Neil Murphy, a government economic adviser, has described Newcastle as “hideously white” at a city conference.

Yes, Trevor Phillips, CRE chief and demoniser of black pudding eaters everywhere, is back to his best form once again.

He has had a very lean spell, even if he did bring it on himself.  You see, when you write-off your best bit of special pleading in years you are likely to confuse people somewhat.  Telling the entire country and its goldfish that a keeness to admit institutional racism was just a white “cop out” might have looked to Trev like proof of his high standards.  But to the accursed majority it just looked like there was no pleasing the man.  Sorry, The Man.  There probably isn’t, but never mind.

Then there was Trev’s theory about the failure of multiculturalism.  Now, I didn’t mind this one at all because multiculturalism is a failure for very sound sociobiological reasons.  But for some unaccountable reason few of Trev’s so solid brothers follow my line of reasoning.  Lee Jasper, a most unreasonably angry black vice-something in Livingstone’s Leninist London [finally, an “L3” comparable to Loony Labour Left], was especially scathing:-

In the real world, this onslaught translates into an approach that says: “Assimilate, accept the majority’s norms - because if you don’t, your failure to integrate, not racism, is the problem.” Counterposing integration to multiculturalism is bound to lead to castigation of black communities for supposed failings.

Supposed?  Failings?  What could he mean?

Completely unphased, Trev then experienced that Archimedian moment.  Not about anything difficult like arithmetic or geometry, of course.  No, this was about the low educational attainment of black yoofs (not to be confused with the low intellectual abilities of same).  But once again he was slaughtered in the bath, sorry press.  Or “well slortard” I suppose one should say in the required argot of Railton Road.

It wasn’t looking good.  Despite the neat suits, public pronouncement as a vehicle for self-promotion just wasn’t delivering the desired limmo-full of national praise.  Now, perhaps, the grizzly fate of his predecessor at the CRE, the bibulous Gurbux Singh, was beginning to make sense.

But the great thing about race relations is that there will always be another socialist-red bus along in a minute.  And sure enough, Trev has come up with a good one ... a legal assault no one will challenge on a victim no one will ever, ever defend:-

The chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality accused the Government yesterday of “deep institutional complacency” for failing to enforce its own laws to safeguard the rights of ethnic minorities.

Trevor Phillips, who has close links to Tony Blair and New Labour, said the CRE was poised to take legal action against several Whitehall departments over their alleged incompetence in upholding the law.

The Man is incorrigible.

So, Dennis Healey’s famous advice about stopping digging has been ignored.  The Home Office and the CPS just can’t resist putting Nick Griffin and Mark Collett back in the dock.

Perhaps they feel they have no choice - the sanctity of the MultiCult cannot be preserved if BNP members can legally tell one another that Islam is a wicked religion.

Perhaps they only really care that their private, Marxoid prejudices are exercised.  After all, with the Anti-Hunting Bill the left was happy to turn the toff-hating, cuddly fox-loving public into veritable hunt supporters.  It has a long tradition of self-indulgent gesture politics regardless of cost.

In any event, the judge has named May 15th for the start of the trial.  That will be eleven days after the Council Elections to be held at the beginning of the month.  The BNP is hoping for a good showing as a result of the first trial.  As I said on February 2nd, none of this is going to get any easier for the Crown.

I suppose the chances will increase of a few arrests in connection with the hate protest held outside the Danish Embassy in London.  I can already hear the bearded ones’ brief wearily explaining to the court that sorry, sorry but no offense, mate, and the placards were just meant to illustrate how those peaceful, brotherly, vibrant people see Mr Rose’s blasphemous cartoons.  But Nick and Mark could be inside by then, of course, if the new jury is more Pee-Cee than the last one.

We don’t know the balance of the original jury’s opinion on the live charges.  The impression given by Griffin on his Free Speech Blog was that no prospect of agreement existed at all.  Obviously, the judge accepted that or the charges would not have been quashed.  One might be over-confident in assessing the chances of a successful prosecution this time as distinctly low.  Over-confidence in legal matters is never advisable, but in the absence of any known grounds for the Crown’s optimism - any new evidence or new witnesses - it does look that way.

Bear in mind also that a second trial for Griffin and Collett is a trial also for the Establishment.  A collapse or another failure to agree a verdict - or, of course, Not Guilty verdicts - would be a huge propaganda coup for the BNP while the CPS and police would be compromised by their clear political bias.  There is a lot more riding on this than the fate of two minor British politicians.

Whatever drove the decision to press ahead, this prosecution has “dangerous” and “unwise” stamped everywhere.  Expect the media to greet it with a marked lack of enthusiam and to report it with minimal interest.

So, although our Prime Minister, yeah, was stranded in South Africa while the Commons debated compulsory ID cards, he has got his deeply suspect way and we will get his cards.  The government won by 31 votes.  It has a Commons majority of 64.

The bill will now go back to the Upper House for its second reading.  So the next question to be answered is whether their Lordships will re-insert their prior amendment suspending all action on the cards until full costs are known.  The government’s margin of victory on that tonight - 53 votes - may well be sufficient to stay their hand.  This looks like a lost war.  I will probably have to change my blog handle to 6530988747.

There is always, though, the wild hope and succour for the truly, madly desperate of a Cameron victory in 2009.  That dubious pleasure might save us from having to register our “personal details” with the state.  Whether David Cameron is a torch-bearer for freedom is, of course, wholly unknown.  More likely, he is a torch-singer for MI5.

While our Prime Minister, yeah, has been slumming it in lovely, downtown Soweto his Chancellor has made another in his series of speeches about what Britain Under Brown will be like.  Awfully British value-wise, apparently.  At United Royal Services Club in London he “called for a battle for the hearts and minds of British Muslims to prevent them coming under the influence of Islamic extremists.”

Notwithstanding the fine record of success of past campaigns for alien hearts and minds - Viet Nam always comes to the fore, I think, but Iraq is right up there, too - I really can’t see this working.  Frankly, if I was a Muslim and I saw Mr Brown reaching out to me, I’d run like hell in the direction of Finsbury.

It is late 1943. It is clear that Germany will lose the war. Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt have just attended a conference at Tehran to plan the future of the war and Europe.

What would an English traditionalist have made of the situation?

On 9th December J.R.R. Tolkien, future author of Lord of the Rings, wrote a letter to his son Christopher, who was training in the R.A.F. This is how he observed the situation:

“I must admit that I smiled a kind of sickly smile and ‘nearly curled up on the floor, and the subsequent proceedings interested me no more’, when I heard of that bloodthirsty old murderer Josef Stalin inviting all nations to join a happy family of folks devoted to the abolition of tyranny & intolerance!

“But I must also admit that in the photograph our little cherub W.S.C. [Churchill] actually looked the biggest ruffian present. Humph, well! I wonder (if we survive this war) if there will be any niche, even of sufferance, left for reactionary back numbers like me (and you).

“The bigger things get the smaller and duller and flatter the globe gets. It is getting to be all one blasted little provincial suburb.

“When they have introduced American sanitation, morale-pep, feminism, and mass production throughout the Near East, Middle East, Far East, USSR, the Pampas, el Gran Chaco [etc] ... how happy we shall be.

“But seriously: I do find this Americo-cosmopolitanism very terrifying. Qua mind and spirit, and neglecting the piddling fears of timid flesh which does not want to be shot or chopped by brutal and licentious soldiery (German or other), I am not really sure that its victory is going to be so much the better for the world as a whole and in the long run than the victory of———

“I need to you hardly add that them’s the sentiments of a good many folk - and no indication of a lack of patriotism. For I love England (not Great Britain and certainly not the British Commonwealth (grrr!)), and if I was of military age, I should, I fancy, be grousing away in a fighting service, and willing to go on to the bitter end - always hoping that things may turn out better for England than they look like doing.”

Last month journalist Peter Whittle wrote an article for The Sunday Times titled “How my neighbourhood was lost to the multiculture”.

It’s the story of the transformation through foreign immigration of the London suburb of Woolwich. Whittle writes eloquently of how such immigration undoes a sense of community and undermines the particular attachments which individuals have to the places they inhabit.

According to Whittle, in the 1970s the area,

“had something that amounted to a collective identity.

“Now it appears to me fragmented, with different ethnic communities existing side-by-side, sometimes uneasily, sometimes violently and always with a sense of nothingness in the air ...

“Sometimes now, in streets I’ve used since my Sixties boyhood, I’m struck by the sense that this place no longer provides my identifiable roots, that now I am simply one of many who happen to live here, with no greater claim to it sentimentally or historically than the next man.”

Such anonymity might be what people are looking for when they choose to live in the teeming metropolitan centre, but in a suburb that has shaped much of your life, it’s a hard feeling to negotiate.”

“A jury at Leeds Crown Court has cleared BNP leader Nick Griffin of two racial hatred charges and BNP activist Mark Collett of four others.

The jury has been discharged after failing to reach verdicts on the remaining charges - four against Mr Collett and two against Mr Griffin.”

BBC News report.

So, after decades of relentless misrepresentation and high-moral opprobrium from mainstream politics and the media, with never a word gain-said, twelve ordinary men and women could not be relied upon to convict Nick Griffin and Mark Collett of race hate.  The BNP pair left Leeds Crown Court this evening as free men - and men freed to speak freely on easily the greatest and most officially ignored social change in a thousand years of our history.

The Crown Prosecution Service now has to consider whether to reintroduce the two charges against Griffin and the four against Collett on which the jury could not agree.  It should take them all of twenty seconds.  The prosecution case was, frankly, feeble, relying on only one witness - Jason Gwynne, the undercover “journalist” who recorded Griffin and Collett’s speeches for the BBC documentary, The Secret Agent.  It isn’t going to get any stronger second time around.  And while this prosecution might have seemed to Labour politicians like a shot to nothing, another would plainly be malign.  The costs of a second failure would be just too great.

The long-term effects of the trial outcome will all be beneficial.  First, a little healthy respect for the instincts of jury members ought to percolate through to the Pee-Cee-addled brains of our liberal elite.  Their idea that something called “racism” is necessarily the most grievous crime imaginable is not shared by the public.  We are well into the process of seeing this toxic little word devalued.  Now, whenever it is hurled at a defender of Western Man the reply should be, “What, you mean like Griffin and Collett?”

Second, actual speech will be a little freer as a result of failed prosecution.  The precise limit of what can be safely said remains unclear, and the passage of even a damaged Religious Hate Crimes bill onto the statute books further complicates the issue.

But the importance of even partial free speech in an otherwise unfree situation is impossible to over-emphasize.  Anger exists and it is righteous.  If and when it becomes possible to publicly condemn, say, Ken Livingstone when he responds to 7/7 by praising those who come from all over the world to take the places of the dead, the left will truly be on the slide.  All suggestions of a superior morality will depart from it and the political winds will slowly change.

Third, the BNP has had the best possible lesson in discipline and been handed a political prize.  Advocating the rights of the native majority need plainly no longer be seen as mean or hateful. It is just.  The job is getting easier.  Whether the Party can capitalise on this windfall will be revealed at the May council elections.

For now, I am very glad that Nick and Mark are free men and very pleased to congratulate them accordingly.

Racial discrimination is not supposed to happen in a modern, progressive, liberal society, is it?

So what happens when it is discovered that Scotland Yard deliberately promoted a black bodyguard to a prestigious job because of his race? Are the white bodyguards who missed out given compensation? Well, no. In fact, the black bodyguard has been awarded $70,000 in compensation for being discriminated against because he was “over-promoted”!

Strange times we live in, don’t we? Strange enough for a refugee council in Norway to propose buying camels so that nomadic refugees might feel more at home.
