Today 24th January,
BNP representatives from across South Wales, visited Neath town centre, which has been a Labour stronghold and is the constituency of
Peter Hain MP, “
most famous for the £103 000 he forgot to declare ” where a stall was set up to distribute BNP literature, including a local leaflet still wet from the printers, complete with a glaring but “
too late to change”, typing error, alongside a selection of standard leaflets, and a pile of
Voice of Freedom’s and
Identity monthly magazines,
With several BNP organisers, councillors, and activists from Newport to Cross Hands, including a couple of fluent Welsh speakers manning the stall, and able to answer any questions the public might have, another small team of activists set off to leaflet the area from Victoria Gardens to King Street, delivering over a thousand leaflets.
Several thousand leaflets were also handed out at the stall, along with dozens of magazines and VoF’s.
The whole event was filmed by
S4C, who also spent some time with the leafleting team whilst they were leafleting, and though the journalist from S4C spoke to many of the people passing by the stall during the morning, he did not get a single negative response, much to his surprise, everyone he spoke to indicated a belief in, and an agreement with, BNP policies in general.
The local press also decided to pay us a visit, whilst the stall was running, and conducted an interview with the Wales Organiser, we wonder how the printed article will finally read though.
We have had quite a good relationship with S4C to date, and hope that their unbiased reporting will continue, an even hand is all we ask, the simple truth is enough, and in this we have found S4C to be fair, not only to us but also to their viewers.
Our local paper is another matter, and usually takes the old and worn out, biased in favour of the established party line, and cannot help themselves with the usual childish name calling, instead of a straight forward “
telling it the way it is” style of reporting.
This biased attitude is mainly down to the Editor rather than the individual journalist, but perhaps things will change in the near future, especially when the Editor realises, that an awful lot of those people who actually purchase his paper, also agree with the BNP.
