December 2021 edition
Many recent opinion poll findings have revealed that the most pressing problem worrying the British people at the moment is not the alleged Covid-19 pandemic, nor the debatable climate change crisis as would be expected if the mainstream media was to be believed, but rather illegal immigration.
News footage of rubber dinghies crossing the English Channel full of alien migrants are shown regularly on our television screens and on Internet streaming services, and the reaction of most British people to this has been anger and loathing. This however has not been the reaction of the egalitarians within our midst, who sickeningly seem to express sympathy with the parasitical migrants and sorrow when providence prevents them from achieving their unlawful aims.
Make no bones about it, these swarms of alien migrants have absolutely NO right to migrate to the UK, and the vast majority of them – given the fact that they are able to pay substantial sums to “people smugglers” - are not refugees in the true sense of the word. They are INVADERS who wish to exploit Britain’s well-known free National Health Service and universal benefits system!
In the past Britain has been threatened with invasion by the Spanish in 1588, the French in the early 19th century and the Germans TWICE during the 20th century. Just because this present invasion of our shores does not involve those bearing weapons does not mean that it is any less of a threat to Britain’s identity, nor to the well-being of the British people! On all the previous occasions when Britain was under attack both the establishment (Parliament and the media etc.) and the ordinary British people stood together to form a united patriotic front, but today alas this is not the case – indeed many members of the establishment seem to be openly siding with the enemy!
It is no good blaming the French as so many seem to be doing, as the French people are faced with exactly the same threat as the British people are – as indeed are most of the peoples of the great European nation-states, especially those still trapped within the German-dominated EU. Hopefully France and many more of these countries will soon follow Britain’s example and breakaway from EU entrapment, and will then be able to control their own borders once again. Even better would be if all Western nations could act in unison and tear-up the outdated 1951 UNHCR Refugee Convention so that all of the swarms of parasitic migrants could then be immediately returned to their lands of ethnic origin.
But solving the current illegal immigration problem alone will not be sufficient to remove the threat to our national identities and the rights and freedoms of our citizens, for ever since the end of WW2 there have been growing ghettos of alien immigrants in all the major cities of Western Europe. During the 1970s the patriotic movement in Britain coined the phrase: “Stop Immigration – Start Repatriation”. This sentiment struck a cord with the vast majority of the British people, but alas the patriotic parties advocating such a policy were not able to make any political headway, mainly because they were infiltrated by neo-fascist (and in some cases even unbelievably pro-Islamic!) elements. Now however a new generation of far more acceptable patriotic parties have sprung up, not only in Britain but across Europe. Let the same battle-cry be sounded again therefore: STOP IMMIGRATION – START REPATRIATION!

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS
The Patriotic Forum staged an extremely enlightening Zoom meeting last moth which was addressed by Mr. Bob Vinnicombe from Sydney, Australia, a leading member of the Australian One Nation Party. In his highly informative talk Mr. Vinnicombe detailed facts concerning four major matters of current global concern, namely 1) the Wuhan Virus lockdown scam in which civil liberties have been trashed by authoritarian Leftist Governments with their own agendas, 2) the threat from Communist China, 3) the climate change scam, and 4) the loss of free speech and the ability of free discussion due to the overwhelming bias of the media and laws that inhibit free speech
----------------------------
The Patriotic Forum is planning to stage a further Zoom meeting featuring a prominent personality during the final week in December, and needless to say full details will be circulated to all members and supporters as soon as finalised. In late January 2022 the Patriotic Forum will be holding an event in London to celebrate both Burns Night and Australia Day, and in early February will be holding another Zoom meeting to be addressed by a New Zealand patriot in order to mark New Zealand Day. Further information about both these events will be detailed in next month’s SCN.

MESSAGE FROM ANIMAL SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL
We have recently received the following most harrowing message from the Animal Survival International organisation, which illustrates clearly the lack of acceptable wildlife protection standards in Zimbabwe :-
“A baby elephant in Zimbabwe’s Kariba region urgently needs your help - and the clock is ticking fast! The Zimbabwe National Parks Authority has been alerted to a baby elephant with a wire snare wound tightly around the top of his leg. Now, together with the Kariba Animal Welfare Fund Trust (KAWFT), we are working as quickly as possible to help arrange the logistics, specialized equipment and personnel for an emergency rescue operation.
“We are in a race against time to save a baby elephant’s life!
“Every step he takes is tightening the device and putting him in greater danger of death. We must urgently raise sufficient funds to charter a helicopter and buy medical supplies to dart the baby elephant and remove the snare before it’s too late. The wound is already dangerously swollen, and vets fear his time is running out!
“The team at KAWFT saw this baby elephant just five days ago, with no sign of a snare. That means the damage is worsening dangerously fast, and he will soon lose the use of his leg. It is critical that we relieve the swelling and return blood-flow to the leg as soon as possible. It will be a dangerous rescue operation, but we are committed to saving this baby elephant!
“This elephant herd is well known by KAWFT, and the baby elephant’s mother is dangerously unpredictable. We anticipate that she will fiercely protect her baby from humans. An expert team of Zimbabwe National Park rangers, veterinarians and a highly trained pilot will need to execute the rescue with military precision and the highest level of care.
“The adult elephants are already on edge because the calf is struggling. But they will need to be kept a safe distance away from the team of veterinarians and the injured calf once he is successfully darted from the air.
“The team on the ground is busy preparing so they can be ready to mobilize at a moment’s notice. Another team of rangers are keeping as close as possible to the calf, while the veterinarians, who are donating their time and expertise to save the life of this baby elephant, are standing by.
“All that remains is to secure the helicopter and to purchase the immobilization drugs and medical supplies to dart and treat the injured calf.
“This baby elephant is an example of exactly why Animal Survival International is so committed to ending the use of snares! Snares are horrific devices that torture and kill animals indiscriminately. No animal is safe from their cruelty. This calf is the second baby elephant from the same mother who has been snared. Animal Survival International cannot stand by and let this baby elephant suffer and die because of a snare.
“Snares function like a noose - tightening with pressure! The wire where the snare was anchored to a bush or tree is now catching under his foot with each step, causing it to become tighter and tighter. We cannot imagine the pain and stress this little elephant is experiencing.”

SOLIDARITY WITH YORKSHIRE C.C.C. STAFF
In the editorial of last month’s SCN we highlighted the unacceptable actions of the Pakistani cricketer Azeem Rafiq who had made a number of unsubstantiated claims of “racist abuse” against his former fellow-players and coaching staff members at Yorkshire CCC. We went on, however, to state that if there was any hope emerging from this whole unfortunate incident then it was an open letter which had been sent by a delegation of Yorkshire CCC staff members to their county board in which they pulled no punches in condemning the club’s failure to stand up to Rafiq’s “one man mission to bring down the club”.
Since then there have been a number of extremely significant developments in this whole unbelievable saga. Most important perhaps has been the revelation that Rafiq himself had sent a number of highly offensive anti-Semitic text messages in the past, which can only mean that rather than being nicknamed “Raffer the kaffir” he should perhaps more accurately have been referred to as “Rafiq the hypocrite”!
Most disturbing however is the recent news that the new “politically correct” Yorkshire CCC board have sacked 16 members of their coaching staff, including Director of Cricket Martyn Moxon and Head Coach Andrew Gale – apparently in retaliation to the open letter which they had sent. This highly controversial action has been met with immediate moves to initiate legal actions against the new county board and its “parachuted in” chairman Patel. More encouragingly however has been the threat by most of the county’s current players to refuse to play for the county until the sacked staff members are re-instated.
We can only wish all the coaching staff members every success in their legal actions, and congratulate all those players who’ve had the backbone to support their coaching colleagues in their struggle to save their county. We also hope that all those other past and present Yorkshire players who have been smeared by unsubstantiated claims by Rafiq will be able to initiate a joint legal action against Rafiq for slander, and that as a result both the trouble-making Rafiq himself and the wretched Patel will disappear entirely from the scene, so that Yorkshire can get on with doing what they do best – play Cricket!

THE DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OF AVON
The recent sad death of Clarissa, the Countess of Avon – an outstanding woman herself – has reminded us of what an outstanding person and patriot her husband, Sir Anthony Eden (later the Earl of Avon), was.
Sir Anthony Eden (as he then was) proved a superb Foreign Secretary, particularly when it is recalled what a difficult period he held office during, prior to and during WW2 and during the start of the Cold War, a success which was helped substantially by the fact that he was a skilled linguist. It has often been observed that he ascended to the Premiership far too late, and there is probably must truth in this observation. He was however a true Conservative and a highly popular politician, as confirmed by the massively increased majority which he obtained at the 1955 General Election.
He will always be mainly remembered for his actions during the Suez Crisis of 1956 however, when after the Egyptian tyrant Nasser illegally seized the Canal he was prepared to take military action in order to regain control. For this of course he must be highly praised, for if the Suez operation had been allowed to be concluded successfully then undoubtedly subsequent Islamic tyrants and terrorists such as Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden etc. would not have arisen. Alas however traitors in Britain – not only the predictable socialist Labour politicians but also more sickeningly fifth-columnists “Cinos” (“Conservatives in Name Only”) within the Conservative Party, most notably Harold MacMillan - sabotaged Eden’s patriotic efforts.
Alas failing health caused Eden to lose the courage to carry on the operation to its necessary conclusion, and as a result not only did Britain’s post-WW2 decline accelerate, but it also gave Islamic extremism the “green light” to re-invigorate its centuries-old war against the West. Tragically it also enabled the “Cinos” to gain full control within the Conservative Party, which was to last for the next two decades, and which has now sadly resumed again. Britain – and the Conservative Party – therefore needs another Sir Anthony Eden to emerge again!

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.277 - Mr. J.S. KNOESEN of East London, Cape Province.
Although we never met Mr. J.S.Knoesen personally, he became a subscriber to the original S.A.Patriot during the mid-1980s, and subsequently became a good friend of the magazine, also ordering copies of overseas patriotic publications which the magazine marketed via its Patriotic Press Periodicals arm. Alas the latest edition of The Imperial Patriot which was sent to Mr.Knoesen has been returned as he is evidently no longer known at his last known address. We wonder therefore whether anyone can inform us where he can now be contacted?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SOCK IT TO THEM
Sir,
The ANC have not paid the civil servants for 3 months. Hilarious! Please make donations of old socks to help them! The ANC are now having crowd-funding events begging for money.
Yours etc.,

----------------------------
LET’S GO ROGER!
Sir,
The term “Let’s Go Brandon” arose from a recent NASCAR race meeting. One of the winners, whose christian name was Brandon, was being interviewed by a NBC reporter .The crowd behind her was chanting “F*ck Joe Biden” but she claimed that they were actually saying “Let’s Go Brandon”. Many people, including me, think that she didn’t dare to report what they were actually saying. The rest is history.
Yours etc.,
Roger Alsop, Islington, London, U.K.

NATIONAL DISGRACE
Sir,
What a traitor F.W. de Klerk was. Why didn’t he apologise to the White farmers posthumously.

REMEMBERING DAVE TAYLOR
Durban-born Dave Taylor was a great though unfortunately mainly unheralded South African patriot. Originally a keen member of the United Party, he fought and won a seat on Durban City Council representing the Stamford Hill Ward in 1976, though standing as an independent, as of course did most council candidates in those days.
He soon proved himself to be a popular and dynamic councillor who fought tirelessly for the interests of his White lower-middle-class electors. He also proved to be a constant thorn in the side of the Leftist council faction as they attempted to integrate more and more council facilities. During his period as a councillor he became increasingly alarmed at the Leftward drift of the United Party, and when they metamorphosised into the New Republic Party he rejected the new party and joined John Vorster’s ruling National Party. So impressed had they become by his energetic record on Council that the NP selected him as their candidate for the Durban Central Constituency at the 1977 General Election. This constituency had of course been a UP/NRP stronghold for over half a century, and it is therefore a testimony to Dave Taylor’s personal popularity that he came very close to winning the seat.
As a result of Dave Taylor’s political move the daggers came out for him both from his old NRP colleagues and from the ultra-Leftist PFP. They threw all the money at their disposal into trying to unseat him at the 1980 Durban Council elections, which unfortunately they were able to achieve. He then tried to re-enter Council for the Point Ward in the 1982 round of elections, and then during the mid-1980s (by which time he had clearly identified himself with the Conservative Party) for the Woodlands/Montclair Ward, though sadly he was unsuccessful on both occasions.
During the early 1980s Dave Taylor became a keen supporter of the White Rhino Club (Mk.1) during its brief existence, and as a result of this became a good friend of the original S.A.Patriot magazine, which gave him strong support in both editions Nos. 3 and 14.
Tragically, however, shortly after receiving this support he was hoodwinked into associating with the notorious Brendan Willmer and his factional “Civic Action League”, and indeed rented them an room in his business premises as an office for a peppercorn rent. It didn’t take him and his fellow former Durban City Councillor Cornelius Koekemoer long to realise their mistakes however, and once they learnt (or more accurately were reminded of!) their mistakes in associating with this phony outfit they quickly cut all links. For Dave Taylor however this presented a difficult problem for his legal rental arrangement with the Willmerite “Civic Action League” meant that he couldn’t evict them, and so the bizarre situation arose where the Willmerites were spreading vile malicious rumours smearing him from his own premises!
Dave Taylor was always a staunch South African patriot, and he became increasingly depressed by what was happening to his beloved country. He was a happily married man whose wife was clearly several years older then him, and they had a fine daughter who was only in her teenage years when the NP’s sellout of the country became obvious during the late 1980s. By all accounts Dave Taylor died during the early 1990s, and although the official cause of his death on his death certificate may have stated something different, it is clear that he really died of a broken heart at the demise of his beloved country. He deserves to be remembered fondly for all he did to try to save it however.
