Thank you for putting this up. Look forward to part 2.
This is the best panel of nationalist speakers I have ever listened to. No wonder the usual suspects are spitting venom and I don’t just mean Gri££in..
I agree Jim. Now we will see the flack. And whilst we hear it, we know we are doing something right. I have shared this many times on Facebook. And will keep doing so, until the remaining good members wake up.
If I were trying to defuse nationalism from getting going again one technique I’d try is arguing that conventional political activity is a waste of time. ‘All failed’ so try an underground movement of like minds socialising etc.
Probably more effective as a defuser than left hatefests which tend to provoke a reaction.
The Western Spring sort of opposition we can easily notice to anything like the BDP and employing the above argument seems to me perfectly suited in practice to make nationalism permanently impotent and invisible to the population – whether that’s the intention or not. There seems to be a positive hostility to anyone approaching things a different way. Curious.
Curious or sinister ?
I don’t see it as sinister more as opinionated. My view is try your method and the more political party minded can try theirs. Potentially complementary rather than competitors.
On what basis is the political route claimed to be pointless? If the BNP had never even won a council seat you could argue that but umpteen plus MEPs and towards a million votes!
The rational argument is that if the BNP could do that what could something properly run do?
Agree with Mike.
We were very encouraged to hear the excellecnt calibre of the speakers at the meeting. There seems to me to be no reason why the BDP should not grow a lot faster than previous nationalist parties. One reason is that previously we didn’t have access to the Internet, which has made a huge difference, & another reason is that the economic/financial situation in the country is far worse now than it has been, & people are losing faith in the PTB’s ability or willingness to fix it.
Thanks to everyone involved in this great enterprise.
Reminds me of radio 4 gardeners question time.
It reminds me of the good old days before we were so rudely interrupted.
Mr Squire is absolutely correct – articulate people who know what they are talking about – unlike the braindead deadbeat scammers who run the BN “donate” P,
I regret not being able to attend the launch for personal reasons, but I have joined and I will do whatever I can to make this new party succeed. Well done to all those who have founded the new party.
Membership card has arrived and the time to stop talking and start working again is here.
Andrew Brons was quite right.
I think the most important thing said at the meeting was that the BDP should accept starting with a whimper and hopefully move towards a bang.
It’s absolutely right not to blow up a bubble of over expectation the many critics are itching to deflate. Even the most moderate progress will then encourage everyone.
Good news at last for Nationalism in UK
