March 2021 edition
In the editorial of the February 2020 Edition of the SCN we commented upon the total unsuitability of Prince Harry (the Duke of Sussex) and his Coloured divorcée wife continuing to be members of the British Royal Family, and thereby being representatives of the British nation and people. The subsequent development of their degrading interview with a B-list American talk-show hostess has surely shown that we under-estimated rather than over-estimating this unsuitability!
Prince Harry’s already tarnished reputation now lies in tatters, from which it can never recover. He was shown to be the ultimate of hen-pecked husbands possessing absolutely no self-respect nor any sense of duty or honour. His appalling wife on the other hand openly admitted that she had experienced mental health problems – a damning admission if ever there was one – and clearly possessed a huge chip on her shoulders because of her mixed-race ancestry. She was of course nothing and would have been totally unknown without the status of the man who she married, yet has now – like a female Samson – attempted to bring down the entire British Royal Family alongside the destruction of her own wretched reputation.
But what now of the British Royal Family? Their standing has certainly been damaged by this despicable episode – but not destroyed. Public opinion has overwhelmingly been in their favour, and most people have had nothing but contempt for the antics of Prince Harry and his awful wife – and not only in Britain itself. We must be totally honest, however, and recognise that in spite of her undoubted virtues and talents Queen Elizabeth has contributed to this total disaster herself. Ever since she ascended to the Throne she has constantly adhered to an egalitarian agenda – often to the detriment of her own subjects. The bulk of the British people have remained loyal to her however, in spite of the snubs which they have often received. Even though Her Majesty and most of her family have bent over backwards to appease the enemies of Western civilization this has not proved sufficient for them, as it is clearly the British people and the institution of the British monarchy itself which they despise. Events of the past few weeks have shown that Her Majesty has alas been hoisted by her own petard as a result of this tragic mistake.
Her Majesty is now of course 94, and no matter how much one may wish otherwise it is obvious that nature will shortly take its course. It is only to be hoped therefore that her son and then her grandson do not make the same disastrous mistake, and instead put their own people and their kith and kin from the core Commonwealth first, rather than kow-towing to the demands of the immigrant and alien populations. Regarding Prince Harry himself they must be ruthless. The comments which he and his unspeakable wife made were clearly treasonable and they must pay the price for this. An open DNA test must be demanded of Prince Harry to determine whether he has Royal blood or not, but even if such a test proves positive then he and his wife should be stripped of all their titles and he and his descendants removed from the line of succession. Perhaps furthermore they should follow the same example in dealing with treachery as that of their illustrious predecessor, King Henry VIII.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
Although alas another month has passed without any Springbok Club activity taking place because of all the continuing draconian “lockdown” regulations, the organisation has still been busy establishing a Zoom presence and planning future activities, both in the form of Zoom meetings and “live” gatherings once all the tyrannical “lockdown” restrictions are lifted. Two high-profile guest speakers have been lined-up for Zoom meetings (one now resident in Australia and the other in the United States), and visits to the Hythe Venetian Carnival and the manor house once owned by Cecil Rhodes in Suffolk have been arranged for later during the year. In addition activities exploring the true origins of the Zimbabwe Ruins and re-starting the campaign to have a statue erected in honour of John Chard VC are being planned. Needless to say, information about all these forthcoming events will be detailed in future editions of the SCN once they have been finalised.
------------------------------------------------------------------
PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS
Following its initial two successful Zoom meetings the Patriotic Forum is now in the process of organising further such gatherings featuring several highly qualified guest speakers. The themes for these meetings being planned include the truth behind the Covid-19 pandemic, the deteriorating political situation in the United States and the campaign to defend statues of our heroes of the past. All members and supporters of the Patriotic Forum will of course be notified of these events once final arrangements have been made.
We would like to thank all those friends who made generous donations to enable our movement to establish a Zoom account. Without their most appreciated support the organisation would not now be in a position to start planning all these future Zoom meetings.
------------------------------------------------------------------
THE IMPERIAL PATRIOT
Copies of Edition No.41 of The Imperial Patriot have now been posted out to a number of overseas subscribers, and the writing of Edition No.42 has also now begun. More financial assistance is still required to complete both of these tasks however, so any further donations would therefore be greatly appreciated.

REPORT FROM FAUNA AND FLORA INTERNATIONAL
We have recently received the following most revealing report from the Fauna and Flora International organisation, which reads as follows :-
“EUROPE’S BROWN BEARS: PREVENTING A GRIZZLY END
“Endearing, intelligent and ecologically essential, European brown bears are truly marvellous creatures, but there’s one thing they’re definitely not: easy to live with.
“For the farmers in Romania who are squeezed up against 6,000 of Europe’s last bears, that fact is very real, and can cause very real harm.
“In recent years, these bears have had their habitat carved up by industrial developments and intensifying agriculture, forcing them to head towards human populations in search of food.
“It has been a disaster for both wildlife and people.
“For rural communities in Romania dangerous incidences where bears threaten people or livelihoods are far from rare. Farms can be devastated, and people’s way to make ends meet lost.
“The bears on the other hand - despite already struggling to cope - become victims of illegal, indiscriminate snares. Their paws become trapped in these brutal contraptions leading to more agony than I’m willing to describe in an email.
“It’s simply led to suffering - on both sides. And for the animals, with their situation already desperate, it’s proving more than they can take.
“But there is a solution. And that’s where we come in.
“We’re working with local residents to bring about a peaceful coexistence and protect both bears and people. We’ve introduced an intervention team who safely relocate bears that wander into villages and those that find themselves caught in snares.
“It’s difficult work, but where we’ve had the resources to put it in place, we’ve already seen less conflict and farmers becoming more tolerant of their rather large neighbours.
“’It was hard at night having to sleep with the flock and pay attention to every movement. Now we are more relaxed,” said a shepherd’.
“It is not a quick fix, but the landscape is now changing for the better for these bears. It is with support from people like you that farmers can continue to have a livelihood while bears continue to have a life.”

CONGRATULATIONS TO RANGERS F.C.!
By winning this season’s Scottish Premiership earlier this month Rangers F.C. set two records. Firstly the title was won on the earliest date of the year since the advent of the Scottish Premiership, and secondly by winning the Scottish League title for a 55th time they set a winning record for any national Football league anywhere in the world! Ecstatic congratulations must therefore be extended to all Rangers players, management officials and loyal supporters!
But Rangers F.C. is of course far more than just a Football club. It embodies and exemplifies the Scottish Unionist ethos. Even through the Club’s financial crisis and the near decade-long dominance of Scottish Soccer by Celtic F.C. the Club’s fans and officials have remained defiantly streadfast and loyal – in both senses of the word. Now they are reaping richly deserved rewards for this loyalty!
Meanwhile Scottish Unionism’s antithesis, the splittist SNP, has been engulfed by dire problems. The personality conflict between the party’s two most dominant figures, Alex Salmond and Nicola “Gnasher” Sturgeon, has escalated to fatalistic proportions, with a complete schism in the party now seeming highly likely. The SNP’s ratings in the opinions polls have subsequently declined significantly, and their retrograde idea of a separation of Scotland from the rest of the United Kingdom happily no longer seems to carry majority support, as more and more Scots realise just how moribund their policies and arguments are.
Let us hope therefore that the enthusiasm generated by Rangers’ magnificent triumph will act as a catalyst to hasten the demise of the pathetic SNP, so that they and their backward-looking policies are soon deposited in the dustbin of history where they belong!

EXPERT ANALYSIS FROM PROF. JASON JELLISON
Professor Jason Jellison, who was the guest speaker at the Patriotic Forum’s first Zoom meeting, has recently sent us his analysis of the current US situation, which encapsulates his observations detailed during his talk. His analysis reads as follows :-
“Attached below you will find the URL to an article from Fox News which gives some kind of idea of what I see transpiring in the United States. I'd like you to see the continuing escalation which, according to my education, is precisely what you see when a Civil Conflict starts to mature enough to transform into a Civil War. Here's the deal:
“The so-called 'President' Joe Biden came out and railed on some conservative members of Congress who refused to wear masks as they huddled in a secure space during the Capital melée on 6th January. Not surprisingly, he branded all of President Trump's supporters as ‘thugs’ and a ‘deadly mob’ even though only a small percentage of the protesters even tried to enter the Capital building.
“Mr. Biden went on to brand those of us who refuse to wear masks [which largely includes me] as irresponsible and inconsiderate of the public health. [Of course, I vehemently disagree. I refuse to have my life ruled by a tyrannical government, sacrifice most of my freedom, and/or live in fear.]
“Meanwhile, the particularly extreme Democrats known as 'the Squad' just ratcheted up the rhetoric even more by claiming that said members of Congress were knowingly engaging in ‘chemical warfare’ against their political foes.
“All of this, of course, is coming on the heels of an eleventh-hour, unnecessary impeachment. So, in my eyes what I perceive is the event horizon of a civil war. This COVID-19 situation has clearly become an experiment for governments in how to control and track every individual in society, and I do not think many governments really want COVID-19 to go away. When it someday does, I suspect they will find [or invent] some kind of new bogeyman that justifies maintaining most of the control which they gained over the last year. Thus, in sum total, we're not just in a tit-for-tat escalation of rhetoric which usually precedes a civil war, but the economy is smashed and we are probably going to have to fight to regain the freedoms which we only recently foolishly surrendered. So, I think a civil war [or a failure of the Union of American States] must happen soon. It is not just probably inevitable, but necessary.
“Here's the article: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-slams-congressional-republicans-for-refusing-to-wear-masks-amid-capitol-siege”

THE 2021 CENSUS
The 2021 UK Census will take place on Sunday 21st March, and we believe that it is vitally important that all true Britons take part in this survey.
Following both the 2001 and 2011 Censuses incredible results were announced which claimed that the Non-White population of the UK was far higher than it quite clearly was. These fake results were then used to justify far more funding and influence to the immigrant communities than their actual numbers warranted, and the end result was that we now see far more Non-White faces on our TV screens, in our sports teams and even in Parliament than their true numbers justify.
There were several means by which the percentage of Non-Whites in the country was inflated. Firstly it is a known fact that in 2001 (and undoubtedly in 2011 also, and most worryingly probably this year too) mullahs instructed their flocks in their mosques to include as many of their family members (and others) who still lived in their third-world countries as possible in their census returns, telling them [falsely] that this would make it easier for them to immigrate in the future. The second method by which the percentage of Non-Whites living in the UK was inflated was by including all those who refused to stipulate a race in the total Non-Whites category, and even more incredibly by including all White Britons who did not tick the specific “White British” box but instead wrote in “White English”, “White Scottish” or “White Irish” etc. as being “White other”!
Of greater concern, however, is the fact that at recent Censuses many Whites have refused to return their forms citing “civil liberties” as their reason. This is pure paranoia. British Censuses involving personal data have been enacted ever since 1841, and the individual data has always been protected as secret for 99 years by law – and there have been absolutely no examples of this assurance of secrecy ever being broken.
We therefore implore all true Britons not only to complete their Census forms, but also – without breaking the law – to include as many members of their extended family as possible. Furthermore they should also ensure that they tick the specified “White British” box, and not to describe themselves as “White English” or “White anything else”! It will also be advisable for those of no particular religious belief to specify an indigenous British religion, for otherwise the percentage of those stating to be Muslims will also be inflated to the detriment of the country as a whole.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.268 - Mr. VERNON NORTHEY of Cape Town
Vernon Northey, who lived in the Vlaeberg area of Cape Town, was an early subscriber to S.A.Patriot. He visited the UK, where he had been born, during the mid-1990s and made contact with some of us who had been forced into exile. He proved to be a most charming and knowledgeable man who was a keen Freemason and a proficient organist. Unfortunately his copy of the latest edition of The Imperial Patriot has been returned to us as he is evidently no longer known at his last known address. It would therefore be very interesting to learn what has become of him.

RECOMMENDED WEB-SITE OF THE MONTH
One of our supporters has recently recommended the Save Our Statues organisation to us, it being a most praiseworthy body which campaigns to protect and preserve the statues and memorials to some of our great national heroes of the past. At a time when these statues are being attacked and removed by some of the most evil elements in our society their work is clearly more important than ever, and their worthy web-site where support may be registered can be accessed at :-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
VIEW FROM VAN DIEMEN’S LAND
Sir,
I enjoy your magazine The Imperial Patriot. It helps me to keep up with what is happening in “Old Blighty”, but I do also go on YouTube for much of my information. For a person like me with my opinions and right-wing views I find the content of great interest. What a mess everything is. It all boils down to appalling leadership.
Yours etc.,
Reg A.Watson, Bowden Park, Tasmania, Australia..
----------------------------
SO TIRED ARE THEY!
Sir,
The economic situation nowadays has absolutely nothing to do with apartheid. During White rule South Africa was a first-world country with a world class economy, but at present it even compares badly with other African states. We are not even a third-world country. But the Blacks think they are brilliant while they are really stupid. They are lazy, don't want to work, yet demand wages that can't be imagined.
Yours etc.,
Dr. Pieter Móller, Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa.
----------------------------
OUT OF THE FRYING PAN ……
Sir,
“Zimbabwe” goes into meltdown. No food, work or hope. Thousands a day pass into South Africa with no passport, through the bush and across the Limpopo. See:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4fe1xNp7MM
Yours etc.,
Richard Windsor, Canterbury, Kent, U.K.
----------------------------
DEAD RIGHT
Sir,
I read in the paper last week that only 438 healthy people under the age of 60 died of Covid-19 last year. Whilst in the same time period 950 under 60s died on our roads. You’ll never hear those statistics on the BBC news! Another thing I haven’t heard the BBC mention is what a total shambles the bureaucratic EU are making of rolling out the vaccines across Europe! If we were still entangled in the tentacles of Brussels then we would be as far behind as them.
Yours etc.,
M.Potter, Diss, Norfolk, U.K.
----------------------------
CHINESE JOE
Sir,
All the Uyghurs and Falun Gong practitioners I know who have lost their friends and relatives in Chinese Communist death camps support Donald Trump. What does that tell you about Biden?
Yours etc.,
Bob Vinnicombe, Sefton, N.S.W., Australia
----------------------------
BRISTOL FASHION
Sir,
Bristol RFC’s decision a couple of years ago to adopt the nickname of “The Bears” was strange, as Bristol has no specific connection with Bears. This nickname is however probably more appropriate for Bath RFC (who as far as I know don’t have an official nickname), as there is a Bear Flats area in Bath. Bristol however grew to prosperity through the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, so wouldn’t it be better therefore if Bristol RFC gave “The Bears” nickname to Bath (where the alliteration would be better) and adopted the new nickname of “The Slave Traders”?
C’mon you Slave Traders!
Yours etc.,
“Methodist”, Bristol, U.K.

OBITUARIES
THE 13th LORD BELHAVEN AND STENTON
It was with much sadness that we recently learnt of the death of Robin Hamilton, the 13th Lord Belhaven and Stenton.
Lord Belhaven and Stenton was born into an aristocratic family whose peerage stretched back to the 17th century. The family had however been financially devastated by the effects of draconian death duties introduced by the Attlee Socialist Government in the 1940s, and had lost their elegant family home, Wishaw House in Lanarkshire, as a result. This of course imbued the 13th Lord Belhaven and Stenton with a deep loathing of socialism, a detestation which was only strengthened by the actions of the Blair New Labour Government of the late 1990s which abolished the centuries old hereditary nature of the House of Lords, an act of constitutional vandalism which he fought hard to prevent.
The 13th Lord Belhaven and Stenton was a man of many talents and achievements. He excelled at French and history at school, he served in the Cameronian Scottish Riffles, he was a prominent Freemason, he became a successful pastoral farmer, and then an equally successful hotelier, when at his establishment on the Isle of Islay he was not only proprietor but also an excellent chef! Later during life he devoted his efforts to assiduous service in the House of Lords however. Alas his domestic life was not without setbacks, as he was twice divorced, before finding lasting happiness with his third wife, a Polish lady. He had a total of three children of his own, plus a step-daughter from his second marriage, and as a result of his final marriage took a benevolent interest in Polish affairs, and, becoming aware of how badly Poland had suffered during the 20th century, spoke often in support of Polish interests in the House of Lords. An avid pipe-smoker, he was also a leading light in a Parliamentary pipe-smoking society!
Politically the 13th Belhaven and Stenton was a natural Conservative – but was also a staunch Imperialist. He initially sat on the Conservative benches in the House of Lords, but becoming bitterly disillusioned with Edward Heath’s leadership – particularly because of his Government’s refusal to allow the loyal people of the Abaco archipelago to breakaway from the Bahamas and remain a British colony – he resigned from the Conservative Party and sat in the House of Lords as a representative of the SNP, a most bizarre move as he was always totally opposed to Scottish independence! This of course did not last for lone, and upon the advent of Margaret Thatcher’s leadership he rejoined the Conservative Party. He was a firm EuroSceptic and opposed Britain’s membership of the EU right from the start, and also supported Rhodesia’s right to declare UDI, fiercely opposing all the resulting sanctions.
Lord Belhaven and Stenton spoke at a Springbok Club meeting in October 1998, whereat he gave an enthralling speech, in the course of which he demonstrated why the hereditary nature of the House of Lords was so important, why he was such a firm opponent of Britain’s EU membership, and why he saw the Commonwealth as a viable alternative to EU entrapment. Most significantly, however, when asked what he thought was the root cause for Britain’s post-WW2 decline he immediately and unambiguously stated that it was Mountbatten’s surrender of India!
The 13th Belhaven and Stenton was a great man whose memory should never be forgotten, and his ideals and achievements should continue to inspire us. Our sincerest condolences are extended to all his family members, especially to his son and heir the 14th Lord Belhaven and Stenton, who we trust will eventually be able to claim his rightful place in the House of Lords.

IAN ST.JOHN
John “Ian” St.John, who sadly died at the beginning of the month, was one of the most gifted soccer players of the latter half of the 20th century. Born in Motherwell, he started his professional career playing for his local side, before being transferred for a then club record fee to Liverpool F.C., where he made his name. He played in 425 first team games for Liverpool, scoring 118 goals and was in the Liverpool team which won the Football League twice during the 1960s and the FA Cup in 1965. He also played 21 internationals for Scotland, scoring 9 goals.
After his Liverpool career was over he spent a year, 1971, playing for the Cape Town club Hellenic in South Africa’s National Football League (NFL), and the following year returned to South Africa in an advisory capacity for Hellenic’s Cape Town rivals Cape Town City. It should be remembered of course that this was during the time that South Africa still enjoyed civilised rule, and when all overseas sportsmen and sportswomen who agreed to play in the country were being condemned and harassed by extreme left-wing elements, and so these actions by Ian St.John in expressing his solidarity with his South African kith and kin were therefore acts of great courage and honour.
After retirement Ian St.John entered a BBC competition to find a new soccer commentator. He entered under a pseudonym so as not to influence the judges and reached the final. Instead of pursuing a career as a match commentator, however, he decided to become a TV soccer show host and pundit, forming a partnership with the popular former England international Jimmy Greaves to present ITV’s Saturday lunchtime programme Saint and Greavsie. Although Jimmy Greaves disappointed his fans by presenting a rather amateur image of somebody who was not very bright, Ian St.John emerged as a natural professional, proving to be articulate, sharp and an expert analyst.
Our sincere sympathies are extended to all members of Ian St.John’s family.
