SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

  December 2022 edition

  It has been very interesting to note how little publicity there has been in the outside world regarding the travails which have recently befallen the “new” South African president Cyril Ramaphosa.

  Ramaphosa currently faces a parliamentary investigation into accusations of corruption, kidnapping and bribery. Details of the allegations leveled against him are sketchy, but involve incidents which occurred at his privately-owned farm in Phala Phala, following a robbery there in 2020, when it was revealed that an estimated US$4 million had been stolen – an incredibly large amount of cash with no indication of how a full-time president of the country could have come about it legally.

  Far more disturbing developments occurred after this robbery however, for Ramaphosa did not initially report the break-in, but when the suspects were apprehended by the SAPS he allegedly arranged for authorities personally loyal to him to kidnap those involved, and then attempt to bribe them to keep quiet about the amounts stolen and other aspects of what they found at his farm.

  Ramaphosa is of course president of the “new” South Africa by virtue of being the current leader of the ANC, the ruling party of the country whose origins are rooted in terrorism. Ramaphosa furthermore was a close confident of the ANC terrorist leader “Nelson” Mandela, who after being imposed as the first president of the “new” South Africa presided over a quasi-genocide pogrom of White farmers and inner-city dwellers. The ANC however is not the united monolithic party which many believe it to be. After the demonic Mandela was levered out of power there was a fierce power-struggle between Ramaphosa and the more sensible wing of the party led by Thabo Mbeki. Mbeki totally outmaneuvered Ramaphosa, but he was never forgiven for this! Mbeki himself was thereafter also levered out of power, and after the nominal Zulu Jacob Zuma proved too corrupt even for the ANC Ramaphosa finally achieved his revenge against Mbeki – only for him now to face Zuma-like allegations of corruption.

  It is quite clear therefore that the “new” South Africa will shortly be witnessing a vicious power-struggle within the ANC which will almost certainly erupt into a full-scale civil war – a civil war which will be even more horrific than the civil war between the ANC and Inkatha during the early 1990s, and the similar violent clashes between the Xhosa-dominated ANC hierarchy and the Zulus following the deposing of Zuma. As this violent power-struggle escalates those Whites remaining in the “new” South Africa will be specifically targeted by the fanatically anti-White Ramaphosa faction, in much the same way as they suffered under Ramaphosa’s mentor Mandela.

  There are those in the outside world who argue that as the Whites of South Africa voted overwhelmingly for the sellout National Party throughout the 1980s, and eagerly voted “Yes” in favour of surrendering their country at both the 1983 and 1992 constitutional referenda, that they therefore do not deserve any sympathy for the present terrifying position which they find themselves in. We do not agree however. All those White South Africans under the age of 40 could not have voted in any of these sellout polls. They should not be blamed for the stupidity of their parents and grandparents, and deserve our full support and sympathy. We repeat the advice which we gave to all decent Whites at the time of the handover of the country to the ANC terrorists in the 1990s however. They should get out of their ruined country as soon as possible and by whatever means possible, and should then join the resistance struggle in exile.

  SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

  As most readers will be aware, the Springbok Club’s UDI Anniversary celebration buffet-meeting last month was beset with problems. Firstly an ASLEF rail strike was called for the original planned date of this event, and although the venue where the buffet-meeting took place most kindly let us change the date of the booking at short notice and for no extra cost, this replacement date was alas inconvenient for the planned guest speaker, Mr. Bryn Price. Happily Mr. Gavin Sandeman, who was scheduled to be the organisation’s guest speaker in February of next year, stepped in at short notice, ad gave a most fascinating and enthralling talk about his distant relative, Cmd. E.C. “Teddy” Tyndale-Biscoe, quoting from a number of the letters and diaries of his illustrious distant relative about life and developments in he newly established country of Rhodesia during the 1890s. In spite of all the obstacles which the Springbok Club confronted this event still proved to be a resounding success, and with several new supporters in attendance it also gave great encouragement for the organisation’s growth during the next few months.

  ----------------------------

  The Springbok Club is planning a belated event to mark the Day of the Vow in central London towards the end of December. Alas further planned rail strikes mean that it won’t be able to be held on the actual Day of the Vow (16th December), and will be lower-key than originally intended, but if any reader would like to attend please e-mail: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk.

  The Springbok Club’s 2023 AGM is planned to take place in central London on Saturday 14th January of next year. After the business side of proceedings have been concluded it is hoped that a fascinating PowerPoint presentation about the life and career of Jan Christian Smuts will be shown.

  We are happy to be able to announce that Gavin Sandeman will still be addressing the Springbok Club in February 2023, this time reading from some of the further letters and diary entries of his illustrious distant relative, Cmd. E.C. “Teddy” Tyndale-Biscoe, and also from other prominent members of the Sandeman family. We are also pleased to confirm that Mr. Bryn Price will still be addressing the Springbok Club, probably in July 2023. Needless to say, further information about all these forthcoming events will be detailed in future editions of the SCN.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------

  PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS

  The Patriotic Forum’s 2022 AGM was successfully held last month, at which the organisation was formally re-constituted, and at which new Executive Committee was elected. A provisional itinerary of events was also agreed upon for 2023, the first of which being the organisation’s annual Burns Night/Australia Day celebration, which is scheduled to take place on or around 25th January 2023. More details will of course be given in next month’s SCN.

  MESSAGE FROM THE NETWORK FOR ANIMALS ORGANISATION

  We have recently received the following alarming report from the Network for Animals organisation about the killing of dogs for meat in Zambia (the former Northern Rhodesia). It reads as follows :-

  “We have disturbing news about the brutal dog meat trade, and we must tell you about it because we need your help - and FAST!

  “In Mkushi, Zambia, 70 dogs were found in a truck, in the most awful and shocking conditions, destined for the cruel and brutal dog meat trade, where dogs are slaughtered for their meat and eaten as a delicacy.

  “Right now, as you read these words, 20 of the dogs are miraculously still alive and in DESPERATE NEED OF HELP – and, eventually, loving homes!

  “In many parts of Africa, dog meat is considered a luxury and a “treat”. Locals indiscriminately round up any dogs they can find, often stealing pets from their homes. They pack them into trucks in the most brutal conditions and drive them to their fate: cruel and painful death.

  “At a routine traffic check, police stopped a truck when they heard distressed cries coming from inside. The truck was headed towards the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Alan, what the police found in the cargo hold was beyond sickening.

  “As a routine traffic check, police stopped a truck when they heard distressed cries coming from inside. The truck was headed towards the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Alan, what the police found in the cargo hold was beyond sickening.

  “Of the 70 dogs packed into the back of the truck, in disgusting inhumane conditions, 40 are already dead. The 30 surviving animals managed to stay alive by sticking their heads out of a small gap in the back of the truck’s doors, gasping for air, and were only barely clinging to life when the police made the gruesome discovery. Since this discovery, another 10 dogs have sadly succumbed to their injuries and suffered and have died.

  “The truck was heading towards the Congo, where dog meat is frequently on restaurant menus. The trade is illegal so the dogs would be beaten and axed to death in makeshift butcheries. Many used to be someone’s beloved PETS!

  “Upon investigation, it was determined that the dogs had been in the truck without food or water in the baking sun for at least three days.

  “Police in Zambia have the authority to shoot and kill dogs like these. Thankfully, and unusually, the police officer who found the dogs chose not to kill the animals on sight. Instead, he called local animal welfare organizations for help, who we are working with. The responders immediately sprang into action and began administering life-saving treatment to the surviving animals. 

  “Can you imagine the horror and suffering these dogs must have been experiencing? If you have ever sat in a hot car with the windows up, you will know how scary it is, and how desperate you are for air… how you would be gasping for breath. 

  “The authorities may still kill the survivors. We are hoping that reason will prevail but if that fails, we can seek a court order preventing them from being shot. This means that WE MUST ACT FAST and do everything we can to save and help the survivors – to get them care and FIND THEM HOMES!

  “It is a ghastly situation - 40 animals died from suffocation, exhaustion and extreme heat stroke - and another 10 couldn’t hang on even after the truck was stopped and there was hope. It is a tragedy that the survivors were forced to watch their friends die - and then remain trapped with them in the back of a baking hot van as they fought for their every breath.

  “Those who have survived desperately need, and deserve, our help!

  “They are malnourished, covered in parasites, and have developed sores from where they were squashed and pressed up against each other in the cargo. They are, of course, utterly traumatized - many of these poor animals were probably pets, stolen from their homes and sold for a pittance into the dog meat trade. 

  “With our help - yours, and ours - vets and volunteers on the ground will provide critical medical treatment and food to the dogs and will continue their battle to challenge the court order to have them killed. They have reached out to us for help and of course, we have agreed without hesitation! Every animal life is worth fighting for!

  “A dog’s life is worth almost nothing in Zambia - but to you, and us, every dog's life is worth fighting for, and saving. Will you stand with us as we fight for the miracle survivors of Zambia’s dog meat trade?

  “Please donate right now so that we can do everything in our power to ensure the best possible outcome for the animals. If we can raise $10,000 (£8,500), we can help feed and rehabilitate the survivors of this awful situation, help find them homes and prevent the unthinkable from happening: the dogs being shot to death.

  “For the animals,

  “ROGUE HEROES” AND ‘PADDY’ MAYNE

  In an article by Gavin Mairs reviewing the BBC’s otherwise excellent drama series about the foundation of the SAS, Rogue Heroes, which appeared in The Daily Telegraph of 9 December, Mairs accurately points out that probably the most important aspect about Lt.Col. Blair ‘Paddy’ Mayne, a key founding member of the SAS who went on to replace Lt.Col. David Stirling as commanding officer of the regiment, wasn’t mentioned in this series, namely that he was an Irish and British Lions Rugby international.

  Robert Blair ‘Paddy’ Mayne was born at Newtownards, and played as lock forward for Ards RFC, Queens University Belfast and Malone RFC. He played many times for Ulster (the exact number is disputed), six times for Ireland (scoring one try) and was a member of the British Lions touring squad which visited South Africa in 1938. During this tour he played in 20 of the 28 games, including all three Test Matches. ‘Paddy’ Mayne was actually a superb all-round sportsman, being an accomplished boxer and excelling at Cricket, Golf and Shooting. It is therefore astonishing that this most fundamental facet of ‘Paddy’ Mayne’s life was never mentioned in the script of the BBC drama series.

  But this wasn’t the only puzzling aspect about the BBC script. Mayne is routinely referred to by his comrades as an “Irishman”. He however came from a staunchly Unionist family, proudly played for the British Lions (and furthermore was prepared to tour South Africa when the country still enjoyed civilised White rule, without any form of objection!) and eagerly volunteered to serve in the British Army. Surely therefore his comrades would have referred to him as an Ulsterman rather than as an Irishman?

  Could it be that there was some form of political interference in the script-writing, which led to emphasise – or possibly exaggeration – of the raucous nature of ‘Paddy’ Mayne’s character at the expense of the heroic, patriotic and sporting-superman nature of his character?

  [ Further mention of “Paddy” Mayne is included in the article “Ulster and the Empire” which appeared in edition No.41 of The Imperial Patriot.]

  MESSAGE FROM THE FLAME LILY FOUNDATION

  We have recently received the following most important message from our good friends at the Flame Lily Foundation :-

  “Dear Friend of the Flame Lily Foundation,

  “When Mary and I linked up with RASA in 1982 we had no idea that we would still be actively involved 40 years later - almost half a lifetime for us. We feel that we have run the race and now need to hand over our batons to runners coming behind us. John was unable to attend the FLF's annual general meeting in May this year due to illness (chronic lung fibrosis) . I (Mary) took John's place for the second time, the previous one being in 2010 after he had been in hospital for five weeks (three spent in ICU).

  “The National AGM took the decision to close down our four remaining Affordable Homes at Stilfontein, as municipal charges have rendered them unsustainable. We will continue to operate Grateful Gran for pensioner members in need of financial assistance. The FLF-RASA office in Pretoria has been closed and our landline (012 460 2066) was discontinued at the end of August. Please use our current email address (rasa@iafrica.com) if you wish to contact us as our PO Box has been closed.

    “Our daughters, Yvonne and Lyn, encouraged us to sell our home (which included the FLF office) and move to the coast for health reasons - East London first and possibly Swakopmund later on, God willing. We had not realised how much “junk” we had amassed in our house over the 42 years in Pretoria. Downsizing one's own possessions is one thing, but including the FLF's office created an almost impossible task. We thank God that our daughters abandoned their homes and husbands to help us, along with Kay Gearty and Thomas Jani our Zimbabwean gardener. Because the house was sold immediately after we put it on the market, we had to be out by the end of August. We flew to East London on 16 August, leaving Lyn and our eldest grandson, Gareth, to dispose of what was left.

  “RASA-FLF has been a wonderful experience for us and it became our life. We have had the privilege of meeting a large number of Rhodesians whom we would never otherwise have got to know. RASA set out initially to help new arrivals from Zimbabwe to settle in South Africa and accept it as their new home. With the generous support of our members we were able to help some with financial difficulties, others socially or spiritually. Many of the newcomers had employment on arrival, bur several were reliant on their Zimbabwe pension or investments. As these incomes dwindled and ultimately fizzled-out due to hyper-inflation, we had to pay more attention to our elderly folk. When pensions again became available in US dollars we helped the Pensions Office in Harare by notifying pensioners and helping them to get their pension reinstated. Sadly, pensions have again fallen in value since adoption of the new Zimbabwe currency. Pensions due from January to June 2021 were only paid into Standard Bank accounts around 18 August 2022.

    “We will keep in touch with the Zimbabwe Consulate in Johannesburg (currently Mr Henry Pasvani) and Rob Anderson who deals with the Pensions Office in Harare. We will still be able to provide advice to pensioners who contact us by email.

  “Without facilities to produce the Msasa Mail and FLAG, we have asked Dr Peter Hammond, chairman of the FLF’s Cape Peninsula branch, to distribute The Fish Eagle by email to our Pretoria branch members. He is the new editor of The Rhosarian, magazine which can be viewed digitally on the FLF website: www.flf-rasa.co.za.

  “Please let us know if you would like to receive future issues of The Rhosarian, otherwise this may be our last contact with you.

  “We are told that there is a time for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

  “We wish you all good health, safety and God’s blessing.

    “John and Mary Redfern

“Flame Lily Foundation”

  Without doubt the Flame Lily Foundation/Rhodesian Association of South Africa has performed a Herculean task in not only assisting those ex-Rhodesians forced into exile following the advent of the ZANU-PF regime, but also by keeping the Rhodesia culture, traditions and ideals alive for over 40 years. John and Mary Redfern have proved true heroes of our times, and their efforts should never be forgotten or abandoned. We wish them every success and happiness in their retirement, and trust that other sons and daughters of Rhodesia - and their descendents - will indeed pick up the baton and carry on the struggle, so that, to paraphrase the words of Clem Tholet, “The Flame Lily Foundation will never die”!

  PETITION IN SUPPORT OF LADY SUSAN HUSSEY

  A supporter from Devon has recently alerted us to a most worthy petition calling upon The King to re-instate Lady Susan Hussey (Baroness Hussey of North Bradley) to her position in the Royal Household. Baroness Hussey was of course asked to resign her position by some “politically correct” nonentity following publicity given to some remarks made by negress who bizarrely objected to a polite question from Baroness Hussey asking where she came from! Although the phraseology of this petition perhaps leaves something to be desired, it is undoubtedly fully deserving of support, and so we therefore encourage all our readers to sign it.

  WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

  No.289: Mr. HARRY SHELDON of Chichester

  Harry Sheldon made good contact with both the Springbok Club and the Swinton Circle (before the organisation merged with New Britain to form the Patriotic Forum) about a dozen years ago, when he was still studying at the University of London. He initially proved a very keen and dedicated supporter, but after a few years he disappeared completely from the scene, and we heard rumour that he was experiencing domestic problems. Invitations to various events continued to be sent to him c/o his parents’ address in Chichester however, but alas the latest of these has recently been returned as his family are evidently no longer living at their last known address. If anyone knows how he can now be contacted we would of course be most grateful.

  LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

  HONEST GOV’!

  Sir,

  It is highly ironic that all these politicians and pundits keep referring to honesty, trust and truthfulness as a must in politics and government. When the Conservatives, Labour and Liberals/LibDems have been deceiving us and lying to us for well over 50 years about the EU!

  Yours etc.,

  J.W.H., Salisbury, Wiltshire, U.K.

  ----------------------------

  HUNT SUPPORTER

  Sir,

  Esther McVey must be regretting supporting Jeremy Hunt with his socialist policies. It is beyond me way she supported him in the first place.

  Yours etc.,

  Boris Catt, Bromley, London, U.K.

  ----------------------------

FRACKING MARVELLOUS

  Sir,

  Many thanks for my copy of the latest SCN.

  Our Party political systems/Democracies share many of the same problems and challenges. I thought that I would pass on to you this report from Immigration Watch Canada. It is a detailed account of the changing face of Canada over the past 50 or so years. Not an emotional rant, an accurate statement of facts. Ottawa's immigration policies have changed not only the character of Canadian society but also its economy. Canada is so very fortunate to have massive natural resources that the world needs. They do not, though, last forever!!

  Canada's debts now exceed $C8 Trillion. That's Federal, Provincial governments and Household

This against a GDP of around $C1.8 Trillion. My figures may be slightly out of date but not by much. Ottawa's Office for Budget Monitoring stated earlier this year that "Seven Canadian provinces will become bankrupt in 2023/4 if they go ahead with their spending plans".

We live in "difficult times",

  All attention is on Russia/Ukraine and lately Sri Lanka, but there are many, many, more very serious problems around this planet of ours! Energy supplies have dominated the news. The UK, for example, heavily subsidised companies installing wind and solar farms over the years and put a stop on fracking for gas and oil. Problem was that no wind = little or no power!!

  Many big changes in policies now due to the Russian situation and the "Green Agendas" of Boris Johnson, Germany etc.? Fracking is now out of the window. 

  Yours etc.,

  P.R.S., British Columbia, Canada

  ----------------------------

  CEYLON TEASER

  Sir,

  The article “for all climate change deniers!” which was recently re-circulated via the Patriotic Forum Circulation Service was marvelous and so wonderfully detailed on the truth about Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). I also think this article, ironically enough published just after Sri Lanka basically collapsed their food supply and subsequently the entire Sri Lankan economy (leaving Sri Lanka in outright ruin), highlights just how much damage comes from these loony left climate idiots. In fact, just last evening, the Saudi Arabian King warned the world (with the addled, so-called, senile, election-stealing U.S. President by his side) that alternative 'Green Energy' sources are absolutely an economic disaster; and I am forced to agree with him.

  Yet, it's a sad day for Western Civilization when the world has to rely on an Arabian king or countries still thinking straight out of the stone ages to point out that which is so obvious. It's also a sad day for Western Civilization when liberal writers (such as Gwen Dyer, whom I once corresponded with personally) try to blame-shift Sri Lanka's spectacular collapse onto lesser elements of the crisis such as corruption, financial mismanagement and spending off their precious foreign reserves. Yes, that's all true (and if you're going to do business with countries governed by lesser breeds), one should usually expect corruption and child-like games with the public's money and vital interests. I see it in Thailand everyday; literally.

  Yet, what none of the mainstream media talk about is that Sri Lanka really collapsed because of an abrupt shift to 'Green energy' last year, including AGW climate policy. You see, what really went down in Sri Lanka was, last year, in a bid to become the first '100% organic country in the world,' Sri Lanka banned all fertilizers outright, overnight. Well, what you don't read in the mainstream news is that 'Green New Deal' was a fatal blow for Sri Lanka because it cut crop yields by a whopping 50% within a year. Very few nations can survive the impact of having a 50% drop in food so quickly; and so that was the true culprit which destroyed the economy of Sri Lanka - a lush tropical jewel which could be self-sustaining - and, what many young Sri Lankans (who have been brainwashed into the climate craze) forget to tell you is that they were all for the 'Green New Deal,' but now that it went bad and sent the entire Sri Lankan nation into outright ruin, rather than take personal accountability and just admit 'I was wrong,' every Sri Lankan wants to dump all the blame upon the recently resigned ruling family of five brothers. But, the truth really is that young Sri Lankans eagerly wanted the very same 'Green Farming' policy which ruined their country, but rather than publicise the truth the mainstream media are, of course, burying it by blame-shifting everything onto the former Sri Lankan ruling family. [Their corruption & mismanagement only were contributing causes to the destruction of a tropical gem; the true cause was 'Green Farming' sent Sri Lankan farming straight back into the stone ages and the ruling family spent everything to try to stop the economic/nutritional malaise resulting from indulging the young climate zealots, which then collapsed the country.]

  So, looking to Sri Lanka, the net result of 'Green Energy' is now that the kids have no pens or paper for school. The kids also have no school bus because Sri Lanka is so ruined they cannot even by fuel. They also only have one meal a day because there will be no restoration of the food supply for at least one or two years, so the kids cannot walk to school as they are malnourished. Last week, two men died standing in the heat for hours just to get basic necessities. The entire country is also profoundly poor and has no money because all of that pushed Sri Lanka's inflation rate to 78% as of last week and still climbing. Their banking system will also probably see a complete collapse due to collapsing savings and a near total collapse of the real estate sector.  

  Now, imagine that today your family meal costs you £10, but virtually overnight it now costs £70 and inflation is still climbing, not too much unlike the collapse of Zimbabwe’s (Rhodesia's) currency a few years ago. That (in simplistic terms) is how this utter madness ended in Sri Lanka. It's a clear and poignant warning for the West, yet even with the truth being so plain to see that even an Arabian monarch can piece it together, rather than reading headlines warning the world about what a 'Green New Deal' really means, the media lies about it. (Only the Indian news has been at all honest about what sank Sri Lanka. I found barely anything more than brief references to the root cause [no pun intended] in any Western news outlets.)

  So, I really did appreciate this article. I certainly do agree that we want to make new fossil fuel burning vehicles and power plants more REASONABLY efficient and as environmentally sound as is REASONABLY possible, but there's a big difference between using a US$110 catalytic converter versus spending US$100,000 to purchase a new (and very unreliable) Tesla that still has emissions anyway because the power has to mainly come from the power plant.

  What a sad day for the world. I pity the Sri Lankan people, but I recall they were once under civilised rule from Britain. If they are really smart, they might want to put people like us back in charge again. After all, then they would have a country they could depend on.

  Yours etc.,

  Prof. Jason Jellison, Bangkok, Thailand

  REMEMBERING TOM VAN VOLLENHOVEN

  During informal conversations following the Springbok Club’s most enjoyable recent UDI Anniversary celebration buffet-meeting, the subject of Tom van Vollenhoven came up.

  Karel Thomas “Tom” van Vollenhoven was born at Bethlehem in the O.F.S. in 1935, and was probably one of the greatest wing three-quarters that South Africa ever produced. He played Currie Cup Rugby both for Northern Transvaal and for Rhodesia (who at the time played some of their matches at Lusaka, where one of his most spectacular tries was scored), and gained seven Springbok Caps during 1955 and 1956, playing against both the British Lions and New Zealand.

  Tom van Vollenhoven’s name however is rarely mentioned in today’s South African Rugby Union circles, mainly because at the height of his fame he decided to “Go North”, being one of the first South Africans to switch codes to Rugby League – and he was certainly the most successful! He proved to be a “one club man” during his Rugby League career, playing all his matches – 409 in all – for St.Helens, and scoring 397 tries.

  This present writer had the great privilege – indeed honour – of meeting and having a good chat with Tom van Vollenhoven (who was proudly wearing his Springbok tie at the time!) shortly before the British Lions v. South Africa 3rd Test Match at Port Elizabeth in 1974 (which the British Lions won 26-9). He proved to be a most friendly, affable and down-to-earth man, who had a remarkably detailed knowledge of the Fookarwe tribe of central African pigmies. Evidently he had returned to South Africa after his playing days at St.Helens were over, having been given a job as a sales representative for – surprise, surprise – Pilkington Glass!

  Following mention of him at the Springbok Club event we checked up on what had happened to Tom van Vollenhoven, only to discover that sadly he had died at Springs in 2017. There seemed to have been very little publicity given to his death at the time, though the St.Helens Borough Council had evidently ordered the town hall flag to be lowered to half-mask in honour of his memory. It would seem therefore that his adopted country had a higher regard for him than the country of his birth. It is a pity therefore that he evidently decided to remain in the “new” South Africa, which of course is a vastly different country to that where he seemed to be living happily when I met him in 1974.

November 2022 Edition.

SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

November 2022 edition

The election by a majority of British Conservative MPs of a foreigner as Prime Minister has brought disgrace not only to the Conservative Party, but also to the British nation as a whole. There have of course been British Prime Ministers with foreign blood in their veins in the past, most notably of course Boris Johnson, but this new incumbent who has been foisted on the British people isn’t just a foreigner – he is from a completely different ethnic group! This unbelievable development has made Britain a laughing-stock elsewhere around the Western World, with patriots from other Western nations pouring scorn on the British nation for the shame which it has brought upon itself – and they are surely right in so doing!

But it isn’t only the new leader of the Conservative Party who is an ethnically-alien foreigner, but also many of the leading members of the cabinet – and furthermore this has been the case under all three of the last three Prime Ministers! So just what has happened to the once great British Conservative Party – at one time the most successful and indestructible political party in the Western World? It is just as if Conservative MPs have a collective death-wish! For the first time for over two hundred years the unthinkable now seems to be happening – the disintegration of the once supremely powerful British Conservative Party.

As we stated in the July 2022 Edition of the SCN: “Although we are of course totally opposed to socialism …. we even so believe that it is in Britain’s best interests that a General Election is held soon, and that the only viable alternative government, Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, is elected with a massive majority. This will give a five-year breathing space for either the Conservative Party to reform itself …. or alternatively – perhaps preferably – for the various component parties which emerged from the collapse of UKIP to get their act together and to form a united and genuinely patriotic alternative party.” Since writing this, of course, it has become apparent that the Conservative Party is now totally incapable of reforming itself, for after all it is not only Conservative Party MPs but also grass-roots Conservative members who have selected ethnically-alien foreigners to become their MPs who have been to blame for the current appalling situation.

It is now therefore more urgent and vital than ever that the several currently fringe patriotic parties who emerged from UKIP should unite to present a conceivable alternative to the Labour Party. The strongest such party seems to be the Reform Party, which is the direct descendent of the successful Brexit Party. Alas, however, it has a very unfortunate name with strong leftist connotations. The Reclaim Party’s name seems only slightly better, though it does seem to have an encouraging dynamism, and of course UKIP itself is still in existence with advantageous name-recognition. Two smaller parties, the British Freedom Party and the Patriotic Alternative, in spite of some very attractive policies, seem alas to be too tiny and poorly administered (judging from our own experiences of their failures to respond to correspondence) to be considered viable in themselves.

We therefore call upon all – or certainly most – of these parties to put all their differences and bickering behind them, and to unite to create a single dynamic patriotic party capable of providing a viable opposition to the Labour Party. The very future of the British nation is after all at stake.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

The Springbok Club will be holding a special buffet-meeting to celebrate the anniversary of UDI later this month, the details of which are as follows :-

Date : Saturday 26th November 2022

Time : assemble from 12.00 noon onwards, meeting to commence at 13.00 hrs.

Venue: THE ANTELOPE (the upstairs dining room), 22 Eaton Terrace, Belgravia, London SW1W 8EZ. (nearest tube station: Sloane Square - turn right out of the main entrance, then right again into the north side of Sloane Square which becomes Cliveden Place, then finally left into Eaton Terrace where The Antelope is on the left).

Guest Speaker : Mr. Bryn Price MA, DMS, VMS, MSM (Rhodesia)

Bryn Price was born and bred in Rhodesia. After leaving school, where he excelled at cross-country running and Rugby, he joined the Department of Internal Affairs, rising to the rank of District Officer. He left Rhodesia following the takeover of the country by the ZANU-PF regime, moving firstly to South Africa and then to the UK in 1991, where he became actively involved with a number of expatriate Rhodesian organisations, including Rhodesians Worldwide and the Department of Internal Affairs Association. He regularly represents the Department of Internal Affairs and carries their flag at the annual Rhodesian Remembrance Day service outside Westminster Abbey.

He is married to fellow-Rhodesian Sandra, and currently lives in Maidstone. He is Director of Safer Kent (formerly The Kent People’s Trust), a charity dedicated to creating a better environment for everyone in Kent. He has competed in both the Comrades Marathon and the London Marathon, but his main sporting interest at the moment is marathon canoeing, where he has represented Great Britain in the K2 category at Masters (senior) level. In his talk he will tell something about his time and career working for the Rhodesian Department of Internal Affairs, and will also be detailing some of his experiences and achievements as a marathon canoeist at international level.

A sumptuous array of buffet snacks will be provided at this event, and the costs will be £15.00 per head for Full Members of the Springbok Club, £17.50 per head for Associate Members, and £20.00 per head for non-members.

----------------------------

The Springbok Club is planning a special event to mark the Day of the Vow in central London during December, and will be holding its 2023 AGM in January of next year, after which a fascinating PowerPoint presentation will be shown. Further details of both these events will be given in the December Edition of the SCN.

------------------------------------------------------------------

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS

The Patriotic Forum held a most interesting and informative meeting last month, at which the guest speaker was Mr. Peter Lindsay, the influential political analyst and commentator. In his well researched speech, which was entitled “The World Crisis”, Mr. Lindsay detailed how the mainstream media around the Western World were not relaying the full facts about the current conflict in the Ukraine, thereby stoking up misguided anti-Russian sentiments throughout the West, and how this was worryingly driving Russia further and further into the orbit of Communist China.

----------------------------

The Patriotic Forum’s 2022 AGM, at which the organisation will be formally re-constituted and a re-structured Executive Committee will be elected, will take place during the evening of Tuesday 15th November in central London. Full details about this event have been circulated to all current and former members of the Patriotic Forum, but if any other supporter would like to attend and join the organisation then they should e-mail: swinton@netcomuk.co.uk to obtain the precise details about the AGM. All new and renewed members are however reminded that only fully paid-up members can participate in proceedings, though membership fees, which currently stand at £12.00 per year, may be paid on the day.

MESSAGE FROM THE ANIMAL SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION

We have recently received the following extremely important report from the Animal Survival International organisation about the situation regarding the plight of elephants and other wildlife in the “new” South Africa’s Addo National Park. It reads as follows:-

“A crippling drought is devastating the wildlife of the Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa. To help the animals survive, we have been installing waterhole pumps across Addo's vast terrain (633 square miles or 1,640 square kilometers) to provide water, helping to ensure the survival of many species.

“In 2021 donations helped us install six state-of-the-art solar-powered water pumps to keep Addo’s main camp waterholes full (with great success!). Now a severe lack of water in Darlington, the northern-most part of he park, needs our urgent attention.

“Addo is situated in South Africa's Eastern Cape province, which because of climate change is battling its worst drought in 100 years. Addo reached out to us asking for help to provide water for elephants. Obviously, it is vitally important to ensure sufficient water flows once more for these parched elephants and other wildlife.

“We acted immediately, rushing a team to the region. The good news is that our investigation showed an immense water reservoir lying deep beneath the surface. ‘We discovered that if we can drill down 115 feet we can provide 1,320 gallons of water an hour – an enormous boon for the animals that could be the difference between life and death” says campaign director Luke Barritt.

“ Until recently, diesel-powered water pumps would have been used, but in these days we must provide a cleaner solution - solar-powered water pumps, because they are non-polluting. These pumps are also quieter, an important factor because wild animals get easily stressed by noise.

“If we can raise £6,500, we can give Addo's Darlington elephants and other wildlife enough water for them to be able to drink and bathe to their heart's content. Please, will you help us dig deep for water and install two new solar-powered pumps for waterholes?

“The speed at which global temperatures are rising is terrifying, and water is becoming increasingly scarce as droughts become more frequent, intense, and longer-lasting. We work with this issue every day, and every day, we become more alarmed by how serious water shortages are for animal survival. Prolonged dry spells pose life-threatening consequences to African elephants, the largest land mammals on the planet, who can drink up to 50 gallons of water daily. Water is also crucial for them to stay calm and do what elephants love to do - wallow in mud.

“The water shortage in Addo is especially poignant to us. In 2018, our supporters financed the successful relocation of a 28-strong elephant family to Darlington to ease pressure on the park's central region. Before the relocation, no elephants had lived in Darlington for over 150 years, after being hunted to extinction.

“We named the family the “Davies herd” after our founders, Brian and Gloria Davies, who are passionate about these magnificent creatures. Now, the elephants are desperately searching for their most critical life source, only to find empty waterholes and bone-dry riverbeds.

“African savanna elephant populations have dwindled by at least 60% over the last 50 years. They are now listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The biggest threats faced by these giants are habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict and wildlife crime - primarily, poaching for the illegal ivory trade. Despite anti-poaching efforts, the animals remain at greater risk of extinction than ever before…

“There are only about 415,000 elephants left across the continent of Africa. Just under 100 years ago there were more than 10 million.

“About 600 elephants roam Addo. We must do everything in our power to protect and preserve these remaining few by providing them with their most fundamental and urgent needs. Please, donate right now to get life-sustaining water pumped and flowing for desperately thirsty elephants.”

THE 2022 CRICKET T20 WORLD CUP

England are of course to be congratulated upon winning this year’s Cricket T20 World Cup, and our only real criticism is that they had to include three foreign players (“sporting mercenaries”) in the final in order to do this,

But England were not undefeated throughout the competition. They were beaten by Ireland in the pool stage. Shortly after the England Soccer team won the Soccer World Cup in 1966 they were defeated by Scotland, and mischievous Scottish fans then maintained that they should therefore be considered world champions! We wonder now therefore whether Ireland have a justifiable claim that they are really the T20 world champions!

Ireland of course were not the only European team to excel in the 2022 T20 World Cup. The Netherlands not only qualified for the Super 12 stage but also beat both Zimbongoland and the “new” South Africa therein – thus meaning that they will be automatic qualifiers for the final eight in the next World Cup. Furthermore, although they didn’t qualify for the Super 12 stage, Scotland managed to beat the once all-powerful West Indies in the qualifying stage!

With Namibia (SWA) failing to qualify, Zimbongoland finishing bottom of their Super 12 pool, the “new” South Africa (touted by some as possible tournament winners) failing dismally, and Kenya, who (as “East Africa”) participated in the first ever Cricket World Cup consisting of only eight teams in 1975, now being nowhere to be seen in the world cricket structure, it seems obvious that the game on the African continent is now a spent force – as it is also in most sports, and indeed in life in general following de-colonisation.

But with Cricket in Africa and the West Indies now apparently in terminal decline, in Asia, AND IN EUROPE, the game is clearly on the ascendency (in the two great Australasian nations standards are so high that it seems difficult for them to get any better!). Whereas the strongest Asian nations seem to be cultivating the game elsewhere on their continent, England alas do not seem to be doing the same in Europe. This surely is a great mistake, for it should never be forgotten that the game originated in what is today Belgium, and it was one of he most popular sports in France prior to the French Revolution.

BRUTAL MURDER IN THE “NEW “SOUTH AFRICA PRACTICALLY UNREPORTED

A supporter has recently sent us a YouTube video about a British couple who were brutally murdered in the “new” South Africa, before their bodies were thrown .to crocodiles. Sickeningly and significantly this news story doesn’t seem to have received any publicity in the outside world, apart from this YouTube report. Once again it illustrates the extreme danger posed to all overseas tourists visiting the “new” South Africa. The YouTube video in question can be accessed at:-

GLASTONBURY EXPOSED CAMPAIGN

We have recently received the following most devastating report from the British Freedom Party exposing the disturbing nature of the annual Glastonbury Music Festival. Nobody wants to deny music fans of their harmless enjoyment, but is seems as if this particular music festival has been taken over by some very sinister forces. The BFP report reads as follows :-

“The Glastonbury Festival took place last week and there is only one word to describe it... DEMONIC.

“Some of the 'celebrities' who performed at this degenerate event used their on-stage exposure to incite hatred, promote abortion and simulate sex acts...

“All of which was broadcast by the BBC - a publicly funded channel!

“The actions, statements and lyrics of many of the performers were obscene and grossly offensive. This IS NOT appropriate for public broadcast.

“Despite over 200,000 people attending, what you WON'T hear from the BBC or other mainstream media are the heinous crimes committed at this event EVERY YEAR.

“From drug taking, to countless rapes and even murders, the Fake News Media REFUSE to expose this event for what it really is ... Dangerous and Evil.

“We have launched an URGENT CAMPAIGN against those involved in this Satanic event, from the organisers, to the performers to those who broadcast it.

“It is time people knew the TRUTH about this event that the mainstream media have become cheerleaders for!

“Over the coming days and weeks, we are going to EXPOSE some extremely DARK and SHOCKING facts about Glastonbury.

“We must protect young people from this EVIL!”

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOUTH AFRICANS IN AUSTRALIA

Our very good friend Bob Vinnicombe from Sydney, Australia, has recently written to tell us about a large number of employment opportunities which exist for South Africans in Australia. He writes as follows :-

“For White South Africans who want to get into Australia there is a great shortage of aged care workers, nurses and teachers at the moment. If they have these skills they could try to use them to get into Australia under the skilled migration or visa scheme.”

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.288: Mr. MARTYN HUDSON of Bedford

Martyn Hudson served in the Rhodesian Light Infantry, and after relocating to the UK became a leading member of the RLI Association, being particularly involved with the RLI Museum in Bedford, the town where he lived. The Springbok Club staged a visit to the RLI Museum in 2010, where personal contact was made with Martyn Hudson. He proved a most welcoming and enthusiastic activist, but alas a recent invitation to a Springbok Club event which was sent to his last known address in Bedford was returned as he was evidently no longer resident at this address. If anyone can help us relocate him we would of course be most grateful.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

IN LIZ I DO NOT TRUSS

Sir,

When I voted for Liz Truss I didn’t know she would choose Kwanteng as her Chancellor!

Yours etc.,

Boris Catt, Bromley, London, U.K.

----------------------------

THE BLEEDING OBVIOUS

Sir,

It astounds me that people express surprise at how much prices are going up in general at the moment. They don’t seem to understand that if you lock down vast swathes of your economy for a large part of two years, pay people for doing nothing with £230 billion of printed money, produce very little and have people chasing scarce goods with printed money, that you will inevitable produce inflation! Again, just because you’re called the Conservative party it does not mean that you can defy the basic laws of economics!

Yours etc.,

M.Potter, Norfolk, U.K.

----------------------------

BLAME GAME

Sir,

Thank you for your recent email which included an article received from a supporter. My understanding is that the intention of this correspondence is to justify the Russian attack upon Ukraine. Is this correct?

If it is then I have to express my disappointment. Putin is a bloodthirsty dictator who after deceiving the Russian public that he is a leader who can be trusted after massive voter fraud is now intent upon destroying Ukraine. His criminal conduct constitutes a war crime.

In any event what is relevance of the illegal invasion of Ukraine to the aims and objectives of The Patriotic Forum?

Yours etc.,

B.Shacklock, Nottinghamshire, U.K.

[ The Patriotic Forum does not take sides in the current conflict in the Ukraine because, as this correspondent correctly states, it is not relevant to the aims and objectives of the organisation. The Patriotic Forum is however keen to hear both sides of the story regarding this unfortunate conflict – unlike is apparently the case with the mainstream media – and our main hope is that this tragic conflict which sees White men and women killing White men and women whilst the non-White world sits backs and laughs should reach a fair conclusion as soon as possible. Ed.]

----------------------------

ALL TALK BUT NO ACTION

Sir,

I am very disappointed now to have learnt that the staunch conservative and right wing Afrikaner effort since 1983 to date, via the "secret plan" of the Konserwatiewe Party (KP), the Afrikaner Accord of 23 April 1994, the Volkstaatraad and its 7 reports of execution of a Volkstaat, the undeveloped self-determination for minorities Article 235 in the 1996 SA Constitution, the submissions of OASE (Onafhanklike Afrikaner Selfbeskikkings Ekspedisie), the efforts of the KAF (Konfederale Afrikaner Raad), TAR (Tussentydse Afrikaner Raad), VVK (Volksraad Verkiessings Kommissie), ASK (Afrikaner Strategie Komitee where I served from 2016 to 2020) and BAV (Boere Afrikaner Volksraad) had all been suppressed, - seemingly by the VF+ who lord's it over the Afrikaner people while those VF+ Member's of Parliament get exorbitant salaries on corrupt South African government lending debt!

Orania and Kleinfontein are great concepts for an elite few, but do not at all comply with international law process for ex-European ethnic self-determination.

My view is that the Afrikaner has had good experience in helping to develop South Africa between April 1652 and April 1994, and should make use of self-determination opportunities as well as economic, defence and diplomatic relations with Western Christian civilization. Sadly treason within and agendas without keep the Afrikaner - and hence South Africa - prisoner of serious exponential decay.

But by today, 28 years down the line, South Africa is in shameful and ungovernable state!

Sir, thank you for your time, for your patriotism and for your interest. Thank you for your efforts.

Yours etc.,

J. Meintjes, Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa

SPELLING LESSON

Sir,

This article in Fox News was so pathetic that I thought I'd toss it your way. It seems that the Biden White House (run by 'minorities' in American terms) cannot even properly spell the names of our states anymore, and apparently the V.P. did not notice, and we know the President is so senile that he'd never notice. Well, with an average I.Q. in remote Africa only in the 60's or low 70's, and a President who uses elementary school cards to navigate on stage (only to forget where the exit is after throwing a temper tantrum), well, I don't mean to put anyone down, but I'm hardly surprised.

Pathetic.

REMEMBERING ABLE SEACAT SIMON

At last month’s Patriotic Forum meeting the subject of the “Yangtze Incident” of 1949 came up, and one member reminded everyone that during this incident the ship’s cat from HMS Amethyst, Simon (aka “Able Seacat Simon”), became the first cat ever to be awarded the Dickin Medal – the animal’s VC.

The uplifting tale of Simon’s bravery and heroism can be found on Wikipedia at :-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(cat)

Simon’s story demonstrates the importance of the symbiosis between humans and dumb animals. We salute not only Simon’s memory, but also the crew members of HMS Amethyst whose morale he boosted, and who in return loved and cared for him.

October 2022 Edition.

SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

October 2022 edition

We have known of no other issue which has divided patriotic opinion so radically and so fundamentally throughout the UK and the British Commonwealth than the current military conflict in the Ukraine. We have supporters who take a firm pro-Ukrainian line, whereas others are equally strident in their pro-Moscow stance. We respect both sets of sincerely held views.

Our own standpoint is far more nuanced however. Being staunch Unionists in the UK context, and also supporting the unity of the other great European nations, we naturally find ourselves sympathetic towards the aspirations of the Russian people for the re-unification of “All the Russias”, as was the case during Tsarist years. Having said this, however, we can not support the violent strong-arm methods currently being employed by the Moscow government to achieve this aspiration! Far, far better we believe for them to have embarked upon a “charm offensive” in order to encourage the Ukrainian people to elect a government similar to that of Viktor Yanukovych which existed in the Ukraine prior to 2014, which adopted friendly relations with Moscow in a similar manner to the relationship of Belarus. It is not just a case that military force against civilians is morally wrong, but also that it has so antagonised the Ukrainian people that it has become totally counter-productive towards their basic aim!

The position of the current British Government regarding the conflict in the Ukraine is particularly disappointing. Surely post-Brexit Russia is Britain’s most natural ally on the European continent? Surely therefore it has been a great mistake by the successive Johnson and Truss governments to pursue such a fiercely anti-Russian policy, when a sympathetic stance – or even a firmly neutral stance – would have enabled Britain to act as an “honest broker” and thereby to assist in bringing the fighting to a halt. As it is Britain simply seems to be acting as a lackey of both the EU and the Biden Administration in the United States, neither of which are particular friends of Britain!

At the moment all that we see in the Ukraine is White men and women killing White men and women, whilst the non-White world – particularly expansionist Islam and the threatening Chinese - look on and laugh. Furthermore, the anti-Russian fanaticism of both the EU and the Biden Administration has only pushed Russia firmly into the Chinese orbit. The only conceivable peace proposal which seems to have emerged has come from Elon Musk, the South African-born internationally renowned entrepreneur and visionary. Although his Peace Plan undoubtedly needs to be “tweaked” slightly, we can only congratulate Elon Musk greatly on his efforts in this regard, and to wish him every success.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

The Springbok Club again fulfilled their promise to Peter Sladden by maintaining the traditional ”Raising of the Flag” ceremony last month. This ceremony was held annually at Cecil Square, Salisbury, Rhodesia from 1891 until 1979, and at Peter Sladden’s estate at Southrepps in Norfolk from 1981 until 2017. This year the ceremony was held at Swanage in Dorset, which had been the home to Cmd.E.C.”Teddy” Tyndale-Biscoe (who of course first raised the Union Flag at the site which became Salisbury, Rhodesia, on 13th September 1890) from 1936 until his death in 1941. The ceremony was actually held outside the house where he lived in Bon Accord Road, Swanage, with Sgt. Graham Gillmore (ex-RLI) acting as parade commander. After the Union Flag and the Rhodesian Flag were raised by Mr. Alan Williamon and Mrs.Susan Gordon key-note speeches were given by Mr. Stuart Agnew (former UKIP MEP for the East of England) and Mr. Gavin Sandeman (of the Sandeman Port importing family), which was followed by rousing renditions of both the British and Rhodesian National Anthems led by Mr.Alex Knox-Wylie. Toasts were then raised to the memories of Cmd.E.C.”Teddy” Tyndale-Biscoe and Mr.Peter Sladden and to The King with Sandeman Port (both Cmd.E.C.”Teddy” Tyndale-Biscoe’s mother and his first wife were members of the Sandeman Port importing family), before participants adjourned to The Black Swan (which is believed to have been Cmd.E.C.”Teddy” Tyndale-Biscoe’s “local”) where Mr.Gary Vincent gave a captivating PowerPoint presentation about his life and career, before everyone present enjoyed a sumptuous evening meal.

Venue : The SUTTON ARMS (the upstairs function room), 6 Carthusian Street, Barbican, London EC1M 6EB. (Nearest tube station: Barbican. Turn left out of the station, and Carthusian Street is then the first turning on the left, with the Sutton Arms diagonally opposite.)

Guest Speaker : Mr. Peter Lindsay - who will be speaking on the theme of “The World Crisis”

Peter Lindsay was born in London in 1950 to “Labour” parents who had become more and more disillusioned with the Labour Party’s leftward drift, and eventually became strong Thatcherites. They were always strong patriots, as he has always been. He grew up on a council estate in Essex and was fortunate to benefit from the tripartite education system of the post-WW2 years and went to a Grammar School. He qualified as a chartered accountant in 1974, and later became a tax specialist. He has always lived in the South-East.

Peter Lindsay has always been interested in politics and history, and this led him to become inquisitive and concerned about the grotesque direction the UK took in the post-WW2 years. He became a member and activist of UKIP shortly after it was formed, and ran a branch in Surrey where he currently lives. He was “over the moon” when the result of the 2016 Referendum made all the years of effort worthwhile, but he regards getting out of the EU as only “Job No.1” in the long task of British renewal after decades of betrayal and decline. He currently runs a highly acclaimed e-mail circulation service as part of his campaign to assist with Britain’s renewal, and to alert people to what he believes has been the biggest single evil ever to infect the world, Marxism,

MESSAGE FROM THE ANIMAL SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION

We have recently received the following very important report from the Animal Survival International organisation about the situation concerning giraffes in the “new” South Africa. It reads as follows:-

“On a small piece of land in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, three adult giraffes (one who lost her calf) live in a totally unsuitable and unsustainable desperate situation. They are riddled with ticks and facing the prospect of starving to death.

“The giraffes need to be moved to a more suitable area - and FAST!

“The trio have devoured most of the vegetation, and because of a prolonged drought re-growth is critically slow, making their living conditions increasingly dire. Another problem is that blood-sucking ticks have plagued the land, leeching the life from these already-weakened giraffes and causing wounds and disease. Already two newborn giraffes have died because of these conditions. The second was just one day old when he breathed his last. His mother is still so traumatized that she constantly returns to the site of his death.

“Usually in situations like this, people simply shoot the giraffes because it is a cheap ‘solution’ to the problem, but we must not let this happen. We need your help to move them to safety.

“There is no other option - we must move them fast, or the giraffes will most certainly die either from starvation or tick-borne disease.

“No one knows how the animals came to be in such an unsuitable place, but it is suspected that criminality was involved. The land was bought by a good-hearted young couple who has been giving the giraffes supplementary food, but the reality is that these towering creatures do not belong there. After exhausting all options, they reached out to us for help. As animal lovers, we acted immediately and found a solution. Giraffes are the world’s tallest land mammals and can grow to 17 feet so a tower of giraffes needs a lot of space to be comfortable and with your help, we will relocate the giraffes to a bigger area.

“The nearby Royalston Wildlife Reserve is perfect for giraffes and they will thrive there. So that’s where we plan to move them. The relocation is a tricky operation requiring expert skills to reduce stress on the giraffes and must be carefully planned. It will not be easy, but with your help we can do it.

“We have successfully relocated giraffes before - in 2021, with your help, we relocated three giraffes in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa, who faced slaughter because their home was going to be used for commercial farming.

“If we can raise US$15,000 (£12,200), we will construct an enclosure, entice the giraffes into it with food, humanely capture them, and transport them to their new home. This thousand-hectare, free-roaming sanctuary is just 5 miles from where the giraffes are now. There, they will receive immediate medical care, will have better access to food and, above all, more land to roam freely.

“With your support, the three giraffes will live and thrive among their own in open grasslands stretching over rolling hills.

“Our worry for the individual animals is a prime concern, but saving these giraffes is even more critical. Giraffe numbers have dropped by 40% in the last 30 years and are becoming increasingly threatened. There are now only some 117,000 giraffes in the wild.

“The surviving herds are fragmented and face many threats, from poaching to habitat loss, the latter of which is one of the gravest threats to their continued existence. Giraffes used to range through much of the African savanna, but they now live in a handful of communities scattered in clumps across the continent. In some countries, like Mali, giraffes have disappeared completely.

“What we have here is a tragedy, but we cannot turn a blind eye when giraffe calves drop dead before they have even had a chance to live. There is a solution and with your help, we will be able to give these giraffes a chance at a long, happy and safe life.

“The giraffes are only 10 MINUTES away from a potential haven that can meet all three of their most urgent needs - food, space and medical treatment. Will you help us make this happen and allow them to roam free and live as giraffes are intended to live? Please, donate as generously as you possibly can today so that we can put our emergency giraffe relocation project into action.“

CALL FOR MIXED CRICKET MATCHES

Over recent years sexually mixed relays have been introduced at the highest levels in Athletics, Swimming and Cycling tournaments. Lawn Tennis has of course for long included mixed doubles competitions, and Korfball has always been mixed by its very rules. Team sports seem to have been immune from this most welcome evolution however. When it comes to contact sports such as the various codes of Football this is probably understandable – but why not in Cricket?

Women’s Cricket has been around ever since the days of W.G.Grace’s mother of course, but it has only been in recent years that this branch of the game has enjoyed widespread popularity, so that many now consider it as exciting and as technically excellent as the men’s game – if not more so! Unfortunately this enthusiasm for the game has been accompanied by another most unpleasant development, namely the rise of the scourge of lesbianism within some of the top national teams. Leading players from England, Australia, New Zealand and the “new” South Africa have openly announced that they have entered into unnatural relationships with other female players, in some cases even going through a parody of a “marriage” ceremony. Unsurprisingly this has engendered great unease and indeed disgust among the game’s mainstream supporters, though it has been pleasing to note that one particular player has apparently rejected this unnatural lifestyle and is citing “mental health problems” for her disappearance from the game.

If a series of cricket competitions involving both sexes – with say a minimum of five players of each sex per team – could be introduced as in the other sports cited above, then not only would it spark great extra interest among supporters, but by bringing female players into closer contact with their male colleagues would make the machinations of predatory lesbians vastly more difficult!

LATEST FALKLANDS NEWS

We have recently received the following encouraging message from the Falklands Island Association. It reads as follows :-

“You may remember I wrote in November 2021 on behalf of the British Modern Military History Society, who were compiling a new volume of their 'Glimpses of War' series, specifically about the Falklands War, and wanted to hear from members who had a story to tell. The response from you all was amazing and I am pleased to say that many of our members' stories made it into the book.

“The book is now on sale from Amazon and all profits will be donated to Blind Veterans UK, More details can be found at: https://www.bmmhs.org/glimpses-of-war/

“Thank you to all of our members who responded, and I hope you find your stories in the book.”

------------------------------------------------------------------

LITTLE REPORTED NEWS ITEM FROM THE TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS

In a little reported development concerning the British Overseas Territory of The Turks and Caicos Islands, where there have evidently been 15 fatal gang-warfare shootings since the start of September, the UK Government has announced that it is sending a specialised Police unit to the colony in order to help restore law and order.

Such a move is of course to be welcomed, but it does demonstrate how the British Government has been neglecting its colonial responsibilities to the islands. Surely resources from Britain’s “Overseas Aid Budget” should be restricted to helping Britain’s remaining Overseas Territories, rather than handed out to third world potentates and tyrants who hold no love for Britain. Not only would such investment help eliminate all the gang warfare and lawlessness in this neglected colony, but it could also be used to build up infrastructure on the islands so that they could become a paradise for British holidaymakers.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.287: Mr. NORMAN LANCASHIRE.of Durban

Norman Lancashire was an early subscriber to South African Patriot and also attended a few Patriotic Forum meetings when the original organisation of that name was based in Durban during the 1980s. It is believed that he lived in the Berea area of the city, but very little else is known about him, apart from the fact that he was very proud of his British ancestry. Unfortunately his copy of the latest issue of The Imperial Patriot has been returned to us as he evidently is no longer the box-holder of the P.O.Box which was the last address which we have for him. As he was quite an elderly man during the 1980s we therefore fear for the worse, but we would even so be very interested to learn what became of him.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BLACK BROADCASTING CORPORATION

Sir,

I’ve come to the conclusion that the BBC is a racist organisation.

They disseminate, without context, without explanation, anti-White propaganda. White privilege, White fragility, White this, White that ……

None of this is supported by the facts. Quite the reverse.

White boys especially are at the bottom of the earnings and education chin. They are most likely to be drug addicted and to kill themselves.

Douglas Murray and Frank Furedi say similar.

Yours etc.,

Roger Alsop, Islington, London, U.K.

----------------------------

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Sir,

A few months ago you published a letter from me about an old schoolmate, Andy Cowie. I’m afraid I have some very sad news for you. Andy died at the start of 2020. I don’t know what the cause of his death was. Alas he never achieved the full brilliant potential of his schoolboy days. Even more sadly I learnt that he never married, and evidently had no known children. This was very surprising as he never seemed short of a girlfriend when I knew him – they mainly being friends of his three sisters. His seemed to be a very close and friendly family, but by all accounts there was severe family conflict and disruptions when one of his sisters – “Plain Jane” Janet – married an Asian (described to me as “a smelly Indian”). She is also now apparently dead, having died in her early 50s in mysterious circumstances.

Yours etc.,

“Old Anchorian”, Gillingham, Kent, U.K.

WISE COUNSEL

Sir,

Thank you for sending the email which includes commentary on the situation in Ukraine.

Having lived in Kyiv I feel compelled to write to reject the inference that Russia has any legitimate claim to invade and occupy a neighbouring country. People whom we now in Kherson are now ashamed of the brutal attrition and war crimes which still continue as Russian forces destroy their homes for no good reason. Any claim made by Putin and his cronies that the war is justified to save lives of Ukrainians who have a Russian heritage is total nonsense.

Many people whom we know in Moscow are opposed to the illegal war. One family has recently moved to Georgia to get away from the tyranny of Putin’s thugs in the police.

Although I support the patriotic aims of your organisation please do not become a channel for vile Russian propaganda in the way that Lord HawHaw did in WW2.

Yours etc.,

Hugh Counsell, London N2, U.K.

[ We have in the past tried to present both stances regarding the current regrettable conflict in the Ukraine. This however does not mean that we support either sets of arguments which we’ve re-circulated. Our own more nuanced position is fully detailed in this month’s editorial above. - Ed.]

A RAT SNIFFS AROUND AGAIN

We have recently heard the disturbing news that the notorious traitor Arthur “White kaffir” Kemp has been sniffing around in patriotic circles in the UK once again. After all the well-documented problems which this obnoxious trouble-maker has caused in both South Africa and the UK all we can say is that if any White patriot is still prepared to give him credibility then they must have very short memories!

We have carried several exposés of Kemp’s duplicitous nature in past editions of the SCN, but we have recently been informed of a most revealing web-site about him entitled “Arthur Kemp, the swarthy Nordic mongrel” which can b accessed at: henryikson.blogspot.com/2012/06/who-is-arthur-kemp-of-you-might-know.html

In a nutshell, Kemp, a doctrinaire atheist, was born in Rhodesia, his mother being Dutch and his father being born at Beira, Mozambique of German origin, but who Anglocized his surname to “Kemp” during WW2. Kemp attended UCT to study commerce, but never graduated, and it was subsequently revealed by his first wife that all his University fees were paid by the South African authorities, thus confirming that he was in the pay of the authorities from a very early age.

Whilst at UCT he stood for the SRC as a “Monster Raving Loony Party”-type candidate, and got elected – the only non-NUSAS candidate to do so in his year. Shortly after this he helped found the “Moderate Students Movement” at UCT, which was an affiliate of he “National Students Federation”, an NP-front set-up in opposition to NUSAS. In spite of his apparent NP-orientation he gravitated to the mainstream Right of South African politics, joining the infant Conservative Party of South Africa and subscribing to S.A.Patriot, writing for the magazine under the pseudonym of Adrian Kotze. After leaving UCT he did his national service in the SAP, wherein he was still mysteriously allowed to be politically active with the mainstream Right. Upon finishing his national service he first worked as a journalist on The Citizen newspaper, before joining the full-time staff of the Conservative Party of South Africa. After a couple years working for the CP his employment was terminated however, and it was subsequently revealed that this was because the CP leadership strongly suspected that he was spying on them for the NP government.

Real doubts about Kemp’s authenticity came a couple of years later however, when he published a book about the pantomime AWB outfit. Although littered with factual errors, this book obtained ominous widescale publicity, and as a result the previously obscure AWB outfit was used to demonise the “Vote No” campaign at the 1992 Constitutional Referendum. At the trial of the great South African patriot Clive Derby-Lewis for the assassination of the terrorist Chris Hani Kemp turned State’s Witness, and admitted supplying Clive with Hani’s address. After this act of treason by Kemp nobody in mainstream Rightwing circles in South Africa would of course touch him, and it soon became apparent that the CP leadership had been correct in their suspicions, and that he was definitely in the pay of the South African security services. Whereas most other agents of the security services from NP days took early retirement when offered upon the sell-out to the ANC regime, Kemp was however willing to “take the ANC’s shilling”. He thereafter renounced his support for the mainstream Right and instead started identifying himself with the “off the edge” far-Right, apparently on the instructions of the ANC. His brief was evidently to infiltrate resistance movements to the ANC and to spy on them and/or to discredit them by association.

As no-one in South Africa would touch Kemp with a bargepole because his cover had been blown, he was thus no longer of any use to the ANC internally, so they therefore moved him overseas in order for him to spy on and discredit South African resistance movements in exile. His main focus of interest in this regard was the Springbok Club and the re-launched S.A.Patriot-in-Exile. Those behind both these resistance vehicles knew all about Kemp’s phoniness however, and he achieved no success – but then he turned really nasty! Knowing that this present writer was closely involved with both bodies, and knowing that I knew all about his notorious South African past, he tried to smear me with a series of vile fabricated pornographic pictures which he claimed to be of me. In reality he had managed to “hack” into my computer and had obtained some authentic head-and-shoulder pictures of me and my address book, and then, with help of a naïve “off the edge” far-Right colleague, the late Anthony “Tony” Hancock (a “Photoshop” expert and a notorious Holocaust Denier, who was once arrested for indecent exposure!), had fabricated this smear by juxtaposing these enhanced pictures alongside some obscene pictures of a “headless” naked male in various pornographic poses. To be responsible for concocting such a disgusting fake smear campaign shows that not only is Kemp a traitor, but also that he possesses a sick, sick mind!

Thereafter the ANC seemed to realise that Kemp was of no further use to them, so he was apparently simply handed over to the British security services who used him to infiltrate the far-Right “British National Party”. On the basis of his universally panned book about the AWB outfit and another book equally littered with factual errors which he claimed to be “The History of the White Race”, Kemp quickly ingratiated himself with the naïve BNP leadership, and in no time whatsoever he was appointed their “Foreign Affairs Spokesman”. The grassroots membership of the BNP proved not to be so naïve as their leadership however, and he was soon nicknamed “The Spook” and levered out of the Party. Thereafter Kemp seemed to disappear entirely from the political scene, though it is known that for the past decade he has been jetting around between the UK, the United States and the “new” South Africa. Who is now paying for all his travel costs, and for his upkeep in general for that matter, remains a complete mystery however!

Kemp’s personal life has proved equally as chaotic and pathetic as his political life. He has been married twice, firstly to a charming South African woman he met during his youth and secondly to an American woman who he met through far-Right activities. Both marriages ended in divorce however, although he has pathetically tried to win back the affections of both women, totally without success. He had two children from his first marriage, a boy and a girl. His son now holds him in total contempt – indeed hatred – referring to him openly as “an asshole”, whereas his daughter simply uses him to get as many perks as possible from him!

In view of all this well-documented history of Kemp’s total failure in life it is dumbfounding to learn that somebody still apparently takes him seriously. We trust therefore that they will soon familiarise themselves with the totally phony and obnoxious nature of this rat, and will drop all contact with the “asshole” as a result. We would however be very keen to discover precisely what the “White kaffir” has been up to for the past decade or so.

September 2022 Edition.

SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

September 2022 edition

The past two weeks have witnessed one of the most dramatic periods in British – indeed in world – history. First of all the election of Liz Truss as leader of the British Conservative Party, and thereby Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and then the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the longest serving monarch in British history. The end of an era indeed.

Liz Truss’s predecessor, Boris Johnson, ascended to the post with high hopes and much good-will from a wide section of the patriotic British people, but alas these high expectations were dashed immediately that he announced his first cabinet, which was not so much a British cabinet as a United Nations one! As a result his popularity soon plummeted, as was confirmed by the Conservative Party’s defeat at several by-elections in constituencies which had been rock-solid Tory strongholds for decades. Liz Truss therefore had much going for her after being elected Conservative leader if she was to return the party to its patriotic roots. In spite of the fact that she was only elected by the Conservative Party membership because “she was not Rishi Sunak” she immediately made the same mistake as Johnson by appointing foreigners – and non-White foreigners at that – to the highest positions in her cabinet. Such an insult to the British people will not be forgiven of course, and so her chances of winning the next General Election now seem to be zero.

Although the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth II of England, Northern Ireland and Wales) was both inevitable and expected, it still came as a great shock to the world. The practically universal outpouring of grief was not only far higher than many expected, but also – most sad though the occasion actually was – a manifestation which endears great national pride. Queen Elizabeth was undoubtedly a good, sincere and dedicated woman. Of that there can be no doubt. But to term her “Elizabeth the Great” so soon after her death, as Boris Johnson has insisted upon doing, is surely a clear case of hyperbole. Let history decide. The fact remains, however, that although when Queen Elizabeth’s illustrious ancestor, Queen Victoria, died her country possessed the greatest Empire which the world had ever known, when Queen Elizabeth died that Empire had shrunk to only 15 realms where she was Head of State and 14 colonial possessions. Now however is not the time to discuss whether she herself could have done anything to prevent this humiliating national decline.

We must now however look to the new monarch of the United Kingdom and his other realms and territories, King Charles III. There are some who view his succession with trepidation, but we ask them to consider two important facts. Firstly his current wife is a woman with impeccable credentials who will undoubtedly influence him greatly for the good – quite unlike would have been the case if he was still married to his former deeply flawed wife. Secondly we ask everyone to remember King Edward VII. When he was still Prince of Wales he was also predicted to be a disaster as King, but after he ascended to the throne he proved to be a magnificent monarch who helped to increase the power and glory of the British Empire. We believe – and certainly hope – that King Charles III will likewise defy his doomsaying critics.

There are however three requests that we would make to the new King and his Royal Household :-

1) Although the title “Queen Consort” is constitutionally correct, it was never used colloquially in the past. The Queens Consort of Kings Edward VII, George V and George VI were always referred to colloquially as Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. Likewise the current Queen Consort should from henceforth be referred to as Queen Camilla. 2) The decision to prevent HRH The Duke of York from being allowed to wear naval uniform in events associated with the late Queen’s funeral and the succession should immediately be rescinded. There is a tenet in British Law that everyone is assumed innocent until proven guilty. HRH The Duke of York has never been found guilty of any offence, in spite of serious accusations being leveled against him by a gold-digging American sex-worker. He was advised to pay extortion money to her by unknown figures within the Royal Household in order to prevent acute embarrassment to other members of the Royal Family, rather than defending himself to establish his innocence. This decision we believe was a great mistake, and shouldn’t be used to imply that he admitted guilt. 3) At the time that Prince Edward was created Earl of Wessex it was stated that the then Duke of Edinburgh wished his title to continue for posterity, and that after his death and that of his wife, Her Majesty the Queen, the Earl of Wessex should inherit it. Both the former Duke of Edinburgh and Her Majesty are now dead, yet there has still been no announcement that the Earl of Wessex has inherited his late father’s title. This we believe should now be done.

Be these matters as they may, we mourn the passing of the late Queen and cherish her memory, and pledge fealty to the new King and Queen and the new Prince and Princess of Wales

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

The Springbok Club staged a most enjoyable and enlightening trip to the Dr. Johnson House Museum in central London last month. This proved a very successful event, and enabled those present to learn a lot more about the great 18th century essayist and lexicographer’s life and achievements. Both prior to and after this visit members of the Springbok Club party patronised the near-by historic Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub, where in a convivial atmosphere ideas and plans for future Springbok Club activities were discussed.

----------------------------

This year’s “Raising of the Flag” ceremony will be held on Saturday 1st October at Swanage in Dorset. This venue has been chosen because Swanage was the town where Cmd. Edward Carey. “Teddy” Tyndale-Biscoe RN – who of course was the person who first raised the Union Flag at the site which subsequently became Salisbury, Rhodesia, on 13th September 1890 – lived from 1936 until his death in 1941. Assemble at “The Anchor Inn”, 30-32 High Street, Swanage, Dorset, BH19 2NU from 12.00 noon until approximately 14.30 hrs on Saturday 1st October, before attendees will proceed to a site close to Cmd.Tyndale-Biscoe’s former house at “Braemar”, 8 Bon Accord Road, Swanage. The actual ceremony will then take place, starting at 15.00 hrs, and will consist of the symbolic raising of the Union Flag, short key-note speeches by two prominent personalities, and the singing of both the British and the Rhodesian National Anthems. After the ceremony the party will adjourn to the near-by “Black Swan” pub (which is believed to have been Cmd.Tyndale-Biscoe’s “local”) where a PowerPoint presentation about his life and career (as well as that of another great naval hero from the area, CPO Ernest Pitcher VC) will be given, starting at 17.00 hrs and lasting until approximately 19.00 hrs, after which an evening meal will be available. The day’s events will also include a toast being raised to the memory of Cmd.Tyndale-Biscoe with Sandeman’s port – a drink which has been chosen because both his mother and his first wife were members of the famous Sandeman port importing family!

As several supporters have expressed an interest in staying at Swanage for a few days, a good B&B accommodation establishment has been found, so if you would also like to stay overnight please let us know. For more information, or if you have difficulties finding the venues on the day, please ‘phone: 07711188430.

----------------------------

The Springbok Club is planning an important buffet-meeting in central London during mid-November in order to commemorate UDI Day, whereat the guest speaker will be a prominent expatriate Rhodesian. Further details will be given in future editions of the SCN.

------------------------------------------------------------------

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS

In view of the mourning period for Her Majesty the Queen the Patriotic Forum’s meeting to be addressed by Mr. Peter Lindsay has been postponed from September until October. Peter Lindsay has been a patriotic activist all of his adult life, having worked actively for the “No” campaign during the 1975 Referendum regarding whether Britain should be a member of the then “European Common Market” or not, and subsequently becoming a keen and dedicated member of UKIP. More recently he has established his own e-mail circulation list on which he comments upon a range of current political issues. The subject of his talk will be “The World Crisis”. Full details about this meeting will be included in next month’s SCN, and will also be circulated directly to all Patriotic Forum members and supporters once finalised.

----------------------------

The Patriotic Forum’s 2022 AGM will now be held in November, after which the organisation will be addressed by another prominent political observer and commentator.

MESSAGE FROM THE ANIMAL SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION

We have recently received the following extremely concerning report from the Animal Survival International organisation about the plight of Vaquita Porpoises. It reads as follows:-

“The vaquita is the most endangered marine mammal in the world. Right now, there are only about 10 of these small porpoises left in the entire world - we are perilously close to losing them forever.

”Vaquitas live only in the Sea of Cortez in Mexico where imminent extinction beckons because they become entangled in illegal fishing nets and die. It’s that stark and that simple and without our help, another unique creature will be lost because of mankind destroying the oceans.

“Vaquitas could be extinct within the next few years. These rare creatures are in grave danger of disappearing within our lifetime

“Vaquitas have striking dark-ringed facial features that are often compared to a smiling panda. They are shy and reclusive - steering clear of boats when approached. Unfortunately, they can’t always propel themselves away from potential threats fast enough. Over the last decade, the vaquita population has plunged from 576 to less than 10 individuals. Human greed and selfishness is the cause.

“Vaquitas are routinely caught by fishermen using gillnets, long walls of netting that hang in the water trapping fish. Gillnets are illegal, but commonly used by poachers seeking totoabas - an endangered species of fish that shares the vaquita’s habitat. Once vaquitas become entangled in the nets they are unable to surface for air and drown within minutes. Those who do manage to escape often suffer severe injuries and do not survive the trauma.

“In an attempt to protect vaquitas, the Mexican government banned gillnet fishing in 2016. But enforcement efforts are feeble, and vaquitas continue to be obliterated. Not all hope is lost - the impending extinction of vaquitas CAN be prevented. But if these animals are to have any chance at survival, it is critical that the authorities step up enforcement measures to terminate illegal fishing operations FOR GOOD.

“Animal Survival International will work alongside Earth League International (ELI), an innovative, hands-on NGO that fights wildlife crime through undercover operations. At considerable risk to themselves, they penetrate planned poaching operations before they start fishing. Law enforcement officials and local government officials are presented with such strong evidence that they have no choice but to act. This they can easily do because their job has been done for them. It's an approach that works and one that with your help, will make their species stronger.“

CONGRATULATIONS BIRMINGHAM!

This year’s Commonwealth Games, which were centred in Birmingham, proved a most well-organised and spectacular success. Birmingham of course may have seemed like an unlikely venue for such a massive global event, but the organising committee and the city elders not only staged a faultless show but also proved that there were places in England outside London which had character of their own and were worthy of recognition

It should not be forgotten, however, that Birmingham was not the original choice to host the 2022 Games. That accolade was originally due to go to Durban in the “new” South Africa – but it didn’t take the Commonwealth Games Federation’s Executive Board long to realise that today’s Durban was a totally unsuitable place to hold such a global multi-sports spectacular. Durban of course was a beautiful and well-administered city during the days of civilised rule in South Africa and would then have been an ideal city to host events such as the Commonwealth Games, but today alas it is just another third world cess-pit where all infrastructure has collapsed and rampant crime and rioting is the order of the day. Hopefully this will be the last occasion when a foolhardy decision is made to stage a major sporting competition anywhere in the decaying “new” South Africa!

Birmingham however showed how a civilised first world country could and should stage a major global sporting tournament. It was not only the superb organisation which made it such a memorable occasion which brought joy to millions however, as there were also many outstanding achievements by the competitors themselves. These outstanding triumphs are really too numerous to mention, but we feel that we must mention Flora Duffy from Bermuda retaining her Women’s Triathlon crown and Lucy Beere and Alastair Chalmers winning Guernsey’s first medals at the Commonwealth Games since 1994!

In spite of all the successes of Birmingham 2022 there were even so some disappointments. Firstly there was the presence in the Games of a number of countries which never had any connection with Britain or the British Empire, such as Mozambique and Rwanda. This of course is a fault of the Commonwealth itself rather than the Games’ organisers, but surely it is about time to slim down the Commonwealth to that it consists of only those countries which recognize King Charles III as their Head of State and Britain’s remaining overseas territories, plus perhaps a few other countries which have strong historic and friendly relations with the United Kingdom such as Malta, Fiji and Tonga. Secondly, rather like the Olympic Games, there are too many “pseudo-sports” relying upon the opinions of judges rather than the stop-watch or the tape-measure included in the Commonwealth Games itinerary. These “sports”, particularly Rhythmic Gymnastics, should be dropped immediately, along with Judo, which is a Japanese form of Wrestling which has nothing to do with Britain or the British Empire. In their place should be added some more traditional British sports such as Snooker, Rowing and Polo – plus of course Men’s Cricket to join their female counterparts!

Hopefully all these faults will be rectified in time for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Australia – an event which we can hardly wait for!

DISTURBING REPORT FROM THE BRITISH FREEDOM PARTY

Although we have no direct connection with the British Freedom Party (BFP), we do find that we have many opinions and aims in common. It has therefore been very disturbing to receive the following message from Ms. Jayda Fransen, the Leader of the BFP :-

“I actually cannot believe this is happening.

“As you know, I have been working very hard to keep the office running whilst caring for my much loved pug, Buster, who is desperately unwell.

“On top of all that, Buster and I may now be in danger.

“In the middle of a very busy and stressful time, I found myself the subject of a vicious and completely FALSE smear campaign by individuals who alleged to be in the same cause as me.

“As a direct result of the lies they have tod, I have been instructed by the Police to place extra security on my home over serious safety concerns.

“To say that I am horrified at this is an understatement.

“I have devoted many years of my life to honest and loyal activism. I have confronted terrorists, exposed child groomers and served time in jail for this cause.

“Yet now I face the threat of serious harm, or even worse – NOT because of a jihadist or child groomers – but because of lies told by people whom I have previously stood beside.

“At a time when my main concern is getting little Buster the medical help he needs, I am now having to find the money to put extra security on my home to keep he and I safe.

“I do not have the means to pay for any of this, but I cannot risk any harm coming to myself or Buster, especially when he is so sick.

“Please, if you can, chip in towards my ‘Home Security Fund’ at: https://www.jaydafransen.online/home_security_fund

“I never expected I’d have to make my home a fortress as a result of being smeared , but I am not ignoring the police advice I have been given.

“I will NEVER bow down to thee bullies, and I will do whatever I can to keep myself and Buster safe, but I really do need your support.

“I may be a woman, but I am driven by my love for God, my country and my people.

“I will NOT be deflected by the actions of these lying bullies.

“Thank you for your loyalty.”

We have recently received the following interesting message from the Falklands Island Association. It reads as follows :-

“These links below were forwarded to us by Andrew Cave. The articles are in respect of the work completed by dockyard workers to get the task force sailing and the subsequence positioning of plaques at various dockyards. They are well worth reading and a vital contribution to winning the war that should not be forgotten. https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/news/2022/april/20/20220420-plaques-honour-efforts-on-the-rock-and-in-rosyth-behind-falklands-victory

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.286: Mrs. PAM THORNYCROFT.of Bristol

Pam Thornycroft contacted the Springbok Club several years ago, and even though she never attended any of the organisation’s meetings she always seemed to be a keen supporter. Alas several recent e-mail circulars and invitations sent to her through the post have been returned as she is evidently know longer contactable at her last known addresses. We wonder therefore whether anyone knows how she can now be contacted?

RECOMMENDED WEB-SITE OF THE MONTH

A leading supporter of our movement has recently recommended a most interesting web-site entitled “Where Did We Go”, which lists all the destinations where those who have managed to get out of the “new” South Africa re-located to in order to start a new life. It makes fascinating viewing, and provides the opportunity to list your own information. It can be accessed at :-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COOLIE-BOETIES

Sir,

If Rishi Sunak says that the experts had too much power over Covid restrictions then which members of the government agreed with these so-called experts? Some of them had hard-Left political beliefs.

Yours etc.,

Boris Catt, Bromley, Kent, U.K.

----------------------------

THE GREAT SETBACK

Sir,

The unnecessary Covid scare helped the “Great Reset” fanatics of the UN and the World Economic Forum more than the phony man-made global warming scare. But they’ll use both, they’ll use anything, as a pretext for taking total control of us all. Can our civilisation be saved?

Yours etc.,

Jillian Becker, California, U.S.A.

----------------------------

STATE THEFT

Sir,

New South African (“Azanian”) wealth tax laws are to come. This terrorist tax on wealth will slowly strip the wealthy of the middle class of South Africa to the bone financially. The private sector will crash over the next three years. The super wealthy have been leaving South Africa in swarms over the last two years with their wealth intact. If you own two or three homes and rent them because the pension you paid into during the 80s and 90s is defunct or just a joke in 2020, my advice is sell your houses, move the money out of South Africa and leave.

The ANC have run out of stolen money and will tax you to death. Your bank accounts are going to be looked at and the wealthy will have their South African accounts locked down and pilfered by the ANC terrorist syndicate. The Rhodesians warned us in the 80s! Rhodesians had their state pensions stolen by 1983 to the last Dollar. It all went into the back pocket of the new terrorist state.

Yours etc.,

Benny Sparrow, Durban, Natal, South Africa.

A PHONY REVEALS HIS TRUE COLOURS

Many readers will undoubtedly recall the disaster which befell the Swinton Circle (which merged with New Britain to form the Patriotic Forum in 2016) on 31st July 2015 when its meeting was gate-crashed by some two dozen uninvited trouble-makers who then proceeded to disrupt the event, and when asked to leave refused to do so, so that the meeting then descended into chaos (see August 2015 SCN, September 2015 SCN, October 2015 SCN and November 2015 SCN).

It was learnt at this meeting, and confirmed subsequently, that the person who had issued the unauthorised “invitations” to this event was named Jack Buckby – a person who we had never previously heard of, let alone being connected in any way to the organisation! Subsequent information seemed to indicate that this mysterious Buckby character was connected to Paul Griffin, who had been a Committee Member of the Swinton Circle before exposing himself as being in league with the gate-crashing trouble-makers by chatting merrily away to one of the main disrupters of the meeting, prior to resigning from the organisation before he could be expelled. Shortly after the disastrous meeting Griffin induced two other Committee Members, Robin Willow and Paul Symonds, to meet him privately, at which rendezvous he evidently either threatened them or smeared the organisation sufficiently so that they also resigned their membership

Now comes news that the mysterious Jack Buckby, who evidently became associated with several far-Right and extremist organisation, repudiated his former Right-wing views in an interview with Channel 4 News in July 2020, and stated that he now regarded himself as a supporter of Left-wing causes, a position where he felt far happier.

This revelation of course casts a completely new light on the troubling events of 31st July 2015. We wonder therefore whether the two-faced infiltrator Paul Griffin has also now renounced the previous patriotic views which he claimed to hold, and also now supports a Left-wing agenda? Furthermore we wonder what the true positions were and are of the cowards Robin Willow and Paul Symonds, as we have heard nothing further from these traitors since they betrayed the organisation which they held office in?
