Former British Nationalist Party activist, turned anti-fascist campaigner, Matthew Collins, Director of Searchlight’s Operation Wedge, has revealed the inside truth about the BNP’s plans for apartheid in Britain, and how to defeat the far right.
He was interviewed by human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, on his weekly TV programme, Talking With Tatchell at the weekend.
The neo-Nazi British National Party is fighting a record number of seats in the May 3 local, Scottish and Welsh elections – over 800 seats in total. It is aiming to double its number of councillors.
Mr. Collins reveals that the BNP’s makeover as an ostensibly respectable British patriotic party is a con.
The BNP may have discarded its ‘bovver boot’ image in favour of slick city suits, and toned down its street thuggery, but behind the smiling face of its leader Nick Griffin lurks a hateful Islamophobia, racism and homophobia, Mr. Tatchell said.
The BNP is a menace to democracy and to minority communities; posing a particular threat to the security of Black, Asian, Jewish, Muslim and gay people, he suggested.
Mr. Collins explained the BNP’s strategy: it preys on deprived white working class communities; exploiting and manipulating their grievances – often fabricating claims of preferential treatment for immigrants and asylum seekers, in order to stir up a white racist backlash that it can then take advantage of.
The key to defeating the BNP is youth education in diversity and tolerance, the promotion of multicultural projects where people of all races work together to benefit all sections of the community, and government action to address the neglect and deprivation that prompts some alienated white working class people to turn to the far right, the programme suggested.
Mr. Collins also warns that in order to win broader electoral appeal the BNP has, at least publicly, dumped its more extreme policies, such as the repatriation of non-white people.
Now, he revealed, it has a more subtle, covert strategy to drive black people out of Britain – a secret plan for a regime of de facto apartheid, whereby non-white people will face gradually ever-increasing restrictions, exclusions and deprivations.
The BNP’s aim, Mr. Collins suggested, is to make life in Britain so unbearable for black people that they will want to return to the countries from which their forebears migrated. http://www.ukgaynews.org.uk/Archive/07/April/3001.htm

BNPs Secret Plan for ‘Apartheid’ in UK
April 30, 2007BNP Candidate Pleads Innocence
April 30, 2007
BNP Candidate Pleads Innocence-We dont believe him
A MIDLAND BNP candidate who likes to dress up as a German trooper to re-enact World War Two battles, has denied having any sympathy with Adolf Hitler or the Nazis.
Double glazing boss Karl Newman, aged 48, who is standing as a BNP candidate for Redditch in Thursday’s local elections, collects and sells Nazi memorabilia on his website.
“If I thought there was any link between the BNP and Nazis, I would resign tomorrow,” said Mr Newman, who is standing in Redditch’s Greenlands ward.
“I don’t agree with what the Nazis did and the Holocaust was appalling. I used to take part in battle re-enactments but I haven’t done much of that lately. I have only been in the BNP for a year. I am not a racist. I have Jamaican and Asian friends and a Polish employee.”
Mr Newman, who runs Redditch-based Mount Pleasant Windows Ltd, has now removed several photographs bearing swastikas from his website and erased Nazi memorabilia.
But a spokesman for the group Unite Against Fascism, said: “Karl Newman’s Nazi obsession is sickening.”
And Jaqui Smith, Labour MP for Redditch, said: “Redditch people are decent and tolerant. I am shocked that someone seeking to be an elected representative celebrates the Nazis.”

Auty to face new probe
April 29, 2007
A BNP councillor who wrote a controversial song about Savile Town will face an investigation after all following a fresh complaint from Labour MP Shahid Malik.
Coun Colin Auty escaped censure from the councillors watchdog body the Standards Board for England after Malik took exception to his lyrics.
Dewsbury and Mirfield MP Malik complained that the lyrics which he claimed referred to drug dealers and the sexual grooming of 12-year-olds stirred up racial tensions.
However the Standards Board ruled that because Coun Auty, who performs in an Irish band called Red Claire, was not acting as a councillor at the time they could not intervene.
Coun Auty (Dewsbury East) hit back by giving a brief rendition of the song outside Maliks office in Daisy Hill, Dewsbury. Malik was furious and threatened to seek a change in the law to give the Standards Board more powers.
Now it has been revealed that Malik has made a fresh complaint claiming that Coun Autys antics intimidated members of his staff.
Coun Auty, who played a guitar, turned up with Dewsbury South BNP candidate Frank Atack, also a member of the group, and Burnley councillor Derek Dawson.
Coun Dawson filmed Coun Autys performance and the video was later added to a DVD which was made available on the BNP website.
Malik, who was not at his office, claimed to the Standards Board that Coun Dawson went inside the building to film.
Staff were intimidated, particularly two who lived in Savile Town and felt they were being targeted.
According to the Standards Board decision notice, one man locked the door in fear of his safety and a Muslim woman ran from the main office and hid in a back room. Police were informed.
The Standards Board said Coun Auty had failed to comply with a number of areas of the Code of Conduct and the matter would be investigated by the ethical standards officer. Coun Dawson faces the same allegations.
Coun Auty said he had been on the other side of the road and Coun Dawson had not set foot inside Maliks office. All they saw were silhouettes of people inside.
It was just meant as a poke in the eye for him, said Coun Auty.
He has kept this rolling along because he wants to make himself a victim.
It may have been a bit foolish but then I am a bit cavalier. It is the first time I have been accused of intimidating anyone.
All three of us are no bigger than Lester Piggott.

EXCLUSIVE: BNP CANDIDATE’S NAZI SHAME
April 29, 2007A BRITISH National Party activist who claims he is a respectable businessman is really a Nazi fanatic who dresses in German uniform and flies a swastika flag.
Window firm boss Karl Newman, 47, a candidate for the far-right BNP in Thursday’s local elections, denies he is a racist or Nazi sympathiser in campaign leaflets.
But, in fact, he dresses in World War Two Wehrmacht uniforms and has a sick fascination with Hitler.
He has spent years restoring two wartime troop carriers built by Jewish concentration camp labour.
One has a giant swastika on the bonnet and he flies another of the Nazi flags from the back. Newman even takes out six-year-old son William in the vehicle at weekends.
Pictures on his website show him in Nazi uniform. In one a cardboard cut-out of Hitler is driving one of the vehicles, called Kubelwagens.
Confronted by the Sunday Mirror, he said: “I am aware they were built by slave labour – but I can’t do anything about that.”
Newman, standing in Greenlands ward of Redditch Council in the West Midlands, added: “OK – so the BNP is only for white people, but that does not mean I am a racist.” Claiming to be a Christian, he said his Nazi obsession was “just fun”.
Labour councillor Mark Shurmer said: “These pictures are disgusting.”

Fraudster stands as BNP candidate
April 29, 2007Thanks to Searchlight
AS IF THE BNP did not have enough councillors with criminal convictions, one of the partys candidates in Barnslev South Yorkshire, turns out to be a disgraced former magistrate with a conviction for fraud.
Nick Parker, who is contesting Dodworth ward, was fined £450 by Wakefield magistrates for forging a document from a financial firm which stated an insurance policy was worth less than its true value.
The matter came to light during an acrimonious divorce. As a result of the conviction the Department of Constitutional Affairs threw him off the bench.
Parker was an independent councillor in Dodworth at the time of his conviction but stood down from the Barnslev Independent Group shortly afterwards, blaming town hall political games for his resignation, and did not defend his seat in 2006.
He told the Barnsley Chronicle that he agrees with every single part of the BNP manifesto, adding: “My views haven’t changed in many a year. There wasn’t a party that could agree with in Barnsley, but then the BNP came along.”
No doubt the BNP welcomed this fraudster with open arms.
Plaid Cymru to hang if BNP win power
April 27, 2007Taken from http://ted-jones.blogspot.com/
If there was ever a clearer sign of the psychotic nature of the BNP, link to the website below.
http://isupporttheresistance.blogspot.com/2007/04/swansea-city-enhanced-by-immigrants.html
What this BNP activist is effectively saying is that if they ever win power they will re-introduce capital punishment and execute those who do not share their fascist bigotry.
I was fortunate enough to meet Plaid star Adam Price MP the other day; he said if I can remember correctly:
“Young men from the South Wales Valleys fought and died against fascism in Spain and the Second World War. We have to remember what these people stand for and the lessons of history.”
I am personally amazed that fascism is being given such generous coverage during this campaign. The Glamorgan Gazette in its wisdom even provided Nick Griffin with a full profile, whilst refusing at any point to print hardly any legitimate local political stories by Plaid (despite countless press notices by local candidates), the official opposition in the Assembly. That paper and Celtic Press should be ashamed of themselves. The BNP have been given air time on radio programmes and even a party election broadcast. All this just legitimises the fascist movement.
I don’t believe that democratic parties should share a political platform with these people. I never refer to fascist replies on this blog. How can you debate sensibly with people who are so fundamentally warped in their thinking?
Journalists tell me that they have a duty to report everything no matter how uncomfortable, and that all political movements have a right to freedom of speech. I vehemently disagree; any political movement which fundamentally disagrees with the values of a democratic society should be exempt from the benefits afforded by democracy to political movements.
The threat to execute members of Plaid Cymru in a BNP blog is not an idle threat. This is what these people will do if they assume power. Whilst some members of the London political class might snigger at such a prospect – this is a very serious threat which all democratic political parties need to unite to combat and to build a consensus to ensure that fascism has no place in Wales.
Please don’t vote for these Toytown Nazis
April 27, 2007Finally Richard Littlejohn talks some sense!!
This taken from his Daily Mail column Friday 27th April 2007
While we’re talking rubbish, a couple of weeks ago I asked where were the candidates in the local elections who would promise to keep or reinstate weekly collections.
If you look down the list in the Mail of those councils who have scrapped them, all three main parties are guilty.
Since our campaign started, it has become the big election issue.
A number of people have written to tell me that the BNP is pledged to empty the bins every week.
For quite a while, I have been concerned that decent people are contemplating voting BNP because they think that Labour, the Tories and the LibDems are all as bad as each other.
This column doesn’t go in for endorsing any party. It’s up to you how you cast your vote. But I would implore you not to vote for the BNP.
They may have been to Man at C&A, but underneath they’re still the same unpleasant bunch of racist, anti-Semitic skinheads they’ve always been.
If you want to protest, try UKIP or the English Democrats (But not for the fat slug Richard Langford in Brighouse K.U. ) or the Monster Raving Loony Party, for that matter. Anyone but this bunch of disgusting Toytown Nazis.
Democracy encompasses the right not to vote. That’s also a protest against the system.
I don’t care if the BNP promise to empty the dustbins twice a day.
Frankly, I’d rather put up with an overflowing wheelie bin, full of six-month old waste, crawling with rats.
It’s bad enough having vermin in our rubbish without having them infest the Town Hall, too.

Message for K.T
April 26, 2007How do you solve a problem like Steve Cass?
April 26, 2007Nuke Iran,Pakistan and China
Occupy Middle East Oilfields
Recolonize Africa and eliminate urban blacks
Expel all aliens in white countries
End of problems.
The above may sound like the ramblings of a lunatic.
They are however the recently aired views on the internet of Steve Cass
BNP candidate for Heckmondwike.
The following is taken from our friends at “Remember Stalingrad”
God knows, the BNP is not a party of nutters…
Unless of course you’re a candidate for them.
Forget the already caught Pendle nutcases with rice and rocket launchers etc.
Here at Remember Stalingrad we are always on the outlook for some fresh meat.
So who better than Steve Cass,who has lived in North Kirklees ever since he “moved here” ?
The former taxi driver and postman, is standing in Heckmondwike,West Yorkshire offering his own “solution.” (God knows how final that will be !)
His son Nick, is Regional Organiser for the BNP and a full-time employee of the party, so perhaps Steve has got a little bit ahead of himself in the run-up to the local elections?
Otherwise, we can only suggest Nick has told his father of the BNP’s real attitude towards non-BNP voters?
The comments made about “nuking” Pakistan etc, are not his work from a few years ago, before the BNP declared it had become sweeter and nicer than apple pie.
Mr Cass made those comments on an internet discussion board last month,
28th March 2007 to be exact, in Usenet Group, ‘UK Politics.misc’
And who says that the BNP cannot have reasoned debate and discussion?
Not only is the header for this piece based on one of his many dreadful internet postings
(Are you saying he’s a piss head-Ed,) but good old Steve has even better things to say about the state of our nation.
Our favourite here at the Stalingrad Brownhouse is the one where he says his Grand father
“…served in France, Holland, and Germany during WWII…. he says how much better off Britain and Europe would be now had Hitler been victorious.”
That was years ago, well erm, actually, October 2006.
Well, Grand Fathers’ normally do say strange things, but rarely are they repeated verbatim. Unless you’re quoting an Adolf type character that you, like the rest of the BNP, admire…..
But that’s not all, prospective councillor Cass wants more for his local people:
“Expel all aliens in white Countries “
None of these views has been made apparent in any BNP literature regarding their policies! Is Cass lying to the electorate about what he really believes? I could not find any of what he does apparently believe, in his election address.
Perhaps you could ask him personally: 07958 609086
Ask for the final solution
BNP – the stupid and the sinister
April 26, 2007Betraying in every respect the low calibre of this year’s crop of BNP local election candidates, it was with a good deal of merriment that we read of Windsor candidate Matt Tait’s assertion to his local newspaper that: “We should not allow mass immigration, especially in the Thames area, because the more immigrants there are, the less drinking water there will be.” .
Immigrant-induced droughts aside, the fact that the likes of Matt Tait (who was too coy to be photographed by his local paper) are being touted as credible election candidates by the BNP shows just how deeply the racist party is scraping the barrel.
Did I say “racist”? Not according to Hastings BNP’s Nick Prince: “We are not a far-right party and we are not racist.”
Mr Prince is either delightfully deluded, or telling porkies. He might like to have a word with former colleague Sharon Ebanks to find out what the BNP thinks of people who aren’t quite “white” enough, especially when it finds them in its own ranks. It’s not a pretty story.
The BNP can always be relied upon to produce far more than its fair share of jokers – which is just as well, because it can also be relied upon to produce far more than its fair share of characters who definitely aren’t jokers.
One such is Simon Charles Smith, sitting BNP councillor for Great Bridge ward of Sandwell council.
Councillor Smith is more like your true BNP man – one thing in public, and quite another in private.
In his election campaign Smith perhaps neglected to tell his prospective voters of his obsession with Holocaust Denial, or, for their delectation, to compare Adolf Hitler with Jesus Christ, and was still less likely to admit, “I want White Denmark to beat the mongrel ‘England’ [football] team…” We won’t mention his apparent belief in UFOs or suggestions of starting a new religion.
Smith posted all this and more on the Nazi Stormfront website, hiding behind the nom-de-plume “Steve Freedom”. Not being quite as bright as he believes himself to be, “Steve Freedom” left so many clues as to his true identity on Stormfront that it was only a matter of time before he was outed as Cllr. Simon Smith, and the people at Ministry of Truth were happy to perform that service.
Cllr. Simon Smith could never tell his constituents – that’s Joe and Josephine Public to him-: “The reason why Blacks disproportionately don’t vote is that the frontal part of the brain associated with postponing immediate gratification is not so well developed as in other races.”
But “Steve Freedom” could and did say that. Which isn’t so very far on the stupidity scale from saying that hordes of immigrants are about to drink the Thames Valley dry or a failure to notice that there aren’t many black people in the BNP.
Thus far Cllr. Smith comes over as something of a chump, but behind the standard-issue idiocy lies something more sinister.
On Stormfront Smith posts:
I’d certainly agree with the notion that “holocaust denial”… should be avoided amongst Joseph and Josephine Public.. but then again anything that challenges the average attention span should be as well… One idea forming in my mind lately is think and study deeply but communicate superficially, touching on what sales people call the “hot spots”…
Which suggests, as Ministry of Truth notes, no very great admiration on the part of Smith for the people (“sheeple”) who voted for him.
He also maintains: “The ‘Holocaust’ is the biggest lie of all time….” (a stock phrase amongst neo-Nazis) put about by “The Globalist Elite” – Jews, to you and me.
Cllr. Smith is never explicit in telling us what his real ideology is, unless we can read something into his remark: “As you say we are ‘Nazis’ whatever….” But maybe Cllr. Smith is merely communicating superficially with his like-minded comrades on Stormfront, where admissions of swastika admiration aren’t really necessary.
So there we are – from the stupid to the sinister in one easy lesson: a racist BNP candidate presumably hoarding all the bottled water he can lay his hands on, a BNP organiser who apparently doesn’t believe his racist party is racist, and a Holocaust-denying racist BNP councillor who seems to have made a study of the brains of black people relative to ethnic voting patterns.
Anybody for a big blue pill?
