Harriet Harman's 1984 ‘Newspeak'

By Martin Wingfield June 26, 2008

GEORGE Orwell would have applauded the Labour Government today for providing the best example of ‘1984 Newspeak' in recent years.

This morning Harriet Harman introduced a new “Equality” Bill and that bill directly discriminates against a person if they are White and discriminates against them again if they are male. Thankfully the injustice of it all has not been lost on our tabloid press and both the Daily Mail and Daily Express expose the legislation for exactly what it is - nothing to do with equality but all to do with giving ethnic minorities living in Britain an advantage over the indigenous population.

Interestingly enough ITN, when reporting the item, forgot to mention the main beneficiaries of the new Bill. They mentioned that women would benefit and that older people would benefit, but it just slipped their minds to tell the public that it was the ethnic minorities who would benefit more than anyone else.

Our criticism of the BBC has been proved correct, and confirmation that the ethnic minorities are over represented within the Corporation has come from none other than Dr Samir Shah, a non-executive director and the former head of current affairs at the BBC.

He said that said the politically correct antics of broadcasters were creating an ‘ inauthentic representation of who we are' and blamed a ‘metropolitan, largely liberal, white, middle-class elite' for ensuring ethnic minority presence on-screen ‘regardless of editorial imperatives'.

Dr Shah, who also runs his own production company, said one of the ‘odder and plain daft outcomes' of equal opportunities was over-compensation.

“I don't know if there is any systematic data on this but I think we can all agree that there is no shortage of black and Asian reporters and presenters around these days - especially on news programmes,” said Dr Shah. “I suspect there is a goodly presence of them even in areas where Black and Asian faces are pretty thin on the ground. “Let's not forget the UK is still 90 per cent white - not everyone lives in London or the West Midlands.' “I don't think that such over-representation is a brilliant idea,' he added.

Let's just hope that Dr Shah's comments get the publicity they deserve.

Henley today, and elections in Blackpool and Hatfield, so here's wishing the very best of luck to our three brave candidates.

  2. Yes I believe the lib-lab-call call this positive discrimination because its only against the indigenous white British Male

  3. I have no problem with women getting the same pay, as a man for doing the exact same job. I have no problem with a black, yellow, orange, green,blue gay or straight person, male or female getting a job on merit and ability to do the required job.

    I DO have a problem with quotas. I DO have a problem with discrimination of Heterosexual male white.

    Harman doesn't know the meaning of Equality.

  4. Speaking of the election, still no coverage in the media at all.

    Can the politicians and their apologists the media not understand that the public are not fooled anymore. If their policies are so good for the electorate why can't they discuss them in open debate against the BNP? Are they so scared that our policies will readily appeal to the “man in the street” that they dare not let them be exposed for fear of revealing their own inadequacies?

    The rot starts from the top and the whole system of government and their stooges. The media reflect what Brown the clown and his lackies are. Cowards, hypocrites, bullies, toadies and morons.

  5. Well, here we have it! At last ‘mad as a hatter' Harriet and gormless Gordon have finally managed to dig their own graves! They thought they had come up with a cunning plan. Take the side of the women (assuming they are 50% of the electorate), throw in the ethnics and hey ho, they can grub back some votes from us thick voters! Just what planet are these idiots on? It is crystal clear to even me - a mere ‘underpaid' woman, what they're up to! I have news for the dopey hapless Harriet. Most of us women do actually have a brain, and we certainly won't be falling for their crafty, pathetic little scam. To add to this, you silly woman- next time you're on BBC Questiontime, do have another pop at the BNP. We love it. It assures more votes for our fast growing party!

    -

    We in the BNP respect and revere our womenfolk, whereas Harman seeks to demean them. We also believe that all races should be treated equally, except we don't want to be overun with them in our own land. Either the liblabcon is deliberately promoting a race and gender war, or they are so far removed from the real world as to be unfit for government to say the least. Its make your mind up time, people. Support the BNP or accept your inevitable fate. - Ed

  6. When I watched the news on the BBC last night, it said ethnic minorities and women would get preference over White Males for jobs. I felt disgusted and sick to the stomach. Not at the women getting the jobs, or even the ethnic minorities (provided they are qualified and are legally here). I felt disgusted at the fact that the government want to make it “LAW” to enforce this Racial Discrimination upon us.

    Instead of messing around with petty laws, why not make it law to abolish the meaning “Racist” altogether, then we are all equal and all have a chance to live without being discriminated against.

    The government are trying to curb the so-called “racism” in this country but on the other hand they are forcing it upon us all by making it law.

    Absolutely amazing!!!!

  7. I see Harriett Harperson is up to her usual tricks: don't change, do they? See her entry on Wikipedia (not the most impeccable source, but usually good for a laugh.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_Harman

  8. So there we have it in Black and White. Clear as Crystal. No beating around the bush. Right from the horses mouth, (Sorry to all horses). Harriet The Harpy Harmfull says, “If you're White Anglo Saxon Male, out of or, looking for a job, tough luck. If you're an employer looking to hire the best candidate for a post, tough luck.” This edict comes to you from an equality department promoting an equality bill. I'll have to consult my Oxford English Dictionary. It says the same in quantity size degree value, or status. So this equality they speak of is different, the new speak of the novel and clairvoyant 1984. So all you Anglo-Saxon males out there, one less excuse for not joining the BNP. Come on and join us. The next logical step in her deranged mind will be to sack you and replace you with some one more equal than you. Whoops! I think that it has already began.

    -

    “The BNP should be treated as less than human” - Trevor Phillips.

    So, by extension, since the BNP represents native Britons, it is native Britons that must be treated as “less than human” according to the liblabcon's Black, Leninist “equality chief”.

    For indigenous Britons the choice is clear. Support the BNP, or support your own extinction. - Ed

  9. More politically correct spin, more lies, more division and resentment. Every thing Nu-Labour does causes more segregation. Having caused segregation and resentment against ethnic minorities they push the wedge in further and now they increase their war against family values by increasing resentment between the sexes. When Nu-labour says equality they mean the exact opposite. People should be employed on merit only not on sex or race, but then Harman could never have been selected on merit, she is too incompetent, she is just a token of political correctness, so that Nu-Labour can say they have several female MPs. It's a tragedy that Tony B Liar and Stalin McBrown have killed off Labour and replaced it with this sub-standard politically correct farce called Nu-Labour. Go on vote for Nu-Labour, the party of oppression, division and hatred. However if you've any common sense at all you will vote for The BNP.

  10. The investigation into Harridan's dodgy donations and loans for the election of the Deputy leadership of NuLabour has gone deafeningly quiet. How come Hain had to resign his Cabinet position for the same reason but she ended up as Deputy Leader. She must have something on the McBean.

  11. Typical double speak from this government, discrimination is bad unless it us doing the discriminating!

    The equal pay act was God knows how many years ago but it hasn't worked, so like typical lawyers they want more laws passed, which is self-serving in the extreme.

    As Dr Shah says, ethnic minorities are over represented on the BBC news. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1029544/There-ethnics-TV-says-Asian-BBC-chief.html

    Have you noticed virtually every time they go into a school there is a hijab-wearing schoolgirl in the shot.

    Is it the same girl every time, maybe with a change of scarf for variety? We should be told.

  13. Great. At a time when fuel and food prices are rising and a growing portion of the public is resentful of mass immigration, Harriet Harman sees it fit to introduce a new ‘hate' bill against the indigenous population. On a positive note, at least acts of treason like this reinforces everything the BNP and anyone with common sense has being saying about this tyrannical Labour government for the past few years.

    Voters in Henley today, you might want to think about Harriet Harman's bill before you cast your vote.

  16. I do not know whether this is the right section but non-the -less you may find this interesting as I live in one of those ares where the local numbers of Black and Asian residents is not very obvious as mentioned by Doctor Shah at The BBC. I have just read my local paper ‘The HUNTS POST' and in the letters section, there is a letter, two thirds of one column long headed ‘Time to Block Immigration'and printed in Bold Type. The last paragraph says, Quote-”Culturally, Financially,and Security wise, recent whole -scale uncontrolled immigration into Britain has been and continues to be an unmitigated disaster for The Indigenous population. The only political party with the will and strong policies for eliminating Migrant Crime is the fourth largest and Fastest-Growing one ,THE BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY” Yes this in a local paper in a town with a Tory controlled council, but with a Moslem as Mayor!!

  17. So racial and sexual discrimination, already widely practised with dubious legality in the police, fire service and other public bodies is now to be made legal in this country. I thought racial discrimination was something Harriet Harman and her left-wing cronies stood against in their student days when they were all so vocal over South Africa and Rhodesia.

    As well as being racist, Harman and her ilk demonstrate an unsufferably patronising attitude towards ethnic minorities by suggesting they need an unfair advantage to succeed against indigenous Britons - this is clearly nonsense. Over the years I came into contact with many capable fellow-workers from ethnic minorities who neither needed nor wanted this sort of patronising advantage, which was rightly seen as divisive.

    Dr Shah is spot-on in saying that a €˜metropolitan, largely liberal, white, middle-class elite' is responsible for this sort of nonsensical approach to matters concerning race. This description is fits Harman perfectly, she and her lot are phonies and it is good to see that not everyone is fooled. Well said, Dr Shah.

    Racial discrimination is to be legal under NuLabour, yet they have the nerve to call us in the BNP racists!

  18. The woman Harriet Harman as a minister times five at present is unable to present a Bill due to her position but instead uses her gofer, one Keith Vaz the Yemeni born back bencher who does the running around for her.

    He duly presented to Mr Speaker his ten minute rule Bill which was given 10 minutes and very speedily too in comparison to other Members who have never got to the starting gate.

    This Bill when it becomes law as it surely will do enables specified (by the Govt) constituencies to have only minority group members advanced by their parties to stand for election.No doubt Parliamentary elections first and all others later.

    This Bill will of course have the added benefit of denying our Party the same opportunities as the others.

    And Hilary Benn still believes this country is a democracy! I suspect he has a dimmer view than us.

  19. Oh well it's finally in writing isn't it? Because it has been happening for years in this country anyway so it hardly changes anything. This reminds me of a quote from Billy Connolly “The only people you are allowed to assault in this country are white heterosexual males”. It seems he was right after all, not that it needed proving.

  21. Equal pay for women might turn out to be a bit of a disappointment.

    Tea ladies who work in one Sth Yorks council thought they were going to get pay equal to that of the men… Oh no don't be silly, Male Council employees, like gardeners etc have had their pay cut so they are now equal with the tea ladies.

    Now that's what I call real sneaky, underhanded misrepresentation of the actual agenda.

    Posted by A Roberts | June 26, 2008, 1:30 pm
  22. What this legislation will also do is remove the ability for white males to sue on the grounds of discimination, no legal recourse what so ever..

    It will be legal to actively discriminate against the white male applicant and there isn't a damn thing he can do about it…..

    except vote BNP of course!

  23. I think that we white indigenous Brits might as well end up signing on, and then when they ask why you are off work for so long, tell them it's because you're white and can't get a job because the ethnic minorities get preference. I think we're heading back towards the times when Yozzer Hughes said ‘gizza a job'. Let's all vote BNP now and get them in power for next Major Election. Keep up the good work BNP.

  24. There should be some form of redress for what is happening to our people. I watched Paul Merton's Room 101 last night, and that fat Irish ”Comedian” who always appears on the BBC, name I cannot remember, was asked by Merton, what his dislikes were. He replied WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS. From the top, to the bottom, where he sits, there will one day be harsh retribution for this disgrace.

  28. As a vote winner it's a bit of a non-starter. [ :) - Ed. ] Harperson has probably not noticed, but most women outside of the Labour party have husbands, sons, uncles, nephews etc, some of whom are white. They aren't going to be thankful to Gord on High when little Jimmy gets turned down for a job at McDonalds because it's Abdul's turn.

  29. When, oh when are we going to get rid of these stupid idiots and their obsession with everything ‘ethnic' which isn't White or indigenous? There MUST be a medical term for the condition being suffered by the likes of Harriet Harperson. What is wrong with them? There is so much to be done, so many wrongs to be put right, so many potential opportunities for doing good in the World - starting at home of course - yet the best these sawdust-for-brains can come up with, is a daily diet of irrelevant, nonsensical garbage guaranteed to repel anyone with the slightest remaining nano-ounce of common sense.

    Sling your hook the lot of you. It was funny at first but the joke is totally worn out now. Don't the vacuum-heads of the PC World really not understand, that most ‘ethnics' come here for a free ride on the backs of the British taxpayer? Why should I not get a job just because someone else happens to have a different skin colour or is a woman?

    Oh I get it - the stench is growing stronger. Common Purpose: turn logic, justice etc. upside-down, then once people expect lunacy as the norm, you'll be able to get away with ANYTHING. That's the psychology isn't it?

    Not working though, is it? No pun intended, of course. Lord, spare us these cretinous imbeciles and bring us a proper GOVERNMENT instead of these overgrown pseudo-intellectual inadequates!

  30. HOW TO TAKE OVER A COUNTRY WITHOUT A SHOT BEING FIRED, make a long term plan, not days,weeks,months or even years ahead, but decades ahead. Start with a female prime minister, then destroy everything that unites and empowers the male population, namely MARRIAGE,RELIGION,FAMILY LIFE and the UNIONS, totally destroy man's confidence in himself then add to the mix a purposely enlarged and never ending stream of etnically adverse immigration, now man is out of work and can no longer provide for his family so he feels less of a man, then he will be ripe then to follow feminist womans desire to see him grovel at their feet.

    Furthermore, turn them all into effeminate YES-MEN, wearers of make up, deodorants, hair products etc., then with the help of science, cut man totally out of the loop altogether, and as 1984 etc just breed them to do the menial jobs and fight the feminist wars.

    I have watched this come to pass for nearly 28 years, and now the feminists thanks to Thatcher have now got the powers, our male population are standing passively by and allowing their own demise to come to pass, anyway that was my sad conviction up untill I heard about and joined the BNP, now real men have a chance to reverse and kill off this evil, anti-Christ organization. Wake up British white males, and fight.

    Yes and No! Would the world not be a more peaceful and a fairer place, with women in charge - normal, adjusted women I mean? - Ed.

Somehow I think she must secretly admire the BNP so tries to push voters to it, there can be no other explanation for this perverted legislation. Let her dish up more anti- white tripe and send the voters rushing to the BNP.

  33. @samba: ‘If British white males can't see through this scam, then we are in serious trouble.'

    Just watch how many white males who have seen this news today, vote for the one party with three names (or should that be four with UKIP) today in Henley. I honestly can't get my head around it. I suppose I can partly understand why some gullible (white) people will fall for the Lib/Con trick as they think they are voting for change but anyone voting Labour has got to be either evil or just plain stupid.

    Even some of the bereaved who have lost their loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan will still vote for those who are indirectly responsible for their criminal, needless and pointless deaths. Stupid is as stupid does.

  35. So Harriet Harperson says quote “You don't get progress if there isn't a bit of a push forward” unquote. I know one thing. I'd like to give her and the pile of steaming excrement, aka The Labour Party, the push!

    Here's some gems from our beloved Equality Minister:-

    1. In 1990 Harman co-authored a report entitled “The Family Way”. It criticised the family unit and mothers who stay at home. In particular it questioned whether men were an asset to families at all and whether “the presence of fathers in families is necessarily a means to social harmony and cohesion”.

    2. Her three children share her surname and her husband has been known to introduce himself as ‘Jack Harman'.

    3. Voted for introducing a smoking ban.

    4. Voted for introducing ID cards.

    5. Voted for introducing student top-up fees.

    6. Voted for Labour's anti-terrorism laws.

    7.Voted for the Iraq war.

    8. Voted against investigating the Iraq war.

    9. Voted for the hunting ban.

    10. Voted for equal gay rights.

    11. Voted for the eradication from British society of all white, hetrosexual men!

    Obviously the last point is a joke - but for how long?

Frau Hermann, you are a disgrace to womankind, you give us all a bad name.

  40. I watched an interesting film on line the other day called ‘The Secret'. Basically its about a theory called the law of attraction (what goes around, comes around), its fairly interesting and there are lots of web sites providing information. Another good film is ‘What The Beep Do We Know', which can be seen on YouTtube. I am not saying that this theory is fact, but with all this talk about treating certain people less than human, I think they should be careful about what they say and think, but personally I hope they keep emanating the hate.

  41. geoffgc is perfectly correct, but it's not just white men who must wake up and fight, but white women also. The pages of the BNP website are full of comments from well meaning and, understandably, angry people who are concerned about what is happening but whinging is not the answer, is it?

    More and more comments on these pages mention the need to fight for OUR rights and freedom but ‘Ed' has to control many of these comments. So, let us ALL get off our backsides and actively support our party - the BNP - instead of moaning about what is being done to them by the “don't do what I do just do what I tell you” brigade.

    I do not live within the UK anymore, as my wife and I just could not stand what was being done to our country. When retirement arrived we moved away to the mountains. I never forget though, to always mention to my new neighbours exactly what is happening in Britain, and it is no surprise I'm sure, that similar things are happening all over Europe. I am not a racist or fascist but if I am prepared to accept that Africa is for Africans and India is for Indians etc, then what is so difficult for these “we know better than you” mob to accept that Europe is for Europeans?

    This law is an insult. Not just to white males but to all white people. If we are prepared to accept that we are all equal, why then must these cretins in Parliament say that people of a different ethnic background are to be treated as being better? It's a total nonsense, and will eventually lead to serious civil problems.

  42. Mrs S. - I wouldn't feel sorry for good old Jack Dromey. He is a dyed-in-the wool communist. A fanatical trade unionist, Deputy General Secretary of the Transport and General Workers Union and Treasurer of the Labour Party. Which, given the allegations of financial inproriety against him and Hatchet Face Harman, no wonder the Labour Party is in financial meltdown. Between January and March 2008, the Labour Party received just over £3 million in donations and are £17 million in debt! Maybe this shower of w*****s will slowly dissolve into a finacial blackhole oftheir own making!

    ….. The interest on the loans take the debts up to £24million. £7.6 million is due to be paid now. Fortunately for us, the way the Labour Party was established, the National Executive Committee members, which include McBean and Harman, are personally liable for Labour's debts and may be bankrupted. Bankrupts aren't allowed to be MPs - so some good may come from it all. See here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/may/29/labour -Ed

  44. I have read the article with what can only be described as bemusement. How far do they have to go before the British public will react or do something about it?

    Am I being stupid about this or what? But even if they do go ahead with what they are planning, won't it just cost the British tax-payers even more? Because if they openly discriminate against “White British Males” and will admit to wanting to do it ….. Can they not then just go to the law courts or the ECHR and claim open discrimination and sue for thousands like the supposed oppressed women and minorities do???

    I have worked in several fields of work and have never been paid more than a female or coloured collegue, so I don't understand where they get this “Oh, us poor women get up to 40% less pay than the men” …. I hand on heart, honestly have always been paid either the same or in some cases less than a woman, have been passed over for promotion and actually told that they have done it so as to make the numbers up of women or ethnics in higher positions, even though they considerd me the better applicant.

    I did seek legal advice on it saying I was being sexually and racially discriminated against, to which I was told, it was not racist because I was “WHITE” and it would be difficult to prove sexual discrimination because I was a “MAN” ………..

  45. Looks as if mad cow disease is back and spreading

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7474801.stm

    Theresa May, for the Conservatives, broadly welcomed the proposals but said they “confused the government's message” by allowing discrimination in certain circumstances.

  54. Attacks on the white male are nothing new. I remember Nick Griffin writing years ago on the subject of the feminisation of the white man, another prong of this assault against us. Anybody who doesn't think the white male is having his masculinity undermined might be interested to consider the current bus shelter advertising campaign by a well-known cosmetics company (here in Exeter anyway) which is trying to get us to use 'skin care' products for men (i.e. the same, probably carcinogenic, chemicals they use on women, but repackaged).

    The clever bit of course is that the advertisement is accompanied by pictures of male personalities known for their apparent virility. In other words, if ‘tough men' can put this muck on their faces, then it must be all right for ‘ordinary' men.

    I read a report some time ago that the sperm count of the British male had halved in the last few decades, and The Observer newspaper also reported (about four years ago?) that we were having the size of our genitalia reduced by toxins in food and packaging, to name just two sources (I kid you not!) These are examples of environmental pollution tolerated by our political masters who are quite happy to see the white male failing to reproduce and become more feminine. It's probably why they're also happy with the oestrogen that allegedly gets into the water supply nowadays.

    So lads, if you want to be more of a man: eat organic food, filter your water, avoid ‘personal care' products (and use an electric shaver), and tell the marketing people and the LibLabCon crowd to leave you alone - though you might like to use some more ‘appropriate' language while doing so…

This deceit has done more to degrade our women than any other poisonous philosophy of the C20th. While promising “freedom”, it has achieved the opposite. It is to be hoped that the people of Henley see through the whole farrago of evil promoted by the marxists and vote accordingly.

  59. Incredible. Just incredible. And this will cause all kinds of divisions - already some men are turning their ire onto women - as if we, as a gender, are responsible for what that irresponsible Harman woman does. WE'RE NOT!!

    I'm trying to look a bit deeper than what's on the surface here - trying to find out what the TRUE motives are which underpin this disgraceful proposed law. Because I'm sure there's more to this than meets the eye. It almost seems as though this government (and all the other parties, too) are deliberately trying to provoke a civil war. Hmmmm.

    But let's look on the bright side. You couldn't ask for a more effective recruitment campaign for the BNP than this - if this doesn't result in thousands and thousands of white British males - and their wives, sons, daughters and families - stampeding to join the BNP, then there's something wrong with them.

  61. “We need to make further progress on fairness and that's why we will legislate to give more scope for employers, if they want to increase the number of women or Black or Asian employees, to take positive action.” - Harriet Harman (who is destined for the history books following this act of supreme treachery)

    Since when has numerical inequality equalled discrimination? And since when has fairness equalled numerical quotas of individuals who belong to New Labour-approved self-interest groups? Succinctly put: since when has actual discrimination on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, disability, and age been a solution to alleged discrimination on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, disability, and age? Only in New Labour's centrally-planned wonderland is this possible.

    Harman wants to allow women, because they are women, to know how much I earn so that, if I'm earning more money than them, they can earn the same as me. Whatever happened to merit? The creature claims that forcing companies to employ from New Labour-approved self-interest groups will be good for the economy. On what basis? Perhaps, if New Labour left British companies alone to make money, they wouldn't all be so hasty to scarper abroad!

    Malcolm X once gave a great speech, an honest speech spoken from the heart, entitled “The Ballot or the Bullet”. Which is this country going to choose? With each aggressive act of war, the establishment brings us closer to this choice.

  62. Talking about Orwell, have you heard of The Orwell Prize? The Orwell Prize is administered by the Orwell Trust, the board of The Political Quarterly, and the Media Standards Trust (MST).

    The Board: Sir David Bell - Chair, MST Board, is the Chairman of the Financial Times and Chairman of COMMON PURPOSE International. Julia Middleton - Deputy Chair, MST Board, Founder and Chief Executive, COMMON PURPOSE. She is a passionate campaigner for more - and more diverse - leaders who are active in civil society.

    Check out the remainder of the board–it makes interesting reading.

    By the way, the MST is “an independent, not-for profit organisation that promotes high standards in news on behalf of the public”. I am guessing that promotion of Labour's Orwellian policies are the main aims here:

    NEW LABOUR'S NEWSPEAK/DOUBLESPEAK:

    EQUALITY *REALLY* MEANS INEQUALITY

    COHESION *REALLY* MEANS FRAGMENTATION

    DIVERSITY *REALLY* MEANS SAMENESS, SIMILARITY, UNIFORMITY

    CHANGE *REALLY* MEANS CHAOS

  63. ED - thanks for the Guardian link (Red Hand, 4.30 pm). I hadn't realised these ‘donors' would actually want their money back. (For example, The Co-operative bank, whose £2.61m loan is due to be repaid on June 30, has told the party it wants its money back, even though it is getting 7% interest. And several other examples taken apparently from the Electoral Commission website.)

    What I find absolutely hysterically funny is that this is the same idea as ‘PFI', in which the public has to pay back huge loans typically for 30 years for hospitals etc. Wouldn't it be great if Harman, Brown and the rest were made bankrupt as a result of their own policy. And preferably with every single one of their assets taken. ———– David Topple, you may remember ‘Brut' ('for men') in a funny bottle being promoted by a boxer in the 1960s. I suspect it's just money-making. Same reason that women's magazines refuse to show Russian women who don't ‘wear' makeup. As regards sperm count, I've been told there was a change in the measurement technique from counting under a microscope, to computerised counting. I suspect this accounts for the difference, but of course the media, BBC etc, are useless on science, as they prefer half witted women and ethnics to people who know their stuff).

There is absolutely no possible response she could give, she would be absolutely humiliated (if of course she wasn't a man-hater, but she is, so she wouldn't be ). As we all know politicians never have to account for or justify their words. Interviewers are their buffer zone to take any verbal difficulties coming their way. There is absolutely no doubt that Labour is finally finishing itself off, panic has set in for them and they are pressing all sorts of panic buttons to stop the rot. Trouble is, when you take control of a ship and you haven't bothered to learn the controls you are doomed to sink eventually. When they finally sink, the BNP will be there to rescue the long-suffering passengers. As for the crew? Hello, my name is Davy Jones!

  65. It's not just you, esselliott, I can't believe my own eyes & ears either. Not even the usual quick TV visit to the polling booths or the constituency. Not a word on Channel 5, 5.30 News nor the BBC or ITN News. And, I just checked, not a mention of the Henley by-election in today's Scottish version of the Daily Mail. This is unreal. I'm glad I get my news from the BNP site.

    Could it be that the lib/lab/con establishment & their MSM lackeys are terrified that New Labour will be demolished at the polls in Henley & a new force, the BNP, will emerge as a real contender & maybe even the main opposition party & split the cosy Lib/Lab/Con pact.

    So these media traitors completely ignore the by-election in hopes of concealing the truth from the British people & today the news is full of the global warming scam to fool the sheeple. I wonder if they will be able to do the same after the votes are counted. All these Marxist stooges do is make us even more determined. Theirs is a sham Marxist version of democracy, with the UK media performing the role of Tass & Pravda.

    There will be no lack of cameras at Mandela's upcoming concert where celebrities will trip over each other in the rush to be the biggest butt-kisser to a man who has only in the last few days seen fit to criticise his Marxist brother Mugabe in Zimbabwe. I wonder will ‘Necklace Winnie' be there? This Marxist so-called saint has been silent for years as Zimbabweans have died under the mad Marxist dictator.

    But the BNP gets stronger every day & I am very hopeful that the BNP will gain a breakthrough result at Henley & signal the start of the Lib/Lab/Con traitors descent into their well-deserved oblivion.

    God love us, ITN news is even showing us film of a Martin Luther King speech about equality relating to Harriet Harman's bill. They are really pulling out all the stops. If the BNP succeed, then expect the whole weekend in the media to be nothing but Mandela, Mandela & more Mandela.

    We really are living in an Orwellian society.

  66. I spoke to a pro-communist recently (with a Chinese wife), who attempted to deride the BNP attitude of absolute equality. He asked me why everyone should be paid the same, not understanding what I was talking about. I explained to him that everyone should be equal before the law, not that I, as a gardener, should be paid the same as a brain-surgeon. If I were to get into the ring with Mike Tyson I would stand no chance, but we would be fighting within the same rules. If southernbelle thinks that men will turn their anger on women, I think she's wrong. We'll turn our anger on New Labour, but make no mistake they know they're dead in the water.

Many, many years ago, before mobiles were invented - and before he was infamous - he asked me for 10p while he phoned a friend. I told him, “Have 20p and phone them both.”

    Unlike Mandelson, the rest of the EuroTrash and the Judas, Ischarriet Harman's latest anti-white-male treachery, it's just a joke. I suppose they are a joke of sorts, be it far from funny. Not much mention of the ethnic side to this latest legislation on the box today, just women and elderly. I wonder why that is?

  69. This Bill (it's not yet been passed into an Act) looks like provoking a lot of laughs. According to the Daily Mail (admittedly not good on detail) companies will have to publish the difference between average male and female salaries! Harman obviously hasn't studied the arithmetic behind the way averages fail to represent different distributions. The Mail says ‘The laws will enable employers to give preferential treatment to women or ethnic minorities if candidates are equally qualified' which sounds completely silly - if they are equally qualified, and they ‘may' give preference, prsuambly they may not, too, which is exactly the way it is now. Harman is obviously looking at this sort of thing: ‘.. one High Court judge from an ethnic minority, .. 8 per cent of university vice chancellors are women.. 11 per cent of directors.. female, no Asian woman MPS'. Not something relevant to 99% of the population. We'll have to see but this looks something like a non-starter to me, since it would be difficult to word it to be non-discriminatory.

    This is obvious, so why is she doing it? Some of the acute emails here suggest it's minorities calling in their favours. Maybe. My guess is possibly NuLab wants to get some female votes from the Tories, though since many Tory wives aren't keen on hard work and in any case might prefer Cameron's looks, it seems unlikely. So who knows. We'll have to look at the wording. Very likely it's just her trajectory continuing itself, a loose cannonball not yet stopped.

What more do they need revealed to them about the true nature of the Labour party's intentions for their future ( or lack of ) before they wake up and embrace reality?. The fact that a treacherous creature like Harman; a PC, left wing, extreme feminist, Common Purpose supporting hater of both men and this country should hold a position of power should send a chill down the spine of any white male. How they could then go on and vote for the party of which she is a senior member is beyond belief. Can you imagine actually being married to this creature. Jack Dromey, for all his faults, or Mr.Harman as he apparently calls himself, has both my pity but also my contempt for putting up with her.

Two of my female colleagues choose to work part time, their children are off their hands and independent of their parents, so my colleagues have no family commitments that require them to be off work. They earn less because they choose to not because they are forced to; both have husbands/partners who do work full time. Their total family income exceeds £60K I suppose HH will insist the part timers have their pay made up to equal those of us who work not just a full week but often in excess of the conditioned hours in order to get the job done. For some, especially single mothers, opting to work part time, can, with the aid of tax credits, exemptions and increased benefits actually be more financially rewarding than working full time.

  80. Dr Shah, above, is absolutely right. Ethnic minorities are over-represented on TV news channels. I call Channel 4, “the Asian channel”, for nearly all of its reporters and newsreaders are Asian. The exception is the aptly named, token white, John Snow! Other channels too are similar. On the BBC south-west news we have two Asians even though the south west still is 98% white. No room there for any true Plymothians–they don't speak English with the correct BBC accent. PS. It is a pity that Harman didn't bring in legislation banning discrimination on grounds of political belief. This injustice is, however, a handy liberal elite tool to keep the BNP in check. They don't want the people's voice heard. If you are ethnic white British it's OK to be discriminated against.

  84. PENDA: There IS a law that prevents discrimination of political views, it is in the Human Rights Act. The illegal grounds of discrimination set out in the Human Rights Act are as follows -

    Sex - this covers not only a person's gender, but also pregnancy and childbirth (for example, an employer discriminating against a female employee who's on maternity leave);

    Marital Status - this means being single, married, or in a civil union or de facto relationship, separated or divorced, or having split up with your de facto partner, widowed;

    Religious or Ethical Belief - ethical belief means not having a particular religious belief, or not having any religious beliefs;

    Colour, Race, Ethnic or National Origin - this includes nationality or citizenship;

    Disability - this means a physical disability or illness, a psychiatric illness, an intellectual or psychological disability, any other physical or psychological loss or abnormality being reliant on aids such as a guide dog or wheelchair, having organisms in your body that could cause illness (HIV or hepatitis for example);

    Age - this ground only protects people who are 16 or older. It's therefore legal to discriminate against children under 16 on the basis of their age;

    Political Opinion - this includes having no political opinion;

    Employment Status - this means being unemployed, receiving a welfare benefit or an ACC entitlement (like weekly compensation);

    Family Status - this means being responsible for children or other dependents, or not being responsible for any children or dependents, being married to, or being in a civil union or de facto relationship with a particular person, being related to a particular person;

    Sexual Orientation - this means being heterosexual, homosexual, lesbian, or bisexual.

    Which means Brown's British jobs for British workers was illegal. It means Harriet Harman's discrimination against white males is illegal. Also discrimination against BNP members/supporters is illegal too.

    Of course, only those who break the law and wind up in jail get afforded their full human rights supported, and as they don't need to foot the high cost of the legal bills, they have nothing to lose from bringing a case against the government. They signed up to the Human Rights Act, yet don't abide by it themselves.

    On the Harriet Harman point about having more ethnic minorities, more females etc. in Parliament, she misses the most important point; all that would happen is that white male middle class and snob lawyers, academics and professional politicians would be replaced by black middle class lawyers etc. It would be exactly the same type of out of touch, arrogant MPs, but they would have darker skins! If the desire is for MPs who are more representative of the people of the UK then we need working class white men and women who are not trade unionists with a Marxist agenda and small business men and women who actually run a proper business and employ staff as our representatives.

  91. I am a white, British-born male aged 26 from a middle class background. I personally feel that Labour institutionally discriminates against us white males, particularly the 17 - 26 year old bracket which is now almost total. They treat us all as criminals, and seem to happily push the stereotype that we are all binge drinking, drug-dependent wasters. The truth is, the white male is no longer fashionable in the eyes of the government and industry because they can get Eastern Europeans to do our work for half the price, hence they're always given priority (also rolling out the single mother vote won't hurt Labour in the forthcoming election, which they WILL LOSE). The problem is when the immigrants finally do go home (if that ever happens) there will be a serious skills deficit due to lack of investment in the white male. Also, anyone of a similar age and disposition who views your website will know how hard it is for the white male to find work especially in the folds of retail, office-related work, and the caring profession. With regard to the latter, it is virtually impossible to get training through the Job Centre if you're a white male, in fact in my region it's impossible to get any form of training out of the Job Centre even though you are entitled to it–so the government says in their worthless failure New Deal Program.

  93. It's been on the cards for years now. Am I the only one to notice that white news readers and weather people are becoming a thing of the past? In the same way that NOTHING can be advertised without a black person somewhere in the picture. This has been a cunning plan to “get us used to seeing more and more ethnics in our lives.” Sorry Gordon, but the more you force your treacherous game on the public,the more we resent it. I often wonder if these politicians truly realise how much they are hated and despised by the genuine, patriotic, native population of this country. They are either too thick skinned,or maybe just too thick to take in public opinion.

  94. What right does Harman have to say no whites need apply for high profile positions? It would be interesting to have a comment from Alan Sugar of “The Apprentice” fame–surely the right person for the job is the correct criteria how difficult is that? This has now gone way beyond a joke. WAKE UP YOU BRITS AND VOTE BNP. They are taking the p***. I'll say it again, VOTE BNP. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THIS MADNESS. D.H Auckland

  96. This piece of legislation has got to be the final nail in the coffin for Nu Labour. Couple it together with the EU constitution (read Lisbon Treaty) forced through without a referendum by McBeen the Un-elected and you have a heady mix of pure treachery by government ministers, self-destroying lunacy for Britain and legalized disenfranchisement for white British males.

    Echo this Labour position against the resounding silence of not only legitimate opposition, but even reasonable questioning from the Tory and Liberal shower, and you have overwhelming proof that the Lib/Lab/Con trick has swung into complete synchronicity on core policy.

    It really is CP in actual full-on manifestation. I mean really, you could not make this up. Think of someone telling you 20 or even 10 years ago that this whole catastrophe would be law? They'd have been laughed out of town, and rightly so.

    The reality is that private businessrd who exist to make a profit don't tend to like government telling them what to do, particulalrly if these discriminatory measures start to effect their bottom line profit. It may work in the public sector where no one these days ever gets fired for poor performance or incompetence (See Harmen + all of Nu Labour, NAO, FSA, DTI, et. al.) but it will end up biting the very people it was set up to promote, as when push comes to shove money will always win-out over PC nonsense and businesses will find a way of doing the absolute bare minimum in law.

  97. As a straight White male, why should I even consider voting New Labour? Any New Labour lurkers (I know you're reading this) please try to give me a couple of soundbites. I'm sure Ed will allow them in the sense of fair play.

  98. Gyukcas– is not quite correct in his claim that white newsreaders and weather people are becoming a thing of the past. It is white English males who are disproportionately missing on TV. I have a little game I play when watching the news; I start a count of every non English male, presenter, reporter interviewee who appears, and stop only when an Englishman pops up, (Welsh, Scottish or Irish don't count in this game-I have nothing against them) I got up to nine the other night although I do receive Midlands BBC News. I have no problem with having one or two but to virtually exclude 43% of the population of the UK smacks of a deliberate and sinister policy. Perhaps we could turn my little game into a national one and see just how many non white English males appear consecutively in news programmes and reports. The BNP could award a monthly prize (a token?) to the winning(?!) programme. How about it?

  99. Bertie Bert. I did not realise that the Human Rights Act gave protection against discrimination for ones political beliefs or lack of them. How come, therefore, the Prison Service, for one, can get away with discriminating against BNP supporters by not allowing them jobs in the prison service?

    …. They were very disingenuos when they drafted the legislation. Although ‘beliefs' are protected, they exempted political affiliation from the Act - and we all know why did that, don't we? -Ed

  100. If proof is needed as to Harman's desire to exterminate, in particular, the white male: This URL http://www.jobsite.co.uk/cgi-bin/vacdetails.pl?selection=928807864&src=search displays a job in Nottingham that will assist the unskilled African to come over, steal our jobs, steal our homes and steal our higher education places while we fund them to do so. All because that treacherous woman and her treacherous party want to destroy the indigenous British people.

  101. Well New Labour lurkers, you've had over 5 hours and not a single response. Again, why should I vote for you when you actively discriminate against a straight White male being employed?

  102. Insider, I am always amazed at how many non-whites are interviewed on my local regional news Programmes on topics that are not race related. There was a story recently involving a primary school, nothing to do with race. There were eight kids in the background none white! I'm glad I am not the only one counting, but it is a serious state of affairs when one part of you is taking in a story and the other part is conscious of the ethnic makeup of people on TV. This government has raised peoples awareness of cultural differences, not dispelled them and the fact that they do not mix, by trying to give what they think are subliminal messages on TV, but are simply too in-your-face to be subliminal. Black can never be white! Harman will be responsible for completely ethnic-only towns and cities up north. What will happen is that local white employers in very enriched areas will have to employ ethnics only. If the ethnics are employed but not up to the job the business goes down the pan. Small/medium white businesses will disappear or move out because they don't have the skill to compete nationwide. Nick Griffin predicted there would be rings of steel to stop warring in our ethnic cities. I think he is wrong. I believe we will have rings of white people outside of our ethnically-controlled cities. Birmingham will be one of the first cities to fall.

  103. Bloke at work today who I have been talking to re the BNP finally saw in reality what I have been telling him. Another voter. - I had a similar experience today also, Lancashire born. Keep spreading the word folks. - Ed

  104. Samir Shah is correct to say that blacks and Asians are over-represented on television. It is a symptom of having a liberal elite and it is pernicious because it makes white people feel ever more threatened. Some drama shows that are particularly guilty are Robin Hood, Oliver Twist and Doctor Who, where the BBC peddle the absurd myth that Britain has always been a multicoloured nation. They like to brainwash ‘em young.

  105. Still waiting, no response. I don't think anyone who is White, Straight and Male reading this will vote for you, New Labour.

  106. When Ms. Harman said that it will be up to employers whether or not they discriminate, she will not have overlooked the fact that it is the Government itself which is the employer for the public sector half of the economy. Even at the present time, managers in the public sector (I used to be one) will very often bend over backwards to avoid giving a job or a promotion to a white man if there is an ethnic minority person or a woman (better still an ethnic minority woman!) with the right qualifications, even if those qualifications are not quite as good as those of the white man: this is to avoid the likelihood of an inquisition and a chilling effect on his or her career if the “wrong” appointment is made.

    This goes on now although it is technically illegal, once it is legal the employment prospects for white men will be dire indeed.

  107. I've just worked it out. It is a deliberate policy of discrimination against white Englishmen which will leave them with only joining the Armed Forces as an option. Foreigners do not have an affinity with this country and would not fight on our behalf. Furthermore, some foreigners of a tanned persuasion would turn their guns on our own troops in wars involving their ‘Ummah' friends … so conscription is not an option for the government to boost troop numbers. Ergo - they have their soldier ants to fight their dirty oil wars for as long as it takes and the wheels of industry continue to grind, courtesy of the effniks thanks to the positive-discrimination now in their favour. Get out of that one, Harridan!

  108. People ask why are British Politicians wiping out their own race, surely they too will end up being wiped out?

    It's a little more complex than that, what these Despots are hoping to pull off is to eradicate the Nation states of the World, totally obliterate Nations with mass immigration and wars if necessary–Iraq, Yugoslavia, Africa. Think the EU, think the carving up of Iraq into Sunni, Shia, and Kurdish Provinces going on right now, think the North American union, think about the African Union, the Asian Union.

    What these Despots are hoping is that they will be able to rule over us Plebs with an Iron Fist, (Think the Police state they are building up around us right now).

    So you see the Global Elite are not wiping themselves out, just us Proles, you and me.

    IF millions die in the mayhem, so what, it will not affect them, they way they have it planned, we will not be able to get them out so why should they worry.

    We are cattle, sheep and we are being farmed.
