Diary - Follow the money, the saying goes. And the result from Conservative HQ. Silence
"It was almost three weeks ago that we asked Conservative central office about the £50,000 donation made to the party by one John E Dodd, which is helpfully noted on the Electoral Commission register. Three weeks tomorrow in fact, but the frequent promises of clarification have never materialised. Frankly, we're still puzzled. Could it be, we asked, that the donor - who has given the party enough to become part of David Cameron's elite Leader's Club - is John Edwin Dodd, the investment type who co-founded Artemis fund management group? John Edwin Dodd, the multimillionaire owner of the Glenogil shooting estate, in Angus, Tayside, who last year had his farming subsidy cut by £107,000 by the Scottish executive - a record sanction - after police found highly toxic and illegal pesticides on bait. We thought it best to ask because it would seem strange for the Tories, who say they will do all to protect our green and pleasant land, to be taking money from one judged by the authorities to be imperilling it, despite his continued claims of innocence. The days have passed since we asked. Since then, nothing from him, nothing from them."

David Cameron urged to sever links with Polish MEP
"Michal Kaminski, the chair of the European Conservatives and Reformists group, has far-right tendencies, anti-racism campaigners claim"
"Prominent Jewish figures and anti-racism campaigners in Europe today urged David Cameron to sever his links with a Polish politician they claim has far-right and neo-Nazi tendencies.
Rabbis have expressed concern that the Tory leader has allied himself with the MEP Michal Kaminski, who earlier this month became the chair of the European Conservatives and Reformists group, which includes about 25 Tory MEPs.
In an interview with this week's New Statesman, the Chief Rabbi of Poland, Michael Schudrich, said it was "clear" that Kaminski was a former member of the National Revival of Poland party, which the US State Department described as "habouring anti-semitic views".
Kaminski has been accused of downplaying the massacre of Jews in wartime Poland - a charge he has strongly denied - while the National Revival of Poland party is known for extremist views and campaigns.
"It is clear that Mr Kaminski was a member of the NOP, a group that is openly far-right and neo-Nazi," Schudrich said.
"Anyone who would want to align himself with a person who was an active member of NOP and the Committee to Defend the Good Name of Jedwabne, which was established to deny historical facts of the massacre ... needs to understand with what, and by whom, he is being represented."
Rafal Pankowski, of the Holocaust campaign group Never Again, said: "Kaminski has an extreme right background."
"To have him, of all people, the chairman of a group that legitimises far-right tendencies across Europe, is somewhat ironic, [especially] for a leader like Cameron, who domestically opposed the BNP, for example."

Neo-Nazi scum plan to march on Remembrance Sunday
[note: if you must notice one thing about the above picture/poster, notice that it is 'Rock Against Communism'
That should tell you whether they are left-wing or right-wing, (for Harry Phibbs etc)
So, any Tories reading this, remember these are in fact your allies in your amazing defeat of communism.
Epitomised by the Atlantic Bridge 'charity'.
And don't forget the Thurrock Pact ;)]
"One person who may be particularly happy to hear that the NF is planning to march on Sunday is, of course, Lee Barnes, Legal Director of the BNP. Here�s what he has written about the National Front:
The National Front is an organisation for those people who are Street Activists, not political activists.
When it sticks to street activism it does a superb job"
The National Front must become the Nationalist counterpart to the Leftist UAF.
The NF should be organising massive Armistice Day celebrations, demonstrations, festivals, rock concerts, marches, cultural events and many other nationalist cultural events, not wasting theit time on electioneering.
- this is precisely the role that the NF would do best.
I wait with interest to see what Barnes has to say about the "superb" National Front and their neo-Nazi activities this coming weekend."

'The British National Party has put forward its deputy leader as its general election candidate in Stoke-on-Trent Central, one of its top target seats nationally.
Simon Darby will help the party launch its nationwide campaign to withdraw Britain's troops from Afghanistan at a press conference in Stoke-on-Trent on Friday 15 January. Opposition to the global war against terrorism, in the form of the Afghanistan war, will be the BNP's primary general election campaign theme, Nick Griffin, the party leader, announced at the end of December.
The press conference will also spearhead the BNP's campaign for the three Stoke-on-Trent parliamentary seats and its local election effort, where the party hopes to defend three of its nine seats and make new council gains. Two BNP councillors, Michael Coleman and Melanie Baddeley, will stand for Parliament in Stoke South and Stoke North respectively. '

Rise in hate crime follows BNP council election victories
'Reports of racial and religiously motivated crime rose following the election of British National party councillors in several far-right strongholds, police statistics have revealed.
Complaints of hate crime increased in wards in the West Midlands, London and Essex after the election of a BNP member, in spite of declines in reported hate crime in the wider police areas. In other wards race crime reportedly rose in the runup to BNP election victories, according to the figures, obtained by the Guardian under the Freedom of Information Act.
The findings came as the party stepped up its campaign to win its first seats in the House of Commons with a "weekend of action" in Barking and Dagenham, where the culture and tourism minister, Margaret Hodge, faces a challenge for her Labour seat from BNP leader, Nick Griffin. Hodge said the new figures cast doubt on police assurances that there is no link between racially motivated crime and a BNP presence.'

British National Party (BNP) leader Nick Griffin leaves London County Court, London
'The British National Party was plunged into constitutional chaos yesterday, just weeks before the general election, after a judge ruled its membership policy was still discriminatory.
An injunction was placed on the far-right party preventing it from accepting new members until it complied with race relations laws. The BNP is also likely to be financially crippled after Judge Paul Collins ordered costs against it.
In what was hailed as a "groundbreaking" judgment, believed to be the first of its kind against a British political party, Judge Collins ordered that the BNP should no longer be allowed to use adherence to key aspects of its principles and beliefs as a condition of membership.
The party abolished its whites-only policy last month in a bid to avoid an injunction but in a serious setback to its bid for political legitimacy, Judge Collins found that it was "still likely to commit unlawful acts of discrimination".'
