Following the controversy of Nick Griffin’s ultimately disastrous stewardship of the British National Party, that party has shed most of its former members and the nationalist movement in this country has become fragmented and disoriented. Today our movement is composed of a number of comparatively small organisations, many of them tiny, and all of them largely impotent in terms of being able to effect political change either now or within the foreseeable future.
In recent years, UKIP under the leadership of Nigel Farage has comprehensively eclipsed all genuinely nationalist political parties. UKIP benefit from a significant amount of mainstream funding and they enjoy far more favourable treatment by the mass media than has ever been afforded any genuine nationalist party.
While UKIP are not a creation of the establishment, their existence as a reactionary party, to the right of the Conservative party, espousing policies that appeal to the traditionalists among the electorate, is tolerated and nurtured to some degree, as it occupies the electoral space formerly available to genuinely nationalist political parties. UKIP are now a firmly established cuckoo in the nest, occupying the electoral niche that all democratic nationalist political parties aspire to fill.
In short, UKIP is blocking the nationalist electoral route to power and very effectively neutralising any threat that nationalist political parties might otherwise pose. Unless something significant happens to alter the current status quo, it will be impossible for a genuinely nationalist political party to bypass that ‘road block’ and achieve any significant electoral success.
Post Brexit, some have suggested that UKIP have lost their raison d’être and will go into decline, but that is far from certain and the process of decline may take decades during which the growth in terms of electoral success of genuine nationalist political parties will continue to be obstructed.
It is evident that British nationalism is currently in a state of limbo, the surprise vote for Brexit in this year’s referendum has not only affected UKIP, it has as far as the general public are concerned, removed both major planks from our political platform, placing on hold pending the outcome of negotiations, not just Britain’s future relationship with the EU, but also any certainty or urgency regarding measures to restrict, control or halt future levels of immigration.
The present uncertainty has an undoubted debilitating effect, but it also provides us with an opportunity to demonstrate decisiveness and to seize the political initiative, especially if we can make our voice heard and can make our numbers felt. We could become a beacon of light amidst the fog of uncertainty, and we ought to be taking action now, because we know full well how the current situation will play out if we remain inert.
If we remain inert, the issue of Brexit will be fudged and we will eventually, after several years, be presented with ‘BINO’, Brexit in name only, or at best ‘Brexit lite’ — outcomes that fly in the face of the democratic wishes of our people — and mass immigration especially from the Third World will continue unabated, dragging us ever closer to the point of genetic no return, a point beyond which the genetic integrity of our people will have been irreversibly compromised.
The most pernicious legacy of the failed Griffin stewardship of the BNP is the veil of mutual suspicion and mistrust that has descended upon nationalism, in which everyone’s honesty is doubted and in which the sincerity of everyone’s patriotism is called into question. Almost every day, siren voices call out their purile warnings and spew forward yet more poison, accusing others of being ‘agents of the secret state’ — unjustly tarnishing the reputations of anyone and everyone who is trying to provide leadership, and reinforcing our feelings of mutual suspicion and mistrust. Clearly the establishment want us to remain divided, impotent and ineffective, and their agents are working hard to that end.
Many have identified the need for new initiatives aimed at bringing nationalists together and some such initiatives have already shown fruit, largely among the rank and file membership. But greater unity is required if a nationalist organisation is to ever acquire the critical mass needed to propel us forward with the speed that is required, and such unity can only be achieved if the leaders of the various nationalist political parties and groups are brought together, face-to-face, and persuaded to view each other as allies rather than rivals or enemies.
Nothing of any great worth is ever achieved without the danger of failure, of rejection, or of having one’s trust betrayed, and we who seek to lead the nationalist movement must have the courage to expose ourselves to those dangers if we are to have any hope of drawing together enough people with the talent needed to build a movement that will be the salvation of our people.
If we leaders can overcome our petty differences of opinion and our petty rivalries and accept that it is better to be number two or three, or number seven, in an organisation that brings about the eventual salvation of our people, than to be number one in an organisation that fails, we will have taken a massive step forward. If we can enter into joint ventures and share best practice and therefore reap the benefits of synergy, the outlook for our movement will be transformed and our prospects for success will be immeasurably greater than they are today.
History and the future generations of our people will judge us harshly if through egotism and petty squabbling, or an inability to forgive the trespasses of others, we condemn those future generations to a miserable future, as a persecuted minority balanced precariously on the brink of extinction.
Western Spring are launching a major nationalist unity initiative this autumn and we invite representatives from all genuine British nationalist organisations to participate in that initiative. We have made arrangements for what we are billing as a ‘Leaders Conference’, to take place at a prestigious venue in early September and invitations will be sent out to the selected invitees over the course of the next few days.
We do not propose to publish a list of invitees or of those who actually do attend. We invite any nationalists who are interesting in making sure your voices and opinions are heard to make enquiries among the leaders of whichever organisations to which you belong, and make sure those leaders are fully briefed before the conference is held. Alternatively, you can make your views known through the comments facility at the foot of this article.
There are now almost daily reports of fresh terrorist outrages, the Tories are doing nothing, UKIP and the Labour Party are rudderless at present and our hope is that by the end of this year we nationalists will have been able to seize the political initiative, to expose and capitalise upon establishment plans to fudge Brexit and to have begun alerting our people to the ongoing dangers of complacency over the issues of race and immigration. An historic and potentially terrible day of reckoning is accelerating towards us and when that day comes we will need to be fully prepared, we will need to be united and with our minds firmly fixed on what needs to be done. Hopefully, those who aspire to lead our people will have done our duty and that potentially terrible day of reckoning will be instead a day of opportunity, a watershed moment giving birth to a new era of glory and fulfilment for us, our movement and our people.

I do hope it goes well, we have an uphill battle even united. But to scatter and fight with each other is absurd. It is exactly what the communists did in the Spanish civil war. We need unity, to root out the subversive elements and crack on with presenting a united Nationalist front to challenge the establishment and ensure we don’t go quietly into the night.

Merge BNP and BDP with BDP constitution… call it the BNDP 😉
John Rice

Merging the discredited BNP with the BDP that hasn’t managed to get off the launch pad in four years isn’t going to achieve anything.
Anyway, best of luck although I’m not optimistic.

Be nice to merge all of them … just make it very democratic in structure so there are no complaints

Speaking of terrorist attacks the UK government have covered up an attempted attack on Saturday.

Giving the matter some thought I think the best that can come of such a meeting would be more cooperation, what will not come is a merger of some sort. What is needed is a replacement for the BNP, some of us thought the BDP would fit the bill, however, the organisation lacks people with drive and initiative and seems incapable of filling the gap. We need a viable Nationalist political party in place asap, not only to take advantage of the situation when UKIP crumbles, but also to give a home to the thousands of Nationalists who do not want, or are incapable, of taking part in demos and street activities.

We don’t need a merger of nationalist parties just to relaunch the same obvious but depressing message about how terrible the modern world is. What’s needed is a constructive movement to build a ‘Folk Community’ with a culture independent from the commercialized pap which presently passes for mass entertainment.The successful “Brexit” vote demonstrated how various political parties from across the spectrum achieved an unprecedented, historic revolution outside the conventional political structures. What’s needed is a Movement rather than a Party, and an ideology for the 21st Century

My thoughts exactly, Michael. How many times we must we emphasie the concept of a plan B to replace the failed plan A?

I tend agree with Michael Woodbridge, above. I thought we had actually moved away from seeking leaders, having leaders, promoting ‘unity’ and aiming to achieve mergers of various groups and directions that neither trust each other or share the same outlooks. However, I do appreciate that the conference is likely to more about gathering current “leaders” together (to thrash things out and find common ground) than finding a new one.
.
John Rice, above, starts off with a promising piece of pragmatism…but sadly appears to fall into the trap of wanting a new party. John, if you have not already done so, I think you would find the articles laying out the founding principles of Western Spring to be very interesting and a good explanation of why we really have to stop with the idea, or dream for a new nationalist party to rise up in this country.
.
Okay, one may need to be there waiting in the wings and ready to roll….but in practical terms it should just be there as an empty box ready to be filled with voters at an opportune moment. I think that expecting anything else from it would be futile.
.
I would tend to suggest that if people are to engage in political activity, they ideally need to be ‘clean skins (in terms of political affiliations and memberships, social media, etc), and practice entryism into mainstream parties in the areas both in and around where Western Spring aims to set up shop. People can support those ‘candidates’.
.
However, where I do agree with John is that we could at least try to have more collaboration and coordination between different groups. No treading on toes, no mergers, no funny business….just mutual agreements to consolidate and coordinate efforts, keeping people in the general loop, tapping into whatever expertise and experience different groups may have.
.
It would be a “no skin off my nose” situation, in terms of retaining the integrity and privacy of each grouping. We are never going to see eye to eye. There will never be ‘nationalist unity’. There will never be shared ideologies and activities that mesh everyone together. I think all that can be done is the breaking down of some barriers, seeing where all the different strands can fit, then just allowing each piece to get on with their own thing – providing it bears in mind the agreed overall structure, aims, ambitions.
.
Hope Not Hate is clearly watching this site and the proposed event. I actually came to comment here after being sent a link to it from another nationalist site’s comment section. It would be rather silly, I would have thought, to make things easy for them by once again being able to track who is who – and who may be doing what – by having leaders of note, and so on and so forth….not to mention how easy it can be for them to create mischief and distrust between these ‘names’.
.
Besides, the last thing I think we need is the return to the kind of clown antics of self styled ‘leaders’ and ‘unifiers’ – naming no names, but one of them is getting to be notorious in their unhinged drive to be a ‘big name’ in the movement. Indeed, is it wise at all to be trying to reach into groups that are pitted with troubles, electoral failures, schisms and attitudes or practices that have not shown much fruit in 40 years?
.
Maybe things are now that desperate and thin on the ground (or conversely, opportune at the moment) that we have to do so?
.
Western Spring is an extremely ambitious project. I think it is bound to be quite hard to get off the ground in this country – given the mental state it is in, let alone the demographics and the state nationalism is in at the moment.
.
The project seems to be in sore need of pioneers, those people who are prepared to really change their lives and throw their all into this cause. Those people are going to be thin on the ground, I suspect, particularly when people tend to prefer to hide behind the pursuit of politics and “political party support” from a distance, via a candidate, or ‘leader’ rather than radically altering their own current lives and their futures to live and breathe a white-nationalist cause.
.
It is not easy. I can’t pretend to be much different in recent times, it is a “big ask” {as the annoying saying goes} – but at least I am aware enough of what the shortfall seems to be in terms of what may be stunting a faster pace of building things up.
.
The “six prerequisites” are laid down. The concept is explained for the project, including the community building, entryism, subterfuge, and so on. I am not sure groups that do rallies, demonstrations, political parties, etc, (that may be the bread and butter of other groups) are really fitting with these pursuits anyway. There is much more on the table than party politics, or rallies and demonstrations. This is what I think Michael alludes to in his comment about a revolution outside of normal operating structures.
.
Is it not the case that Western Spring and nationalism in general just needs to crack on with some real-world and well thought out moves that can achieve real change instead of blasting down megaphones at rallies, hoisting up banners in groups of 20, or standing local candidates for parties that could never hope to be elected?…
.
What we have now is absolutely bonkers on the face of it, with no common aims or goals at all. It is often akin to being one long whine-fest of what is being done to us, how many more boats are coming, how certain interest groups are pushing their latest narratives and agendas, all doing their own things – instead of us figuring out how to achieve the smallest of steps that make a lasting change in our favour. Always reacting, never building.
.
I cannot see why any genuine nationalist organisation cannot, at the least, come to support and appreciate these aims and objectives and help to mutually achieve them in any way they can, particularly if it is not detrimental or adverse to their own methods and their own directions. If people cannot do this, I think it would say more about them and their groups more than anything else.
.
Trust does indeed have to be earned. If people can show their trustworthiness by having some fruit to show for combined labour, maybe that could help build bridges. At the moment, it seems there are several micro-groups and parties lingering around, getting next to nowhere, and mutually mistrusting one another. If a small risk can be taken by all to help establish some genuine fruit, groups may be more energised and open to further collaborations.
