August 2025 Edition
It is surely the primary duty of any national government to protect the interests and the well-being of its own citizens. If they also choose to care for citizens of other countries also then all well and good – but to welcome those who actually invade their own country (whether bearing weapons or not) and who threaten the interests and well-being of its own citizens can only be described as treason of the most diabolical kind.
Alas however governments of most western nations currently seem to be committing high treason of this type with no compunction whatsoever. To be sure the Trump Administration in the United States has taken decisive steps to halt the invasion of their southern border by alien minions, and more recent non-ALP Australian governments have tried their best to prevent third-world parasites reaching their shores, but with the exceptions of only Russia, Belarus, Hungary and Serbia all European governments have placed no effective let or hinderance on the swarms of non-White invaders crossing the Mediterranean and the English Channel hell-bent on reaching and settling in countries which are not their own, and which they have no right to abide in whatsoever.
It is difficult to comprehend the mindset of those in authority who have accepted, and in many cases openly collaborated with, those who have been invading their countries and are clearly seeking to destroy their societies. Many are cowards who have been cowered by internationalist treaties such as the “European Convention on Human Rights” and the “United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees”. Both of these conventions related to the chaos which existed in Europe following WW2 however, and therefore no longer have any relevance to a completely different world which exists some 80 years later – and furthermore, certainly as far as Britain is concerned, were never voted for in any referendum nor appeared with any prominence in any party’s manifesto. Other collaborators have far more nefarious reasons for supporting the attempted invasions of their own countries however; they fully support the egalitarian agenda of those sinister internationalist cults which openly seek to destroy all forms of national and ethnic identities. These creatures can only be considered traitors of the worst possible kind and should be treated accordingly.
But there is one Western country where their governments have constantly put the interests of their own citizens first and foremost – namely Israel. Successive Israeli government, to greater or lesser extents, haven’t cared a tinker’s cuss about the provisions of international treaties which they have had no part in framing, and have been ruthless in their defence of their own people. Israel has resisted all condemnations and censures from the international community, and thereby has shown that the United Nation’s bark is far worse than its bite, and that at the end of the day there is nothing to fear from flouting their resolutions and conventions. Whenever their country and its citizens has been violently attacked – as happened on 7th October 2023 – Israel has acted decisively and effectively in order to destroy the evil entity attacking them by whichever means has been necessary, and has taken no notice whatsoever of international criticisms.
Britain and other western European nations should and must act as ruthlessly, and with a similar disregard for international condemnations, as Israel has done when it comes to defending their borders against alien invaders. The “European Convention on Human Rights” and the “United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees” should be torn to pieces and the defence of their own countries and the protection of their people should be the only criteria considered. If this means physically confronting the would-be invaders and accounting for them, just as the Israelis have done with those attacking them, then so be it.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
Unfortunately the Cricket match featuring a team which the Springbok Club has very friendly connections to had to be rained-off, so the Springbok Club was therefore not able to attend and support this fixture after all. The organisation does however hope to patronise a future game involving this same club either later this year or next season.
----------------------------
Towards the end of August the Springbok Club is again hoping to welcome Mr. Geoff Hill as guest speaker, who will be giving a further report-back about the current situation in southern Africa, and all members and supporters of the organisation will be notified of the precise details of this event as soon as it has been finalised. During late September the Springbok Club will be honouring its promise to the late, great Peter Sladden by maintaining the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony, which this year will be held in Oxfordshire, and in October the organisation will be patronising a Rugby match featuring a club with strong South African connections. More precise details about these events will of course be given in future editions of the SCN.

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS
The Patriotic Forum resumed activities after a short break last month with a most spectacular meeting when the organisation welcomed a delegation of representatives from the Chagos Islands - the British Indian Ocean Territory Citizens’ Forum – to address the organisation. Miss Vanessa Calou gave a full and riveting talk in which she explained why the surrender deal to Mauritius currently being attempted by the Labour Government must be stopped, emphasising that Chagossians were proud citizens of the British Indian Ocean Territories and were determined that their homeland must stay British, and Ms. Cindy Bellefine gave a well-researched speech about the legal position of the dispute, and how they were framing their campaign of opposition. Both speeches were greeted with great support and appreciation, with several helpful and observant questions emanating from the floor (and as one supporter accurately observed the situation of the Chagos Islanders is the complete reverse to the case of the illegal immigrants currently crossing the channel, as they were unwillingly forced to leave their home islands due to the building of defence infrastructure there, yet now wished to return home and to remain loyal subjects of the British Empire!).
The British Indian Ocean Territory Citizens’ Forum have produced a link to a template which can be used to write to MPs and others in authority regarding the Chagossians’ right to self-determination and the status of their islands. This can be accessed at :-

----------------------------
The Patriotic Forum hopes to welcome a leading official from a prominent conservative (with a small “c”!) think-tank as guest speaker shortly, and in October will be welcoming a recently elected ReformUK county councillor to address the organisation.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS FOR PATRIOTIC PRESS
This edition of the SCN marks its 26th anniversary. There has of course never been any charge for this Internet-based circular as our costs have always been minimal. This however does not apply to Patriotic Press’s other periodical, our hard-copy magazine The Imperial Patriot. Many tend to underestimate the value of a hard-copy publication in comparison to an on-line equivalent. On-line postings tend to be “here today and gone tomorrow” and are often deleted before they are even read. Hard-copy magazines however tend to lie around for ages and are often picked up and read several times over – frequently being passed-on to other people. At the present moment in time when so many dramatic events are taking place throughout the world – some of them good but others disastrous – the need for us to get our message circulated to a wider audience is therefore more important than ever. We are therefore urgently appealing for funds to make this possible. It is estimated that the printing costs to produce our next edition, No.44, will be approximately £600.00. If just 6 of our readers could contribute £100.00 then we would reach this target; if 12 could donate £50.00 then this would be sufficient; if 24 could give us £25,00 then we’d have success; if 60 could send us £10.00 then we would be there! We therefore ask all of our readers to do their best to help us reach this target as soon as possible. Never forget that the SCN costs you nothing, and that we already have sufficient material to produce issue No.44 of The Imperial Patriot. Our banking details where donations can be sent appear at the end of this edition of the SCN.

MESSAGE FROM ANIMAL SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL
We have recently received the following harrowing message from the Animal Survival International organisation concerning vicious out-of-control attacks on wildlife in the “new” South Africa. It reads as follows :-
“When Ike was just a few years old, he was spotted wandering the Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa with both his horns viciously hacked off.
“The park’s anti-poaching team raced to his rescue, and as they approached the young white rhino bull, they saw he had also been slashed across his back with a panga - a machete-like blade used in Africa to stab, hack and kill.
“It was clear he had been savagely attacked by poachers who left him for dead - but they had not counted on Ike’s tremendous will to survive.
“Can you imagine the terror and trauma this tragic young rhino must have experienced as poachers relentlessly hacked at his body while he was still alive?
“With his horn bed severely damaged and his back chopped up, Ike needed life-saving care.
“He was rescued and treated by expert wildlife vets and our partners, Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre (HESC) and Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation and Development (HERD), and named him 'Ikanyega' – meaning 'trust' in Setswana.
“During his protracted treatment and recovery, a remaining piece of horn began to grow rapidly. The team decided to surgically remove the stub to prevent another attack by poachers.
“Although Ike has been recovering well, things have now taken a turn for the worse.
“A few weeks ago, on their routine rounds, our partners noticed that an area of horn that is regrowing has become infected. It is likely that Ike incurred a run-of-the-mill injury, but because the horn site is already compromised, a raging infection has developed, attracting flies.
“Flies, seeking out cool, moist respite from the African heat, lay eggs in wounds like these, which means Ike is in serious trouble: the eggs will hatch, and the resultant maggots will begin to eat away at Ike’s infected horn area. HERD needs to treat the area, and they must do it fast!
“Ike faces a fresh, painful hurdle after his long road to recovery; an infested horn bed on the verge of being infested with maggots.
“Ike is just one victim of a poaching crisis that threatens all five rhino species around the world.
“The IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) lists the white rhino as near threatened and decreasing, with less than 17,000 left in the African wild.
“Rhinos have been relentlessly slaughtered for the illegal wildlife trade, as their horns are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and are also considered aphrodisiacs and symbols of status and wealth.
“Our partners work tirelessly to help protect the species, which is why they opted to remove Ike’s horn regrowth. Every individual is critical to the species, and that is why we must rush our support to Ike right away.
“Ike has suffered immensely in his short life. Butchered for his rhino horns and left for dead, he overcame he odds to survive, only to face death again.
“This brave animal has survived a horrific poaching attempt to have a second chance at life - please, don’t allow this infection to rob him of that!
“If we can raise $5,000 (around £3,950), we can cover the cost of Ike’s expert treatment by a team of experienced wildlife vets, as well as veterinary medication and supplies to treat the infection. Our team will monitor him closely over the coming weeks and ensure that he is fit and healthy to rejoin his herd in their safe, protected area.
“People have shown him the very worst of humanity - now, we have the chance to show him the best. Please donate as much as you possibly can right away, and together, we can give Ike the happy future he deserves.
“Saving animals and the planet,
“Campaign Director
“Animal Survival International,
“P.S. Ike was butchered for his horns and left for dead! Donate right away and help us save the life of this young white rhino – every rhino counts in the face of Africa’s horrendous poaching crisis.”

ARE SPORTING BODIES COMING TO THEIR SENSES?
It has just been announced that two leading English sporting authorities, the Football Association and Premiership Rugby, have cut their ties with the “Stonewall” organisation. “Stonewall” is a very sinister outfit which acts as a pressure group for those who advocate the acceptance of sodomy and other forms of sexual perversion. The fact that sporting authorities, who by their very nature are youth-orientated, should associate with such vile degenerates has been the subject of fierce opposition from those concerned with the well-being of children and teenagers ever since these ties were first established in 2018.
But links with the depraved “Stonewall” outfit isn’t the only example of sporting authorities recently appeasing trendy “woke” causes, for these same bodies also gave their backing to the Marxist-orchestrated “taking of the knee” phenomenon, which of course glorified the lawlessness and anti-police rioting which broke out in the United States in 2020. Although this obnoxious practice has declined significantly following widespread booing when performed, it is alas still being sanctioned by the Football Association and other soccer governing bodies in certain circumstances.
The ending of the links with “Stonewall” and the decline in the sickening “taking of the knee” performances is of course most welcome – but the question must still be asked why the sporting authorities concerned allowed such heinous connections to be established in the first place? In years to come future generations will look back upon these disgusting episodes with anger and disbelief – and they will be right!

THE AFGHAN COVER-UP AND THE ASSAULT ON DEMOCRACY
The revelation that both of the latest two British governments engaged in a massive cover-up regarding a leak of military intelligence and the resulting airlift of thousands of mainly unvetted Afghanis to the UK is perhaps one of the worst acts of secretive governmental action against the interests of the British people enacted in recent history. The Academy of Ideas has produced and circulated an excellent exposé of the details of this unacceptable incident, which can be accessed at :-

REMEMBER LUCY CONNOLLY!
The case of Lucy Connolly, the 41-year-old loyal British citizen and wife of a Conservative Northamptonshire councillor who was sentenced to a draconian 31-month prison sentence merely for posting a tweet similar to many thousand others which were sent by outraged law-abiding citizens following the demonic murder of three young girls in Southport just over a year ago, caused great loathing and disgust at the Starmer Labour administration under whose auspices this unacceptable sentence was imposed. Unbelievably, even though almost a year has elapsed since this hideous sentence was imposed, and in spite of massive protests against it, Lucy Connolly still languished in jail. Her plight should never be forgotten however, and The Daily Sceptic is to be congratulated upon reporting on the case in full detail, which can be accessed at :-

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.321: Mr. RICHARD SOUTHGATE of Durban
Richard Southgate was on the fringes of “The Roper Set” (see August 2016 SCN) during the early 1980s. He is believed to have hailed from the British Midlands, and like so many others associated with “The Roper Set” was also involved with Durban Collegians Soccer section. He is probably best remembered for turning up at Paul Roper’s 1980 fancy-dress birthday party dressed as Tweedledee (or was it Tweedledum?), a sight which caused a passing group of kaffir garden-boys to collapse into convulsions of hysterical laughter! It would be very interesting to learn what became of him and where he is now.

INDECENT VALUES
Sir,
Michael Woodbridge must be naïve in the extreme if he thinks that Islam upholds decent traditional values [see letter “Devil’s Choice” in May 2025 SCN – Ed.]. “Decent traditional values”!?! Grooming gangs, cross-Channel invasions, child brides, gay groups, halal slaughter, misogyny, beheadings of non-believers and apostates? If Mr. Woodbridge regards such practices which typify the Islamic religion as “decent traditional values” then he is clearly living in a different universe to me and other British Nationalists! Yours etc.,
“Nationalist”, Gillingham, Kent, U.K.

OBITUARY
LORD TEBBIT OF CHINGFORD C.H.
It was with extreme sorrow that we learnt of the recent death Lord Tebbit of Chingford. Norman Beresford Tebbit was born at Enfield in 1931. He was a Grammar School boy who attended Edmonton Grammar School in north London. Although academically bright the fact that his family were not wealthy meant that he had to leave school at 16 without any opportunity of going on to university. He was however keenly interested in politics from an early age, and like his parents became an active member of the Conservative Party.
His first job was with the Financial Times, but alas this proved a job with no real prospects of fulfilling his growing ambitions. His first big breakthrough in life came when he was called up to do his National Service, and was successful in entering the RAF where his intellect and abilities enabled him to train to become a pilot. After his National Service was completed he joined the Royal Auxiliary Air Force, but more importantly in 1953 he obtained a job with BOAC as a pilot on their growing fleet of jet airliners. Three years later he married Margaret Daines, a marriage which was to prove – in spite of a terrible tragedy which befell them both – to be long, happy and successful.
In 1970 however he achieved his childhood ambition by being elected to Parliament as Conservative MP for Epping. This was the General Election when Edward Heath came to power, but Norman Tebbit was clearly on an opposite wing of the party to Heath and as a result did not obtain any high appointment under his premiership. Following the Conservative Party’s two defeats in 1974 and the subsequent deposing of Heath as party leader Norman Tebbit gave his full support to Margaret Thatcher. During Margaret Thatcher’s years of opposition Norman Tebbit became increasingly noticed as a forthright and trenchant backbencher, so it was no surprise therefore that once in power in 1979 Margaret Thatcher quickly appointed him to a position in government as a junior Trade Minister, Further promotions soon followed, firstly to the cabinet as Secretary of State for Industry and then as Secretary of State for Employment, (it was whilst in this position that he made his famous speech observing that during the Depression his father didn’t riot – “he got on his bike and found work”!), until finally he was appointed Secretary of State for Trade and Industry.
By this time Norman Tebbit was increasingly being talked of as Margaret Thatcher’s most likely successor as Prime Minister – but then terrible tragedy struck when he was caught up in the bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton by the vermin of the Provisional IRA. Although seriously injured Norman Tebbit survived, but his wife Margaret was not so fortunate as she was paralysed from the waist down for the rest of her life. Norman was devoted to her, and from then onwards gave his first and foremost attention to her care and well-being rather than to his Parliamentary career. It has been accurately observed that even though the PIRA scum never achieved their main aim of killing Margaret Thatcher herself, they still had a devasting effect on the British nation by ending the leadership ambitions of Margaret Thatcher’s most able and likely successor.
Norman Tebbit did however return to a prominent position in Government as Conservative Party Chairman and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, but after Margaret Thatcher’s third General Election victory he left Government for good. Following the coup which removed Margaret Thatcher from power Norman Tebbit – like most likeminded members of the Conservative Party caucus – gave his backing to John Major, but as subsequent events showed Major proved nowhere near the natural successor to Margaret Thatcher as Norman Tebbit himself would have done. When Major proved weak and easily controlled by the pro-EU wing of his party Norman Tebbit, even though he had left Parliament in 1992, became increasingly the figurehead of the EuroSceptic wing of his party and galvanised those on the same wavelength, a towering example which of course helped to achieve glorious triumph some 20 years later. Norman Tebbit was also unafraid and forthright in voicing his opposition to non-White immigration into the UK, and by his famous “Cricket Test analogy” showed that his opposition was mainly based upon the ethnicity of the immigrants rather than merely their numbers.
It has often been observed that, alongside Enoch Powell, Norman Tebbit was one of the two greatest Prime Ministers which Britain never had. In 2006 Norman Tebbit addressed a meeting of New Britain (one of the component factions which merged to form today’s Patriotic Forum) where he gave a most powerful and inspiring speech which proved that this observation was undoubtedly correct. We however shouldn’t just blame the PIRA for denying our country of this natural and expected leader, but we should also castigate the other Conservative Party “leaders” who came after him – most notably John Major – who showed that they possessed nowhere near the same required calibre.
Margaret Tebbit died in 2020, and until the end Norman loved and cared for her, thus confirming the true human greatness of the man. Our sincerest condolences are extended to Norman Tebbit’s daughter and two sons and to all who knew and miss him. All the time that Britain can produce men of the calibre of Norman Tebbit then we have nothing to worry about for the future.
