== Crossbow == |
|||
I can't find anything about a 10th century Norse crossbow and I can't find this book you use as a reference. Do you have some other sources as well? [[User:Haukurth|Haukur]] 20:35, 24 October 2007 (UTC) |
|||
I found it on a website,which gave this book as its source,homepages.tesco/~tinyclanger/fitzgreyve/albini_equipment_crossbows-lockbow.htm or just google "skane lockbow". The battle of Hjorongavagr is also well known- as I am sure you know- and there may be information from accounts of this too |

Thank you for uploading [[:Image:Cross04.jpg]]. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright]] very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the '''license''' and the '''source''' of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a '''[[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|copyright tag]]''' to the [[Help:Image page|image description page]]. |

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]]. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. [[User:STBotI|STBotI]] 15:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC) |

A tag has been placed on [[:Lane End, Isle of Wight]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content. |
|||
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template '''<code>{{tl|hangon}}</code>''' to the article and state your intention on the article's [[Help:Talk page|talk page]].

==Your Isle of Wight articles== |
|||
Hi, thanks for the message you left me. You accidentally left it on my user page though, not my [[User talk:Stephenw32768|talk page]]! Easily done; I've made the same mistake myself in the past. |
|||
Regarding your short Isle of Wight articles; just make sure to indicate in the article that they refer to a place on the Isle of Wight, and include <nowiki>{{IsleofWight-geo-stub}}</nowiki> at the bottom if they're stubs. That way, you provide enough context. |
|||
Happy Wiki-ing! |

== Cunnan == |
|||
Hi Streona, and thanks for the message. Looking at that site, they are definitely using the [[Wiki]] software, which is freely available for anyone who wants it. This availability, and frustration with Wikipedia's rules on what does/doesn't belong in an encyclopedia, has led to people setting up hundreds of independent Wikis, many of them hosted on the same server ([[Wikia]]) but all of them separate from Wikipedia (some of the best known are [[Wookieepedia]] (the Star Wars wiki) and the World of Warcraft Wiki). This means the Cunnan Wiki is completely unrelated to Wikipedia; it just happens to use the same software - it was very good of you to correct the articles there, and hopefully it's appreciated, but obviously we have no oversight there. |
|||
As far as content goes, all Wikipedia articles are freely available for anyone to do anything they want with, including copy/change/try to sell/whatever. The only real restrictions are that any derivative work must be released under a similar free license to Wikipedia, and we must be credited somewhere. If the Cunnan site has used Wikipedia articles, or portions of them, they ''must'' give attribution somewhere on the site (usually a mention on each page that "this site contains material from Wikipedia..." is sufficient). If not, we can follow this up further as they would be in breach of copyright. Stuff that you've added to their site is licensed under their rules, so that wouldn't be covered. However, I think your note was more concerned with accuracy than plagarism - as I said, we have no say in how they run their Wiki, but from your message it's easy to see why they'd want to host their own stuff rather than fight through Wikipedia policies on accuracy and verification to get it on here ;) |
|||

==AfD nomination of [[Derek Beackon]]== |
|||
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|left|48px|]]An editor has nominated [[Derek Beackon]], an article on which you have worked or that you created, for [[Wikipedia:Deletion process|deletion]]. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "[[WP:NOT|What Wikipedia is not]]"). |
|||
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at {{#if:Derek Beackon | [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Derek Beackon]] | [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Derek Beackon]] }} and please be sure to [[WP:SIG|sign your comments]] with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). |
|||
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the [[WP:AfD|articles for deletion]] template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

== Pirates == |
|||
Hello there, and welcome to Wikipedia. I don't know if "Frontal lobe damage would cause a lack of inhibition in speech and behaviour often associated with pirates." is meant as a joke, but that whole section is more appropriate for the general article on [[Pirate]]s, than for [[International Talk Like a Pirate Day]]. It'd also be good if you could mention the source that you were drawing the information from, so that other editors could find out more about it. Thanks. --[[User:McGeddon|McGeddon]] ([[User talk:McGeddon|talk]]) 00:39, 9 January 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:If you've got a source, that's great, but this whole section should definitely be moved to the [[pirates]] article (or possibly [[pirates in popular culture]], which has a section about piratical speech). It's only about the international day in the sense of background information - it's really about ''pirates''. --[[User:McGeddon|McGeddon]] ([[User talk:McGeddon|talk]]) 11:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC) |

Hello, |
|||
I don't know if you noticed (I hope not), but I briefly blocked your account. It should be unblocked now; please try to edit the [[WP:Sandbox]] to see if you're unblocked. If there is a stray [[WP:Autoblock|autoblock]], please follow the directions on the autoblock notice, and someone will be by soon to help. |
|||
Explanation: you posted a reply on [[User talk:SineBot]] directly under a message from a known, serial vandal. Her style of writing is very distinctive. Since you posted "inside" her thread, so to speak, your edit summary had the title of her previous heading in it. I'm watching the page, saw that heading, and stupidly jumped to the conclusion that you had created the header. I just blocked out of reflex. When I went to see what else she had edited that I needed to revert, I noticed that everything looked, well, written by a rational human. Only then did I actually check the text of your message on SineBot's talk, and realize my mistake. |
|||
Hope you'll accept my apologies, and that this doesn't cause any complications in your editing. Sorry! --[[User:Barneca|barneca]] ([[User talk:Barneca|talk]]) 15:08, 18 May 2008 (UTC) |

== Fear == |
|||
"Because History is not Racism, - in fact Anglo-Saxon, like Celticism is not necessarily a race, but a culture and fear of who?" |
|||
It's both culture and race, you cannot separate the two. This is why England's culture of late consists almost entirely of rising racial and religious antagonism, petty crime and unfortunate teenage pregnancies. |
|||
You're afraid of admitting any truths because you don't want to look unpopular or illiberal. If you admit the existence of races, that makes you racist; if you admit the differences between sexes, that makes you sexist; if you admit there are differences in intellect between people, that makes you elitist; and so on and so on. Transcend this pathetic crowd play. |
|||
You've swallowed the liberal lie that protecting ones kin over any others in any form is wrong. The Anglo-Saxons you revere were not yet so gullible. [[User:Zxcvbispass|Zxcvbispass]] ([[User talk:Zxcvbispass|talk]]) 00:00, 19 July 2008 (UTC) |

==REPLY== |
|||
Whilst I am not prepared to go to zxcvbispass user page (which seems to have been especially created to edit the BNP article, especially as zxcvb occur together on the keyboard just as qwertyuiop does, so "sockpuppet" might be more appropriate) to have a discussion with these kind of people (in the words of Woody Allen in Annie Hall or Manhattan "We should attack them with satire and reasoning" "Yeah and take a few baseball bats to put our finer parts of logic across") -should he/she return to this page - this is the answer; |
|||
Recent DNA studies indicate that "English" people are descended from various roots, but mostly not Anglo-Saxon. Most appear to be from the stone age people who came after the Ice Age. The Anglo-Saxons do not appear to have wiped out the "Britons", mostly NOT Celts for the same reason, but to have interbred with them. The early Wessex kings had in some cases,very "British" or Welsh names such as Cerdic (which is the same as "Caractacus"), Caedwalla and English names such as "Aethelweah" ("noble foreigner") and Cenwalh ("bright foreigner"). The likelihood is that a small number of Anglo-Saxon men came over on boats and interbred with local women. Th Laws of Ine refer to differing wergilds for Britons as for Saxons. So from their inception the Anglo-Saxons were a mixed race. Alfred the Great was especially open to foreign ideas and sent an embassy to India and explorers to the Baltic. His whole strategy was based upon making piece between himself and the danes at the Peace of Wedmore. Early Archbishops of Canterbury - such as Theodore and Deodatus, were in fact Greek, and Athelstan's court in particular began our proud tradition - until destroyed by New Labour- of protecting refugees (such as Louis D'Outremer). The Early Church decreed that King Edwy's marriage to his foster-sister, Edgiva, was incestuous, due to being within (or in fact at) 9 degrees of consanguinity- which must have made miscegenation virtually compulsory. |
|||
King Ethelred the Unready in 1002 committed the St. Bric's Day Massacre against "Danish" civilians- which would no doubt make him a hero to the BNP- but which got him precisely nowhere. |
|||
I am, not necessarily proud of my ancestry, because it is something over which I have no control- but neither am I ashamed. I think Anglo-Saxon culture and language has given the World great cultural and scientific riches- not least the World Language of English and values such as stubborn resistance to fascism, tolerance, broad mindedness and all the things that make us Great that the BNP and their like so despise and would destroy. We have from our beginning been a mongrel race, our language a mongrel language and our culture a mongrel culture. Its called "hybrid vigour". |

==Proposed deletion of Redress (charitable organisation)== |

[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]] |
|||
A [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] template has been added to the article [[Redress (charitable organisation)]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion|criteria for inclusion]], and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia's deletion policy]]). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on [[Talk:Redress (charitable organisation)|its talk page]]. |
|||
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion process]], the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]] or it can be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion]], where it may be deleted if [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] to delete is reached.<!-- Template:PRODWarning --> [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] ([[User talk:J Milburn|talk]]) 11:19, 22 August 2008 (UTC) |

[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left]]I have nominated [[Redress (charitable organisation)]], an article you created, for [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion]]. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Redress (charitable organisation)]]. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns.

:Yeah, sorry, I realised you'd done that and added a comment to the AfD page clarifying that. The article is now at AfD, so you'll have to convince people there that the article should be kept, rather than me. [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] ([[User talk:J Milburn|talk]]) 13:15, 22 August 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:Hi, |
|||
:If you're going to prevent the article from being deleted, you need to do more than just post on the talk page. The page is deleted or kept based on the discussion found at the AFD (Articles For Deletion, [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Redress (charitable organisation)|here]]). You must make your argument based on our policies, not on bare assertions; in this case the policy is [[WP:AFD|articles for deletion]], and the relevant guidelines are at [[WP:CORP|notability for organizations]] - you should also review [[WP:ATA|arguments to avoid]]. |
|||
:The short version is - find press and other media that are ''independent'' of the organization, that mention it. Ideally that discuss it in detail. If [[The Times]] did an article, you're pretty golden, so long as it's not just a mere mention. Add them to the page, and point out on the AFD discussion that you have done so. One argument to avoid is "torture is really bad, and this organization is against torture, so it's really important". That's one that we see a lot.

==BNP Councillors== |
|||
Out of 55 councillors the BNP have lost a number due to expulsions and splits. These are |
|||
Simon Smith - expelled from the BNP due to supporting a different leadership candidate |
|||
Peter Pirnie- co-opted to Kingswear Parish Council, this co-option was rescinded due to his being a member of the BNP. |
|||
Colin Auty- expelled for standing against Griffin for leadership |
|||
Robin Evans |
|||
Maureen Stowe |
|||
Sadie Graham - expelled for "rebellion" against Griffin |
|||
Cllr Chris Beverley (Yorkshire Elections Officer, Leeds Organiser & Advisory Council Member) |
|||
Cllr Dave Brown (Broxtowe) |
|||
Cllr Nina Brown (East Mids Regional Secretary & Broxtowe Organiser) |
|||
Cllr Roger Robertson (South East Regional Organiser & Advisory Council Member) - co opted Hartney Witley in |
|||
Hampshire |
|||
==Councillors== |
|||
From their ranks of up to 55 councillors the BNP have lost a substantial proportion through resignations expulsions and splits. |
|||
The BNP councillors have particular disadvantages which many other councillors do not have. Instances of various misdemeanours are closely watched by opponents and widely advertised- although all councillors will face scrutiny from opposing parties locally. When the first BNP councillor, Derek Beackon was elected in the Isle of Dogs, local council staff staged a mass walkout. He found himself isolated from officers and councillors, most of whom refused to speak to him at all, making it especially difficult to understand the workings of the council and impaired his effectiveness. Others have had similar experiences, which has often resulted in exceptionally poor attendance records and disillusionment. Some have been obstructed by official actions against them and been prevented from fulfilling their dutues by suspension or by bail conditions. However as the party increases its pool of experienced councillors this could be improved from their point of view, although the actions of existing councillors have not produced any positive role models as yet. |
|||
The internal party democracy of the BNP has been criticised by members for giving too much power to the Chairman and for not being widely available for the membership to consult. In 2007 a leadership challenge to Griffin by Colin Auty |
|||
http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/dewsbury-news/Auty-quits-after-BNP-leadership.4455958.jp |
|||
and previously by Colin Jackson resulted in resignations and expulsions of their supporters and 67 senior activists including many councillors resigning the whip after Councillor Nina Brown claimed that BNP Security had misled her into giving them the key to the home of fellow BNP councillor Sadie Graham in order to ransack it, searching for evidence of her support for Auty's leadership bid. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2007/dec/18/politics.thefarright |
|||
Others, such as Daniel Kelly in Barking & Dagenham or Angela Clarke in Keighley, have resigned due to "not understanding what was going on" . |
|||
Some have been suspended from the council. Luke Smith (a Burnley councillor) was expelled for glassing another BNP reveller at the 2003 Red. White And Blue Festival and was banned from being a councillor by the Standards Board for England, following his being banned from football matches for hooliganism. (Luke Smith later hanged himself in 2008). |

|||
Smith's uncle Simon Smith was himself suspended for the racialist content of his website, before leaving the BNP in support of Sadie Graham. He said of Luke Smith,(who was awaiting sentencing for beating up a barman before he hanged himself outside the pub). |
|||
“He was a lovely, lovely lad who, like a lot of people, was just too sensitive to exist in what is effectively an extremely cruel world." |

|||
Others have become disenchanted with the BNP itself. |
|||
In September 2007, Robin Evans, a BNP councillor in Blackburn, walked out of the party, then wrote a letter to his former colleagues denouncing them as a party of drug-dealers and football hooligans. He remains a councillor, describing himself as a "national socialist". |

James Lloyd, a BNP councillor in Sandwell was suspended for not attending enough council meetings. |

|||
As the BNP has yet to gain power in any locality, it has not yet had the opportunity to show its policies in action. However any policy explicitly based on treating ethnic minorities less favourably would have to comply with national legislation designed to prevent such policies, which would constrain the freedom of action of such a council. |

The BNP has a track record of thrying to suppress manifestations of Islam. It does not mention this specifically in its manifesto, but it endoeses a book by one of its members entitled "Jihad- Islam's 13oo year war against the West" the final chapter of which propese the "hard choices" to be made to save Western Christian Civilsation. Unfortunately I am not privy to precisely what that might be, but I think we know who it will be hard for. Fellow European fascists- such as the Danish People's Party- advocate a total ban on Islam altoopgether. |

[[Simone Clarke]] is a principal ballerina at the [[English National Ballet]] and a deputy for the entertainer's union [[Equity]]. Her membership of the BNP was unknown until exposed by an undercover Guardian journalist in 2006. Her performances were picketted by anti-fascists demanding her sacking. However the ENB refused to do so, as she had done nothing else to warrant this. She was supported by her union Equity. |

Potter v PS |
|||
17. This argument, it should be pointed out, is not on all fours with Redfearn. Redfearn establishes that it is not direct discrimination on grounds of race to discriminate against somebody because they are a BNP member. Here discrimination arises from the different treatment that is afforded to white racist organisations as opposed to members of racist organisations which are non-white. Mr Barnes relies strongly on the observations of Lord Steyn, to which I have made reference, and submits that it would be wrong in this case to shut out the Claimant at this stage without giving him an opportunity to marshal such evidence as he has to make good his allegation. |

First Sikh joins Solidarity 20/04/07 |
|||
Opponents of the Independent Trade Union Solidairit have falsely claimed that it was 'racist'. This is despite the fact that their very Constitution makes it clear that it is open to all regardless of political opinion, ethnicity or faith. The Union (supported by Third Way) stands for freedom and for the rights of all British Workers. This month they welcomed thier first Sikh member. Pramjit Sadra explained his reasons for joining Solidarity:- |
|||
"I have been aware of the shift of work away from ordinary British people which I feel undermines our communities. The shift toward cheap migrant workers and off-shoring, if allowed to continue will totally change this Nation. The effects have already been felt by many in the UK losing work to cheaper labour or suppressing wages, which does not just affect one individual but their immediate family and children, extended family and the communities they have long been part of. |
|||
We are at best an overcrowded Nation that cannot sustain the influx of many Nationalities without the infrastructure to employ, house and integrate into our communities. Furthermore there is no recognition of the impact of importing cultures, including those with a violent/aggressive way of life, upon settled communities." |
|||
Let's hope that Pramjit is the first of many and that Solidarity grows both in strength and diversity of support. |

BNP members have suffered various difficulties in employment. |
|||
lobbied for BNP members to be dismissed. |
|||
In the case of [[ASLEF v. United Kingdom]] the European Court of Human Rights overturned an employment appeal tribunal finding, awarding a BNP train driver damages for expulsion. It found that the union were entitled to do so, and that this was not a breach of the [[European Convention on Human Rights]]. |
|||
In the case of ''Baggs v. Fudge'' (2005)UKET, Robert Baggs, represented by he BNP legal officer, Lee Barnes, claimed that he had been discriminated against on the grounds of "religion, or similar philosophical belief" (contrary to the Employment (Religious Discrimination) Regulations 2003, when applying for a job at a G.P. surgery. The Employment Tribunal found that membership of the BNP was not a "similar" belief, and the case was rejected. |

Advice from Stuart Chamberlain of Gee Consult, management consultants has been that a similar case might be successful since the removal of the qualification "similar" from philosophical belief by an amendment in 2007. -"Cases concerning claims made by British National Party’s (BNP) members that their fascist beliefs were similar to religious beliefs have previously been decided in favour of the employer or potential employer. However, under the new law, a strong argument could be made to the contrary." |
|||
<ref>http://www.consultgee.com/aboutus/press_ReligiousDiscrimination.html</ref> |
|||
However, this has not been tested and there is a clause in the regulations which provide that the beliefs of employees may be required to be in line with the "ethos" of the organisation. |
|||
Mr.Redfearn was a bus driver whose BNP membership was unknown to his employers, Serco, until he was elected as a councillor. He was sacked as the employers were concerned that he might endanger their contract with a local authotity to transport vulnerable people from a day centre of various ethnicities. The decision in ''Redfearn v.Serco'' (2006 CA) is summarised thus; |
|||
"where an employee who is a member of a racist group (in this case the BNP political party) is dismissed because of the danger that his continuing employment might lead to violence in the workplace, the dismissal can properly be regarded as being for legitimate health and safety reasons and will not be unlawful race discrimination." |

Membership of the BNP, [[C18]] and the [[National Front]] was specifically by David Blunkett, following an undercover TV exposure of racism in a police training centre. Despite this Simon Darby has claimed that the BNP still has members who remain covert. Police authorities have taken this very seriously and Manchester Police Authority have viewed footage taken at BNP events in order to identify off-duty officers in attendance at a BNP St.George's Day rally, wearing BNP badges and T-shirts, with the slogan "Love Britain or Fuck Off". |

A retired police officer, standing as a European Assembly candidate, Inspector Phazey, has said that he was a member in defiance of the prohibition and that other serving officers remained members. |
|||
He denied that he was a racist or that the police were institutionally racist, saying; |
|||
"Of course you heard words like paki and nigger, but it didn't mean much more than someone saying paddy for an Irishman or jerry for a German. It was just the language of working-class blokes. There was a fair bit of leg-pulling but it was never malicious. I remember there was one officer who, whenever an Asian officer came into the room, would go, 'Coon, coon,' like he was making the noise of a pigeon. But it was a joke. It's like saying paddies are as thick as two short planks or jocks are tight-fisted. It was just jokes in the canteen. You'll get that anywhere when you have men in their 20s and 30s together." |

The national spokesman for the BNP, Dr Phill Edwards, yesterday cast doubt on whether the Internet blogs could be linked to Mr Birch. He said: "The blogs appear to be a debate about historical matters which have no relevance to the political campaigning currently being sucessfully undertaken by the BNP. "Neither do the blogs show 'Nazi sympathies' but are part of a debate. As far as Plymouth University is concerned, by taking away his wardenship they are breaking their traditional role of allowing freedom of political association, political debate and instead have adopted a totalitarian stance. Liam tells me that on matters of 'Holocaust denial', like the rest of us, he must accept it as a fundamental truth or face arrest and prosecution by the EU police Europol." He added: "Liam is not anti-semitic and his girlfriend is half Jewish." |

== RE: BNP Offensive vandalism == |

Thanks for that. Fact is, I've been away from Wikipedia for most of the last two months and have hardly shown my face. Got back to find this on my talk page: |
|||
:"''You are a self centred sanctimonious son orf a bitch, who will not allow any edit that disagrees with your own narrow minded point of view on any page at all. You are the worst person I have ever encountered and brand other users as racist or fascist, without any form of proof or evidence. You fail under all ciscumstances to recognise that somebody could be right other than you. You rely on being over the top, heavy handed and rude. You never focus soley on thesubstance of the discussion, you instead revert to cheap point scoring and will attack users, violate rules on biographies of living people and allways push your POV and ram it down other users throats. You should have been banned a long long time ago and have had all access to giving an opinion removed. I hope that one day you learn that you cannot get away with antagonising other users and get your comuppance in a big way.''" |

Re ASLEF case, the Court's judgement merely says "''The applicant was represented by Thompsons, solicitors practising in London''". The full text is [http://cmiskp.echr.coe.int/tkp197/view.asp?item=1&portal=hbkm&action=html&highlight=Associated%20%7C%20Society%20%7C%20of%20%7C%20Locomotive%20%7C%20Engineers%20%7C%20Firemen%20%7C%20v.%20%7C%20the%20%7C%20United%20%7C%20Kingdom&sessionid=14274949&skin=hudoc-en here].

:Unfortunately that edit pretty much sums up my attitude towards you. Independent assessment has found the BNP article to be biased against them, and ytou continue to make it even more biased. Alleging that an old man who once fought to save your country has Alzheimer's simply because he now holds a view you disagree with is nothing short of appalling, as was the assertion that the BNP would have been on Hitler's side during World War 2. I'm no BNP cheerleader and can't defend the more extreme aspects of their views, but let's try to make a balanced article. If you're as strongly openly anti-something as you state, maybe not contributing to the BNP page would be a better move for everybody.--[[User:MartinUK|MartinUK]] ([[User talk:MartinUK|talk]]) 20:35, 24 March 2009 (UTC) |

==Redfearn== |
|||
I could not find an online copy of the Court of Appeal judgement of Lord Justice Mummery Redfearn V. Serco (2006) IRLR 623, but it is quoted in a briefing paper by John Hendy QC and Michael Ford on [[ASLEF v. United Kingdom]] thus |
|||
"... the dismissal of Mr.Redfearn was not on racial grounds but because the former employer...wished to avoid the perceived deterimental effects of Mr.Redfearn's membership of, and election to office representing thje BNP, which propagated racially discriminatory policies concerning non-white races who form part of (the employer's)workforce and customer base..." |
|||
This is the definition of racism, so in reply to h2g2Bob's request for a source from higher up the legal hierarchy than a tribunal - here it is. Barnes (one of the 3 members of the "ethnic laison committee" of which onlt Rustem can claim to be "ethnic"- the other being Colin Smith)self desribed the BNP as whites only. |
|||
I cannot say that Barnes self- described them as racist, but Mummery LJ in his judgement holds that they are. |
|||
http://www.ier.org.uk/system/files/ASLEF+v+UK+final+for+website+corr+by+jh1.pdf |
|||
Also of note from Hendy's article was a quote from British Nationalist 2003 encouraging BNP members to try to join trade unions in order to get thrown out and claim "five figure damages" and to get on the "gravy-train" before the "lefties" got too scared to expel them. This was used by Hendy in the ASLEF case.--[[User:Streona|Streona]] ([[User talk:Streona#top|talk]]) 17:58, 7 October 2008 (UTC) |

==Cardell Goodman== |
|||
Cardell (or "Cardonnel") Goodman, known as "Scum" from his University days, was the son of a clergyman also called Cardell Goodman. He was born in.. At the age of three he moved to the Isle of Wight where his father became Vicar of Freshwater,succeeding the father of Robert Hooke. Cardell attended Trinity College Cambridge, obtaining the nickname "Scum" but was sent down for slashing a portrait of the College's Chancellor, the Duke of Monmouth. |
|||
He made his living an actor until killing a fellow actor with whom he shared a shirt in a dispute over whose turn it was to wear it. |
|||
Scum then became the lover of the Duchess of Cleveland (or one of them) and attempted to displace her sons as her heir by attempting to poison them. |
|||
On bering discovered he left for a new career as a highwayman. he was subsequently caught but was pardoned by James II. |
|||
He repaid the favour by becoming involved in Jacobite plots to restore James -The Assassination Plot of 1695/6 and the Fenwick Plot, to assassinate William III. Sir John Fenwick's wife paid Goodman and his friend Porter not to goive evidence against him in his treason trial. Porter took the money and left the country. Goodman took the money but still gave evidence. However without two witnesses Fenwick was not convicted. Nonetheless a law was passed by Act of Attainder declaring him guilty and he was executed. Goodman fled to Paris where he was supported by English exiles until his death. |

I reverted your recent edit about immigrants on boats, for two reasons.

==Whites Only== |
|||
The Equality and Human Rights Commission took an action against the BNP regarding provisions in its constitution to limit eligibilty for membership to "whites only", defined as members of the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic "Folk Communities". The original hearing before Judge Paul Collins in the Central London County Court on 2 September 2009 was adjourned due to the BNP failure to instruct counsel, resulting in the BNP being required to pay eighty thousand pounds in costs. BNP representatives claimed that among the intentions of the EHRC was to bankrupt the party by legal costs. Griffin then circulated membership to explain that that they would be conceding the case since it could cost upto a million pounds to take it to the House of Lords. On 15 October 2009 the BNP agreed before Judge Collins to suspend further membership applications until an Extraordinary General Meeting in January 2010 confirming the changes to the constitution to comply with legal requirements. The case has been further adjourned until 28 January 2010 in ored to ensure compliance. |

== [[Michal Morey]] article == |
|||
Hi, Streona. I was directed to your fascinating article by an Australian Morey with several generations of Isle-of-Wight family history. I've also visited the island recently myself, and used one of my photos in an update of the [[Quarr Abbey]] article. While copy-editing (which I hope you'll check over), I found that the Michal Morey piece was surprisingly lacking in authoritative inline sources , though there must be plenty of book references in libraries. The website refs are interesting but not 'official' or historiographically 'reliable' enough for Wikipedia. Do you have the book ''For Rooks and Ravens''? That looks to be the best one referred to in the article. It would be very helpful to have a few inline references to the book instead of only websites, don't you think? Also, if you go over there from time to time, it would be good to have a photo in there, say, of the mound, or the gibbet, or the pub.
