Black police officer 'wore traditional African robe to work in protest over dress code'

DC Paul Bailey, unlike more than 100,000 ordinary policemen, decided he didn't want to wear a necktie to work, and staged a bizarre protest by coming to work in traditional African robes!

His protest came after a number of disputes with senior officers over his behaviour and attitude on the force.
After a disgreement over his work appraisal, the detective accused five senior officers at Greater Manchester Police of racial discrimination.
A full investigation in his claims was launched but his complaint was later found to be unsubstantiated.
Senior officers then launched a two-year inquiry into the behaviour of the detective which last week, when he was found guilty of wearing the robe, arguing with a senior officer over the force policy on neck ties, disputing his appraisal in an unprofessional way and appearing to look disinterested during briefings.
The panel found the incidents represented a 'continuing course of conduct' and that over a long period of time his "behaviour was unacceptable", but also ruled he should not face any disciplinary action!
And that verdict says all there is to say about the continuing decline in professional standards of police officers and the inability of the police force to effectively discipline anyone regardless of their offence thanks to the Race Relations Act and the Human Rights Act!
You want to join the police force but can't be bothered obeying the rules? - claim "discrimination" and waste hundreds of police hours and tens of thousands of taxpayers money!
You don't get promoted to the No.1 position? - sue for millions of pounds on the grounds of "discrimination"!
And so it goes on and on - while on the streets and in the real world, real people who pay the wages of these people are being murdered, raped, assaulted, mugged - but where are the police?
At another senseless and pointless tribunal hearing because someone claimed that being asked to appear smart and professional was "discrimination"!

Police arrest 16 after brutal attack on war veteran

Detectives investigating the burglary and assault of a war veteran in Pendle have arrested 16 people. If found guilty a BNP government would make these people wish they hadn't been born.

Officers made the arrests in an operation in the Blackpool area.Sixteen men aged 17 to 55 have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit burglary and will be interviewed at police stations in Burnley and Blackburn.Detectives launched an investigation after an incident in the early hours of Monday, in Salterforth.War veteran Bob Schofield (89) and his wife Mollie (87) were asleep in bed when intruders entered their home. Bob confronted the intruders and was beaten repeatedly, causing facial injuries. Mrs Schofield was not physically injured, but was left shocked.The couple, who were discovered by relatives, were taken by ambulance to Airedale Hospital where Bob remains. Mollie is being cared for at a nearby care home. Their condition is said to be improving slowly.

Bulldozers move into the Great Marsden Hotel

The Great Marsden

Jimmy Nelson's Sports Club

Pendle council’s relentless drive to destroy every last vestige of any Architectural Britishness in Nelson continues unabated with yet another one of the town's best-loved buildings about to be demolished.

The Great Marsden Hotel - once the home of cotton king Amos Nelson and later a home for the blind - will be bulldozed to make way for a new 70-bed nursing care home.
Despite previous attempts by local residents to have these buildings listed, the Lib/Lab councillors threw out these proposals in favour of demolition. Over the past few years, Nelson has lost a series of impressive buildings, like Salem Chapel, the Grand Cinema and Jimmy Nelson's Sports Club.
The once proud British Legion Building on Railway St has now been converted to a garish coloured Mosque. Permission has also recently been granted by Pendle council to convert the impressive Silverman Hall right in the centre of Nelson into yet another Mosque.Any day now, work will begin on knocking down the old grammar school, while the old Nelson Leader print works in Every Street and Edge End High School in Hibson Road will go soon and the former Regent Cinema is becoming more derelict.Sir Amos Nelson, whose family ran the Valley Mills cotton empire in Southfield Street, Nelson, whose initials remain on mosaic flooring in the main entrance, built the Great Marsden.The Nelsons then gave it as a home for the blind, which it remained for many years.In 1969, it was taken over by a very different textile family - the Warrens. As King Cotton died in Lancashire, the Warrens were involved in exporting textile equipment across the world.

Victory for BNP as Liverpool Police Drop all Charges against Activists

Thousands of ‘Racism Cuts Both Ways’ booklets and other BNP leaflets were distributed in a co-ordinated day of campaigning in the city centre, which saw the Truth Truck and three other A-frame advertising vehicles sweep through large parts of the surrounding suburbs, all proudly carrying the party’s message to thousands of well wishers. The BNP activists on foot - which included party chairman Nick Griffin, deputy leader Simon Darby, Greater London Assembly member Richard Barnbrook - then converged on the city centre at around midday, occupying one of the major pedestrianised intersections.There, with flags flying, the BNP activists, which included an age range spread from pensioners to youngsters, continued distributing leaflets and recruiting from members of the public. A small crowd of bussed-in leftists were kept at bay by a police presence.After an hour and half, the BNP crowd moved to the steps of St. George’s Hall in the city centre, where Mr Griffin gave a short address, pointing out that it was the preparedness of the BNP activists to be arrested en masse which had driven the police to withdraw all charges against the ‘Liverpool 13' earlier in the day.

Which Faith does our Church defend?

It seems incredible to us that those leaders of the Christian Church here in Britain so determined to appease Islam in our country, appear so apparently ignorant of the suffering of their co-religionists in the Serbian province of Kosovo!
Are they not aware, for instance, that since KFOR took responsibility for the province that around two hundred Christian churches, monasteries, shrines and other sites of worship have been systematically destroyed or otherwise desecrate, in what can only be seen as an organised campaign of cultural cleansing?
Can they really be unaware that quite apart from the great many Christians who have been murdered, raped, robbed and mutilated over the last nine years, that hundreds of thousands more have been driven from their homes and forced to flee for their lives by the adherents of the very religion that they go to such lengths to defend? Many would regard this as ethnic cleansing!
Do they seriously believe that Kosovo marks the end of Islamic expansion in Europe and are truly ignorant of Islamicist designs on adjoining areas of Serbia and Macedonia – both having very significant Islamic communities?
Do they really believe there will ever be peace in the Balkans whilst there are those amongst the Religion of “Piece” who, because of “recognition”, will now be encouraged to seek another piece of Serbia, another piece of Macedonia, another piece of Bosnia, another piece of Montenegro etc?
Is our Church, here in Britain, led by fools, ignoramuses or merely third-columnists?

The Green man. Symbol of man's connection to nature.

The enigmatic and often disturbing foliate heads and masks which adorn many of our churches are pagan in origin, albeit Roman and Greek paganism, and can be found in all corners of what was the Roman Empire. The Green Man has been adopted world-wide with some stunning sixth century representations to be found in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum.
However, the Green Man has found a special and intriguing place in British history in the past thousand years or so. He flourished throughout England in Medieval times, and he is also infamously seen at the Rosslyn Chapel (mid fifteenth century) in Midlothian, Scotland where he has a part to play in a storm of controversy and conspiracy theories.
The first carvings of foliate heads originated in Roman art during the second half of the first century AD. These early foliate heads and masks were usually adorned with acanthus leaves, a common plant in the Mediterranean at the time.
Foliate heads made an appearance at Neumagen in Germany carved on the sarcophagi of wine merchants during the second and third centuries. As Kathleen Basford wonders in her book ‘The Green Man’, this “perhaps recalls the ancient rustic festivals held in honour of Dionysos where revellers stained their faces with new wine and masked them with huge beards made out of leaves.”
However, the Green Man didn’t make his first appearance in Britain until the eleventh century where he put down roots in the Church and adapted his leafy structure to the English way of life, incorporating oak leaves, hawthorn, ivy and hops during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
In twelfth century churches such as St John the Evangelist, (Elkstone, Gloucestershire) and St Leonard, (Linley, Shropshire) the Green Man is crudely depicted in the stonework, but in St Mary and St David (Kilpeck, Herefordshire) the doorway carvings are beautifully chiselled in intricate detail.
The Green man began life in Britain and countries north of the Alps as a diabolical figure. In Exeter Cathedral he is depicted as being trodden upon by The Virgin, but without knowing the artist’s motives we can only guess at what he was trying to portray. Perhaps it is the triumph of Christianity over paganism or the triumph of ‘higher’ man over his animal nature. The Green Man has also been portrayed as the three-headed Satan (Triceps Beelzebub, the Trinity of Evil) which shows evidence of being perpetuated in Scandinavia but is comparatively rare in Britain. Fifteenth century examples of the unholy Trinity can be found in the Green Man’s portrayal as a devil in Chester Cathedral and as a crowned tricephalos at Cartmel Priory, Cumbria.
The Green Man branched out and flourished within the confines of the Church across Europe in the thirteenth century with unusual and startling depictions in Bamberg Cathedral, Germany and in Auxerre Cathedral, France. The former is in stone - a rectangular, almost stylised portrait of the Green Man - with an indescribable, yet knowing, expression, while in Auxerre he peers down at the congregation in bewilderment.
Nowadays, the Green Man is claimed as belonging to various groups, from neo-Pagans to certain occult societies. The worship of nature and the worship of the severed head certainly have places in British folk-lore and customs stretching back in time and a recurring character is Jack in the Green. He is also known as the Grass King, King of the May, the Wild Man, King of the Wood and more, and it can be said that in any of these incarnations he represents the spirit of vegetation. Frazer’s ‘The Golden Bough’ cites many examples of customs pertaining to Jack in the Green, too numerous to mention, but suffice it to say that the custom of beheading a foliate man effigy at the vernal equinox is persistent throughout Europe.
We can only guess at the reasons why the Church adopted the Green Man and in what context their architects meant him to be portrayed. In more recent centuries he has captured the public imagination as can be seen by the number of pubs bearing his name. However, as artists and pagans alike continue with their fascination with the Green Man it seems that we haven’t outgrown him yet nor completely forgotten that we are, like him, enmeshed with our natural surroundings.

Politically motivated Police raids on local BNP members.

Four BNP activists from Blackburn and Nelson were interviewed by police yesterday over perfectly legal leaflets after ‘internal pressure from the Muslim Police Association’ a senior police source has said.Brian Parker, Robin Evans, Tony Bamber and Lee Karner — all hardworking BNP activists, were detained by police in Gestapo-like dawn raids yesterday, and taken to Burnley police station for ‘interviews under caution.’ They were released at 5pm yesterday and unconditionally bailed until February next year.The leaflets that sparked off the detentions were a local one linking Muslim gangs to the heroin trade, and the BNP’s national Islam leaflet (download your own copy by clicking here).Both leaflets are perfectly legal, having been thoroughly vetted. The local heroin leaflet was in fact already the subject of an investigation by the Crown Prosecution Service, who ruled definitively that it was legal.The CPS’s made the decision not to prosecute over the leaflet, however a source within the Police has let us know the decision to make the arrests was made higher up the chain of command and not at a local level, confirming what we already know to be a politically motivated move.

The leaflet, which points out the preponderance of Islamic gangs in the heroin trade and the fact that the majority of heroin comes from Pakistan and Afghanistan — did not sit well with the National Association of Muslim Police (Christians need not apply) who have instigated a renewed investigation, according to a police source.BNP leader Nick Griffin and several dozen activists from the local area and around the country (including, but not limited to, Andrew and Peter Tierney from Liverpool, who brought their now-famous A-frame vehicle; Adam Walker and a small team from the North East; and Derek Adams from Manchester) demonstrated outside Burnley police station until late.“We received a fantastic response from the public,” Mr Griffin said. “One member of the public stopped, found out what was going on, and, so incensed at the outrage, complained to the police and gave the BNP a £100 donation on the spot,” he said.The BNP will, of course, fight this travesty of justice, and, just like the media coverage given to the supposed membership list “leak,” this latest attempt to demonise the party will blow back in its originators’ faces.

Police probe machete attack at 21st birthday party

A GANG of youths rolled up with machetes, baseball bats and snooker cues in an "altercation" with party guests outside Nelson Cricket Club.
Police said up to 100 people, including families with children, were at the 21st birthday celebration on Friday night when the "nasty incident" occurred, leaving three people needing hospital treatment and others as "walking wounded".
Originally three Asian men arrived in a red Honda Civic Type R at 10-45 p.m. and argued with smokers outside the club before driving away, only to return 30 minutes later with up to a dozen Asian males in more cars, brandishing baseball bats, and knives plus other weapons.One man from the party was left with 40 stiches to the face , another a suspected broken hand and a third with severe bruising. All were treated at Royal Blackburn Hospital.Police are still seeking the initial three occupants of the red car and are asking for anyone with information to come forward.Det. Insp. Sion Hall said: "It was a really nasty job."However, he isn't treating it as a racially motivated attack. "We're cautious at the moment as to what sparked it off," he said. "Just because Asians and whites have been fighting doesn't necessarily make it a racially-motivated incident, but if that is later the case then it will be reflected in the charges."Police said the armed gang fled when they were outnumbered by guests from inside the venue, and the red Honda hit a woman as they "erratically" sped away.Others were treated for minor injuries at Burnley General Hospital. All have since been discharged and are currently recovering.DI Hall added: "I would appeal for the occupants of the red Honda to come and speak to the police."Two local Asian men from the Briarfield area were arrested and charged with the attack shortly after the incident. but for reasons only known to the Police were later released on bail.

Remembrance in the Rain at Nelson and Colne

The dedication shown by so many BNP branches across Britain paying homage to the fallen on Remembrance Day is exemplified by Pendle BNP.
The Pendle Branch remembered our glorious war dead at Colne in the morning and Nelson in the afternoon by laying crosses on behalf of the British National Party at both services. Pendle BNP’s two serving councillors, Cllr Brian Norton Parker and Cllr Adam Grant attended both services in the most atrocious of weather.
The picture shows just some of the determined BNP members who defied the inclement weather to attend, fully aware of the gallantry of those servicemen who faced far worse than mere rain and wind.

EU endorses Halal cruelty

The HYPOCRITICAL European Commission has proposed new rules to “improve the welfare of animals during their slaughter” according to media reports. Yet in the same breath as this body tells us about their plans to “improve animal welfare during slaughter” they inform us that barbaric Halal slaughter will be allowed to continue!
Where is the logic in that we ask?
And whilst slaughterhouses will be monitored more frequently to ensure pre-slaughter stunning techniques are effective – no such considerations are to be extended to those unfortunate beasts destined for a slow Halal death.
According to one EU Commissioner for Health: “These proposals will make a real difference to the way animals are treated at the time of slaughter, as well as promoting innovation and providing a level playing field for operators” – not for the millions of cattle, sheep, lambs, goats and poultry facing inane ritual slaughter it won’t!
Meanwhile the senior policy advisor to Compassion in World Farming, Peter Stevenson, whilst welcoming the proposals said that they did not go far enough to protect animals. He is reported as saying in respect of Halal slaughter: “Whilst we fully respect religious beliefs, this should not extend to permitting a slaughter method that causes pain and distress.”
So the “bottom line” remains as before – whilst mainstream slaughter methods are to be tightened up in the interest of animal welfare – practitioners of Halal slaughter can legally continue to subject millions of beasts to a slow barbaric death in the name of religion!
As an aside, the silence of all those Labour MPs who voted for a ban on fox hunting professing their opposition to animal cruelty is, as they say, deafening. Then again the Labour Party, every bit as much as the CONservatives, are increasingly dependent upon certain ethnic minorities in terms of votes and money.
Land & People joins with the British National Party in demanding an end to this, the most prolific form of animal cruelty practised in Britain, and a ban on the importation of all meat products derived from the obscenity that is ritual slaughter
