New Year Resolutions
Posted on 12. Jan, 2010 by Richard Barnbrook in Latest News
The beginning of January is always brings the same feeling of optimism, determination and resolve. It’s a wonderful time of year, because after the jollity and merry-making of Christmas, I’m now refreshed and keen as ever to be getting on with the job. And my resolution for 2010 is get Nick Griffin voted in as the MP for Barking, and myself as the Leader of what will be the new BNP controlled council of Barking and Dagenham.
It’s my job to spearhead and co-ordinate both campaigns. And there’s going to be no let-up from now until the elections. The date for the Council elections is already fixed for Thursday 6th May. And as we all know, Gordon Brown has to go to the country by the summer. So there seems every likelihood that both elections will take place on the same day.
The British National Party is leaving no stone unturned to deliver victory. But at the end of the day, there really is no such entity as ‘the Party.’ Rather, it is a composite amalgamation of loyal, decent and patriotic individuals like you and me. People that have seen the truth behind the lies and the smears. People that know in their hearts that what the BNP stands for is simply plain old fashioned common sense. People who care enough for the future of their children and grandchildren, to stand up and actively support what they believe in. And people who have simply looked around at the changes that have been forced on us without our consent and have said ‘Enough is enough. It’s time to do my bit.’
I’ve met some amazingly selfless individuals since I became active in the BNP. Many have full time jobs, but manage to find the time to come out delivering literature in the evenings. Needy pensioners who are prepared to give up their last £1 in order to help what they see as the only political party that has the resolve to hold to the traditional values that they were brought up to believe in. Youngsters who have been bullied by their mates for bucking the trend and speaking out. And the ordinary decent, members of the public who have come up to me in the street to shake my hand, just to say ‘thank you for what you are doing.’
It’s not always easy to make our mark in life. And none of us can change the world. But we can each and all make a difference, right here and right now by doing what we can, however small or insignificant that deed may seem. Because what really matters is the sincerity, the spirit and the effort that is put into what you do. And if you really believe in what you are doing then the deed can only prosper both the person who does it and those whom it was intended to help.
I was brought up to believe that if something was worth having then it was something worth fighting for. And Britain, battered and betrayed as she has been in recent years, is still the country that our forbears built and battled for.
The beautiful prayer of Ignatius Loyola engenders something of the ethos of self-sacrifice and determination upon which our noble national identity was founded:
‘Teach us, good Lord, to serve Thee as Thou deservest,
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labour and not to ask for any reward,
Save that of knowing that we do Thy will’
I wouldn’t for one moment presume to assert that it’s God’s will that the BNP will be victorious in the Borough and constituency elections next year. But what I do believe is that the BNP is the Party of people that care for the well-being and future of our once Great Britain, and are not afraid to face the consequences of admitting it. And that has to be a praiseworthy calling.
So, a Happy and Healthy and Prosperous 2010 to all BNP supporters everywhere! And a hearty and heartfelt ‘thank you’ for everything you do to help our worthy Cause!
