SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

October 2022 edition

We have known of no other issue which has divided patriotic opinion so radically and so fundamentally throughout the UK and the British Commonwealth than the current military conflict in the Ukraine. We have supporters who take a firm pro-Ukrainian line, whereas others are equally strident in their pro-Moscow stance. We respect both sets of sincerely held views.

Our own standpoint is far more nuanced however. Being staunch Unionists in the UK context, and also supporting the unity of the other great European nations, we naturally find ourselves sympathetic towards the aspirations of the Russian people for the re-unification of “All the Russias”, as was the case during Tsarist years. Having said this, however, we can not support the violent strong-arm methods currently being employed by the Moscow government to achieve this aspiration! Far, far better we believe for them to have embarked upon a “charm offensive” in order to encourage the Ukrainian people to elect a government similar to that of Viktor Yanukovych which existed in the Ukraine prior to 2014, which adopted friendly relations with Moscow in a similar manner to the relationship of Belarus. It is not just a case that military force against civilians is morally wrong, but also that it has so antagonised the Ukrainian people that it has become totally counter-productive towards their basic aim!

The position of the current British Government regarding the conflict in the Ukraine is particularly disappointing. Surely post-Brexit Russia is Britain’s most natural ally on the European continent? Surely therefore it has been a great mistake by the successive Johnson and Truss governments to pursue such a fiercely anti-Russian policy, when a sympathetic stance – or even a firmly neutral stance – would have enabled Britain to act as an “honest broker” and thereby to assist in bringing the fighting to a halt. As it is Britain simply seems to be acting as a lackey of both the EU and the Biden Administration in the United States, neither of which are particular friends of Britain!

At the moment all that we see in the Ukraine is White men and women killing White men and women, whilst the non-White world – particularly expansionist Islam and the threatening Chinese - look on and laugh. Furthermore, the anti-Russian fanaticism of both the EU and the Biden Administration has only pushed Russia firmly into the Chinese orbit. The only conceivable peace proposal which seems to have emerged has come from Elon Musk, the South African-born internationally renowned entrepreneur and visionary. Although his Peace Plan undoubtedly needs to be “tweaked” slightly, we can only congratulate Elon Musk greatly on his efforts in this regard, and to wish him every success.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

The Springbok Club again fulfilled their promise to Peter Sladden by maintaining the traditional ”Raising of the Flag” ceremony last month. This ceremony was held annually at Cecil Square, Salisbury, Rhodesia from 1891 until 1979, and at Peter Sladden’s estate at Southrepps in Norfolk from 1981 until 2017. This year the ceremony was held at Swanage in Dorset, which had been the home to Cmd.E.C.”Teddy” Tyndale-Biscoe (who of course first raised the Union Flag at the site which became Salisbury, Rhodesia, on 13th September 1890) from 1936 until his death in 1941. The ceremony was actually held outside the house where he lived in Bon Accord Road, Swanage, with Sgt. Graham Gillmore (ex-RLI) acting as parade commander. After the Union Flag and the Rhodesian Flag were raised by Mr. Alan Williamon and Mrs.Susan Gordon key-note speeches were given by Mr. Stuart Agnew (former UKIP MEP for the East of England) and Mr. Gavin Sandeman (of the Sandeman Port importing family), which was followed by rousing renditions of both the British and Rhodesian National Anthems led by Mr.Alex Knox-Wylie. Toasts were then raised to the memories of Cmd.E.C.”Teddy” Tyndale-Biscoe and Mr.Peter Sladden and to The King with Sandeman Port (both Cmd.E.C.”Teddy” Tyndale-Biscoe’s mother and his first wife were members of the Sandeman Port importing family), before participants adjourned to The Black Swan (which is believed to have been Cmd.E.C.”Teddy” Tyndale-Biscoe’s “local”) where Mr.Gary Vincent gave a captivating PowerPoint presentation about his life and career, before everyone present enjoyed a sumptuous evening meal.

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

The Springbok Club will be holding a special buffet-meeting to celebrate the anniversary of UDI next month, the details of which are as follows :-

Date : Saturday 26th November 2022

Time : assemble from 12.00 noon onwards, meeting to commence at 13.00 hrs.

Venue: THE ANTELOPE (the upstairs dining room), 22 Eaton Terrace, Belgravia, London SW1W 8EZ. (nearest tube station: Sloane Square - turn right out of the main entrance, then right again into the north side of Sloane Square which becomes Cliveden Place, then finally left into Eaton Terrace where The Antelope is on the left).

Guest Speaker : Mr. Bryn Price

Bryn Price served as a District Officer in the Rhodesian Department of Internal Affairs, before moving to the UK where he has been active with a number of expatriate Rhodesian organisations. He is also a accomplished long-distance Canoeist, having represented England at senior level.

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

The Springbok Club is planning a special event to mark the Day of the Vow in central London during December, and will be holding its 2023 AGM in January of next year, after which a fascinating PowerPoint presentation will be shown. Further details of both these events will be given in future editions of the SCN.

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS

Details of the Patriotic Forum’s October meeting are as follows :-

Date : Monday 24th October 2022

Time : 18.30 hrs for 19.00 hrs.

Venue : The SUTTON ARMS (the upstairs function room), 6 Carthusian Street, Barbican, London EC1M 6EB. (Nearest tube station: Barbican. Turn left out of the station, and Carthusian Street is then the first turning on the left, with the Sutton Arms diagonally opposite.)

Guest Speaker : Mr. Peter Lindsay - who will be speaking on the theme of “The World Crisis”

Peter Lindsay was born in London in 1950 to “Labour” parents who had become more and more disillusioned with the Labour Party’s leftward drift, and eventually became strong Thatcherites. They were always strong patriots, as he has always been. He grew up on a council estate in Essex and was fortunate to benefit from the tripartite education system of the post-WW2 years and went to a Grammar School. He qualified as a chartered accountant in 1974, and later became a tax specialist. He has always lived in the South-East.

Peter Lindsay has always been interested in politics and history, and this led him to become inquisitive and concerned about the grotesque direction the UK took in the post-WW2 years. He became a member and activist of UKIP shortly after it was formed, and ran a branch in Surrey where he currently lives. He was “over the moon” when the result of the 2016 Referendum made all the years of effort worthwhile, but he regards getting out of the EU as only “Job No.1” in the long task of British renewal after decades of betrayal and decline. He currently runs a highly acclaimed e-mail circulation service as part of his campaign to assist with Britain’s renewal, and to alert people to what he believes has been the biggest single evil ever to infect the world, Marxism,

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

The Patriotic Forum’s 2022 AGM, at which a re-constituted Committee will be elected, will take place during the evening of Wednesday 9th November in central London. Precise details about this event will be circulated to all Patriotic Forum members and supporters very shortly.

MESSAGE FROM THE ANIMAL SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION

We have recently received the following very important report from the Animal Survival International organisation about the situation concerning giraffes in the “new” South Africa. It reads as follows:-

“On a small piece of land in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, three adult giraffes (one who lost her calf) live in a totally unsuitable and unsustainable desperate situation. They are riddled with ticks and facing the prospect of starving to death.

“The giraffes need to be moved to a more suitable area - and FAST!

“The trio have devoured most of the vegetation, and because of a prolonged drought re-growth is critically slow, making their living conditions increasingly dire. Another problem is that blood-sucking ticks have plagued the land, leeching the life from these already-weakened giraffes and causing wounds and disease. Already two newborn giraffes have died because of these conditions. The second was just one day old when he breathed his last. His mother is still so traumatized that she constantly returns to the site of his death.

“Usually in situations like this, people simply shoot the giraffes because it is a cheap ‘solution’ to the problem, but we must not let this happen. We need your help to move them to safety.

“There is no other option - we must move them fast, or the giraffes will most certainly die either from starvation or tick-borne disease.

“No one knows how the animals came to be in such an unsuitable place, but it is suspected that criminality was involved. The land was bought by a good-hearted young couple who has been giving the giraffes supplementary food, but the reality is that these towering creatures do not belong there. After exhausting all options, they reached out to us for help. As animal lovers, we acted immediately and found a solution. Giraffes are the world’s tallest land mammals and can grow to 17 feet so a tower of giraffes needs a lot of space to be comfortable and with your help, we will relocate the giraffes to a bigger area.

“The nearby Royalston Wildlife Reserve is perfect for giraffes and they will thrive there. So that’s where we plan to move them. The relocation is a tricky operation requiring expert skills to reduce stress on the giraffes and must be carefully planned. It will not be easy, but with your help we can do it.

“We have successfully relocated giraffes before - in 2021, with your help, we relocated three giraffes in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa, who faced slaughter because their home was going to be used for commercial farming.

“If we can raise US$15,000 (£12,200), we will construct an enclosure, entice the giraffes into it with food, humanely capture them, and transport them to their new home. This thousand-hectare, free-roaming sanctuary is just 5 miles from where the giraffes are now. There, they will receive immediate medical care, will have better access to food and, above all, more land to roam freely.

“With your support, the three giraffes will live and thrive among their own in open grasslands stretching over rolling hills.

“Our worry for the individual animals is a prime concern, but saving these giraffes is even more critical. Giraffe numbers have dropped by 40% in the last 30 years and are becoming increasingly threatened. There are now only some 117,000 giraffes in the wild.

“The surviving herds are fragmented and face many threats, from poaching to habitat loss, the latter of which is one of the gravest threats to their continued existence. Giraffes used to range through much of the African savanna, but they now live in a handful of communities scattered in clumps across the continent. In some countries, like Mali, giraffes have disappeared completely.

“What we have here is a tragedy, but we cannot turn a blind eye when giraffe calves drop dead before they have even had a chance to live. There is a solution and with your help, we will be able to give these giraffes a chance at a long, happy and safe life.

“The giraffes are only 10 MINUTES away from a potential haven that can meet all three of their most urgent needs - food, space and medical treatment. Will you help us make this happen and allow them to roam free and live as giraffes are intended to live? Please, donate as generously as you possibly can today so that we can put our emergency giraffe relocation project into action.“

CALL FOR MIXED CRICKET MATCHES

Over recent years sexually mixed relays have been introduced at the highest levels in Athletics, Swimming and Cycling tournaments. Lawn Tennis has of course for long included mixed doubles competitions, and Korfball has always been mixed by its very rules. Team sports seem to have been immune from this most welcome evolution however. When it comes to contact sports such as the various codes of Football this is probably understandable – but why not in Cricket?

Women’s Cricket has been around ever since the days of W.G.Grace’s mother of course, but it has only been in recent years that this branch of the game has enjoyed widespread popularity, so that many now consider it as exciting and as technically excellent as the men’s game – if not more so! Unfortunately this enthusiasm for the game has been accompanied by another most unpleasant development, namely the rise of the scourge of lesbianism within some of the top national teams. Leading players from England, Australia, New Zealand and the “new” South Africa have openly announced that they have entered into unnatural relationships with other female players, in some cases even going through a parody of a “marriage” ceremony. Unsurprisingly this has engendered great unease and indeed disgust among the game’s mainstream supporters, though it has been pleasing to note that one particular player has apparently rejected this unnatural lifestyle and is citing “mental health problems” for her disappearance from the game.

If a series of cricket competitions involving both sexes – with say a minimum of five players of each sex per team – could be introduced as in the other sports cited above, then not only would it spark great extra interest among supporters, but by bringing female players into closer contact with their male colleagues would make the machinations of predatory lesbians vastly more difficult!

LATEST FALKLANDS NEWS

We have recently received the following encouraging message from the Falklands Island Association. It reads as follows :-

“You may remember I wrote in November 2021 on behalf of the British Modern Military History Society, who were compiling a new volume of their 'Glimpses of War' series, specifically about the Falklands War, and wanted to hear from members who had a story to tell. The response from you all was amazing and I am pleased to say that many of our members' stories made it into the book.

“The book is now on sale from Amazon and all profits will be donated to Blind Veterans UK, More details can be found at: https://www.bmmhs.org/glimpses-of-war/

“Thank you to all of our members who responded, and I hope you find your stories in the book.”

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

LITTLE REPORTED NEWS ITEM FROM THE TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS

In a little reported development concerning the British Overseas Territory of The Turks and Caicos Islands, where there have evidently been 15 fatal gang-warfare shootings since the start of September, the UK Government has announced that it is sending a specialised Police unit to the colony in order to help restore law and order.

Such a move is of course to be welcomed, but it does demonstrate how the British Government has been neglecting its colonial responsibilities to the islands. Surely resources from Britain’s “Overseas Aid Budget” should be restricted to helping Britain’s remaining Overseas Territories, rather than handed out to third world potentates and tyrants who hold no love for Britain. Not only would such investment help eliminate all the gang warfare and lawlessness in this neglected colony, but it could also be used to build up infrastructure on the islands so that they could become a paradise for British holidaymakers.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.287: Mr. NORMAN LANCASHIRE.of Durban

Norman Lancashire was an early subscriber to South African Patriot and also attended a few Patriotic Forum meetings when the original organisation of that name was based in Durban during the 1980s. It is believed that he lived in the Berea area of the city, but very little else is known about him, apart from the fact that he was very proud of his British ancestry. Unfortunately his copy of the latest issue of The Imperial Patriot has been returned to us as he evidently is no longer the box-holder of the P.O.Box which was the last address which we have for him. As he was quite an elderly man during the 1980s we therefore fear for the worse, but we would even so be very interested to learn what became of him.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BLACK BROADCASTING CORPORATION

Sir,

I’ve come to the conclusion that the BBC is a racist organisation.

They disseminate, without context, without explanation, anti-White propaganda. White privilege, White fragility, White this, White that ……

None of this is supported by the facts. Quite the reverse.

White boys especially are at the bottom of the earnings and education chin. They are most likely to be drug addicted and to kill themselves.

Douglas Murray and Frank Furedi say similar.

Yours etc.,

Roger Alsop, Islington, London, U.K.

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

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Sir,

A few months ago you published a letter from me about an old schoolmate, Andy Cowie. I’m afraid I have some very sad news for you. Andy died at the start of 2020. I don’t know what the cause of his death was. Alas he never achieved the full brilliant potential of his schoolboy days. Even more sadly I learnt that he never married, and evidently had no known children. This was very surprising as he never seemed short of a girlfriend when I knew him – they mainly being friends of his three sisters. His seemed to be a very close and friendly family, but by all accounts there was severe family conflict and disruptions when one of his sisters – “Plain Jane” Janet – married an Asian (described to me as “a smelly Indian”). She is also now apparently dead, having died in her early 50s in mysterious circumstances.

Yours etc.,

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

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

WISE COUNSEL

Sir,

Thank you for sending the email which includes commentary on the situation in Ukraine.

Having lived in Kyiv I feel compelled to write to reject the inference that Russia has any legitimate claim to invade and occupy a neighbouring country. People whom we now in Kherson are now ashamed of the brutal attrition and war crimes which still continue as Russian forces destroy their homes for no good reason. Any claim made by Putin and his cronies that the war is justified to save lives of Ukrainians who have a Russian heritage is total nonsense.

Many people whom we know in Moscow are opposed to the illegal war. One family has recently moved to Georgia to get away from the tyranny of Putin’s thugs in the police.

Although I support the patriotic aims of your organisation please do not become a channel for vile Russian propaganda in the way that Lord HawHaw did in WW2.

Yours etc.,

Hugh Counsell, London N2, U.K.

[ We have in the past tried to present both stances regarding the current regrettable conflict in the Ukraine. This however does not mean that we support either sets of arguments which we’ve re-circulated. Our own more nuanced position is fully detailed in this month’s editorial above. - Ed.]

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

A RAT SNIFFS AROUND AGAIN

We have recently heard the disturbing news that the notorious traitor Arthur “White kaffir” Kemp has been sniffing around in patriotic circles in the UK once again. After all the well-documented problems which this obnoxious trouble-maker has caused in both South Africa and the UK all we can say is that if any White patriot is still prepared to give him credibility then they must have very short memories!

We have carried several exposés of Kemp’s duplicitous nature in past editions of the SCN, but we have recently been informed of a most revealing web-site about him entitled “Arthur Kemp, the swarthy Nordic mongrel” which can b accessed at: henryikson.blogspot.com/2012/06/who-is-arthur-kemp-of-you-might-know.html

In a nutshell, Kemp, a doctrinaire atheist, was born in Rhodesia, his mother being Dutch and his father being born at Beira, Mozambique of German origin, but who Anglocized his surname to “Kemp” during WW2. Kemp attended UCT to study commerce, but never graduated, and it was subsequently revealed by his first wife that all his University fees were paid by the South African authorities, thus confirming that he was in the pay of the authorities from a very early age.

Whilst at UCT he stood for the SRC as a “Monster Raving Loony Party”-type candidate, and got elected – the only non-NUSAS candidate to do so in his year. Shortly after this he helped found the “Moderate Students Movement” at UCT, which was an affiliate of he “National Students Federation”, an NP-front set-up in opposition to NUSAS. In spite of his apparent NP-orientation he gravitated to the mainstream Right of South African politics, joining the infant Conservative Party of South Africa and subscribing to S.A.Patriot, writing for the magazine under the pseudonym of Adrian Kotze. After leaving UCT he did his national service in the SAP, wherein he was still mysteriously allowed to be politically active with the mainstream Right. Upon finishing his national service he first worked as a journalist on The Citizen newspaper, before joining the full-time staff of the Conservative Party of South Africa. After a couple years working for the CP his employment was terminated however, and it was subsequently revealed that this was because the CP leadership strongly suspected that he was spying on them for the NP government.

Real doubts about Kemp’s authenticity came a couple of years later however, when he published a book about the pantomime AWB outfit. Although littered with factual errors, this book obtained ominous widescale publicity, and as a result the previously obscure AWB outfit was used to demonise the “Vote No” campaign at the 1992 Constitutional Referendum. At the trial of the great South African patriot Clive Derby-Lewis for the assassination of the terrorist Chris Hani Kemp turned State’s Witness, and admitted supplying Clive with Hani’s address. After this act of treason by Kemp nobody in mainstream Rightwing circles in South Africa would of course touch him, and it soon became apparent that the CP leadership had been correct in their suspicions, and that he was definitely in the pay of the South African security services. Whereas most other agents of the security services from NP days took early retirement when offered upon the sell-out to the ANC regime, Kemp was however willing to “take the ANC’s shilling”. He thereafter renounced his support for the mainstream Right and instead started identifying himself with the “off the edge” far-Right, apparently on the instructions of the ANC. His brief was evidently to infiltrate resistance movements to the ANC and to spy on them and/or to discredit them by association.

As no-one in South Africa would touch Kemp with a bargepole because his cover had been blown, he was thus no longer of any use to the ANC internally, so they therefore moved him overseas in order for him to spy on and discredit South African resistance movements in exile. His main focus of interest in this regard was the Springbok Club and the re-launched S.A.Patriot-in-Exile. Those behind both these resistance vehicles knew all about Kemp’s phoniness however, and he achieved no success – but then he turned really nasty! Knowing that this present writer was closely involved with both bodies, and knowing that I knew all about his notorious South African past, he tried to smear me with a series of vile fabricated pornographic pictures which he claimed to be of me. In reality he had managed to “hack” into my computer and had obtained some authentic head-and-shoulder pictures of me and my address book, and then, with help of a naïve “off the edge” far-Right colleague, the late Anthony “Tony” Hancock (a “Photoshop” expert and a notorious Holocaust Denier, who was once arrested for indecent exposure!), had fabricated this smear by juxtaposing these enhanced pictures alongside some obscene pictures of a “headless” naked male in various pornographic poses. To be responsible for concocting such a disgusting fake smear campaign shows that not only is Kemp a traitor, but also that he possesses a sick, sick mind!

Thereafter the ANC seemed to realise that Kemp was of no further use to them, so he was apparently simply handed over to the British security services who used him to infiltrate the far-Right “British National Party”. On the basis of his universally panned book about the AWB outfit and another book equally littered with factual errors which he claimed to be “The History of the White Race”, Kemp quickly ingratiated himself with the naïve BNP leadership, and in no time whatsoever he was appointed their “Foreign Affairs Spokesman”. The grassroots membership of the BNP proved not to be so naïve as their leadership however, and he was soon nicknamed “The Spook” and levered out of the Party. Thereafter Kemp seemed to disappear entirely from the political scene, though it is known that for the past decade he has been jetting around between the UK, the United States and the “new” South Africa. Who is now paying for all his travel costs, and for his upkeep in general for that matter, remains a complete mystery however!

Kemp’s personal life has proved equally as chaotic and pathetic as his political life. He has been married twice, firstly to a charming South African woman he met during his youth and secondly to an American woman who he met through far-Right activities. Both marriages ended in divorce however, although he has pathetically tried to win back the affections of both women, totally without success. He had two children from his first marriage, a boy and a girl. His son now holds him in total contempt – indeed hatred – referring to him openly as “an asshole”, whereas his daughter simply uses him to get as many perks as possible from him!

In view of all this well-documented history of Kemp’s total failure in life it is dumbfounding to learn that somebody still apparently takes him seriously. We trust therefore that they will soon familiarise themselves with the totally phony and obnoxious nature of this rat, and will drop all contact with the “asshole” as a result. We would however be very keen to discover precisely what the “White kaffir” has been up to for the past decade or so.

September 2022 Edition.

SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

September 2022 edition

The past two weeks have witnessed one of the most dramatic periods in British – indeed in world – history. First of all the election of Liz Truss as leader of the British Conservative Party, and thereby Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and then the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the longest serving monarch in British history. The end of an era indeed.

Liz Truss’s predecessor, Boris Johnson, ascended to the post with high hopes and much good-will from a wide section of the patriotic British people, but alas these high expectations were dashed immediately that he announced his first cabinet, which was not so much a British cabinet as a United Nations one! As a result his popularity soon plummeted, as was confirmed by the Conservative Party’s defeat at several by-elections in constituencies which had been rock-solid Tory strongholds for decades. Liz Truss therefore had much going for her after being elected Conservative leader if she was to return the party to its patriotic roots. In spite of the fact that she was only elected by the Conservative Party membership because “she was not Rishi Sunak” she immediately made the same mistake as Johnson by appointing foreigners – and non-White foreigners at that – to the highest positions in her cabinet. Such an insult to the British people will not be forgiven of course, and so her chances of winning the next General Election now seem to be zero.

Although the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth II of England, Northern Ireland and Wales) was both inevitable and expected, it still came as a great shock to the world. The practically universal outpouring of grief was not only far higher than many expected, but also – most sad though the occasion actually was – a manifestation which endears great national pride. Queen Elizabeth was undoubtedly a good, sincere and dedicated woman. Of that there can be no doubt. But to term her “Elizabeth the Great” so soon after her death, as Boris Johnson has insisted upon doing, is surely a clear case of hyperbole. Let history decide. The fact remains, however, that although when Queen Elizabeth’s illustrious ancestor, Queen Victoria, died her country possessed the greatest Empire which the world had ever known, when Queen Elizabeth died that Empire had shrunk to only 15 realms where she was Head of State and 14 colonial possessions. Now however is not the time to discuss whether she herself could have done anything to prevent this humiliating national decline.

We must now however look to the new monarch of the United Kingdom and his other realms and territories, King Charles III. There are some who view his succession with trepidation, but we ask them to consider two important facts. Firstly his current wife is a woman with impeccable credentials who will undoubtedly influence him greatly for the good – quite unlike would have been the case if he was still married to his former deeply flawed wife. Secondly we ask everyone to remember King Edward VII. When he was still Prince of Wales he was also predicted to be a disaster as King, but after he ascended to the throne he proved to be a magnificent monarch who helped to increase the power and glory of the British Empire. We believe – and certainly hope – that King Charles III will likewise defy his doomsaying critics.

There are however three requests that we would make to the new King and his Royal Household :-

1) Although the title “Queen Consort” is constitutionally correct, it was never used colloquially in the past. The Queens Consort of Kings Edward VII, George V and George VI were always referred to colloquially as Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. Likewise the current Queen Consort should from henceforth be referred to as Queen Camilla. 2) The decision to prevent HRH The Duke of York from being allowed to wear naval uniform in events associated with the late Queen’s funeral and the succession should immediately be rescinded. There is a tenet in British Law that everyone is assumed innocent until proven guilty. HRH The Duke of York has never been found guilty of any offence, in spite of serious accusations being leveled against him by a gold-digging American sex-worker. He was advised to pay extortion money to her by unknown figures within the Royal Household in order to prevent acute embarrassment to other members of the Royal Family, rather than defending himself to establish his innocence. This decision we believe was a great mistake, and shouldn’t be used to imply that he admitted guilt. 3) At the time that Prince Edward was created Earl of Wessex it was stated that the then Duke of Edinburgh wished his title to continue for posterity, and that after his death and that of his wife, Her Majesty the Queen, the Earl of Wessex should inherit it. Both the former Duke of Edinburgh and Her Majesty are now dead, yet there has still been no announcement that the Earl of Wessex has inherited his late father’s title. This we believe should now be done.

Be these matters as they may, we mourn the passing of the late Queen and cherish her memory, and pledge fealty to the new King and Queen and the new Prince and Princess of Wales

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

The Springbok Club staged a most enjoyable and enlightening trip to the Dr. Johnson House Museum in central London last month. This proved a very successful event, and enabled those present to learn a lot more about the great 18th century essayist and lexicographer’s life and achievements. Both prior to and after this visit members of the Springbok Club party patronised the near-by historic Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub, where in a convivial atmosphere ideas and plans for future Springbok Club activities were discussed.

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

This year’s “Raising of the Flag” ceremony will be held on Saturday 1st October at Swanage in Dorset. This venue has been chosen because Swanage was the town where Cmd. Edward Carey. “Teddy” Tyndale-Biscoe RN – who of course was the person who first raised the Union Flag at the site which subsequently became Salisbury, Rhodesia, on 13th September 1890 – lived from 1936 until his death in 1941. Assemble at “The Anchor Inn”, 30-32 High Street, Swanage, Dorset, BH19 2NU from 12.00 noon until approximately 14.30 hrs on Saturday 1st October, before attendees will proceed to a site close to Cmd.Tyndale-Biscoe’s former house at “Braemar”, 8 Bon Accord Road, Swanage. The actual ceremony will then take place, starting at 15.00 hrs, and will consist of the symbolic raising of the Union Flag, short key-note speeches by two prominent personalities, and the singing of both the British and the Rhodesian National Anthems. After the ceremony the party will adjourn to the near-by “Black Swan” pub (which is believed to have been Cmd.Tyndale-Biscoe’s “local”) where a PowerPoint presentation about his life and career (as well as that of another great naval hero from the area, CPO Ernest Pitcher VC) will be given, starting at 17.00 hrs and lasting until approximately 19.00 hrs, after which an evening meal will be available. The day’s events will also include a toast being raised to the memory of Cmd.Tyndale-Biscoe with Sandeman’s port – a drink which has been chosen because both his mother and his first wife were members of the famous Sandeman port importing family!

As several supporters have expressed an interest in staying at Swanage for a few days, a good B&B accommodation establishment has been found, so if you would also like to stay overnight please let us know. For more information, or if you have difficulties finding the venues on the day, please ‘phone: 07711188430.

The Springbok Club is planning an important buffet-meeting in central London during mid-November in order to commemorate UDI Day, whereat the guest speaker will be a prominent expatriate Rhodesian. Further details will be given in future editions of the SCN.

MESSAGE FROM THE ANIMAL SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION

We have recently received the following extremely concerning report from the Animal Survival International organisation about the plight of Vaquita Porpoises. It reads as follows:-

“The vaquita is the most endangered marine mammal in the world. Right now, there are only about 10 of these small porpoises left in the entire world - we are perilously close to losing them forever.

”Vaquitas live only in the Sea of Cortez in Mexico where imminent extinction beckons because they become entangled in illegal fishing nets and die. It’s that stark and that simple and without our help, another unique creature will be lost because of mankind destroying the oceans.

“Vaquitas could be extinct within the next few years. These rare creatures are in grave danger of disappearing within our lifetime

“Vaquitas have striking dark-ringed facial features that are often compared to a smiling panda. They are shy and reclusive - steering clear of boats when approached. Unfortunately, they can’t always propel themselves away from potential threats fast enough. Over the last decade, the vaquita population has plunged from 576 to less than 10 individuals. Human greed and selfishness is the cause.

“Vaquitas are routinely caught by fishermen using gillnets, long walls of netting that hang in the water trapping fish. Gillnets are illegal, but commonly used by poachers seeking totoabas - an endangered species of fish that shares the vaquita’s habitat. Once vaquitas become entangled in the nets they are unable to surface for air and drown within minutes. Those who do manage to escape often suffer severe injuries and do not survive the trauma.

“In an attempt to protect vaquitas, the Mexican government banned gillnet fishing in 2016. But enforcement efforts are feeble, and vaquitas continue to be obliterated. Not all hope is lost - the impending extinction of vaquitas CAN be prevented. But if these animals are to have any chance at survival, it is critical that the authorities step up enforcement measures to terminate illegal fishing operations FOR GOOD.

“Animal Survival International will work alongside Earth League International (ELI), an innovative, hands-on NGO that fights wildlife crime through undercover operations. At considerable risk to themselves, they penetrate planned poaching operations before they start fishing. Law enforcement officials and local government officials are presented with such strong evidence that they have no choice but to act. This they can easily do because their job has been done for them. It's an approach that works and one that with your help, will make their species stronger.“

CONGRATULATIONS BIRMINGHAM!

This year’s Commonwealth Games, which were centred in Birmingham, proved a most well-organised and spectacular success. Birmingham of course may have seemed like an unlikely venue for such a massive global event, but the organising committee and the city elders not only staged a faultless show but also proved that there were places in England outside London which had character of their own and were worthy of recognition

It should not be forgotten, however, that Birmingham was not the original choice to host the 2022 Games. That accolade was originally due to go to Durban in the “new” South Africa – but it didn’t take the Commonwealth Games Federation’s Executive Board long to realise that today’s Durban was a totally unsuitable place to hold such a global multi-sports spectacular. Durban of course was a beautiful and well-administered city during the days of civilised rule in South Africa and would then have been an ideal city to host events such as the Commonwealth Games, but today alas it is just another third world cess-pit where all infrastructure has collapsed and rampant crime and rioting is the order of the day. Hopefully this will be the last occasion when a foolhardy decision is made to stage a major sporting competition anywhere in the decaying “new” South Africa!

Birmingham however showed how a civilised first world country could and should stage a major global sporting tournament. It was not only the superb organisation which made it such a memorable occasion which brought joy to millions however, as there were also many outstanding achievements by the competitors themselves. These outstanding triumphs are really too numerous to mention, but we feel that we must mention Flora Duffy from Bermuda retaining her Women’s Triathlon crown and Lucy Beere and Alastair Chalmers winning Guernsey’s first medals at the Commonwealth Games since 1994!

In spite of all the successes of Birmingham 2022 there were even so some disappointments. Firstly there was the presence in the Games of a number of countries which never had any connection with Britain or the British Empire, such as Mozambique and Rwanda. This of course is a fault of the Commonwealth itself rather than the Games’ organisers, but surely it is about time to slim down the Commonwealth to that it consists of only those countries which recognize King Charles III as their Head of State and Britain’s remaining overseas territories, plus perhaps a few other countries which have strong historic and friendly relations with the United Kingdom such as Malta, Fiji and Tonga. Secondly, rather like the Olympic Games, there are too many “pseudo-sports” relying upon the opinions of judges rather than the stop-watch or the tape-measure included in the Commonwealth Games itinerary. These “sports”, particularly Rhythmic Gymnastics, should be dropped immediately, along with Judo, which is a Japanese form of Wrestling which has nothing to do with Britain or the British Empire. In their place should be added some more traditional British sports such as Snooker, Rowing and Polo – plus of course Men’s Cricket to join their female counterparts!

Hopefully all these faults will be rectified in time for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Australia – an event which we can hardly wait for!

DISTURBING REPORT FROM THE BRITISH FREEDOM PARTY

Although we have no direct connection with the British Freedom Party (BFP), we do find that we have many opinions and aims in common. It has therefore been very disturbing to receive the following message from Ms. Jayda Fransen, the Leader of the BFP :-

“I actually cannot believe this is happening.

“As you know, I have been working very hard to keep the office running whilst caring for my much loved pug, Buster, who is desperately unwell.

“On top of all that, Buster and I may now be in danger.

“In the middle of a very busy and stressful time, I found myself the subject of a vicious and completely FALSE smear campaign by individuals who alleged to be in the same cause as me.

“As a direct result of the lies they have tod, I have been instructed by the Police to place extra security on my home over serious safety concerns.

“To say that I am horrified at this is an understatement.

“I have devoted many years of my life to honest and loyal activism. I have confronted terrorists, exposed child groomers and served time in jail for this cause.

“Yet now I face the threat of serious harm, or even worse – NOT because of a jihadist or child groomers – but because of lies told by people whom I have previously stood beside.

“At a time when my main concern is getting little Buster the medical help he needs, I am now having to find the money to put extra security on my home to keep he and I safe.

“I do not have the means to pay for any of this, but I cannot risk any harm coming to myself or Buster, especially when he is so sick.

“Please, if you can, chip in towards my ‘Home Security Fund’ at: https://www.jaydafransen.online/home_security_fund

“I never expected I’d have to make my home a fortress as a result of being smeared , but I am not ignoring the police advice I have been given.

“I will NEVER bow down to thee bullies, and I will do whatever I can to keep myself and Buster safe, but I really do need your support.

“I may be a woman, but I am driven by my love for God, my country and my people.

“I will NOT be deflected by the actions of these lying bullies.

“Thank you for your loyalty.”

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.286: Mrs. PAM THORNYCROFT.of Bristol

Pam Thornycroft contacted the Springbok Club several years ago, and even though she never attended any of the organisation’s meetings she always seemed to be a keen supporter. Alas several recent e-mail circulars and invitations sent to her through the post have been returned as she is evidently know longer contactable at her last known addresses. We wonder therefore whether anyone knows how she can now be contacted?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COOLIE-BOETIES

Sir,

If Rishi Sunak says that the experts had too much power over Covid restrictions then which members of the government agreed with these so-called experts? Some of them had hard-Left political beliefs.

Yours etc.,

Boris Catt, Bromley, Kent, U.K.

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

THE GREAT SETBACK

Sir,

The unnecessary Covid scare helped the “Great Reset” fanatics of the UN and the World Economic Forum more than the phony man-made global warming scare. But they’ll use both, they’ll use anything, as a pretext for taking total control of us all. Can our civilisation be saved?

Yours etc.,

Jillian Becker, California, U.S.A.

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

STATE THEFT

Sir,

New South African (“Azanian”) wealth tax laws are to come. This terrorist tax on wealth will slowly strip the wealthy of the middle class of South Africa to the bone financially. The private sector will crash over the next three years. The super wealthy have been leaving South Africa in swarms over the last two years with their wealth intact. If you own two or three homes and rent them because the pension you paid into during the 80s and 90s is defunct or just a joke in 2020, my advice is sell your houses, move the money out of South Africa and leave.

The ANC have run out of stolen money and will tax you to death. Your bank accounts are going to be looked at and the wealthy will have their South African accounts locked down and pilfered by the ANC terrorist syndicate. The Rhodesians warned us in the 80s! Rhodesians had their state pensions stolen by 1983 to the last Dollar. It all went into the back pocket of the new terrorist state.

Yours etc.,

Benny Sparrow, Durban, Natal, South Africa.

A PHONY REVEALS HIS TRUE COLOURS

Many readers will undoubtedly recall the disaster which befell the Swinton Circle (which merged with New Britain to form the Patriotic Forum in 2016) on 31st July 2015 when its meeting was gate-crashed by some two dozen uninvited trouble-makers who then proceeded to disrupt the event, and when asked to leave refused to do so, so that the meeting then descended into chaos (see August 2015 SCN, September 2015 SCN, October 2015 SCN and November 2015 SCN).

It was learnt at this meeting, and confirmed subsequently, that the person who had issued the unauthorised “invitations” to this event was named Jack Buckby – a person who we had never previously heard of, let alone being connected in any way to the organisation! Subsequent information seemed to indicate that this mysterious Buckby character was connected to Paul Griffin, who had been a Committee Member of the Swinton Circle before exposing himself as being in league with the gate-crashing trouble-makers by chatting merrily away to one of the main disrupters of the meeting, prior to resigning from the organisation before he could be expelled. Shortly after the disastrous meeting Griffin induced two other Committee Members, Robin Willow and Paul Symonds, to meet him privately, at which rendezvous he evidently either threatened them or smeared the organisation sufficiently so that they also resigned their membership

Now comes news that the mysterious Jack Buckby, who evidently became associated with several far-Right and extremist organisation, repudiated his former Right-wing views in an interview with Channel 4 News in July 2020, and stated that he now regarded himself as a supporter of Left-wing causes, a position where he felt far happier.

This revelation of course casts a completely new light on the troubling events of 31st July 2015. We wonder therefore whether the two-faced infiltrator Paul Griffin has also now renounced the previous patriotic views which he claimed to hold, and also now supports a Left-wing agenda? Furthermore we wonder what the true positions were and are of the cowards Robin Willow and Paul Symonds, as we have heard nothing further from these traitors since they betrayed the organisation which they held office in?

August 2022 Edition.

SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

August 2022 edition

A reader has recently sent us a very interesting newspaper article from the Daily Mail of June 7th entitled “How our minority obsessed elite have turned reality on its head”, written by Mick Hume.

Although this important article is crouched in somewhat “politically correct“ language, it does even so provide a vital service by exposing how the true numbers of non-Whites resident in the UK have been exaggerated out of all proportion by what it terms “Leftist woke elites”, and then explaining the reasons why these egalitarians are so keen to propagate this dangerous exaggeration. Perhaps even more importantly this article also demonstrates how a frighteningly high number of Britons have been taken in by this defeatist propaganda and now seem to accept these lies which they have been told, and thereby offer no resistance to the attempted takeover of their country.

The article confirms that the percentage of Blacks living in the UK is 3%, which, if by Blacks they mean all those of full and part Negro blood, is probably correct (as we stated in last month’s SCN, the fact that Devon Malcolm – the Black former “England” cricketer - expressed surprise at how few fellow-Black players his son played against simply showed that he was unaware of how rare Negros were outside inner-city ghetto areas!.). The figure of 4% quoted for Muslims currently resident in the UK was also probably about right, so as many Blacks are also Muslims this means that the total percentage of Blacks and South Asian Muslims is probably about 6%, which when other less numerous non-Whites (Hindus and Sikhs etc) are taken into account means that the total percentage of non-Whites currently living in the UK is about 7% - a figure which those who have their eyes open and travel around the country away from inner-city areas would confirm is very near to the mark. .

Of course one wouldn’t believe these relatively low percentage figures by watching television in the UK, where there is constantly a preponderance of non-White faces appearing on the screen as actors/actresses, news-readers, sports and children’s programme presenters, and bizarrely even in adverts (don’t advertisers realise that by hiring pro-multi-racial advertising agencies who pack their adverts with non-White faces they only alienate the majority British audiences from buying their products?). Furthermore the true reality about the situation is most certainly not reflected by the composition of so many sporting teams in Britain, and more recently also by the composition of the Parliamentary benches!

With all this brainwashing propaganda being spread by the liberal-left egalitarian establishment it is therefore little wonder, as the Daily Mail article reports, that many Britons – namely those who gain their impressions of the country in which they live from what they see on their TV screens rather than by travelling around and observing the truth with their own eyes – seem to believe that the percentage of non-Whites in their midst is even higher than the inflated figures which they are fed, in some cases even astonishingly believing that it is as high as 35%! Yet in spite of the fact that this Daily Mail article does an excellent job in educating their readers about the truth, it is itself alas guilty of quoting a false statistic when it states that only 87% of the UK population is White - a ridiculously low figure which is often bandied around by the BBC and in Parliamentary reports. So how was this falsely low figure arrived at? By the simple expedient of lumping in all those White liberals who refuse to declare a racial classification in censuses and questionnaires together with the various non-White categories! White liberal egalitarians may not be our favourite group of people – but they should surely still be classified as White!

So why therefore are the liberal egalitarians so keen to assert figures which suggest that Britain is well on the way to becoming a fully multi-racial and multi-cultural society? The answer is simply that for ideological and doctrinal reasons they wish Britain (and indeed the whole of the West) to become multi-racial – and the best way of doing this is by pretending that it is already the case! By so doing they not only make it far easier to import even more third world immigrants into the country (both “legal” and illegal) as so many people sadly believe that higher numbers already exist, and also because it spreads hopelessness and fatalism among the indigenous British population, thereby stymieing resistance to the invasion of their country.

Our main contempt however isn’t reserved for the liberal egalitarians themselves – they after all are only aiming to fulfill the tenets of their own religion – but rather for those so-called White patriots who go along with their lies, and thereby only help to increase pessimism and defeatism. A short while ago we were contacted by an organisation called the Patriotic Alternative who sent us some excellent leaflets which they had produced attacking both the draconian Covid-19 “lockdown” restrictions and the sickening manifestations of the “Black Lives Matter” movement. We therefore initially hoped that we would be able to liaise and co-operate closely with the Patriotic Alternative organisation – but then they sent us a further leaflet which unbelievably stated “White Britons will become a minority in their own country by the 2060s”! When examined more closely this ludicrous and completely unsubstantiated claim came from an ultra-leftist university professor who quite obviously had a vested political or theological reason for hoping that such an impossible situation would come about! Such treacherous doom-mongering comments would be expected from ultra-leftist organisations such as the Socialist Workers Party of course, but surely not from an organisation calling itself the Patriotic Alternative!

Our movement, ever since its conception in the 1970s, has constantly advocated a halt to all non-White immigration into Britain, and for the encouragement of all those non-White immigrants already in the country to repatriate back to their lands of ethnic origin. Rather than stating that “White Britons will become a minority in their own country by the 2060s” as the doom-mongers such as the Patriotic Alternative seem to be doing, we state defiantly that Britain is, always has been, and always will be an overwhelmingly White country, and that we will work towards ensuring that White Britons will once again comprise only 98 to 99% of the UK population by the 2060s!

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

The Springbok Club held an informal but still most enjoyable and successful gathering last month in order to celebrate Rhodes & Founders Day. This was a replacement event taking the place of the planned buffet-meeting which has now been re-scheduled for November, when it will celebrate UDI Day. At this convivial gathering the Springbok Club’s Treasurer, Susan Gordon, gave a sparkling and captivating illustrated talk about her years in Rhodesia, and two members of the famous Rhodesian Tour of 1976 retold some anecdotes from this tour, with one also telling something about his experiences during his first visit to Rhodesia in 1974, when he was following Willie-John McBride’s British Lions Tour of Southern Africa. (As a prominent member of this British Lions Tour, Phil Bennett, the great Welsh fly-half, had sadly died a few days earlier, a brief moment of reflection was held in his memory).

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

Alas, as it was discovered somewhat too late that this year’s Hythe Venetian Fete was to be an all-ticket affair, the Springbok Club’s Kent Branch trip to this biennial event has had to be postponed until 2024.

As a replacement activity for August the Springbok Club will now be staging a trip to the Dr. Johnson House Museum, which is situated just off Fleet Street in central London. The details are as follows :-

Date : Saturday 27th August 2022

Rendezvous time : Between 13.00 hrs and 14.30 hrs

Rendezvous place : Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub (the Cellar Bar), 145 Fleet Street, London EC4A 2BP.

There will be an admission charge of £8.00 to enter the Dr. Johnson House Museum. For more details, or if you have any problems rendezvousing, ‘phone: 07711188430.

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

Basic arrangements for this year’s “Raising of the Flag” ceremony have now been finalised. This event will take place on Saturday 1st October 2022 at Swanage in Dorset, where Lieut. E.C. “Teddy” Tindale-Biscoe RN (who of course first raised the Union Flag at the site which subsequently became Salisbury on 13th September 1890) spent the final years of his life and died in 1941. The actual Flag-raising ceremony, which will include a couple of key-note speeches and the singing of both the British and Rhodesian national anthems, will take place during the afternoon at a site as close as possible to the house where Lieut. E.C. “Teddy” Tindale-Biscoe RN lived in Bon Accord Road (the precise number of this house has still to be discovered), after which the party will adjourn to a near-by pub which he is thought to have patronised, and where Mr. Gary Vincent will give a PowerPoint presentation about his life and career. Several supporters intending to attend this event are planning to make a weekend of the visit, arriving in Swanage on Friday 30th September and leaving on either the following Sunday or Monday. If you are interested in attending this event – either for the full weekend or just for the day of the ceremony - please let us know by e-mailing: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk.

MESSAGE FROM THE ANIMAL SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION

We have recently received the following most harrowing message from the Animal Survival International organisation about the plight of African penguins. It reads as follows:-

“The population of wild African penguins has plummeted from 1 million breeding pairs worldwide to just 23,000 in 2016 - a horrifying 98% decline. Only 2% of the world’s African penguins remain, and just under half this number (10,000) is found in South Africa.

”Bird Island, part of the Addo National Park, your support helps fund, is a critical penguin breeding ground and a major hope for their survival. Deadly cold, wet and windy conditions have been battering the island since March. The survival of penguin chicks who are born in winter is severely threatened. Some have already died.

“The situation is severe with endangered penguin chicks abandoned by their parents because of extreme food scarcity and harsh weather conditions. African penguins mate for life and are good parents who do their utmost to feed, protect and care for their offspring, but in the extreme weather, self-preservation kicks in and parents abandon their chicks to fend for themselves.

”Addo’s team discovered emaciated penguin chicks so desperate for food, they were eating grass. Penguins eat fish, grass and plants cannot sustain them but merely keeps their hunger pangs at bay, and in fact, makes them ill. When the abandoned chicks were rescued, they began retching mounds of thick, green gunk.

”The area around Bird Island is notorious for fierce winter storms and wild seas. From now until the weather improves in September, a series of emergency penguin rescues must take place if they are going to have any chance of survival. The weather gets so bad that boats are unsafe; helicopter rescues are the only answer.

“While adult penguins can survive up to three weeks without food, vulnerable chicks will die within 24 hours in these conditions.

“Transporting the chicks by helicopter is safe, effective and fast, and the penguins are taken to a well-established rehabilitation centre. We have already sponsored two emergency helicopter evacuation missions and rescued 59 chicks. As more chicks are born, more rescue missions are vital, without them the future is bleak. Rescue missions are vitally important for the species to survive.

CONGRATULATIONS ENGLAND LIONESSES!

We were of course euphoric at the triumph of the England Women’s Soccer Team at the recent UEFA European Women’s Football Championship Not only did England win all their matches, but apart from the quarter-final against Spain they never looked like being beaten! But it was not only their victories on the pitch which caused so much national rejoicing, but also the manner in which those in charge of Women’s Football defied those who opposed them.

Firstly the Football Association reprehensively and unjustifiably tried to destroy the women’s game by banning all clubs and grounds under their auspices from staging women’s matches in 1921. This disgusting and inexplicable ban was only lifted in 1970, meaning that for almost 50 years English women were prevented from playing the game which they loved. Even though the ban was removed in 1970 the FA has never issued any official apology or expressed remorse to the two generations of English women who they unforgivably prevented from playing the game at the highest level.

Secondly the management of this year’s national side most praise-worthily defied the politically correct brigade by rejecting their demands that they include non-White (i.e. non-English) players in their starting line-ups. As is demonstrated in the above editorial of this month’s SCN, the non-White population of the UK is only about 7%, so the fact that the English women’s team starting line-ups consisted entirely of White English players and their full squad only contained two non-Whites therefore seems about right. Even if the percentage of non-Whites currently resident in the country was higher than it actually is (as the liberal establishment falsely tries to claim) we still do not believe that such foreign mercenaries should be allowed to play for the national team. The team after all is called the “England Women’s Football Team”, so surely therefore it should consist only of Englishwomen!

Now that the women’s national soccer team has shown the way by selecting only English players and then winning a major tournament, surely it is now time for the men’s team to follow suit. After all the only time that they have won a major international competition – the FIFA World Cup of 1966 – their entire squad consisted only of Englishmen!

SOUTH AFRICA AS IT REALLY WAS

A long-standing supporter has recently informed us about an excellent YouTube video entitled “These are South African”, which comprises film footage shot in South Africa during the halcyon days of the 1950s. It shows clearly what a wonderful country South Africa was at that time, and acts as an inspiration to all who strive to re-establish civilised rule in that beleaguered land.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.285: Mr. R. CAMERON of Belfast.

Mr. R. Cameron of Belfast, Northern Ireland, (alas we never knew his Christian name) was an early contact of the original South African Patriot magazine. He himself was evidently on the editorial board of the UVF’s magazine Combat, and a reciprocal exchange arrangement was agreed between the two publications. Alas the latest edition of The Imperial Patriot sent to Combat’s last known address in the Shankill Road has been returned to us as this address is evidently no longer operative. We wonder therefore whether anyone can inform us of the new postal address for either Mr. Cameron or the magazine Combat?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

FRIENDLY ADVICE

Sir,

As always, thanks for the interesting articles which you have circulated. The only thing which I slightly disagree with would be over-estimating President Putin's knowledge of history, or at least some of his generals. Before I write what I am thinking, I want to say that I am a friend of Russia and would love to see it someday, should I live long enough. My view of modern Russia is very similar to the view you published..

Yet, that all said, (and please forgive me for using simplistic terms as I am not an expert on Russia) Sun Tzu warned in The Art of War thousands of years ago never to get bogged down in long, protracted campaigns. Sun Tzu's book has been taught to many Western militaries since it was translated a long time ago, and I've read it. The Art of War goes on ad nauseum about tactics to get in and win quickly, but looking at how this Civil War unfolded, someone did not pay much heed to those lessons.

However, there are also some tactical mistakes which bring back memories of past military mistakes which I was surprised the Russian Military made. Unless multiple news sources were misleading me, the pictures of long, fragile supply lines (entire tank processions) slowly going down one long road (which is child's play to block) should be a lesson that President Putin, of all people, should have known as decades ago Russia's own military took advantage of that same mistake in WWII to help defeat Hitler. Those photos (early on in the war) really surprised me and someone on Russia's side clearly planned very poorly.

Tactically speaking, another clear mistake was failing to take out the Ukraine's current government as that is always a must to win wars efficiently, or stage an effective coup. (The government and its communications all must be secured quickly, and that clearly did not happen, so now instead of a quick win, the war will be much longer and far more costly.)

But finally, in my eyes, the biggest other mistake President Putin tactically made was rather surprising. Of all people, President Putin should have remembered how the Ukraine residents united in the face of past disasters and realized that they may well do that again, and since he failed to destroy the Ukraine government and their communications, the Ukraine residents rallied behind their leadership and they united, just as they have in the past. The Russian President (or his generals) also clearly forgot that they have not ruled the Ukraine in several decades now, so many of their maps and knowledge were growing outdated, which again allowed the Ukraine residents to badly stymie the Russian Military and again extend a war. (If you haven't ruled a territory since 1991, how do your troops know that the tunnel which used to be a shortcut now might be sealed at the end, or that useful backways and alleys might have been changed, etc.? It's a classic miscalculation and little details like that can vastly extend any war, and to some extend it looks to me like, on the ground, the average Russian troops lacked such local knowledge and paid very dearly.)

Thus, putting all of those mistakes together, while I wish the Russian President the best and actually do understand why he went to war (I read the RT & Russian sources of news), the bottom line that I see is that Russia's Military and/or President Putin should have planned their military campaign very differently. I am no military genius, yet there were indeed a shocking number of rookie mistakes made by Russia's military planners, or the Kremlin itself. Even I have enough military knowledge and knowledge of history to spot these mistakes, and that much, at least, is certainly not propaganda as I respect Russia and (unlike most Americans) see their side in this.

I will conclude my controversial analysis by stating that I do hope this war ends soon. I also don't really see the Ukraine quite as its own country due to its history, so I see this as more of a Civil War. However, I too am looking to Russia and parts of Eastern Europe as my eventual haven, if I live long enough and am well enough to immigrate someday. America is on a dangerous road and, if the shambolic Biden Administration is not careful, anyone of President Biden's handlers or any appreciable American involvement in the war could spark a miscalculation and then we really might be in WWIII much sooner than we think. President Trump was quite right to warn how close to WWIII we really are. History shows all it will take is 'one shot heard round the world,' and then you've got a World War.

Yet, my final statement is dispassionate, unconcerned with the players on any battlefield and straight out of The Art of War/Sun Tzu. If you start a war, you never want a long war as the costs will be enormous to everyone. If you start a war, you want to be very certain you can get in and win quickly. And finally, as a war has been started, what history( particularly the fall of Nazi Germany) shows is clear - now you have to win because the cost of significant defeat can be grave for the leadership which started the war. Either win the war you started, or the end could go very badly someday for those who started it. (a la Nurenberg, etc.)

I wish the Russian President well.

Yours etc.,

Prof. Jason Jellison, Bangkok, Thailand

MORE HARD-HITTING ADVICE

Sir,

Whilst Russia remains under the control of Putin and his cronies it is unlikely that this great country will enjoy peace and prosperity. Living standards across Russia continue to drop as wealth is accumulated by a very small number of people despite abundant natural resources and energy supplies.

The illegal war in Ukraine has been a military disaster for Putin. His troops are suffering more losses than were incurred in Afghanistan partly due to widespread corruption resulting in poorly maintained kit and partly because young conscripts have no idea what they are trying to achieve.

So let’s wish that Ukrainians will be victorious and defeat the illegal invasion.

Yours etc.,

Hugh Counsell London EC1

IMMIGRANT PROBLEM

Sir,

Immigration into the White World from mainly third-world territories has been a globalist policy for ideological reasons ever since 1945. They won't stop. The notion that “BoJo” and Patel, neither of them of fully British origin by the way, have any serious interest or intent in stopping this is risible. They are just laughing at the British plebs.

In our case it started with Attlee's British Nationality Act in 1948 and has continued more or less unabated ever since. The only period which saw some meaningful reduction was under Mrs Thatcher. Blair re-opened the floodgates.

It is absolutely key in their quest to destroy the nation state through cultural subversion and balkanisation.

Yours etc.,

Peter Lindsay, Reigate, Surrey, U.K.

THE “WHITE RHINO CLUB” (Mk 1) – LIFE AFTER DEATH?

In the September 2020 Edition of the SCN, in an article entitled “The ‘White Rhino Club’ (Mk.1) – What went wrong?”, we detailed the history of the Durban-based White Rhino Club – the White Rhino Club (Mk.1).

In this article we recounted how, although the organisation was founded with high-expectations in January 1980, and quickly generated much interest within patriotic circles around the Western World, it collapsed less than a couple of years after its foundation, the collapse being caused by the combined disruptive activities of three inadequates among its Executive Committee – a security services asset infiltrator, a Roman Catholic nutter and a delusional trouble-maker.

Even though Michiel Falck (aka Mr.J.Wilson) – the tower of strength behind the whole organisation – attempted unsuccessfully to re-constitute the organisation in 1983, and although of course the White Rhino Club (Mk.2) was founded in the UK in 1991 (which of course subsequently merged with the Rhodesian Forum to form today’s Springbok Club), as far as South Africa was concerned the organisation was never heard of again after the early 1980s.

Or at least this was thought to be the case until very recently, as a short while ago we were informed that Mr.& Mrs.Brian Hurt had been terming themselves The Independent White Rhino Club! We don’t know how old this piece of information was, nor indeed whether Mr.& Mrs.Hurt are still alive. We do know however that they were still alive and living in the “new” South Africa (a surprising thing to learn in view of the fact that they always claimed to be opposed to a racially-integrated South Africa!) as recently as 2012, and their delusional friend Ken Lawson as recently as 2013. Brian Hurt, of course, proved totally unable to perform his duties as Chairman after he took over the position following the sad death of Bill Griffiths in 1980, and his wife Lynn (aka Lynn Howe) was also clearly incapable of administering or running any organisation.

We wonder therefore whether any of our readers have ever heard anything about The Independent White Rhino Club run by Brian and Lynn Hurt? Have they ever produced any publication, have they ever held any meeting, have they ever had any Internet presence? – or, as we suspect, was this title simply another example of a deranged delusion on their part, similar to the deranged delusion of their friend Ken Lawson when he accused another original White Rhino Club ExCo member of trying to seduce his girl-friend!

July 2022 Edition.

SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

July 2022 edition

When Mr. Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson was first elected leader of the British Conservative Party – and thereby UK Prime Minister – we were initially filled with great hope and optimism. He after all had spearheaded the “Vote Leave” campaign which enabled Britain to escape from EU entanglement and was viewed by many as “Britain’s Donald Trump”. He was charismatic, humorous and an Old Etonian with a common touch. In short he seemed to be a true and ideal British patriot of the type which Britain sorely needed in these current troubled times.

Alas the first signs that he was not all which he seemed emerged immediately when he announced his first cabinet, as it was full of non-White foreigners – those whom Kipling accurately termed “the lesser breeds”. These people of course have no moral right to be in the country, let alone in the government! Johnson had evidently expressed the desire whilst a small child to become “King of the World”. He therefore perhaps thought that he was holding this hypothetical position when he formed his first cabinet, but alas the only result of this stupidity was to squander all the goodwill which he initially held from his natural support-base of British conservative patriots!

As his premiership progressed, however, he made two further fundamental errors which only confirmed that he was not suitable for the job. Firstly he went along with all the international hysteria regarding the so-called “Covid-19” pandemic, imposing lunatic “lockdowns” and insisting that people go around wearing ridiculous facemasks, instead of taking a far more measured and sane reaction to this new flu strain as the leaders of Sweden and Belarus did. The unnecessary economic and social disruptions to the country have been catastrophic of course – not only through the immediate cost-of-living crisis, but more significantly through all the long-term loans which were necessary in order to pay for all the astronomically high “furlough” payments and other unbudgeted benefits. These loans will of course take generations to pay back, and will mean that a decades-long economic depression faces the British people.

Johnson’s other fundamental error has been his biased and one-sided attitude towards the Russian/Ukrainian conflict, with seemingly no attempt being made to consider both sides of the story. Post-Brexit Russia was of course Britain’s most natural and beneficial ally on the European continent, but now alas this opportunity for a strong economic and security alliance has been destroyed. Britain’s energy and food supplies have therefore been severely restricted, and this of course only adds to country’s economic woes – both short-term and long-term. Mr. Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson will undoubtedly now go down into history as a tragic character of Shakespearian proportions.

But it is the resulting Conservative leadership election which is now of greatest concern. It seems as if every astonishing non-White Conservative MP has been infected with delusions of grandeur and has put their names forward to be next Conservative leader. This of course has made the Conservative Party a laughing-stock among the electorate as a whole, and as a result whoever emerges as leader – be they British or foreign – stands no chance of winning the next General Election. One is left wondering of course how these unqualified foreign nonentities were ever chosen as Conservative candidates in the first place, and were then elected by the Conservative-supporting electorate? All it means is that unless something is done fast to change the Party then the same fate will befall it as befell the Italian Christian Democrats and the French Gaullist RPR/UMP!

Although we are of course totally opposed to socialism and realise that the Labour Party is almost as badly infected with foreign MPs as the current Conservative Party, we even so believe that it is in Britain’s best interests that a General Election is held soon, and that the only viable alternative government, Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, is elected with a massive majority. This will give a five-year breathing space for either the Conservative Party to reform itself and to return to being a genuine British patriotic party as it was up until the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, or alternatively – perhaps preferably – for the various component parties which emerged from the collapse of UKIP to get their act together and to form a united and genuinely patriotic alternative party. ------------------------------------------------------------------

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

The Springbok Club staged a most enjoyable and enthralling trip to the London Canal Museum last month. After viewing all the fascinating exhibits at the museum the Springbok Club party were treated to an enlightening tour of the nearby locality, where the organisation’s treasurer, Susan Gordon, described and explained some of the artistic sights of the area, before the party adjourned to a historic hostelry for a convivial ending to the day.

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

Alas the planned guest speaker for the Springbok Club’s annual Rhodes & Founders Day buffet-meeting will not be able to attend on the scheduled date after all, so the event has therefore had to be postponed, probably until August. The Springbok Club will still be celebrating Rhodes & Founders this year however, with an informal gathering to be held in the downstairs “Snug Room” of The Antelope, 22 Eaton Terrace, Belgravia, London SW1W 8EZ, during the evening of Thursday 21st July, at which a couple of members of the organisation with strong Rhodesian connections will be recounting something of their experiences of that great country.

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

If the Springbok Club’s buffet-meeting cannot be re-scheduled in August then the organisation will be staging a trip to the Hythe Venetian Fete in Kent later during that month. In September the organisation will be staging the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony, this time at a site associated with Lieut. E.C. “Teddy” Tindale-Biscoe RN, who of course first raised the Union Flag at the site which subsequently became Salisbury on 13th September 1890. It is believed that he is probably buried in a family plot in Oxfordshire, and if his grave can be located there then this is where this year’s ceremony will take place. If not then the ceremony will be held at Swanage in Dorset where he spent the final few years of his life and died. Further details about both these events will of course be given in next month’s SCN.

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

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS

The Patriotic Forum is planning to hold a meeting to be addressed by a recently retired British Army officer during August. The organisation is also organising a meeting to be addressed by an eminent EuroSceptic activist during October. Details about both these events will of course be announced in future editions of the SCN once finalised.

HUMAN/LION CONFLICT MITIGATION PROJECT

We have recently been informed about an estimable initiative being mounted in Merrueshi, Kenya (pronounced ‘Keen-ya’) called the “Human/Lion Conflict Mitigation Project” which seeks to end the needless slaughter of Lions in Kenya by controlling the encroachment of human settlements onto the natural environment of the Lions. Inevitably this initiative has met with criticism from the egalitarian “politically correct” brigade who claim that it advocates population control in Kenya, but we believe that the protection of wild Lions in Africa is in the interests of all mankind, and therefore encourage full support for this campaign. Their “change.org” web-site can be accessed at :-

MORE E.C.B. WITCH-HUNT MADNESS

Following the well-reported witch-hunt against Yorkshire C.C.C. by the trouble-making Pakistani cricketer with a chip on his shoulder, Azeem Rafiq, the England & Wales Cricket Board have now kow-towed to another bout of “politically correct” madness by suspending Mr. Chris Kelly, their Professional Umpires’ Manager.

So what was Chris Kelly’s “crime”? He evidently made the humorous remark that he could only see Devon Malcolm, a Negro former player, when he smiled. Although this was a rather feeble joke, the reaction to it by all normal and rational people would be to laugh – but to Devon Malcolm, rather like to Azeen Rafiq, any reference to his race seems to be regarded as an insult!

Devon Malcolm then went on to complain that no non-White professional umpires had been appointed to the ECB’s first-class panel since 1992, without seeming to comprehend that being a professional umpire is a very rigorous and intellectually challenging occupation which very few people – especially non-Whites – have the intellectual capacity and stamina to perform. Most bizarrely of all, however, Devon Malcolm complained that whilst taking his young son around the country to play in youth matches he never saw any other Black players. Does Mr. Malcolm not realise, we wonder, that Britain is a White man’s country, and that outside a few inner-city ghetto areas to view any Negro is a rarity?

We believe that both Azeem Rafiq and Devon Malcolm should stop trying to make martyrs of themselves and should shut up, and that Chris Kelly should be immediately reinstated to his former position and paid suitable compensation for his unjustified suspension.

THE U.K. THEME PATRIOTIC MEDLEY

A subscriber from Surrey has recently reminded us about the UK Theme Patriotic Medley which used to be played every morning before the start of the BBC’s Today radio programme. The UK Theme was a fantasia arranged by Fritz Spiegel of traditional tunes representing the four home countries of the United Kingdom, as well as the national maritime tradition. Alas the daily playing of this theme ceased in 2007 at the height of the “politically correct” era, but now is surely the time to mount a campaign to have it re-instated. The entire medley can be listened to at :-

LATEST FALKLANDS NEWS

We have recently been informed about a circular released by the Falklands Island Association regarding a most interesting book which has been published about the Falklands Island War of 1982. Their information reads as follows :-

“You may be interested in a new book published to mark 40 years since the Falklands Conflict - Fight for Falklands Freedom: Reporting Live from Argentina and the Islands by Harold Briley, the journalist who broke the story on the BBC World Service and brought the Falklands saga to life.

“Fight for Falklands Freedom both recounts events and explains the attitude of the Falklands before and since the conflict, and the activities of the Argentine dictatorship intent on getting sovereignty. Harold himself was a BBC political, defence and foreign correspondent for 30 years, making 12,000 broadcasts, and filing the Falklands conflict for the US, Canada and South Africa.

“Harold was also Editor of the FIA's Newsletter for many years and is a long-standing member of the Association.”

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.284: Snr. ALEX CEJNAR of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Alex Cejnar was a most interesting character who was an early subscriber to S.A.Patriot magazine. Although he lived in Brazil he was evidently of Hungarian origin, and took great interest in the South African struggle – as well as other patriotic struggles around the world - publishing regular contact information in all his circulars. Alas his recent copy of The Imperial Patriot has been returned to us as he is evidently no longer resident at his last known address, but it would be very interesting to learn what has happened to him.

CIVIL WAR PRELUDES

Sir,

As for Biden-Harris: I think they will go down in American history as one of the worst administrations we ever had. They may even wind up being worse than President Buchanan.

HOW SWEET TO BE AN IDIOT

Sir,

What a stinking nation of idiot kaffirs who can not even run a sweet shop without stealing the roof after they eat all the sweets South Africa has become. “Azania” is doomed, and we as ex-pats are laughing and dance with glee and delight. They do not value real education, just fake university documents makes them feel important. Not long now before the bridges and dams will fall down, as the terrorist state has no concept of maintenance in the last 28 years.

I was thinking that Rhodesia/Zimbabwe would be the bread-basket of Africa if ZANU/PF (Mugabe) had let the White farmers prosper and produce non-GMO corn and other exportable crops. Same applies to White South African farmers. Now Zimbabweans will pay for costly imports, if they are available, due to their racist removal of White farmers from the land.

Ukraine is the world’s largest exporter of sunflower oil, the fourth largest exporter of corn and the fifth largest exporter of wheat. Together, Russia and Ukraine produce more than half of the world’s supply of sunflower oil and 30% of the world’s wheat.

Some 45 African and least-developed countries import at least a third of their wheat from Ukraine or Russia, with 18 of them importing at least 50%.

Prior to the current crisis, prices for fuel and fertilizer had been rising. It was clear before COVID and the war in Ukraine that long global supply chains and dependency on (imported) inputs and fossil fuels made the prevailing food system vulnerable to regional and global shocks.

FACT CHECK

Sir,

The article "The End of an Attempted Rebellion" [April SCN – Ed.] was excellent. Factual and very reasonable considering the gross betrayal of the rebels and damage they caused to our movement. Well done!

FRUITY COMMENTS

Sir,

Well I have news for you. South Africa’s fruit industry is loosing billions of dollars. No export of fruit to Russia, one of the biggest tax-cows for the ANC terrorists All the farm kaffirs will be out of work. I smile in glee as the fruit will rot or be sold-off half-price Millions will smile and wait as the ANC terrorists create their failed state It was just 3 years ago that Ramaphosa, the leader of the ANC, said South Africa will build 20 new mega cities of the future! Natal today has been flooded. I watched videos of bridges and roads destroyed like toys under a boot. The best Natal video was of a kaffir taxi swept off a bridge. Packed Hi-Ace taxi full of screaming munts sailing down the river as it submerged, oooh the glee and wonder! South Africa is heading for no harvests, seeing as the farmers have no money for fuel for their tractors for the planting season..

Yours etc.,

CASH INJECTIONS

Sir,

You accurately state: “The severity of the Covid-19 virus has been exaggerated – indeed we have been totally lied to about its danger”. [April SCN – Ed.]..

A money making racket from the Medicrats.

OBITUARIES

PHIL BENNETT

Philip “Phil” Bennett, who sadly died last month, was one of the greatest fly-halfs which the game of Rugby Union has ever produced.

He played 414 times for Llanelli (he was a “one-club man” at senior level), scoring 2.535 points, and played 29 times for Wales, scoring 181 points and captaining his country to three 5-nations championship titles. He also made 8 international appearances for the British Lions, captaining the team on their 1977 tour of New Zealand.

He had the unenviable task as succeeding the great Barry John as Wales and British Lions fly-half following Barry John’s unexpected – and many believe far too premature – retirement, but it is testament to the man’s talent that he eventually equaled the great man’s reputation, and indeed surpassed many of his achievements.

Phil Bennett played in two of the most famous games of all time, Llanelli’s 9-3 victory over the awesome New Zealand All Blacks in 1972, and the “greatest try of the century” Barbarians’ match against the same opposition in 1973, when he actually started the move which led to Gareth Edwards’ iconic try. But perhaps Phil Bennett’s greatest achievement was being part of the British Lions’ 1974 touring party to South Africa, “The Invincibles” when he played in all four Internationals. It should never be forgotten that all players selected for this touring party had to endure massive intimidate from far-Left quasi-terrorists if they agreed to show solidarity with their South African kith-and-kin by touring the country, and so all tour members therefore deserve to be remembered as noble heroes.

Probably the only stain on Phil Bennett’s Rugby career was the hysterical anti-English “motivational” speech which he gave as Welsh captain to his fellow team-members prior to the Wales v. England international in 1977. For a man who had played with such pride and distinction for the pro-Union British Lions such a rant was particularly unexpected, though to be fair he subsequently admitted that this diatribe was far too far “over the top”!

After his playing career was over he became a popular and respected media-man, both writing regular newspaper columns and working as a pundit for BBC Wales. He also proved to be a dedicated family man, and our sincere condolences are extended to his widow Pat and his two sons.

ANDY GORAM

It was with great sadness that we learnt of the recent death of Andy Goram, the highly-talented Rangers and Scotland goalkeeper, at the tragically early age of only 58.

Although Andrew Lewis “Andy” Goram was born at Bury in Lancashire, and played for several soccer clubs in both England and Scotland, he gained international recognition for Scotland as a result of his Scottish parental roots. It was as a Rangers player that he is most famed however, playing for the club between 1991 and 1998 and fully embracing the club’s Loyalist ethos. He loved Northern Ireland and was a regular visitor to Belfast, where he expressed his full support for the Unionist cause. .

In total Andy Goram played 260 games for Rangers, being part of the Rangers squad which won five Scottish League titles, three Scottish Cups and two Scottish League Cups. He also played 43 international games for Scotland, being a member of the Scotland squad at two World Cups. The true worth of the man and his playing skills is demonstrated by the fact that he gained the nickname of simply “The Goalie” and by the fact that he was once voted Rangers’ greatest ever goalkeeper.

Andy Goram was also a gifted cricketer, being a fine left-hand batter and a useful right-arm medium pace bowler. He played for several clubs in both the Lancashire and Scottish leagues, and was also capped five times for Scotland, including against the 1989 touring Australians. He is the last person to have gained international honours for Scotland at both Association Football and Cricket.

Andy Goram was a great sportsman and a great British patriot, and deserves to be remembered with honour.
