Does British Racial Nationalism Have Any Friends in the Establishment?

In the months since the historic Brexit vote on June 23rd 2016 there have been a surprisingly high number of establishment figures that have come out as being in favour of our withdrawal from the so-called "European Union". People such as Lord Lawson, Andrew Neill, Michael Caine and John Cleese, as well as many Tory and Labour MPs. In this thought-provoking post, Will Wright discusses whether this is a trend that is likely to grow as the British public gradually wakes up to the nightmare they are being sleep-walked into and start to do something about it.

Do we have friends in high places?

Does British nationalism have any friends in our county’s establishment? This might seem a strange question to ask. Some nationalists might have taken it for granted that everyone in the establishment and the political class is beyond redemption. Does it matter?

When a country has a revolution, or a fundamental change of government, many people recognise that one ruling group of people has been replaced by another. But, that’s not the full story. The country itself is still much the same. The civil service, the police and the military are mostly the same people as before.

Some senior people in those institutions find it fairly easy to go from supporting the old regime to supporting the new one. Some journalists, unless they are very ideologically committed, might carry on much as before. Revolutionary regimes tend to purge those they regard as ideological enemies, just as the previous order would purge those it considered dangerous revolutionaries – but most of the people in the country are the same people in the same roles.

Governments change when a new party wins an election, or in some countries, when there is a violent revolution. But something happens before that point. Something that is subtler. Some people who are very much part of the establishment, politicians, judges, senior civil servants and policemen and military leaders, gradually change their allegiances from the old order to the new.

It is this change before a revolution happens that enables it to happen. All new regimes had supporters in the old order. This seems to have been true of the French Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolution and the Nazi takeover in Germany.

There might be some in the British establishment who have always been patriotic and broadly in agreement with us. Such people might have been browbeaten into silence, at the moment, waiting for a patriotic mass movement to emerge. After all, shouldn’t we expect the military to be nationalistic? Shouldn’t we expect judges and policemen to believe in law and order? Shouldn’t we expect some common ground with journalists and politicians ‘on the right’?

When a movement is very certain about what it wants to achieve and very active and determined about achieving it, then something magical happens. The movement becomes very charismatic. The magnetic pull of the movement becomes ever greater and more and more people are attracted. Of course, people in establishment circles are not immune from this. Some of them prepare to make peace with a new regime and get ready to serve it.

So, does British racial nationalism have any supporters in the establishment? At the moment this is not at all clear. The conditions are not right to bring about open support – there is no charismatic mass movement. Anyone who declared any kind of support for nationalism would be purged.

During the nineteen-seventies, the National Front was numerically small compared to the established parties and those of the far-left. But, through a spirit of activism, lead by National Activities Organiser, Martin Webster, it was becoming charismatic. Some members of established parties defected to the NF. Many policemen, especially London policemen, supported the NF. So, too did prison warders and many London postal workers.

John Tyndall boasted, in Spearhead magazine, that the establishment would be frightened if it knew of the strength of support among those groups. Tyndall was probably too quick to mention this. The establishment did notice – and took steps to reverse the trend. The military, the police and the prison service all now ban nationalists from joining. In all the big public service trade unions, the far-left are in charge. They join the management in driving out nationalists.

All big public organisations have ‘Equality and Diversity’ courses for their employees. The unions state, “no platform for fascists and racists”.

So, is all lost? No.

Nationalists need to have a very clear vision of the future that we are going to achieve – long-term and well as short-term. There seems to be something mystical about thinking very long-term. Once a body of people has a vision they must be very active in pursuit of that goal. Then the charisma and magnetic pull takes over. People are attracted to conviction politicians – they can tell when someone is authentic. Once a mass movement is born, then the conditions are in place for friends in high places to declare themselves.

Most people pay lip-service to ‘Equality and Diversity’ but privately regard it as a form of brainwashing. The unions are in terminal decline. Not many people join or support them anymore. The old political parties have become alienated from voters – and alienated from their own rank-and-file members.

Banning nationalists from certain professions will be counterproductive in the long run. This practice might even be challenged in the courts if someone declared themselves to be a nationalist and then was refused a job. The establishment’s equality and diversity legislation can be used against it.

We need someone with vision to build the mass movement.

Some thoughts on the State of British Nationalism

Will Wright gives his thoughts on the current state of British Nationalism. This is, of necessity, a brief review, but perhaps it will stimulate thought and discussion via the Comments section below.

It is very clear that none of the three main parties will pursue policies to advance our survival as a nation, let alone our success. The British people need a political party dedicated to promoting their interests. Such a party needs to be racial-nationalist in character, democratic and with a proper legal constitution. At the moment I cannot see anything that fits the bill. But let us take a look at some of the groups and dead ends out there.

United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) – has aimed for a level of professionalism on a par with the Establishment parties. It appears to have a constitution and a rule book and a ruling executive. It appears that Nigel Farage would have liked to have abolished the executive and have an even more personal leadership based on his own personality and power. UKIP did well to win most of the British seats in the EU Parliament. It also won about four million votes, which pressured Prime Minister, David Cameron into holding an In/Out referendum on EU membership.

But UKIP is far too worried about respectability and not being seen as a ‘far-right’ or racialist party. I believe that this timidity has limited its potential and more or less consigned it to being just another Establishment party. It has gone into decline after the EU referendum. It may have been used as a vehicle to draw support away from the BNP.

British National Party (BNP) – born of John Tyndall’s desire to have absolute control over any party that he led, it doesn’t have a proper democratic and legal constitution. It was stagnant for many years before Nick Griffin mounted a coup. It therefore did not even meet Tyndall’s needs. It started to grow and win local elections under Griffin. The political climate favoured its growth and the BNP worked hard to recruit people.

But Griffin squandered the opportunity to educate patriotic recruits and turn them into lifelong, ideological racial nationalists. Too many party people did not really know what they were fighting for, other than a vague notion that they were against political correctness. Griffin seemed to be too concerned about being seen to be respectable. He wanted a break with the past and that’s what the BNP got. For me, he broke the ideological link to previous nationalists going back to just after the Second World War. Many BNP members thought that their only enemy was Islamism.

Under Tyndall, the Party’s fault was a dictatorial leadership. Under Griffin this fault remained and he added a dilution of nationalist ideology to the problems.

English Defence League (EDL) – has many faults. If nationalists are going to win in Britain, then it needs to be done by a political party winning seats consistently and then winning power. But the EDL isn’t nationalist, or racialist, or even a political party. It was founded in Luton as a kind of crusade against Islamism. It sees its identity as ‘English’ rather than ‘British’ at a time when the continuance of the United Kingdom is under threat. On the surface, the EDL isn’t concerned about respectability. It attracts politically illiterate football supporters. They know something is wrong with the country and they want some kind of action. In the hands of a racial nationalist party they could be educated and turned into dedicated activists. Instead they hold disorderly street demonstrations and shout football terrace type chants. Oddly, the unrespectable leaders seem at pains to state that they are pro- Israel.

National Action – has been declared to be a terrorist group, by Home Secretary, Amber Rudd. This was because they applauded the assassination of the Searchlight/Hope Not Hate-supporting Labour MP, Jo Cox by a mentally unwell man. Masked men giving stiff right arm salutes is not the right path for nationalists. The Establishment is looking for any excuse to ban nationalist groups. Islamic terrorist supporters are crying out for ‘even-handedness’ – they want nationalist groups banned. It is idiocy to give the Government that excuse. In any case, terrorism cannot succeed. Only a mass movement and a political party can effect the necessary change to our country. NA is a dangerous dead end and authentic nationalists should avoid it like the plague.

Britain First – seems to have punched above its weight. This small group has a pair of very brave, very active leaders, Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen. Their skilled use of the internet to promote their activities has seen them get international attention. Provided they can recruit and educate nationalists, then they might have the beginning of a good nationalist party. They need to turn their publicity into election success. It may be that they are, like the BNP and the EDL, too focused on Islamism.

National Front – this is a well-meant attempt to resurrect the original party of the same name. This is a tiny party and some of its members are not old enough to remember the golden years of the nineteen seventies. At the time of writing, it is not making its presence felt on a big enough scale nationally. Has some good people, but not enough of them.

British Movement – this is supposed to be a revival of the original party of that name. In my opinion it is a complete waste of time and energy – a real dead end. It doesn’t fight elections or hold demonstrations. It is an inward-looking group of Hitler enthusiasts. Some of its people don’t even know much about Hitler. If you are an authentic British racial nationalist, then don’t waste your time with this group.

London Forum – is useful for getting nationalists together to hear speeches on various themes. The speeches can then be re-produced on You Tube for dissemination to a wider audience. Its success may be due to its being not party-aligned. If one party emerged as highly dominant on the nationalist scene, then that non-alignment ought to change. Everyone serious about success should then join that party – like what happened in 1967 with the National Front.

*****

Serious nationalists should consider how they are going to succeed. Here are some suggested guidelines.

1.       Know your ideology. Know national and international history. Read books by nationalists and, sometimes, our ideological enemies. Know what constitutes nationalist thinking – and what does not. But don’t be too keen to exclude people. Know what you are fighting for.

2.       Loyalty – be loyal to the Idea, the Cause. But be loyal to the movement, and importantly, be loyal to each other.

3.       Be brave. Physically and also psychologically. Nationalists will be assailed from all sides.

4.       Be self-disciplined.

5.       Don’t be overly bothered about respectability. But don’t go in the opposite direction and try to be politically extreme or sensationalist for its own sake.

6.       Recognise that our ability to persuade our fellow countrymen is the key to our success. Develop your skills as a persuader and a political propagandist. Read up on influence and persuasion techniques. Know your enemies’ arguments and hone your debating skills.

7.       Understand that winning a general election is the only way that a nationalist party can succeed in the UK. Shun any talk of infiltrating the Establishment parties or of armed revolts or terrorist activity.

8.       Unity. One big nationalist party may succeed – a myriad of tiny nationalist groups never will. Many of the groups mentioned have members that might make good members of a new reformed nationalist movement.

9.       Leadership. While we should reject dictatorship and personality cults, leadership is important to success. It comes in different forms and operates on different levels. There are organisers, speakers, writers, website-designers, administrators, fund-raisers and distributers of books and magazines.

 

“I Am A Racialist! And Proud!”

This post, from Will Wright, was originally posted in the Comments Box of an article published in the Telegraph Online, “Three in five Britons support a ‘hostile environment’, for illegal immigrants, poll shows”. It will probably have been taken down by the time you read this, so here is the full version.

A racialist is someone who believes in racial differences and separate racial development. This is someone who wants his own race to survive, thrive and prosper. Someone who is a racialist might, or might not, also be a racial supremacist. That is someone who believes his own race is inherently superior to other races and wants it to thrive on a global scale, if necessary, at the expense of other races. But being a racialist is about a love of your own people – not hatred of other peoples. No one can help being born of a particular race and it would be wrong to hate anyone because of this.

Any hatred should properly be directed towards the Establishment and the political class, rather than other races. The politicians have created a multi-racial nightmare. Some individual politicians are more deserving of blame than others.

‘Racism’ is a word promoted by the Politically Correct lobby in the United States. It is meant to imply hatred and criminality. It has been imported from America by the PC brigade here in the United Kingdom. Since the Seventies, it has gradually replaced the correct word, ‘racialism’. This was always the intention. Reject the import and always use the word ‘racialism’.

Racial Nationalists are people who love their own country and don’t want large numbers of foreigners to live permanently in their ancestral homeland. They particularly don’t want racial foreigners settling in their country.

Liberals and the Left try to intimidate anyone who speaks in favour of their own people’s interests by shouting ‘racist’. But unless large numbers of British people are prepared to say “I am a racialist”, rather than “I’m not racist, but…” then Britain will surely be destroyed. We need hundreds, then thousands then tens of thousands to declare “I am a racialist”. This as a prelude to millions voting into power a racial nationalist political party.

The National Front, in the Seventies, was such a party. It was destroyed by every dirty trick in the book.

  • The Establishment putting up the election deposit.
  • A massive campaign of violence by the far left.
  • Oppressive race laws designed to crush any dissent against mass non-white immigration.
  • Nationalists being driven out of jobs.
  • Infiltration by the state security services etc.

In the Nineties and the new millennium, the British National Party was a poor imitation of the National Front. It found that banks wouldn’t give it banking facilities and printers would not print its literature. It faced the same blanket hostility from broadcasters and newspapers that the Front had. It faced another threat too – UKIP.

UKIP offered a ‘safe’ haven for those who felt patriotic but were too afraid to declare, “I am a racialist”. UKIP people from Farage downwards were terrified of that magic, imported word ‘racist’. That is why they drove out Godfrey Bloom, Anne Marie Waters, Henry Bolton, Jo Marney, and others.

UKIP’s immigration policy of an ‘Australian points-based system’ is totally inadequate to save Britain as a white country. We need a complete halt to non-white immigration and a start made on a policy of phased repatriation of all non-whites.

Nigel Farage was asked what his greatest achievement was. I thought that he might have felt that helping to get Britain out of the EU was this. But no, he thought that stopping the ‘far-right’ was more important. Farage is a false messiah – just another judas goat.

So, let us make a start. I am a racialist. Now you write it. You will feel so much better – and you won’t ever again be intimidated by the American-imported word ‘racist’.

Our “Democracy” Under The Spotlight

Is Our Democracy The Real Thing?

Will Wright

Author's note: On the 10th May 2018, the Telegraph published an article by Fraser Nelson, the editor of the Spectator: “Ignore the doomsayers – across the world, democracy is in rude health”. As the online version of the Telegraph has a comments section at the end of many articles, I decided to add my contribution to the discussion.

I had previously written some thoughts on democracy and decided to post the whole of my article in the comment box. It was well received by a number of other readers. Here is my article in full.

 

In the old Soviet Union there was Peoples Democracy. At elections you could vote for a selection of candidates. Just one catch, they were all members of the Communist Party. Something similar has operated in all communist countries. Most British people don’t have too much difficulty in recognising this as a very limited choice and seeing Peoples Democracy as a sham.

Noam Chomsky wrote, “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.”

Not all regimes believe in democracy. There have been various military dictatorships in South America and Europe in the past. In post-colonial Africa, ‘one man, one vote – once!’ was too often the norm. Some Middle Eastern countries have despotic kings. The Nazis proved to be more honest than the communists in regard to democracy. Although they used elections to build support and come to power, Hitler was very open about his intention to destroy democracy once he had power.

Some countries have a limited form of democracy. The Afrikaner regime in South Africa had elections. But the Communist Party was outlawed. The effect was that many communists redefined themselves and fraudulently campaigned as ‘liberals’. Also, the majority black population was not thought fit to be allowed the vote.

In the United Kingdom we have genuine democracy. Or do we?

Sure, the UK is not a single-party state. We have a number of separate political parties. But how different are they? They all believe in internationalism. They all subscribe to the idea of global warming and accept that a multi-racial society is a desirable thing. Until recently, they all supported laissez-faire economics and global monopoly business. All the Establishment parties wanted continued membership of the European Union. None of them support a restoration of the death penalty for murder or the return of corporal punishment (the short, sharp shock that stopped many progressing in criminal careers). They have all allowed mass immigration. They have all neglected defence. This is consensus politics.

So then, isn’t our political system just a subtler, more sophisticated, even more deceitful version of People’s Democracy?

In the West, generally, isn’t it interesting that when an individual or party offers something genuinely different from other parties, then they are attacked from all parts of the existing political spectrum? Indeed, isn’t this the sure way of telling when a new person or party is genuinely different?

Writing in 1882, Friedrich Nietzche wrote, “Parliamentarianism, that is to say public permission to choose between five political opinions, flatters those many who like to appear independent and individual and like to fight for their opinions. In the last resort, however, it is a matter of indifference whether the herd is commanded an opinion or allowed five opinions. He who deviates from the five public opinions and steps aside always has the whole herd against him.”

In 1979 Margaret Thatcher was about to fight a general election and believed that she could come to power. She was concerned, however, about the National Front. That party had beaten the Liberals into fourth place in several parliamentary by-elections. The Front was standing candidates in over half the parliamentary seats. In theory, if it won enough votes it could have formed a government. Thatcher promised an end to immigration, effectively stealing the NF’s clothes.

But something more drastic happened. The Establishment put the election deposit up from £150 to £500. It was claimed that this would stop ‘frivolous candidates’, however, the real intention was to prevent the cash-strapped National Front from being able to afford to stand so many candidates.

In the Nineties and Noughties, the British National Party was finding it hard to get printing done. More importantly, it was being rejected by all the big banks. It is very hard to run a competitive, modern political party if you cannot print literature or operate a bank account. Interestingly, the far- left parties and the Green Party have never had this difficulty with big capitalist banks.

Both Labour and Conservative governments have enacted ever more repressive ‘race relations’ legislation. This effectively criminalises any dissent against their appalling immigration policies. Any party that wants to stop mass immigration and start repatriation on the ground of race is treading a legal minefield.

In the Seventies, a host of far-left parties and their front organisations physically attacked National Front meetings and marches. These were stewarded and robustly defended. But this didn’t stop left-wing mobs attacking the homes of NF members and beating up lone NF members if they found them.

If any of these things had happened to any other party the media would have been screaming to high heaven about a threat to democracy. Indeed, now that MPs are being subjected to a degree of hate, they are calling for special measures to ‘protect democracy’ (themselves).

As a British Nationalist, I readily recognise the truth in the quotes from Chomsky and Nietzche – in my view they are talking about related phenomena. The Establishment does allow lively debate on a limited part of the political spectrum. British Nationalism is not one of Nietzsche’s five permitted opinions and so has the whole herd against it.

My Conclusion: British Democracy is not what it seems to the casual observer. At best it is a limited democracy. But if your views are out of favour with the establishment then you have been effectively disenfranchised.
