As this year has progressed I have become increasingly aware of nationalists being arrested and prosecuted by the police under this country’s, so-called ‘hate speech’ legislation, and now subject to private prosecutions instigated by Jewish groups, but subsequently gaining the support of the Crown Prosecution Service. The number of nationalists from all groups and parties, either currently being prosecuted or living with the threat of imminent prosecution hanging over them, is now in the dozens and I am sad to say that they could potentially face heavy fines, disruptive control orders or in some cases prison sentences, such is the Draconian nature of the law in this area, curtailing freedom of speech.
With the advent of the Internet, smart phones and social media, there is the scope for ordinary people to have their views amplified and broadcast far and wide in a way that has never existed before, and this places us all under the temptation to vent our feelings and our frustrations about the immigrant invasion of our country and the imposition of forced multiculturalism against the will of our people. With this freedom however, comes a great danger, sometimes at great personal cost to those who give in to this temptation without taking precautions to protect themselves from the surveillance state, its desire to suppress freedom of expression, and its enforcement of political correctness.
I write this article, not through any desire to protect criminal behaviour, but because I am aware that the laws restricting freedom of speech in connection with racial issues have been made unnecessarily Draconian with the deliberate intention of suppressing legitimate freedom of expression and with the aim of unnecessarily criminalising people who express their valid objections to the racial displacement and genocide of our people. These laws are wrong, they have not been designed to protect our people, but to make us vulnerable and to aid our genocide, and as such it behoves every nationalist to seek ways of mitigating the impact of these laws and to protect our freedom.
As a general rule it is not advisable to express in a public place, any views that could be considered insulting to protected minorities, or which could be construed as an incitement to racial hatred.
By ‘public place’, I mean anywhere outside of your home, or via any kind of electronic medium. Outside your home means: in your garden; in the street; at school; at work; on public transport; at the library; at a public meeting; at a private meeting; in court; in hospital; at a friend’s or relative’s house; etc., and by ‘electronic medium’, I mean: telephone; Skype; email; text message; in a post on an Internet forum or website; or in a podcast or video.
In any public place there is the danger that one of your friends will make a sound recording or a video recording on their mobile phone and unwittingly release that recording into the public domain. There is also the danger that one of our political enemies or a misguided member of the public will do the same or pass the recording on to the police with a complaint. There is also the danger that what you say will be picked up on one of the literally millions of CCTV cameras that keep watch of our every move in public places.
If you want to get up on your ‘soap-box’, if you want to make a speech or post a podcast or video online, then you are being grossly irresponsible if you do so without first making sure that you are ‘qualified’ to do so. Any fool can stand up on a soap-box, have a rant, including many witty and highly amusing colloquialisms denigrating those seen as our racial enemies, the trick is to do so in such a way that you do not offer up the authorities, your head on a silver platter.
The following video by Mark Collett addresses a related issue and it is appropriate to embed this video here in the hope that Mark’s message and my message will have greater impact when combined:
Mark’s video in my view provides excellent advice. Like Mark, I compromised my career while I was a student, getting expelled from college as a result of my uncompromising involvement in political activism. We do not want young people and others to stop being nationalist activists, our warning is simply that nationalist activism needs to be entered into with care, and is best entered into under the guidance of those with more experience.
Those of us within the leadership of nationalist organisations sometimes appear to deliver speeches with elan and with reckless abandon, we sometimes appear to rattle off articles without so much as a second thought, but I promise you it is not like that. We spend hours, sometimes days, agonising over the wording that we are going to use and our speeches are almost always scripted and practiced in advance to eliminate, or at least minimise any potential for the authorities to prosecute us afterwards.
It is vital if we are to protect the interests of our people against threats posed by immigration that we stray into the grey area between words that are merely disapproved of by the state, and those that are illegal. Whenever we venture into that grey area in a public speech or Internet based article, we are taking a risk and those of us who do this successfully most of the time, are able to do so because we have years of experience behind us and because we copy the speaking style and writing styles of others who have done this successfully in the past.
When we stay the right side of the ‘red lines’ it often means that our articles and speeches appear to lack that little bit of extra lustre or gusto that many would like to see, and I am often criticised for not saying this or that more succinctly, or more robustly than I do, but this restraint is what makes the difference between me being at liberty to fight for the salvation of our people or me being locked up in prison. I know which of these options I prefer, and I know which one allows me to do the most to advance our cause.
So if you feel compelled to become involved in our people’s struggle and you want to be a leader rather than a follower, my advice to you is to team up with someone who has been making speeches and writing articles and take advice from them first, before you find yourself in trouble.
Never say anything in public or over an electronic medium that you would not wish to say in a court of law in front of a judge, and never use disparaging or insulting terms to describe our enemies or people from ethnic minorities. If you avoid using insulting terms in private, you will stand less chance of accidentally using them in front of witnesses or in front of a camera.
Discussing racial issues in public can be done legally. There is always a safe way of saying anything that you might usefully want to say in public, it simply requires us to use terminology that is sober, factual and sometimes somewhat abstract. Avoid referring to ethnic minorities directly using emotionally charged words that could be construed as inferring a degree of ‘hatred’. No matter how much we may feel enmity and hatred for another ethnic group, we should not indulge the desire to express ourselves in crude terms, and if we must speak disparagingly about others, we should attack them for what they do, not for what they are.
It is always a good tactic to acknowledge that there are some good/innocent people among any ethnic minority group that you are inclined to criticise, and this way you will be seen to be attacking the bad ones among them for their behaviour, not all of them based solely on their racial or ethnic origins.
If you are approached by the police or arrested in connection with any so-called ‘hate speech’ charge, the best course of action is to say as little as possible. There is a great temptation to act the ‘barrack room lawyer’ and to believe that you are smart enough to argue your way out of trouble, but that is almost always a mistake. Experienced police officers will tell you that something like seventy-five percent of all convictions are secured based on statements made by their suspects and information gathered from those suspects during questioning. This means that if you try to be cocky and argue with the police interrogator, unless you are very lucky you will simply increase your chances of being convicted, four-fold.
As I wrote earlier, I don’t provide this advice through any desire to protect criminal behaviour, but I am aware that the laws restricting freedom of speech in connection with racial issues have been made unnecessarily Draconian with the deliberate intention of suppressing legitimate freedom of expression and with the aim of unnecessarily criminalising people who express their valid objections to the racial displacement and genocide of our people.
I know that the ‘grey area’ between what can and cannot be said legally is deliberately very narrow and indistinct and many of our people who engage in discussion of the issues of race and immigration will fall prey to this and inadvertently stray over the ‘red lines’, thereby enabling the police to criminalise them, again unnecessarily.
I hope that our readers will take notice of my above advice, and the advice of Mark Collett, and thereby in future stay safe, stay out of trouble, and remain active.

The points made in the article and by Mark Collet in the video offer sound advice in avoiding compromising situations which could prove costly. Increasingly our ability to express our opposition to mass immigration, diversity and multiculturalism is being reduced and racial issues cannot be rationally discussed in public without provoking hysteria and feigned outrage. However maintaining a strict discipline and avoiding careless language can avoid potential dangers.The success of UKIP has allowed immigration controls to be discussed in a way which had been difficult for many years, but this discussion is limited to arguments regarding sustainable populations in terms of numbers and not on racial grounds.Arguments in terms of cultural compatibility and ethnic identity can also be made to challenge the prevailing orthodoxy. The Brexit vote in the UK and the successful election of Mr Trump in the US reveals quite clearly that the values of ordinary and real people are at variance with those of the Liberal Left elites. Recent events should give us much needed cheer and the confidence to consolidate the gains of 2016. Meanwhile tread very carefully!.

This country has become very Orwellian in the past couple of years. I think the establishment know full well the public haven’t responded to the endless propaganda as they had hope and they are now doubling down to try and protect their corrupt system the best they can. But recent history tells us that whatever those in charge do, they will still collapse. I believe it is inevitable. Nothing they can do can stop it and it requires little from us bar providing an alternative and continuing to expose the truth.
The system is like a ship, holes have appeared in the hull and the people on the bridge are screaming for someone to plug them up, but no matter what they do, the ship is falling apart and will sink inevitably.

Very sound advice indeed. Passions on this subject do run high, and it is very easy to get carried away, but personal discipline & stoicism must hold the line. As noted, what good is an activist in prison. Or, for that matter going so overboard on their speech, or tactics that all they do is alienate the public, and yet again hand another propaganda coup to the establishment.
We are now seeing this alarm at “fake news”, that being anything that criticises the establishment and their projects and experiments.
We are expected to believe that only such as the BBC and other mainstream media outlets, are a truthful source of information, and of course they never lie by omission either.
Many now do not believe that, and will continue to seek other media outlets, and are more than able to work out for themselves what’s probable, what’s not proven and what is just sensationalism.
To stop that, the establishment will have to become more draconian, thus showing its true colours to the people.
That will not stack up in their favour.
They are losing their grip, they know it, and that makes these times exciting, hopeful, but dangerous also.

I write stuff on social media all the time, One can get ones point across, just choose your words carefully, I remember a couple of years ago, Nick Ferrari on LBC radio was talking to i assume a black person, he said what has the black man ever invented, now what he said is a fact, and that was the end of it no reprocussions.
As long as you dont use hate or threatening words..go ahead.

But these new, clever, cunning (HATEFUL) “Hate Laws” deliberately avoid setting out any “red lines”!
They are vaguely worded and dependent on un-measurable “feelings” of hurt, upset or ‘insult’, from even just one lefty agitator or alien (given British citizenship by our corrupt rulers) who probably finds, or has been taught to take offence and find, our own Caucasian/Christian presence on ‘their’ new homeland, deeply offensive!
Nowadays, nearly all the (political-appointed) Crown Prosecutors, barristers and judges (and officials who select the wimmin and ‘vibrant’ weighted juries) are lefty selfish careerists. All the decent conservatives and natural healthy patriots have been driven out of our courts.
All our once glorious institutions have been infiltrated, subverted and corrupted. Having principles and holding down a job, is now very difficult. Even Max’s recorded mild speeches could be deemed “likely to stir up racial hatred”.
Does Mark Collett realize we are no longer the 1950s? –where you work reasonably hard at school, have a good time, enjoy freedom, and then slide into a nice, respectable, well-paid, satisfying job in Law, Medicine, The Prudential or the Land Rover! Things have deteriorated. We are now ruled by well disguised sophisticated hate-filled Bolsheviks and their greedy stooges in Westminster.
We are surrounded by millions of poorly-read, weak-minded, selfish, Caucasian careerists, busy ‘keeping their heads well down’ pretending to themselves they are going to “do something” about this alien invasion when they have the house paid off and safely retired on a comfortable pension.
Where is the mature motivating leadership? This is a counsel of despair, and invitation to surrender!
Yes, we should offer guidance on TRYING to stay out of jail, but any effective resistance is now almost impossible, and they know it! Nowadays, any of us dissidents could end up in jail.
So, we should be building up funds and welfare and even jobs for our young, enthusiastic and persecuted comrades, and their families, if and when they are eventually released from jail, and if they survive the intense anti-white hatred and drugged-up violence in our increasingly lawless jails.

Hi Andy, I agree with most of the points you make here, with the exception of your pessimism for the future.
.
The ‘red lines’ are ill-defined and the ‘grey areas’ somewhat indistinct and this is why great care is needed, especially by those tempted to ‘push the envelope’, but I have been writing and making speeches for several decades now and while I have been interviewed by Special Branch on a number of occasions, I have managed to avoid prosecution. So it is possible to successfully tread the narrow path.
.
Mark is not unrealistic in what he advocates in his video. While careers are less certain nowadays and while employers are generally less honourable than they were in previous generations, it is still possible to find decent employment and if you are academically inclined to forge a successful career in the professions.
.
We always assume that the senior executives of large firms are going to be selfish, mammonistic, ciphers crawling over each other in order to get to the top of the ant heap, but during my career in management I was pleasantly surprised on a number of occasions to find that some of the most unlikely people were decent human beings willing to risk incurring the wrath of the system in order to help a beleaguered nationalist colleague.
.
We should never loose sight of the fact that however lacking in courage, however brow-beaten or hang-dog our people may superficially appear to be, they are intrinsically good people at heart and that is why we fight, not because of what they are today, but because of what they can be if we rise to the challenge and provide the kind of inspirational leadership they need.

A good article, I think many people need advice as to how to operate in the police state we are becoming , the police are not neutral , where race and politics are concerned they are the enemy. If arrested do not speak to them, do not make a statement, as the article correctly pointed out many people are convicted by the statements they have made. Many police forces are now officially connected to enemy organisations like the Muslim Tell Mama and the Jewish CST (who have 55 employees, doing what we ask). Interestingly the CST was started by the criminal Ronson, this obviously doesn’t worry PC plod.

About 2 years ago I was arrested together with 5 other patriots after taking part in a ‘White Man’s March’ in Newcastle. Fortunately we all received the same excellent advice from our acting solicitor, which was to meet each question put by the interrogator with a polite “No comment”. After a lot of huffing and puffing, which lasted about 6 months, the Crown Prosecution Service finally gave up.
As our solicitor made clear, the police interrogator wasn’t there to make friends or seek our political wisdom. His sole purpose was to find a peg upon which to hang a case for a possible prosecution.

There is an excellent article called What To Do If You Become Involved With the Criminal Law at Robert Henderson’s England Calling website. Obligatory reading in our circles I would suggest.
Main message is, as stated here, say absolutely nothing if arrested or stopped by police.

I’m interested in Mark’s admissions of where he failed & hope he learnt from that, he seems to have.
I’m also grateful I never got on TV at that age & don’t want to now!

It’s going to get worse now the Snooper’s Charter has been passed. As always they use the excuse of terrorism and criminality as justification to clamp down on more of our freedoms and increase their surveillance over us. This Orwellian law includes forcing internet providers to store EVERYTHING we do online – all websites you visit, how long for, what you typed etc. They’re also forcing phone companies to keep details of all our phone calls. This data must be stored for 12 months but I suspect this data will be handed over to the state and stored indefinitely. This law also gives government agencies the right to hack into computers, networks, mobile devices, servers etc. You can read more about it here: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/ip-bill-law-details-passed
You could use a VPN on your computer to help protect yourself, although I’m not sure if they can bypass that too. No doubt pressure will be brought onto such companies offering this service to provide a backdoor.

Relevant to what is being discussed is the fact that the Government will be drafting legislation to proscribe National Action,making it a criminal organisationn and membership of it could lead to imprisonment.The enthusiasm of the young is commendable and against a background of ingrained Cultural Marxism in the education sphere which wasn’t noticeable when I left school in 1977.However a regular high profile street presence and unguarded comments on their sites supporting the killing of the MP Joe Cox had given the Government the convenient pretext to suppress National Action. As Mark Collet had argued, it is important that the young complete their education and avoid being expelled from Universities, a fate which has befallen several National Action activists. We are living in interesting times!.
