Shrewsbury Prayer Centre Plan: Update

Column Lodge in Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury residents are calling for the proposed plan for a Muslim prayer centre in Shrewsbury to be scrapped. People are objecting to the plan on the grounds that the prayer centre would create additional traffic and cause problems with parking along with the obvious cultural change that it would bring.

Shropshire Bangladesh Welfare Society bought the former register office at Column Lodge from the council in a deal worth £215,000 and has applied for it to be turned into a prayer centre and community room.

As soon as this plan was made public, local BNP activists swung into action and targeted thousands of homes with the party's excellent "Protecting British Identity" leaflet which was very well received by residents - many who claim that they have been betrayed by the council and its councillors.

Along with a very well attended public demonstration organised by local residents, hundreds of concerned folk have also written to Shropshire Council, and of the 460 comments that have been received so far during the public consultation period, the vast majority are against the proposed prayer centre. 

In the latest comments section on the Shropshire Council website, Amy Humphreys, one of the people opposing the plan, said: “After reading a number of the comments from those who support this plan, I’m now absolutely convinced that opposing it is the right thing to do. The belief that a lovely traditional English town needs to become ‘more multicultural’ is disturbing.” Well said Amy; Shropshire Patriot couldn't agree more!

Councillor Quits After Just Two Weeks

George Miah

George Miah, the resturant owner who recently failed in his campaign to set up a 'Muslim Prayer Centre' aka Mosque in an old church on Oswald Road has given up his Town Council seat after just two weeks in the position, letting down the local residents and potentially costing the taxpayer money should a by election be held.

Free or Terrorised - It's Up To You

Activism in Oswestry

After the shocking murder of one of our soldiers, Shropshire BNP hit the streets immediately using a leaflet available to download and print which can be found here.

Our chairman Nick Griffin - the hardest working nationalist in British political history - was on hand to help out.

There is one fact which must be heard: if you are concerned about how Britain is being run, it is time for you to join (or re-join) the BNP.

It doesn't matter if there are one or two things you disagree with or if there are one or two members you don't get on with. The most important thing is the Cause, not individual egos.

We are here to provide a bright and secure future for generations to come. It is that simple. We are a small island and the world is a big place. We just want a safe haven to call home, where we can continue to trade with the world and shake hands with leaders of other nations while retaining our freedom, security, identity and democracy.

But when Islamic terrorists behead a British soldier, on a British street, in broad daylight, it is time to say "No more!"

The BNP is not anti-Muslim. We respect the right of Muslims to do whatever they like in their own countries. But if our people are murdered by extremist Muslims on our own streets while our politicians and our media bend over backwards to appease the extremists, it is time we made a stand.

The leaflet available to download has details of a major demonstration in Woolwich. Get down there and make a peaceful stand for our right to be safe and free in our own country.

Shropshire Patriot aims to help the BNP secure freedom in our land peacefully and by using moderate but firm language. Violence has come to British streets, but it is not us who are violent. Stand with us; be firm, do not yeild and never give in.

Don't Sit Back

 

Our politicians and police are impotent. They cannot stop terrorist attacks like the one in Woolwich yesterday afternoon.

Enoch Powell warned you over 40 years ago. The British National Party has been warning you for decades since.

The government send our troops to die in the middle east, 'fighting terrorism' while a young soldier is beheaded on our streets by Islamic terrorists. The police take almost half an hour to turn up. Our politicians tell us not to over react. Britain is being run by retarded scumbags.

Our current crop of politicians do not have the moral strength to care for the British people, yet all it takes is for good, honest, courageous people like you to stand up and say, "No more!"

To join the BNP, click on the 'British Revolution' link at the top right hand corner of this blog.

Don't sit back and say there's nothing you can do. The British people can do whatever they set their minds to.

CH4 Documentary Focuses on Grooming Scandal in Shropshire

The horrific abuse and sexual exploitation of schoolgirls by a group of Asian men in Shropshire – and the problems facing police officers in bringing them to justice without being accused of racism – is to be exposed in a hard-hitting TV documentary this Thursday at 9pm.

Channel Four’s Dispatches team was given access to Telford police during Operation Chalice, one of the country’s largest ever child sex abuse investigations.

And the results, including candid interviews with many of the leading detectives, are revealed in an hour-long special, The Hunt For Britain’s Sex Gangs, at 9pm on Thursday.

Mr Heneghan (for CH4) said the programme examined how Telford Police also had to face the reality that the men who were perpetrators in this case were all British Pakistanis.

“As one of the DCI’s in charge of launching the initial arrests says: ‘How do you deal with that, without being accused of being racist? My view is this: I’ve got a bunch of criminals, I don’t care what background they come from, I don’t care about anything else about them other than that they are gang-raping young girls’.”

Shropshire Patriot says that in this particular case, the police seem to be confused between race and religion.

Read the full article from the Shropshire Star here and watch the Dispatches documentary at 9pm on Channel 4 this Thursday 23rd May. If you miss the programme, CH4 can be viewed online here.

Will Shropshire BNP feature, considering that our campaigning helped to raise this issue in the first place? Remember, Nick Griffin spoke about this many years ago and the Establishment twice tried to jail him for doing so.

We were right, we are right and we always intend to get it right.

One day our people will awake and say, "No More!".

Freedom of Expression

Arrests have been made in Shrewsbury after comments were made on a Facebook page dedicated to opposing the planned Muslim prayer centre at Column Lodge.

The Shropshire Star reports can be read here and here.

Shropshire Patriot asks all those making comments about Muslims, mosques, immigration and anything else that is important to the British people first carefully consider their words.

Today's society is in a mess. Northern European culture has a long tradition of free speech and liberty and our heroes from Boudica to Hereward the Wake to Enoch Powell did not take kindly to their rights being taken away.

Unfortunately our nation is in the grip of immoral laws which restrict our freedom of expression.

Shropshire Patriot aims to advance the Cause of British nationalism but we will do this in a polite and responsible manner.

Our aim is to have a society ruled by good morals rather than laws, where all points of view are heard and debated.

The ancient Greeks understood this 2,500 years ago but our political masters today do not.

It is not good practice to use the law to stop people saying what they wish to say, even if what they say is offensive to some.

Our people are offended every day by what they see and hear on the streets and in the news.

But one thing is clear - abusive language does not help our Cause and Shropshire Patriot asks for all comments to be carefully considered before posting.

Telford Muslims Jailed for Sexually Abusing Girls

              

Ahdel Ali, 25, Mubarek Ali, 29, Mohammed Ali Sultan, 26, Tanveer Ahmed, 40, Mohammed Younis, 60, and Mohammed Islam Choudhrey, 53.

              

Seven Muslim men have been jailed after a series of complex court cases.

Today, the Shropshire Star reveals details of those court cases following a hearing in the High Court today in which a judge upheld a decision that another man accused of child sex abuse offences was not mentally fit to be retried.

Mahroof Khan, 35

After West Mercia Police’s investigation into suspected under-age sex and child prostitution, seven men were finally convicted in cases stretching over two years.

Four experienced judges have heard distressing evidence from four young women, who were aged 13 to 16 when they were abused during a two-year period between 2007 and 2009.

The leading players in the abuse were brothers, Ahdel and Mubarek Ali, of Regent Street, Wellington, who received long jail sentences after an eight-week trial.

The full story can be found at the Shropshire Star website here.

Shropshire Patriot poses the following questions:

1. Is this a case of a few criminals who happen to be Muslim or is there a deeper religious and cultural issue which has yet to be fully explained by the establishment and the press?

2. Why have we had no apologies from the Muslim community in Shropshire?

3. Why does the local Conservative run Council seem so eager to encourage the conversion of old churches into 'Muslim prayer centres' aka mosques?

One fact shines brightly through the confusion, however - the BNP have long campaigned on the issue of sexual exploitation of our young girls while all the other political mainstream parties did nothing and still do nothing except to cuddle up to Islam.

If you believe the sexual grooming of young girls is still going on in your area, seemingly unopposed by the authorities, the BNP would like to hear from you on 0844 809 4581

Former Church in Shrewsbury Sold to Muslims

Column Lodge - Sold to Shropshire Bangladesh Welfare Society

 

Note: To comment on this 'change of use' proposal, follow the link to Shropshire Council's planning website here. Please read all the available information before commenting.

 

Shropshire Council has sold Column Lodge to the Shropshire Bangladesh Welfare Society in a £215,000 deal.

The former church, based near to the Column roundabout, was home to the council’s registration services before they were transferred to the Guildhall in Frankwell last year.

Martin Kabir, a trustee of the Shropshire Bangladesh Welfare Society, today said the building would become a Muslim prayer centre and community room, and it would be open to all members of the public. He said: “The building was a place of worship years ago.

“It will become a facility for Muslim prayer and a day care centre. It is a first for Shrewsbury and everyone will be welcome.

“We have been looking for somewhere for a long time and this is close to the outskirts of town and easy to access.”

A statement in support of the planning application said that at peak times on a Friday afternoon there could be up to 50 visitors.

See the full story on the Shropshire Star website here: 

 

Shropshire Branch of the BNP calls on Shropshire Council to decide upon this Planning Application at an Open Meeting.

Previously, the Council had opted for a similar decision in to be made by unelected planning officers, when Oswestry Muslim Society applied to convert a former church into a mosque.

We demand electoral accountability, which means that only elected councillors must be the ones who make the decisions that have the potential to alter Shropshire's cultural landscape.

A full local campaign is planned by Shropshire BNP to raise awareness of these proposals.

British Persistence!

Attempting to change the face of British politics isn't easy. In fact the task we in the British National Party have set ourselves is huge. We must alter people's habits, tackle a system that has had decades to embed itself in people's psyche and wait patiently for our window of opportunity, all the while keeping our composure, taking defeat after defeat and coming back for more, never knowing how long we'll have to wait until our time comes.

However, there are many positives to consider; firstly, over the last few years the voting public have toyed with the idea of change - from a cautious voting experiment which gave way to a coalition government in 2010 to the bolder  notion of offering UKIP seats at local level. This shows that while many are quite rightly disillusioned with politics, some of the electorate are taking a few steps in a different direction, testing the water with something new.

The economy of Britain and the personal finances of many British people is near breaking point, but today, right now, we are mostly okay. And so people only vote for as much change as they think they need while at the same time pretending bad things just won't happen. This is human nature - a mental defence mechanism, for the alternative is to accept just what a problematic situation we all face.

The BNP is the British Resistance, but for most people there isn't much to resist, at least not on their immediate personal radar. Nationalists can see what is round the corner but trying to explain this to the electorate is difficult. It is negative politics in a sense, for although we have a grand vision of how our country could be, that grand vision is even harder to convey because the mental aptitude for great achievements has been promoted as unfashionable by a Communist vein which runs through today's society and which has a vested interest in holding our people down. 

As nationalists we understand what is happening to Britain and we have the policies to deal with the situation and to rebuild our country into something to be proud of once again.

But what we need from BNP members is one thing and one thing only - endless persistence.

We shall keep on trying, ignoring the weak naysayers, who repeatedly tell us all is lost, and continue onwards.

Question: How many times does it take to get elected?
Answer: As many as it takes.

Market Drayton West - A Message of Awakening

Activists Just Like You

This afternoon three teams of BNP activists were out and about in Market Drayton West ward distributing a second hard hitting leaflet aimed at awakening our people to the immense threat posed to Britain by the so called 'mainstream' politicians.

The British National Party is not 'mainstream' in the warped eyes of the media but we talk and think like our people because we ARE our people - honest, hardworking, patriotic folk who see things the way they really are.

Britain is broken and is being propped up on a false economy. We are here to promote a message that seems radical to the current crop of self-serving politicians, but to us the message is not really radical at all.

We are prepared to go to great lengths to ensure genuine democracy prevails; we will leaflet relentlessly, we will stand up for the common man, we will endure pressure from the establishment. We will never give in.

The message in our leaflets is getting to work right now; subtly altering the thought process in the minds of our people and gradually guiding them away from the perverse teachings promulgated by a liberal elite who have lived off the British kindred like vampires, bleeding them dry daily and removing sense of their self worth and the ability to self determination.

The BNP is out every day in Market Drayton putting good, wholesome thoughts into the minds of our folk and showing them a 'third way' - not right wing, not left wing - just good, honest policies to rid our nation of the menace which has gripped this country tight for six long decades.

Protest, resist and vote BNP on Thursday 2nd May 2013.

And then join our Movement...

Shropshire Election Video

Shropshire County Council Candidates

PHIL REDDALL - MARKET DRAYTON WEST: I’ve lived in Shropshire for the last fifteen years and am married with two children. For the last three years I have been a Parish Councillor, serving my community and playing a key role in initiatives such as the local allotments association.

I joined the BNP ten years ago as I felt let down by all the other political parties. No one else spoke for me - a white working class lad who couldn’t afford to go to university and who couldn’t get an engineering apprenticeship. Nowadays I can’t afford to buy my own home and there aren’t enough council houses to go round. The Conservative Party, the Labour Party and the Lib Dems have all had a chance to fix broken Britain, but things only ever get worse. British people must start thinking about who they vote for. If you keep voting the same way you'll keep getting the same thing!

All I want is a simple family life where my kids are safe to play in the park; I want to see Britain lead the world in manufacturing again; I want out of the EU and I want an end the kind of immigration that has seen British towns and cities transformed beyond recognition.

That’s why I’ll continue to help the British National Party.

JENNIFER MATTHYS - OSWESTRY WEST: I have been married to Angus for four years, we are blessed with a one year old toddler, as well as our trio of dogs. I live in picturesque and rural Shropshire, not far from where I grew up.

I am semi fluent in Welsh and have been involved in politics and the BNP since my mid-teens; After all, with Nick Griffin as my dad, it was a natural step!

I started working for the BNP in 2009, and can honestly say that I find it both interesting and rewarding working in politics. That is why I'm proud to be standing as a candidate, because I care about the future that we're leaving for our children, and will work to make that a better future. So on election day, place your cross next to the British National Party heart - because you care too.

IAN DEAKIN - WEM: I’ve lived in and around Wem all my life and know my local community inside out. Getting out of the EU is a big issue for me and after a brief look at UKIP I joined the BNP - the only party with the guts and determination to act and a party which has a really strong grassroots membership base.

I've worked in Britain and abroad and I've seen alot in my time. I'd like to think that my life experiences have contributed to the opinions that I have formed and I have certainly done some serious thinking about what political party I support these days. It's no use complaining; we must act! Our country is in a sorry state but I know we can turn it back around. At my time of life I wouldn't be contesting elections if I didn't think it was worth while. I'm still up for the fight and I hope my fellow Brits are too.

ANGUS MATTHYS - OSWESTRY EAST: I married Jennifer 4 years ago and last year we welcomed our little boy into the world; there's no nicer feeling than walking in the countryside with our three dogs while listening to him chatter away to us!

I grew up in a small village not far from Aberystwyth, and although always interested in politics, I didn't get actively involved until after I had met Jennifer.

I started working for the BNP in 2009 and although the hours are long, I can honestly say that I find it both exciting and rewarding working in politics. That is why I'm proud to be standing as a candidate, because I care about the future that we're leaving for our children, and I will work hard to make that a better future. So on election day, place your cross next to the British National Party heart - because you care too.

KARL FOULKES - SUNDORNE: I’m a Shropshire lad born and bred and I’ve been contesting elections for the BNP for quite some time. I am a married family man with children and a grandchild and people often ask me how I manage to squeeze in political activity between work and a busy family life. The simple truth is that I find time for the BNP because I must. No other political party cares so much for the traditional family unit and it amazes me that it has actually become politically incorrect to talk about traditional family values!

While some people seem to have given up on Britain and her people, I am as steadfast as ever in my belief that the wheel will turn full circle and the British spirit community spirit will be rekindled once again.

I want people to lend their vote to the BNP in hope for the future and in defiance of the out of touch politicians who have led this country to financial ruin and disenfranchised a whole generation of young people in the process. I’m never, ever giving in and I know we can motivate the electorate towards an honest, wholesome political revolution.

BNP: The Best Protest Vote In Town!

Mosque Victory... For Now

BNP Victory Against Oswestry Mosque Proposal

Great news today as the Shropshire Star reports here that the plan for a 'Muslim Prayer Centre' in Oswestry has now been dropped.

But north Shropshire organiser Phil Reddall this afternoon spoke of his suspicion regarding the announcement.

"With elections looming and the BNP's north Shropshire group poised to stand more candidates than ever before, this headline could well be a ploy to divert the attention of voters away from the highly controversial mosque issue.

"I would not be at all surprised if a new planning application from Oswestry Muslim Society appears after the elections have passed," Mr Reddall continued.

Shropshire Patriot believes that had it not been for the BNP's campaign to raise awareness of this plan, Oswestry would by now be the first north Shropshire town to have its own mosque.

In truth, it is only a matter of time before Islam rears its head again in Shropshire and until our local Council chambers are filled with honest patriots, our County will continue to change in ways not beneficial to the British way of life.

Opposing the Islamification of our country is only one aspect of British National Party policy. Radical alterations to the banking system is another major point we contend with, along with a day by day crusade to free the minds of our people and get them thinking once again.

The BNP Solution

An Open Letter To Enquirers

Nationalists Working Together

In the eyes of the media and the mainstream politicians, the BNP’s policies are seen as ‘extreme’, but this is not the case. What is extreme is what is being done to Britain and her people by those who are running Britain today.

In Wellington, Shropshire, young teenage white girls have been molested and abused over a long period of time by Muslim gangs. Action was only taken to arrest and prosecute some of the perpetrators when the BNP relentlessly leafleted and protested, telling the local people exactly what was going on. What was allowed to happen for so long is extreme.

Huge areas of our towns and cities do not have a single white person living in them. Small numbers of socially integrated immigrants is fine, but the total replacement of an indigenous people is extreme.

Nationally, our government gives away billions of pounds in foreign aid while pensioners freeze to death because they can’t afford to heat their homes. This is extreme.

Our government have dropped bombs onto innocent Muslims in the Middle East while at the same time Muslims have been imported into Britain. This creates a terrorist threat and it is extreme.

Our government allows global banksters to control our economy. The interest alone is killing Britain and only the BNP would take back control of our banking system. In fact this is one of the real reasons why the powers that be hate the BNP.

The establishment rules by creating chaos and division in our society. They care about money and power and nothing else. What kind of establishment calls the BNP 'racist' yet drops bombs on Iraqi schools? Mainstream politicians are psychopaths who care for nothing other than fulfilling their greedy ambitions.

The BNP wants to bring back social order and a return to a traditional moral code that has worked in western society for thousands of generations.

I could go on and on, but our message to you is clear and simple; in this modern world everything has been turned upside down. What was once good and wholesome is now regarded as evil, and vice-versa. The BNP and our nationalist morals are hated by a twisted, evil establishment and are attacked at every opportunity by twisted media corporations. But it is we who are the genuine ‘good guys’ and we are never giving in.

I won’t beat around the bush. Ideally we’d like you to join the British National Party and we’d like you to be an active member of our Shropshire Branch. That may be too much for you... or perhaps it’s exactly what you’ve been planning on doing. But whatever you do decide to do, keep in touch. We are not 'salesmen' who want you join the BNP so we can merely hit targets and take your money. We’d like you to to join our Party so you can help us put our country back on track and provide a bright future for our children.

It’s not an easy task but it is worthwhile. We can and do make a difference and one day we will be in a position to right many wrongs.

PS – Don’t forget to vote BNP on Thursday 2^nd May... and encourage others to do so too.

Aaron Dugmore

Aaron Dugmore

Shropshire Patriot is extremely saddened to hear of the suicide of poor 9 year old Aaron Dugmore, the young lad who was bullied to death by racist Asian bullies at his school in Erdington, Birmingham, just for being white. In fact we are saddened to the point of tears.

Aaron had apparently told his parents he had been threatened with a plastic knife and allegedly told by the older Asian boy, "Next time it will be a real one".

No one can know what horror this poor young lad was going through.

It is well known that schools usually have a zero tolerance for racism and local Councillors and police are quick to act if a black or Pakistani child says they are suffering from racist bullying.

The most sickening thing in this case is how the head teacher Martyn Collins reportedly refused to act when the parents raised their desperate concerns to him.

Headteacher Martyn Collins

The British National Party are calling for the sacking of the Martyn Collins and will not let this outrage be pushed under the carpet.

Do not allow this crime to be ignored. Write to Chair of Governors for the school and demand the sacking of Martyn Collins.

Council called 'political cowards' over Muslim Centre approval

From the Border Counties Advertizer here.

Published date: 19 February 2013 |

Published by: Emily Davies
 

SHROPSHIRE Council was accused of “political cowardice” by the British National Party last week, as the furore surrounding Oswestry’s first Muslim Centre continues.

Claiming the unitary authority was guilty of maladministration, Phil Reddall, a member of the far-right organisation, said councillors have a ‘moral case to answer’ following the handling of the application to change the use the former Presbyterian Church on Oswald Road.

He believes they should have made the decision after it received nearly 60 letters of complaint. Planning permission was granted by planning officers.

In a letter calling for an appeal decided by councillors, Mr Reddall said: “Given that the application received 103 public comments with the majority of these comments being objections, I firmly insist that the council should have made an electorally accountable decision. In fact, the council have acted with political cowardice and with no regard for public sentiment.”

Mr Reddall, BNP’s North Shropshire organiser, led a video and leaflet campaign against the application which was submitted by the Oswestry Muslim Society in November.

His letter said: “I believe that they have acted without due consideration to the views of the local electorate and as such the council have a moral case to answer.”

He called for future applications of a religious nature to be decided by councillors.

A spokesperson for the council said: “The decision was taken as required by the planning legislation having regard to the policies in the development plan, the National Planning Policy Framework and any other material planning considerations.

In accordance with the Council’s scheme of delegation this application was delegated to officers for consideration.”
