Shropshire Christmas Meeting 2012

Shropshire Branch held their Christmas meeting on Monday evening and councillor Mike Whitby was guest speaker, entertaining and at times provoking his audience with a very powerful talk on the state of Britain's finances.

Organisers Karl Foulkes and Phil Reddall told members about the year's local and national media stories relating to Shropshire BNP, from the sex grooming epidemic which the Times broke many months ago after pressure from our activists, to the Oswestry Muslim Community Centre story covered by the Shropshire Star and BBC Radio Shropshire last week. Details of forthcoming pre-Christmas activism were passed to members and a team of leafleters volunteered their services.

After the speakers, a substantial buffet was served and members socialised over drinks.

The following covers the basics of what cllr Mike Whitby spoke about and the information provided should be passed on to every friend and family member. It has been paraphrased and greatly simplified for this report.

The British National Party has long had in its Manifesto certain ways of bringing our finances back under control of the people. Cllr Whitby brought to members' attention a film which won a 'Best Documentary' award in 2010, entitled 'The Secrets of Oz'. This film explores how money is made and who benefits.

Britain and our people are shackled in debt. It is time to understand and promote how we break these shackles. But prepare yourselves for a struggle, for if you think the word 'racism' is something to fear, just wait until you begin to tackle the global banksters. You can be locked up for being perceived as a 'racist' but attempting to confront the money lenders is another step entirely, and one that has seen US Presidents removed from office (and I don't mean via the ballot box).

The following appeared in the BNPs 2010 Manifesto on p. 80
 

Quantitative Easing

The fact that the banking system has been able to increase the supply of money electronically has confirmed the long-held nationalist interpretation of money creation, namely that it is possible to generate ‘valid’ banknotes quite literally out of nothing.

This new money has been employed to purchase gilt-edged stock, with a view to lowering interest rates. We would have employed at least a significant element of the new funding to create capital projects and investment in new infrastructure in the energy and transportation sectors — which would also have created real jobs.

Currently, new money — excepting for the very small fraction of money that comprises notes and coin — enters into circulation as an interest bearing debt from the activities within the banking sector.

The banking sector is undoubtedly efficient in allocating credit but the question is whether the nation’s credit should, in part or in whole, be created under Crown authority?

In such an event, would it not best be employed to finance the public sector, thus enabling a reduction in taxation?

The right to issue money should ultimately rest with the state, and not with a consortium of private bankers.

Nationalist policy is anti-globalist, and a part of this principle means we intend to look after our own finances. This does not mean we can't trade abroad.

This subject which cllr Whitby spoke about is something which baffles many, but really it is quite simple. We have been 'baffled by science' so to speak, and the solution is surprisingly straightforward. We take over the Bank of England, call it the Bank of Britain, print enough money to pay off our national debt (should we feel generous enough to actually pay those people who have bled us dry for many, many years) and get back to the basics of manufacturing, engineering, high technology and trading real-world goods.

Iceland took control of their own finances. We can too.

I've tried to explain things simply. Posted below leads is the film mentioned earlier which will explain things in more detail.
