John Bean's Nationalist Notebook (No. 2) 08.03.13

A fortnightly review by John Bean of some of the issues the Brit Dems would tackle

 

Don’t Mention London’s White Exodus

Perhaps the most frightening  statistic in the 2011 Census is that over the previous  decade London witnessed an exodus of 600,000 whites. This is equal to the whole population of cities such as Sheffield, Glasgow or Nottingham. Imagine just one  of those cities losing its total population with little comment from our politicians or the media.

The BBC, of course, had something to say. This was in an article on the web by home editor Mark Easton. There was nothing to worry about, he said, as London  became more and more multicultural and “vibrant”. It was a cause for celebration that whites were now in  a minority in a mixture of different racial groups.

Commenting on Easton’s view, Graeme Archer had an interesting article in  the Daily Telegraph (23.2.13) where he said it was not racist to discuss the exodus. Here is a key paragraph where he sarcastically comments on the BBC thinking:

“That the proportion of white people in the borough of Barking and Dagenham has dropped from four fifths to less than a half in a decade is nothing more than the natural desire of increasingly prosperous people to retire to the seaside. I‘m paraphrasing  Easton a little, but that was more or less the suggestion in his commentary. It’s a rising tide of prosperity that first flushed the Eastenders from  Bethnal Green  to Dagenham, and it’s the inexorable rise in property values that leads their descendants to move from metropolitan Essex to that beautiful county’s coastline.”

I remember street corner meetings  in Bethnal Green where I warned East Enders who had just survived the Blitz that the growth of immigration could present  equally harmful problems for the future. I  did not appreciate how devastating they would be. The borough now has a mayor who obtained his post through the aid – financial and otherwise – of an extreme fundamentalist Moslem group. Hate crimes against  remaining whites, including attacks on gays and white women wearing short skirts, are becoming commonplace.

Labour, of course, opened the floodgates to immigration. Cameron’s election promise of reducing it to “tens of thousands instead of hundreds of thousands”, has proved to be so much hot air. A classic example was his pledge during his recent visit to India that he would make changes to the application system that would make it quicker and cheaper for Indians to come to Britain for jobs or as students. We already run the largest  visa operation in the world in India, processing more than more 400,000 applications a year and granting nine out of 10. Are they all for genuine students or, with the right training,  jobs that we cannot fill ourselves ?

 

Orwell’s Newspeak at BBC

The BBC’s left-wing bias is already legendary and one of the wonders of the modern world. Now, without any recruitment process, James Purnell, the former Labour culture secretary, is appointed by Tony Hall, the incoming director-general, to become the BBC’s strategy chief – and at nearly £300,000 a year.

What is going on makes a mockery of the BBC’s claim to be a ‘balanced and objective’ organisation . It’s not just  its news output but its programmes in general that make it more akin to George Orwell’s Newspeak in Nineteen Eighty-four.

Rob Wilson, the Conservative MP for Reading East, said of the appointment: “Many have long had suspicions about a metropolitan, Leftist bias to the BBC’s output, particularly in news. With the BBC under greater scrutiny in recent months, I find it hard to think why the BBC is an appropriate choice for a leadership role.”

Matthew Sinclair, of the Taxpayers’ Alliance said: “This is an extortionate amount of licence fee payers’ money to splash on yet another BBC senior executive. It says something about BBC pay at the top that Purnell is now earning twice as much as he was when he was a Secretary of State”.

Of course you don’t have to watch BBC News. You can always try ITV News. But that’s almost as left-wing as the Beeb and never misses a trick in popping in a few ethnics in school or NHS shots, just to keep reminding you Britain is now a multiculti land.

Why’s this, you may ask? Wait until the end of a news program and when the credits role you  could well find that the News Editor is Parminder Sandhu. He’s not on every evening, but keep looking. He probably thinks he is doing a good job. Technically, perhaps he is. But surely he would not be human if a little bit of Indian bias did not creep in to his presentations of our news.?

 

We Pay For Wind Farm Subsidies

On the 18^th of February , during a period of low to medium wind, 4,300 of our wind turbines together provided just 0.1 per cent of Britain’s  electricity. This power output was a paltry 31MW compared with the 2,200MW we can get from one gas-fired plant, or two coal-fired plants. (The BDP would only support guaranteed clean-coal plants)

We are committed to carry on with this highly expensive gamble to meet our future energy requirements because Labour’s Ed Miliband when he was at the Department of Energy and Climate Change put through a Climate Change Bill conforming to EU requirements that legally binds the UK to cut CO2 emissions by 80 per cent by 2050.

The Coalition Government knows how vastly expensive wind power is turning out to be. Its solution is to rig the market with taxes inflicted on the electricity bills of householders and industry so that wind farms seem competitive. Land owners (among which you will find quite a few Tory and Lib Dem party members) will continue to do very nicely with up to £50,000 a year rent, depending upon how many of these bird-killing monstrosities are built on their land.

Meanwhile, the Renewable Energy Foundation (REF), a think tank that campaigns against the cost of wind energy, revealed last month that energy companies from Europe, the US and China will receive more than £100 billion in subsidies from British consumers to pay for a new generation of offshore wind farms. Ninety per cent of our wind farms will then be under foreign ownership. How can this possibly be justified?

The British Democrats would support renewables in our energy mix. This would include nuclear power, wave power, estuary barrages suitably designed to cause minimum disturbance to wild life, solar energy and geothermal power.

 

Enid Blyton “Is Racist”

Children’s books are now subject to constant inspection by the politically correct  and ‘anti-racist’ inspectors. The work of gifted writers that have enthralled the young for many years must be accepted for the time in which they were written – mainly over fifty years ago. None more so than Enid Blyton, famous for her Noddy and Famous Five books.

The title of one of her books, The Three Golliwogs, may have offended Guardian readers and Hampstead  literati, but it is doubtful that black people in Britain originally gave it much thought. But all is well, the title has been changed to The     Three Bold Pixies.

Enid Blyton’s home town of Beaconsfield is planning a festival to celebrate their famous writer. Anthony Mealing, a local,  is opposing this on the grounds that Blyton was “racist and sexist”.

I would suggest that a way of restoring peace in Beaconsfield would be to get one of the accepted PC fashionable writers, or a team of them, to write a special Famous Five book entitled   Famous Five Moslem Ladies Win a Noddy Car.

Here’s a suggestion for the front cover.
