Due to family commitments Cliff Jones was unable to convene a meeting during the month of June; consequently the Exeter & District Branch of the British National Party held a meeting at The Twisted Oak, Ide, near Exeter on Wednesday 10th July 2013, which commenced at 19.30 hours. The pub is now run be Chinese immigrants so any reference to the BNP was prohibited, with the meeting being held under the name of the Drakes Drum Forum. What follows are details of topics discussed at the forum:
Announcements
Cliff pointed out that over the past six weeks he had distributed some 500 leaflets around Newton Abbot. These were old leaflets dating back to 2010; but Cliff felt that it was better to put them into folks letter-boxes than to throw them away. Cliff issued details of the Exeter accounts for the past two years. The balance in the Exeter account held by the BNP treasurer James Mole shows 494.23 in credit. However, this money is only available for major campaign funding, so is not readily available for the every-day running expenses of the branch. The branch cash-book shows a credit of just 2.14; but in reality the branch has debts of 240.00 due to the need to print leaflets for Chris Stones recent election campaign. Adrian Romilly announced that he had recently held two table-top sessions in Liskeard and Plympton in the hope of attracting new blood into the Party. In both instances they were generally well received with no noticeable hostility. The only sign of an anti-BNP stance occurred in Plympton when a white Moslem convert approached the table and ranted on about the BNP being an anti-Islamic organisation. On both occasions there were only two members present at each table-top session Adrian felt that a minimum of three people in attendance is essential for effectively communication with the general public.
Adrian went on to say that on 13th July he will be attending an event at the Barn Theatre in Dartington Hall, with a talk being given by David Goodhart the editor of Prospect magazine. At the last such event there were some 400 people in attendance. Adrian thought that if enough BNP members were to attend these functions, then it could have a positive influence on the debate that follows the talk.
Adrian felt that the BNP should be more active in getting its members on the committees of the local Co-operative movement. He said that most active members are ordinary people; but it only takes a few left-wing activists in the organization to control its policy and political affiliations. More BNP members
Adrian commented that he had read the Safer Devon Partnership booklet in detail and was amazed at the sheer number of ethnic organizations that were being sponsored by the Devon tax-payer. He went on to say that he had sent a letter to Councillor Saunders of Devon County Council concerning this matter, and is awaiting a reply.
Future Activism
Adrian thought that during the summer months we should hold more table-top sessions to meet with the public. Cliff said that he will send out E-mails to all local members with a request that they contact Adrian if they want to get involved. No progress has yet been made on Chris Stones suggestion that we set up a table-top at the Exeter Sunday Market. It was, also, noted that both Newton Abbot and Haldon race courses hold car-boot sales. Cliff said that he will reconnoitre all of these locations so that he can make a decision as to which is the best option for a car-boot sale. It was suggested that we find things to sell at the car-boot sale to raise funds for the branch.

Newton Abbot Race Course Dates: Selected Sundays Cost for Car: 8:00
It was noted that most traders attend the Exeter Market event in the morning, and the go to Haldon Race Course in the afternoon. The proposed debate of the Drakes Drum Forum at the Whipton Social Club was discussed, and as Chris Stone was not at the meeting it was not possible to ascertain the cost of hiring the room for such an event. Adrian suggested that instead of going to great lengths in organising such an event with no guarantee that the general public will turn up would it not be better to infiltrate other debating societies and get our message across by asking intelligent and challenging questions? Roger Bennett pointed out that the Daily Telegraph is the best on-line newspaper in which to get your comments on a current article published. He said that he had recently commented on numerous Daily Telegraph articles, and in all cases his comments had been published on-line; in two cases his comments had achieved the best approval rating. Roger thought that this is a form of activism that we should be doing more often. Cliff pointed out that when ever he had sent in a comment concerning a newspaper article, any mention of the BNP seems to automatically filter it out for publication as an identical comment with reference to the BNP being replaced with UKIP gets published, especially in the Daily Mail.
Cliff went on to say: It is said that Social Mobility was at its greatest in the 1959-60 period why should that be?
Joe Randall said that the war years were terrible, but people pulled together and those with ability were recognized as such and promoted accordingly. People had a better work-ethic and did not expect free housing or welfare hands outs. It was mentioned that the church was still very influential within society, so people had higher moral values and worked together within cohesive communities. People tried to better themselves with part-time evening classes, and in most cases good employers were only too willing to encourage and promote these self-improvers. It was pointed out that Britain was still an industrial nation with most work being of high skill and intellect; unlike todays low skill and low intellect economy.
Cliff then proceeded to ask how the following topics have affected Social Mobility since 1959: Moral Decline and Lack of Christian values!
Roger Bennett pointed out that his great niece knows nothing of the Lords Prayer, the National Anthem or even the capital of London. There are no longer morning assemblies with Christian worship where hymns are sung, as it may offend the ethnic minorities whose wellbeing takes precedence over indigenous children. It was mentioned that children seem to have no idea as to what is right and what is wrong. It seems that people are afraid to teach their off-spring moral values, as it may conflict with their human rights. By not setting boundaries as to what is permissible and what is wrong, the parent(s) are doing their children no favours as in later life they are found to be lacking in life-skills and are essentially unemployable. Furthermore, it was pointed out that with welfare being so generous there is no incentive for youngsters (mainly girls) to better themselves as the state provides all their needs who needs a husband?
Education!
It was generally felt that the current education system is not fit for purpose; with a complete lack of discipline and a curriculum that is based on politically-correct dogma rather than preparing our youngsters to become the model citizens of the future. Too much emphasis is placed on university education; when in reality more should be spent on apprenticeships, on-the-job professional training and part-time professional study like the Higher National Certificate of the 1960s. However, it was noted that with Britains industrial decline there are now very few opportunities for apprenticeships of the quality that prevailed up to the 1960s.
Industrial Decline!
There is no doubt that Britains industrial decline has resulted in a massive decline in social mobility, especially in the highly intellectually demanding jobs in R&D (Research & Development); with many highly 4
Cultural Decline!
It was noted that Britains cultural decline can be linked directly to mass immigration. Once we had popular songs with tuneful melodies and wholesome lyrics; now we get talentless guitar twanging imbeciles yelling obscenities into an over-amplified micro-phone. The politically-correct classes tell us that this obscene rap music is cultural enrichment. Even our cultural heritage is being trashed, with the BBC portraying Nancy in Oliver Twist as a Negro. Is it any wonder our children are confused; as they are continually fed a diet of lies and distortions about Britains rich cultural heritage.
Mass Immigration!
It was generally agreed that mass immigration has been the greatest tragedy that has ever been inflicted on Britain. It has caused housing shortages with the result that house prices in Devon are now 9 times the average local wage. This has clearly had a great effect on social mobility as it now becomes impossible for a low wage-earner to re-locate to where the jobs are; even renting is now prohibitively expensive. Because of high house prices and rents, only the very wealthy are in a position to seek work in any location throughout the UK. It was pointed out that without mass immigration we wouldnt have the need for a race relations industry that finds ways of criminalizing the indigenous population so as to appease the immigrant and islamic communities.
Cliff then went on to close the discussion with the final question: What can be done to regenerate Social Mobility especially for white hetero-sexual males?
It was generally agreed that white hetero-sexual males were the main losers in social mobility under the present political system, and that improvement can only happen if the indigenous population stand up for themselves as the Islamic immigrants do. It was agreed that only a BNP government would have the strength of their convictions to implement the necessary legislation, such as a policy of repatriation, more stringent border controls and the repeal of all race relations legislation. Of course the first problem to be overcome is to get out of the EU.
It is Cliffs intention to write a full 12 page article of this topic for inclusion in the August Newsletter.

Dear Sir or Madam I saw your reporting of the BNP demonstration at Woolwich today, June 01 2013. Your reporter, a Scotsman, took an aggressive and biased attitude against the BNP spokesman which is totally unacceptable. If Sky cannot report news in a totally unbiased manner you have no right to broadcast news at all. Hundreds of thousands of British citizens support the demonstration against the enemies we have within our borders. The BNP polled one million votes in 2009 in the General Election. I was not at the demonstration personally, but would have been if circumstances had allowed. The BBC is and has been left wing biased which is being reviewed after the many complaints received. Is Sky News any better? If this is an example of Sky reporting this must also be investigated, we do not need it. Roger C Bennett Somerset, England
It really is pathetic, and insulting to your viewers to show news items that are blatantly biased. I'm referring to your reporting of the pro Army rally that took place in Woolwich. OK so it was organised by the BNP, but that doesn't mean all those there were members. It may be 'fashionable' in 'luvvie' circles to ridicule the indigenous peoples of Britain, but out here in the real world, the story is very different! No wonder audiences/readers of the MSM continue to shrink. We the public can now readily find factual news from other sources. In short we don't need you any more. Time to wake up people!!!!

This picture was taken about 40 years back. It is supposed that she allowed the photo to be taken because she never suspected that some day she would become famous. Now she is the most powerful lady in the world. She has half of Europe, specially Spain, Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Italy and lately Cyprus in debt up to their ears. Who is this woman?

OH, THOSE ITALIANS ! ! ! ! They are a nice bunch........ So politically incorrect - but funny!!!! Because there are no mosques in Venice, the Italian Government has allowed Muslims to pray in the streets. So far only 543 have drowned. GOD BLESS THOSE ITALIANS!

While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I called the Police and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check.... "There are several things to be aware of ... Gangs and thieves mostly from Eastern Europe are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women)to stop their vehicle and get out of the car. "There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it...waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby. "Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the person -- woman -- will be dragged into the woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead. If it's a man, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too. DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!! DIAL 999 AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON'T EVEN SLOW DOWN. "IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSCREEN, DO NOT STOP TO CHECK THE CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5%, AND YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THESE CRIMINALS. THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS, SO PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE ARE UNSAVOURY INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT." Please talk to your loved ones about this. This is a new tactic used. Please be safe. Get started NOW -- SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES TO BE CAREFUL AND AWARE OF EVERYTHING AROUND THEM SO AS NOT TO BECOME A VICTIM.

With the calm, objective, and nearly disinterested panache he is noted for, in Intellectuals and Race Thomas Sowell dissects a broad range of fallacies that have surrounded the touchy and often contentious subject of race. In this latest volume he doesn't miss a trick, and covers as succinctly as possible the whole gamut of why minorities over the ages - and not just blacks, but Malays, poor whites in Britain, Jews, Arabs, and other ethnic and sub-cultural groups - have shown little evidence of making progress in the 20th and 21st centuries in terms of standards of living, cultural assimilation, literacy, and so on, while others have sped ahead of other groups. Sowell discusses two main schools of thought that have tried to explain and justify the phenomena, and why both have simply exacerbated, perpetuated, and even created the problems. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Progressives in the U.S. patronized blacks, Jews, and Southern and Eastern Europeans immigrating to the U.S. as groups that had to be taken care of, even though many Progressives believed that, because of their genetic makeup or their native intelligence, no measurable improvement could be made by these groups on their own. They were seen as innately or genetically incapable of rising to the intellectual, cultural and moral standards of the country they lived in or came to. Many writers of the early Progressive period advocated laws that would prohibit the immigration of races or groups who were claimed to be morally degenerate, congenitally diseased or nearly subhuman. Statistical studies abounded with findings that attempted to scientifically correlate the causes of the lack of improvement among these groups; but Sowell lays down the law early on. Intellectuals on opposite ends of the spectrum in different eras have been similar in another way: Both have tended to ignore the long-standing warning from statisticians that correlation is not causation. In short, the numbers, percentages and proportions are a consequence of other factors, and not their a priori cause . Racial friction, discrimination, and exclusionary policies enforced by a majority may cause some minorities to fail and others to advance in terms of employment, literacy, and economic comfort. Conversely, majorities can be the victim of racial friction, discrimination, and exclusionary policies if a minority is bestowed political power through venal and manipulative politicians and governments (e.g., affirmative action policies). The ultimate responsibility for the causes of crime, immorality, irrationality, low intelligence and other deleterious consequences, Sowell points out, is the individual, who can allow himself to be influenced by external and internal factors. Several writers (or intellectuals) advocated the sterilization of blacks, Jews, and Slavs (eugenics) to protect the "race" from being dragged down to the levels that would cause crime, anarchy and the dissolution of civilization. Most of these studies premised their findings, conclusions and recommendations on genetic or racial determinism. In Britain, as in the United States, leaders and supporters of the eugenics movement included people on the left, such as John Maynard Keynes, who helped to create the Cambridge Eugenics Society, as well as H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Harold Laski, Sidney Webb and Julian Huxley. Sidney Webb said, "as a nation we are breeding largely from our inferior stocks."
