Good day BNP and a good day also to those who also support the British National Party.  Time to give you an update on what is happening on this site.  Of course many activists are not going to be reading this until this evening as I know from our sources across the Country that BNP Teams have been in action across the Country over the weekend, which is great news.  They have been leafleting, filming, manning stalls and gathering names in support of the BNP's Campaign to Bring Our Boys Home and today they have work. Proud of them all.

Well first the bad news or good news depending on your views on this site.  This site will shortly be closing down.  Now when I say closing down, it will not be vanishing, it will just be locked and left as an archive site where people will be free to search it for information and to take away articles - no permission required, just take what you like.  I will ensure that payments are made to the hosting company to ensure it is kept open for a few more years yet.

So why am I closing down a successful site?  Well basically because the name Green Arrow (in my opinion) has started to overshadow the message it was intended to promote which is of course the truth that is spoken by the British National Party.  To me The Party will always come first and so the Green Arrow must be allowed to fade away. 

But believing that there is always a place for a truly dynamic patriotic site in British Nationalism, I along with a team of others have been working on creating a replacement site called The British Resistance which will be officially opened officially this coming Wednesday.  In fact it is open now but work is still continuing on it.

The main difference to the new site is that it will not be a sort of One Man Band effort but rather a confederation of fellow British Nationalists united in their desire to play their part in the taking back of Our Country.  Will it work?  I believe so.

For the time being I am The Editor of the new site and will remain so until after the Welsh Assembly Elections when I hope to hand the job over to someone who can give 24/7 to the site.   It is a big job to take on and not always a pleasant one.

I have to be fast as I have a lot of travelling to do today.  I have the sad duty of attending the funeral of a long time activist and then a lot more travelling so comments will not be moderated until later this evening.

The new site will go live on Wednesday morning and this site will then be locked for registration and comments.

Now you all know or at least regular readers will, of the generosity with donations to this site to keep it running and to support various projects, buy equipment, software licences and a host of other expenses.  Most of your money I have spend wisely and with great effect for our cause but occasionally I dropped the ball and we did not get full value for your money.  As an example consider my commissioning of the IPod app just weeks before we close this site.  For this I am sorry but I assure you I have learned the lesson.

As you see the sites status is Red, there has been considerable outlay in setting up the new site and there is still much to be paid for - I will not bore you with all the details but will do when I have more time. 

The Editor, whose job it is to raise funds for the site and ensure its contituation has a big responsibility and too many times I have funded outside projects to the detriment of the sites we look after for the British People.  This kind of support will end for the foreseeable future, until we are again in a position to assist worthy BNP causes and individuals. 

One of the reasons, I am stepping down in May is because, quite frankly, I am burnt out with the responsibility of finding the funds to keep operating - it not in my nature to ask for help but again I must ask you to donate to the Green Arrow or rather the British Resistance.  If you feel that the British Resistance has a part to play in the Battle for Britain then please donate what you can.  In the great scheme of things the amount required is fairly small.

Moving on quickly, some people have suggested that the open display of support for the British National Party and their elected chairman, Nick Griffin is too overt and that we should perhaps drop the words BNP from our banners and remove the new Donate to the BNP link on the new British Resistance site.  Their suggestion is that we gain support from new readers and point to the BNP in a more subtle manner and I can see their logic.

However, I created the Green Arrow site(s) and the new British Resistance site for the sole purpose of supporting the BNP and so will not be changing anything.  This site will not strike its colours and in fact has Nailed them to the Mast.  For those who have a problem with this.  Sorry but that is the way it is.  If you want a broad based British Resistance site then go create your own sites and I am done with even debating it.

Another message to those who harp on about lack of "Freedom of Speech" in the comments and my refusal to allow debate that is critical of the Party and their elected chairman, I say this.  There are enough sites attacking the BNP and their chairman.  If you want to criticise the party then go there.  Read the label on the tin.

So if you think the British Resistance has a role to play in supporting the British National Party then please help keep it alive because at the moment it is on life support.  Thank you to all who have helped get us to where we are today.
