Support Our Troops - Bring Our Boys Home

Week 1

Saturday brings week two of the Support Our Troops campaign.  Groups and branches from the Isle of Wight, Scotland, Wales, England and over to Northern Ireland, will all be out to to show that we are the only political party that cares about our military personnel. 

Prior to week one of the campaign, it was reported that 90 tabletops would be in action over the first couple of days.  Since then, news has come in that the number during week two has increased to 100.  New groups in Scotland will also be cutting their teeth during the coming weeks.  Who knows what the number will be when week three kicks-off.

Photographic evidence has also shown that lines of people have been drawn to our campaign by signing our Bring Our Boys Home petition.  Most branches and groups have each reported back that 100's of people have put their name to our campaign, and others have signed up members of the public on the spot.

Week 2

From official reports around the internet, it looks like week two of the campaign beat the expected turnout of  100 groups and branches by an additional 20.  The official BNP website fedback that we had 120 tabletops setup in villages, towns, and city locations last weekend.  Many groups have also vowed to keep the message out there during the week days as well. 

On Nick Griffin's Twitter page today, it mentioned that 10,000's of signatures have already been gathered on the petitions.  With two more weeks left of the main push, we are probably looking at between 40,000 - 50,000 signatures in total.  This campaign will continue on a smaller scale, from October 18, so it's anyones guess what the final tally will be.

Good luck to all of our activists on October 2.

Week 3

From the handful of reports that have filtered onto the BNP website so far, it looks like the interest from the public is still as strong as it was during weeks 1 and 2.  People are still lining up to sign our petitions in the 1,000's.  A round up of the first three weeks has been captured by Bertie Bert from thebritishresistance.co.uk .  Please add their website to your favorites list.

Week 4

With the 4th weekend of the campaign behind us, and the main push now complete, it has been an extremely encouraging period for the British National Party.  The response on the ground, from the British public, has confirmed that the war in Afghanistan is very unpopular.  With a figure of 50,000 received signatures announced  last week, and many more weeks/months of action across Britain to come, we are on course to hit the 100,000 + mark before Christmas. 

Before now, there wasn't a political outlet for the frustration towards the Labour/Conservatives/LibDems ran "War on Terror".  The only option was to sign a high street petition ran by the anti-war/socialist worker party front groups.  As neither of the groups has any political representation, at any level, there was no way that they could force change.  The British National Party instead decided to campaign against the war seeing as no one else was interested.

With cuts to Social Services being made by the government, it doesn't seem fair that the Con/Dem alliance are still giving the U.K Ministry of Defence Billion's of pounds a year to fund this war until 2015.  Our troops should be brought home and the money should be used to protect our borders and police our dangerous streets.
