BNP reported to be in equity talks with Qatar

The Slog has the latest on BNP Paribas, linked here. A quote:

The reality is that an hour ago, news that Qatar is in talks with BNP Paribas on taking a stake in the troubled bank was confirmed - and a cash for equity swap would not be on the table if the bank's affairs were hunky-dory. This has echoes of Barclays' dash for capital (in order to avoid a Government bailout) in 2008.

Cameron's Conservative on Question Time tonight - more authoritarian than Griffin's BNP?

I have posted on my sister blog 'Teetering Tories' linked here, an extraordinary outburst by the editor of the 'Conservative Home' blog against the lack of consideration of: Merit, Democracy, Social Justice, Transparency, Localism and Courtesy, in the selection process for new Conservative candidates in Cameron's Conservative Party. It appears tonight's Question Time programme, which has been the subject of much froth of late, due to the appearence of BNP leader Nick Griffin MEP, has been recorded before the news of the latest Tory tyrannical centralism would have reached the audience or the programme's presenter - pity in a way - as it could have swung the view ( or viewer ) as to the direction from which the greater danger to Britain presently appears to come - namely the established Lab/Con/Lib conspiracy.

Treasures from the threads - Number thirty-five

A comment to an article on whether or not the BNP leader should be invited to Question Time caught my eye and is quoted here. After watching the performance of the sluglike Home Secretary yesterday evening (on the Sunday evening repeat of the previous programme) unable to even offer an apology for his automatic claiming for food costs while at his second home, and bearing in mind the clearly criminal activities of his immediate predecessor, this is particularly pertinent:

Martin Ivens wrote: 'On Question Time and elsewhere I hope essential British decency will also triumph' Are you referring to that decency that the voters granted to MPs, only to find them lining their pockets on the back of it? Or is it the decency that received a kick in the teeth when the disgraced Michael Martin was lowered (sic) to the House of Lords? Or the decency that was mocked when the terrorist Magee was invited to the House of Commons, the very institution he tried to obliterate? Or the decency of the Chief Constable whose force's inheirent lack of decency drove Fiona Pilkington to despair and terrible death? Get a grip, Martin Ivers, I and many like me (middle class, leafy suburb) are tired of being at the front of the queue paying (too many) taxes whilst magically relegated to the rear when it comes to benefiting from them. I am sick to death of the ping-pong politics of a Tory or Labour government - I want change. I want policies that benefit the many; I do not dislike foreigners, blacks or Asians but I do not wish to live amongst hordes of them; I do not want multi-culturalism - what benefit has that brought this country, can you answer me that? I want criminals locked up, so they are not burgling my house, raping my wife, molesting my children, stealing my car or making the lives of the Pilkingtons of this country utterly miserable. The list goes on; if the likes of you don't want the BNP to thrive then the likes of the spiv Mendelson, Prudence Brown, Shifty Blair and Del Boy Dave Cameron had better offer an acceptable alternative, otherwise, if the the BNP can provide the solutions I seek, I'll vote for them, and to hell with your brand of decency.

October 18, 2009 10:14 AM BST "Essential British decency"is mentioned in the subject of the article, what a farce to even refer to such a relic of the past, long forgotten with the existing British establishment!

BNP get 23.3% of vote in Manchester Council Ward By-election.

UK Politics is changing! The results from yesterday's ward by-election were as follows: MANCHESTER Council Moston ward Thursday 9th April 2009 Rita Tavernor (Labour) 1,353 Derek Adams (British National Party) 815 Timothy Hartley (Liberal-Democrat) 696 Phil Donohue (Conservative) 558 Karl Wardlaw (Green Party) 74 BNP Percentage 23.3% Amazing that there are so many voters still prepared to vote Labour - the publicly paid dependents of the Government no doubt! The image above taken from the EU Referendum Blog web page is clearly working:

Crisis Mounts - 3,152 applicants for 52 Jobs -BNP Rise

The Government, the Conservative Opposition, their Mainstream Media Lackeys, the Members of Parliament, the Members of the European Parliament, Councils up and down the country, complicit troughing Civil Servants - NONE OF THESE can much longer keep the lid on their wilful destruction of the nation's economy and system of society. The Observer reports on the evidence in the employment area which may be read in gruesome detail from here. One shocking statistic from the Isle of Wight is in this postings headline, others from the article follow: There are just 4,275 vacancies across the 12 inner London boroughs, against almost 71,000 unemployment benefit claimants. Hackney, in east London, has 37 claimants for every new job. When Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire held a recruitment day recently to hire 150 staff, it attracted a crowd of up to 3,000 people. Hackney, in east London, has 37 claimants for every new job. Again to the deep shame of the British media, once renowned for its fearless and deep analysis of political trends and independence from political control, it is left to Al Jazeera this Sunday morning to report on one absolute certain consequence of the sabotage of the nation by the establishment - the rise of the BNP, read their report from Newark on Staythorpe from here. (The BBC did include an item on an attack on the BNP in their web coverage yesterday, read here)

Required reading for followers of UK politics

The reports of the illegal database on construction workers broken by the BBC this morning (web report linked here), is very disturbing coming on top of the recent protests at the Total Lindsey Refinery and the ongoing disputes at Staythorpe and the Isle of Grain. There is considerable confusion in the minds of politicians as to the nature of the threat this June from the BNP, a good example is this item in Independent Minds from Labour supporting Mark Seddon. The Unions are losing touch with their membership in the dispute over the impact of the EU Posted Worker Directive in this country. Read this report from the Socialist Party on the 24th February protest at Staythorpe, linked here. Whether one believes the BNP is Nazi and Far Right as some on the left of politics choose to tag it, or Far Left as its economic policies seem to indicate, it is filling a vacuum deliberately being created by a non-functioning political process and complete absence of any realistic debate within the mass-circulation media. It is almost as if the cross-party ruling establishment is waiting for an excuse to activate the tyrannical Civil Contingencies Act.
