SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
May 2016 edition
By electing a non-White Muslim to the position of Mayor of London, the people of London have brought shame and humiliation not only on themselves, but onto the British nation as a whole. They have made a laughing-stock of themselves around the Western world.
Already we have received messages from two separate Australian supporters saying: “How did he get elected?” and “What a disgrace”. We have also seen a most upsetting message from a source in the United States sarcastically referring to “Londonistan”, and most worryingly of all we have been forwarded a circular via FaceBook from a pro-Islamic source gloating that “London has Fallen!”.
It has been argued that the post of Mayor of London is actually meaningless, it merely being a Blairite invention having been established as part of Tony Blair’s constitutional vandalism in order to provide a “job for the boys” for London Labour Party bigwigs. Although this is basically true (although of course it never quite worked out this way for him!), this isn’t the point. The point is how come that the basically White electorate of London were prepared to vote for not only a non-White, but even worse a non-White Muslim. We must start by analysing some of the facts. The total electorate of London was 5,737.092, but at the Mayoral election there was only a 45.3% turnout, meaning that only 2,598,905 actually voted. When his first and second preference votes were added together the wretched Sadiq Khan only polled 1,310,143 votes – meaning that 4,426,949 Londoners didn’t vote for him. When it is also taken into account that 8% of the London population is believed to be non-White then the extent of Khan’s “victory” is even less impressive. Of course not all the estimated 458,967 non-White voters in London will have voted for Khan (not all of course are Muslim), but the vast majority undoubtedly will have done. When this is taken into account it means that racial aliens allowed to vote in this election probably accounted for significantly more than Khan’s majority of 315,529.
Alas voting in Britain has always traditionally been very tribal, and it has often been remarked that if Labour was to nominate a stuffed pig with a red-and-yellow rosette in a red-hot working class constituency, or the Conservatives were to do similarly with a blue rosette in an affluent home counties constituency, then they would get elected. Although there is much truth in this observation, it has not always been the case when these parties have nominated non-Whites. In the 1970 General Election Labour nominated the negro “Dr.” David Pitt in the ultra-safe Labour constituency of Clapham – yet he was heavily defeated. Likewise when in the 1992 General Election the Conservative Party nominated their own negro candidate, John Taylor (later, incidentally, imprisoned for financial wrong-doings) in the solidly-blue Cheltenham constituency, he was likewise decisively defeated. Yet now however, barely a couple of decades later, all this seems to have changed, as both major parties now have about a dozen racial aliens representing them on the Parliamentary benches.
How has all this changed in such a short period of time? Undoubtedly the “politically correct” zeitgeist of the 1990s is mainly to blame, when the egalitarian philosophy – massively backed by the media, the churches and the liberal political “elite” – suddenly held sway. Although people previously had always firstly and predominantly – and quite naturally – thought racially, suddenly they started to believe, or more accurately to be brainwashed, into thinking that fundamental racial differences didn’t matter.
If there has been such a massive shift in one direction so quickly, away from the millennium-old and quite natural belief that racial differences are fundamental, to a belief in the quite unnatural ideas of egalitarianism, then a similar shift back towards the natural order of things can surely happen equally rapidly. Don’t forget that when the United States went mad eight years ago and elected a Coloured President there were many who said that there would never again be a White President of the United States – yet now, only eight years later, the American people will be electing either Hillary Clinton at worst, and at best Donald J.Trump! Now that the people of London have gone equally as mad as the American people went in 2008 it is quite clear that we have massive work to do – but in this struggle our biggest enemies will not be the non-Whites and egalitarians themselves, but rather pessimism and defeatism on our own side!

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
Unfortunately the planned New Zealander guest speaker for the Springbok Club’s annual Empire Day celebration meeting has had to withdraw at the last minute – but happily our very good friend and supporter from Australia, Bob Vinnicombe, who will be visiting the Northern Hemisphere at the time, has been prepared to step into the breach and to give a report-back on the current Australian situation in the light of their forthcoming important General Election, and also to give his opinions on the prospects for increased Anglo-Australian friendship and co-operation in the aftermath of the hoped-for “Vote Leave” victory in the forthcoming EU Referendum. Although the precise venue for this meeting has still to be finalized, it will definitely take place on Wednesday 1st June at a venue in central London, and all supporters will be notified of the full details in due course.
----------------------------
Later during June the Springbok Club will be staging a trip to a site of historical and cultural interest in south-east England, and in July will be staging their annual Rhodes and Founders Day celebration meeting, at which it is anticipated that a supporter with close family connections to the late Hon. Ian Douglas Smith will be guest speaker.
----------------------------
All supporters are also reminded that once again the Springbok Club has been specially invited to participate in the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony in Norfolk. This year this event will take place on Sunday 11th September, so it is hoped therefore that all friends and supporters will diarise this date, and will make a special effort to attend this most inspiring and enjoyable event. Overnight accommodation can always be arranged at Cromer, which is only a few miles away from where the event takes place.
------------------------------------------------------------------
SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
Although the Swinton Circle has suspended all activities in order to allow its supporters to concentrate upon campaigning for a “Leave” vote on 23rd June, the organization has been contacted again by our friends at the PEGIDA UK organization to tell us about changes in arrangements for their planned demonstration in Rotherham in protest against convicted Muslim rape gangs in the town, and the lack of action being taken by the local authorities to prevent this evil. They write as follows :-
“PEGIDA UK Staging Rotherham March to Remind Britain of Grooming Gang Crisis
“PEGIDA UK, led by Paul Weston, Anne Marie Waters, and Tommy Robinson, will stage a silent walk through the town centre of Rotherham at 2 pm on June 4th 2016 in protest at the appalling injustices suffered by children and families in that town, and at the continuing sexual abuse by predatory gangs of Muslim men across England to this day.
“The town of Rotherham has now become synonymous with the grooming, rape, and prostitution of young girls by organized gangs throughout the country – gangs comprised almost exclusively of Muslims. PEGIDA believes that such men have acted with virtual impunity for decades because a culture of ‘political correctness’ and fear of ‘racist’ or ‘Islamophobic’ labels has prevented firm action from being taken.
“Public bodies – including the police and social services – looked away and took no action to tackle these appalling crimes in order to avoid causing offence to Islamic communities, or risking the ire of so-called 'community leaders'. Political leaders also feared upsetting voting blocs, or admitting that their multicultural project may not in fact have been working.
“PEGIDA UK intends to reach out to the ordinary men and women of Britain and ask them to join us in a peaceful silent walk in Rotherham, and to show politicians and other leaders that we are tired of the two-tier justice system that is forming in our country. Rapists should be punished and our children should be protected.
“False accusations of 'Islamophobia' will no longer silence the British people.
“The PEGIDA UK event will be a peaceful, no-alcohol, silent march of protest. Families and people from all backgrounds are welcome to join patriots from all over the country in Rotherham on June 4th. Homophobes, Nazis, racists and anti-Semites, however, are not welcome. PEGIDA UK is in Rotherham to demand people’s rights are protected, that people receive justice, and that all are treated equally under one British law.
“To arrange interviews at this upcoming event, please contact Deputy Leader Anne Marie Waters at amwaters@hotmail.com”
The Swinton Circle hopes that as many of its supporters as possible from the West Riding of Yorkshire – and everywhere else in the country for that matter – will be able to support this most praise-worthy initiative organized by PEGIDA UK.

MESSAGE FROM “COMPASSION IN WORLD FARMING”
We have recently received a most informative circular from the Compassion in Word Farming organisation which contained the following sections which we though many readers might find interesting :-
“Rabbits are adored pets and beloved characters in children’s stories but, in reality, life for Europe’s 330 million farmed rabbits is far from a fairy tale. In just over a month, Compassion in World Farming will be handing over a petition to the European Parliament, demanding an end to the cage age for farmed rabbits. There is still time to help us reach our goal of half a million voices .If you haven’t already done so, please add your name to this vital petition today.
“Following disturbing findings from a recent investigation by Anonymous for Animal Rights, the Israeli government has announced all slaughterhouses will have CCTV installed by the end of this year. Animals are still slaughtered without stunning in Israel, but installing CCTV is a positive step towards reducing animal suffering and holding those who break the law to account. Urge your MP to make this law in the UK too.
“The UK Government’s 25-year plan for food and farming is heading down a dangerous track. This plan, which will direct how our food will be produced, is focusing on trade, exports and increasing productivity rather than on sustainability and improving food quality. Clearly alarming developments for our health, animal welfare and the environment. The Government’s plan will directly affect England and may also influence the future of farming in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The plan is due to be published shortly so we must act now. If you’ve not already done so, please contact key ministers today, demanding they change course before it’s too late.
“Last Saturday, UK national paper The Times highlighted the scandal of misleading meat and dairy product labels that make it harder to shop compassionately. Labels with images of idyllic country scenes and farm animals roaming free disguise the reality of animals living in misery and confinement. With your support, Compassion is demanding an end to this deception and calling for compulsory ‘method of production’ labelling on all meat and dairy products across the EU.
“Waitrose and Marks & Spencer, along with Co-op Group (Switzerland) and Noble Foods, attained top marks in our review of how leading food companies are incorporating animal welfare into their business planning and policy. The Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare (BBFAW) – which is also supported by World Animal Protection and investment firm, Coller Capital – provides vital information to the investment community. Encouragingly, this year’s report reveals that companies are increasing the importance they attach to farm animal welfare. Your support is helping us give a competitive advantage to companies that take animal welfare seriously.”

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD
On 4th April Joe Marler, the Harlequins and England loose-head prop, was fined £20.000 by World Rugby and banned from playing for two weeks. His crime? Referring to Samson Lee, his opposing Welsh prop, as a “Gypsy boy”. Samson Lee comes from the travelling community in Britain, an old and noble group in society who have for generations added variety and sparkle to national life. For centuries the travelling community have been colloquially referred to as “Gypsies”, (although the term is actually a misnomer, referring to a completely separate group of wanderers from eastern Europe who emanated from either Egypt or India, who they were erroneously confused with), which was never intended to be or – until recently – regarded as an insult. Indeed a number of prominent members of the travelling community over the centuries have used the prefix “Gypsy” as a badge of honour, most notably the 19th century evangelist Gypsy Smith and the 20th century boxer Gypsy Johnny Frankham – indeed Samson Lee himself stated that he was in no way offended by the comment and wished no action to be taken against Joe Marler. So why therefore did World Rugby take such ridiculous action against Joe Marler, especially after both the RFU and Rugby Europe had earlier agreed that no action was appropriate? Quite clearly this was because some pea-brain within World Rugby stupidly thought that the term “Gypsy” was a racial epithet, and therefore should be regarded as an insult – which quite clearly it isn’t! By so doing the person or people responsible not only made fools of themselves, but also actually insulted the travelling community. We therefore call upon World Rugby to rescind this ludicrous “punishment” meted out to Joe Marler – and also to apologise to the travelling community as a whole for the implied slur against them.

BRITAIN’S TREASURE ISLANDS
Last month BBC4 screened a series of three programmes entitled “Britain’s Treasure Islands” hosted by Stewart McPherson, which provided riveting viewing showing the natural wildlife, history and present-day environments of Britain’s splendid overseas territories Visiting practically all of the overseas territories – Bermuda, Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands, the British Virgin Islands, St.Helena and Pitcairn Island etc. – Stewart McPherson expertly conveyed just what a glorious advantage and prestige these overseas territories bring to the British nation as a whole. The BBC is often criticized for kow-towing to “political correctness”, but this series was clearly the exact opposite. We therefore congratulate the BBC for commissioning and broadcasting this series, and hope that it will soon be repeated for a wider audience.

CAN YOU HELP ?
In the May 2014 edition of the SCN we asked whether anyone was still in possession of an exposé of the notorious political con-man Brendan Willmer entitled “Brendan Joseph Willmer – the Career of a Political Phoney”, as a contact had asked us for more information about him. Unfortunately nobody responded to this request, but we have now been approached by somebody completely different who also wants more details about this notorious character. Once again we therefore ask whether anyone can help us locate a copy of this document?

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.210 – Mr. & Mrs. JAMES KINNELL of Durban
James Kinnell, who was always colloquially referred to as “Jesse” (probably in reference to Jesse James!) married Susan Collins in Durban around 1984. “Jesse” himself hailed from East London, though Susan (or “Sue” as she was usually called) came from the Morningside area of Durban. “Jesse”, who worked as a representative for a large pharmaceutical company, was a resident of a communal house in Westville when Paul Roper and two other members of the “Roper Set” moved there from their previous Durban North mansion around 1978, and as a result became a highly popular member of the “Roper Set” himself. “Jesse” and Sue rapidly became a much loved couple within this circle, and all were delighted when they announced their engagement. For their marriage the following poem was written :-
Everybody’s favourite couple
Jess and Sue are wed today,
Everyone then shouts in union
Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip hooray!
As the happy day approaches
Wedding gifts begin to stack,
Roper buys a brand new iron,
“Bomber” gives a toasting rack.
From East London come relations,
Others come from Morningside,
They are lucky, once they’re bloated,
Just up the hill they’ll have to slide.
Toasts and speeches flow in earnest,
Wedding guests their glasses reach.
Do they know that Sue’s expecting
Jesse to give an eight-page speech?
Off then once the wedding’s over,
Honeymoon in Grand Seychelle.
Jesse will forget a suitcase,
That’s a trick he knows too well.
Back soon to domestic pleasure,
Jesse now a married man.
Pipe in mouth and carpet slippers,
Suzie with a frying pan.
Shortly after their marriage Jesse was transferred elsewhere in South Africa, and alas all contact thereafter ceased. It would however be great to learn whatever happened to them, and where they are now.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THESIS IN BLACK AND WHITE
Sir,
It is 50 years since the MV Southern Cross inched its way into Durban Harbour and I looked across the gulf between the ship and the wharf and I felt the first real thrill of being in Africa.
My first episode in a South African public toilet was rather jolly. All the Black men stared at me as I walked to the urinal. I knew about apartheid but my practical self wasn't as well equipped with logic. I stared back and mumbled... 'What the f..k are you staring at?'. Then I realised! My Irish face deepened its blush and I realised I had stopped pissing. Zip! Out the door and lesson learned!
I learned much in my first year in RSA. Demetri Tsafendas drove his knife into Dr.H.F.Verwoerd up the road from where I worked in Cape Town. The public reaction was muted and I was surprised by this public apathy. There was more commotion in the office boys' room than there was amidst 'White South Africa'.
In my time there in '66 I learned much of Africa. I returned to RSA in 1970 but this time stayed in the Transvaal and the life I had known four years earlier had changed, or at least Johannesburg was a totally different place from Cape Town, and I didn't like the atmosphere on the highveld.
I returned to RSA quite a few times and with each return visit my appreciation of South Africa changed and I was becoming hardened. I stopped getting out of the way of pavement shoulders [those shoulders that bumped into you as you walked through Johannesburg] and began bumping back. I was at war with Jo’burg streets and Jo’burg street behaviour.
I have worked and lived in Swaziland, Botswana, Rhodesia, and RSA; and have visited a few more northerly African countries. Nothing compared with RSA for hostility and resentment. What made me wonder was the relatively ignorant knowledge of Africans shown by ‘die Blanke’. Naivety found its niche among the lexicon of South Africa.
I left RSA finally in '77 because of personal reasons that were heavily influenced by the writing of Aida Parker which illustrated how the ANC would eventually rule RSA and what that would mean. I returned briefly in the period 80-82 and again in 87 and Aida's words rang true. Aida wrote about Hani and it was clear that this murderer [and that is what Chris Hani was - a dirty murderer] would be a negative influence upon RSA. Even Mandela had his doubts about Hani.
The ANC has ruled RSA since '94 and in that time the Rand has become toilet paper [though toilet paper is useful] and the Bokke are being beaten by the nobodies of world Rugby.
On the good news front it is good to see ‘Zoomer’ being made to repay all those millions he wasted on his palace. This bloke is worse than Mbeki.
I see no rescue for RSA and I have grudgingly to admire the stalwarts who have remained in RSA. With farm murders decimating 'White RSA' I see no future except mayhem. What will the stalwarts do?
All this is grist for my PhD mill. I am steering my thesis toward an explanation as to why White people look upon Black people as they do. In all relationships the parties all respond to each other and this response generates further response. It is a tricky thesis. Blame is shelved as reason is sought.
Yours etc.,
A.K.E., Tabulam, N.S.W., Australia.

TOP MARK
Sir,
I would like to suggest several things to certain contemporaries and opponents of mine in the 1970s: 1) look back at Rhodesia, 2) look at Zimbabwe now and over the last few decades, 3) apologise - if not to me, then posthumously to Ian Smith. British governments were on the wrong side.
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.
----------------------------
TORY LOSS
Sir,
This article which recently appeared in The Daily Mail is tragic. The vile product of guilt and affirmative action. I do feel the Tories were wimps in the 80's not to act on the basis of the recommendation from one of the young advisors in Central Office to offer refuge in the UK to all our people in South Africa. A criminally lost opportunity to act morally and to support civilisation. Hard to know what can possibly be done now to transform this situation.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3462336/The-white-squatter-camps-South-Africa-home-hundreds-families-enduring-terrible-poverty-blame-fall-Apartheid.html.
Yours etc.,
“Patriotic Lawyer”, London, U.K.
----------------------------
DIM SPARK
Sir,
In his article “Zuma's Crazy Antics could cost us our Independence” which appeared on News24, Mr Allister Sparks talks about “our hard-won independence” This is drivel, as de Klerk just gave everything to the terrorists, including my future and that of millions of others. Nothing was “won” - it was a hand-out, the biggest in history might I add.
Yours etc.,
Roy Winsor, Canterbury, Kent, U.K.

THE CURSE OF SWINTON
Most readers will undoubtedly remember the reports which we carried about the disastrous Swinton Circle meeting of 31st July 2015, which was invaded by some two dozen uninvited political opponents who then proceeded to disrupt proceedings and totally wreck the meeting.
One of these gate-crashers gave his name as Steve Uncles and openly admitted being a leading member of the so-called “English Democrats” party – an English equivalent to the SNP, and therefore a party which is diametrically opposed to the Swinton Circle’s staunch Unionist principles. We were therefore shocked and angered when we saw that this Mr.Uncles had put his name forward for election to the post of Kent Police and Crime Commissioner. How anyone who behaves in such a hooliganistic manner by invading a meeting staged by political opponents completely uninvited, and then shouting out offensive slogans to disrupt proceedings, can consider themselves qualified to hold an important law-enforcing position totally defies belief!
Happily, however, we can report that Mr.Uncles ignominiously finished bottom of the poll in this election, and even more humiliatingly was beaten by an Independent Indian candidate! The good people of Kent are therefore to be congratulated upon so soundly and overwhelmingly rejecting this ghastly man and his vile party!

April 2016 Edition.
SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
April 2016 edition
On Thursday 24th March voting closed in the New Zealand Flag Referendum, and the result, which was announced the following day, showed that not only had the New Zealand people voted decisively to retain the current and traditional design of their national flag, retaining as it does the Union Flag symbolizing New Zealand’s British ethnic identity, but did so by a massive margin of 13.5%!
The factors which made this victory even more impressive were that 64 of the 70 New Zealand electoral divisions voted in favour of retaining their true flag, and also that the current New Zealand Government, large sections of the media and a high number of “celebrity personalities” advocated adopting a new flag design containing no signs of New Zealand’s ethnic origins. The people of New Zealand therefore totally rejected their “chattering classes” who wished to change the very identity of their nation.
This vote of course occurred only 16 and a half years after the Australian people voted equally decisively to retain the monarchy, thus continuing to share a common Crown with the other nations of British ethnic identity around the globe. Again this vote surprised the “chattering classes”, and saw all six of Australia’s states voting in unity to retain the monarchy. Furthermore, even the new Trudeau Liberal Government of Canada has announced that there is absolutely no support for the idea of Canada abandoning the Crown – and it also shouldn’t be forgotten that in recent years Bermuda, the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar have all voted overwhelmingly to remain British Overseas Territories.
Now it is the turn of the British heartland, the United Kingdom itself, to act equally decisively in solidarity with its global kith and kin, all others of whom have already shown their loyalty in turn, for on Thursday 23rd June the UK will vote on whether to remain in or to Leave the European Union. The EU of course is a completely artificial entity which attempts to merge together and thereby destroy the national identities of all the great European nation-states. Membership of the EU has clearly been a disaster for Britain – economically, culturally and security-wise – and furthermore has severely damaged (though as we have seen not destroyed) its fraternal links with its kith and kin around the globe. There seems to be absolutely no reason for the UK to remain in the EU therefore, but alas there exists a sinister section of the population who, either for reasons of selfish self-interest or because they are loyal to a foreign power, wish their own country ill.
The vote on 23rd June therefore currently looks like being a lot closer than all logic says that it should be, and will undoubtedly be decided by whichever side is better motivated and can generate more optimism and excitement about the future. It is therefore essential that all true Britons campaign fervently to persuade their fellow-countrymen that Voting Leave is the only option for the future well-being of themselves, their children and their country as whole. For this reason those behind the Swinton Circle are to be congratulated upon deciding to suspend all activities for the first half of the year so that their supporters can concentrate solely upon campaigning for a Vote Leave victory.
But the Vote Leave campaign should not concentrate purely upon the economic and social advantages of leaving the EU. They should also inspire the electorate with a golden vision of the future – a future not of “splendid isolation”, but of a rejuvenated, better and more compatible global grouping of nations of our similar kith and kin. This future the New Zealanders have recently emphatically embraced, with the Australians doing likewise only shortly before them, is still “out there waiting” in the big outside world! We also of course hope and advocate that once established every effort should be made to restore civilized rule to South Africa and the erstwhile Rhodesia, so that these nations may also join this new Commonwealth grouping – and by so doing, just as New Zealand has retained its true and traditional flag, the true, traditional and beloved “Oranje, Wit en Blou” may once again fly over Cape Town, Pretoria, Durban and Bloemfontein!

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The Kent Branch of the Springbok Club staged a small informal get-together in Canterbury earlier this month in order to celebrate Van Riebeeck’s Day. It was particularly good to be able to welcome back an old supporter, Colin Lucas, at this event, after personal circumstances had unfortunately prevented him from active involvement for a number of years. The Springbok Club is also planning a similar informal get-together in London later this month. If any supporter would like to be notified about the details of this event then please either e-mail: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk or ‘phone: 07711188430.
----------------------------
In late May the Springbok Club will be holding a special event to celebrate Empire Day, at which it is hoped to welcome a prominent New Zealand supporter as guest of honour. In June the Springbok Club will be staging a visit to a site of special historic interest in south-east England, and in July will be holding a special meeting with a Rhodesian theme in order to celebrate Rhodes and Founders Day.
------------------------------------------------------------------
SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
As readers will be aware, the Swinton Circle has currently suspended operations both in order to allow its supporters to concentrate upon campaigning for a “Leave” vote on 23rd June and also so that discussions can take place with the leaders of two other patriotic organizations with a view of forming a more united structure. In spite of this, however, a number of our supporters still took part in a big “Support the Truckers” demonstration in Dover (expressing solidarity with the British truck drivers constantly being plagued by illegal migrants trying to hi-jack rides on their vehicles whilst returning from the continent) earlier this month, which evidently proved a great success and generated considerable local interest.
The Swinton Circle has also recently been specifically contacted by two other similarly-minded organizations and asked to support their forthcoming activities and campaigns. Firstly the Swinton Circle has been contacted by the PEGIDA UK organisation who have asked them to join a demonstration which they are staging in Rotherham on 28th May in protest against convicted Muslim rape gangs in the town, and the lack of action being taken by the local authorities to prevent this evil activity. (In spite of certain concerns regarding this organisation expressed in last month’s SCN it has been most encouraging to learn of PEGIDA UK’s willingness to co-operate with other patriotic organizations in this regard, so we therefore encourage all supporters in Yorkshire – and elsewhere around the country for that matter – to participate in this important protest. Fuller details will of course be given in next month’s SCN). Secondly the Swinton Circle has been contacted by The Bruges Group and told about their new Campaign Centre which they have established at: 6-6A Spring Bridge Road, Ealing, London W5 2AA, in order to assist with the “Vote Leave” campaign. This Campaign Centre can be contacted at: robert@brugesgroup.com and 020 7287 4414, and all help and support in advancing the campaign at this centre is of course encouraged.
Alas the Swinton Circle recently encountered one quite disturbing problem however, as the erstwhile Chairman and Treasurer of the Organisation, Mr.Robin Willow, has made some quite childish allegations against one of its leading officials. Mr.Willow, of course, gave a weak and inept performance as Chairman at the disastrous Swinton Circle meeting of 31st July, and after he was severely criticised for this disgraceful dereliction of duty he disappeared in a “huff” and has been uncontactable ever since. As he was also Treasurer of the organisation (in retrospect he should never have been allowed to hold two such important positions simultaneously, particularly as he proved inefficient at both) he was therefore asked to account for the organisation’s funds (at all six AGMs of the organisation whilst he was Treasurer he never once presented any proper accounts) and to return the balance. It was when he was castigated for not returning these funds that he made his infantile attack. In the course of making this slanderous accusation it also came to light that he was still in contact with Mr.Paul Griffin, who of course openly revealed himself as being in league with one of those who disrupted and wrecked the notorious meeting of 31st July, although their precise relationship is unknown. The Swinton Circle is now therefore investigating the possibilities of taking further action against Mr.Willow for the return of its funds. The Swinton Circle has also recently heard the rumour that the name of main disrupter who gate-crashed the chaotic meeting of 31st July, and who was subsequently discovered to be an Islamo-fascist, was either “Horne” or “Horn”. Does anyone know anything further about a political extremist by this name we therefore wonder?

SAVE THE ZIMBABWE 23
We have recently received the following most upsetting message from Network for Animals regarding the 23 surviving elephants who were sold to Communist China by the ZANU-PF regime in “Zimbabwe” :-
“Twenty-three baby elephants being held in horrible conditions in a Chinese quarantine facility are likely to die unless we can persuade the Chinese government to intervene and provide them with a larger living area.
“One elephant has already died and the others are all showing signs of illness and poor physical and mental condition. We cannot stand by and see this happen. We urgently need to save these elephants.
“The elephants are being held in tiny cages with only a small, barred, concrete yard to exercise in once a day. What makes it worse is that these poor creatures face two more years in these conditions before the new zoo they are destined for is built.
“We have been tormented by a video which has been obtained showing the babies with open wounds and being prodded through the bars by men with long prods.
“The zoo is doing nothing to help, the elephants’ only chance is if we can help the Chinese Government to get them a big enough area where they can exercise and interact with each other. We are doing all we can but need your help to do more.
“Please sign our petition to help us in our work to save the Zimbabwe 23.”

THIRD WORLD VENUES
The recent T20 World Cup held in India was beset by problems. The scheduling of the preliminary matches without a reserve day being set-aside in case of bad weather meant that many important games had to be abandoned without a ball being bowled, with the outcome being that several leading sides – most notably Ireland – failed to qualify through no fault of their own. Many of the matches which were played clearly took place on sub-standard pitches, and crowds (except when India themselves were playing) were disappointingly low. When compared to last year’s actual Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, which was superbly administered and hugely successful, the difference in standards has therefore been glaringly obvious.
But such poorly-organised global sporting tournaments held in Third World countries are nothing new. One only has to remember the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies, the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games – and of course most chaotic of all the 2010 Soccer World Cup in the “new” South Africa! Again comparisons with events held before and afterwards in First World countries are highly illuminating. The Commonwealth Games of 2006 in Melbourne and 2014 in Glasgow, the Olympic Games of 2004 in Athens and 2012 in London, and the Soccer World Cups of 2006 in Germany and 2014 in Brazil, were all infinitely better organized than their problem-marred Third World equivalents in between.
Surely therefore it is now time to stage all major global sporting tournaments in the advanced countries of Europe, Australasia and the Americas, rather than in the decaying chaos of Africa and Asia.

AUSTRALIAN NEWS
Late last year the Australian Party for Freedom planned to hold a “Cronulla Ten Year Memorial” event in Sydney in order to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the notorious Cronulla riots (when violence broke out in the Sydney beach suburb of Cronulla after gangs of Muslim Lebanese immigrants attacked and sexually molested Australian youngsters enjoying their traditional Australian beach culture). Unfortunately, however, a ban was imposed on this event by the “Australian Human Rights Commission” and the local Sutherland Shire Council. The Party for Freedom haven’t taken this infringement on their rights to free speech lying down however, and have lodged a legal challenge to this ban with the Federal Court of Australia. At the time of writing we do not know the outcome of this challenge, but of course we wish the Party for Freedom well, and will try to report on further developments regarding this case in future editions of the SCN.

NOTTINGHAM PROTEST HIGHLIGHTS MUGABE’S CRIMES
The following most disturbing report appeared in January 2016 edition of the magazine The Flag, a publication which reports on Zimbabwe matters :-
“A White Zimbabwean farming family have been handcuffed and frog marched off their land to make way for a Black “British” doctor who runs a slimming clinic in Nottingham and whose wife is friend of Mugabe. The Rankin family, who have farmed tobacco in Zimbabwe for decades, were handcuffed by police and dragged off their land so it could be claimed by Sylvester Nyatsuro.
“Dr Nyatsuro, 45, is originally from Zimbabwe but has lived in Britain for at least 15 years, and is now in charge of his own GP practice. He and his wife Veronica were allocated the Rankins’ farm under Robert Mugabe’s controversial land seizure laws which allow the state to take the property of White people and hand it over to ‘indigenous’ Black Africans.
“Phillip Rankin, 57, has lived at Kingston Deverill farm in the north of Zimbabwe for more than 30 years with his wife Anita and their three children. The size of the tobacco farm has been progressively reduced since Mugabe’s land grabs began in 2000, and last year he was told that he must leave the property for good.
“Dr Nyatsuro, who is linked to the Mugabe’s, apparently turned up at Kingston Deverill in September with a government document saying that he was now the rightful owner of the land. The Rankins refused to leave without being compensated for their property, having recently planted a £300,000 tobacco crop, but two dozen settlers moved into an empty cottage nearby and a warrant was issued for Phillip’s arrest.
“In the early hours of Friday morning, 20 police officers dug under the fence surrounding the family’s home and knocked on the door before carting away most of their belongings. They then handcuffed Mr. Rankin and took him to a police station before later releasing him to stay with relatives.
“His son Barry, speaking from his new home in the capital Harare [Salisbury], today described how the family thought they had ‘survived’ after they held onto their land in the initial wave of confiscations by the Mugabe regime. The government insists it is necessary to reduce the Whites’ economic dominance which dates back to the colonial era [sic] - but opponents claim it is a tyrannical and unfair process which bears little relation to justice.
“The White farmers, many of whom have occupied the same plots for decades, were removed from their homes without compensation and often suffered violence from police during the evictions. Around 20 farmers and their workers died during the first wave of seizures, which contributed to the country’s economic collapse as Zimbabwe’s skills base was hollowed out and the amount of crops produced tumbled.
“The policy also led to allegations that Mugabe’s cronies were more likely to be given land than genuinely needy citizens. Roughly 300 White farmers were left in possession of their land, but last year the policy of confiscation seems to have started again, threatening the last remaining holdouts such as the Rankin family in Centenary.
“Dr Nyatsuro’s lawyer today denied that his client had clashed with the Rankin family, claiming that the farmers had not been able to prove that they are the rightful owners of the land. The Foreign Office has expressed concern over the seizure of the Rankins’ farm and suggested that it ‘did not follow the process as described by the constitution’.”
Since this report appeared we have received the following update from the editor of The Flag, who has informed us about a demonstration outside Nyatsuro’s clinic in Nottingham :-
“Dr Nyatsuro’s wife Veronica, who is related to Grace Mugabe, is the clinic’s practice manager and angrily ordered one of the protesters off her property when he started handing out leaflets. She didn’t seem to have much grasp of property rights as he was on the pavement. He advised her to call the police which she did. Unfortunately for her the police didn’t support her effort to claim ownership of the pavement. The demonstrator put up the following notice outside the entrance to the clinic: ‘Dr Nyatsuro: I am a White indigenous British citizen. Leave this clinic within 24 hours because I want it. I am not a doctor but you are not a farmer. Ask your relative Mugabe for compensation’.”

"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.209 – Mr. JAN TAITS of London
Jan Taits first made contact with our movement when he subscribed to S.A.Patriot magazine during the mid-1980s. He subsequently visited South Africa when we thus had the great pleasure of being able to meet him in person. We were immediately highly impressed with him, as he clearly and enthusiastically supported the struggle to maintain civilized rule in South Africa. After we were forced to relocate to the UK in 1990 we established even closer and more regular contact with him, and indeed he was a member of the original founding Committee of the Springbok Club, where everyone found him a most friendly and engaging person. Although he lived in north London he came from a most geographically disparate background, being a quarter Estonian, a quarter German, a quarter Scandinavian and a quarter British! He was however a keen and sincere White patriot in the broadest context, although alas he was at times somewhat naïve in some of his more shadey contacts which he made contact with. Unfortunately he completely disappeared from the scene around 2000 following the premature death of his mother, and although we continued to send him invitations to his last known address he alas failed to attend any further Springbok Club meetings. Shortly before he sadly died the late Peter King managed to make contact with him again, and he evidently expressed interest in becoming active in our movement again, though disappointingly we still saw nothing more of him. It would therefore be great if we could make direct contact with him once more.

RECOMMENDED WEB-SITES OF THE MONTH
All decent people must have been outraged at the sight of dignitaries from the Republic of Ireland “honouring” the nationalist terrorists who died during the 1916 Dublin insurrection, and paying their “respects” to them during the recent 100th anniversary of this terrorist atrocity. .The thing which made this spectacle particularly sickening was that it took place at the same time as a similar terrorist outrage was taking place in Belgium – and it should not be forgotten in this respect that in 1916 Britain (and by this we mean all of Britain, including Irish men and women of all religions) was fighting a ferocious war against an aggressive enemy who had committed earlier evil atrocities against Belgium!
We firmly believe that it is those members of the security forces who fell fighting against the Fenian terrorists who should be honoured and respected, and not the terrorist vermin themselves. These consisted of 23 Policemen (RIC and Dublin Metropolitan Police) and 103 soldiers – and we also should not forget the estimated 374 innocent Dublin civilians who were also killed by the terrorists. An excellent web-site exists remembering each of the 103 soldiers (though alas not the 23 Policemen) who died, and this can be accessed at :-
http://irishmedals.org/participants-in-the-1916-rising_1.html
We should also specifically remember the brave students from the Trinity College (Dublin University) Officer Training Corps who raided the OTC armoury in order to take up arms against the nationalist terrorists, and by so doing saved that beautiful British city of Dublin from even greater damage. One name in particular who should be remembered was Cadet Robert N. Tweedy DUOTC who received a special award for his courage. This we believe was the only occasion when any OTC unit ever took up arms under their own banner in an actual conflict.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
WORLD’S VIEW ……
Sir,
Cecil Rhodes is one of my personal heroes. I consider it a tragedy that he died so young. Had he lived on, I have a vision of an alliance between a Britain led by Rhodes and an America led by Theodore Roosevelt. I would also inform Oriel College of his belief in "equal rights for all civilised men".
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.

STEADFAST SUPPORT
Sir,
Hats off to the Australians who protested against the White genocide (see January 2016 SCN), which is not just horribly explicit as in South Africa, but implicit in all the collusive promotion of non-White immigration throughout the Western world. Or so it seems to me.
Yours etc.,
Stead Steadman, London, U.K.

GOOD OLD SMITHY!
Sir,
I was privileged to meet Ian Smith back in 1974. I was, as an Aussie, an interim member of the Rhodesian Front, living in Gwelo, close to Selukwe where I.S. had his family, I was fortunate enough to relief-manage the Selukwe Grand for a month or so. Met the Prime Minister with his Mum.
Smith rolled up to the opening of Parliament in nothing more than a Peugeot 404 to save money and to set example. Compare this with “Moo Garbage” and his multi-million dollar motor cars.
Smith is the most misunderstood man in modern history. How they painted this fine man in the press is one of history's great lies.
Yours etc.,
A.K., New South Wales, Australia.

OBITUARY
ABE SEGAL
It was with great sadness that we learnt of the recent death of Abe Segal, the famed South African Lawn Tennis player of the 1950s and 60s.
Born in 1930 in the vibrant Doornfontein district of Johannesburg, Abe Segal became the most prominent male South African Tennis player of the post-WWII era. More of a doubles specialist (he only won the South African Men’s Single title once, whereas he was Men’s Doubles champion on five occasions), he formed a formidable partnership with Gordon Forbes, who together reached the French Open Final twice.
But there were many other facets to Abe Segal. He was a bon vivant with an infectious sense of humour, who fully believed in living life to the full – as was expertly illustrated in Gordon Forbes’ sporting classic “A Handful of Summers”. In continued playing and coaching Tennis almost to his dying day, but also in his later years became an accomplished painter and wrote his own highly-acclaimed book “Hey Big Boy”. A true South African patriot, he took great pride in playing for his country in the Davis Cup, often producing performances of an even higher standard than when he was only playing on the individual circuit.
Abe Segal, however, personified the Corinthian spirit of the days of amateur sport better than most. Sport to him and others of his ilk was more about fun rather than making money, and this halcyon attitude rose to its greatest zenith in pioneer societies such as his own in South Africa far more naturally than in the staid societies of old Europe. Life was for living, and in no other field of human activity could this be better exemplified than in competitive sport.
We need more people with the spirit of Abe Segal today, but firmly believe that such people are still arising in pioneer and expatriate communities around the globe at the moment. Our sincere condolences are extended to all members of Abe Segal’s family.

April 2016 edition
On Thursday 24th March voting closed in the New Zealand Flag Referendum, and the result, which was announced the following day, showed that not only had the New Zealand people voted decisively to retain the current and traditional design of their national flag, retaining as it does the Union Flag symbolizing New Zealand’s British ethnic identity, but did so by a massive margin of 13.5%!
The factors which made this victory even more impressive were that 64 of the 70 New Zealand electoral divisions voted in favour of retaining their true flag, and also that the current New Zealand Government, large sections of the media and a high number of “celebrity personalities” advocated adopting a new flag design containing no signs of New Zealand’s ethnic origins. The people of New Zealand therefore totally rejected their “chattering classes” who wished to change the very identity of their nation.
This vote of course occurred only 16 and a half years after the Australian people voted equally decisively to retain the monarchy, thus continuing to share a common Crown with the other nations of British ethnic identity around the globe. Again this vote surprised the “chattering classes”, and saw all six of Australia’s states voting in unity to retain the monarchy. Furthermore, even the new Trudeau Liberal Government of Canada has announced that there is absolutely no support for the idea of Canada abandoning the Crown – and it also shouldn’t be forgotten that in recent years Bermuda, the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar have all voted overwhelmingly to remain British Overseas Territories.
Now it is the turn of the British heartland, the United Kingdom itself, to act equally decisively in solidarity with its global kith and kin, all others of whom have already shown their loyalty in turn, for on Thursday 23rd June the UK will vote on whether to remain in or to Leave the European Union. The EU of course is a completely artificial entity which attempts to merge together and thereby destroy the national identities of all the great European nation-states. Membership of the EU has clearly been a disaster for Britain – economically, culturally and security-wise – and furthermore has severely damaged (though as we have seen not destroyed) its fraternal links with its kith and kin around the globe. There seems to be absolutely no reason for the UK to remain in the EU therefore, but alas there exists a sinister section of the population who, either for reasons of selfish self-interest or because they are loyal to a foreign power, wish their own country ill.
The vote on 23rd June therefore currently looks like being a lot closer than all logic says that it should be, and will undoubtedly be decided by whichever side is better motivated and can generate more optimism and excitement about the future. It is therefore essential that all true Britons campaign fervently to persuade their fellow-countrymen that Voting Leave is the only option for the future well-being of themselves, their children and their country as whole. For this reason those behind the Swinton Circle are to be congratulated upon deciding to suspend all activities for the first half of the year so that their supporters can concentrate solely upon campaigning for a Vote Leave victory.
But the Vote Leave campaign should not concentrate purely upon the economic and social advantages of leaving the EU. They should also inspire the electorate with a golden vision of the future – a future not of “splendid isolation”, but of a rejuvenated, better and more compatible global grouping of nations of our similar kith and kin. This future the New Zealanders have recently emphatically embraced, with the Australians doing likewise only shortly before them, is still “out there waiting” in the big outside world! We also of course hope and advocate that once established every effort should be made to restore civilized rule to South Africa and the erstwhile Rhodesia, so that these nations may also join this new Commonwealth grouping – and by so doing, just as New Zealand has retained its true and traditional flag, the true, traditional and beloved “Oranje, Wit en Blou” may once again fly over Cape Town, Pretoria, Durban and Bloemfontein!

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The Kent Branch of the Springbok Club staged a small informal get-together in Canterbury earlier this month in order to celebrate Van Riebeeck’s Day. It was particularly good to be able to welcome back an old supporter, Colin Lucas, at this event, after personal circumstances had unfortunately prevented him from active involvement for a number of years. The Springbok Club is also planning a similar informal get-together in London later this month. If any supporter would like to be notified about the details of this event then please either e-mail: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk or ‘phone: 07711188430.
----------------------------
In late May the Springbok Club will be holding a special event to celebrate Empire Day, at which it is hoped to welcome a prominent New Zealand supporter as guest of honour. In June the Springbok Club will be staging a visit to a site of special historic interest in south-east England, and in July will be holding a special meeting with a Rhodesian theme in order to celebrate Rhodes and Founders Day.
------------------------------------------------------------------
SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
As readers will be aware, the Swinton Circle has currently suspended operations both in order to allow its supporters to concentrate upon campaigning for a “Leave” vote on 23rd June and also so that discussions can take place with the leaders of two other patriotic organizations with a view of forming a more united structure. In spite of this, however, a number of our supporters still took part in a big “Support the Truckers” demonstration in Dover (expressing solidarity with the British truck drivers constantly being plagued by illegal migrants trying to hi-jack rides on their vehicles whilst returning from the continent) earlier this month, which evidently proved a great success and generated considerable local interest.
The Swinton Circle has also recently been specifically contacted by two other similarly-minded organizations and asked to support their forthcoming activities and campaigns. Firstly the Swinton Circle has been contacted by the PEGIDA UK organisation who have asked them to join a demonstration which they are staging in Rotherham on 28th May in protest against convicted Muslim rape gangs in the town, and the lack of action being taken by the local authorities to prevent this evil activity. (In spite of certain concerns regarding this organisation expressed in last month’s SCN it has been most encouraging to learn of PEGIDA UK’s willingness to co-operate with other patriotic organizations in this regard, so we therefore encourage all supporters in Yorkshire – and elsewhere around the country for that matter – to participate in this important protest. Fuller details will of course be given in next month’s SCN). Secondly the Swinton Circle has been contacted by The Bruges Group and told about their new Campaign Centre which they have established at: 6-6A Spring Bridge Road, Ealing, London W5 2AA, in order to assist with the “Vote Leave” campaign. This Campaign Centre can be contacted at: robert@brugesgroup.com and 020 7287 4414, and all help and support in advancing the campaign at this centre is of course encouraged.
Alas the Swinton Circle recently encountered one quite disturbing problem however, as the erstwhile Chairman and Treasurer of the Organisation, Mr.Robin Willow, has made some quite childish allegations against one of its leading officials. Mr.Willow, of course, gave a weak and inept performance as Chairman at the disastrous Swinton Circle meeting of 31st July, and after he was severely criticised for this disgraceful dereliction of duty he disappeared in a “huff” and has been uncontactable ever since. As he was also Treasurer of the organisation (in retrospect he should never have been allowed to hold two such important positions simultaneously, particularly as he proved inefficient at both) he was therefore asked to account for the organisation’s funds (at all six AGMs of the organisation whilst he was Treasurer he never once presented any proper accounts) and to return the balance. It was when he was castigated for not returning these funds that he made his infantile attack. In the course of making this slanderous accusation it also came to light that he was still in contact with Mr.Paul Griffin, who of course openly revealed himself as being in league with one of those who disrupted and wrecked the notorious meeting of 31st July, although their precise relationship is unknown. The Swinton Circle is now therefore investigating the possibilities of taking further action against Mr.Willow for the return of its funds. The Swinton Circle has also recently heard the rumour that the name of main disrupter who gate-crashed the chaotic meeting of 31st July, and who was subsequently discovered to be an Islamo-fascist, was either “Horne” or “Horn”. Does anyone know anything further about a political extremist by this name we therefore wonder?

SAVE THE ZIMBABWE 23
We have recently received the following most upsetting message from Network for Animals regarding the 23 surviving elephants who were sold to Communist China by the ZANU-PF regime in “Zimbabwe” :-
“Twenty-three baby elephants being held in horrible conditions in a Chinese quarantine facility are likely to die unless we can persuade the Chinese government to intervene and provide them with a larger living area.
“One elephant has already died and the others are all showing signs of illness and poor physical and mental condition. We cannot stand by and see this happen. We urgently need to save these elephants.
“The elephants are being held in tiny cages with only a small, barred, concrete yard to exercise in once a day. What makes it worse is that these poor creatures face two more years in these conditions before the new zoo they are destined for is built.
“We have been tormented by a video which has been obtained showing the babies with open wounds and being prodded through the bars by men with long prods.
“The zoo is doing nothing to help, the elephants’ only chance is if we can help the Chinese Government to get them a big enough area where they can exercise and interact with each other. We are doing all we can but need your help to do more.

THIRD WORLD VENUES
The recent T20 World Cup held in India was beset by problems. The scheduling of the preliminary matches without a reserve day being set-aside in case of bad weather meant that many important games had to be abandoned without a ball being bowled, with the outcome being that several leading sides – most notably Ireland – failed to qualify through no fault of their own. Many of the matches which were played clearly took place on sub-standard pitches, and crowds (except when India themselves were playing) were disappointingly low. When compared to last year’s actual Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, which was superbly administered and hugely successful, the difference in standards has therefore been glaringly obvious.
But such poorly-organised global sporting tournaments held in Third World countries are nothing new. One only has to remember the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies, the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games – and of course most chaotic of all the 2010 Soccer World Cup in the “new” South Africa! Again comparisons with events held before and afterwards in First World countries are highly illuminating. The Commonwealth Games of 2006 in Melbourne and 2014 in Glasgow, the Olympic Games of 2004 in Athens and 2012 in London, and the Soccer World Cups of 2006 in Germany and 2014 in Brazil, were all infinitely better organized than their problem-marred Third World equivalents in between.
Surely therefore it is now time to stage all major global sporting tournaments in the advanced countries of Europe, Australasia and the Americas, rather than in the decaying chaos of Africa and Asia.

AUSTRALIAN NEWS
Late last year the Australian Party for Freedom planned to hold a “Cronulla Ten Year Memorial” event in Sydney in order to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the notorious Cronulla riots (when violence broke out in the Sydney beach suburb of Cronulla after gangs of Muslim Lebanese immigrants attacked and sexually molested Australian youngsters enjoying their traditional Australian beach culture). Unfortunately, however, a ban was imposed on this event by the “Australian Human Rights Commission” and the local Sutherland Shire Council. The Party for Freedom haven’t taken this infringement on their rights to free speech lying down however, and have lodged a legal challenge to this ban with the Federal Court of Australia. At the time of writing we do not know the outcome of this challenge, but of course we wish the Party for Freedom well, and will try to report on further developments regarding this case in future editions of the SCN.

NOTTINGHAM PROTEST HIGHLIGHTS MUGABE’S CRIMES
The following most disturbing report appeared in January 2016 edition of the magazine The Flag, a publication which reports on Zimbabwe matters :-
“A White Zimbabwean farming family have been handcuffed and frog marched off their land to make way for a Black “British” doctor who runs a slimming clinic in Nottingham and whose wife is friend of Mugabe. The Rankin family, who have farmed tobacco in Zimbabwe for decades, were handcuffed by police and dragged off their land so it could be claimed by Sylvester Nyatsuro.
“Dr Nyatsuro, 45, is originally from Zimbabwe but has lived in Britain for at least 15 years, and is now in charge of his own GP practice. He and his wife Veronica were allocated the Rankins’ farm under Robert Mugabe’s controversial land seizure laws which allow the state to take the property of White people and hand it over to ‘indigenous’ Black Africans.
“Phillip Rankin, 57, has lived at Kingston Deverill farm in the north of Zimbabwe for more than 30 years with his wife Anita and their three children. The size of the tobacco farm has been progressively reduced since Mugabe’s land grabs began in 2000, and last year he was told that he must leave the property for good.
“Dr Nyatsuro, who is linked to the Mugabe’s, apparently turned up at Kingston Deverill in September with a government document saying that he was now the rightful owner of the land. The Rankins refused to leave without being compensated for their property, having recently planted a £300,000 tobacco crop, but two dozen settlers moved into an empty cottage nearby and a warrant was issued for Phillip’s arrest.
“In the early hours of Friday morning, 20 police officers dug under the fence surrounding the family’s home and knocked on the door before carting away most of their belongings. They then handcuffed Mr. Rankin and took him to a police station before later releasing him to stay with relatives.
“His son Barry, speaking from his new home in the capital Harare [Salisbury], today described how the family thought they had ‘survived’ after they held onto their land in the initial wave of confiscations by the Mugabe regime. The government insists it is necessary to reduce the Whites’ economic dominance which dates back to the colonial era [sic] - but opponents claim it is a tyrannical and unfair process which bears little relation to justice.
“The White farmers, many of whom have occupied the same plots for decades, were removed from their homes without compensation and often suffered violence from police during the evictions. Around 20 farmers and their workers died during the first wave of seizures, which contributed to the country’s economic collapse as Zimbabwe’s skills base was hollowed out and the amount of crops produced tumbled.
“The policy also led to allegations that Mugabe’s cronies were more likely to be given land than genuinely needy citizens. Roughly 300 White farmers were left in possession of their land, but last year the policy of confiscation seems to have started again, threatening the last remaining holdouts such as the Rankin family in Centenary.
“Dr Nyatsuro’s lawyer today denied that his client had clashed with the Rankin family, claiming that the farmers had not been able to prove that they are the rightful owners of the land. The Foreign Office has expressed concern over the seizure of the Rankins’ farm and suggested that it ‘did not follow the process as described by the constitution’.”
Since this report appeared we have received the following update from the editor of The Flag, who has informed us about a demonstration outside Nyatsuro’s clinic in Nottingham :-
“Dr Nyatsuro’s wife Veronica, who is related to Grace Mugabe, is the clinic’s practice manager and angrily ordered one of the protesters off her property when he started handing out leaflets. She didn’t seem to have much grasp of property rights as he was on the pavement. He advised her to call the police which she did. Unfortunately for her the police didn’t support her effort to claim ownership of the pavement. The demonstrator put up the following notice outside the entrance to the clinic: ‘Dr Nyatsuro: I am a White indigenous British citizen. Leave this clinic within 24 hours because I want it. I am not a doctor but you are not a farmer. Ask your relative Mugabe for compensation’.”

"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.209 – Mr. JAN TAITS of London
Jan Taits first made contact with our movement when he subscribed to S.A.Patriot magazine during the mid-1980s. He subsequently visited South Africa when we thus had the great pleasure of being able to meet him in person. We were immediately highly impressed with him, as he clearly and enthusiastically supported the struggle to maintain civilized rule in South Africa. After we were forced to relocate to the UK in 1990 we established even closer and more regular contact with him, and indeed he was a member of the original founding Committee of the Springbok Club, where everyone found him a most friendly and engaging person. Although he lived in north London he came from a most geographically disparate background, being a quarter Estonian, a quarter German, a quarter Scandinavian and a quarter British! He was however a keen and sincere White patriot in the broadest context, although alas he was at times somewhat naïve in some of his more shadey contacts which he made contact with. Unfortunately he completely disappeared from the scene around 2000 following the premature death of his mother, and although we continued to send him invitations to his last known address he alas failed to attend any further Springbok Club meetings. Shortly before he sadly died the late Peter King managed to make contact with him again, and he evidently expressed interest in becoming active in our movement again, though disappointingly we still saw nothing more of him. It would therefore be great if we could make direct contact with him once more.

RECOMMENDED WEB-SITES OF THE MONTH
All decent people must have been outraged at the sight of dignitaries from the Republic of Ireland “honouring” the nationalist terrorists who died during the 1916 Dublin insurrection, and paying their “respects” to them during the recent 100th anniversary of this terrorist atrocity. .The thing which made this spectacle particularly sickening was that it took place at the same time as a similar terrorist outrage was taking place in Belgium – and it should not be forgotten in this respect that in 1916 Britain (and by this we mean all of Britain, including Irish men and women of all religions) was fighting a ferocious war against an aggressive enemy who had committed earlier evil atrocities against Belgium!
We firmly believe that it is those members of the security forces who fell fighting against the Fenian terrorists who should be honoured and respected, and not the terrorist vermin themselves. These consisted of 23 Policemen (RIC and Dublin Metropolitan Police) and 103 soldiers – and we also should not forget the estimated 374 innocent Dublin civilians who were also killed by the terrorists. An excellent web-site exists remembering each of the 103 soldiers (though alas not the 23 Policemen) who died, and this can be accessed at :-
http://irishmedals.org/participants-in-the-1916-rising_1.html
We should also specifically remember the brave students from the Trinity College (Dublin University) Officer Training Corps who raided the OTC armoury in order to take up arms against the nationalist terrorists, and by so doing saved that beautiful British city of Dublin from even greater damage. One name in particular who should be remembered was Cadet Robert N. Tweedy DUOTC who received a special award for his courage. This we believe was the only occasion when any OTC unit ever took up arms under their own banner in an actual conflict.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
WORLD’S VIEW ……
Sir,
Cecil Rhodes is one of my personal heroes. I consider it a tragedy that he died so young. Had he lived on, I have a vision of an alliance between a Britain led by Rhodes and an America led by Theodore Roosevelt. I would also inform Oriel College of his belief in "equal rights for all civilised men".
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.

STEADFAST SUPPORT
Sir,
Hats off to the Australians who protested against the White genocide (see January 2016 SCN), which is not just horribly explicit as in South Africa, but implicit in all the collusive promotion of non-White immigration throughout the Western world. Or so it seems to me.
Yours etc.,

GOOD OLD SMITHY!
Sir,
I was privileged to meet Ian Smith back in 1974. I was, as an Aussie, an interim member of the Rhodesian Front, living in Gwelo, close to Selukwe where I.S. had his family, I was fortunate enough to relief-manage the Selukwe Grand for a month or so. Met the Prime Minister with his Mum.
Smith rolled up to the opening of Parliament in nothing more than a Peugeot 404 to save money and to set example. Compare this with “Moo Garbage” and his multi-million dollar motor cars.
Smith is the most misunderstood man in modern history. How they painted this fine man in the press is one of history's great lies.
Yours etc.,
A.K., New South Wales, Australia.

OBITUARY
ABE SEGAL
It was with great sadness that we learnt of the recent death of Abe Segal, the famed South African Lawn Tennis player of the 1950s and 60s.
Born in 1930 in the vibrant Doornfontein district of Johannesburg, Abe Segal became the most prominent male South African Tennis player of the post-WWII era. More of a doubles specialist (he only won the South African Men’s Single title once, whereas he was Men’s Doubles champion on five occasions), he formed a formidable partnership with Gordon Forbes, who together reached the French Open Final twice.
But there were many other facets to Abe Segal. He was a bon vivant with an infectious sense of humour, who fully believed in living life to the full – as was expertly illustrated in Gordon Forbes’ sporting classic “A Handful of Summers”. In continued playing and coaching Tennis almost to his dying day, but also in his later years became an accomplished painter and wrote his own highly-acclaimed book “Hey Big Boy”. A true South African patriot, he took great pride in playing for his country in the Davis Cup, often producing performances of an even higher standard than when he was only playing on the individual circuit.
Abe Segal, however, personified the Corinthian spirit of the days of amateur sport better than most. Sport to him and others of his ilk was more about fun rather than making money, and this halcyon attitude rose to its greatest zenith in pioneer societies such as his own in South Africa far more naturally than in the staid societies of old Europe. Life was for living, and in no other field of human activity could this be better exemplified than in competitive sport.
We need more people with the spirit of Abe Segal today, but firmly believe that such people are still arising in pioneer and expatriate communities around the globe at the moment. Our sincere condolences are extended to all members of Abe Segal’s family.

March 2016 Edition.
SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
March 2016 edition
It seems incredible that it is now 25 years since the conclusion of the First Gulf War. Sadly and reprehensively, however, apart from a ceremony at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire on 28th February, there seemed to be no other mark or mention of this auspicious anniversary anywhere in the UK.
To be sure there were only 47 fatalities amongst British forces during this conflict – a very low total when compared to other wars of the 20th Century – but their sacrifices and the pain and sorrow experienced by their families was just the same. Furthermore, it could be argued that this War for the liberation of Kuwait was of far greater significance for the future security of the West as a whole than any of the century’s previous mainly European conflicts – after all, as a result of legal and stable governance being restored to Kuwait there are now no Kuwaitis among the swarm of refugees and economic migrants currently invading Europe!
Although of course our movement, as well as all other truly patriotic and pro-Western organizations around the globe, fully supported the War to liberate Kuwait, such sentiments – seemingly inevitably – were not shared by parties of the extreme Left and other pro-Islamic sympathizers. An even worse manifestation of this weak-willed mindset came from the highest level however, for instead of pressing on to Baghdad in order to overthrow Saddam Hussein and his evil Ba’athist regime, an opportunity which the situation then of course presented, the leaders of the Western military alliance decided to cease all military action as soon as the Iraqis were expelled from Kuwait. With the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff then being Gen. Colin Powell (a man who couldn’t even pronounce his own christian name correctly!) this probably wasn’t really surprising. In retrospect this “politically correct” appointment of Powell was probably the worst mistake made by the Reagan/George H.W. Bush Administrations.
What happened next was therefore only that which could be expected, for having been “let off the hook” by the lack of resolve displayed by Western leaders the acutely angered Saddam Hussein and his regime started bankrolling and training the infant al-Qa’eda terrorist organization and their fellow-Sunni terrorists of the Taliban in Afghanistan. As a result we witnessed the 9/11 terror attack and other similar atrocities around the West, with the consequent necessity for the Second Gulf War when far more Western casualties resulted. Alas the same lack of resolve followed this subsequent conflict, with Western forces again being withdrawn long before the situation had stabilised, and of course a far too speedy withdrawal also occurred following Western intervention to support the overthrow of the monster Gaddafi in Libya. It can be argued that in all probability these failures to continue a Western presence in these beleaguered lands allowed the movement of Saddam Hussein’s WMDs across the border to Syria to be used in that country’s civil war, the consequent rise of ISIS/ISIL under the control of former Ba’athist officials, and the resulting invasion of Europe by the swarms of migrants from the disintegrating Middle Eastern countries affected.
But there is no point in adopting an “If only” attitude. What has happened has happened, and our task now must be to ensure that he same lack of resolve does not occur again in the future. At the present moment in time, however, our main focus should be on mourning and honoring those brave British and other Western heroes who fell during the First Gulf War. Let us hope therefore that the courage and determination displayed by these true sons and daughters of our race can be transferred to our up and coming Western leaders, both political and military.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The Springbok Club staged a most enjoyable and indeed inspiring trip to the “Artist and Empire” Exhibition at the Tate Britain Gallery last month. In spite of a few inevitable concessions to “political correctness” in this exhibition, the true glories and success story of the British Empire still shone through. Portraits of such great Imperial heroes as Drake, Hawkins, Clive, Wolfe, Nelson and Gordon were prominently on view, but perhaps to members of the Springbok Club the most awe-inspiring experience was to see the original copy of the famous picture of the last defiant stand by Allan Wilson and the Shangani patrol painted by Allan Stewart.
----------------------------
On Sunday 27th March the Springbok Club will be organizing a trip to see the University Boat Races. Arrangements to view the races from an excellent vantage point on the River Thames are still being finalised, and full details of the rendezvous details will be circulated to all Springbok Club members and supporters in the London area as soon as they have been established. If any supporter would like to be notified specifically about the details then please either e-mail: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk or ‘phone: 07711188430.
----------------------------
In late April the Springbok Club will be staging a special meeting in order to celebrate van Riebeeck’s Day, at which it is hoped to welcome a leading member of a fraternal expatriate organization as guest speaker. In late May the Springbok Club will be holding a special event to celebrate Empire Day, at which it is hoped to welcome a New Zealand supporter as guest of honour.
------------------------------------------------------------------
SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
Although the Swinton Circle is unfortunately still in a dormant state until the organization can be re-constituted, it is planned to hold discussions with the leaders of two other patriotic organizations later this month in order to finalise a new more united structure. Details of these developments will of course be given in next month’s SCN. In the meantime, however, the Swinton Circle’s Re-Circulation Service, by which the organization continues to notify its supporters on national and global issues and news about its own development, will continue, and indeed will be expanded. If you would like your e-mail address to be added to this service then please contact: swinton@netcomuk.co.uk.
The Swinton Circle has also recently received an invitation from the PEGIDA UK organization to participate in a second “Silent Walk” which they are planning in Birmingham for Saturday 2nd April. Worryingly, however, we have recently received information that PEGIDA UK is more directly involved with individuals linked to the “Liberty GB” organization who were implicated in the invasion and wrecking of the Swinton Circle meeting of 31st July than we were previously aware of (see “Letters to the Editor” section). The Swinton Circle will therefore be investigating these alleged links further before deciding whether to recommend participation in future PEGIDA UK events or not.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW BRITAIN NEWS
In spite of the fact that because of its relocation to a new headquarters New Britain has been rather inactive over the past few months, we have been delighted to learn that the organization has now established its own FaceBook group. We heartily congratulate New Britain on this initiative, and recommend that all our supporters have a look at this site and join this praise-worthy group, which can be accessed at :-

END THE CAGE AGE!
A supporter has recently informed us about a most estimable campaign being waged by the Compassion in World Farming organization calling for the banning of all cages containing animals in world farming, particularly those encaging rabbits. We of course fully support this campaign as we do not believe there is any justification for the utilization of such artificial environments for any animal bred to provide food for humans or other creatures – particularly not for rabbits who are wild rather than domesticated animals, whose bodies should therefore never be used for food. We hope therefore that as many supporters as possible will view this site and will be prepared to sign the petition. It can be accessed at :-

POISONED VICTORIES
Shortly before the recent 3rd Test between South Africa and England a number of England players, including it is believed Stuart Broad, Alex Hales and Ben Stokes reported feeling unwell, and there was much speculation that this was due to food poisoning. There were also rumours that certain members of the England Women’s team also touring South Africa at the same time had similarly been feeling poorly, though in this case no specific names were mentioned. These rumours of course brought back memories of the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final in Johannesburg, when several leading members of the New Zealand team were laid low apparently with food poisoning, and South Africa most unexpectedly went on to win the final. Although at the time the widespread speculation that the New Zealand team had deliberately been poisoned was pooh-poohed in South Africa as an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory, but over more recent years South African sources have tended to respond to such speculation with a “nod-nod, wink-wink” reaction. It seems highly unlikely that these latest incidents of food poisoning against England Cricketers were deliberately caused however, as not nearly as much was at stake as at a World Cup Final. Far more likely, we believe, that the alleged food poisonings were the result of a collapse in food hygiene standards in the “new” South Africa – similar to the collapse of so much of the infrastructure of South African society under the current dispensation. Regardless of the precise reason, however, these latest incidents illustrate yet again the folly of overseas sporting teams touring South Africa during the current anarchic situation in the country.

AUSTRALIAN MONARCHIST LEAGUE MEDIA RELEASE
We have recently received the following somewhat amusing though actually deeply worrying Media Release from the Australian Monarchist League :-
“Warning - Removal of Chaplain’s Badge Motto is Merely the Beginning
”So the politically correct are at it again. This time wanting to remove the motto: ‘In This Sign Conquer’ from the Australian Army Chaplain's Hat Badge because, it is said that: ‘it is offensive to Muslims’” (The Daily Telegraph 23/11/15)
”This sort of denigration of Australian values has been going on for decades with once semi-militaristic and patriotic organisations clamouring to remove any mention of Australia’s head of state, Her Majesty the Queen. The only reason republican politicians swear or affirm to ‘be faithful and bear true allegiance’ to the Queen is because they constitutionally must do this before taking their seat in the parliament even though, as one republican politician had admitted when asked: ‘Did you perjure yourself?’ ‘Yes, quite simply, of course I did ‘” (NSW Hansard 7/4/05)
”The Ministry of Defence did not canvass the will of the people in their consideration to remove this ancient motto nor did any of the other entities which removed any mention of The Queen and yet, I seem to recall the last time the people had their say on the matter of who is our head of state, they voted overwhelmingly to retain the Queen.
”We are seeing so much of our tradition being washed away by those who cling to ‘political correctness gone mad’ and it is time that this sort of insanity was shown up for what it is - an attempt to destroy our society as-is and create a left-wing Utopian dream-world in which politicians and their comrades will reign supreme and the people will have to do what they are told.
”It may seem a small thing to remove a motto from a chaplain’s badge, but it is an indication of much more to come, most likely leading up to removing the Crown from all Defence Force insignia.”

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.208 – Ms. MARIANNE McCURDIE of Durban
Marianne McCurdie first came to our attention when she was elected Councillor for the Point Ward on the Durban City Council during the mid-1980s. She represented the enigmatic Civic Action League, an organisation founded by the notorious Brendan Willmer, an individual who was held in great suspicion by mainstream patriots in the Durban area because of his factionalism and refusal to co-operate with anyone else opposing the liberal policies then being enacted by the Prog-dominated Council. In spite of this inauspicious beginning Marianne McCurdie soon started to become aware of the phoniness and dangers of Willmer, and adopted a far more friendly attitude towards other patriotic activists in the City. Perhaps as a result of her willingness to be associated with those who Willmer regarded as his enemies he then demanded that she resign from the Council so that he could nominate a CAL member more subservient to him to stand in her place. Alas Marianne McCurdie gave in to Willmer’s demands and immediately disappeared from the scene, the rumour being that she had emigrated to the United States. We therefore only had direct contact with her for a very brief period, but during that time we became very impressed with her genuine patriotism, intelligence and friendliness. A very attractive woman (surprisingly young in comparison to Willmer’s usual ancient fuddy-duddy hangers-on!), she was a veterinary nurse by profession. Recently we have heard that she is now living in the Johannesburg area (whether or not she did actually emigrate to the United States we don’t know), and so it would be very interesting to make contact with her again.

RECOMMENDED WEB-SITES OF THE MONTH
At the time of writing it is still uncertain which of the “Leave” organisations will gain official accreditation for co-ordinating the campaign advocating that Britain leaves the EU at the forthcoming June 23rd Referendum. There are two main bodies currently campaigning for a “Leave” vote, namely Vote Leave and Leave EU. We do not wish to take sides in any way in this unfortunate internal conflict, as to us the only important matter is maximizing the “Leave” vote as much as possible. We therefore now recommend the official web-sites of both of these organisations, and trust that once official accreditation has been decided upon they may somehow come together in a united dynamic effort.
The Leave EU campaign web-site can be accessed at :-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
YOU MAY CALL US REBELS ……
Sir,
As a UKIP supporter, I am also opposed to the Norway option. I don't want us either being bound by EU rules or giving them money. We are now the 6th best country in the world to do business in, according to the World Bank. We have one of the world's ten largest economies and over sixty million people. Let us do what Rhodesia did and declare UDI.
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.

FRIENDS REUNITED
Sir,
In answer to William Nolan’s enquiry (February SCN – Ed.) all three of his old friends are still around, and what I know about them is as follows :-
1) Stuart Millson, a leading authority on classical music, is alas no longer politically active, although he has been serving as a parish councillor in his locality of Malling in Kent. An amiable and extremely likeable person, his main problem in life seems to have been that he’s associated with a lot of disreputable characters, most notably the notorious vexatious litigant Mike Keith-Smith, the self-opinionated BNP buffoon Jonathan Bowden (both now thankfully deceased) and a gentleman not entirely unfamiliar with H.M.Prison Ford in West Sussex! I think that he eventually realised his great mistakes in the bad company which he kept, and this is the reason why he’s now withdrawn from all activism.
2) Stuart Notholt, on the contrary, is still very active, currently being a leading official in the Campaign for an Independent Britain. He’s a man of many talents and a true, though unfortunately largely overlooked, hero of the current patriotic struggle.
3) A.V.R. “Andy” Smith – “A.V.R. Superstar” – is unquestionably a real tragedy. A great patriotic activist during the 80s and 90s (he was the main driving force behind Western Goals) he was not only a prominent figure in British Conservative politics but was also a great friend of South Africa prior to the ANC takeover. He toured the country once on behalf of Western Goals when he made several sparkling media appearances emphasizing the fact that the Western-orientated South Africa had far more friends in the rest of the world than most people realized. He also established a good and close friendship with that great South African journalist Aida Parker, and together they organized a protest march against the NP sellouts. As I say, his dropout from active involvement has been a real tragedy, as he had captivating charisma and undoubtedly still has phenomenal abilities and a lot to offer to the cause.
Yours etc.,
Atholl Grant, London, U.K.

RIGHT RECOGNITION
Sir,
Thank you for the wonderful work you do in producing the monthly Springbok Cyber Newsletter. I shudder to think at both the time, coupled with the amount of work that goes into the production of same. Your dedication and hard work is commendable, and appreciated immensely!
Yours etc.,
W.V., Durban, Natal, South Africa.
----------------------------
ISRAEL-RIGHT
Sir,
I’ve just read an article on South African scholars wanting to boycott Israel. What a joke, as if Israel cares or needs South Africa. This is like a saucepan calling the kettle black. What fools. Just compare the situation. How many deaths in Israel? I do not have the figures, but can you justify over 68,000 since 1994 in South Africa, including my own brother.
Yours etc.,
“Xrayman”, Auckland, New Zealand.
----------------------------
SAVAGE RESULTS
Sir,
I want to write something about this sense of entitlement, and also the twisted versions of history and circumstances which are now circulating. For example, OUR labour built South Africa, say the usual suspects. They don’t understand that labour is a commodity that can be bought and sold. It’s the creators who need the labour who are the engines of South Africa, not the workers.
They don’t understand how an economy works. (If they did they would have created their own economy before the white man arrived.) They actually don’t want to understand because it suits them to play the eternal victims.
Today the IEB (Independent Examination Board) matriculation results came out, where the standard is on a par with English A levels, and the achievers are 95% white and Indian. Incredible results – some have as much as 11 distinctions. This IEB was set up by parents and teachers as they watched the ANC government’s influence take its toll on the country’s education system.
The successful achievers’ stories read the same – hard work, sacrifice, dedication and the support of parents. There’s no easy way.
The government’s pass rate for their schools is 40%, with cheating and reading exam papers before they are issued, a norm. .Anything to “get” the pass rate, never mind what you can do with it.
Verwoerd was right – separate development was the only way.
We are all well, considering we live in a country where the only European nation in the world is “governed” by savages.
Yours etc.,
G.G.R., Krugersdorp, Transvaal, South Africa.
----------------------------
RAND VIEW
Sir,
Seems the ANC and the K4 HIV-nation are so lazy they have to pass laws to legalize the theft of more farms and property, paid for by hard-working farmers and their families who feed the lazy K4s .Thank God some of us saw all this coming 20 odd years ago and immigrated .”Azania” kraal politics and a uneducated lazy work force. millions of Bantu racists who vote for a uneducated low-life sex-pest and put him in as head of state thinking he’s some kind of Marxist terrorist prophet . well just add it up folks: no work, no rain, less farming, over-breeding, total failure of the Rand on world markets and the crash in gold and platinum prices adds up to what . a country that’s is going to starve and have serious crime problems for decades.
Yours etc.,
Roy Winsor, Canterbury, Kent, U.K.
----------------------------
WHALE WARNING
Sir,
I was quite concerned to see the publicity which you gave to the PEGIDA UK organization in your latest issue. As you correctly observe, Mr. Paul Weston the Chairman of the LibertyGB party is now involved in this venture, but this doesn’t mean to say that he’s no longer involved with LibertyGB, an organization which I believe caused considerable problems for the Swinton Circle a few months back. Furthermore Dr. George Whale, also from LibertyGB, also seems to hold high office in PEGIDA UK. I urge great caution when dealing with this body.
Yours etc.,
“Powellite”, Gillingham, Kent, U.K.
[ Dr. George Whale (we don’t know whether his doctorate is genuine or not) was indeed involved with LibertyGB. When we first met him he seemed a very civilized and friendly person, and we were really looking forward to working increasingly closely together in the future. He was however present at the disastrous Swinton Circle meeting of 31st July (which of course was wrecked by about 2 dozen gate-crashers who had apparently been “invited” by elements within LibertyGB) and after the meeting collapsed in chaos he came up to us at the bar afterwards and sarcastically “congratulated” us on staging such a “successful” meeting. This either means that he has a very sick sense of humour or else he regarded the wrecking of this meeting as successful for his aims! Thanks therefore for this warning. We will indeed be very wary of PEGIDA UK from now onwards. – Ed.]
------------------------------------------------------------------
ROGUES GALLERY
A supporter from South Africa has recently sent us an e-mail in which he congratulates us for our efforts and achievements in advancing the South African cause “in exile”, but then goes on to warn us about a smear and hate campaign being waged against us by a certain Mr. Jack Sen, and asked us whether we knew anything else about him, as apparently he had been appointed “UK and European Representative” by a South African party calling itself the “Front Nationale”.
We do indeed know a lot about this sinister Jack Sen character, as we detailed in the July 2015 edition of the SCN. We replied to this enquiry from our supporter from South Africa with the following message therefore :-
“Yes, we have heard about this mysterious Jack Sen character, and indeed experienced quite a bit of trouble from this weird creature during the middle of last year, though happily this was completely overcome and we haven't heard anything further regarding him for many months now - until this unexpected message from you! [Name deleted out of courtesy] is of course also well known to us, but in her case for all the right reasons. She is now fully engrossed with the Springbok Club and indeed currently serves on our committee. She has a heart of gold and is totally dedicated to the cause. Yes, she did ‘do her own thing’ in support of the beleaguered Whites left in the ‘new’ South Africa in her initial years after re-locating here, but has now thrown all her energies into the Springbok Club, and as a result has made the organisation a far more dynamic and effective body. The Springbok Club is now undoubtedly the most important expatriate South African organisation (all the rest seem purely social-orientated and don't to want to touch politics in any way!), and this undoubtedly is the reason why the ANC and the Left - and indeed their far-Right anti-Semitic fellow-travellers - fear us so much and wish to destroy us.
“To return to Jack Sen (now colloquially referred to as ‘Sennapods’!) as an individual, we definitely don't think that he is a ‘South African intelligence agent’ as you suspect, but is actually the exact opposite, being a far-Right anti-Semitic would-be infiltrator and disruptor. Sennapods openly admits to being one-quarter Indian, but also claims that another grandparent was an Afrikaner. He rose from nowhere to be selected as the UKIP candidate for West Lancashire (the Ormskirk area) in last year's General Election, but was expelled from UKIP (who apparently mainly chose him as their candidate for "politically correct" reasons because they wanted to have more ethnic minority candidates) shortly before the election following his making some quite objectionable anti-Semitic comments about the Labour MP for Liverpool Wavertree, Luciana Berger (who is actually one of the better Labour MPs, having voted in the right way in support of air attacks against the ISIS/ISIL terrorists). Although we had read about his expulsion from UKIP we knew nothing whatsoever about Sennapods until [name deleted] warned us out-of-the-blue to be very wary of him. The very next day he contacted us via FaceBook saying that he wanted to become involved with the Springbok Club, but openly admitted that he had previously spoken for an organisation called ‘The London Forum’. Now it so happens that we knew quite a bit about this innocuously-named organisation as about a year previously they had asked one of our officials to speak for them, but when we investigated them further we discovered that they were rabidly anti-Semitic in nature, and furthermore had provided platforms for two individuals who had been instrumental in trying to destroy our fraternal patriotic organisation, the Swinton Circle. For both these reasons we therefore replied to Sennapods telling him that we didn't want to be associated with him in any way. As a result of this he simply went ballistic, threatening us with all sorts of attacks, specifically that a smear article about us would be placed on an anti-Semitic American web-site. We had never heard of this web-site before, but as the name was so cranky and it was so obscure we didn't worry about this threat of Sennapods in any way. Shortly after this, however, he sent us notification of the smear item which he had placed there - and we then started to be inundated with contacts (both FaceBook messages and ordinary e-mails) attacking us apparently as a result of this vile article. Although we were easily able to remove all these messages it was however proving a great nuisance and was occupying a lot of our valuable time, and as some of the comments made on the smear article were clearly libellous we therefore took the matter to the Police, who proved extremely helpful. We informed Sennapods that we had referred the matter to the Police - and then all the e-mail and FaceBook attacks against us suddenly ceased just as quickly as they had started! It then really ‘clicked’ that in spite of bearing a multitude of names all these e-mail and FaceBook attacks used almost identical phraseology - in other words they hadn't been sent by different people, but only by one individual using a variety of ‘sock-puppet’ names (almost certainly Sennapods himself of course!). It also soon became apparent that the crankily-named American-hosted web-site was almost certainly also run by Sennapods himself using a pseudonym, and that its readership therefore was very limited. As in addition to these revelations one of our supporters who accessed the site after we had told him about all the troubles we were experiencing remarked that the attacks on us for not being anti-Semitic would actually be viewed very favourably in the eyes of all decent people, we therefore decided not to worry about the whole unfortunate episode any further - and indeed we have not heard anything further from or about Senapods prior to this recent puzzling message from you.
“To sum up therefore, Sennapods is clearly not a ‘South African Intelligence Agent’ as you've speculated (he's far too stupid for this!), though he could be being used by the ANC-regime in order to cause disruption and time-wasting among their enemies who are actively opposing them overseas. If he is being used in this way Sennapods himself undoubtedly doesn't realise it, for in reality he is a paranoid anti-Semitic nutter with a big chip on his shoulders - undoubtedly because of his mixed-race ancestry. We've encountered such a concept previously. It's usually known as ‘being more Papist than the Pope’. Those so afflicted hate the fact that they have some non-White blood in their veins so they therefore join or associate with far-Right racist organisations, and once therein adopt the extremist possible positions so as to be accepted by other members. In this regard it is interesting to note that after being expelled from UKIP Sennapods almost immediately joined the overtly neo-fascist ‘British National Party’!”
We would furthermore like to add that we know very little about the South African political party calling itself the “Front Nationale” which was mentioned – although the fact that a South African organization uses a French name does appear to be very strange. Furthermore, with Freedom Front Plus operating within the system and the HNP still valiantly working outside, there doesn’t seem to be any need for another pro-White political party in South Africa. If, however, our supporter who contacted us in this regard is correct and that the highly sinister Jack Sen is their officially appointed overseas representative, then the organization as a whole must therefore be viewed with great suspicion.

March 2016 edition
It seems incredible that it is now 25 years since the conclusion of the First Gulf War. Sadly and reprehensively, however, apart from a ceremony at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire on 28th February, there seemed to be no other mark or mention of this auspicious anniversary anywhere in the UK.
To be sure there were only 47 fatalities amongst British forces during this conflict – a very low total when compared to other wars of the 20th Century – but their sacrifices and the pain and sorrow experienced by their families was just the same. Furthermore, it could be argued that this War for the liberation of Kuwait was of far greater significance for the future security of the West as a whole than any of the century’s previous mainly European conflicts – after all, as a result of legal and stable governance being restored to Kuwait there are now no Kuwaitis among the swarm of refugees and economic migrants currently invading Europe!
Although of course our movement, as well as all other truly patriotic and pro-Western organizations around the globe, fully supported the War to liberate Kuwait, such sentiments – seemingly inevitably – were not shared by parties of the extreme Left and other pro-Islamic sympathizers. An even worse manifestation of this weak-willed mindset came from the highest level however, for instead of pressing on to Baghdad in order to overthrow Saddam Hussein and his evil Ba’athist regime, an opportunity which the situation then of course presented, the leaders of the Western military alliance decided to cease all military action as soon as the Iraqis were expelled from Kuwait. With the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff then being Gen. Colin Powell (a man who couldn’t even pronounce his own christian name correctly!) this probably wasn’t really surprising. In retrospect this “politically correct” appointment of Powell was probably the worst mistake made by the Reagan/George H.W. Bush Administrations.
What happened next was therefore only that which could be expected, for having been “let off the hook” by the lack of resolve displayed by Western leaders the acutely angered Saddam Hussein and his regime started bankrolling and training the infant al-Qa’eda terrorist organization and their fellow-Sunni terrorists of the Taliban in Afghanistan. As a result we witnessed the 9/11 terror attack and other similar atrocities around the West, with the consequent necessity for the Second Gulf War when far more Western casualties resulted. Alas the same lack of resolve followed this subsequent conflict, with Western forces again being withdrawn long before the situation had stabilised, and of course a far too speedy withdrawal also occurred following Western intervention to support the overthrow of the monster Gaddafi in Libya. It can be argued that in all probability these failures to continue a Western presence in these beleaguered lands allowed the movement of Saddam Hussein’s WMDs across the border to Syria to be used in that country’s civil war, the consequent rise of ISIS/ISIL under the control of former Ba’athist officials, and the resulting invasion of Europe by the swarms of migrants from the disintegrating Middle Eastern countries affected.
But there is no point in adopting an “If only” attitude. What has happened has happened, and our task now must be to ensure that he same lack of resolve does not occur again in the future. At the present moment in time, however, our main focus should be on mourning and honoring those brave British and other Western heroes who fell during the First Gulf War. Let us hope therefore that the courage and determination displayed by these true sons and daughters of our race can be transferred to our up and coming Western leaders, both political and military.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
The Springbok Club staged a most enjoyable and indeed inspiring trip to the “Artist and Empire” Exhibition at the Tate Britain Gallery last month. In spite of a few inevitable concessions to “political correctness” in this exhibition, the true glories and success story of the British Empire still shone through. Portraits of such great Imperial heroes as Drake, Hawkins, Clive, Wolfe, Nelson and Gordon were prominently on view, but perhaps to members of the Springbok Club the most awe-inspiring experience was to see the original copy of the famous picture of the last defiant stand by Allan Wilson and the Shangani patrol painted by Allan Stewart.
----------------------------
On Sunday 27th March the Springbok Club will be organizing a trip to see the University Boat Races. Arrangements to view the races from an excellent vantage point on the River Thames are still being finalised, and full details of the rendezvous details will be circulated to all Springbok Club members and supporters in the London area as soon as they have been established. If any supporter would like to be notified specifically about the details then please either e-mail: springbk@netcomuk.co.uk or ‘phone: 07711188430.
----------------------------
In late April the Springbok Club will be staging a special meeting in order to celebrate van Riebeeck’s Day, at which it is hoped to welcome a leading member of a fraternal expatriate organization as guest speaker. In late May the Springbok Club will be holding a special event to celebrate Empire Day, at which it is hoped to welcome a New Zealand supporter as guest of honour.
------------------------------------------------------------------
SWINTON CIRCLE NEWS
Although the Swinton Circle is unfortunately still in a dormant state until the organization can be re-constituted, it is planned to hold discussions with the leaders of two other patriotic organizations later this month in order to finalise a new more united structure. Details of these developments will of course be given in next month’s SCN. In the meantime, however, the Swinton Circle’s Re-Circulation Service, by which the organization continues to notify its supporters on national and global issues and news about its own development, will continue, and indeed will be expanded. If you would like your e-mail address to be added to this service then please contact: swinton@netcomuk.co.uk.
The Swinton Circle has also recently received an invitation from the PEGIDA UK organization to participate in a second “Silent Walk” which they are planning in Birmingham for Saturday 2nd April. Worryingly, however, we have recently received information that PEGIDA UK is more directly involved with individuals linked to the “Liberty GB” organization who were implicated in the invasion and wrecking of the Swinton Circle meeting of 31st July than we were previously aware of (see “Letters to the Editor” section). The Swinton Circle will therefore be investigating these alleged links further before deciding whether to recommend participation in future PEGIDA UK events or not.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW BRITAIN NEWS
In spite of the fact that because of its relocation to a new headquarters New Britain has been rather inactive over the past few months, we have been delighted to learn that the organization has now established its own FaceBook group. We heartily congratulate New Britain on this initiative, and recommend that all our supporters have a look at this site and join this praise-worthy group, which can be accessed at :-

END THE CAGE AGE!
A supporter has recently informed us about a most estimable campaign being waged by the Compassion in World Farming organization calling for the banning of all cages containing animals in world farming, particularly those encaging rabbits. We of course fully support this campaign as we do not believe there is any justification for the utilization of such artificial environments for any animal bred to provide food for humans or other creatures – particularly not for rabbits who are wild rather than domesticated animals, whose bodies should therefore never be used for food. We hope therefore that as many supporters as possible will view this site and will be prepared to sign the petition. It can be accessed at :-

POISONED VICTORIES
Shortly before the recent 3rd Test between South Africa and England a number of England players, including it is believed Stuart Broad, Alex Hales and Ben Stokes reported feeling unwell, and there was much speculation that this was due to food poisoning. There were also rumours that certain members of the England Women’s team also touring South Africa at the same time had similarly been feeling poorly, though in this case no specific names were mentioned. These rumours of course brought back memories of the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final in Johannesburg, when several leading members of the New Zealand team were laid low apparently with food poisoning, and South Africa most unexpectedly went on to win the final. Although at the time the widespread speculation that the New Zealand team had deliberately been poisoned was pooh-poohed in South Africa as an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory, but over more recent years South African sources have tended to respond to such speculation with a “nod-nod, wink-wink” reaction. It seems highly unlikely that these latest incidents of food poisoning against England Cricketers were deliberately caused however, as not nearly as much was at stake as at a World Cup Final. Far more likely, we believe, that the alleged food poisonings were the result of a collapse in food hygiene standards in the “new” South Africa – similar to the collapse of so much of the infrastructure of South African society under the current dispensation. Regardless of the precise reason, however, these latest incidents illustrate yet again the folly of overseas sporting teams touring South Africa during the current anarchic situation in the country.

AUSTRALIAN MONARCHIST LEAGUE MEDIA RELEASE
We have recently received the following somewhat amusing though actually deeply worrying Media Release from the Australian Monarchist League :-
“Warning - Removal of Chaplain’s Badge Motto is Merely the Beginning
”So the politically correct are at it again. This time wanting to remove the motto: ‘In This Sign Conquer’ from the Australian Army Chaplain's Hat Badge because, it is said that: ‘it is offensive to Muslims’” (The Daily Telegraph 23/11/15)
”This sort of denigration of Australian values has been going on for decades with once semi-militaristic and patriotic organisations clamouring to remove any mention of Australia’s head of state, Her Majesty the Queen. The only reason republican politicians swear or affirm to ‘be faithful and bear true allegiance’ to the Queen is because they constitutionally must do this before taking their seat in the parliament even though, as one republican politician had admitted when asked: ‘Did you perjure yourself?’ ‘Yes, quite simply, of course I did ‘” (NSW Hansard 7/4/05)
”The Ministry of Defence did not canvass the will of the people in their consideration to remove this ancient motto nor did any of the other entities which removed any mention of The Queen and yet, I seem to recall the last time the people had their say on the matter of who is our head of state, they voted overwhelmingly to retain the Queen.
”We are seeing so much of our tradition being washed away by those who cling to ‘political correctness gone mad’ and it is time that this sort of insanity was shown up for what it is - an attempt to destroy our society as-is and create a left-wing Utopian dream-world in which politicians and their comrades will reign supreme and the people will have to do what they are told.
”It may seem a small thing to remove a motto from a chaplain’s badge, but it is an indication of much more to come, most likely leading up to removing the Crown from all Defence Force insignia.”

"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.208 – Ms. MARIANNE McCURDIE of Durban
Marianne McCurdie first came to our attention when she was elected Councillor for the Point Ward on the Durban City Council during the mid-1980s. She represented the enigmatic Civic Action League, an organisation founded by the notorious Brendan Willmer, an individual who was held in great suspicion by mainstream patriots in the Durban area because of his factionalism and refusal to co-operate with anyone else opposing the liberal policies then being enacted by the Prog-dominated Council. In spite of this inauspicious beginning Marianne McCurdie soon started to become aware of the phoniness and dangers of Willmer, and adopted a far more friendly attitude towards other patriotic activists in the City. Perhaps as a result of her willingness to be associated with those who Willmer regarded as his enemies he then demanded that she resign from the Council so that he could nominate a CAL member more subservient to him to stand in her place. Alas Marianne McCurdie gave in to Willmer’s demands and immediately disappeared from the scene, the rumour being that she had emigrated to the United States. We therefore only had direct contact with her for a very brief period, but during that time we became very impressed with her genuine patriotism, intelligence and friendliness. A very attractive woman (surprisingly young in comparison to Willmer’s usual ancient fuddy-duddy hangers-on!), she was a veterinary nurse by profession. Recently we have heard that she is now living in the Johannesburg area (whether or not she did actually emigrate to the United States we don’t know), and so it would be very interesting to make contact with her again.

RECOMMENDED WEB-SITES OF THE MONTH
At the time of writing it is still uncertain which of the “Leave” organisations will gain official accreditation for co-ordinating the campaign advocating that Britain leaves the EU at the forthcoming June 23rd Referendum. There are two main bodies currently campaigning for a “Leave” vote, namely Vote Leave and Leave EU. We do not wish to take sides in any way in this unfortunate internal conflict, as to us the only important matter is maximizing the “Leave” vote as much as possible. We therefore now recommend the official web-sites of both of these organisations, and trust that once official accreditation has been decided upon they may somehow come together in a united dynamic effort.
The Leave EU campaign web-site can be accessed at :-
https://leave.eu/
and the Vote Leave campaign web-site can be found at :-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
YOU MAY CALL US REBELS ……
Sir,
As a UKIP supporter, I am also opposed to the Norway option. I don't want us either being bound by EU rules or giving them money. We are now the 6th best country in the world to do business in, according to the World Bank. We have one of the world's ten largest economies and over sixty million people. Let us do what Rhodesia did and declare UDI.
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.

FRIENDS REUNITED
Sir,
In answer to William Nolan’s enquiry (February SCN – Ed.) all three of his old friends are still around, and what I know about them is as follows :-
1) Stuart Millson, a leading authority on classical music, is alas no longer politically active, although he has been serving as a parish councillor in his locality of Malling in Kent. An amiable and extremely likeable person, his main problem in life seems to have been that he’s associated with a lot of disreputable characters, most notably the notorious vexatious litigant Mike Keith-Smith, the self-opinionated BNP buffoon Jonathan Bowden (both now thankfully deceased) and a gentleman not entirely unfamiliar with H.M.Prison Ford in West Sussex! I think that he eventually realised his great mistakes in the bad company which he kept, and this is the reason why he’s now withdrawn from all activism.
2) Stuart Notholt, on the contrary, is still very active, currently being a leading official in the Campaign for an Independent Britain. He’s a man of many talents and a true, though unfortunately largely overlooked, hero of the current patriotic struggle.
3) A.V.R. “Andy” Smith – “A.V.R. Superstar” – is unquestionably a real tragedy. A great patriotic activist during the 80s and 90s (he was the main driving force behind Western Goals) he was not only a prominent figure in British Conservative politics but was also a great friend of South Africa prior to the ANC takeover. He toured the country once on behalf of Western Goals when he made several sparkling media appearances emphasizing the fact that the Western-orientated South Africa had far more friends in the rest of the world than most people realized. He also established a good and close friendship with that great South African journalist Aida Parker, and together they organized a protest march against the NP sellouts. As I say, his dropout from active involvement has been a real tragedy, as he had captivating charisma and undoubtedly still has phenomenal abilities and a lot to offer to the cause.
Yours etc.,
Atholl Grant, London, U.K.

RIGHT RECOGNITION
Sir,
Thank you for the wonderful work you do in producing the monthly Springbok Cyber Newsletter. I shudder to think at both the time, coupled with the amount of work that goes into the production of same. Your dedication and hard work is commendable, and appreciated immensely!
Yours etc.,
W.V., Durban, Natal, South Africa.

ISRAEL-RIGHT
Sir,
I’ve just read an article on South African scholars wanting to boycott Israel. What a joke, as if Israel cares or needs South Africa. This is like a saucepan calling the kettle black. What fools. Just compare the situation. How many deaths in Israel? I do not have the figures, but can you justify over 68,000 since 1994 in South Africa, including my own brother.
Yours etc.,

SAVAGE RESULTS
Sir,
I want to write something about this sense of entitlement, and also the twisted versions of history and circumstances which are now circulating. For example, OUR labour built South Africa, say the usual suspects. They don’t understand that labour is a commodity that can be bought and sold. It’s the creators who need the labour who are the engines of South Africa, not the workers.
They don’t understand how an economy works. (If they did they would have created their own economy before the white man arrived.) They actually don’t want to understand because it suits them to play the eternal victims.
Today the IEB (Independent Examination Board) matriculation results came out, where the standard is on a par with English A levels, and the achievers are 95% white and Indian. Incredible results – some have as much as 11 distinctions. This IEB was set up by parents and teachers as they watched the ANC government’s influence take its toll on the country’s education system.
The successful achievers’ stories read the same – hard work, sacrifice, dedication and the support of parents. There’s no easy way.
The government’s pass rate for their schools is 40%, with cheating and reading exam papers before they are issued, a norm. .Anything to “get” the pass rate, never mind what you can do with it.
Verwoerd was right – separate development was the only way.
We are all well, considering we live in a country where the only European nation in the world is “governed” by savages.
Yours etc.,
G.G.R., Krugersdorp, Transvaal, South Africa.

RAND VIEW
Sir,
Seems the ANC and the K4 HIV-nation are so lazy they have to pass laws to legalize the theft of more farms and property, paid for by hard-working farmers and their families who feed the lazy K4s .Thank God some of us saw all this coming 20 odd years ago and immigrated .”Azania” kraal politics and a uneducated lazy work force. millions of Bantu racists who vote for a uneducated low-life sex-pest and put him in as head of state thinking he’s some kind of Marxist terrorist prophet . well just add it up folks: no work, no rain, less farming, over-breeding, total failure of the Rand on world markets and the crash in gold and platinum prices adds up to what . a country that’s is going to starve and have serious crime problems for decades.
Yours etc.,
Roy Winsor, Canterbury, Kent, U.K.

WHALE WARNING
Sir,
I was quite concerned to see the publicity which you gave to the PEGIDA UK organization in your latest issue. As you correctly observe, Mr. Paul Weston the Chairman of the LibertyGB party is now involved in this venture, but this doesn’t mean to say that he’s no longer involved with LibertyGB, an organization which I believe caused considerable problems for the Swinton Circle a few months back. Furthermore Dr. George Whale, also from LibertyGB, also seems to hold high office in PEGIDA UK. I urge great caution when dealing with this body.
Yours etc.,
“Powellite”, Gillingham, Kent, U.K.
[ Dr. George Whale (we don’t know whether his doctorate is genuine or not) was indeed involved with LibertyGB. When we first met him he seemed a very civilized and friendly person, and we were really looking forward to working increasingly closely together in the future. He was however present at the disastrous Swinton Circle meeting of 31st July (which of course was wrecked by about 2 dozen gate-crashers who had apparently been “invited” by elements within LibertyGB) and after the meeting collapsed in chaos he came up to us at the bar afterwards and sarcastically “congratulated” us on staging such a “successful” meeting. This either means that he has a very sick sense of humour or else he regarded the wrecking of this meeting as successful for his aims! Thanks therefore for this warning. We will indeed be very wary of PEGIDA UK from now onwards. – Ed.]

ROGUES GALLERY
A supporter from South Africa has recently sent us an e-mail in which he congratulates us for our efforts and achievements in advancing the South African cause “in exile”, but then goes on to warn us about a smear and hate campaign being waged against us by a certain Mr. Jack Sen, and asked us whether we knew anything else about him, as apparently he had been appointed “UK and European Representative” by a South African party calling itself the “Front Nationale”.
We do indeed know a lot about this sinister Jack Sen character, as we detailed in the July 2015 edition of the SCN. We replied to this enquiry from our supporter from South Africa with the following message therefore :-
“Yes, we have heard about this mysterious Jack Sen character, and indeed experienced quite a bit of trouble from this weird creature during the middle of last year, though happily this was completely overcome and we haven't heard anything further regarding him for many months now - until this unexpected message from you! [Name deleted out of courtesy] is of course also well known to us, but in her case for all the right reasons. She is now fully engrossed with the Springbok Club and indeed currently serves on our committee. She has a heart of gold and is totally dedicated to the cause. Yes, she did ‘do her own thing’ in support of the beleaguered Whites left in the ‘new’ South Africa in her initial years after re-locating here, but has now thrown all her energies into the Springbok Club, and as a result has made the organisation a far more dynamic and effective body. The Springbok Club is now undoubtedly the most important expatriate South African organisation (all the rest seem purely social-orientated and don't to want to touch politics in any way!), and this undoubtedly is the reason why the ANC and the Left - and indeed their far-Right anti-Semitic fellow-travellers - fear us so much and wish to destroy us.
“To return to Jack Sen (now colloquially referred to as ‘Sennapods’!) as an individual, we definitely don't think that he is a ‘South African intelligence agent’ as you suspect, but is actually the exact opposite, being a far-Right anti-Semitic would-be infiltrator and disruptor. Sennapods openly admits to being one-quarter Indian, but also claims that another grandparent was an Afrikaner. He rose from nowhere to be selected as the UKIP candidate for West Lancashire (the Ormskirk area) in last year's General Election, but was expelled from UKIP (who apparently mainly chose him as their candidate for "politically correct" reasons because they wanted to have more ethnic minority candidates) shortly before the election following his making some quite objectionable anti-Semitic comments about the Labour MP for Liverpool Wavertree, Luciana Berger (who is actually one of the better Labour MPs, having voted in the right way in support of air attacks against the ISIS/ISIL terrorists). Although we had read about his expulsion from UKIP we knew nothing whatsoever about Sennapods until [name deleted] warned us out-of-the-blue to be very wary of him. The very next day he contacted us via FaceBook saying that he wanted to become involved with the Springbok Club, but openly admitted that he had previously spoken for an organisation called ‘The London Forum’. Now it so happens that we knew quite a bit about this innocuously-named organisation as about a year previously they had asked one of our officials to speak for them, but when we investigated them further we discovered that they were rabidly anti-Semitic in nature, and furthermore had provided platforms for two individuals who had been instrumental in trying to destroy our fraternal patriotic organisation, the Swinton Circle. For both these reasons we therefore replied to Sennapods telling him that we didn't want to be associated with him in any way. As a result of this he simply went ballistic, threatening us with all sorts of attacks, specifically that a smear article about us would be placed on an anti-Semitic American web-site. We had never heard of this web-site before, but as the name was so cranky and it was so obscure we didn't worry about this threat of Sennapods in any way. Shortly after this, however, he sent us notification of the smear item which he had placed there - and we then started to be inundated with contacts (both FaceBook messages and ordinary e-mails) attacking us apparently as a result of this vile article. Although we were easily able to remove all these messages it was however proving a great nuisance and was occupying a lot of our valuable time, and as some of the comments made on the smear article were clearly libellous we therefore took the matter to the Police, who proved extremely helpful. We informed Sennapods that we had referred the matter to the Police - and then all the e-mail and FaceBook attacks against us suddenly ceased just as quickly as they had started! It then really ‘clicked’ that in spite of bearing a multitude of names all these e-mail and FaceBook attacks used almost identical phraseology - in other words they hadn't been sent by different people, but only by one individual using a variety of ‘sock-puppet’ names (almost certainly Sennapods himself of course!). It also soon became apparent that the crankily-named American-hosted web-site was almost certainly also run by Sennapods himself using a pseudonym, and that its readership therefore was very limited. As in addition to these revelations one of our supporters who accessed the site after we had told him about all the troubles we were experiencing remarked that the attacks on us for not being anti-Semitic would actually be viewed very favourably in the eyes of all decent people, we therefore decided not to worry about the whole unfortunate episode any further - and indeed we have not heard anything further from or about Senapods prior to this recent puzzling message from you.
“To sum up therefore, Sennapods is clearly not a ‘South African Intelligence Agent’ as you've speculated (he's far too stupid for this!), though he could be being used by the ANC-regime in order to cause disruption and time-wasting among their enemies who are actively opposing them overseas. If he is being used in this way Sennapods himself undoubtedly doesn't realise it, for in reality he is a paranoid anti-Semitic nutter with a big chip on his shoulders - undoubtedly because of his mixed-race ancestry. We've encountered such a concept previously. It's usually known as ‘being more Papist than the Pope’. Those so afflicted hate the fact that they have some non-White blood in their veins so they therefore join or associate with far-Right racist organisations, and once therein adopt the extremist possible positions so as to be accepted by other members. In this regard it is interesting to note that after being expelled from UKIP Sennapods almost immediately joined the overtly neo-fascist ‘British National Party’!”
We would furthermore like to add that we know very little about the South African political party calling itself the “Front Nationale” which was mentioned – although the fact that a South African organization uses a French name does appear to be very strange. Furthermore, with Freedom Front Plus operating within the system and the HNP still valiantly working outside, there doesn’t seem to be any need for another pro-White political party in South Africa. If, however, our supporter who contacted us in this regard is correct and that the highly sinister Jack Sen is their officially appointed overseas representative, then the organization as a whole must therefore be viewed with great suspicion.
