The Exeter & District Branch of the British National Party held a meeting at The Twisted Oak, Ide, near Exeter on Wednesday 21st August 2013, which commenced at 19.30 hours. The pub is now run by 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 said that he had leafleted parts of Newton Abbot with some 500 old BNP leaflets better to put them into folks letter-boxes than to dump them. Since the last meeting, table top sessions had been held in Plympton and Ivybridge. The first table-top was held at Plympton with Adrian and Cliff. The reception from the people was generally favourable apart from one women who called us racist scum, but refused to converse with us in a civilised manner. Twenty minutes later a policewoman turn up and said that the police had received a call from the public saying that a racist incident had occurred. Cliff showed her the literature on display, which the policewomen agreed was in no way racist. She appeared embarrassed about the incident, but said that as the complaint involved a supposed racist incident the police had no option but to investigate. A table-top session was held at Ivybridge on Tuesday 20th August with Adrian and Cliff in attendance. Again the overwhelming majority of people were supportive and took our leaflets with enthusiasm. However, an Asian woman approached our table and started to rant on about us being racist and promoting hate. Trying to have a reasonable discussion with the women proved futile as she became more hysterical and attempted to confiscate all our literature. She went off in a huff. A taxi-driver who witnessed the incident complimented us for standing our ground, and took a few of our leaflets. Some time later a policeman and policewomen turned up to question us about our literature and behaviour. After a few minutes Adrian was able to assure them that everything had been conducted in a non-racially aggravated manner, and they left soon afterwards assured that no offence had been committed. Isnt it amazing that if someone complains to the police that a racially aggravated offence has occurred, then they react within twenty minutes. Try getting the police to react to a burglary, then youre lucky if they turn up at all in most instances they will just give you a crime number so that you can make an insurance claim.
Future Activism
Chris Stone thought that the proposed location of the Whipton Social Club for an open debate of the Drakes Drum Forum was a good idea. Clearly, if the Forum was restricted to BNP members it would fail, as there are insufficient active members within the South West for such an event to succeed. For the event to succeed invitations must sent to other political groups or organizations that share our concerns. It was pointed out that many people in the UKIP and Conservative parties share many of our views, so the topic for debate should be something that will appeal to like-minded people. It was agreed that the possibility of holding such an event at the Whipton Social Club should be investigated further. Adrian said that while we still have a few weeks of summer weather left, we should be using it productively by have more table-top sessions and meeting the people. He will be arranging more of these events and would be grateful for more people to participate.
He explained that gas (methane) is trapped in the shale rock. By drilling and inserting a pipeline into the shale rock it is then possible to inject high pressure water into the rock that causes it to fracture, so releasing the shale gas. This freed gas diffuses towards the pipeline, which can then be extracted for commercial use. Cliff posed the first question: Does Britain need the energy that fracking is supposed to provide?
Answers from those in attendance could be summed up as being: With an ever increasing population Britain is going to need all the energy it can get, especially with the production of North Sea gas in terminal decline.
Cliff went on to say: Can Britain not obtain this additional energy requirement from other sources?
It was pointed out by numerous people present that the UK is already heavily dependent on foreign nations for its energy supplies: gas from Russia, Electricity from France and oil from the Middle Eastern countries. It was mentioned that although the UK still has huge resources of coal available, most of the easily mined coal has been extracted, and what remains will be costly and dangerous to mine. Joan B-T pointed out that wind turbines are a waste of time and will not meet Britains increasing energy demand.
Cliff then proceeded to ask: What are the dangers associated with fracking?
Those present stated: The fracturing of the shale rock can cause earth tremors. The various fluids used in the drilling and fracking process can leak into the subterranean aquifers, so polluting the water supply. The methane gas can also leak into the water supply, with the possibility that the gas in the tap-water can ignite. 3
This begged the question: Are the dangers associated with fracking over-exaggerated?
It was pointed out that we still suffer from earth tremors due to coal mining, and these have never really caused any serious problems. Trevor said that the shale rock is very much deeper than the coal mines (up to 3 miles deep), so any earth tremor will probably be of very low intensity compared to those associated with coal mining. The picture showing the methane flame derived from tap-water could have been derived from other natural sources methane is a bi-product of decomposing vegetation so it appears naturally in all rivers and wells. The general consensus was that the dangers associated with fracking are probably over-exaggerated by the green lobby for political purposes.
The penultimate question was: Will the Green Partys anti-fracking campaign succeeed?
It was generally agreed that the Green Partys campaign to prevent fracking will ultimately fail. The reasons being that: the UK will be in need of more energy due to a growing (if unwanted) population; Britain needs greater self sufficiency in energy, free from its current dependence on foreign suppliers; there is so much money involved that the banks and big-business will ensure that it happens.
The final question was: The BNP is opposed to fracking; is this the right approach, if not, what should its policy be?
It was generally agreed that the BNPs policy of opposing all fracking is wrong, and it should change its policy to be more in tune with Britains needs and the will of the people. Joan B-T considered that the BNP should have no official position on fracking until its safety is assured. Most people felt that the BNP must accept the inevitable and have a pro-fracking policy; however, its policy must be such to ensure that the fracking process benefits the British workers, industry and consumers - and not the merchant bankers or foreign oil companies. It must, also, ensure that fracking operations are strictly regulated to minimise any pollution or earth tremors that are inherent in these operations.
Conclusion of Meeting
After a lively and enjoyable discussion the meeting finished at 9:30pm. A collection raised 45.00 for our funds. The date for the next meeting has not been confirmed, but is most likely to be on the last Wednesday in September; Cliff will advise later.

The following letter by Adrian Romilly was published in the Western Morning News.
Sir, I think 'Diversity' should 'celebrated' with a little more caution than was apparent in last Monday's report (3/6/13) of Exeter's Respect Festival; looking around the world one finds that almost all of the places where there is strife there is also diversity: there is a surfeit of diversity in countries such as Syria (Shia, Sunni, Alowite ), Burma (Budhists v Mohammedans), Ceylon (Tamil's v Sinhalese), Iraq (Kurds, Shias, Sunnis ), Egypt (Mohammedans of several stripes, Christians ), Ireland (republicans v Loyalists), Fiji (native Fijians v Indians).... . In tranquil countries, countries at ease with themselves, the diversity co-efficient tends to be low. Of course, it is possible that the association of 'diversity ' and 'strife', may not be causal but I wouldn't count on it!
Adrian received the following E-mail from a fellow BNP member:Dear Adrian, My husband and I went to the Diversity festival a few years ago and hope to go again, to tackle some of the stall-holders on their assumptions. While were on the subject, what exactly is a racist or, as used to be racialist? What is a fascist? What is the Far-Right? What is homophobic? Is it not necessary to tackle everyone who uses these well-used but sloppy phrases and demand of them exactly what they mean? I am reminded of when I taught and the deputy head accused me to my husband of not fulfilling my obligations and he asked what are they in this context? and she was unable to answer. If tackled, most who use such phrases mean anyone who disagrees with my liberal prejudices. As to diversity, I went to school in Wales and learnt 5 foreign languages. I was there with girls who spoke at home one of maybe 7 languages, and who were of all Christian denominations, as well as Jewesses, Jehovahs witnesses and atheists. But that is not diverse enough. So diversity also has a particular meaning for our liberals. Has anyone ever asked them what they mean? By using such phrases they hope not to be asked for their own perverted meaning, because they can then brainwash those who dare not to share their own opinions. What they in fact mean on diversity is Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, West Indians, Africans, Eastern Europeans etc (How exactly is Mo Farrah British?) and crawling to anyone who does not belong here. Maybe you would like to pass this around your list of contacts for comments. Regards, Anne Passman (often, for the sake of my family, known as Anne English, my maiden name) Yes, the thought police are alive and well and living in an England near you.
I went down to the Jobcentre this morning to sign up my Dog. The woman said, "Dogs are not eligible for benefits". I explained to her that my Dog is black, unemployed, idle, can't speak English and has no clue who his dad is. She looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify. He gets his first cheque on Friday. Damn this is a great country!!!
I SWEAR! THIS IS NOT THE SAME BIBLE, IS IT? FOR GEORGE BUSH OR HILARY CLINTON
YOU WERE TOLD THAT OBAMA WAS SWORN IN ON THOMAS JEFFERSON'S BIBLE
HERE'S THOMAS JEFFERSON'S BIBLE, IT IS LONG AND NARROW WITH A CLEARLY DIFFERENT SPLINE.
Why?
The following considerations constitute possible causal explanations for these outcomes: A lack of emotional nourishment in the very early years can create chronically low thresholds for stress throughout life.

Parents disempowered
A primary school head-teacher put it well in a letter to the Independent newspaper published on 26th April: 'Mr Gove underestimates the family and its role in educating a child. For too long policy has placed the onus on schools to provide the child with every attribute necessary to access adult life. This has in turn disempowered parents. There has been a noticeable increase in the number of children coming to school without being toilet trained, with poor speech and language skills and incapable of any independent tasks; the expectation is that schools will take responsibility for these issues. This is not the answer. Providing longer school hours and shorter holidays will reduce the amount of time spent with family and further diminish the role of parents within society. Children need time to play, explore and learn about human relationships beyond school. Populating the global society with creative, intelligent, highly motivated and flexible individuals is surely Mr Goves ambition; but such people do not evolve from a childhood spent entirely in the classroom.

The Halifax have succeeded in sinking to even lower depths of depravity in their most recent TV commercial which shows a Negro football coach with his white pregnant partner at a childrens football match.
This goes even further than the first advertisement and its message clearly indicates that it is perfectly acceptable to breed with Negros, even though any offspring produced will be of low intelligence that will inevitably genetically weaken Britain as a nation.
Now, one advertisement promoting miscegenation would have been considered an aberration, but two in close succession can only be a wilful act of racial hatred in the promoting the genocide of indigenous white British population. Why should the Halifax produce such controversial advertisements and what is their agenda, when they know it would be considered most offensive to the vast majority of indigenous Britons? I wonder what reaction I would get if I made a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA)? My guess is that they will refuse to act, for fear of offending the immigrant community. I have now made an official complaint just to see what response I get from the ASA. Ill let you know what response I get.

This diagram clearly indicates that over the past 30 years there has been massive grade inflation associated with A level results, with only the grades C to A* being accepted by respectable universities as acceptable passes. Furthermore, with a failure rate of only 2% its almost impossible to fail how bad must one be to fail such an exam? This is probably a symptom of the modern education system where nobody can be seen to fail, and everyone must have a prize.
