The passing of a British hero

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of Douglas Tidy. One of the last of "The Few", Douglas was a World War II Royal Air Force member who flew in Wellington bombers.

Douglas joined the British National Party in 2004 "in order," he said "to show the British people the true face of the the BNP."

"I was proud to have fought for this nation during World War II and by joining the BNP, I am still fighting for the freedom and identity of the British people. It is the only party of common sense," he said at the time.

Last year, at the age of 86, he appeared alongside Nick Griffin at the Battle for Britain fundraising road show held in the South West (pictured above right).

Douglas spent his final years at the Officers' Association Country Home at Bishopsteignton in Devon overlooking the River Teign estuary.

"It is a lovely place with a superb garden in which I can walk, and my room looks out over the river. I am truly blessed to have come to this haven of peace in the autumn of my life," Douglas told the British National Party's newspaper Freedom last year.

With the passing of Douglas Tidy, another British hero rests in eternal peace. Millions of heroes, just like Douglas, faced bombs, bullets, tanks, aircraft, death and suffering so that you and I could enjoy life in a free Britain. They fought for Britain - now it is up to us!

Don't we owe it to our War Heroes to up the pace and sacrifice that little bit more in order to achieve a breakthrough on May 6th?

Don't we owe it to our parents and grand-parents, now the torch of British freedom has passed to our generation, to show the same dedication, spirit and fortitude that they showed in our defence?

Think, right now: don't you have a relative that fought for Britain in the Second World War, or any war since then? Don't you owe it to them to help the BNP achieve a breakthrough on May 6th?

Hero denied a home after leaving Army

I am away for the weekend and decide to leave the internet alone for a few days, but having seen a story in today’s newspapers I just had to let you know about it.

The picture is of hero Private Joe McDonald who last year left the army after nine years. During his service he completed a gruelling seven month tour of Southern Iraq. He laid his life on the line to fight insurgents while protecting Army convoys carrying food, ammunition and kit to troops in UK bases.

On his return, Private McDonald applied for housing for his family (himself, wife Rachel,21, and children Ellen-May,4, Harry-Joe, 19 months, and baby Maissy-Ann) in Bexley, South-east London, where he grew up.

He was turned down.

According to the council he ‘made himself homeless’ by leaving Army quarters and was placed at the back of the housing associations queue behind unemployed, single mothers, criminals freed from prison and asylum seekers.

So what happened to the Ministry of Defence’s pledge to give fairer treatment to forces’ families over accommodation?

Use your vote wisely when the General Election is called as it is Labour that is behind the problem; they are the ones that have allowed our country to become what it is today. A country rife with crime, flooded with criminals and  international benefit seekers, spring-boarded above the people they should be helping...
