SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

November 2020 edition

Although the international media would have everyone believe that Joe Biden has definitely been elected as the next President of the United States, and that President Donald Trump’s refusal to concede defeat is nonsensical, reports which we have been receiving from many people based in the US paint a very different picture. These reports, we hasten to add, have been both numerous and have come from several independent sources, and have emanated both from social media and via personal e-mails.

It seems crystal clear that many irregularities took place in both the casting and the counting of postal votes in this year’s US Presidential Election, particularly in several of the key states. Reports have been made, backed-up by sworn testimonies, of boxes of postal votes turning up mysteriously and late, all containing votes for the Biden/Kamala Harris ticket, votes being registered for dead and non-existent people, and of GOP vote observers not being allowed to witness the count of postal ballots taking place. If such reports only involved small numbers of votes, or if these irregularities only occurred in a single or a couple of states then it would not be a matter of serious concern – but if claims are to be believed these cases of vote-rigging were both massive and systematic. Quite clearly something stinks here, and until full investigations and court decisions take place then the result of the election should not be called.

But 2020 was not the first case of a US Presidential Election being rigged. In 1960 JFK only won by 84 electoral college votes, but it was subsequently acknowledged that the votes in two states which were controlled by powerful Donkey Party big-wigs, Illinois (with its then 27 electoral college votes) where Dick Daley, the Chicago “big city boss”, had overwhelming influence over the electoral process, and Texas (with its then 24 electoral college votes) where Kennedy’s Veep running-mate, Lyndon Johnson, had almost complete control over the state’s administration. If both states had been declared for the Nixon/Lodge ticket, as in reality was almost certainly the case, then Richard Nixon would have been the 35th rather than the 37th POTUS. Alas Nixon proved to be not so much “Tricky Dickie” as “cowardly Dickie”, and didn’t possess the backbone to challenge the rigged votes. As a result not only was the US subjected to eight years of Kennedy/Johnson liberal social policies, but the example of how easy it was to rig a Presidential Election served as an awful precedent for a similar Donkey Party steal 60 years later. It is of course also interesting to note that the Donkey Party candidates at both these controversial elections were devout Roman Catholics with strong Irish nationalist backgrounds, who harboured extreme anti-British sentiments.

It is surely important that not only should the US electoral process be free and fair, but that it should be seen to be free and fair – and that most certainly is not the case at present. At the time of writing the State of Georgia has already announced that there will be a full re-count after the astonishing result there, and the bare minimum which should be demanded is that similar re-counts should take place in all the states where the result was close and there have been substantiated claims of irregularities. In those states where the most damning accusations of vote riggings have been made then all postal votes should be examined to confirm their validity, and if this proves to be impossible then a complete re-run of that state’s election should take place, with no postal votes being allowed except in the most exceptional and authentic cases.

There are those of course who argue that the stipulations of the US constitution state that the dates for Electoral College voting and the Presidential Inauguration are “set in stone”, and that there therefore isn’t time to stage any re-runs – but this is not the case. Up until 1933 the dates of the Electoral College votes were chosen independently each electoral cycle, and the Presidential Inauguration took place on 4th March (or the day after) every time. It was only in 1937 that the date was pushed forward to 20th January (or the day after). There is therefore nothing unacceptable in pushing the Presidential Inauguration back again until 4th March so that the necessary re-runs can take place. If the US authorities fail to do this and allow the controversial Biden/Kamala Harris ticket to take office following an election result which substantial numbers of people are convinced was fraudulent, then the United States would become the laughing stock of the Western World, and respect for the US worldwide would diminish substantially accordingly.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

Alas, the continuing “lockdown” lunacy in the UK has meant that the Springbok Club was not able to celebrate UDI Day as usual this year, although several individual members managed to celebrate this important date in their own way.

Provisional plans are however being taken to celebrate the Day of the Vow in London during December, though this alas still depends upon all the draconian “lockdown” regulations being lifted by then. The Springbok Club is furthermore already working on an exciting itinerary of events for 2021.

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

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS

Needless to say the ongoing “lockdown” nonsense has also continued to hamper Patriotic Forum activities. It is still hoped that an on-line Zoom event can be organised before the end of the year however, and an impressive line-up of potential guest speakers has already been assembled for 2021.

REPORT FROM THE NETWORK FOR ANIMALS

We have recently received the following most disturbing report from the Network for Animals organisation, which reads as follows :-

“In the dangerous slums of Mitchells Plain, South Africa (Cape Town), poverty and desperation are part of the daily fabric of life. But now with fear of COVID-19 added to the mix, havoc reigns – and animals are suffering more than ever. We (they!) need your help today!

”What we are about to tell you is so horrific that it is difficult to write these words. THEY ARE BURYING DOGS ALIVE!

“Our team was alerted by South Africa’s Animal Welfare Society (AWS) to this appalling evil. It's heartbreaking, but it seems some people are taking their corona lockdown frustration out on street dogs, and that some individuals find it easier to bury a dog alive then get the poor creature proper care. It may sound incredible, but we deal with things like this every day.

“In one case, a brindle pit-bull had its back deliberately broken and was then buried alive. The dog, who we named Rex, was waist-deep in sand, crying out in fear and pain as he tried and failed to free himself.

“The team carefully dug Rex out and noticed the dog was unable to stand. Rex was given emergency medical treatment, but his spine was completely severed. Sadly, Rex's life could not be saved, and he had to be peacefully put to sleep. AWS has opened a case of animal cruelty and an investigation is underway.

“But this is not an isolated case - every time we go into the poor shanty towns of South Africa, we are inundated with sick, injured and hungry street dogs. Not all the dogs are victims of such extreme cruelty as Rex was, but beatings, kicking and casual cruelty are common.

”Plus, the dogs are hungry - many free services have closed down because of the crashing economy caused by COVID-19.

”The demands on our team are almost overwhelming. Only with the help of animal lovers can we step up and deal with this appalling suffering.

“Sadly, we could not save Rex, but we save others every day. As you read this, street dogs are being helped by our team - they are getting food, they are being rescued and we are providing them with emergency medical care.

“With your help, we will intensify our efforts in the slum areas and stop cruelty in its tracks. We can do it, but we need your help to do so. Any small amount you donate will go towards rescue missions for abused dogs, food and medicine.

“For the animals,

“Brian and Gloria Davies (and Max and Flora!) – Founders, Network for Animals”

HOISTED BY HIS OWN PETARD!

On 9th November Greg Clarke resigned as Chairman of the Football Association following controversy over certain remarks which he made to the Parliamentary Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee. The remarks which were objected to, apparently by other FA officials, all seemed to be totally innocuous however, and included 1) referring to “Coloured footballers” (for those ignoramuses who are unaware the term “Coloured” is the grammatically correct term for a person of mixed White and Negro blood, and so as a high proportion of foreign soccer players currently playing in the English game do have mixed White and Negro blood Clarke was therefore quite correct in making this observation), 2) saying that South Asians and “Afro-Caribbean people” have “different career interests” (what’s wrong in that?) and 3) stating that being homosexual was a life-choice (isn’t this true?).

Before we start to feel too sorry for Greg Clarke however, let us remember that it was under his watch that some of the most diabolical manifestations of leftist “political correctness” were imposed upon English Association Football. The most disgusting example of this was of course the insistence that all Premier League players bear the highly objectionable “Black Lives Matter” slogan of the US Marxist rioters and looters on the backs of their shirts. Clarke’s term of office also involved a period when it seemed to be the intention of English FA management to select as many non-English players to play for the England national teams as possible. All that has happened now is that Clarke has been hoisted by his own “politically correct” petard. He deserves no sympathy whatsoever.

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

LATEST SOUTH AFRICAN NEWS

The leader of the Democratic Alliance in “Gauteng” (the Pretoria, Witwatersrand, Vaal Triangle area) John Moodey dramatically resigned his post recently, claiming that the current dominant faction within the party was trying to create another apartheid regime. If true then many South Africans of all races would of course rejoice, but it is worth remembering that the Democratic Alliance was formed by a merger between the ultra-Leftist Progressive Federal Party and the sell-out National Party – the former being fanatically opposed to the policy of separate development (apartheid) and the latter which abolished this policy! Moodey’s claim is therefore bizarre in the extreme, but simply seems to confirm that the “new” South Africa has now descended from chaos and disaster into total farce.

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

DID THE QUEEN WEAR A FLAME-LILY BROACH?

A number of our supporters have informed us that they seemed to observe that HM The Queen was wearing a broach to attach her poppies on Remembrance Sunday this year which bore the Rhodesian Flame-Lily design. Was this just a chance selection by Her Majesty’s dresser who was unaware of the significance we wonder, or was Her Majesty trying to send a subliminal message? Her own Mother was of course a strong though circumspect supporter of the Hon. Ian Douglas Smith and the Rhodesian cause, so has Her Majesty late in life come to realise that it was her Mother rather than her political advisors who was right? Alas we will probably never know.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.264 – Ms. JO KINDER of Cincinnati

Jo Kinder from Cincinnati in Ohio used to edit a publication entitled Copperhead Update (named after those Northerners who supported the Confederate cause during the First American Civil War). She also made good and supportive contact with our movement during the final days when we were still based in South Africa, and indeed maintained friendly and mutually beneficial contact with us for the following decade or so. Unfortunately her copy of the latest edition of The Imperial Patriot which was sent to her has been returned as she is evidently no longer known at her last known address. If anyone can inform us where she can now be contacted then we would of course be most grateful.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

HASTA LA VISTA

Sir,

Andrew Hastie MP is good, one of the very few Liberal Party politicians who will say what he believes. Most of them, as you know, just mouth the party line and are a waste of space. I can vouch for Andrew Hastie – an ex military man who served in Afghanistan.

Yours etc.,

Reg A.Watson, Lindisfarne, Tasmania, Australia..

WHITE RUSSIANS

Sir,

Well said in the editorial of your September Edition! Last year I taught a charming and intelligent girl with a Scottish dad and a Belarus mum. Lukashenko is better than any 'maidan' alternative (like the crooks Biden and Obama foisted on Ukraine by way of a manufactured coup). The lunatics in the NATO West seem to want to push Russia into war by constant moves against her borders. They hate Putin for not pushing the homosexual anti-family and anti-Christian agenda. The mask lunacy continues and our economy will be destroyed. Who benefits? Gates, Bezos, et al? Very sad. Shame we don't have a Maggie to give them what's for.

Yours etc.,

WE FOUND A WITCH!

Sir,

I’ve just spotted your July edition and your request for information about Deborah “Debbie” Toms. I’m afraid I have some bad news for you.

I believe that you knew Debbie Toms when she and the rest of her family, as well as me, were heavily involved with the Save Rhodesia Campaign during the late 1970s. Although I don’t know where she is now, I’m afraid that by the early 1980s she had become involved with a really nasty crowd of druggies, homosexuals – and yes, satanists.

Apparently she was introduced to this crowd by a woman who she worked with at Isaacs Geshin, whose brother was the leading presence of this set-up. I never knew her real name, but she was always known as “Pinocchio” because of her long pointed nose. She looked like a witch, and probably was a witch!

Yours etc.,

“Save Rhodesia”, Durban, Natal, South Africa.

DEATH WISH

Sir,

White people are still being killed due to the colour of the skin

https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/murder-accused-domestic-worker-given-fridge-after-death-of-ocean-basket-owner-and-mother-20200922

THE “NEW” SOUTH AFRICA AS IT REALLY IS

Sir,

A couple of days ago I came across a video entitled ‘Australian Patriot Warns of Planned Genocide in South Africa’ (https://youtu.be/PehxRBI4_bA). It was dated two weeks ago and warned that there was soon going to be mass murder and genocide of the Whites in South Africa. All communication would be cut including the Internet, meaning that victims would be unable to summon help - if there was any, knowing how corrupt and useless the Police are. My friend Patrick who runs a charity, Farmers Aid tells me that the savages will be going through the Provinces and that they are starting to ‘’clean up’ the Free State first. It’s an utterly horrific scenario.

I have forwarded the video with a covering email to the mainstream media here (6 newspapers plus the BBC Newsdesk). I have also sent it to the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo and to Dan Crenshaw an aide to Donald Trump. I’m not holding out any hopes of success but I cannot just sit and do nothing.

Patrick also sent me a photograph and details of a farm attack which I was able to post on Facebook. I’m hoping that he will send more. They come from News24 - I was subscribed to it at one time but somehow my subscription lapsed. I must try to put that right.

I shall continue to do everything in my power to make the world aware of what is happening in South Africa

Yours etc.,

Jane Webster, Bath, Somerset, U.K...

OBITUARY

JOHN “J.J.” WILLIAMS

It was with much sadness that we learnt of the recent death of John James Williams – known universally simply as “J.J.Williams” - at the age of only 72.

J.J.Williams was born near Maesteg and excelled at school, particularly in sports. He first competed internationally at Athletics, representing Wales in all the sprint events at the 1970 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. But it was in Rugby Union that he found his international fame.

He first played for Bridgend, before moving to Llanelli in order to be with the legendry coach Carwyn James. Almost immediately after this move he came to the notice of the Welsh selectors and won his first international cap in 1973. From then onwards his rise was meteoric. Because of his electric speed he proved a natural wing three-quarter, but was also renowned for chipping the ball over oncoming opponents to avoid being tackled, then collecting the ball to score uncontested tries. He played a total of 30 internationals for Wales – which included participating in four Five Nations triumphs and two Grand Slam titles – scoring 12 tries. He was also selected for the famous 1974 British Lions Tour of South Africa, where he played in all four Tests and scored four tries, and for the 1977 British Lions Tour of New Zealand where he played in three Tests.

It should be remembered that at the time of the 1974 British Lions tour South Africa still enjoyed civilised rule, and as a result all players were subjected to severe intimidation and pressure by Left-wing subversives to withdraw from the tour, this being particularly the case in south Wales with its unfortunate tradition of depressive socialism. In the end only one played refused to go on the tour, with the overwhelming majority of Welsh players, including J.J.Williams, bravely defying the Left-wing threats. As a result of this happy and successful tour most players formed lasting friendships with many of their South African kith and kin who they both met and played against, and this was evidently particularly the case with J.J.Williams.

After retirement J.J.Williams showed his rejection of socialism in another way, for he became a highly successful entrepreneur. He founded his own commercial and industrial painting company, and with a group of other former Welsh internationals formed a consortium who took a stake in the Millennium (now Principality) Stadium in Cardiff. All of J.J.Williams’s three children happily inherited his own sporting genes, with all of them representing Wales at various Athletic events, and one, Rhys Williams, going on to represent Great Britain where inter alia he won the Gold Medal in the 400 Meters Hurdles at the 2012 European Championships.

J.J.Williams was a great Welshman and a Great Briton, whose memory will live on to inspire other British sports men and women for generations to come. Our sincere condolences are expressed to all members of his great family.

October 2020 Edition.

SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

October 2020 edition

On 5th October, after returning to the White House fit and fully recovered following barely two days in hospital, and only four days after being tested positive for Covid-19 (Wuhan Flu), President Donald J. Trump told the world “Don’t be afraid of Covid”. In a subsequent tweet he stated: “Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the vaccine, die from the Flu. Are we going to close down our country? No, we have learned to live with it just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!”. Surely there have been no more sensible comments made by a world leader since all the Covid-19 hysteria began. Rarely has a more statesmanlike statement been uttered.

After making these enlightened comments President Trump stood on the White House balcony and nonchalantly removed his facemask, folded it, and placed it in his pocket. This poignant image has already achieved iconic status, and is destined to become an enduring vision of these current sorry times in years to come, inspiring all those who actively oppose the present draconian restrictions of our right and liberties. Our one criticism of President Trump in this regard is that we believe he should have taken the stupid object onto the White House lawn and ceremoniously burnt it – encouraging all about him to do likewise!

But it is not only for not over-reacting to all the Wuhan Flu paranoia that President Trump must be praised. A rarity among politicians, he has lived up to his campaign pledges, and has certainly started to make America great again. He has ensured the building of an effective wall across the Mexican border, he has presided over an upturn in the US economy, thus creating more jobs, and perhaps most importantly of all he took decisive action against the “enemy within” by deploying the National Guard to confront the Marxist insurrectionists who have organised co-ordinated riots and lootings across the country. To be sure, President Trump’s record has not been perfect, particularly as we have commentated about previously by not deploying US forces sufficiently in Syria in order to end that country’s civil war and thereby to stop the swarm of unwanted refugees entering Europe. He also dismissed a number of the most able members of his administration for seemingly no reason, most regrettably John Bolton, and furthermore made some most unacceptable comments about the late, great Senator John McCain of Arizona, which has made him many unnecessary enemies – but overall President Trumps record has been exemplary, and he will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.

Compare this to the alternative. Joe Biden is of Irish Republican Roman Catholic ancestry, and as a result seems to be sympathetic towards the SF/IRA terrorists. Not surprisingly he thereby tends to be fanatically anti-British, which is confirmed by his recent assertion that he would not accept any trade agreement with the post-Brexit UK. Far-Left though he is in his policies, he doesn’t seem to be Left-wing enough for his Veep running-mate, Kamala Harris, who has attacked him in the past for his alleged associations with conservative congressmen. Somehow the United States managed to survive both the Clinton and the Obama years, but the prospect of a Biden/Kamala Harris administration – who both obscenely showed sympathy with domestic subversives by publically “taking the knee” - is truly frightening! American voters must therefore remember that they are not only electing a President of their country, but also the leader of the Free World – and that only a continuing Trump Presidency is acceptable to patriots and freedom-lovers throughout the Western world!

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

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

The Springbok Club managed to fulfill its promise to the late and great Peter Sladden last month by maintaining the “Raising of the Flag” tradition. Unfortunately, because of all the draconian “lockdown” restrictions in force across the country, this event could only be enacted symbolically this year, and was actually more of a “flag unfurling” than a “flag raising”, but even so the important thing was that Peter Sladden’s great tradition continued. This year’s ceremony was held at Hythe on the south Kent coast – an area which was known as “Hellfire Corner” during the Battle of Britain, which as Peter Sladden served in the RAF during WW2 seemed particularly appropriate, and indeed a couple of participants at this year’s event passed by the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel-le-Ferne near Folkestone en route to Hythe!

As soon as all the “lockdown” lunacy is over the Springbok Club will of course be resuming its regular monthly activities, and full details of these with be given in future editions of the SCN.

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

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS

A leading supporter of the Patriotic Forum has recently forwarded us an excellent broadsheet entitled “You are being Lied to – Media are the Virus” which has been published by an organisation called the Patriotic Alternative. The Patriotic Forum has now made contact with this most interesting organisation and has invited them to provide a speaker for a future Patriotic Forum meeting once all the current “lockdown” nonsense is over – as indeed has the Patriotic Forum likewise approached several other Covid-sceptic and anti-lockdown organisations.

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

THE IMPERIAL PATRIOT

Thanks to the generousity of a few dedicated supporters the distribution of the latest edition (No.3/No.40) of The Imperial Patriot has now almost been completed. – and indeed the global reaction to this edition has been highly praising! In view of all the fundamental developments in the world since this issue was published it is therefore particularly important that the next edition (No.4/No.41) is published as soon as possible, and indeed the production of this issue has already started. We trust therefore that all supporters who are in a position to give will be able ro forward us financial contributions as soon as possible, our bank account details for direct bank transfers being as follows :-

REPORT FROM FAUNA AND FLORA INTERNATIONAL

We have recently received the following highly worrying report from Fauna and Flora International, which reads as follows :-

“The Tigers that nobody saved.

“Time heals most wounds. But it won’t heal this.

“100 years ago, you'd find Javan and Balinese tigers prowling the jungles of Indonesia. Over thousands of years and hundreds of generations, mother after mother taught cub after cub, until they each grew and changed to perfectly fit the islands they were born on.

“They became utterly unique - each a sub-species in its own right.

“But today, all of that is just gone.

“Humans slaughtered them. Entirely. One by one they were tracked, found, killed and skinned, all to inflate the prestige of a big-game hunter or fill the coffers of a wildlife trader. They are both now extinct - but we haven’t learned a thing.

“Because on the very next island along, with the very next sub-species of tiger, exactly the same thing is happening again.

“There are fewer than 400 Sumatran tigers left, and that number’s going down. Despite an unrelenting effort from conservation teams, there are still not enough areas protected to stop poachers seeping through and setting their deadly snares.

“The tigers themselves have no idea. They’ve not witnessed every single Javan and Balinese tiger dying. They’ve no clue about the hundreds of their kin who’ve had their legs needlessly shredded by snares before their skull was blasted by a bullet. They can't avert the slaughter they don't see coming.

“We’re their only hope.

“If we want a world with wild tigers - true tigers, free from metal cages, then we must make a stand here. We must not lose them from Sumatra. We must not share the shame of previous generations.

“Through your donations, we’re putting rangers in place. We’re training and equipping them to remove the snares and keep the poachers away. Your support is giving Sumatran tigers their only chance to be safe in the wild once more.”

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

COUNTY CRICKET UNDER ATTACK BY FOREIGNERS

Over recent weeks former Asian players from both Yorkshire CCC and Glamorgan CCC have made allegations that their previous county cricket clubs were “institutionally racist” (whatever that curious phrase means). These claims were both made by former players who clearly have “chips on their shoulders” because their contracts had not been renewed by the clubs in question, almost certainly because their playing abilities had not proved up to standard. Their allegations were further shown to be unfounded by the fact that other Asian players on the Yorkshire staff asserted that they were total nonsense.

With the advent of the franchise T20 competition in England and Wales – in which players from around the world are open for selection – we believe that the traditional county structure of cricket in England and Wales should be open for British players and players of British ethnic origin only. If Asian players wish to play first-class cricket – and indeed other sports at the highest level - then they should play in their own Asian countries.

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

ENCOURAGING LOCAL OPPOSITION TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Whilst en route to the “Raising of the Flag” event in Hythe a couple of Springbok Club members happened to meet a person on the bus who was proudly wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the slogan “British Lives Matter”. During resulting encouraging conversation it turned out that the person wearing this t-shirt was a member of a group in Folkestone who were actively monitoring and opposing the housing of illegal immigrants in the town – and were placing videos of what they found on YouTube. These videos can be accessed simply by “googling” the phrase “Frontier House Folkestone” on YouTube, and we therefore encourage all readers to try to view some of these and to add comments of support to this group where appropriate.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.263 – Mr. TONY MORKEL of Wellington, Somerset

Ex-Rhodesian Tony Morkel established his own book publishing business, Sable Publishing House, at Wellington in Somerset shortly after re-locating to the UK in 2000, and made friendly contact with our movement shortly after that – indeed he spoke at a Springbok Club meeting in November 2013 where he gave an extremely enlightening speech. Alas circular e-mails sent to him started to be returned to us a few months ago, and letters sent to both his business and personal addresses enquiring about any new e-mail address were both subsequently returned as he was evidently no longer known at either of these addresses. If anyone could let us know how he could now be contacted we would therefore be most grateful.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COWIE CORNER

Sir,

Very interesting to see reference to Imperial Road in Gillingham in last month’s SCN. Imperial Road was once home to three generations of the Cowie family. Really marvellous people; pillars of the local community and real credits to the British race.

I went to school with the son, Andy Cowie. He was splendidly talented, and produced a schoolboy newspaper called The Daily Sexpress – quite some achievement in the days before DTPs and the Internet! This got him into trouble with the school authorities because of its cheeky nature – but it was bloody funny!

Andy had three sisters, though one I believe was adopted. The eldest sister, Margaret, was the spitting image of Natalie Wood – a real stunner – who gained the seemingly inevitable nickname of Maggie “Let Me Entertain You” Cowie. I wonder what has happened to them all?

Yours etc.,

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

Sir,

I hope that you are well and still going strong. Thank you for the good work you are doing.

Vriendelike groete en mooi loop,

RHODESIAN SPIRIT

Sir,

I would like to say that I have appreciated the obituary and for your effort contacting people that my Uncle James knew.

To mention a little more about my Uncle, as his niece growing up: I found that he made the effort to talk to us when we had the chance to see him. I remember the special occasions that we were together, this including Uncle James and Aunty Anne and family. Us kids loved fudge and of course you know the Scottish are fantastic at making fudge. I, and my sisters, Elaine, Natalie and Lisel, encouraged my Dad, George, and my Uncle James to have a competition as to who would make the better fudge. It was great fun, especially licking out the fudge pot, and feeling it crumble in our mouths.

The two Dads, were great fun, challenging each other and we had loads of laughs. Of course I felt my Dad's fudge was the best, and Uncle James's kids felt their Dad's fudge was the best. To be honest they were both excellent. It was the comments and the baiter between the two brothers that was great fun to.

The quality of personality that I loved about my Uncle James was that he showed interest in us and made the effort to talk to us. You see we hardly ever saw my Dad and Uncle James and family because my Mum and Dad divorced when we was very young. However when we did see my Uncle James he showed interest and had a particularly lovely caring relationship with my sister Elaine. He adored my sister and my sister felt that he was very much a second Dad to her. He was a good, kind and generous man, who took great care of his family and was generous to others as well. He's one of those Uncles that you just don't come across these days. He cared and kept in touch with people that meant a great deal to him. He is sorely missed by many.

Yours etc.,

Jean Sives, Poole, Dorset, U.K.

VICTORIAN DISASTER

Sir,

Nn doubt you have heard about our State of Victoria, Premiered by a Marxist, Daniel Andrews. The man is quite mad; indeed, I believe he has mental problems. He has become a dictator and has locked down the whole state, which produces 25 per cent of the nation's economy. He is now planning to extend the lock down for another 12-18 months. He's enjoying the power. Parliament is not meeting as he has the power, under the circumstances, to prevent it from doing so. There are legal moves to have him removed and even to have him arrested for causing the deaths of so many in aged care because of his laxness, but he blames the people of Victoria rather than he and his useless, corrupt government. This is a real problem. It is unbelievable that this is happening in Australia. Quite frankly our State Premiers have all been proved to be wanting and our Prime Minister weak.

Andrews is hated, but his Marxist supporters and those on the Left love him, regardless of the fact he is a repulsive figure.

Yours etc.,

Reg A.Watson, Lindisfarne, Tasmania, Australia..

HONOURING A FORGOTTEN IMPERIAL HERO

Although the main purpose of the Springbok Club’s visit to Chatham in August was to pay respects at the the Royal Naval War Memorial, particularly to the memory of Sub.Lieut. Charles van der Byl (see September 2020 SCN), the organisation did however inadvertently discover much about another important historical figure during this trip. This was Thomas Waghorn, the 19th century naval hero, Imperial pioneer and entrepreneur.

A statue to Thomas Wagthorn was erected near to the Chatham Railway Station in 1888, but until recently very few people in the locality knew the name of the person who this statue commemorates, let alone his achievements. The most notable of these achievements was his mapping and establishment of an overland route between Cairo and Suez which, prior to the construction of the Suez Canal, cut the journey time between the UK and India considerably. Alas in more recent years this statue has been best known in the area for being inevitably topped by a traffic cone at New Year and during other festivities!

Thomas Waghorn had been born at a residence in Chatham High Street in 1800, and at the age of only 12, being precociously intelligent, joined the Royal Navy at Chatham Dockyard as a junior midshipman. His early RN career saw his sailing to the Indian Station, but cut-backs in naval expenditure following the end of the Napoleonic Wars meant that his RN career was stymied, and as a result he resigned his commission and joined the Bengal Pilot Service of the East India Company at Calcutta

He soon found himself enlisted for service in the First Burmese War of 1824 where he fought with great distinction, mounting a 12-pounder gun on a rocky island in the Arakan River, which was subsequently named Waghorn’s Rock in his honour. But his interests were soon focused elsewhere, specifically on the advent of steam ships and his accurate prediction that they would soon take the place of sailing ships, and the possibilities which this development would present.

He knew well the long length of time that the sea journey to India via the Cape of Good Hope took, and when once ordered to return to India at haste via Egypt he pre-empted the idea of constructing a Suez Canal by having the foresight to propose the establishing of an overland route between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. With no initial support coming from the East India Company for this visionary plan he resigned from the company’s service, and with the support of the Pasha of Egypt he put his ideas into practice. The original plan was to construct the overland route between Alexandria and Suez, but the coming of the steam ships meant that navigation down the Nile Delta became far easier, and so an even shorter overland route was then mapped and established between Cairo and Suez. Although his claim that this route would cut the journey time between the UK and India in half was an exaggeration, it did even so reduce the journey time considerably. This overland route, which entailed camel and pack-horse trains travelling between one ship at Cairo to another on the Gulf of Suez, was of course not suitable for heavy cargo, or for any but the most intrepid traveller, but it came into its own when it came to postage, particularly for important papers sent between officials in London and India!

Waghorn’s visionary plan was therefore quickly a great success – so much so that after only a few years in operation the operation was bought-out by a combination of the P.& O. steamship company and the Pasha of Egypt. By now quite a wealthy man Waghorn did not sit back on his laurels, but expanded his business, by then based in Cornhill in the City of London, to establish speedy postal services across Europe – an enterprise assisted considerably by the advent of continental railway systems.

Alas Thomas Waghorn died prematurely aged only 49 in January 1850, and is buried at All Saint’s Church in Snodland (his ancestral home). He was remembered fondly and well throughout the rest of the 19th century however, and not only was the surviving statue to him in Chatham erected, but Ferdinand de Lessops, being so impressed by his earlier achievements, had a statue of him erected at Suez when the Suez Canal was constructed. Alas, in an earlier version of the current Marxist co-ordinated vandalism of statues to our great Western historical heroes, the Egyptian tyrant and thief Nasser had this statue destroyed when he illegally seized the Suez Canal in 1956.

Although the arival of the Suez Canal meant that Thomas Waghorn and his achievements were largely ignored throughout the 20th century, as the Springbok Club discovered during its visit to Chatham in August, interest in him has recently been revived in the locality – mainly thanks to the Wetherspoon’s pub chain, who have named their Chatham outlet “The Thomas Waghorn” in his honour (with Waghorn’s statue helpfully seeming to point in the direction of the pub!) – and furthermore Wetherspoons must be greatly congratulated upon naming to many of the pubs in their chain after local historical heroes! The Springbok Club will of course continue to honour and remind people about Imperial heroes of our past such as Thomas Waghorn – and hopefully one day we will be able to witness his statue once again rising again at Suez!

September 2020 Edition.

SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

September 2020 edition

Ever since the Belarusian elections of 9th August, indeed for several weeks before that, the Belarusian nation – and more particularly it’s President Alexander Lukashenko – have been subjected to an almost unparalleled campaign of odium from the international liberal media. Given the fact that Belarus was previously regarded as having the most Stalinist regime surviving in Europe this was particularly strange, as also has been the fact that although Lukashenko’s authoritarianism doesn’t seem to have changed one iota since he came to power 26 years ago, this international Leftist condemnation has only just surfaced.

The reason for this seems to be obvious. With the semi-exceptions of Sweden and New Zealand, Belarus is the only Western country which hasn’t been prepared to kow-tow to the dictates of the international busy-body medicrats in regard to the global Covid-1984 hysteria. People are not forced to wear ridiculous face-masks in Belarus, they still enjoy freedom of association without having to “distance” from their fellow human beings, children have not been denied a continuous education, and all sporting fixtures have carried on as normal (and furthermore without any obscene acts of subservience towards Marxist rioters and insurrectionists before matches!).

There is much of course that we don’t like about Lukashenko’s administration – the apparent authoritarian nature of his regime, the evident suppression of many individual liberties, and, if true, the rigging of elections. Furthermore we would far prefer the white, red and white horizontal tricolour flag of Belarus to be re-adopted in place of the unattractive Soviet-era design. Serious though these misgivings are, however, the wider freedoms which Alexander Lukashenko has given to the Belarusian people by not forcing them to comply with the de-humanising regulations now so sinisterly being enforced is so many other places around the Western world seems far more important. We therefore wish Alexander Lukashenko every success in withstanding the international onslaught against his administration – and furthermore we hope that he might also be able to forge closer links with Putin’s Russia in order for that nation also to break free from the draconian Covid-1984 restrictions.

But there is another more important world leader who the forces of darkness are also determined to topple – namely President Donald J. Trump of the United States. Donald Trump’s tenure in office may not have been ideal so far, but he has even so provided great hope that decency and civilised values can still prevail in this troubled world. The only conceivable alternative to him, the demonic triumvirate of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi, are however too ghastly even to contemplate, and so Donald Trump’s re-election is therefore essential for the very survival of our Western Civilisation and the future of our children.

At the time of writing Donald Trump seems to be behind in the opinion polls, but he proved in 2016 that he is a determined and effective fighter who has the ability to win when “received wisdom” says the opposite. We know that all (or certainly the vast majority) of our readers from the United States will be voting for Donald Trump in November in any case, but the tragedy of South Africa during the 1980s shows that simply voting for what is right and decent isn’t sufficient. What is required is active campaigning to persuade as many other people as possible to do likewise. We therefore implore all our US readers to strain every sinew in their bodies to ensure that Donald Trump is re-elected in November.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

The Springbok Club successfully resumed activities last month following all the “lockdown” lunacy, by staging a visit to the Royal Naval War Memorial in Chatham. The main purpose of this visit was to pay respects to the memory of Sub.Lieut. Charles van der Byl, a South African submariner who was killed in 1916 whilst serving on the submarine HMS G1, and who is commemorated on the memorial. Mr.Gary Vincent, who had undertaken a tremendous amount of research into the history and structure of the memorial, gave a fascinating cameo talk on the subject, and respects were then also paid to Engine Room Artificer Arthur Grant, the grandfather of the current Chairman of the Springbok Club, who once served on the same ship that Sub.Lieut.van der Byl later served on, HMS Goliath, before being transferred to HMS Derwent which struck a mine and sank in 1917, and who is also commemorated on the memorial. Afterwards the Springbok Club party viewed several near-by sites of interest, including the inspiringly-named Imperial Road and the house where Engine Room Artificer Arthur Grant had once lived, The Springbok Club party then adjourning to a hostelry in Chatham where a highly informative PowerPoint presentation was given by Gary Vincent about the Naval career of Sub.Lieut.Charles van der Byl, and the history of the famous Cape family from which he came, which included the Hon. Pieter K. van der Byl, .the erstwhile Rhodesian Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Later this month the Springbok Club will be honouring its promise to the late Peter Sladden by maintaining the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony to mark the anniversary of the foundation of Rhodesia in 1890. Because of all the unfortunate continuing “lockdown” restrictions this will alas only be a symbolic act of commemoration this year, but will confirm to everyone our determination to maintain this important and inspiring event, and will be held this year at Hythe on the south Kent coast. The Springbok Club is also still planning to stage a meeting to be addressed by Mr. James Lockwood about the Loyal Orders, and this will now hopefully be held in October.

WORRYING NEWS FROM FAUNA & FLORA INTERNATIONAL

We’ve recently received the following most disturbing message from the Fauna & Flora International organisation. It reads as follows :

“You’ve probably seen it. A huge chunk of East Africa is choking in clouds of locusts. The human cost is going to be horrendous. Crops that people can’t afford to lose will be destroyed - and for eastern Black Rhinos, if the swarm gets much worse, it could be a hammer blow for their already battered population.

“If these locusts hit their grazing grounds - something that’s not really in our power to prevent - it could spell catastrophe. Whether through starvation, or conflict over access to pasture for livestock and wildlife, the long and short of it is that rhinos are likely to die.

“In the context of their dreadful recent history, it's patently clear that the Rhino population can’t afford to sustain any extra losses. Over disturbingly few decades, the vast majority have been shredded by poaching and there are fewer than 850 left on the planet.

“Overwhelming and unpreventable threats to Rhinos such as this locust plague are only going to increase in future, so if we keep losing them to pointless - and preventable - poaching, their kind is not going to come out the other side alive.

“It’s 2020 - the medical age of robotic surgery, wireless brain sensors and 3D-printed bones. This mindless poaching for mythical medicines made from their horns should have ended by now.

“So that’s what we’re aiming to do.

“Through your donations, we're training and equipping rangers to protect Rhino populations across East Africa. Not only that, but we're bringing local people on board to tackle the causes of poaching at grass-roots level.

“That way, we can save these mighty two-horned tanks, and make sure that they grace our natural world for generations to come.”

NEW ORDER FOR SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE RUGBY

The international chaos caused by the Covid-19 panic has meant that both major southern hemisphere Rugby Union competitions have been severely disrupted this year. The Rugby Championship (which involves national teams from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina) was completely abandoned in its original format, although plans are afoot to stage a replacement competition during November and December with all matches to be played in Australia – though significantly it seems that South Africa is highly unlikely to compete in this.

The Super Rugby competition (which involves regional sides from five participating countries: (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina and Japan) was terminated after only a few opening rounds were played - but even before this the tournament had been beset by big problems, with the Japanese team, “The SunWolves”, disbanding and rumours abounding that the competition was to be re-structured to involve only Australian and New Zealand teams. Both the Australian and New Zealand Rugby Union authorities then went ahead and staged their own very successful competitions, with the idea being mooted that their respective winners should play for a resurrected Super Rugby title. The South African authorities organised no replacement tournament however.

It would seem therefore that the Covid-19 panic has only hastened a new Rugby Union order in the southern hemisphere which was going to come into being in any case, for several suggestions for a replacement format for Super Rugby from 2021 onwards had already been tabled. Some of these suggestions involve teams from Australia and New Zealand only, whereas others also include teams from the South Pacific island nations. In none of these proposed formats do teams from South Africa feature however. This isn’t really surprising of course, given the ongoing dangers to both players and supporters who visit the lawless and disintegrating “new” South Africa. It would seem therefore that South Africa’s surprising victory in the 2019 Rugby Union World Cup was probably the “last hoorah” for Rugby in South Africa – until some form of civilised order can be restored to that beleaguered land.

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

EXPOSING THE ENEMY WITHIN

In this brilliantly analysed article by Ralph Harrison (a long-standing anti-EU activist who played a central role in the pro-Brexit campaign in East Mercia) he not only expertly exposes the evils behind the Marxist subversive “Black Lives Matter” campaign, but also delivers a devastating denouncement of all those who kow-tow to it. It is a “Call to Arms” for all patriots, so definitely warrants far wider distribution. We therefore call on all our readers to re-circulate it as much as they possibly can :-

After the 2016 EU Referendum we saw how well organised and how activist, the anti-Brexit movement was. Their demonstrations were more frequent and often bigger than those organised by the patriots. I remember arriving at Westminster tube station one day to take part in a Leave demonstration, and noticing that every single exit barrier at the station had a professionally produced "Better Off In" sticker affixed to it. That degree of advertising needs plenty of money to back it up, money that our own side often lacked. Yet, in the end, it was the ordinary voters of this country who won, and not the agitprop demonstrators and their well-financed backers. Ultimately, the question of Brexit was settled through democratic votes: in the 2016 EU Referendum, in the May 2019 Euro-election, and in a succession of general elections, culminating in the Johnson government coming to power on a pledge of "Get Brexit Done". So, for this reason, I am not frightened by the hideous spectacle of the “Black Lives Matter” protests that we have recently been witnessing in this country, because I know that ultimately they will fail in their anti-patriotic and pro-Marxist objectives. After all, it is the very same people organising these protests as organised the anti-Brexit marches - and, for all their huffing and puffing, the anti-patriots lost over Brexit, and they lost big-time!

Nevertheless, BLM's outpouring of hatred directed against White society, White authority figures, and White policemen is appallingly racist. For anti-White racism is racism, pure and simple. Nevertheless, we have witnessed disgusting acts of cowardice by some in authority, and by certain members of the police force, kneeling - like slaves - in submission to the baying mobs of Black and red Fascists. The desecration of the cenotaph and Churchill's statue so soon after the VE day commemoration - and some of it on the D-Day anniversary itself - was a calculated insult to the war dead and to our ancestors. It was obviously designed to inflame racial hatred and community tensions further, and to express a repudiation of allegiance to our nation.

What is BLM's big idea? What is their philosophy, if we can dignify it with that word? Let me sum it up for you. Basically, they are saying that the police, when they see a Black person, prejudge the situation and assume that the Black is a potential criminal. If that Black person, for whatever reason, starts acting in an aggravated or agitated way, the police, they say, over-react because they have fixed assumptions about Black crime, and so tend to act heavy-handedly in dealing with the Black population - and this, then, leads to cases such as that of George Floyd, where an unarmed Black man was killed by a White policeman, who over-reacted in carrying out an arrest. O.K., I've got it! So the Blacks are aggrieved because there is a perception among the police - and among the public - that Blacks are innately more violent and criminally inclined, and this is the root cause of the difficulties they face in their dealings with the police.

So what is BLM's response to this? They organise a month-long campaign of violence and criminality, which included shootings, arson, looting, criminal damage, and more violence towards the police. That of course can only possibly reinforce the perception of Black violence and criminality, which they say is at the root of their problems. How very stupid! Just how very, very stupid can you get? But of course, the Black protesters are acting stupidly in these protests, because the perception of Black criminality has now been consolidated by their very own protests. But their clever, White organisers, using the Blacks as revolution fodder, are laughing. Their aim has always been to exacerbate racial divisions within society so as to bring on the revolution. They do not care about the lives of ordinary people, Black or White. They would gladly sacrifice anyone - as a matter of principle - to advance the cause of the revolution, a revolution which was laid out so clearly many years ago in Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto".

The Communists are very clever up to a point. Edward Colston was a good target, from their point of view - and the toppling of his statue in Bristol was an excellent propaganda coup. Of course, there might be a perfectly good argument for saying that the statue of Edward Colston should have been removed from public display. But the right course of action for those that think that way would have been to lobby their local council and use the democratic process to get their wishes implemented. Actually, the statue is a fine piece of art (if you have seen it) and deserves a place in a museum. I have no particular drum to beat for Colston in particular. But what we have seen is simply mob rule, the police withdrawing for fear of upsetting the leftists and for fear of being called "racist", and even Conservative politicians justifying this act of anarchy. I want to live in a society where the law protects the individual law-abiding citizen, not one where it kow-tows to a mob of thugs, which is what we have now.

However, revolutions need continuous momentum. It could never stop at Colston, could it? The BLM movement, emboldened by success in getting away with destruction of property, assault, and breach of the lockdown laws, will aim for more targets. Whichever of our nation's heroes they choose to denounce they will try to topple. Have you noticed that the figures that they have condemned with particular hatred are those great British leaders who defended our nation from potential invasion and thus kept us British free from becoming slaves ourselves? The statues of Sir Francis Drake, who helped defeat the mighty Spanish Armada of king Philip, and thus preserved England from the terrors of the Inquisition and its Auto-da-Fes; of Lord Nelson, the great British naval hero of the Napoleonic Wars, who humiliated Bonaparte and frustrated his aim of creating a pan-European empire, in which the national independence of its peoples would be snuffed out for ever; and, of course, Sir Winston Churchill, who defeated the mastermind of the Nazi holocaust, and whom BLM - inanely - had the audacity to insult with the pathetic graffiti "is a racist"? No, BLM, you're the racists!

No doubt it is for the same reason that these people oppose patriotic songs. The BBC, The Guardian, and BLM have denounced that well-known song whose refrain goes, "Britons never, never, never will be slaves!" - and anti-slavery song if ever there was one - because they think it supports slavery. They haven't just lost the plot; they have, it seems, lost the use of their reason. A song written in praise of the Royal Navy which in historic times spent so much of its resources in suppressing the slave trade, some of it conducted by Black Africans and Arabs, could only be condemned as pro-slavery by a half-wit - or a liar. The same people were agitating to remove a statue by the founder of the Scouts movement, Lord Baden-Powell, until it was pointed out that Baden-Powell played an important part in the Ashanti Wars which were aimed at suppressing slavery in a part of Africa, corresponding to the north of modern-day Ghana, where Blacks slaves were being used as human sacrifices - carried out by other Blacks, of course. But I am sure BLM will not let historical facts get in the way of a good agitprop.

It is clear, that BLM are not just misguided. They are traitors, and they are anti-democratic proponents of Communist tyranny, and their hatred for those who defended Britain's freedom knows no bounds. There are only two reasons why anyone should attack Churchill's statue. Either they could be an admirer of Adolf Hitler; or they could just hate Britain and its people. BLM, you are convicted of racist hatred of the British people! - and you should be exposed for it! We patriots must resolve to defend our nation's heroes with our lives, if need be. If we allow the traitors to topple their statues, if we allow them to remove the memorials to those who died in the fight for our independence and freedom - as Carmarthen Council are currently considering with the possible removal of Sir Thomas Picton's obelisk - then our nation's independence and freedom will be imperiled. We have seen how the politicians, like frightened children bullied in the playground, kow-tow to the demands of the mob; we have seen how even the police have knelt in submission to the law-breakers and Communists. We have no police force now, we have no democratic leaders. We only have ourselves now! e, the patriots, must take this matter in hand. We shall smite the traitors, as we did in the battle for national independence from the European Union - and we shall defend our nation's honour now too, just as the exemplary heroes did in days of yore!

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.262 - Mr. A.MARSHALL of Catford.

Mr. A. Marshall (we are uncertain of his christian name, but one of our supporters believes that it is Alan) was an early subscriber to S.A.Patriot when the magazine was still based in South Africa. He was particularly impressed by the series of articles by John Jewell (see November 2014 SCN) which were published in the magazine, and indeed produced a compilation of these articles which he had printed and circulated. Alas contact was lost with him around the time that we were forced to re-locate to the UK, but in the early years of the Internet age contact with him was happily re-established. Although we never seemed to make direct contact with him, one official of the Springbok Club reported that he had turned up at one of the organisation’s meetings, though sadly without introducing himself to anyone. Earlier this year, however, copies of the SCN which were sent to him started to be returned as his e-mail address was evidently no longer recognised, and when a letter was subsequently sent to him in this regard this was also returned as he was evidently no longer known at his former Catford address. If anyone could inform us of either his current e-mail or postal addresses then we would of course be most grateful.

Sir,

May I be the first to nominate as Australian of the Year - Professor Clive Hamilton, author of “The Silent Invasion”

Wouldn’t that put the nose of the Chinese Communist Party out of joint!

PARADISE LOST

Sir,

Yes, times are rough but this pandemic has clearly brought the war, that the likes of you and I have been fighting for years, to the notice of millions. A war against Communism!

Unfortunately there are still many that are blind to this war and in many instances have joined up on the wrong side. Our sports teams and personalities have demonstrated this by "taking the knee". Absolute madness.

Yours etc.,

M.R.P., Transvaal, South Africa.

EASTERN JUNK

Sir,

Here in Australia the Federal Government told everyone to sign up to an app’ which would pick up anyone coming close to you whether they have the virus. The fed’s said it was not compulsory; However, if you did not, you would not be able to apply and do selected jobs. Now we have found it has been a total failure. There is not ONE instance where it has worked. $70 million down the drain. The only one to benefit from it is the Singapore company which manufactured it.

BETTER DAYS BECKON

Sir,

At 87 I am in desperation that the grim reaper will gather his harvests of like-minded countrymen who feel as I do that the country we knew, loved, and above all respected has possibly passed. I am overcome with shame observing MP’s, the Police, sports and other national personalities embarrassingly subjugating themselves in the race to “bend the knee”. Is this what my father walked up the beaches of Normandy for?

Add to the above the combined Corona-Virus epidemic with the rise of the Marxist “BLM” (backed by Soros the international financier) has exposed all of our political inabilities to deal with these totally foreseeable weaknesses, highlighting the urgent need for political and financial change.

Here we are, heading towards an excess of £2/3 trillion national debt, yet, on the brink of bankruptcy (and possible civil unrest) and still giving away Billions of Pounds of tax payers money (£15b in foreign aid, £1m a day to the defunct EU) all promoted by naïve liberalised misguided philanthropic career-mined MPs. Surely, the first lesson we should learn is the necessity that we have to return to becoming producers, not consumers.

Sadly, the answer to our financial woes is so simple if only we had a government with the daring to undertake the following?

Stop contributing to world organisations that give no benefit to the UK. Insist all newcomers to the UK have guaranteed employment and paid up UK medical and legal insurance. All offspring must be educated privately (each child costs £15k to educated by the state)

All companies operating in the UK with overseas call centres to UK located (by taxation or other means) creating local spending, the quickest way to regenerate home grown economies. All major construction contracts, i.e. power plants, communications, steel to be awarded to UK companies but ensuring competitive at all times.

To encourage immediate investment, reduce corporation tax to 14%; it’s not the amount tax is set at, but the amount it generates.

All national utilities, i.e. Post, Police, gas/power, BT companies etc to use vehicles only produced in the UK - just following French and German polices. Railways on a John Lewis basis of all employees being partners coupled with a “no strike” agreement - already proved on the North Eastern Line.

Most importantly the Green Parties energy wasting policies must be exposed, Turbines, the financial and energy costs are never fully recovered. Importing wooden pellets all the way from Canada, gas from fracking from Russia that can be turned off at any time. Energy from UK fracking would transform our economy in just a short five years benefitting us all but stopped on spurious reasons from the Green Party of earthquakes based on 2.5 scale rather than the world accepted official Richter Scale of 4.5. They are however happy to import fracking energy conveniently the energy used in transporting here.

Think on this, unless we immediately take ruthless financial and political steps, we will be condemning our grandchildren to penury and probably subservience to the ethnics from those very nations we are being so generous to now.

I appreciate the above is small business economics, but banking and government is far to important to be left to bankers and politicians. Its time for back-to-basics, local government and fair taxation!

THE “WHITE RHINO CLUB” (Mk 1) – WHAT WENT WRONG?

We are still occasionally asked whatever happened to the original White Rhino Club, the Durban-based patriotic activist organisation. The saga of its brief history is alas very sad, and in a way quite disturbing, but although this was briefly covered in S.A.Patriot No.27 .it is thought that now is probably a good time to explain what went wrong in greater detail.

The White Rhino Club was founded by a merger between the Voters’ Policy Association (VPA) and the Sherwood Action Committee (SAC). The VPA had been formed earlier by a merger between a number of conservative Durban groupings and branches of national patriotic organisations. The leading official in the VPA had been Patrick Kenney (see November 1998 SCN) who had earlier published a series of pamphlets entitled Attack/Aanval! which had galvanised opposition to various racial-integration proposals in the city. The SAC had however been a single-issue organisation, fighting against the proposed re-proclamation of the White Durban suburb of Sherwood as an Indian Group Area – a struggle in which they achieved total victory! Most, if not all, involved were also members or supporters of Ivor Benson’s National Forum (see August 2014 SCN), but were looking for a movement more active than the mere “talk-shop” which this organisation tended to be.

The newly merged organisation held a foundation gathering on 8th January 1980, which was attended by 13 people, all of whom were then co-opted onto the committee. The number of 13 may well have been an unlucky omen for the new grouping however, for almost immediately it was beset by set-backs. Patrick Kenney was not able to take any active role as expected as he had been victimised at work because of his patriotic activism, and wanted to establish himself in a new job before resuming active participation. Other leading members of the VPA alas also declined to become involved for various reasons, but the biggest disaster occurred shortly before the second committee meeting was due to take place when Bill Griffiths – who had been chairman of the SAC and had been appointed to a similar role in the merged organisation - unexpectedly died. In his honour the new body was named after his suggestion, the White Rhino Club (WRC), even though several members thought this title rather cranky.

In his place Bryan Hurt was then appointed chairman. Bryan Hurt was a talented artisan and a successful businessman who ran his own roofing company, but alas he had no academic skills and would admit himself that he was not a natural chairman. His wife Lynn Hurt (aka Lynn Howe), who ran her own ladder-hiring business, acted as the WRC’s secretary, but the real power in the organisation lay with Michiel Falck, an organisational and administrative genius, who was both the de facto chairman and organiser, as well as fulfilling practically every other role which was needed!

By the time of the next committee meeting two most encouraging developments for the WRC had occurred. Firstly Ian Long, who ran his own highly successful printing company, Lithotone, produced a superb array of professionally printed material for the WRC – recruitment forms, membership cards, constitutions and policy documents etc.. This material was subsequently widely circulated to like-minded patriotic movements around the Western World, thus creating the global impression that the WRC was actually a far larger and better-established organisation than it actually was. The second important development was that it was agreed to found a WRC magazine, which eventually came to fruition in the form of S.A.Patriot, which of course metamorphosised into S.A.Patriot-in-Exile and then into today’s The Imperial Patriot. The WRC had one big problem with the launch of this new magazine however – there was no obvious candidate for editor: Michiel Falck couldn’t become editor because he held a prominent position at the University of Durban-Westville, Bryan Hurt didn’t have the ability, this present writer was still slating for his South African citizenship, and Ian Long and others couldn’t because of business and/or employment commitments. In the end a young newly-arrived Ulster immigrant by the name of John Hiddleston was offered and accepted the post, though this alas proved to be a disaster – but this is another story!

Problems for the WRC then started to escalate. At the following committee meeting the National Forum member Louis Onody – a Hungarian refugee whose family had fled the Communist regime – turned up and astonishingly announced that he was resigning from the organisation. He gave no specific reason for this, though Lynn Hurt told everyone afterwards that she thought that this was because Onody, being a devout Roman Catholic, had been instructed by his priest to leave “that horrible right-wing organisation”! This was then followed by this present writer being confronted by Ken Lawson, a personal friend of the Hurts who hadn’t previously been involved with any of the component organisations, and bizarrely accused of trying to seduce his girl-friend! There was of course no truth in this deranged accusation whatsoever, but it seemed to be “par for the course” for Lawson, as he had previously exhibited irrational antipathies towards other members, and was constantly negative and defeatist in all his contributions to discussions! (Incidentally, as Lawson’s girl-friend was of German origin though with a dusky-skinned appearance which suggested that she actually had far more exotic ancestry, she most certainly was not the type of woman that I would ever have wished to seduce!).

Almost immediately after the first edition of S.A.Patriot was published, however, a most unexpected and indeed worrying incident occurred, for Hiddleston was contacted by the SAP Special Branch and told that he had to submit copies of the magazine to them immediately upon publication in future. As the first issue had only just been produced, and was distributed only at a committee meeting of the WRC, it was therefore obvious that the authorities had managed to place a “spy” within the organisation. There was much speculation about who this might have been – it couldn’t have been Onody as he had left the organisation before the first issue of the magazine had appeared, so suspicion then fell squarely upon Lawson. A few months later, however, after the WRC (mk 1) had collapsed, Ian Long was informed by a conservative sympathiser whose authenticity he vouched for from inside one of the security services (an avowedly anti-Communist Serb who had fled from Tito’s Yugoslavia) that the infiltrator was actually a certain Alan Richards. The previously unknown Richards had only become involved with the WRC because he had recently married the much previously-married Pam Sweet, the daughter of Reg Sweet (see April 2009 and August 2011 SCNs). Richards predictably denied the accusation and apparently threatened to sue the security services officer in question, though nothing of course ever came of this threat. Richards then disappeared completely from the conservative political scene in Durban, but towards the end of the 1980s it was reported that he had spoken on the same platform as the notorious political phony Brendan Willmer (see http://www.springbk.org.uk/BJW-CPP.htm). As Willmer was an acknowledged agent of the sell-out National Party government the accusation against Richards therefore seemed to be well founded.

Alas the first public meeting being planned by the WRC had to be cancelled (the reasons are complex and not worth going into detail about now), but at the following committee meeting, after Michiel Falck produced draft copies of membership renewal forms which he had prepared, but before discussions about them could begin, Lawson got up and declared that “We’re a failure, and we might as well give up”. This of course angered Michiel Falck greatly as he had put in such a tremendous amount of time and effort organising and running the WRC and its various anti-integration campaigns, and he announced that if this was the opinion of the whole meeting then he was resigning from all positions in the organisation with immediate effect. Bryan Hurt, having no idea about how the chair a meeting (he usually relied upon Michiel Falck for advice), was then completely flummoxed, and instead of calling for a vote on Lawson’s outrageous proposal simply closed the meeting. The date and venue for the next committee meeting was however arranged, but shortly before this was due to take place the Hurts unilaterally decided to change the date to a day earlier. This present writer could not make this revised date (I had a date that day – but not with Lawson’s girl-friend I hasten to add!), but Michiel Falck – who had only resigned from his offices, and not from the organisation as a whole – was not informed, and thus turned up a day late. This proved to be the last event which the WRC (mk1) ever arranged.

As is known, of course, although the WRC (mk1) itself collapsed less than a year after it was founded, its magazine, S.A.Patriot, continued as an independent publication – and in its re-branded form still survives to this day. Furthermore, after those of us who were forced to relocate to the UK re-launched S.A.Patriot as S.A.Patriot-in-Exile in 1991 and decided to launch an organisational wing to the magazine, it was discovered that the name “White Rhino Club” still had so much resonance amongst British patriots that they wanted this name to be used – and so the White Rhino Club (mk2) to founded – which of course after its merger with the Rhodesian Forum in 1996 became the Springbok Club, which again survives to this day!

But what of those who caused the destruction of the White Rhino Club (mk1)? Lawson, we understand, remains in the “new” South Africa, thus confirming that his membership of an organisation which wished to maintain civilised rule in the country must have been phony. Richards, however, seems to have disappeared completely, having left his wife Pam and presumably condemning her to yet another divorce. But the situation with Onody is the weirdest of the lot. We recently by chance managed to make contact with him via FaceBook, and surprisingly discovered that he too was still living in the “new” South Africa. For a person who fled the Communist regime in Hungary in order to find freedom in civilised-ruled South Africa, then to decide to remain in a crypto-Communist country when his own native Hungary had at the same time fought for and regained its freedom, is – to say the least – sickening. Naively, however, we thought that there might still be some residing patriotic sentiments remaining inside Onody, so we therefore told him what we were trying to do “in exile” via FaceBook, hoping that he might in some way be willing to give us his support. Instead we received the following laughable demented message from him, which we repeat unaltered: “Thanks for the offer. I rather give you the most effective weapon for defeating the Devil led Oligarths and that is the holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary who is appointed by God to crush the head of the serpent. That’s about it. Pray the Rosary unceasingly”!

So there we have it. Of the 13-person original WRC committee (only 12 following the death of dear old Bill Griffiths) one turned out to be an enemy infiltrator, one a paranoid trouble-maker, and one a complete nutter. They all betrayed those who they claimed they aimed to serve and support however – not so much their fellow White South Africans in Durban, but all those White patriots around the Western World who had initially been so impressed by the material which the WRC had produced and believed that the organisation was a truly dynamic and authentic patriotic movement, fighting for the future of White South Africa. The failure of the WRC (mk1) does however teach other patriots throughout the Western World an important lesson. Before establishing any new organisation all the participants should be thoroughly vetted!

August 2020 Edition.

SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

August 2020 edition

Earlier this month the renowned French philosopher, Bernard-Henri Levy, was interviewed on BBC2’s Newsnight programme about his incisive new book “The Virus in the Age of Madness”. The crux of his argument both in this book and in his interview was that the current Covid-19 crisis was not so much a “pandemic of a virus” but was rather a “pandemic of fear – a pandemic of panic”.

We of course fully agree with this analysis. As we’ve argued consistently in the SCN, the Covid-19 (or as we prefer to call it Wuhan Flu) outbreak has been used in order to induce fear, panic and compliance among the populations of the West. Both the extent and the severity of the epidemic have been greatly exaggerated, and the consequent restrictions placed upon personal liberty and freedoms have been both unnecessary and damaging. In short, the “cure” has been far worse than the disease. There have been constant mutations of the flu virus throughout history, some of which have been more virulent than the Covid-19 variant and others less so – yet never before in human history have such draconian restrictions on human rights and freedoms been imposed. Why?

One supporter who doesn’t entirely agree with our analysis of the situation has criticised us somewhat for not centring upon the place where the “pandemic” originated – China, or more specifically Wuhan in the province of Hupeh/Hubei. Initially we couldn’t care less where the virus had started as we were purely concerned about how its severity had been exaggerated so greatly and why this exaggeration had then been used to wreck the economies and the lives of citizens in so many Western societies. The words of Bernard-Henri Levy then made us think again however. Ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union China has been the epicentre of international Communism, and it was only because of the effects of the global “lockdown” lunacy that the international Marxist subversion campaign (which began in Minneapolis, then spread across the United States, and then to the entire Western world) was able to achieve such disturbing global success. Could it be that the CCP developed the Covid-19 variant virus not so much to cause a worldwide viral pandemic, but rather to cause a pandemic of fear and panic, and thereby to wreck the economies of all of China’s global competitors, and the international capitalist system as a whole? After all, it was only in Hupeh/Hubei Province that the Chinese authorities imposed a complete “lockdown” of society – and not throughout the whole of their country – and this was then used by the CCP-puppet World Health Authority as a “template” to eradicate the allegedly “deadly” disease throughout the world!

Probably the most insidious manifestation of the whole Wuhan Flu madness has been the legal requirements to wear ridiculous face-masks – which in the UK and many other Western countries has been made compulsory in both public transport and shops and stores. If we are to ignore the fact that the Covid-19 virus is nowhere near as deadly as the medicrat fanatics would have us believe, it is an indisputable fact that viruses (unlike bacteria) are microscopic single-cell organisms, and thereby so small that they pass through any material which also allows oxygen molecules to pass through to breathe. The imposition of compulsory face-mask wearing therefore has nothing to do with stopping the spread of the disease, but is control-freakery gone mad - it is a ploy to remove personal identity and to destroy individuality. In a nutshell these “Big Brother” regulations are exactly what George Orwell predicted in his prophetic novel 1984, and it is encouraging to note that many people are now referring to the virus as Covid-1984 – a term which we will also now be using in future!

But happily this latest piece of draconian insanity is not working out quite the way that the medicrat tyrants intended. Most major shops and stores have stated that it is not their duty to enforce the “law”, and many Police forces have indicated that they have better things to do than to arrest people for such a ludicrous “offence”. Furthermore the authorities have allowed many exemptions to be recognised, one simply being if the wearing of a face-mask causes “severe distress”. This seems to be a “catch all” exemption, which everyone can – and should – use. It is extremely easy to obtain an official exemption card (no specific reason has to be given); simply visit the web-site :-

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/903454/Exemption_from_face_covering_card_to_print.pdf

and then print-out the relevant page and carry it wherever you go – to produce if you’re ever confronted by any “little Hitler”. The larger the mass defiance against this evil regulation the quicker it will be shown to be unenforceable and the sooner it will consigned to the dustbin of history – and then everyone will obtain their freedom and liberty back again!

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

The Springbok Club is still planning to resume activities with a visit to the Royal Naval War Memorial in Chatham and other historical sites in the locality during late August, which will be followed by an adjournment to a near-by hostelry to take advantage of the “half-price meal” scheme. This visit will be held on Monday 24th, Tuesday 25th or Wednesday 26th August, and all Springbok Club members will be notified of the precise details once arrangements have been finalised. If anyone else would like to attend then simply send an e-mail asking for the details to: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk.

Once all the lunatic “lockdown” restrictions have been lifted the Springbok Club will be re-scheduling its planned meeting to be addressed by Mr. James Lockwood about the Loyal Orders . Fuller details will be given in a future edition of the SCN once the world returns to sanity.

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

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS

Although the Patriotic Forum hasn’t been able to function properly with regular monthly meetings and other activities ever since the draconian “lockdown” restrictions were introduced, the Patriotic Forum Circulation Service has been expanded and has been re-circulating a series of informative and incisive postings, particularly exposing the misinformation behind the Wuhan Flu/”lockdown” brain-washing and the international Marxist subversion campaign against Western Civilisation. If you would like to receive regular e-mails distributed by the PFCS e-mail: swinton@netcomuk.co.uk and ask to be added to the list.

The Patriotic Forum is also exploring the possibility of staging some on-line “Zoom” meetings shortly. More details about this possibility will be given in next month’s SCN.

ENCOURAGING NEWS FROM THE SANWILD WILDLIFE TRUST

We were of course very concerned when we heard the devastating news that the founder of the esteemed SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary, Louise Joubert, had been killed in a road accident in 2018, as we initially feared for the future of the charity. Happily we have recently received the following message from the SanWild team which announces that a new board of trustees has been appointed, and that the organisation is firmly back on the road again. We wish the new trustees and everyone else involved every success for the future :-

“SanWild has taken a lot of knocks and negative criticism over the past 18 years, but also had a lot of successes, most of them being the animals that were rescued. Most of them are still roaming freely on SanWild and have started their own families, while others have sadly passed on and some of them have been brutally murdered by poachers. Despite this and various disappointments, brand-new trustees and a group of dedicated people that share the same passion and vision, have stepped up and with the support of specialists and the local community, SanWild has been given the opportunity to be as great again as it used to be in its glory days.

“Our dream is to see the SanWild name ‘reborn’ and once again to become one of the best wildlife sanctuaries in South Africa and be home to many wild animals and their offspring for many more years to come. We have a very daunting road ahead of us and it is not going to be easy, but we need to dig our heals in and have faith that there are many honest like-minded people out there with the same passion and strong sense of conservation of nature and wildlife alike, who will support and help us to succeed. “We currently have a brand new Anti-Poaching Unit (APU) on the property which is also attending to the proper perimeter patrolling of the Sanctuary and safeguarding of the animals, as well as the day-to-day duties like feeding the lions, the upkeep of fencing and watering holes. We are however in dire need for funds to pay for the APU’s monthly, diesel and fencing materials to upgrade the lion enclosures. Expenses for the APU are R50,000.00 and diesel is around R30,000.00 per month, which at this stage are a huge expenses on its own.

“The new Trustees have been working around the clock to try and get all the admin’ up to date and getting a monthly budget in place for each department, i.e. APU, diesel, lion feed, repairs and maintenance on especially fencing, trail cameras and batteries, to mention but a few of exactly how much funds are needed to achieve success. The budget will be available on our website, so that everyone can see and understand exactly how much it costs to keep an NPO Wildlife Sanctuary running. This will be done in light of transparency, so people can see exactly where their money is going to, and also to snuff out any more allegations of mismanagement and negative perceptions.

”The Sticky Tongue Tented Camp has been beautifully revamped, but one luxury tent still needs various finishing touches. People have been offering their time and manpower, but again funds for materials are an issue. The other 5 tents are open and ready, and have twice during November and December been booked out completely. There are so many people who want to get involved to help make a difference that we are in the planning stages to bring out a ‘volunteer programme’ on all different aspects of the running of SanWild. ‘TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK’.

“It will be greatly appreciated if you are able and willing to donate towards either the APU or diesel expenses, no matter how small or big. Donations can be made via our PayPal link. Alternatively, you can just click on ‘General’ in our web-site, then the funds will be allocated to where it is needed most.

”We would love to thank each and every one that has stuck with SanWild through the good and bad times, as well as all the newcomers for your support, donations, selfless hard work and most of all believing in us!

”Kind regards ”The SanWild Team”

SPORTS PLAYERS AND OFFICIALS CONTINUE TO ACT LIKE QUISLINGS

Alas the disgusting support given to the evil international Marxist subversion campaign by certain sportsmen and women and sports administrators around the globe continues. The latest sport that has decided to kow-tow to the evil subversives has been Rugby League. When the sport resumed fixtures in England and France earlier this month the Rugby League officials ordered all players to “take the knee” – a mark of disrespect to the US National Anthem – and sickeningly all players evidently meekly complied. All, that is, except for one: Israel Folau, the Australian-born Tongan.

Folau of course had previously upset the “politically-correct brigade” by posting his opposition to sexual perversion, so he has therefore proved to be a man of great courage and strong morals, and is therefore of great credit to his Tongan ancestry. Britons will remember how the then monarch of Tonga, Queen Sálote, captivated the crowds during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1953, and as a result endeared great affection for Tonga and the Tongan people among the British people. Israel Folau’s brave and honorable actions during recent years have only added to this affection. Although still very early, we believe that there will be nobody more worthy of the BBC’s Overseas Sports Personality of the Year award this year than Israel Folau!

Israel Folau has not been the only sports personality to stand up to the evil Marxist subversives of course, but alas their numbers have been sickeningly small. Kevin Magnussen of Denmark joined the six other decent F1 drivers who refused to be associated with the repulsive action of “taking the knee”, and four English Football League clubs have also honorably refused to enact such an objectionable performance. Even though there seems – so far –to be no sign that the Rugby Union officials will insult their fans in the same way, the Exeter “Chiefs” RFC officials are to be congratulated upon refusing to comply with the bizarre request by the Marxist subversives that they change the club’s nickname!

As we reminded people last month, the kow-towing to the Marxist subversives by so many sportsmen today seems very similar to the kow-towing to the Nazi regime by the England soccer players who gave the Nazi salute prior to the international match against Germany in 1938. Most of the England players concerned subsequently issued abject apologies for their regrettable action. Hopefully it won’t be too long before those current-day idiots who meekly complied with instructions from their treacherous officials issue similar abject apologies for their disgusting actions. Only by so doing can they ever hope to regain the respect of all decent people.

As for the clubs concerned, may we remind them that the main aims of the Marxist AntiFa organisation which is behind the global subversive campaign is to disband Police forces and to destroy the Capitalist system. If they are willing to kow-tow to AntiFa then surely they should also stop engaging Police forces to patrol their matches, and to end all club, shirt, ground and competition sponsorship by Capitalist companies. To do otherwise is surely utter hypocrisy.

TWO IMPORTANT CAMPAIGNS WORTHY OF SUPPRT

Several of our supporters have informed us about two most important campaigns which we encourage all of our readers to support and re-circulate.

The first is a petition calling upon the British government to “Protect all monuments and statues from being taken down”, and can be accessed at :-

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/325814

The second is an on-line campaign to support Jake Hepple, the heroic patriot who used his initiative to organize the flying of a light aircraft towing a banner reading “White Lives Matter” over the Manchester City ground where the players and officials were displaying a disgusting show of support for the Marxist subversives. This campaign can be accessed at :-

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.261 - Mr. STáLE HENRIKSEN, Mr. JORGEN NIELSEN and Mr. TIMO SEPPALA

Several copies of the latest edition of The Imperial Patriot sent to subscribers in Europe have been returned as their postal addresses are evidently no longer recognised. We wonder therefore whether any readers can inform us where they can now be reached. The three people concerned are :-

1) Stále Henriksen of Krokstadelva in Norway 2) Jorgen Nielsen of Aalborg in Denmark 3) Timo Seppala of Hyvinkaa in Finland

In addition two copies sent to organisations have also been returned because addresses are no longer recognised, namely :-

1) Serbian Blood and Honour of Jagodina in Serbia 2) Sieg [magazine] of Lochau in Austria

We hasten to add that none of these people/organisations have any connection with each other, apart from the fact that they have all been subscribers to S.A.Patriot/The Imperial Patriot.

RECOMMENDED WEB-SITE OF THE MONTH

Perhaps the best organised and most active campaign opposing the draconian Wuhan Flu (Covid-1984) “lockdown” measures in the UK is the Keep Britain Free movement. They have initiated legal action calling for a Judicial Review of the controversial “lockdown” regulations, and have also staged massive rallies in Hyde Park, specifically to protest against the imposition of laws making the wearing of hideous face-masks compulsory in certain places (events which have ominously received little publicity in the mainstream media!). Their highly informative web-site can be accessed at :-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER

Sir,

Thank you for sending me the latest edition of the SCN. I received it on Friday.

This virus at last is going away. When all this is over this country must change for the better, the way we treat the less well off in society, the Tories’ current attitude towards us working people, and Labour’s treachery of the working class in favour of useless ethnic minorities.

We must walk away from the EU and concentrate on ties with the Commonwealth. Keep the Chinese out of the UK, re-build our manufacturing and our armed forces.

Yours etc.,

Adam Hiley, Upminster, U.K.

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

POTTY

Sir,

Well the madness continues. Making masks compulsory just as the virus is in retreat and almost eradicated! I shall stock up my freezer before 24th July to avoid going into supermarkets. Just as we want businesses to get on their feet and back to normal this will scare even more people from going out.

Yours etc.,

“Mighty Potter”, Norfolk, U.K.

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

FORCES OF DARKNESS

Sir,

Re: your comment “Blacks could not have organised such criminality on a global-scale themselves, and that other far more sinister forces have been at work” in the June edition of the SCN.

I thought the same of Mandela and the “New” South Africa.

Yours etc.,

Heinrich Koch, Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa.

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

JIM’LL FIX IT

Sir,

I have no wish to see the NHS privatised for the sake of dogma - made more efficient and less bureaucratic yes, but privatised? Privatisation is greatly over egged. It worked in some like Telecomms (although GPO ‘phone enquiries were free, now (£5!). Didn't work for railways. The whole nigger in the woodpile in this shambles has been Public Health England - £4 billion a year that shambles gets! Any, and I mean any, party proposing free market ultra-privatisation is doomed.

Also it depends on what one means by privatisation. Is Germany private? Spain? France? Or are they hybrids? The public would wear it only if they could be totally convinced it would be free at the point of delivery. Now we all know nothing is 'free', but you get my drift.

Yours etc.,

“Loyalist”, Glasgow, U.K.

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

GAME, SET AND MATCH

Sir,

I thought the latest edition of The Imperial Patriot was wonderful, just what we need. The article "The Roper Set" was marvellous, I wish I'd been there. What civilised fun you all had. Dare I ask are you the "esteemed umpire"? Keep it going!

Yours etc.,

Paul Armstrong, Surrey, U.K.

[ Yes I was. Surely the bottle of Castle Lager to my left was a dead giveaway!. – Ed.]

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

GIANT LOGIC

Sir,

How far is this mania for tearing down statues, defacing monuments and renaming things going to go?

Are they going to take all Volkswagens off the road because the Volkswagen ('"Peoples' Car') was inspired by Hitler?

Are the trendy lefties and A-listers in the media and entertainment industry going to trash their Porsches because Ferdinand Porsche was a friend of Hitler?

Are the same trendy A-listers going to stop wearing Coco Chanel perfume because she was an alleged collaborator?

Are they going to rename the Ford Motor Company because Henry Ford was an raving anti-Semite who received a special award from the Nazi Party?

Is the BBC (after wiping the "don't mention the war" episode) going to wipe that episode of Fawlty Towers featuring the Irish builder O'Reilly who knocks down a load-bearing wall and puts a door in the wrong place because he is the stereotype stupid Irishman?

Are they going to rename anything called "Whitlam" because of his racist attempt to stop Vietnamese refugees being let in after the Vietnam War because he knew as they were running away from communism they'd all vote Liberal?

Are they going to ban Jerry Seinfeld, Woody Allen and Larry David because of their holocaust jokes?

Are they going to rename the electorate of Calwell because Arthur Calwell was an enthusiastic supporter of the White Australia Policy?

I could go on ……

HOPELESS

Sir,

I expect Southern and Eastern Africa could be a sort of Dominion, because any Dominion by itself, grows, and succeeds, as Canada. “Black lives matter”, that is true, but why is this not in the interest of the rulers in Africa with their own population? Black people in South Africa and in Zimbabwe are poor and they have got Black rulers. With the "White Oppression" they hoped for a better world (which?). Now, that hope has vanished. They, have not, now, any hope. You have to look at the number of suicides in Southern Africa, throwing themselves onto the train tracks. There are Black people who long for the government of Ian Smith. For a Liberal, it is incredible but true.

The British Rule, in Africa, made slavery disappear and contained the adverse effects of the Zulus on other ethnic groups. Real facts, not opinions.

DRIVEN MAD

Sir,

The MCC knee-jerkers were a DISGRACE, and as for that brat driving a Mercedes, just where, what, when has that selfish, greedy, Black F1 driver ever built or donated for any school, hospital or charity for his fellow-Blacks in the UK?

Knowing the bullsh1t-bad BBC, this idiot will get the “Sports Personality of the Year” award for 2020, (stake your bets now!) with Jofra Archer as runner-up!

Yours etc.,

OBITUARY

JAMES GARDNER SIVES

It was with great sadness that we learnt of the recent death of the great Rhodesian patriot James Gardner Sives.

James Sives played a significant role in the success of the famous 1976 Rhodesian Tour (see S.A.Patriot-in-Exile No.33). He gave a lift to one member of the Tour Party (the current editor of the SCN) from Messina to Salisbury, and then, together with his parents, ensured that all the Tour Party members enjoyed a splendid time in Salisbury, before giving them much advice for the rest of their journey. Most importantly, however, he provided an introduction to a colleague who worked for RBC which led to the electrifying interview of three members (Neil Farnell, Alan Gresham and Tony Williams) by Harvey Ward on RTV. He will therefore always be fondly remembered by all the Tour Party members, who now consequently grieve his loss greatly.

James Gardner Sives was born at Edinburgh in 1943, the son of George Marshal and Jean Sives. The family emigrated to Southern Rhodesia in 1952, and the family settled in Salisbury where his father, George Marshal Sives, served in the BSAP. He was educated at Allan Wilson High School in Salisbury before joining the Royal Rhodesian Regiment, in which he served as a Regimental Policeman throughout the 1960s. In 1966 he met and married Ann Gould, and they eventually had three children. In the early 1970s he moved to Pietersburg in South Africa, and together with his brother George established the Capricorn Paints paint manufacturing business, and in 1976 diversified by opening the Combined Medical Specialists company in Johannesburg, before moving to Cape Town in 1986 where his businesses were from then onwards based.

In spite of his relocation to South Africa James Sives always remained a die-hard Rhodesian at heart. He joined and became active in the Save Rhodesia Campaign in 1977, helping his brother to establish the campaign’s Pietersburg Branch. He was able to see through the rogue Brendan Willmer who had usurped control of the SRC however, and as a result he never joined Willmer’s subsequent South Africa First Campaign scam after the fall of Rhodesia in 1979, from then onwards concentrating upon his businesses and family life, but instilling in all his extended family members his own abiding love for the Rhodesian nation.

Our sincerest condolences are extended to his wife Ann, his children Alan, Jill and Kate, his brothers George and Maurice, and to his niece Jean and all the other members of his extended family. We should all now remember the defiant words of John Edmond: “Rhodesians Never Die”!
