SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
July 2012 edition
The victories in this year’s Tour de France by Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish, so ably supported by fellow-stage-winners Chris Froome and David Millar, must surely represent the pinnacle of not only British cycling excellence, but indeed of British sporting excellence in general.
It should not be forgotten, however, that most of these victors have strong links with a number of British former colonies and Commonwealth countries. Chris Froome was born in Kenya South Africa Malta Hong Kong ; and even Bradley Wiggins himself had an Australian father.
These links with Commonwealth and former Empire territories have not been uncommon among leading British sportsmen and women over the past few decades however. Both the England South Africa Australia Singapore South Africa Seychelles
We must emphasise here that we are not talking about “plastic Brits” who have no historical connections with the UK UK
But why is it that so many members of the British diaspora seem to excel to a far greater extent than the average native-born Brits? There are those who argue that it is all because of the environment – they have been brought up in warmer lands where it is far easier to train and to compete. We do not believe that the reason is quite so simple as this however. We believe that the greatest and best in our race - those who over the centuries have journeyed out from our shores to explore and to establish lands anew - are by very nature fired by the pioneer and adventurous spirit. In other words it is in their British genes!
Furthermore, we believe that this same spirit of adventure and imperial idealism will continue to be produced among the British people – even among those who are not themselves the descendents of earlier colonial pioneers. This national characteristic needs an ongoing outlet however, which ever since the post-WWII abdication of Empire has not been available. We must all start to “think big” therefore, and to advocate and to take steps to colonise afresh. The forthcoming London Olympics will undoubtedly prove to be an ideal catalyst for this renewed spirit of national invigoration!

SPRINGBOK CLUB OLYMPIC ACTIVITIES
The Springbok Club will be organizing parties to watch the following "free" events which will be taking place at the Olympic Games :-
1) Wednesday 1st August - The Cycling Time Trials at Hampton Court
2) Saturday 4th August – Mens 20 km Walk (starting at 17.00 hrs).
3) Sunday 5th August – Women’s Marathon (starting at 11.00 hrs).

A number of supporters have asked us where exactly we plan to rendezvous for these events. Unfortunately we will not really know until the days in question themselves, but undoubtedly we’ll be trying to gather at points near to “giant screens” where the crowds are the smallest. Please ‘phone 07711188430 on the days near to the starting times to discover our precise locations.
------------------------------------------------------------------
FUTURE SPRINGBOK CLUB EVENTS
In September it is anticipated that a re-launch meeting for the Hampshire Branch of the Springbok Club will held.
On October 20th a Springbok Club trip is being planned to see the newly restored Cutty Sark at Greenwich New Britain
In November the Springbok Club will be staging its annual UDI Day dinner, at which it is hoped that a prominent ex-Rhodesian will be guest speaker.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Swinton Circle Swinton Circle
---------------------------------
There has been much comment made about last month’s highly successful Enoch Powell Centenary Conference/Dinner which was co-hosted by the Swinton Circle Swinton Circle
---------------------------------
The Swinton Circle
------------------------------------------------------------------
New Britain’s Canada Day celebrations at the start of the month in both London and York proved to be great successes, with events in York proving to be particularly well attended.
The next major activity being planned by New Britain is its annual Trafalgar Day celebrations, which this year is provisionally planned for Saturday 20th October. This will involve the laying of a wreath on Nelson’s tomb at St.Paul’s Cathedral in the morning, followed by a celebration dinner with a prominent Naval guest speaker at a nautical-themed restaurant at Greenwich during the evening. Both the Springbok Club and the Swinton Circle have been invited to participate in these events, and more precise details will be included in future editions of the SCN.
------------------------------------------------------------------
OLYMPIC FEVER
This of course will be the final appearance of this column before the actual 2012 London Olympic Games themselves, and we know that it has become a very popular feature of the SCN over the past year. We will of course be giving a review of the Games themselves – with accounts of the Springbok Club’s parties to view the “free” events in particular – in next month’s edition.
The Olympic Torch Relay is now of course reaching its climax, and we know that many of our supporters have already been able to view this spectacular sight – at places as diverse as Canterbury, Barnstaple, St.Leonard’s, Rochester and Holt in Norfolk. All of course have reported how inspiring this experience proved to be – not just the sight of the Torch itself, but the massive crowds with the resulting palatable patriotic fervour!
The Torch Relay itself seems to have gone without a hitch (except alas in Londonderry, where a group of odious Irish Nationalists prevented it from travelling part of the planned route – we wonder whether the obnoxious Irish Nationalist who disrupted the Springbok Club meeting in Belfast last year was involved with this further disgusting disruption in any way?), so everyone involved with LOGOC and organizing this event deserves the heartiest of congratulations. It also of course bodes extremely well for the smooth running of the Olympic Games themselves!

LATEST REPORT FROM THE Z.C.T.F.
We have recently received the following most informative report from the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force :-
UPDATE ON CHIREDZI RIVER CONSERVANCY
Despite numerous reports and photos having been supplied to the authorities, the destruction of Chiredzi River Conservancy by illegal settlers continues unabated. It is now alleged that the settlers are putting together a petition to present to parliament requesting that all the elephants be shot as they are destroying their crops. This is a very strange request in view of the fact that crops can't be successfully grown in this arid, unarable area.
Settlers have now started invading Oscro Ranch which is one of the last remaining areas of Chiredzi River Conservancy with no settlers. They are moving into the area, chopping down trees and building shelters. All these people have already taken land elsewhere in the conservancy. Reports are made daily to the police but they have not responded. It is alleged that war veterans are the driving force behind these invasions.
RHINO POACHING IN SOUTH AFRICA

SHERWOOD TREE PLANTING DAY
Sherwood Golf Club has committed itself to helping the environment by going green and one of their first projects is to plant up to 2000 trees. They are working hand in hand with COSMO Trust, the Monavale community organisation which maintains one of the few remaining wetlands in the Harare Salisbury
On Saturday, 3rd March, they held a tree planting ceremony at the golf course where trees, supplied by COSMO were sold to interested people. The trees purchased were planted on the golf course and tagged with the purchaser's name so that the buyer can monitor its growth. The money raised from selling the trees will go towards preserving the wetlands.
In addition to tree planting, Sherwood Golf Club is also using environmentally friendly fertilizers. They are actively involved with various organisations and individuals in cleaning up the environment by collecting materials for recycling. Empty tin cans (beer or soft drinks) can be dropped off at the club where they will be stored for recycling.
The official tree planting ceremony was held at 12 noon and a talk was given by the Member of Parliament, Ms. J. Majome.
We would like to comment Sherwood Golf Club for the stance they have taken in helping to preserve our environment and we encourage other clubs to follow their example.

EXCELLENT DAILY MAIL ARTICLE BY DEREK TURNER
Derek Turner, the editor of Quarterly Review, recently had an excellently researched article about the sinister UN immigration big-wig Peter Sutherland published in the Daily Mail. It is well worth reading, and can be accessed at :-

OLD ARTICLE BY EDITOR
We have recently been alerted to the fact that an old article written by the editor of the SCN has mysteriously appeared on the Internet, although no permission was asked in advance and we have no idea who placed it there.
We of course have no objection to it being placed on the Web, but it would have been nice to have been informed in advance – and it would also have been preferable it a better picture of the editor had been used (though at least this picture shows that he is considerably overweight however, and therefore couldn’t possibly be the thin person who appeared in pornographic smear photos which were circulated at the beginning of last year falsely claiming to be of him!). We are also quite disturbed by the fact that copyright for this article is apparently claimed by someone called Lindon Litchfield from Australia
This article, entitled “Why we got it wrong about the Afrikaners”, was originally written in 1992/93, shortly after the catastrophic 1992 constitutional referendum in South Africa
In this article it is argued that the Afrikaner people as a whole voted so overwhelmingly for national suicide because their patriotism was based mainly upon geography rather than upon race, and that they gave far too much unswerving loyalty to the three main institutions of Afrikanerdom (the NP, the NGK and the Broederbond), all of which had turned 180 degrees over the years and had been prepared to sell-out their people. Although now very dated, this article still comprises very useful historical background information, and can be accessed at :-

"P.K. VAN DER BYL - AFRICAN STATESMAN" by Hannes Wessels
ISBN: 978-1-920143-49-7 / paperback / illustrated
Retail price: R250.00, Web-site price: R200.00 + postage
The narrative gives the reader an overview of the history of the White man in southern Africa with detailed emphasis on the Rhodesian story through the life and times of PK van der Byl, one of the major players in a political drama that ended in the accession to power of Robert Mugabe under the auspices of the British government. By his very nature PK was controversial and confrontational. This account is likely to give offence to some because it portrays him as bluntly as he was in real life. Much can be contested about PK van der Byl but few will dispute he was an extremely colourful character with a devilish sense of humour. This memoir covers his life with a full flourish while doing nothing to detract from the seriousness of the international political and military conflict in which he was engaged. The reader will glean new information on a highly controversial subject and emerge with a more sympathetic understanding of what PK van der Byl and his colleagues did and strove for. The human tragedy that has followed the removal from power of Ian Smith and his Rhodesian Front party will almost certainly force the reader to deal with some uncomfortable conclusions, of value to anyone sincere about grappling with the volatile and deeply troubling challenges that confront all Africans today.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.164: Mr. IAIN RICHARDSON of Suffolk
Iain Richardson wrote to us several years ago expressing great interest in the work of the Springbok Club. He was at that time based in Woodbridge Suffolk Ipswich . A few months ago his e-mails started to be returned however, and when as a result we wrote to his last known postal address this was also returned as he was evidently no longer living there. If anyone can inform us of either his new e-mail address or his new postal address then we would be most grateful.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
POWELL’S HOPE
Sir,
Mr. Taylor’s letter in last month’s SCN was spot-on both about Enoch Powell’s genius and the mistakes made by successive Conservative Party electoral colleges in deciding new leaders.
My only disagreement concerns Enoch Powell’s alleged anti-Americanism. Enoch Powell was never anti-American per se. He became aware during WWII that the FDR administration was seeking the disintegration of the British Empire and worked tirelessly to expose this fact. He was also totally opposed to the Eisenhower administration, which he felt stabbed Britain France Suez Vietnam

STUCK WITH PRITT
Sir,
George Galloway I regard him as the worst mainland MP since D.N.Pritt and Captain Ramsey, and was struck by his being elected by a kind of Muslim bloc vote. I'd say that this proves that Enoch was right when he said that we were building our own funeral pyre. That these people were admitted with Labour's support reminds me of Shakespeare - 'tis sport to see the engineer hoist by his own petard!

ROGUES GALLERY
A supporter has recently informed us of a very interesting web-site concerning someone who has caused us considerable problems over the years, namely Mr. Arthur Kemp.
Kemp, as most readers will recall, gave every impression of being a staunch supporter of our movement whilst we were still based in South Africa Transvaal not to touch him with a bargepole, as he was believed to be working for the NP-government’s security services in order to spy on the White opposition.
After we were forced to leave the disintegrating South Africa and had re-established our movement in exile, we soon began to realize that these warnings about Kemp should have been listened to, for it became clear that he had simply been “handed over” to the “new” South African security services - albeit that he had dropped his former mainstream image and was adopting a new off-the-edge neo-Nazi persona. Most worryingly, however, he was clearly heavily implicated in a number of smear vendettas and dirty-tricks campaigns aimed at our movement, the most sickening being the concocting and circulating of disgusting fabricated pornographic pictures which were falsely claimed to feature the editor of the SCN.
With this in mind the recent web-site which we have been alerted to proved particularly interesting, as it concerned a widely-circulated photograph of Kemp wearing an effeminate shirt and a “Brokeback Mountain Germany
Ever since Kemp betrayed his former Conservative Party friends in South Africa South Africa UK
Over the past couple of years, however, a very odd series of events have befallen leading personalities in these two phoney groupings which Kemp was associated with, namely :-
· Eugene Terre’Blanche (the leader of the anti-English AWB outfit): killed by two of his farm-workers on 3rd April 2010 , after apparently refusing to pay them for sexual favours.
· Michael Keith-Smith (the leader of the “Conservative Democratic Alliance”, who threatened unsuccessfully to sue the editor of the SCN for alleged libel): committed suicide by flinging himself from the top of Portchester Castle 3rd July 2010 .
· Ian Anderson (another leading member of “The Sickly Clique”, who once included a libellous smear article attacking us in his obscure broadsheet): died of apparently natural causes on 2nd February 2011 aged only 57.
· Fred Rundle (a leading spokesperson for the AWB outfit and close personal friend of Kemp, who was implicated to the spreading of the fabricated pornographic pictures): committed suicide by taking a drug overdose on 1st February 2012 .
· Anthony Hancock (an anti-Semitic holocaust-denying printer, who evidently printed many of Kemp’s tangled and tortured books): died on 11th June 2012 aged only 65, officially from a stroke, but actually termed “slow-motion suicide” after months of self-neglect.
Perhaps the Gods are trying to tell Kemp – and other remaining members of “The Sickly Clique” – something!

OBITUARY
ERIC SYKES
Eric Sykes, the greatly loved Lancashire-born comedian, who sadly died earlier this month aged 89, will not only be remembered as a great show-business legend, but also as a great British hero.
He fought with distinction with the RAF as a wireless officer during WWII, and was actually present at the German surrender on Luneberg Heath. It was whilst serving in the RAF that he discovered his talent as an entertainer, particularly as a comedy script-writer. Following the end of WWII he quickly became a much sought-after comedy writer, both for rep’ and for radio. A chance appearance on screen in 1960 revealed his talent for not only comedy writing but also for comedy acting however, and from then onwards his career never looked back.
Eric Sykes’s humour was never crude or smutty. He had the ability to make people laugh – whether by writing or by performing – without recourse to lavatorial references or bawdy language.
His television sit-com partnership with Hattie Jacques was probably his best remembered achievement, but of perhaps greater long-term importance was his stage partnership with Jimmy Edwards. Jimmy Edwards was another deeply patriotic comedian (he had stood as Conservative Party candidate for Paddington during the 1960s), and together they produced one of the most successful theatrical comedy shows ever – Big Bad Mouse. They toured all the major Commonwealth countries with this show, but against the admonishments of the then Labour government and the threat of expulsion from Equity, this tour also included the then Rhodesia
Eric Sykes will be sorely missed, but the enduring memory of his humour, decency and patriotism will live for ever.
