use of the room and the buffet, and to Sue who organised the highly successful raffle.

“Swansea will play host to another fundraising meeting next month,” Mr Bennett said. “If you are in the area and interested in taking part or joining in, then get in touch with your local organiser or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Eddy Butler BNP National Organiser

Elements in the media are attempting to set up a ‘debate’ between members of ethnic minorities who may potentially wish to join the BNP and members of the Party who are opposed to the new  Constitutional change voted on at the EGM.

Please inform all members in your area that no member is permitted to engage in such a debate. The British National Party conducted its own debate in private on Sunday. Anyone who wished to participate in this debate had every opportunity to do so at the appropriate time and in the appropriate location. We do
not wish to be involved in a media led circus over the matter.

Accordingly, it will be regarded as a very serious disciplinary matter for any member to ignore this instruction and to engage in unauthorised debates and discussions with the media over this issue.

National Organiser

The Rev West led the prayers for a good outcome

Our reporter Corsham Crusader who is at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the British National Party to decide changes to the Party's constitution informs us of the following.

Arriving at the railway station they were directed to the venue where he estimated the number of members who had turned up to vote being around the 400 mark with more arriving.

The BNP National Organiser Mr Eddy Butler opened the meeting at 1215.   He was followed by the Reverend West who led the prayers for a good outcome to the coming vote.

The chairman of the British National Party then spoke for one hour about the current situation and then asked if there were any opposers and would they please raise their hands.  Only two people dissented and they were asked if they would like to leave the room to discuss the subject.  The opposers stated that because of their few numbers that it was pointless and declined the invitation.

Mr Griffin then spoke for a further hour before opening the floor to questions.  In total 9 members asked questions that were answered by the chairman to the apparent satisfaction of the questioners.

The EGM then broke for a lunch.

Further news will follow.

Peter Tierney was arrested on a trumped up assault charge relating to the “UAF attacking us” on St Georges day last year April 23rd 2009 during a Liverpool BNP Day of Action.

The Crown Court trial has been put back to Monday March 15th, listed for hearing. As such the day of support on Monday February 15th is now cancelled and will be held on or around Monday March 15th.

We only found out at 5.30pm yesterday evening ourselves.

Peter Squire, Liverpool BNP Organiser.
