Flagship WNP meeting in Ulster:
July 19th 2003
A packed meeting in county Antrim was an excellent first for the Ulster WNP. Over forty members and supporters from all six Ulster counties and a handful from England packed the room and heard the Antrim WNP Organiser, Jerry Adamson describe the rapid growth of the WNP, the recent press coverage and the plans for even more activism and expansion all over Northern Ireland. Jerry stated that the WNP, unlike other 'Nationalist' groups in Britain would never change its founding principles in pursuit of 'respectability' and he warned of how the Ulster was well on the way to becoming like any other part of the UK with its growing non-White population.


Meeting chairman John O'Brien then introduced the second speaker, Lancashire WNP Organiser Mark Cotterill (right). Mark described how the WNP in his own area - Lancashire - had grown faster than anyone could anticipate since it was formed only a couple of months ago. He spoke of the last time he was in Ulster - in December last year - to speak at a BNP meeting, but had grown disappointed with that party due to its rapid sell-out of its core principles and policies. Mark pointed out that the editor of the BNP's newspaper - Freedom - even refused to publish a photo' of the Ulster BNP meeting that he spoke at last year, as the BNP organiser - Andy McLorie had "a skinhead type hair style"  and that was not suitable for a BNP paper!


John O'Brien introduced the final and main speaker of the day, Peter Rushton, from Manchester WNP, who ended the meeting with a rousing speech in which he spoke about both the recent troubles in Ulster and the racial problems in England. He said  that power could be won by not selling out to the modernisers and populists and that the WNP - and ONLY the White Nationalist Party - could do this, both in Ulster and in mainland Britain. Peter went on to stress the fundamental differences that were now arising between the National Populists of the BNP and the fundamental racial radicalism of the WNP.  He stressed the 32 point programme of the WNP was not up for change, and he stressed that all our policies were based on a recognition of race as the basis of nationhood and a commitment to no compromise on such matters as repatriation, multi-racialism, opposition to homosexuality and the building of a the WNP into the vanguard party of the White people of Britain. Peter commented on the recent statements put out by so-called Loyalist organisations denouncing the WNP and the recent spate of racial attacks in the province. "You would think we would have been made unwelcome here after all this, however nothing could be further from the truth and the local Loyalists we met from the UDA made us very welcome and supported most of what we stand for," remarked Peter.

The meeting ended with Ulster WNP member April taking the collection which brought in a very healthy sum for local funds. Heritage and Destiny ran a very busy stall of books, badges, flags, T-shirts and CD's and the WNP literature stall run by Kev took over £110 for party funds. July 19th 2003 was great day for Ulster WNP with many new members being signed up signed up as well.

The following day there was more media coverage in the very left-wing Sunday Life and Sunday World newspapers.

The evening preceding the meeting, the English members were taken to a Loyalist band parade in the town of Bushmills, County Antrim, by local WNP members. Over 40 bands from all over Ulster paraded through the town. The streets were decked out in Union Jack and Ulster flags and packed with patriotic Britons. WNP members sold over fifty copies of Heritage and Destiny magazine and dozens of badges in less than an hour!

A great evening of comradeship was had by all.
