SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
September 2015 edition
At times we feel just like Cassandra – able to foretell the future, but destined never to be believed. Rarely has this scenario been better demonstrated than in relation to the current invasion – and there is no better word to describe what is happening other than INVASION – of the European continent by swarms of third-world migrants. Upon re-reading the editorial of the June 2015 edition of the SCN it seems as if we were able to predict exactly how this festering problem was about to escalate exponentially – yet sadly painfully few people were prepared to listen to us.
To be sure, we received a large number of complimentary comments regarding this editorial, but sadly we also received a couple of criticisms from pea-brains who still seem unable to grasp the surely patently obvious fact that it was the over-speedy withdrawal of Western forces from Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, and the reprehensible failure of the West to intervene in Syria, which led directly to the current migrant crisis engulfing Europe, and not the deployment of Western forces in the first place. Don’t these people have the common sense to realize that British and other Western forces have been fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan in order to defeat the ISIS/ISIL descendents of the Ba’athist regime and the Taliban terrorists who all seek to destroy Western culture, freedom and civilization – and that their basic tactic (after having persuaded the cowardly politicians of the West to allow them to remain intact in their homelands) is to orchestrate the frightening migrant invasion of Europe which we are witnessing today?
But it is not so much the actual Islamic migrant invasion itself where our predictions have been proved so cataclysmically correct, but rather – just as was predicted in the prophetic book The Camp of Saints – the manner in which such a large number of self-hating Europeans have positively welcomed this invasion of their own countries and the resulting threat to the future well-being of their children. We have watched with disbelief as groups of Europeans have held up signs saying “Welcome Refugees” – in spite of the fact that the vast majority of the swarm are not refugees but economic migrants and terrorist plants. Just what is wrong with these people? Are they mad, are they traitors, are they racial-masochists – or perhaps a combination of all three? Then we have watched with anger as Frau Merkel made the highly irresponsible statement that Germany was prepared to take in 800,000 of these mainly Islamic “refugees”. Just what is wrong with Germany? Twice during the last century Germany initiated unprovoked wars against other European nations in order to destroy their independence, freedom and identities, and now they seem to be aiming for exactly the same results by foisting hundreds of thousands – perhaps even millions – of unwanted alien immigrants across the whole of the European continent. There certainly seems to be a devil lurking somewhere within the German soul.
Happily all is not doom and gloom however. Hungary – brave and defiant little Hungary – has had enough and has sealed its border to the swarm, and furthermore has been fully supported by most other eastern European nations. The Danish government has placed adverts in Lebanese and other Arab newspapers telling the would-be migrants that they will not be allowed to enter Denmark without legal authority, and much the same message has evidently been sent by both the Belgium and Dutch governments. In Britain David Cameron has announced that only 20,000 migrants will be allowed to settle in the UK over the next five years – far too many for most British people of course (indeed one poll encouragingly showed that well over 30% polled said that they wanted zero admitted!), but far preferable to Frau Merkel’s 800.000, and not nearly sufficient for the liberal-leftist self-haters. Furthermore much of the UK press seems firmly opposed to any “open door” policy.
But what of the future? We received one fair criticism following our June editorial in which we advocated the re-establishment of the great European Empires throughout the third world, stating that this was far too unrealistic in the short-term. Fair comment. What we believe is needed immediately is therefore threefold. Firstly the “Welcome Refugees” zombies must be confronted head-on and shown that the “open doors” policy which they advocate will only result in increasing suffering and misery among the present most needy people of Europe. Charity, after all, should always begin at home. Secondly the Western governments must be encouraged to re-intervene militarily throughout the Middle East, most notably in order to destroy ISIS/ISIL and the Talaban, and thereafter to re-establish order and good governance in those lands from which the current migrant swarms mainly originate. Thirdly a rapid and thorough repatriation programme must be pursued throughout Europe to return all migrants and their families to their countries of origin once more safe and peaceful environments have been restored.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The Springbok Club was most proud to organize a pleasant get-together to welcome several family members of the late and great Owen Parvess on their trip to the UK last month. It was most encouraging to learn from Phyllis Parvess, Owen’s widow, how much she admired the efforts of the Springbok Club, and it is hoped that this will herald greater involvement with the organization from members of the Parvess family and their friends. Although in many ways most poignant because of his recent premature death, it was even so most inspirational to learn more details about Owen’s life and career, and one piece of news which was found particularly touching was the fact that they had brought some of Owen’s ashes over to the UK with them, and had managed to scatter them under one of the goalposts at Twickenham.
----------------------------
For a second year the Springbok Club was most honoured to be invited to participate in the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony in Norfolk. This event, which commemorates the founding of the colony of Rhodesia in what became Salisbury in September 1890, again proved a highly enjoyable and inspiring event. Mr. Peter Sladden and his gallant team of supporters must therefore be heartily congratulated upon organizing such a splendid celebration. The ceremony itself, which was expertly conducted by the Parade Commander Mr. Graham Gillmore (ex RLI) of the Springbok Club consisted of a re-enactment of the Raising of the Union Flag in Salisbury by Rhodesian-born Ms. Sophia Sladden, a short religious service, the playing of both the British and Rhodesian National Anthems by the Cromer and Sheringham Brass Band, a rousing speech by the current Organiser of the Springbok Club and the firing of a 21-gun salute. We hope that next year even more friends and supporters will be able to attend this most important ceremony – so please try to diarise the nearest Sunday to 13th September in future years.
----------------------------
The Springbok Club is planning a trip to the Victoria & Albert Museum in South Kensington, London SW7 2RL (nearest tube station: South Kensington) on Wednesday 30th September in order to attend a lunchtime lecture being given about Capt. Linnaeus Tripe, the renowned photographer of India and Burma. Under the auspices of the East India Company during the 1850s Tripe took many photographs of archaeological sites and monuments, and ancient and contemporary religious and secular buildings, as well as geological formations and landscape vistas not seen before in the West. This lecture will take place between 13.00 hrs and 13.45 hrs, but those wishing to attend are asked to assemble between 12.15 hrs and 12.30 hrs inside the V&A in order to view the pictures prior to the actual lecture. Later during the afternoon the Springbok Club party plans to adjourn to a near-by hostelry for refreshments, before taking a stroll through Hyde Park.
----------------------------
In October the Kent Branch of the Springbok Club plans to stage an activity, which may take the form of a braai or may be a visit to some sites of historical interest. During November the organization will be holding its annual UDI Day celebration when the guest of honour will be a prominent ex-Rhodesian, and in December will be holding an event in order to commemorate the Day of the Vow. The Springbok Club’s 2016 AGM will be held next January.
------------------------------------------------------------------
SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
The Swinton Circle would like to thank all those members and supporters who have expressed outrage over the disruption which wrecked the organisation’s attempted meeting of 31st July, and for their support to the organization in overcoming all the resulting difficulties. In view of what happened at this disastrous event, and more particularly the total lack of support which he received from other Committee members when he tried to eject two of the uninvited attendees who were causing so much trouble, the Organiser of the Swinton Circle has therefore decided that he has no alternative other than to resign from this position. We look forward therefore to hearing from the Chairman and/or the Secretary of the organizations with details about the 2015 AGM (which according to the organisation’s constitution must be held in either October or November) which hopefully will be able to sort out all the difficulties, so that information may be announced in next month’s SCN.
[ We have recently learnt that the shadowy stranger who issued unauthorized “invitations” to the problematic Swinton Circle meeting of 31st July was named Jack Buckby. Does anyone know anything about this mysterious character we therefore wonder? ]

NEW BRITAIN NEWS
As New Britain is currently in the process of re-locating to plush new offices, all activities have therefore been suspended for the next few weeks. Needless to say, full details about all forthcoming New Britain activities will be given in future editions of the SCN.

LATEST REPORT FROM THE ZIMBABWE CONSEERVATION TASK FORCE
We have recently received the following report from the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, which we believe many readers will be interested in :-
UPDATE ON ELEPHANT EXPORT
The baby elephants are still in Hwange National Park awaiting exportation to China. Apparently baby elephants are still being captured. The cages have now been moved close to the entrance of the bomas, which is an indication that the movement will start very soon.
4 ELEPHANTS SHOT
About a week ago, a government minister organised for 4 elephants to be shot in Hwange National Park. The tusks were taken and the carcasses left in the park to rot. Poaching has escalated in Zimbabwe and we believe the government is involved because they need money to pay the wages of the civil servants. Zimbabwe is breaking her own laws on wildlife. Instead of looking after the animals with a view to marketing tourism, they are destroying it by selling skins and ivory etc to overseas buyers.
HIPPO POOLS
Iain Jarvis, the founder and proprietor of Hippo Pools in Umfurudzi, has apparently been thrown out. National Parks have refused to renew Iain's lease and he has been told to leave.
ELEPHANTS KILLED IN BUMI HILLS
3 elephants were recently shot in Bumi Hills. Their tusks were taken.
THERESA WARTH
We sent out a notice yesterday about the tragic death of Theresa Warth. Theresa was known as an elephant whisperer and she lived on a farm in Chiredzi where she had endless problems with the government trying to take her farm away. Despite all the hardships, she stayed on and fought to keep the farm. She had 30 elephants, 5 of which she tamed. She went to the USA to train to be a caretaker of the wildlife and she did an amazing job in Chiredzi. I went to her farm on a few occasions and I have never met anyone so passionate about the wildlife - she was a true hero and the world has lost one of its best conservationists.
RORY YOUNG
Rory Young was asked to train various Zimbabweans in the art of anti-poaching in order to stop the scourge in Zimbabwe. He was based in Kariba and was training the police, army and National Parks. A couple of weeks ago he was interrogated by the CIO who threatened him with his life if he didn't leave Zimbabwe. He has now moved with his family to Holland and he is still training people in other countries. Rory says don't be fooled by reports of Zambians coming into Zimbabwe and poaching the wildlife, because this is actually being done by the CIO and the Zimbabwean government.
IVORY TRADE
A Chinese lady is doing huge damage to our wildlife and environment. She is running a big poaching business here and smuggling ivory and elephant products to her companies in China. She pays professional hunters US$1,000 and locals US$300 to shoot elephants and bring the ivory etc to her. She then falsifies documents and exports the goods to China.

SPORTS NEWS
We have for long been amazed how it is that the “new” South Africa apparently continues to produce so many world-class sportsmen, in spite of the fact that the country is now in chaos, where even an evening’s trip to a training session means taking one’s life in one’s hands. This is particularly the case with Golf, where players with South African designations always seem to be predominant in all major tournaments – but closer investigations reveal that most, if not all, of these top Golfing “South Africans” now live and are based in either the US or the UK. In Lawn Tennis top South Africans are now very rare however – except for the sole exception of Kevin Anderson, currently ranked No.12 in the world. Now comes news that Kevin Anderson has applied for US citizenship however, so that he doesn’t have to be associated with the “new” South Africa any longer. Full marks to Kevin Anderson therefore – but why don’t more of the leading “South African” golfers do likewise, for by continuing to be designated in this way they only give credit to a failed state where their kith and kin continue to suffer.
Whilst on the subject of Lawn Tennis, it was very interesting and encouraging to note that Great Britain’s Davis Cup semi-final against Australia took place in Glasgow during the first anniversary of the Scottish referendum on independence – which of course the Unionist cause won decisively by 55.3% to 44.7%. At this fixture the Stirling University “Barmy Army” were present in massive numbers, who together with the vast majority of the rest of the Scottish crowd were resplendent in Union Flag-themed outfits. It was also very significant to note that although neither of them made any public announcements about their voting intentions in 2014 (in spite of SNP attempts to claim that they were on their side) both Murray brothers were euphoric in their enthusiasm to play for a united Great Britain team. The nationalists therefore certainly seem to have passed the peak of their support!
------------------------------------------------------------------
PETITION AGAINST IMMIGRATION
A supporter has recently forwarded us on-line petition details regarding a petition to the British Government entitled “Stop allowing immigrants into the UK”.. Although this petition has encouragingly already exceeded the required 100,000 mark, we believe that many of our supporters would like to add their weight to this noble campaign. The petition can be accessed at :-

------------------------------------------------------------------
1911 SOUTH AFRICAN CENSUS
We have recently learnt that all specific data from the first ever thorough South African Census, that of 1911, has now been destroyed. Census records from all other Western countries are of course retained for posterity, so this apparent destruction by the South African authorities therefore seems to be a piece of unforgivable historical vandalism. Does anyone know when and how this reprehensible action came about?

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

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.202 – Mnr. FRIKKIE STRAUSS of .Piketberg.
Frikkie Strauss was born and raised in South-West Africa. His parents had earlier moved and settled in SWA shortly after WWI following a request from the South African government of the day for volunteers to help develop this newly acquired former German colony. Frikkie Strauss became very active in the campaign by patriotic South-Westers to oppose the betrayal of their territory by successive sellout NP governments through the Turnhalle treason, and was editor of the patriotic SWA journal Die Stryder. He was a good friend of S.A.Patriot and Patriotic Press (who retailed copies of Die Stryder in South Africa itself), and during the late 1980s he gave a masterful speech about the betrayal of SWA by the NP traitors to a well-attended meeting of the Patriotic Forum in Durban, an event which attracted considerable coverage in the Natal press. Following the NP’s handover of SWA to the SWAPO terrorists Frikkie Strauss returned to his ancestral home in Piketberg, not believing that the NP government would be prepared to surrender their own country to terrorists in the same way, but alas as we all know such a surrender did in fact take place just a few years later. It would therefore be very interesting to learn what eventually happened to this great patriot.

RECOMMENDED WEB-SITE OF THE MONTH
We have recently been informed by our friends in the Get Britain Out organization about an excellent article written by Andrew Rosindell MP, the Conservative MP for Romford, entitled “Commonwealth Trade – A Thing of the Future”.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
TAKING A LIBERTY
Sir,
It was with great shock and anger that I read about the attack upon the July Swinton Circle meeting by members of the so called “Liberty GB” party. I’ve done a bit of investigation into this group and have discovered that a good exposé of their true nature can be found in an article entitled “Liberty it isn’t”. It is also interesting to note that the great leader of “LibertyGB”, one Paul Weston, only managed to obtain 158 votes when he stood in Luton West under their banner at the last General Election. Even an independent candidate managed to obtain 900 votes there!
Yours etc.,
George Freeman, London, U.K.
[ Undoubtedly had the Swinton Circle been aware of this article beforehand then LibertyGB would never have been invited to address them. Ed.]
----------------------------
COCKED ROBIN ……
Sir,
I was present at the chaotic Swinton Circle meeting which was infiltrated and disrupted by a group of despicable political extremists. You have my sympathy. The thing which disgusted me most though was the actions, or should I say the non-actions, of the Swinton Circle Chairman, whose name I believe to be Robin Willow. The fact that this man allowed the meeting to continue after non-members had disturbed proceedings by shouting out profanities and had refused to leave the meeting hall when instructed was deplorable, and even more outrageous was the fact that he allowed these ruffians to ask questions at the end of the meeting. Surely Mr. Willow’s position is now untenable.
Yours etc.,
A.G., London, U.K.
----------------------------
MERCENARY TALE
Sir,
One of the major factors in my early political development was the Angolan mercenary war and trial of 1976. I bitterly compared the way the Israelis saved their people at Entebbe with the way we failed to help ours in Angola, leaving them to a pre-arranged show trial resulting in the shooting of a madman, a cripple, and two other men, one of whom never fired a shot. I also remember that the "dogs of war" saved the Congo in the mid-60s. Am I defending mercenaries? No - I'm praising them. I believe that Mike Hoare's activities in the Congo and Tim Spicer's in Sierra Leone merited knighthoods; Colonel Hoare and his men might even have saved Mozambique if not for Vorster's appeasement policy. Colonel Barlow sounds like his successor. I also believe that one of the few worthwhile things Mark Thatcher ever did was his involvement in the "Wonga Coup" aimed against perhaps the worst dictatorship in the world. As for the morality of the mercenary trade - if people can be freelance journalists, why not freelance soldiers? Surely hiring volunteers is a lot more moral than conscription?
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.
----------------------------
CHURCHILLIAN VISON
Sir,
It’s good to hear a voice of reason – but I fear that voice is like a voice crying in the wilderness and few will take heed. In some ways it feels like 1939 before the outbreak of the War – but then at least we had Churchill who had the foresight to rearm as fast as possible: instead, today, in the face of this pending, imminent invasion, all our government can do is think of the budget and talk of defence cuts!
Yours etc.,
Dr Charles Muller, Selkirk, U.K.
----------------------------
POISONED CHALICE
Sir,
I found your lead article in the June edition of the SCN most interesting, although the last paragraph is a lot easier said than done.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup was not a disaster in itself, but showed that South Africa could indeed host such an event, as it did with the rugby and cricket tournaments before 2010. What is shocking is how South Africa was selected ahead of Morocco because it was able to make a more attractive bribe to the man who held the cards.
Yours etc.,
Johan Geelvink, Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa.

OBITUARY
FRANCIS ALAN ROSCOE BENNION M.A. (Hons., Oxon)
It was with much sadness that we recently learnt of the death of Mr. Francis Bennion earlier this year. Francis Bennion was born at Wallasey in Cheshire in 1923, and educated at the Lower School of John Lyon in Harrow. After a brief spell in banking he enlisted as soon as he could during WWII, serving with Coastal Command of the RAF as a pilot. After training in Canada he was posted to 221 Squadron, seeing service in Wales, North Africa and throughout the Mediterranean, and was once required to fly a Wellington Bomber from RAF St.Mawgan in Cornwall to North Africa – quite some responsibility for a young man in his early twenties in a plane which normally had a crew of six!
After demobilisation he decided to resume his education, eventually managing to study law at Balliol College, Oxford. Here he gained a BA in Law in 1949 and an MA (Hons) in 1954. He was called to the Bar at Middle Temple in 1951, and was awarded the Jenkyns Law Prize, the Younger Prize and the Paton Memorial Studentship at Balliol. A keen sportsman (he later became a member of the MCC), he also rowed in Balliol College’s 1st Eight.
Francis Bennion proved a highly accomplished lawyer who believed firmly in the Rule of Law all his life. He served in the Parliamentary Counsel Office from 1953 until 1965 and again from 1973 to 1975, where he was responsible for drafting many pieces of legislation, and even wrote the constitutions for Pakistan and Ghana when they became republics! He served as the Chief Executive for The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors for three years, but subsequently concentrated mainly upon lecturing and writing. His Magnum Opus was Bennion on Statutory Interpretation, a book of over 1800 pages which is still regarded as the standard legal reference work on the subject to this day. Francis Bennion never stopped working until the end of his life however, writing many other books including The Blight of Blairism (which he advertised in the SCN) and having over 150 letters published in The Times.
Perhaps Francis Bennion’s greatest and most important achievement, however, was a private prosecution which he brought against the unspeakable Peter Hain for criminal conspiracy during the early 1970s. Hain, of course, had been the main orchestrator of violent protests against visiting South African sporting teams, demonstrations which have been justifiably termed as quasi-terrorism. Alas the authorities at the time were reluctant to prosecute Hain for his clear public disorder offences, so it was left therefore to a private individual, Francis Bennion, to bring him to book. This was a very brave – and costly – action for Francis Bennion to take, but the odious Hain was eventually found guilty on one of the four charges and his wings were thus seriously clipped. It was through this courageous action of Francis Bennion that he first made contact with the Springbok Club. The wretched Hain had by that time sinisterly managed to work his way up in the hierarchy of the Labour Party, and had even managed to obtain ministerial rank. Most people had forgotten all about his criminal past it seemed, but through the endeavours of Francis Bennion and the Springbok Club the true facts about Hain’s reprehensible past were re-publicised. His political career then began to stall, and he received a humiliatingly low number of votes when he stood for the Labour Party Deputy Leadership. For a second time therefore Francis Bennion managed to clip the wings of this appalling creature.
Francis Bennion was therefore not only a great lawyer, but he was also a true hero of our times. His memory must therefore continue to be recalled as an inspiration by all British and South African patriots. Our sincerest condolences are therefore extended to his widow Mary, and our thanks are also given to her for being such a wonderful lifetime friend and soulmate to such a great man.

August 2015 Edition.
SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
August 2015 edition
Although the American Presidential Election of 2016 is still 15 months away, the battle to become the 45th President of the United States is already hotting up. Furthermore this contest could well prove to be America’s most vital election ever.
When Barack Hussein Obama was elected president seven years ago it was widely believed that this heralded the end of the United States as a Western nation, and that the country would never again elect a White president. There were many doom-mongers who stated that the racial demographics of the United States had already altered so radically that a non-White majority in the country would become inevitable in a few short years, and that Obama would therefore become only the first of many American leaders who would swiftly turn the country into a third-world state. Happily these extreme forecasts have not proved correct, as the numbers of non-Whites in the United States are clearly not as high as many fatalists maintain, and the reason for Obama’s election in 2008 was more because of the liberal leanings of the “politically correct” children of the 1990s rather than because of the ascendancy of non-White voters.
To be sure Obama’s administration has been a disaster for the United States and the West as a whole – most notably because of the withdrawal of US forces in the War against Terror, which of course has allowed the evil spectre of ISIS/ISIL and other Islamic terrorist movements to flourish – but it has not been fatal. The United States has survived, albeit greatly diminished in strength after two terms of Obama’s maladministration. More encouragingly, however, is the fact that practically all the main candidates of both major parties for the 2016 Election are White.
Surprisingly the Donkey Party doesn’t appear to have produced any non-White candidate to succeed Obama, but it is to the GOP where we must of course look for the true salvation of the United States and Western civilization as a whole. With such a large array of potential candidates already having thrown their hats into the ring for the GOP nomination we are afraid that we cannot make any truly informed choice between them, though from a distance there do appear to be several highly able and praiseworthy contestants among them. We will therefore leave it to those “on the spot” to decide which of these candidates is the best qualified. We will however remind everyone that there are two vital qualities which must be taken into account: 1) the candidate chosen must clearly be capable of defeating the Donkey Party candidate in November 2016, whoever he or she turns out to be, and 2) once elected they must have the will and ability to confront and resolve the most dangerous problem currently facing the United States, namely continuing non-White immigration and the consequent increase in the non-White percentage of the population. This of course not only means halting non-White immigration, but also initiating an effective programme of repatriation.
We therefore wish the true American people well, and trust that they will make the right choice in the GOP primaries, so that within a few short years they may be able to re-claim their county, and never again have to suffer under the likes of another Obama.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The proposed braai planned by the Kent Branch of the Springbok Club unfortunately had to be postponed until later during the year. Instead the Kent Branch of the organization staged a trip to the famous Whitstable Oyster Festival last month, which proved to be a highly enjoyable event.
----------------------------
On Tuesday 25th August the Springbok Club will be staging an informal get-together in central London at which the organization will be welcoming visiting guests from a well-known Rhodesian/South African family. All members and supporters of the Springbok Club in the London area will be informed of the precise details of this event in due course, but if anyone else would like to attend please e-mail for more information at: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk

In September the Springbok Club has again been invited to participate in the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony in Norfolk, whereat the Organiser of the organization has once more been invited to deliver one of the keynote speeches. In October the Kent Branch of the Springbok Club hopes to be able to stage its postponed braai, and in November the organization will be holding its annual UDI Day celebration, when the guest of honour will be a prominent ex-Rhodesian..

SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
As many readers will alas be aware, last month’s planned Swinton Circle meeting unfortunately proved to be a complete disaster. About 18 months ago a young Canadian joined the organization, and being highly impressed with his abilities, friendliness and apparent authentic support for the patriotic ideals of the organization he was “fast-tracked” onto the Committee. A short while ago he recommended that the Swinton Circle should make contact with an organization calling itself “Liberty GB” which he assured the rest of the Committee shared similar patriotic aims and objectives. Not doubting his assurances in this regard the Swinton Circle therefore made contact with this organization, though alas without checking its bona fides, and indeed invited their leader, a certain Paul Weston, to address its July meeting. Alarm bells started to ring when a complete stranger turned up for this meeting and announced that he was a member of a “splitist” political party called “The English Democrats”, which being the English equivalent of the SNP was therefore the complete antithesis to what the Swinton Circle stands for. Worries quickly escalated however, when a steady trickle of strangers – none of whom had been officially invited – starting arriving for this meeting, and when approached one unknown woman stated that she had been “invited” by a known and notorious neo-fascist extremist! In retrospect the meeting probably should have been called off at this stage, but the arrival of the guest speaker only confused and intensified the worrying situation even further. It was by then obvious that this “Liberty GB” outfit had seen fit to circulate “invitations” to a whole batch of extremist contacts without having the common decency to inform the Swinton Circle in advance! Even worse, the leader of this outfit arrived together with a BBC camera-crew who were evidently making a programme about him and what subsequently turned out to be his extremist views – again without having the common decency to inform the Swinton Circle about this action and to ask their permission. Worse was to follow however, for the known and notorious neo-fascist leader did as feared turn up himself, and a couple of other apparently well-known political extremists were also identified by one of the Swinton Circle member present. As the meeting began many authentic Swinton Circle members and supporters started to drift away, some because (as it later transpired) they didn’t like what they saw and heard, and others because they were alarmed at the fact that the meeting was being filmed. Intense discussions then took place between some Committee members, but with the meeting by then in full swing it was difficult to know what to do to remedy the terrible situation. After Weston had finished speaking and the temporary Chairman (the young Canadian) was wrapping up a couple of the uninvited gate-crashers started to disrupt proceedings by shouting out overt pro-Nazi slogans insulting Britain’s war effort during WWII. This was of course too much, and the Organiser of the Swinton Circle told these neo-Nazi scumbags that as they hadn’t been invited they must leave. This alas they totally refused to do, but even more sickeningly the young Canadian, who should of course have fully supported his fellow Committee member, seemed to side with the neo-Nazis and pushed his erstwhile colleague out of the way, thus indicating for the first time that his motivation in joining the Swinton Circle was not all that it seemed. With a heated confrontation by then having erupted there was no alternative other than to summon the management of the venue where the meeting was taking place to eject the uninvited trouble-makers, but alas the manager seemed to adopt a “six of one and half-a-dozen of the other” attitude and washed his hands of the whole situation, stating that the Swinton Circle were barred from ever holding meetings there again! The meeting thus ended in complete chaos, but an even worse spectacle was then witnessed, for the young Canadian was then seen quite brazenly chatting merrily away to one of the neo-Nazi trouble-makers! It then of course became crystal-clear that he had been in league with them right from the start, and that he himself was an extremist infiltrator whose aim was either to wreck or help takeover the Swinton Circle on behalf of the “Liberty GB” outfit, or for a wider neo-fascist grouping.
The Swinton Circle would therefore like to apologise to all its members and supporters who unfortunately witnessed the appalling scenes at this traumatic July meeting, and to assure everyone that prior to this disastrous meeting the organization had absolutely no idea about the true extremist nature of the so-called “Liberty GB” outfit. The Swinton Circle has now issued an official statement fully disassociating itself from “Liberty GB”, and of course now advises all decent people to be extremely wary of them. Happily it can also be reported that the young Canadian has now resigned from the Swinton Circle, thus confirming even further that he never had the true interests of the organization at heart.
In view of all the most unfortunate problems experienced at its July meeting the Swinton Circle has decided to suspend all activities until its AGM due to be held in October, when the whole sorry saga will be discussed in full and decisions will be made about how to increase security and prevent any similar infiltrations taking place in future (although the organization will be giving its full support to New Britain’s Gibraltar Day celebrations in September – see New Britain News section). This of course has not been the first occasion when neo-fascist elements have tried to infiltrate and takeover the Swinton Circle. In 2008 there was a similar attempt by a small group of previously barred undesirables, and as a result three members of the organization who were implicated had to be expelled. In 2010 this same group of malcontents attempted to gate-crash a Swinton Circle meeting to be addressed by Philip Hollobone MP in the Houses of Parliament complex, but happily with the assistance of the Police were rebuffed. We do not doubt therefore that the Swinton Circle will also be able to overcome this latest attempt to destroy the organization by enemies of liberty and the British nation (and there are indications that all these sabotage attempts are connected) and will bounce back stronger than ever!

NEW BRITAIN NEWS
New Britain is planning to stage its annual Gibraltar Day celebrations on or around September 10th. The Swinton Circle will of course be giving their full support to this event, and more precise information will be detailed in next month’s edition of the SCN.
----------------------------
As reported last month, New Britain has initiated a campaign advocating that the Republic of Ireland should rejoin the Commonwealth, and has encouraging all people of goodwill to write to the President of the Republic of Ireland asking him to consider taking such a step. The Swinton Circle has given its active backing to this campaign, and indeed has written the following letter to the President of the Republic of Ireland :-
“Dear Sir,
“One of your illustrious predecessors, Mary Robinson, once expressed interest in the idea of the Republic of Ireland re-joining the Commonwealth. Indeed when she visited the Commonwealth Games being held at Victoria in Canada during 1994 she made it clear that she would be delighted to see sportsmen and sportswomen from the Republic of Ireland competing at future Commonwealth Games.
“We believe that such a development has even more virtue now than it did when Mary Robinson first floated this idea. With the European Union currently experiencing grave economic and constitutional difficulties, it is clear to us that the Commonwealth offers a far better vehicle for international friendship and co-operation. We would ask you therefore to use your good offices to encourage the powers that be in the Republic of Ireland to start considering such a step.
“With players from throughout Great Britain and Ireland playing together for the British and Irish Lions Rugby teams and in the Walker Cup, with the Leinsterman Eoin Morgan currently captaining the England One-Day Cricket side and Nicolas Roche playing a pivotal role in the Sky Cycling Team which helped Chris Froome to win this year’s Tour de France, it is clear to us that what we have in common throughout these islands is far more important than that which divides us.
“We would furthermore like to mention that in 2013 the then Chairman of the Swinton Circle (now Organiser) was invited to take part in a debate at the Dublin University Philosophical Society, and was met with great friendship and hospitality on that occasion, which is still fondly remembered.
“We trust therefore that this suggestion of ours could be taken seriously, so that hopefully we will be able to see sportsmen and sportswomen from the Republic of Ireland competing at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast, Australia!
“Yours faithfully,
“( the Executive Committee of the Swinton Circle )”

LATEST MESSAGE FROM THE SANWILD WILDLIFE SANCTUARY
We have recently received the following message from the SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary, which we believe many readers will be interested in :-
“South Africa has become the most dangerous place in the world for lions. Persecuted, trapped and bred out like broiler chickens for commercial gain the King of the Beast has little to look forward to in their birth country. However on isolated pockets of land some are protected and can live wild and free. There are only a handful of lions that have found refuge and safety in a small sanctuary that have stepped up to the challenge to rescue and care for the innocent victims of a sordid and cruel industry that has become known as CANNED HUNTING.
“At SanWild we have dedicated ourselves for the past 17 years to rescue injured, orphaned, traumatized and misplaced wild animals. We are also the first organization in the world that worked with the South African Police Services and the conservation authorities that seized and removed illegally kept lions from breeding projects and hunting operations. Confiscated in the nick of time before hunters could butcher them, these very fortunate animals have lived in safety in large natural habitat enclosures at SanWild since 2003.
”The costs of keeping our rescued lions and ensuring that they are well fed and cared for is however very expensive. Our small organization receives no government support, neither are we supported by other large animal welfare charities. SanWild and our lions are totally reliant on the goodwill and generosity of kind-hearted people and animal lovers. We would like to invite you to join us for an online fundraiser to raise the necessary funds to continue to care for the SanWild lions.
Donations can be made from our main website www.sanwild.org or by following this link to our secure donations payment gateway :-

THE 2015 TOUR DE FRANCE
The SCN joins with the Swinton Circle in congratulating Chris Froome on his fantastic victory in this year’s Tour de France! This year’s Tour, however, was also notable for another not so pleasing reason, namely because of one of the wildcard teams selected was MTN-Qhubeka. This South African-based team was mainly noted for its African credentials (although not all its riders were from Africa). Nothing wrong in that of course – except that they made consistent references in their Tour propaganda to the late and unlamented South African terrorist leader Nelson Mandela – even staging a special celebration on what they termed “Mandela day”. Surely the evil terrorist leader Mandela should be the last person who one of the world’s premier sporting events such as the Tour de France would wish to be associated with? Even more reprehensible in this regard was the manner in which the MTN-Qhubeka team was constantly referred to as the first African-based team to compete in the Tour de France. This is not true. The South African-based Barloworld team competed in the Tour de France in both 2007 and 2008. Why was this error constantly made we wonder? Was it because the Barloworld team was sponsored by the long-established South African electrical and industrial conglomerate of the same name, which is mainly associated with South Africa from the days of civilised rule? (Incidentally, one of the directors of Barloworld during the 1970s was the late and great John Lundie, who following his retirement became a stalwart of the Durban-based Patriotic Forum, the predecessor organisation of today’s Springbok Club.)
Another interesting fact mentioned in the commentaries of this year’s Tour de France was that the great five-times winner Eddy Merckx of Belgium had given one of his children a Flemish name and another a French name in order to confirm his loyalty to the whole Belgian nation. At a time when the German-dominated EU is trying its utmost to split the great nation states of Europe (not only Belgium, but also the UK, France, Spain and Italy etc) it is most encouraging for patriots of all these great European nations to learn how a great sportsman such as Eddy Merckx has expressed his Belgian patriotism in such a tangible form.

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

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.201 – DES CHRISTIAN of Rhodesia.
Des Christian was the captain and scrum-half of the Rhodesian provincial Rugby side during the early 1970s, and indeed captained the national side against the touring British Lions in 1974 (which led to the amusing headline in the Rhodesian Herald “This Christian eats Lions”!).. Two years later he by chance met up with members of the famous party of (then) young British patriots who toured Rhodesia in order to express their solidarity with their Rhodesian kith and kin. In spite of his fame, and unlike alas so many top sportsmen, he was more than prepared to engage in friendly conversations with these young activists, an encounter which led to enduring fond memories for those involved. Strangely there appears to be no reference to Des Christian anywhere on the Internet, so we wonder therefore whether anyone knows how his playing career ended and where he is now?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ONE WITCH ONE VOTE
Sir,
As a supporter of Rhodesia in the 1970s, I must confess to a sardonic amusement at the way I've been vindicated by Zimbabwe. I doubt if Mugabe can be removed by the ballot box; however the votes go, he announces the results. If people there really believe that Joice Mujuru caused the drought by witchcraft it doesn't really say much for the sacred cow of one man one vote.
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.
----------------------------
CANAL RACE ……
Sir,
I lived in the Panama Canal Zone in the '50s and '60s, and it was very similar to South Africa in its racial separation. During the construction of the Panama Canal, Whites were paid in gold and other races were paid in silver. Housing was kept segregated through the designations of "gold housing" and "silver housing."
Yours etc.,
S.Byron Gassaway, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
----------------------------
GERRIE “JUSTICE”
Sir,
It was good of course to read of the release of Clive Derby-Lewis at last. I must take issue with you however when you state that the evidence laid against him “…. would never have stood up in the courts of any first-world country.” [see SCN July 2015]. Do I have to remind you of the recent show-trial and wrongful conviction of that great British patriot Michael Shrimpton on trumped-up charges?
Yours etc.,
R.W.W., London, U.K.

SENNAPODS ROOTS
Sir,
Did you know that the Jack Sen you referred to [see SCN July 2015] is a quarter Indian? This he boasts about himself.
Yours etc.,
Richard Windsor, Canterbury, Kent, U.K.
----------------------------
LAW OF THE JUNGLE
Sir,
This is EXACTLY what happened to me. I was waiting for the traffic light to change to green, looking in front and not at the sides of my car, and Mr. Air-Thief used a spark plug to break open the window on the passenger side and take my bag. The broken glass shattered into the automatic transmission mechanism and I couldn’t move the car. Cost me a fortune to get a tow-truck to come and move it, never mind the traffic hold-up behind me. He also had a gun.
Lost everything – ID book, credit cards, money and other papers. When I made application for another ID book replacement, I was told that I had been “married” to a Rumanian. The thieves steal the ID books then sell them onto illegal immigrants who use them to say to a magistrate at a marriage ceremony that the person in the book is going to be their wife, even though “she” doesn’t turn up at the marriage ceremony. But not to worry, the marriage officials are also corrupt and then they marry the Rumanian to me, for a ”fee” of course!
The whole bloody country is drowning in corruption, crime and third world filth.
Where are all the liberals now, the ones who called for a “democratic” South Africa? We don’t hear much from them, do we? Most are either overseas or are hiding in some small town in the South African countryside. Max du Preez, are you listening?
So much for the wonderful ”legacy” Mandela left to South Africa.
Yours etc.,
G.G.R., Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa.

IDENTIFYING THE ENEMY
Sir,
I feel upset when I see the ISIL bastards ruin Palmyra in Syria and museums in Iraq. The “Caliphate” has no right to exist. If these barbarians win, we will all be killed. Day by day, town by town, they destroy civilization around themselves. We Russians can come to some agreement with Ukraine, the USA and the EU, but we will never be able to come to an agreement with the ISIL bands and their masters (Saudi Arabian and UAE oligarchs). This is war not for peace, this is war for killing. ISIL is even worse than the German Nazis.
As I see it, today the Saudi regime is the "covert" supporter of al-Qa’eda and ISIL. In fact the UAE has become terrorist shelterers and suppliers. It is sad the Western leaders cannot see (do not want to see?) this evident destructive power in the Middle East.
Yours etc.,
Boris Grig, Kaliningrad, Russia

OBITUARY
CLIVE RICE
It was with deep sadness that we heard of the recent death of Clive Rice at the age of only 66. Clive Rice was a truly great cricketer and a really tough competitor. He played in South Africa mainly during the days of civilised rule, and was fully prepared to play for the Springboks against all of the visiting “rebel” sides of the 1980s, when some more “politically correct” players refused to do so. After the surrender of South Africa he was chosen as the first South African captain once the country was re-admitted into the international arena, but he only captained a Limited Overs side which toured India, and was never selected to play in any official Test Match. This was undoubtedly because of his close association with domestic cricket and the “rebel” tours during the late 1970s and 1980s. He also enjoyed much success playing first-class cricket in the UK, playing for and captaining both Nottinghamshire and Scotland, where he was hugely popular and gained many friends. It was therefore a big surprise when after he retired and had been diagnosed with a brain tumour that he chose to return to the “new” South Africa to end his days. His anger and frustration at the way that the country had developed became clear when he made open statements condemning the quota system, by which a certain number of non-White players have to be selected for the national and provincial teams regardless of ability, something which he termed “apartheid in reverse”. Clive Rice will be remembered in the hearts of all true South Africans long after the current generation of cricketers who have been prepared to kow-tow to the ANC regime are forgotten.

August 2015 edition
Although the American Presidential Election of 2016 is still 15 months away, the battle to become the 45th President of the United States is already hotting up. Furthermore this contest could well prove to be America’s most vital election ever.
When Barack Hussein Obama was elected president seven years ago it was widely believed that this heralded the end of the United States as a Western nation, and that the country would never again elect a White president. There were many doom-mongers who stated that the racial demographics of the United States had already altered so radically that a non-White majority in the country would become inevitable in a few short years, and that Obama would therefore become only the first of many American leaders who would swiftly turn the country into a third-world state. Happily these extreme forecasts have not proved correct, as the numbers of non-Whites in the United States are clearly not as high as many fatalists maintain, and the reason for Obama’s election in 2008 was more because of the liberal leanings of the “politically correct” children of the 1990s rather than because of the ascendancy of non-White voters.
To be sure Obama’s administration has been a disaster for the United States and the West as a whole – most notably because of the withdrawal of US forces in the War against Terror, which of course has allowed the evil spectre of ISIS/ISIL and other Islamic terrorist movements to flourish – but it has not been fatal. The United States has survived, albeit greatly diminished in strength after two terms of Obama’s maladministration. More encouragingly, however, is the fact that practically all the main candidates of both major parties for the 2016 Election are White.
Surprisingly the Donkey Party doesn’t appear to have produced any non-White candidate to succeed Obama, but it is to the GOP where we must of course look for the true salvation of the United States and Western civilization as a whole. With such a large array of potential candidates already having thrown their hats into the ring for the GOP nomination we are afraid that we cannot make any truly informed choice between them, though from a distance there do appear to be several highly able and praiseworthy contestants among them. We will therefore leave it to those “on the spot” to decide which of these candidates is the best qualified. We will however remind everyone that there are two vital qualities which must be taken into account: 1) the candidate chosen must clearly be capable of defeating the Donkey Party candidate in November 2016, whoever he or she turns out to be, and 2) once elected they must have the will and ability to confront and resolve the most dangerous problem currently facing the United States, namely continuing non-White immigration and the consequent increase in the non-White percentage of the population. This of course not only means halting non-White immigration, but also initiating an effective programme of repatriation.
We therefore wish the true American people well, and trust that they will make the right choice in the GOP primaries, so that within a few short years they may be able to re-claim their county, and never again have to suffer under the likes of another Obama.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The proposed braai planned by the Kent Branch of the Springbok Club unfortunately had to be postponed until later during the year. Instead the Kent Branch of the organization staged a trip to the famous Whitstable Oyster Festival last month, which proved to be a highly enjoyable event.
----------------------------
On Tuesday 25th August the Springbok Club will be staging an informal get-together in central London at which the organization will be welcoming visiting guests from a well-known Rhodesian/South African family. All members and supporters of the Springbok Club in the London area will be informed of the precise details of this event in due course, but if anyone else would like to attend please e-mail for more information at: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk
----------------------------
In September the Springbok Club has again been invited to participate in the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony in Norfolk, whereat the Organiser of the organization has once more been invited to deliver one of the keynote speeches. In October the Kent Branch of the Springbok Club hopes to be able to stage its postponed braai, and in November the organization will be holding its annual UDI Day celebration, when the guest of honour will be a prominent ex-Rhodesian..

SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
As many readers will alas be aware, last month’s planned Swinton Circle meeting unfortunately proved to be a complete disaster. About 18 months ago a young Canadian joined the organization, and being highly impressed with his abilities, friendliness and apparent authentic support for the patriotic ideals of the organization he was “fast-tracked” onto the Committee. A short while ago he recommended that the Swinton Circle should make contact with an organization calling itself “Liberty GB” which he assured the rest of the Committee shared similar patriotic aims and objectives. Not doubting his assurances in this regard the Swinton Circle therefore made contact with this organization, though alas without checking its bona fides, and indeed invited their leader, a certain Paul Weston, to address its July meeting. Alarm bells started to ring when a complete stranger turned up for this meeting and announced that he was a member of a “splitist” political party called “The English Democrats”, which being the English equivalent of the SNP was therefore the complete antithesis to what the Swinton Circle stands for. Worries quickly escalated however, when a steady trickle of strangers – none of whom had been officially invited – starting arriving for this meeting, and when approached one unknown woman stated that she had been “invited” by a known and notorious neo-fascist extremist! In retrospect the meeting probably should have been called off at this stage, but the arrival of the guest speaker only confused and intensified the worrying situation even further. It was by then obvious that this “Liberty GB” outfit had seen fit to circulate “invitations” to a whole batch of extremist contacts without having the common decency to inform the Swinton Circle in advance! Even worse, the leader of this outfit arrived together with a BBC camera-crew who were evidently making a programme about him and what subsequently turned out to be his extremist views – again without having the common decency to inform the Swinton Circle about this action and to ask their permission. Worse was to follow however, for the known and notorious neo-fascist leader did as feared turn up himself, and a couple of other apparently well-known political extremists were also identified by one of the Swinton Circle member present. As the meeting began many authentic Swinton Circle members and supporters started to drift away, some because (as it later transpired) they didn’t like what they saw and heard, and others because they were alarmed at the fact that the meeting was being filmed. Intense discussions then took place between some Committee members, but with the meeting by then in full swing it was difficult to know what to do to remedy the terrible situation. After Weston had finished speaking and the temporary Chairman (the young Canadian) was wrapping up a couple of the uninvited gate-crashers started to disrupt proceedings by shouting out overt pro-Nazi slogans insulting Britain’s war effort during WWII. This was of course too much, and the Organiser of the Swinton Circle told these neo-Nazi scumbags that as they hadn’t been invited they must leave. This alas they totally refused to do, but even more sickeningly the young Canadian, who should of course have fully supported his fellow Committee member, seemed to side with the neo-Nazis and pushed his erstwhile colleague out of the way, thus indicating for the first time that his motivation in joining the Swinton Circle was not all that it seemed. With a heated confrontation by then having erupted there was no alternative other than to summon the management of the venue where the meeting was taking place to eject the uninvited trouble-makers, but alas the manager seemed to adopt a “six of one and half-a-dozen of the other” attitude and washed his hands of the whole situation, stating that the Swinton Circle were barred from ever holding meetings there again! The meeting thus ended in complete chaos, but an even worse spectacle was then witnessed, for the young Canadian was then seen quite brazenly chatting merrily away to one of the neo-Nazi trouble-makers! It then of course became crystal-clear that he had been in league with them right from the start, and that he himself was an extremist infiltrator whose aim was either to wreck or help takeover the Swinton Circle on behalf of the “Liberty GB” outfit, or for a wider neo-fascist grouping.
The Swinton Circle would therefore like to apologise to all its members and supporters who unfortunately witnessed the appalling scenes at this traumatic July meeting, and to assure everyone that prior to this disastrous meeting the organization had absolutely no idea about the true extremist nature of the so-called “Liberty GB” outfit. The Swinton Circle has now issued an official statement fully disassociating itself from “Liberty GB”, and of course now advises all decent people to be extremely wary of them. Happily it can also be reported that the young Canadian has now resigned from the Swinton Circle, thus confirming even further that he never had the true interests of the organization at heart.
In view of all the most unfortunate problems experienced at its July meeting the Swinton Circle has decided to suspend all activities until its AGM due to be held in October, when the whole sorry saga will be discussed in full and decisions will be made about how to increase security and prevent any similar infiltrations taking place in future (although the organization will be giving its full support to New Britain’s Gibraltar Day celebrations in September – see New Britain News section). This of course has not been the first occasion when neo-fascist elements have tried to infiltrate and takeover the Swinton Circle. In 2008 there was a similar attempt by a small group of previously barred undesirables, and as a result three members of the organization who were implicated had to be expelled. In 2010 this same group of malcontents attempted to gate-crash a Swinton Circle meeting to be addressed by Philip Hollobone MP in the Houses of Parliament complex, but happily with the assistance of the Police were rebuffed. We do not doubt therefore that the Swinton Circle will also be able to overcome this latest attempt to destroy the organization by enemies of liberty and the British nation (and there are indications that all these sabotage attempts are connected) and will bounce back stronger than ever!

NEW BRITAIN NEWS
New Britain is planning to stage its annual Gibraltar Day celebrations on or around September 10th. The Swinton Circle will of course be giving their full support to this event, and more precise information will be detailed in next month’s edition of the SCN.
----------------------------
As reported last month, New Britain has initiated a campaign advocating that the Republic of Ireland should rejoin the Commonwealth, and has encouraging all people of goodwill to write to the President of the Republic of Ireland asking him to consider taking such a step. The Swinton Circle has given its active backing to this campaign, and indeed has written the following letter to the President of the Republic of Ireland :-
“Dear Sir,
“One of your illustrious predecessors, Mary Robinson, once expressed interest in the idea of the Republic of Ireland re-joining the Commonwealth. Indeed when she visited the Commonwealth Games being held at Victoria in Canada during 1994 she made it clear that she would be delighted to see sportsmen and sportswomen from the Republic of Ireland competing at future Commonwealth Games.
“We believe that such a development has even more virtue now than it did when Mary Robinson first floated this idea. With the European Union currently experiencing grave economic and constitutional difficulties, it is clear to us that the Commonwealth offers a far better vehicle for international friendship and co-operation. We would ask you therefore to use your good offices to encourage the powers that be in the Republic of Ireland to start considering such a step.
“With players from throughout Great Britain and Ireland playing together for the British and Irish Lions Rugby teams and in the Walker Cup, with the Leinsterman Eoin Morgan currently captaining the England One-Day Cricket side and Nicolas Roche playing a pivotal role in the Sky Cycling Team which helped Chris Froome to win this year’s Tour de France, it is clear to us that what we have in common throughout these islands is far more important than that which divides us.
“We would furthermore like to mention that in 2013 the then Chairman of the Swinton Circle (now Organiser) was invited to take part in a debate at the Dublin University Philosophical Society, and was met with great friendship and hospitality on that occasion, which is still fondly remembered.
“We trust therefore that this suggestion of ours could be taken seriously, so that hopefully we will be able to see sportsmen and sportswomen from the Republic of Ireland competing at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast, Australia!
“Yours faithfully,
“( the Executive Committee of the Swinton Circle )”

LATEST MESSAGE FROM THE SANWILD WILDLIFE SANCTUARY
We have recently received the following message from the SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary, which we believe many readers will be interested in :-
“South Africa has become the most dangerous place in the world for lions. Persecuted, trapped and bred out like broiler chickens for commercial gain the King of the Beast has little to look forward to in their birth country. However on isolated pockets of land some are protected and can live wild and free. There are only a handful of lions that have found refuge and safety in a small sanctuary that have stepped up to the challenge to rescue and care for the innocent victims of a sordid and cruel industry that has become known as CANNED HUNTING.
“At SanWild we have dedicated ourselves for the past 17 years to rescue injured, orphaned, traumatized and misplaced wild animals. We are also the first organization in the world that worked with the South African Police Services and the conservation authorities that seized and removed illegally kept lions from breeding projects and hunting operations. Confiscated in the nick of time before hunters could butcher them, these very fortunate animals have lived in safety in large natural habitat enclosures at SanWild since 2003.
”The costs of keeping our rescued lions and ensuring that they are well fed and cared for is however very expensive. Our small organization receives no government support, neither are we supported by other large animal welfare charities. SanWild and our lions are totally reliant on the goodwill and generosity of kind-hearted people and animal lovers. We would like to invite you to join us for an online fundraiser to raise the necessary funds to continue to care for the SanWild lions.
Donations can be made from our main website www.sanwild.org or by following this link to our secure donations payment gateway :-

THE 2015 TOUR DE FRANCE
The SCN joins with the Swinton Circle in congratulating Chris Froome on his fantastic victory in this year’s Tour de France! This year’s Tour, however, was also notable for another not so pleasing reason, namely because of one of the wildcard teams selected was MTN-Qhubeka. This South African-based team was mainly noted for its African credentials (although not all its riders were from Africa). Nothing wrong in that of course – except that they made consistent references in their Tour propaganda to the late and unlamented South African terrorist leader Nelson Mandela – even staging a special celebration on what they termed “Mandela day”. Surely the evil terrorist leader Mandela should be the last person who one of the world’s premier sporting events such as the Tour de France would wish to be associated with? Even more reprehensible in this regard was the manner in which the MTN-Qhubeka team was constantly referred to as the first African-based team to compete in the Tour de France. This is not true. The South African-based Barloworld team competed in the Tour de France in both 2007 and 2008. Why was this error constantly made we wonder? Was it because the Barloworld team was sponsored by the long-established South African electrical and industrial conglomerate of the same name, which is mainly associated with South Africa from the days of civilised rule? (Incidentally, one of the directors of Barloworld during the 1970s was the late and great John Lundie, who following his retirement became a stalwart of the Durban-based Patriotic Forum, the predecessor organisation of today’s Springbok Club.)
Another interesting fact mentioned in the commentaries of this year’s Tour de France was that the great five-times winner Eddy Merckx of Belgium had given one of his children a Flemish name and another a French name in order to confirm his loyalty to the whole Belgian nation. At a time when the German-dominated EU is trying its utmost to split the great nation states of Europe (not only Belgium, but also the UK, France, Spain and Italy etc) it is most encouraging for patriots of all these great European nations to learn how a great sportsman such as Eddy Merckx has expressed his Belgian patriotism in such a tangible form.

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

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.201 – DES CHRISTIAN of Rhodesia.
Des Christian was the captain and scrum-half of the Rhodesian provincial Rugby side during the early 1970s, and indeed captained the national side against the touring British Lions in 1974 (which led to the amusing headline in the Rhodesian Herald “This Christian eats Lions”!).. Two years later he by chance met up with members of the famous party of (then) young British patriots who toured Rhodesia in order to express their solidarity with their Rhodesian kith and kin. In spite of his fame, and unlike alas so many top sportsmen, he was more than prepared to engage in friendly conversations with these young activists, an encounter which led to enduring fond memories for those involved. Strangely there appears to be no reference to Des Christian anywhere on the Internet, so we wonder therefore whether anyone knows how his playing career ended and where he is now?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ONE WITCH ONE VOTE
Sir,
As a supporter of Rhodesia in the 1970s, I must confess to a sardonic amusement at the way I've been vindicated by Zimbabwe. I doubt if Mugabe can be removed by the ballot box; however the votes go, he announces the results. If people there really believe that Joice Mujuru caused the drought by witchcraft it doesn't really say much for the sacred cow of one man one vote.
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.
----------------------------
CANAL RACE ……
Sir,
I lived in the Panama Canal Zone in the '50s and '60s, and it was very similar to South Africa in its racial separation. During the construction of the Panama Canal, Whites were paid in gold and other races were paid in silver. Housing was kept segregated through the designations of "gold housing" and "silver housing."
Yours etc.,
S.Byron Gassaway, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
----------------------------
GERRIE “JUSTICE”
Sir,
It was good of course to read of the release of Clive Derby-Lewis at last. I must take issue with you however when you state that the evidence laid against him “…. would never have stood up in the courts of any first-world country.” [see SCN July 2015]. Do I have to remind you of the recent show-trial and wrongful conviction of that great British patriot Michael Shrimpton on trumped-up charges?
Yours etc.,
R.W.W., London, U.K.

SENNAPODS ROOTS
Sir,
Did you know that the Jack Sen you referred to [see SCN July 2015] is a quarter Indian? This he boasts about himself.
Yours etc.,
Richard Windsor, Canterbury, Kent, U.K.
----------------------------
LAW OF THE JUNGLE
Sir,
This is EXACTLY what happened to me. I was waiting for the traffic light to change to green, looking in front and not at the sides of my car, and Mr. Air-Thief used a spark plug to break open the window on the passenger side and take my bag. The broken glass shattered into the automatic transmission mechanism and I couldn’t move the car. Cost me a fortune to get a tow-truck to come and move it, never mind the traffic hold-up behind me. He also had a gun.
Lost everything – ID book, credit cards, money and other papers. When I made application for another ID book replacement, I was told that I had been “married” to a Rumanian. The thieves steal the ID books then sell them onto illegal immigrants who use them to say to a magistrate at a marriage ceremony that the person in the book is going to be their wife, even though “she” doesn’t turn up at the marriage ceremony. But not to worry, the marriage officials are also corrupt and then they marry the Rumanian to me, for a ”fee” of course!
The whole bloody country is drowning in corruption, crime and third world filth.
Where are all the liberals now, the ones who called for a “democratic” South Africa? We don’t hear much from them, do we? Most are either overseas or are hiding in some small town in the South African countryside. Max du Preez, are you listening?
So much for the wonderful ”legacy” Mandela left to South Africa.
Yours etc.,
G.G.R., Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa.
----------------------------
IDENTIFYING THE ENEMY
Sir,
I feel upset when I see the ISIL bastards ruin Palmyra in Syria and museums in Iraq. The “Caliphate” has no right to exist. If these barbarians win, we will all be killed. Day by day, town by town, they destroy civilization around themselves. We Russians can come to some agreement with Ukraine, the USA and the EU, but we will never be able to come to an agreement with the ISIL bands and their masters (Saudi Arabian and UAE oligarchs). This is war not for peace, this is war for killing. ISIL is even worse than the German Nazis.
As I see it, today the Saudi regime is the "covert" supporter of al-Qa’eda and ISIL. In fact the UAE has become terrorist shelterers and suppliers. It is sad the Western leaders cannot see (do not want to see?) this evident destructive power in the Middle East.
Yours etc.,
Boris Grig, Kaliningrad, Russia

OBITUARY
CLIVE RICE
It was with deep sadness that we heard of the recent death of Clive Rice at the age of only 66. Clive Rice was a truly great cricketer and a really tough competitor. He played in South Africa mainly during the days of civilised rule, and was fully prepared to play for the Springboks against all of the visiting “rebel” sides of the 1980s, when some more “politically correct” players refused to do so. After the surrender of South Africa he was chosen as the first South African captain once the country was re-admitted into the international arena, but he only captained a Limited Overs side which toured India, and was never selected to play in any official Test Match. This was undoubtedly because of his close association with domestic cricket and the “rebel” tours during the late 1970s and 1980s. He also enjoyed much success playing first-class cricket in the UK, playing for and captaining both Nottinghamshire and Scotland, where he was hugely popular and gained many friends. It was therefore a big surprise when after he retired and had been diagnosed with a brain tumour that he chose to return to the “new” South Africa to end his days. His anger and frustration at the way that the country had developed became clear when he made open statements condemning the quota system, by which a certain number of non-White players have to be selected for the national and provincial teams regardless of ability, something which he termed “apartheid in reverse”. Clive Rice will be remembered in the hearts of all true South Africans long after the current generation of cricketers who have been prepared to kow-tow to the ANC regime are forgotten.

July 2015 Edition.
SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
July 2015 edition
It was of course with great joy and relief that we recently heard the news that our good friend and great South African patriot Clive Derby-Lewis had been released from prison, albeit only on parole and with conditions which basically amount to house arrest. The message which we received from Clive’s wife Gaye informing us about this welcomed development reads as follows :-
“Clive was released on 5 June on medical parole, after a monumental court battle where the judge called the minister (who refused the medical parole application) dishonest and irregular, among other condemnations. What a vengeful, vicious bunch is the South African Communist Party neanderthals, right out of the politburo (but of course they enjoy the fruits of capitalism to the fullest!) Albert Schweitzer was right!
“So to keep him ‘buried’ they have sentenced him to house arrest. This is not parole of course. He’s not allowed to leave the house – can’t even attend church.
“However, Clive is at least out of prison and enjoying the sunshine and the QUIET. Nobody knows what it’s like in a South African prison. There is noise ALL THE TIME. They shout and they call and they play their music ad infinitum. So now after 22 years he has peace and quiet.
“He is bearing up well to his treatment.
“He will have his computer up and running soon so he can correspond with you himself.
“Thanks once again for your continued support and the support of your members and associates.
“Rest assured South Africa will slide down the slippery slope as we predicted. Why weren’t people listening?
“Anyway we take each day as it comes and Pretoria is such a beautiful place, we have wonderful indigenous trees and hibiscus and date palms in our garden, so it’s a real pleasure to enjoy a cup of tea on the grass and a chat with friends.
“Lots of love,
“Gaye”
Clive Derby-Lewis was of course convicted of the murder of the terrorist leader Chris Hani - although not even the prosecution tried to imply that he was directly involved in the elimination of this known terrorist, only that he allegedly supplied the weapon which was used to kill him. The evidence which was presented to convict him in this regard was however so flimsy that it would never have stood up in the courts of any first-world country. So why was the ANC regime so keen to incarcerate and thereby to silence the highly-respected former Conservative MP Clive Derby-Lewis? The reason is that he was by far the most articulate and popular English-speaking spokesman for the White South African opposition, as he constantly confirmed by his powerful oratory and non-stop dynamism opposing the NP’s sellout policies throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. The ANC regime could live with opposition from the Afrikaner community (and there were – and still are – many able and articulate Afrikaner resistance spokesmen), but if the Afrikaner opposition could be united with their British-South African brothers in a display of White Unity then the ANC’s hold on power could well be threatened. Clive Derby-Lewis was of course the most likely person to be able to galvanize this united opposition. This is why he had to be silenced.
Our movement has constantly tried to highlight Clive Derby-Lewis’s plight, and indeed were instrumental in trying to establish a “Free Clive Derby-Lewis Campaign” during the mid-1990s. We were however asked by his family to abandon this campaign as it was feared that it might damage their attempts to have him released through the courts. We of course complied with this request immediately. Since then, however, we have tried the best we could (though we must admit that at times we may have somewhat neglected his plight as other aspects of the struggle became more dominant) to remind everyone about the terrible ongoing persecution which he was experiencing, as several past editions of the SCN and S,A.Patriot-in-Exile will confirm.
We of course extend to Clive every good wish both for a happy and successful life free from captivity, and hope that both his health can improve and that the draconian conditions of his release will soon be relaxed. We would also like to extend to him our apologies for the fact that we never tried harder to try to ensure his release.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The Springbok Club gave its full support to New Britain’s Canada Day celebrations earlier this month, a full report about which appears in the New Britain News section below.
----------------------------
The Kent Branch of the Springbok Club aims to hold a braai to celebrate Rhodes and Founders Day later this month. All fully paid-up members of the Springbok Club and all supporters of the Kent Branch will be informed of the precise details of this event in due course, but if any other supporters would like to attend please let us know by e-mailing springbk@netcomuk.co.uk
----------------------------
On Tuesday 25th August the Springbok Club will stage a meeting in central London which will be addressed by a visiting guest speaker from a well-known South African family. In September the Springbok Club has again been invited to participate in the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony in Norfolk, whereat the Organiser of the organization has once more been invited to deliver one of the keynote speeches. In October the Kent Branch of the Springbok Club will be staging an interesting conducted tour of some of the historic sites in the Medway Towns, and in November the organization will be holding its annual UDI Day celebration, when the guest of honour will be a prominent ex-Rhodesian..
------------------------------------------------------------------
SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
The Swinton Circle was most honoured to be able to welcome Mr. James Lockwood as guest speaker for its June meeting, who gave a most riveting and eloquent talk about the life and career of Lord Carson (Sir Edward Carson). During the following questions and answers session Mr. Lockwood also told something about his experiences on the BBC Mastermind quiz programme, where his specialist subject had been the life and career of Lord Carson. We would therefore like to thank Mr. Lockwood for giving the organization such and informative and indeed inspiring talk about this great British patriot.
----------------------------
The details of the Swinton Circle’s July meeting are as follows :-
Date : Friday 31st July 2015
Time : 18.30 hrs for 19.00 hrs.
Venue : The Morpeth Arms (the upstairs “Spying Room”), 58 Millbank, London SW1P 4RW. (nearest tube station: Pimlico)
Guest Speaker : Mr. Paul Weston - the Party Leader of LibertyGB
Paul Weston was born in London and is currently leader of the increasingly prominent patriotic and EuroWithdrawalist party LibertyGB. As a highly respected writer for the Gates of Vienna web-site, he contributed many acclaimed articles highlighting the threat posed to the West by expansionist Islam. Mr. Weston stood as UKIP candidate for the Cities of London and Westminster constituency at the 2010 General Election before founding LibertyGB, for whom he stood as candidate in the South-East England EuroElection constituency in 2014. He also stood as their Parliamentary candidate for Luton South this year. He gave a highly impressive performance when interviewed by Andrew Neil on the BBC’s Daily Politics programme shortly before the General Election, and his speech following the recent PEGIDA march and rally at Newcastle-upon-Tyne was regarded by observers as a masterpiece. He rose to national prominence when he was arrested on the steps of Winchester Guildhall for quoting a passage from Sir Winston Churchill’s book “River War” which was highly critical of Islam – a ridiculous arrest which quickly resulted in no charges being leveled. Apart from politics he takes a keen interest in most sports, and enjoys a broad range of reading.
The title of his speech will be “The Threat from the Left”, though he will also touch upon the Islamic threat to British and European identity.

The Swinton Circle is delighted to announce that its book-selling arm – Swinton Books – is now fully up and running, with an Amazon Seller’s Profile upon which all books available are advertised now having been established. For more details please e-mail swintonbooks@gmail.com.

NEW BRITAIN NEWS
New Britain’s Canada Day reception, held earlier this month, proved a most enjoyable event, and New Britain’s National Chairman, Mr. Dennis Delderfield, deserves full credit for organizing these pleasant celebrations. This event comprised of a Canadian-themed quiz (which was won by this present writer!), a brilliant speech about the recent history of Canada given by Ottawa-born Paul Griffin, the reading of a message received from the Canadian High Commissioner in London, and the playing and singing of the Canadian National Anthem by members of the Heroes Band whilst the Canadian Flag was raised and dipped by Linda Dopston. Wine was also served to attendees, and letters of fraternal support with the Canadian people were signed to be sent to both the Canadian Prime Minister and the Canadian High Commissioner.
----------------------------
Details of New Britain’s forthcoming “Keep the United Kingdom United” pageant are as follows :-
Date : Monday 27th July 2015.
Time : 19.00 hrs.
Venue : St.Selphulcre’s Church Hall, Holborn Viaduct, London EC1 (diagonally opposite the Old Bailey).
Professional singers and dancers from England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales will be performing at this event, and the guests of honour will be Alderman Andrew Parmley (Sheriff of the City of London) and Mrs. Suzy Webb (Mayor of Spelthorne 2014/15).
Tickets cost £5.00 (which may be bought at the door), and for more information ‘phone: 020-72472524.
----------------------------
New Britain is also initiating a campaign advocating that the Republic of Ireland should rejoin the Commonwealth, and is encouraging all people of goodwill to write to the President of the Republic of Ireland, His Excellency Michael D. Higgins, at Phoenix Park, Dublin 8, asking him to consider taking such a step.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
KNIGHTHOOD CAMPAIGNS
We were greatly delighted to hear the news that Gareth Edwards, the great Wales and British Lions scrum-half, had been awarded a knighthood in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List. Sir Gareth Edwards took part in probably the two greatest British Lions touring sides of all time, those to New Zealand in 1971 and to South Africa in 1974. He is universally accepted to have been not only one of the greatest scrum-halves of all time but also a fine sporting gentleman – and furthermore it must always be remembered that in order to take part in the 1974 tour of South Africa he had to withstand and defy a tremendous amount of intimidation and threats from the political Left. Sir Gareth Edwards is not the only Rugby great from that era who we believe richly deserves a knighthood however, as Willie-John McBride who captained the “Invincibles” during the 1974 Tour surely also deserves such an accolade. A campaign to encourage the awarding of a knighthood to Willie-John McBride is therefore shortly to be launched, and the details will be announced in a future edition of the SCN once the campaign begins.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
WORRYING REPORT FROM “NETWORK FOR ANIMALS”
We have recently received the following most disturbing report from the respected Network for Animals animal welfare organization. We ask all our readers to do the best they can to highlight this appalling situation which is being allowed to continue in the “new” South Africa :-
“The rhino-poaching catastrophe in South Africa is continuing without pause, as evil gangs slaughter rhino for their horns, using everything from machetes to assault rifles. The South African government is refusing to reveal the latest statistics on rhino poaching but experts say as many as ten rhinos are dying every day.
“One reason rhino are being slaughtered are people in Vietnam, who wrongly believe that rhino horn powder is a magical cure-all. As we well know, it cures nothing but the greed of the poacher, and then only until their next brutal kill.
“The work we do is usually not glamorous or headline grabbing; we work with the authorities to help them make sensible laws and improve anti-poaching abilities. We assist orphaned rhino, help anti-poaching efforts, and we lobby for sanity to prevail. We need worldwide bans on the trade in rhino horn to be implemented, maintained, and most importantly: enforced.
“If we are unable to act with conviction, our grandchildren may think of rhino as we think of dinosaurs: A facet of history, never to be seen again.”

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

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.200 – Dr. COLIN BARLOW of Rhodesia.
Dr. Colin Barlow, a dentist by profession and a keen amateur golfer, was a leading member of the Rhodesian Action Party who opposed what they saw as the sellout tendencies within the Rhodesian Government during the late 1970s. Together with other great Rhodesian patriots such as Owen Parvess he founded the Rhodesia Movement which proposed a last-ditch federal solution to save the country, and in this capacity he toured South Africa under the auspices of the Save Rhodesia Campaign during late 1978 to encourage Rhodesians living in South Africa at the time to vote “NO” at the vital Rhodesian Constitutional Referendum of 30th January 1979. He gave a highly inspirational speech at the Fonteinebleau Room of the Blue Waters Hotel in Durban during this tour, and gained many admirers for his determined and forward-looking stance. It would be very interesting to learn what subsequently became of him.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
COMPARE AND CONTRAST
Sir,
I once had a letter published in TNT magazine defending Julius Malema's right to free speech in the face of prosecution by the South African government. I trust that he will not object to my exercising mine in this respect and saying that the man is one or more of the following - a demagogue, economic illiterate, race baiting, fool. I was a passionate supporter of Ian Smith and Rhodesia in the 1970s and consider myself to have been vindicated for the last few decades - and this maniac wants to bring his policies down South? Compare and contrast Rhodesia and Zimbabwe!
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.
----------------------------
ANOTHER BRIC IN THE WALL ……
Sir,
As the BRICS nations fall out of favor with the West over the next decade it will be possible for a new nation which has mineral wealth and a good sea harbour. (Richards Bay should do it I think) to arise. In the meantime I believe TB, HIV/AIDS, Ebola and a whole host of other nasty illnesses will spread far and wide amongst the Bantu rabble that proclaim the RSA “Azania”, and their lands will prove “no farmer no food” as they take the farms by force. The Bantu are an idiot race of criminal thinking people. You know the Swedish government and their doctors have proved that criminality and people who commit senseless crimes are really just mentally ill. This sums up Mandela and his nation of murdering Ubuntu idiots quiet well. The ANC terrorised South Africa with bombs, murders and burning people alive in public till they got the retards to vote for them out of fear. The ANC gangsters will probably be in power for another 25 years, then the masses of Bantu youth by the million will rebel quiet violently and chase them out of government. By this time South Africa will be in total ruins while another blood-thirsty mongrel climbs over thousands of burnt corpses to the top just like Mandela did with his crime syndicate the ANC.
Yours etc.,
Richard Windsor, Canterbury, Kent, U.K.

GOOD QUESTIONS
Sir,
The April edition of the SCN was an excellent issue!
I have Peter Griffith's book "A Question of Colour" published in 1966. It's a pretty good read. Why doesn't the Church speak out over the grooming of British girls in Rotherham by Pakistani men?!
Yours etc.,
John Walker, Horsham, Sussex, U.K.
----------------------------
END OF THE RAINBOW
Sir,
There is no underestimating the fact that those Whites remaining in South Africa are now in the cross-hairs of the Black majority. It is my belief that the political restraint exhibited towards Whites has ended.
Yours etc.,
Magnus, Westville, Natal, South Africa.

ROGUES GALLERY
As many readers may be aware, our movement and certain of our leading members have recently been subjected to a malicious and vindictive Internet harassment campaign. This all begun when one of leading lady officials contacted us warning us to beware of a certain Mr. Jack Sen, who had evidently initially been a UKIP candidate at the recent General Election, but who had subsequently been suspended by the Party, and was now apparently trying to latch onto and to ingratiate himself with the expatriate South African community. We therefore investigated Mr. Sen (or “Sennapods” as he subsequently became known), and discovered that he had indeed been suspended from UKIP membership – the reason being because of a number of repulsive anti-Semitic comments which he had uttered, specifically some of a more personal derogative nature which were directed at Ms. Luciana Berger, the Labour MP for Liverpool Wavertree, which were the subject of a Police investigation.
Sure enough, just a couple of days later we were contacted by Mr. Sennapods as pre-warned, though mysteriously he stated that he had been referred to us by a certain Mr. James Scrymgeour (Mr. Scrymgeour had previously attended a couple of Springbok Club and Swinton Circle meetings over the past 18 months, and indeed had always appeared a most friendly and genuine supporter – though significantly he had declined to join either organisation, and had objected to text messages being sent to him). Needless to say, we politely but firmly informed Mr.Sennapods that we did not wish to have any dealings with him. This was not only because of the unsavoury nature of his anti-Semitic stance which we had discovered, but also because he had openly stated that he was connected to an organisation called “The London Forum”. We had previously learnt something about this enigmatic outfit when they contacted us out of the blue towards the end and last year, but when we investigated them we discovered that in spite of their innocuous name they were in fact an overtly neo-fascist and indeed Holocaust-denying organisation, so we therefore of course declined their request for us to provide a speaker for one of their meetings!
The reaction of Mr. Sennapods to this rebuff can only be described as hysterical. He sent us a couple of abusive and threatening messages, in which inter alia he threatened to post smears about us on various unnamed American Internet forums which he claimed had large readerships. Sure enough, a couple of days later Mr. Sennapods sent us a copy of a defamatory item attacking us which had evidently been posted on an American web-site – but rather than being “large” this proved to be a totally obscure forum, and indeed was clearly of a rabid anti-Semitic nature! As one of our leading officials commented when he saw it, it was actually a “badge of honour” that we should be attacked by such vile people! The most bizarre aspect of this smear was the claim that our movement was not concerned about the plight of the Whites still trapped inside South Africa, and furthermore claimed that we denied that a genocide campaign against Whites was taking place! Such claims of course are the complete antithesis of the truth, as can so easily be disproved by examining all the documented records about our aims and activities over the past two decades! Anyone who could seriously believe and circulate these ridiculous lies must therefore be regarded as totally deranged! These disgusting smears however bear all the hallmarks of originating with the ANC regime, as we’ve known in the past that they’ve been spreading other similar such lunatic lies in order to try to discredit our movement with those still trapped in the “new” South Africa.
Shortly after Sennapods’ smear posting first appeared we started to be inundated with attacks both by e-mail and on our FaceBook page – but although initially very upsetting something very suspicious soon became obvious. The phraseologies used in all these attacks were very similar, and indeed in some cases the wording was totally identical. Quite clearly therefore they all originated from one source, though dozens of “sock puppet” names had evidently been used. This theory was further confirmed when after we had informed Mr. Sennapods that we would be contacting the Police to complain about his Internet harassment (something which we actually subsequently did) all these “sock puppet” attacks ceased just as quickly as they had begun!
The position of Mr.Scrymgeour in this whole sinister episode remains totally unclear, but what is clear to us is that just as was the case with the earlier evil smear campaign which we endured four years ago there seems to be a weird tie-up between the ANC regime and neo-Nazi cranks. At first though such a connection might seem highly unlikely, but both entities glory in the term “nationalist”, and of course both share a common paranoid hatred for the Jewish people. In view of the fact that we have reported Mr.Sen’s Internet harassment to the Police it is probably best not to comment at the moment about his suspected true intentions and motivations. All we will add is that what dumbfounds us most isn’t the fact that he was suspended by UKIP, but the fact that they ever selected him as a Parliamentary candidate in the first place!

July 2015 edition
It was of course with great joy and relief that we recently heard the news that our good friend and great South African patriot Clive Derby-Lewis had been released from prison, albeit only on parole and with conditions which basically amount to house arrest. The message which we received from Clive’s wife Gaye informing us about this welcomed development reads as follows :-
“Clive was released on 5 June on medical parole, after a monumental court battle where the judge called the minister (who refused the medical parole application) dishonest and irregular, among other condemnations. What a vengeful, vicious bunch is the South African Communist Party neanderthals, right out of the politburo (but of course they enjoy the fruits of capitalism to the fullest!) Albert Schweitzer was right!
“So to keep him ‘buried’ they have sentenced him to house arrest. This is not parole of course. He’s not allowed to leave the house – can’t even attend church.
“However, Clive is at least out of prison and enjoying the sunshine and the QUIET. Nobody knows what it’s like in a South African prison. There is noise ALL THE TIME. They shout and they call and they play their music ad infinitum. So now after 22 years he has peace and quiet.
“He is bearing up well to his treatment.
“He will have his computer up and running soon so he can correspond with you himself.
“Thanks once again for your continued support and the support of your members and associates.
“Rest assured South Africa will slide down the slippery slope as we predicted. Why weren’t people listening?
“Anyway we take each day as it comes and Pretoria is such a beautiful place, we have wonderful indigenous trees and hibiscus and date palms in our garden, so it’s a real pleasure to enjoy a cup of tea on the grass and a chat with friends.
“Lots of love,
“Gaye”
Clive Derby-Lewis was of course convicted of the murder of the terrorist leader Chris Hani - although not even the prosecution tried to imply that he was directly involved in the elimination of this known terrorist, only that he allegedly supplied the weapon which was used to kill him. The evidence which was presented to convict him in this regard was however so flimsy that it would never have stood up in the courts of any first-world country. So why was the ANC regime so keen to incarcerate and thereby to silence the highly-respected former Conservative MP Clive Derby-Lewis? The reason is that he was by far the most articulate and popular English-speaking spokesman for the White South African opposition, as he constantly confirmed by his powerful oratory and non-stop dynamism opposing the NP’s sellout policies throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. The ANC regime could live with opposition from the Afrikaner community (and there were – and still are – many able and articulate Afrikaner resistance spokesmen), but if the Afrikaner opposition could be united with their British-South African brothers in a display of White Unity then the ANC’s hold on power could well be threatened. Clive Derby-Lewis was of course the most likely person to be able to galvanize this united opposition. This is why he had to be silenced.
Our movement has constantly tried to highlight Clive Derby-Lewis’s plight, and indeed were instrumental in trying to establish a “Free Clive Derby-Lewis Campaign” during the mid-1990s. We were however asked by his family to abandon this campaign as it was feared that it might damage their attempts to have him released through the courts. We of course complied with this request immediately. Since then, however, we have tried the best we could (though we must admit that at times we may have somewhat neglected his plight as other aspects of the struggle became more dominant) to remind everyone about the terrible ongoing persecution which he was experiencing, as several past editions of the SCN and S,A.Patriot-in-Exile will confirm.
We of course extend to Clive every good wish both for a happy and successful life free from captivity, and hope that both his health can improve and that the draconian conditions of his release will soon be relaxed. We would also like to extend to him our apologies for the fact that we never tried harder to try to ensure his release.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The Springbok Club gave its full support to New Britain’s Canada Day celebrations earlier this month, a full report about which appears in the New Britain News section below.
----------------------------
The Kent Branch of the Springbok Club aims to hold a braai to celebrate Rhodes and Founders Day later this month. All fully paid-up members of the Springbok Club and all supporters of the Kent Branch will be informed of the precise details of this event in due course, but if any other supporters would like to attend please let us know by e-mailing springbk@netcomuk.co.uk
----------------------------
On Tuesday 25th August the Springbok Club will stage a meeting in central London which will be addressed by a visiting guest speaker from a well-known South African family. In September the Springbok Club has again been invited to participate in the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony in Norfolk, whereat the Organiser of the organization has once more been invited to deliver one of the keynote speeches. In October the Kent Branch of the Springbok Club will be staging an interesting conducted tour of some of the historic sites in the Medway Towns, and in November the organization will be holding its annual UDI Day celebration, when the guest of honour will be a prominent ex-Rhodesian..
------------------------------------------------------------------
SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
The Swinton Circle was most honoured to be able to welcome Mr. James Lockwood as guest speaker for its June meeting, who gave a most riveting and eloquent talk about the life and career of Lord Carson (Sir Edward Carson). During the following questions and answers session Mr. Lockwood also told something about his experiences on the BBC Mastermind quiz programme, where his specialist subject had been the life and career of Lord Carson. We would therefore like to thank Mr. Lockwood for giving the organization such and informative and indeed inspiring talk about this great British patriot.
----------------------------
The details of the Swinton Circle’s July meeting are as follows :-
Date : Friday 31st July 2015
Time : 18.30 hrs for 19.00 hrs.
Venue : The Morpeth Arms (the upstairs “Spying Room”), 58 Millbank, London SW1P 4RW. (nearest tube station: Pimlico)
Guest Speaker : Mr. Paul Weston - the Party Leader of LibertyGB
Paul Weston was born in London and is currently leader of the increasingly prominent patriotic and EuroWithdrawalist party LibertyGB. As a highly respected writer for the Gates of Vienna web-site, he contributed many acclaimed articles highlighting the threat posed to the West by expansionist Islam. Mr. Weston stood as UKIP candidate for the Cities of London and Westminster constituency at the 2010 General Election before founding LibertyGB, for whom he stood as candidate in the South-East England EuroElection constituency in 2014. He also stood as their Parliamentary candidate for Luton South this year. He gave a highly impressive performance when interviewed by Andrew Neil on the BBC’s Daily Politics programme shortly before the General Election, and his speech following the recent PEGIDA march and rally at Newcastle-upon-Tyne was regarded by observers as a masterpiece. He rose to national prominence when he was arrested on the steps of Winchester Guildhall for quoting a passage from Sir Winston Churchill’s book “River War” which was highly critical of Islam – a ridiculous arrest which quickly resulted in no charges being leveled. Apart from politics he takes a keen interest in most sports, and enjoys a broad range of reading.
The title of his speech will be “The Threat from the Left”, though he will also touch upon the Islamic threat to British and European identity.
----------------------------
The Swinton Circle is delighted to announce that its book-selling arm – Swinton Books – is now fully up and running, with an Amazon Seller’s Profile upon which all books available are advertised now having been established. For more details please e-mail swintonbooks@gmail.com.

NEW BRITAIN NEWS
New Britain’s Canada Day reception, held earlier this month, proved a most enjoyable event, and New Britain’s National Chairman, Mr. Dennis Delderfield, deserves full credit for organizing these pleasant celebrations. This event comprised of a Canadian-themed quiz (which was won by this present writer!), a brilliant speech about the recent history of Canada given by Ottawa-born Paul Griffin, the reading of a message received from the Canadian High Commissioner in London, and the playing and singing of the Canadian National Anthem by members of the Heroes Band whilst the Canadian Flag was raised and dipped by Linda Dopston. Wine was also served to attendees, and letters of fraternal support with the Canadian people were signed to be sent to both the Canadian Prime Minister and the Canadian High Commissioner.
----------------------------

New Britain is also initiating a campaign advocating that the Republic of Ireland should rejoin the Commonwealth, and is encouraging all people of goodwill to write to the President of the Republic of Ireland, His Excellency Michael D. Higgins, at Phoenix Park, Dublin 8, asking him to consider taking such a step.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
KNIGHTHOOD CAMPAIGNS
We were greatly delighted to hear the news that Gareth Edwards, the great Wales and British Lions scrum-half, had been awarded a knighthood in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List. Sir Gareth Edwards took part in probably the two greatest British Lions touring sides of all time, those to New Zealand in 1971 and to South Africa in 1974. He is universally accepted to have been not only one of the greatest scrum-halves of all time but also a fine sporting gentleman – and furthermore it must always be remembered that in order to take part in the 1974 tour of South Africa he had to withstand and defy a tremendous amount of intimidation and threats from the political Left. Sir Gareth Edwards is not the only Rugby great from that era who we believe richly deserves a knighthood however, as Willie-John McBride who captained the “Invincibles” during the 1974 Tour surely also deserves such an accolade. A campaign to encourage the awarding of a knighthood to Willie-John McBride is therefore shortly to be launched, and the details will be announced in a future edition of the SCN once the campaign begins.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
WORRYING REPORT FROM “NETWORK FOR ANIMALS”
We have recently received the following most disturbing report from the respected Network for Animals animal welfare organization. We ask all our readers to do the best they can to highlight this appalling situation which is being allowed to continue in the “new” South Africa :-
“The rhino-poaching catastrophe in South Africa is continuing without pause, as evil gangs slaughter rhino for their horns, using everything from machetes to assault rifles. The South African government is refusing to reveal the latest statistics on rhino poaching but experts say as many as ten rhinos are dying every day.
“One reason rhino are being slaughtered are people in Vietnam, who wrongly believe that rhino horn powder is a magical cure-all. As we well know, it cures nothing but the greed of the poacher, and then only until their next brutal kill.
“The work we do is usually not glamorous or headline grabbing; we work with the authorities to help them make sensible laws and improve anti-poaching abilities. We assist orphaned rhino, help anti-poaching efforts, and we lobby for sanity to prevail. We need worldwide bans on the trade in rhino horn to be implemented, maintained, and most importantly: enforced.
“If we are unable to act with conviction, our grandchildren may think of rhino as we think of dinosaurs: A facet of history, never to be seen again.”

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

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.200 – Dr. COLIN BARLOW of Rhodesia.
Dr. Colin Barlow, a dentist by profession and a keen amateur golfer, was a leading member of the Rhodesian Action Party who opposed what they saw as the sellout tendencies within the Rhodesian Government during the late 1970s. Together with other great Rhodesian patriots such as Owen Parvess he founded the Rhodesia Movement which proposed a last-ditch federal solution to save the country, and in this capacity he toured South Africa under the auspices of the Save Rhodesia Campaign during late 1978 to encourage Rhodesians living in South Africa at the time to vote “NO” at the vital Rhodesian Constitutional Referendum of 30th January 1979. He gave a highly inspirational speech at the Fonteinebleau Room of the Blue Waters Hotel in Durban during this tour, and gained many admirers for his determined and forward-looking stance. It would be very interesting to learn what subsequently became of him.

RECOMMENDED WEB-SITE OF THE MONTH
A supporter has recently forwarded us these most enlightening video-recordings presented by The Order of the Blue Sword, which although produced during the 1970s still accurately highlight many of the immigration problems which have re-surfaced during the post-Thatcher years. We believe that this will be of interest and will provide much useful background information for many of our readers, and can be accessed at :-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
COMPARE AND CONTRAST
Sir,
I once had a letter published in TNT magazine defending Julius Malema's right to free speech in the face of prosecution by the South African government. I trust that he will not object to my exercising mine in this respect and saying that the man is one or more of the following - a demagogue, economic illiterate, race baiting, fool. I was a passionate supporter of Ian Smith and Rhodesia in the 1970s and consider myself to have been vindicated for the last few decades - and this maniac wants to bring his policies down South? Compare and contrast Rhodesia and Zimbabwe!
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.
----------------------------
ANOTHER BRIC IN THE WALL ……
Sir,
As the BRICS nations fall out of favor with the West over the next decade it will be possible for a new nation which has mineral wealth and a good sea harbour. (Richards Bay should do it I think) to arise. In the meantime I believe TB, HIV/AIDS, Ebola and a whole host of other nasty illnesses will spread far and wide amongst the Bantu rabble that proclaim the RSA “Azania”, and their lands will prove “no farmer no food” as they take the farms by force. The Bantu are an idiot race of criminal thinking people. You know the Swedish government and their doctors have proved that criminality and people who commit senseless crimes are really just mentally ill. This sums up Mandela and his nation of murdering Ubuntu idiots quiet well. The ANC terrorised South Africa with bombs, murders and burning people alive in public till they got the retards to vote for them out of fear. The ANC gangsters will probably be in power for another 25 years, then the masses of Bantu youth by the million will rebel quiet violently and chase them out of government. By this time South Africa will be in total ruins while another blood-thirsty mongrel climbs over thousands of burnt corpses to the top just like Mandela did with his crime syndicate the ANC.
Yours etc.,
Richard Windsor, Canterbury, Kent, U.K.

GOOD QUESTIONS
Sir,
The April edition of the SCN was an excellent issue!
I have Peter Griffith's book "A Question of Colour" published in 1966. It's a pretty good read. Why doesn't the Church speak out over the grooming of British girls in Rotherham by Pakistani men?!
Yours etc.,
John Walker, Horsham, Sussex, U.K.

END OF THE RAINBOW
Sir,
There is no underestimating the fact that those Whites remaining in South Africa are now in the cross-hairs of the Black majority. It is my belief that the political restraint exhibited towards Whites has ended.
Yours etc.,
Magnus, Westville, Natal, South Africa.

ROGUES GALLERY
As many readers may be aware, our movement and certain of our leading members have recently been subjected to a malicious and vindictive Internet harassment campaign. This all begun when one of leading lady officials contacted us warning us to beware of a certain Mr. Jack Sen, who had evidently initially been a UKIP candidate at the recent General Election, but who had subsequently been suspended by the Party, and was now apparently trying to latch onto and to ingratiate himself with the expatriate South African community. We therefore investigated Mr. Sen (or “Sennapods” as he subsequently became known), and discovered that he had indeed been suspended from UKIP membership – the reason being because of a number of repulsive anti-Semitic comments which he had uttered, specifically some of a more personal derogative nature which were directed at Ms. Luciana Berger, the Labour MP for Liverpool Wavertree, which were the subject of a Police investigation.
Sure enough, just a couple of days later we were contacted by Mr. Sennapods as pre-warned, though mysteriously he stated that he had been referred to us by a certain Mr. James Scrymgeour (Mr. Scrymgeour had previously attended a couple of Springbok Club and Swinton Circle meetings over the past 18 months, and indeed had always appeared a most friendly and genuine supporter – though significantly he had declined to join either organisation, and had objected to text messages being sent to him). Needless to say, we politely but firmly informed Mr.Sennapods that we did not wish to have any dealings with him. This was not only because of the unsavoury nature of his anti-Semitic stance which we had discovered, but also because he had openly stated that he was connected to an organisation called “The London Forum”. We had previously learnt something about this enigmatic outfit when they contacted us out of the blue towards the end and last year, but when we investigated them we discovered that in spite of their innocuous name they were in fact an overtly neo-fascist and indeed Holocaust-denying organisation, so we therefore of course declined their request for us to provide a speaker for one of their meetings!
The reaction of Mr. Sennapods to this rebuff can only be described as hysterical. He sent us a couple of abusive and threatening messages, in which inter alia he threatened to post smears about us on various unnamed American Internet forums which he claimed had large readerships. Sure enough, a couple of days later Mr. Sennapods sent us a copy of a defamatory item attacking us which had evidently been posted on an American web-site – but rather than being “large” this proved to be a totally obscure forum, and indeed was clearly of a rabid anti-Semitic nature! As one of our leading officials commented when he saw it, it was actually a “badge of honour” that we should be attacked by such vile people! The most bizarre aspect of this smear was the claim that our movement was not concerned about the plight of the Whites still trapped inside South Africa, and furthermore claimed that we denied that a genocide campaign against Whites was taking place! Such claims of course are the complete antithesis of the truth, as can so easily be disproved by examining all the documented records about our aims and activities over the past two decades! Anyone who could seriously believe and circulate these ridiculous lies must therefore be regarded as totally deranged! These disgusting smears however bear all the hallmarks of originating with the ANC regime, as we’ve known in the past that they’ve been spreading other similar such lunatic lies in order to try to discredit our movement with those still trapped in the “new” South Africa.
Shortly after Sennapods’ smear posting first appeared we started to be inundated with attacks both by e-mail and on our FaceBook page – but although initially very upsetting something very suspicious soon became obvious. The phraseologies used in all these attacks were very similar, and indeed in some cases the wording was totally identical. Quite clearly therefore they all originated from one source, though dozens of “sock puppet” names had evidently been used. This theory was further confirmed when after we had informed Mr. Sennapods that we would be contacting the Police to complain about his Internet harassment (something which we actually subsequently did) all these “sock puppet” attacks ceased just as quickly as they had begun!
The position of Mr.Scrymgeour in this whole sinister episode remains totally unclear, but what is clear to us is that just as was the case with the earlier evil smear campaign which we endured four years ago there seems to be a weird tie-up between the ANC regime and neo-Nazi cranks. At first though such a connection might seem highly unlikely, but both entities glory in the term “nationalist”, and of course both share a common paranoid hatred for the Jewish people. In view of the fact that we have reported Mr.Sen’s Internet harassment to the Police it is probably best not to comment at the moment about his suspected true intentions and motivations. All we will add is that what dumbfounds us most isn’t the fact that he was suspended by UKIP, but the fact that they ever selected him as a Parliamentary candidate in the first place!

June 2015 Edition.
SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
June 2015 edition
In 1973 an apocalyptic novel was published in France entitled The Camp of Saints, written by Jean Raspail. The basic synopsis of this novel centred upon a mass co-ordinated invasion of France, and indeed Europe as a whole, by millions of third world minions. This novel was widely criticized at the time as being unrealistic and unbelievable – but now, some forty years later, it is coming true, as masses of poverty-stricken Africans and Arabs attempt to cross the Mediterranean in order to encamp themselves in Europe!
Make no bones about it, these “boat people” are not refugees – they are invaders. Just because they don’t carry weapons doesn’t mean to say that their aim isn’t the same as that of previous Islamic invaders of Europe, such as the Moors and the Ottomans. Their aim is to conquer and supplant the indigenous population of Europe, and to impose their own repressive religion upon the continent.
Recently we read a most devastating article in a publication entitled Vanishing England (No.10 – 20.2.2015) which revealed that the current “boat people” migration across the Mediterranean was all part of a deliberate plan by the Islamic Caliphate not only to invade Europe, but more specifically to seize Rome. Ever since an earlier Caliphate seized Constantinople in 1453, the article went on to illustrate, it has been the aim of Muslims to capture that other leading Christian city of Europe – Rome. The current Caliph, Abu-Bakr Al-Baghdadi (the spiritual head of ISIS/ISIL in northern Syria and Iraq) is furthermore on record as stating on 13th November 2014 “The Jihadists will continue their advance until, by God’s will, they reach Rome” [English translation from original Arabic]. Now of course we know that most of our readers will not have much time for the theological position and global power of the Vatican, but it must be accepted that their hierarchy is basically European, and they are therefore infinitely preferable to any Arabic Muslim theocrats who aim to take their place.
Perhaps the most frightening aspect in the storyline of The Camp of Saints was the manner in which so many indigenous Europeans not only passively accepted the third world invasion of their homelands, but in many cases even positively welcomed them! Again we see sickening parallels taking place in real-life today. Instead of immediately transporting all the “boat people” rescued from the Mediterranean back to the countries from which they embarked (Libya, and to a lesser extent Syria), the Italian and other EU authorities incredibly transport them on to the lands which they intended to reach, and unbelievably allow them to stay there! But the extent of assistance given to the Islamic invasion by the liberal/leftist forces in Europe actually goes even further than this. The demonstrations organized by the liberal/leftist “rent-a-mobs” against Western interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya have intimidated Western leaders into withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan far too early, not taking any necessary military action in Syria, and not putting any “boots on the ground” in Libya following the overthrow of an earlier would-be Caliph – Gadaffi. Had Western leaders not bowed to the self-hating demands of the liberal/left protestors then it follows that, with Western forces in control, there would not have been any power-vacuum in Iraq, Syria and Libya, and thereby no opportunity for the “boat people” to launch their invasion ventures from these countries.
Alas however it is not only the overt liberals and leftists who have been guilty of complicity with the invasion. Many self-styled right-wing and/or patriotic leaders – most notably Mr. Nigel Farage, the current leader of UKIP (as we pointed out in the May edition of the SCN) - have openly sided with the “rent-a-mob” pro-Islamic fellow-travellers by criticizing the limited Western intervention in Libya and opposing similar military action in Syria. Such incredible stances adopted by so-called anti-immigration leaders have been at best so naïve that the proponents forfeit all right to be taken seriously, or else they demonstrate a hypocrisy which is beyond belief. Needless to say, we view such hypocritical pseudo-patriots with even more contempt than we view the more obvious liberal/left!
But what needs to be done to stop the Islamic invasion and to defeat the Caliphate’s aim of conquering Europe? First defence spending in all Western countries must immediately be increased substantially, and then Western forces (and by Western we include Russia) must be swiftly and effectively deployed in the countries most implicated (Syria, Iraq and Libya) to seek out and destroy ISIS/ISIL, and then to occupy the coastal and border areas in order to prevent any further migration attempts into Europe. Once these military aims have been accomplished then a second wave of intervention from the great European nation-states must be enacted, but this time in the form of new colonial administrators who can re-establish order and good governance. Once this has been done then it should be relatively easy to repatriate all non-Europeans currently living on the European continent back to their lands of ethnic origin. Finance to accomplish these aims could come in part by abolishing all overseas aid budgets – after all eradicating the causes of poverty and establishing effective and non-corrupt administration is surely the best form of foreign aid which we can possibly give to the ordinary citizens of these third world countries!

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The Springbok Club proved that it was fully back on the road again after the difficulties of earlier this year by staging a successful and most enjoyable trip to Southend-on-Sea last month, where inter alia they were able to view an art exhibition being staged by Mr. Roger Alsop at the town’s central library.
----------------------------
The Springbok Club aims to give its full support to New Britain’s forthcoming Canada Day event (see New Britain News column) in order to show its commitment to Commonwealth solidarity. In July the Springbok Club will be holding its annual Rhodes and Founders celebration meeting which will feature a most interesting guest speaker, and in August the organization will be welcoming a highly respected visiting guest speaker from South Africa. In September the Springbok Club has again been invited to participate in the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony in Norfolk, and the Kent Branch of the organization is aiming to hold an informal braai later during the year.
------------------------------------------------------------------
SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
The Swinton Circle’s Spring Buffet held last month proved a great success. It was good to see a number of old faces present again for the first time for several years, as well as the presence of several new supporters. The guest speaker, Mr. John Petley, gave a highly enthralling speech in which as well as recounting some of his experiences whilst working for three years at the EU Parliament in Brussels, also told something of his opinions about the current state of the Withdrawalist movement (a term which he prefers to EuroSceptic) in the UK today. In spite of all the problems currently engulfing UKIP he was optimistic about the eventual triumph of the Withdrawalist movement as a whole, but warned everyone about the potential problems which could be encountered during the forthcoming In/Out Referendum campaign, though he also explained how he thought these could be overcome. The new venue used for this function turned out to be first-class, and the standard of buffet snacks provided proved to be superlative.
----------------------------
In order to mark the forthcoming United Kingdom Day the Swinton Circle has decided to make its June meeting an early United Kingdom Day event – and the theme couldn’t be more appropriate! The details are as follows :-
Date : Thursday 18th June 2015
Time : 18.30 hrs for 19.00 hrs.
Venue : The MORPETH ARMS (the upstairs “Spying Room”), 58 Millbank, London SW1P 4RW. (Nearest tube station: Pimlico)
Guest Speaker : Mr. JAMES LOCKWOOD LL.B., A.K.C.
- who will be speaking about the life and career of Lord Carson (Sir Edward Carson).
James Lockwood was born at Pembury and raised at Tunbridge Wells in Kent. He read Law at King's College, London. After graduating he worked for almost a decade as a civilian investigator with Kent Police, and then for Kent County Council managing aspects of the road network. He is currently working in recruitment. He was initiated into the Orange Order in February 2004, the Royal Black Institution in 2006 and the Apprentice Boys of Derry in 2004. He is a member of the Royal Society of St George and of UKIP. He was a former council candidate for the Conservative Party, and a former chairman of the Young Conservatives in the Cities of London & Westminster Conservative Association. Currently he is London District Secretary for the Orange Order and South of England Deputy Master for the Royal Black Institution, and is also Kent Branch Club Secretary for the Apprentice Boys of Derry. His main interests are Badminton, Cricket, history, politics, genealogy, classical music and creative writing. Through the Orange Order he developed a keen interest in Lord Carson, regarded as the Father of Northern Ireland, and appeared on the BBC’s Mastermind quiz programme in 2013, with the life of Lord Carson being his specialist subject.
In his talk James Lockwood will tell something about the life and career of Lord Carson, looking at his personality, ancestry, and interesting points of his legal career, the Home Rule v Unionist struggle (particularly in the 1892-1914 period), the Ulster Crisis, the Constitutional Settlements proposed around 1919 (including one to federalise the whole UK), and the fate of the Stormont settlement. He will also be telling a little about his Mastermind experience!

WORLD CUP WILLIES REVISITED
In the run-up to the 2010 Soccer World Cup we ran a series of monthly items entitled “World Cup Willies”, which demonstrated why we thought that the “new” South Africa was totally unsuited to stage one of the world’s premier sporting tournaments. We reported on the incomplete infrastructure for this tournament, the labour strikes which were causing massive disruptions, the traffic chaos causing an escalating number of accidents, the fact that far fewer overseas supporters would be attending than were originally expected, the breakdown of law and order in other parts of he country as all Police manpower was concentrated in the cities where matches were to be played, and the assaults, robberies and murders – yes murders – which were experienced by visiting players, officials and supporters.
We thought that in view of all these appalling problems resulting from this ill-judged tournament which were apparent at the time that nothing even more damning could ever come to light – but we were wrong! The recent exposure of chronic corruption within FIFA at the highest levels has revealed that the South African FA (or certain officials therein) arranged for a bribe of US$10 Million to be paid to certain national FIFA representatives, particularly those from CONCACAF, to vote for South Africa to stage the 2010 World Cup. In other words South Africa only ever became host of the 2010 tournament through bribery and corruption.
In view of both the disasters surrounding the staging of the 2010 Soccer World Cup and the subsequent revelations about the bribery and corruption which ensured that it was held in the “new” South Africa, we trust that never again will a major global sporting event be staged in this totally unfit country – and that applies especially to the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

LATEST REPORT FROM THE ZIMBABWE CONSERVATION TASK FORCE
We have recently received the following important report from the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force :-
“With regard to the baby elephants which have been captured in Hwange National Park for intended export to China, we would appeal to the Zimbabwean government to do the right thing and release these elephants into a rehabilitation sanctuary so that they can be released back into the wild. This would prove to the world that Zimbabwe is serious about conservation. We are asking this on behalf of thousands of animal lovers around the world.
“In addition to this, Zimbabwe would earn a lot of respect if the stock pile of 72 tons of elephant tusks and 5 tons of rhino horn were incinerated in a public area in front of conservationists and wildlife enthusiasts. This is what Malawi, Kenya and Ethiopia have done. All the wildlife ambassadors around the world should be invited to watch this and that will have a huge impact on Zimbabwe's reputation as true leaders in the conservation world.
“The local people living around the National Parks and wildlife areas would benefit from this. They could be employed by National Parks to run anti-poaching patrols and they could receive a percentage of the money earned by tourism. This would greatly help the unemployment problem in Zimbabwe. If these people are earning money by keeping the animals alive, they would not be so keen to kill them. There would be massive benefits for a number of industries. The local people could sell their beautiful art works and sculptures and they could even start safari businesses, allowing foreign visitors to see how they live. The hotels, restaurants, transport companies and airlines would also benefit from an influx of tourists.
“With regard to elephants destroying people's crops, there are ways of preventing that chilli plants could be planted around the perimeter of the crops and that would discourage elephants from going in and eating the crops.”
The Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force relies solely on public donations. Any donation can help to preserve the wildlife in Zimbabwe. If you would like to assist please contact the ZCTF at: galorand@mweb.co.zw

LATEST NEWS CONCERNING CLIVE DERBY-LEWIS
We have recently heard the rumour that a South African court has ruled that Clive Derby-Lewis must be released on bail, but that the powers-that-be had been given until Friday 5th June to present arguments in opposition to this ruling. In spite of the fact that this date has now passed we have alas heard nothing further to confirm or refute that he has now actually been released. The latest report which we have received from his wife Gaye reads as follows however :-
“You have probably all heard that Clive’s application for Medical Parole was refused by the Minister of Correctional Services. Since he was convicted and sentenced to death in 1993, I’m afraid we’ve not won a single battle within this country’s so-called justice system.
“He was refused amnesty in the late nineties on the most spurious of grounds, while they gave amnesty to every Tom, Dick and Harry. I collected information on who they gave amnesty to, and it makes laughable reading! The chairman of Clive’s amnesty committee of five was a dyed in the wool communist, so impartiality was out of the question. In any event, after the 1993 Hani incident, more than 30 top ANC/SACP’s, liberals and a few NP’s including de Klerk declared publicly that Clive would ‘never get out’, and they have stuck to their guns. They are in power and they can use the system the way they want.
“To cut a long story short, Clive was eligible for parole, to be released in October 2008. The Parole Board recommended this parole, but the minister refused it. It was refused three times after that, each time the minister (either a communist or an ANC bigwig) used and manipulated the law to suit his political agenda. Anyone who really knows South Africa will know how easily this can be done – look at how Zuma gets away with not being tried for the 683 charges of fraud about which he’s supposed to appear in court. The National Prosecuting Authority is compromised, as we all know.
“Clive was stabbed twice in jail. Glass from one of the stabbings is still in his lung and it cannot be operated upon. As well, he nearly lost his leg with a gangrene that developed because there was no medical attention in jail. He was also diagnosed with cancer – lung cancer and prostate cancer - and heart failure, high blood pressure and hypertension .
“He is receiving chemo and radiation. He is bearing up well.
“The Medical Parole Advisory Board, a board setup by the Department of Correctional Services and consisting of seventeen independent doctors and specialists, recommended to the minister that Clive be released on medical parole. The minister completely ignored the advice of his own Medical Experts. He is not a medical doctor.
“The minister refused medical parole on three grounds which I won’t go into here. Let it be said they were all spurious. I can’t tell you in detail because it actually makes me physically ill to go through all of this again. But each reason was a reason thrown into the pot to give the minister an excuse to refuse and of course to keep Clive in jail longer. However laughable the reasons for refusal, the onus was thus upon us to take this ridiculous decision to court which takes thousands of Rands and a lot of time and effort.
We get the affidavit and annexures together with the guidance of our advocate and attorney. This documentation consists of thousands of pages, multiplied by eight to give copies to all the “interested parties” which include the SA Communist Party. We ask the court to review the minister’s decision. The minister’s mala fides, bias and vindictiveness were so bad that we had to ask the court to make the decision, not go back to the minister. I can’t possibly say in this email what I think of the whole bloody lot of them – suffice it to say they are a curse on this country, a plague which this country will never get rid of. We warned the people time and time again, but nobody was listening.
“I’m sending this to you with a heavy heart. I’m fed up with the whole mess and the weakness of the whites. Who would have thought they’d let go so easily?
“Anyway, I’ll keep you posted. We hope things will take a turn for the better when our urgent application comes before a judge. But then we ask: what judge? He’s been before the judges before!”

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

No.199 – Mr. RICKY ALLAN of Durban.
Ricky Allan was a stalwart of the Durban Branch of the Rangers F.C. Supporters Association, and the father of John Allan who played international Rugby Union as hooker both for Scotland and for South Africa. As was mentioned in the February 2014 edition of the SCN, however, he was also the grandfather of Tommaso Allan (the son of Ricky’s younger son William “Billy” Allan) who has recently played at fly-half for Italy. Although Ricky Allan lived in Durban during the 1980s he hailed from Glasgow, but as his son John subsequently played for Edinburgh Academicals and his son Billy has evidently settled in Italy, it would be very interesting to learn where Ricky himself is living now.

RECOMMENDED WEB-SITE OF THE MONTH
As mentioned in the Springbok Club section, the organization staged a trip to Southend-on-Sea last month, where members and supporters visited an art exhibition featuring some of the paintings of Roger Alsop. This proved a most enjoyable day out, and Roger Alsop’s pictures were very impressive. He has his own web-site where a number of his works are displayed, and this can be accessed at :-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PUTTING IT IN BLACK AND WHITE
Sir,
Thanks for this insightful, well-written newsletter [the March edition of the SCN – Ed.].
I’d love to respond to quite a few points raised here, but will confine my response to one only. You postulated :-
“We honestly can’t make out why it is only these farm murders which receive so much attention, when quite clearly a far greater number of these genocidal atrocities take place in urban inner-city areas.”
Most farmers are Afrikaners, of which a significant minority are of White English ancestry especially in Natal. Most inner city victims are Whites of English or Afrikaner ethnicity. It seems in today’s twisted, contorted world of political correctness it’s permissible to call attention to the persecution of a particular ethnicity (Afrikaners) but absolutely verboten to point out that a member of the WHITE race is victim to Black genocidal racism.
The liberal leftist narrative one is strictly forbidden from deviating is thus: White = bad, Black = good. The mortal sins of racism and bigotry are the exclusive domain of Whites. Victimhood of the aforesaid is thus exclusively non-White. Ergo, Blacks cannot be guilty of racism and Whites cannot be victim to it. Should a White person dare to point out Black malfeasance, he is automatically guilty of racism as any attempt to do so is automatically “borne from a subconscious desire to make Blacks look bad”.
On the flipside, the United Nations have various sub-organisations which promote and protect the rights of ethnic minorities, as long as such ethnicities are identified through language, cultural heritage and geographical considerations. As such, you will find many veteran activists such as the Dutch-based Adriana Stuijt or local Dr Dan Roodt of PRAAG beating the ethnic drum but fearfully shying away from the racial one.
It’s abundantly clear that South African Whites of all ethnicities are being victimised especially due to their skin colour. The vast majority of Black on White crimes can be categorised as racist hate crimes, due to the excessive violence and extreme torture employed, the manner in which victims are identified and subsequently persecuted. In more than 90% of cases, Black perpetrators make no effort to hide their primary motives – they openly use racist hate speech and where entire families are murdered, will routinely daub anti-White slogans on walls using their victim’s blood.

WE ARE THE SACRIFICE ……
Sir,
I know the Springbok Club is not only concerned with Southern Africa but has, thanks to you, given a right leaning viewpoint on other places of interest to us and those who think like us. I often point out the lack of gumption in White South Africans. At least the Rhodesians put up a valiant struggle, only to be betrayed by Conservative politicians - as was Ulster - and by their White South African cousins, particularly that creep John Vorster.

FICTION WRITER
Sir,
I was angry to read the letter entitled “Angels and Demons” from a Mr. Dan Brown [May SCN – Ed.] which contained one misleading lie and another offensive implication concerning the actions of British forces during the Anglo-Boer War.
1) Kitchener did NOT establish “concentration camps” in South Africa. Concentration camps were established by the Nazis in Germany and eastern Europe prior to and during the Second World War in order exterminate Jews, Gypsies and other minorities. Kitchener established DETENTION camps in South Africa, and only AFTER the war was effectively over following the capture of Pretoria in June 1900. They were established in order to DETAIN the families of the Boer “bitter-enders” who refused to accept that they had lost the war and wished to prolong the pain and suffering on both sides by adopting “hit and run” guerilla tactics, retreating to their farmsteads after each isolated attack on British troops where their families provided food and protection for them. To compare the totally justifiable military tactic of establishing DETENTION camps in order to end hostilities as early as possible with the evil CONCENTRATION camps of the Nazis is a monstrous lie!
2) The implication that “28,000 Boers …perished” in the detention camps as deliberate acts of murder is an outrageous and unsubstantiated smear! Hygiene knowledge and standards at the end of the 19th century were nowhere near as advanced as they became even 50 years later. Diseases broke out in the camps and thousands (British troops as well as detainees!) died as a result of the lack of effective hygiene standards – NOT as deliberate acts of murder!
After the Treaty of Vereeniging of 1902 the vast majority of Afrikaners accepted the most generous peace terms which they were offered – particularly those great Afrikaner leaders Louis Botha and Jan Smuts. As a result the great success story which was the Union of South Africa came into being in 1910 which lasted for the next increasingly happy and prosperous 50 years, during which time Afrikaners and British-South Africans mainly lived side by side as brothers in a united land. It was only after the National Party government started to kow-tow to the ANC terrorists that the almost century-old and otherwise forgotten animosities were re-activated, mainly through the NP-controlled SABC and its joke AWB puppet organization. By trying to revive this animosity himself Mr. Brown is only playing the ANC’s game of further dividing White man from White man.
Yours etc.,

[ This letter reflects the views of several other communications which we have received criticizing Mr.Dan Brown’s comments, and indeed criticizing us for publishing them. Mr.Brown himself remains an enigma to us however. He first made contact in November of last year stating that he wished to become involved with the Lancashire Branch of the Springbok Club and furthermore wished to make a donation (which significantly never materialized). After placing him on the SCN circulation list we received a most unexpected e-mail from him containing the controversial comments which have caused so much criticism, which we decided to publish in the interests of free speech. Almost immediately after publishing them, however, we received a further e-mail from him asking to “unsubscribe” from the SCN. His motivation and agenda remains a complete mystery to us therefore. Does anyone know any more about him? – Ed.]

ROGUES GALLERY
We have recently learnt from a reliable source that the notorious Arthur Kemp (see SCNs passim) has relocated to Montana in the United States. We note also that his blogspot now hasn’t been updated for 11 months, so it would seem therefore that his public and political life is at an end.
It is however not our intention to warn the people of Montana about the odious nature of the liar, traitor, devious double-agent, betrayer of friends and circulator of fake pornographic images, as we hope that he will never again return to either South Africa or the UK to cause any more trouble, but will simply end his miserable life in rural Rocky Mountain obscurity.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, if you would prefer to be deleted from our SCN circulation list then simply e-mail us with the word "unsubscribe". Alternatively, if you liked this SCN and think more of your friends would like to receive copies then please let us know their e-mail addresses!
See you again next month!
June 2015 edition
In 1973 an apocalyptic novel was published in France entitled The Camp of Saints, written by Jean Raspail. The basic synopsis of this novel centred upon a mass co-ordinated invasion of France, and indeed Europe as a whole, by millions of third world minions. This novel was widely criticized at the time as being unrealistic and unbelievable – but now, some forty years later, it is coming true, as masses of poverty-stricken Africans and Arabs attempt to cross the Mediterranean in order to encamp themselves in Europe!
Make no bones about it, these “boat people” are not refugees – they are invaders. Just because they don’t carry weapons doesn’t mean to say that their aim isn’t the same as that of previous Islamic invaders of Europe, such as the Moors and the Ottomans. Their aim is to conquer and supplant the indigenous population of Europe, and to impose their own repressive religion upon the continent.
Recently we read a most devastating article in a publication entitled Vanishing England (No.10 – 20.2.2015) which revealed that the current “boat people” migration across the Mediterranean was all part of a deliberate plan by the Islamic Caliphate not only to invade Europe, but more specifically to seize Rome. Ever since an earlier Caliphate seized Constantinople in 1453, the article went on to illustrate, it has been the aim of Muslims to capture that other leading Christian city of Europe – Rome. The current Caliph, Abu-Bakr Al-Baghdadi (the spiritual head of ISIS/ISIL in northern Syria and Iraq) is furthermore on record as stating on 13th November 2014 “The Jihadists will continue their advance until, by God’s will, they reach Rome” [English translation from original Arabic]. Now of course we know that most of our readers will not have much time for the theological position and global power of the Vatican, but it must be accepted that their hierarchy is basically European, and they are therefore infinitely preferable to any Arabic Muslim theocrats who aim to take their place.
Perhaps the most frightening aspect in the storyline of The Camp of Saints was the manner in which so many indigenous Europeans not only passively accepted the third world invasion of their homelands, but in many cases even positively welcomed them! Again we see sickening parallels taking place in real-life today. Instead of immediately transporting all the “boat people” rescued from the Mediterranean back to the countries from which they embarked (Libya, and to a lesser extent Syria), the Italian and other EU authorities incredibly transport them on to the lands which they intended to reach, and unbelievably allow them to stay there! But the extent of assistance given to the Islamic invasion by the liberal/leftist forces in Europe actually goes even further than this. The demonstrations organized by the liberal/leftist “rent-a-mobs” against Western interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya have intimidated Western leaders into withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan far too early, not taking any necessary military action in Syria, and not putting any “boots on the ground” in Libya following the overthrow of an earlier would-be Caliph – Gadaffi. Had Western leaders not bowed to the self-hating demands of the liberal/left protestors then it follows that, with Western forces in control, there would not have been any power-vacuum in Iraq, Syria and Libya, and thereby no opportunity for the “boat people” to launch their invasion ventures from these countries.
Alas however it is not only the overt liberals and leftists who have been guilty of complicity with the invasion. Many self-styled right-wing and/or patriotic leaders – most notably Mr. Nigel Farage, the current leader of UKIP (as we pointed out in the May edition of the SCN) - have openly sided with the “rent-a-mob” pro-Islamic fellow-travellers by criticizing the limited Western intervention in Libya and opposing similar military action in Syria. Such incredible stances adopted by so-called anti-immigration leaders have been at best so naïve that the proponents forfeit all right to be taken seriously, or else they demonstrate a hypocrisy which is beyond belief. Needless to say, we view such hypocritical pseudo-patriots with even more contempt than we view the more obvious liberal/left!
But what needs to be done to stop the Islamic invasion and to defeat the Caliphate’s aim of conquering Europe? First defence spending in all Western countries must immediately be increased substantially, and then Western forces (and by Western we include Russia) must be swiftly and effectively deployed in the countries most implicated (Syria, Iraq and Libya) to seek out and destroy ISIS/ISIL, and then to occupy the coastal and border areas in order to prevent any further migration attempts into Europe. Once these military aims have been accomplished then a second wave of intervention from the great European nation-states must be enacted, but this time in the form of new colonial administrators who can re-establish order and good governance. Once this has been done then it should be relatively easy to repatriate all non-Europeans currently living on the European continent back to their lands of ethnic origin. Finance to accomplish these aims could come in part by abolishing all overseas aid budgets – after all eradicating the causes of poverty and establishing effective and non-corrupt administration is surely the best form of foreign aid which we can possibly give to the ordinary citizens of these third world countries!

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The Springbok Club proved that it was fully back on the road again after the difficulties of earlier this year by staging a successful and most enjoyable trip to Southend-on-Sea last month, where inter alia they were able to view an art exhibition being staged by Mr. Roger Alsop at the town’s central library.
----------------------------
The Springbok Club aims to give its full support to New Britain’s forthcoming Canada Day event (see New Britain News column) in order to show its commitment to Commonwealth solidarity. In July the Springbok Club will be holding its annual Rhodes and Founders celebration meeting which will feature a most interesting guest speaker, and in August the organization will be welcoming a highly respected visiting guest speaker from South Africa. In September the Springbok Club has again been invited to participate in the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony in Norfolk, and the Kent Branch of the organization is aiming to hold an informal braai later during the year.
------------------------------------------------------------------
SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
The Swinton Circle’s Spring Buffet held last month proved a great success. It was good to see a number of old faces present again for the first time for several years, as well as the presence of several new supporters. The guest speaker, Mr. John Petley, gave a highly enthralling speech in which as well as recounting some of his experiences whilst working for three years at the EU Parliament in Brussels, also told something of his opinions about the current state of the Withdrawalist movement (a term which he prefers to EuroSceptic) in the UK today. In spite of all the problems currently engulfing UKIP he was optimistic about the eventual triumph of the Withdrawalist movement as a whole, but warned everyone about the potential problems which could be encountered during the forthcoming In/Out Referendum campaign, though he also explained how he thought these could be overcome. The new venue used for this function turned out to be first-class, and the standard of buffet snacks provided proved to be superlative.
----------------------------
In order to mark the forthcoming United Kingdom Day the Swinton Circle has decided to make its June meeting an early United Kingdom Day event – and the theme couldn’t be more appropriate! The details are as follows :-
Date : Thursday 18th June 2015
Time : 18.30 hrs for 19.00 hrs.
Venue : The MORPETH ARMS (the upstairs “Spying Room”), 58 Millbank, London SW1P 4RW. (Nearest tube station: Pimlico)
Guest Speaker : Mr. JAMES LOCKWOOD LL.B., A.K.C.
- who will be speaking about the life and career of Lord Carson (Sir Edward Carson).
James Lockwood was born at Pembury and raised at Tunbridge Wells in Kent. He read Law at King's College, London. After graduating he worked for almost a decade as a civilian investigator with Kent Police, and then for Kent County Council managing aspects of the road network. He is currently working in recruitment. He was initiated into the Orange Order in February 2004, the Royal Black Institution in 2006 and the Apprentice Boys of Derry in 2004. He is a member of the Royal Society of St George and of UKIP. He was a former council candidate for the Conservative Party, and a former chairman of the Young Conservatives in the Cities of London & Westminster Conservative Association. Currently he is London District Secretary for the Orange Order and South of England Deputy Master for the Royal Black Institution, and is also Kent Branch Club Secretary for the Apprentice Boys of Derry. His main interests are Badminton, Cricket, history, politics, genealogy, classical music and creative writing. Through the Orange Order he developed a keen interest in Lord Carson, regarded as the Father of Northern Ireland, and appeared on the BBC’s Mastermind quiz programme in 2013, with the life of Lord Carson being his specialist subject.
In his talk James Lockwood will tell something about the life and career of Lord Carson, looking at his personality, ancestry, and interesting points of his legal career, the Home Rule v Unionist struggle (particularly in the 1892-1914 period), the Ulster Crisis, the Constitutional Settlements proposed around 1919 (including one to federalise the whole UK), and the fate of the Stormont settlement. He will also be telling a little about his Mastermind experience!

WORLD CUP WILLIES REVISITED
In the run-up to the 2010 Soccer World Cup we ran a series of monthly items entitled “World Cup Willies”, which demonstrated why we thought that the “new” South Africa was totally unsuited to stage one of the world’s premier sporting tournaments. We reported on the incomplete infrastructure for this tournament, the labour strikes which were causing massive disruptions, the traffic chaos causing an escalating number of accidents, the fact that far fewer overseas supporters would be attending than were originally expected, the breakdown of law and order in other parts of he country as all Police manpower was concentrated in the cities where matches were to be played, and the assaults, robberies and murders – yes murders – which were experienced by visiting players, officials and supporters.
We thought that in view of all these appalling problems resulting from this ill-judged tournament which were apparent at the time that nothing even more damning could ever come to light – but we were wrong! The recent exposure of chronic corruption within FIFA at the highest levels has revealed that the South African FA (or certain officials therein) arranged for a bribe of US$10 Million to be paid to certain national FIFA representatives, particularly those from CONCACAF, to vote for South Africa to stage the 2010 World Cup. In other words South Africa only ever became host of the 2010 tournament through bribery and corruption.
In view of both the disasters surrounding the staging of the 2010 Soccer World Cup and the subsequent revelations about the bribery and corruption which ensured that it was held in the “new” South Africa, we trust that never again will a major global sporting event be staged in this totally unfit country – and that applies especially to the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

LATEST REPORT FROM THE ZIMBABWE CONSERVATION TASK FORCE
We have recently received the following important report from the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force :-
“With regard to the baby elephants which have been captured in Hwange National Park for intended export to China, we would appeal to the Zimbabwean government to do the right thing and release these elephants into a rehabilitation sanctuary so that they can be released back into the wild. This would prove to the world that Zimbabwe is serious about conservation. We are asking this on behalf of thousands of animal lovers around the world.
“In addition to this, Zimbabwe would earn a lot of respect if the stock pile of 72 tons of elephant tusks and 5 tons of rhino horn were incinerated in a public area in front of conservationists and wildlife enthusiasts. This is what Malawi, Kenya and Ethiopia have done. All the wildlife ambassadors around the world should be invited to watch this and that will have a huge impact on Zimbabwe's reputation as true leaders in the conservation world.
“The local people living around the National Parks and wildlife areas would benefit from this. They could be employed by National Parks to run anti-poaching patrols and they could receive a percentage of the money earned by tourism. This would greatly help the unemployment problem in Zimbabwe. If these people are earning money by keeping the animals alive, they would not be so keen to kill them. There would be massive benefits for a number of industries. The local people could sell their beautiful art works and sculptures and they could even start safari businesses, allowing foreign visitors to see how they live. The hotels, restaurants, transport companies and airlines would also benefit from an influx of tourists.
“With regard to elephants destroying people's crops, there are ways of preventing that chilli plants could be planted around the perimeter of the crops and that would discourage elephants from going in and eating the crops.”
The Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force relies solely on public donations. Any donation can help to preserve the wildlife in Zimbabwe. If you would like to assist please contact the ZCTF at: galorand@mweb.co.zw

LATEST NEWS CONCERNING CLIVE DERBY-LEWIS
We have recently heard the rumour that a South African court has ruled that Clive Derby-Lewis must be released on bail, but that the powers-that-be had been given until Friday 5th June to present arguments in opposition to this ruling. In spite of the fact that this date has now passed we have alas heard nothing further to confirm or refute that he has now actually been released. The latest report which we have received from his wife Gaye reads as follows however :-
“You have probably all heard that Clive’s application for Medical Parole was refused by the Minister of Correctional Services. Since he was convicted and sentenced to death in 1993, I’m afraid we’ve not won a single battle within this country’s so-called justice system.
“He was refused amnesty in the late nineties on the most spurious of grounds, while they gave amnesty to every Tom, Dick and Harry. I collected information on who they gave amnesty to, and it makes laughable reading! The chairman of Clive’s amnesty committee of five was a dyed in the wool communist, so impartiality was out of the question. In any event, after the 1993 Hani incident, more than 30 top ANC/SACP’s, liberals and a few NP’s including de Klerk declared publicly that Clive would ‘never get out’, and they have stuck to their guns. They are in power and they can use the system the way they want.
“To cut a long story short, Clive was eligible for parole, to be released in October 2008. The Parole Board recommended this parole, but the minister refused it. It was refused three times after that, each time the minister (either a communist or an ANC bigwig) used and manipulated the law to suit his political agenda. Anyone who really knows South Africa will know how easily this can be done – look at how Zuma gets away with not being tried for the 683 charges of fraud about which he’s supposed to appear in court. The National Prosecuting Authority is compromised, as we all know.
“Clive was stabbed twice in jail. Glass from one of the stabbings is still in his lung and it cannot be operated upon. As well, he nearly lost his leg with a gangrene that developed because there was no medical attention in jail. He was also diagnosed with cancer – lung cancer and prostate cancer - and heart failure, high blood pressure and hypertension .
“He is receiving chemo and radiation. He is bearing up well.
“The Medical Parole Advisory Board, a board setup by the Department of Correctional Services and consisting of seventeen independent doctors and specialists, recommended to the minister that Clive be released on medical parole. The minister completely ignored the advice of his own Medical Experts. He is not a medical doctor.
“The minister refused medical parole on three grounds which I won’t go into here. Let it be said they were all spurious. I can’t tell you in detail because it actually makes me physically ill to go through all of this again. But each reason was a reason thrown into the pot to give the minister an excuse to refuse and of course to keep Clive in jail longer. However laughable the reasons for refusal, the onus was thus upon us to take this ridiculous decision to court which takes thousands of Rands and a lot of time and effort.
We get the affidavit and annexures together with the guidance of our advocate and attorney. This documentation consists of thousands of pages, multiplied by eight to give copies to all the “interested parties” which include the SA Communist Party. We ask the court to review the minister’s decision. The minister’s mala fides, bias and vindictiveness were so bad that we had to ask the court to make the decision, not go back to the minister. I can’t possibly say in this email what I think of the whole bloody lot of them – suffice it to say they are a curse on this country, a plague which this country will never get rid of. We warned the people time and time again, but nobody was listening.
“I’m sending this to you with a heavy heart. I’m fed up with the whole mess and the weakness of the whites. Who would have thought they’d let go so easily?
“Anyway, I’ll keep you posted. We hope things will take a turn for the better when our urgent application comes before a judge. But then we ask: what judge? He’s been before the judges before!”

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

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.199 – Mr. RICKY ALLAN of Durban.
Ricky Allan was a stalwart of the Durban Branch of the Rangers F.C. Supporters Association, and the father of John Allan who played international Rugby Union as hooker both for Scotland and for South Africa. As was mentioned in the February 2014 edition of the SCN, however, he was also the grandfather of Tommaso Allan (the son of Ricky’s younger son William “Billy” Allan) who has recently played at fly-half for Italy. Although Ricky Allan lived in Durban during the 1980s he hailed from Glasgow, but as his son John subsequently played for Edinburgh Academicals and his son Billy has evidently settled in Italy, it would be very interesting to learn where Ricky himself is living now.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PUTTING IT IN BLACK AND WHITE
Sir,
Thanks for this insightful, well-written newsletter [the March edition of the SCN – Ed.].
I’d love to respond to quite a few points raised here, but will confine my response to one only. You postulated :-
“We honestly can’t make out why it is only these farm murders which receive so much attention, when quite clearly a far greater number of these genocidal atrocities take place in urban inner-city areas.”
Most farmers are Afrikaners, of which a significant minority are of White English ancestry especially in Natal. Most inner city victims are Whites of English or Afrikaner ethnicity. It seems in today’s twisted, contorted world of political correctness it’s permissible to call attention to the persecution of a particular ethnicity (Afrikaners) but absolutely verboten to point out that a member of the WHITE race is victim to Black genocidal racism.
The liberal leftist narrative one is strictly forbidden from deviating is thus: White = bad, Black = good. The mortal sins of racism and bigotry are the exclusive domain of Whites. Victimhood of the aforesaid is thus exclusively non-White. Ergo, Blacks cannot be guilty of racism and Whites cannot be victim to it. Should a White person dare to point out Black malfeasance, he is automatically guilty of racism as any attempt to do so is automatically “borne from a subconscious desire to make Blacks look bad”.
On the flipside, the United Nations have various sub-organisations which promote and protect the rights of ethnic minorities, as long as such ethnicities are identified through language, cultural heritage and geographical considerations. As such, you will find many veteran activists such as the Dutch-based Adriana Stuijt or local Dr Dan Roodt of PRAAG beating the ethnic drum but fearfully shying away from the racial one.
It’s abundantly clear that South African Whites of all ethnicities are being victimised especially due to their skin colour. The vast majority of Black on White crimes can be categorised as racist hate crimes, due to the excessive violence and extreme torture employed, the manner in which victims are identified and subsequently persecuted. In more than 90% of cases, Black perpetrators make no effort to hide their primary motives – they openly use racist hate speech and where entire families are murdered, will routinely daub anti-White slogans on walls using their victim’s blood.

WE ARE THE SACRIFICE ……
Sir,
I know the Springbok Club is not only concerned with Southern Africa but has, thanks to you, given a right leaning viewpoint on other places of interest to us and those who think like us. I often point out the lack of gumption in White South Africans. At least the Rhodesians put up a valiant struggle, only to be betrayed by Conservative politicians - as was Ulster - and by their White South African cousins, particularly that creep John Vorster.

FICTION WRITER
Sir,
I was angry to read the letter entitled “Angels and Demons” from a Mr. Dan Brown [May SCN – Ed.] which contained one misleading lie and another offensive implication concerning the actions of British forces during the Anglo-Boer War.
1) Kitchener did NOT establish “concentration camps” in South Africa. Concentration camps were established by the Nazis in Germany and eastern Europe prior to and during the Second World War in order exterminate Jews, Gypsies and other minorities. Kitchener established DETENTION camps in South Africa, and only AFTER the war was effectively over following the capture of Pretoria in June 1900. They were established in order to DETAIN the families of the Boer “bitter-enders” who refused to accept that they had lost the war and wished to prolong the pain and suffering on both sides by adopting “hit and run” guerilla tactics, retreating to their farmsteads after each isolated attack on British troops where their families provided food and protection for them. To compare the totally justifiable military tactic of establishing DETENTION camps in order to end hostilities as early as possible with the evil CONCENTRATION camps of the Nazis is a monstrous lie!
2) The implication that “28,000 Boers …perished” in the detention camps as deliberate acts of murder is an outrageous and unsubstantiated smear! Hygiene knowledge and standards at the end of the 19th century were nowhere near as advanced as they became even 50 years later. Diseases broke out in the camps and thousands (British troops as well as detainees!) died as a result of the lack of effective hygiene standards – NOT as deliberate acts of murder!
After the Treaty of Vereeniging of 1902 the vast majority of Afrikaners accepted the most generous peace terms which they were offered – particularly those great Afrikaner leaders Louis Botha and Jan Smuts. As a result the great success story which was the Union of South Africa came into being in 1910 which lasted for the next increasingly happy and prosperous 50 years, during which time Afrikaners and British-South Africans mainly lived side by side as brothers in a united land. It was only after the National Party government started to kow-tow to the ANC terrorists that the almost century-old and otherwise forgotten animosities were re-activated, mainly through the NP-controlled SABC and its joke AWB puppet organization. By trying to revive this animosity himself Mr. Brown is only playing the ANC’s game of further dividing White man from White man.

[ This letter reflects the views of several other communications which we have received criticizing Mr.Dan Brown’s comments, and indeed criticizing us for publishing them. Mr.Brown himself remains an enigma to us however. He first made contact in November of last year stating that he wished to become involved with the Lancashire Branch of the Springbok Club and furthermore wished to make a donation (which significantly never materialized). After placing him on the SCN circulation list we received a most unexpected e-mail from him containing the controversial comments which have caused so much criticism, which we decided to publish in the interests of free speech. Almost immediately after publishing them, however, we received a further e-mail from him asking to “unsubscribe” from the SCN. His motivation and agenda remains a complete mystery to us therefore. Does anyone know any more about him? – Ed.]

ROGUES GALLERY
We have recently learnt from a reliable source that the notorious Arthur Kemp (see SCNs passim) has relocated to Montana in the United States. We note also that his blogspot now hasn’t been updated for 11 months, so it would seem therefore that his public and political life is at an end.
It is however not our intention to warn the people of Montana about the odious nature of the liar, traitor, devious double-agent, betrayer of friends and circulator of fake pornographic images, as we hope that he will never again return to either South Africa or the UK to cause any more trouble, but will simply end his miserable life in rural Rocky Mountain obscurity.

Finally, if you would prefer to be deleted from our SCN circulation list then simply e-mail us with the word "unsubscribe". Alternatively, if you liked this SCN and think more of your friends would like to receive copies then please let us know their e-mail addresses!
See you again next month!
