ALL ABOARD THE EQUALITIES ROUNDABOUT !

I think you all know our position when it comes to the equalities and diversity industry. Our flag, the Union Flag, was removed from Belfast City hall apparently in the name of equalities.Republicans are using equalities as part of their "Cultural Jihad" against Protestants and Unionists.

We are now in a situation were the PSNI are overtly anti Unionist/Loyalist, attacking men women and children peacefully protesting the erosion of our national identity.
The Parades Commission quango constantly attacks Unionist/Protestant culture while giving soccour to Republicans.
The constant stream of historical enquiries are completely one sided in favour of Republican gunmen and murderers.

So high time we turned the tables on our enemies by giving them a taste of their own medicine!

The British National Party has formally complained to the Equality Commission about the sectarian and anti-British  nature of the GAA and what we consider to be a breach of equalities legislation. This has long been an issue which has caused great anger amongst Protestants and Unionists.The following link is a good example of this.

We will back this up with a leaflet campaign and undoubtedly a petition and possible legal action against the E.C. who are unlikely to find in our favour. Although we have great admiration for those , including our members, who have participated in flag protests, we believe that more targeted campaigns are required to redress the balance of inequality towards the Unionist/Loyalist community
So exciting times ahead we think.

The following was sent on the 15/02/2013.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you formally on behalf of members of the Protestant and Unionist communities resident in Northern Ireland.

We are concerned that the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in Northern Ireland is likely to be in breach of The Fair Employment and Treatment (Northern Ireland) Order 1998, part IV, Discrimination in the provision of goods, facilities or services:
Article28/ —(1) It is unlawful for any person concerned with the provision (for payment or not) of goods, facilities or services to the public or a section of the public to discriminate against a person who seeks to obtain or use those goods, facilities or services paragraphs (a) access to and use of any place which members of the public are permitted to enter. (b) facilities for entertainment, recreation or refreshment.
We believe there is prima facie evidence of indirect discrimination by the GAA against a) Unionists and b) the Protestant community.

GAA grounds across Northern Ireland, (U.K.), permit the flying of the flag of a foreign state, the Irish Republic, and the playing or singing of the national anthem of a foreign state, the Irish Republic.

Furthermore some GAA grounds are named after prominent Republicans and have been used for Republican anti-British political commemorations contrary to the Association’s own rules.

This creates an environment where Unionists will feel intimidated, threatened and of less value than other citizens, because of their national identity. Effectively they are excluded from attending or participating in GAA in Northern Ireland.

The GAA commonly operates what is known as “The Parish Rule” –A Parish for the purpose of this Rule shall, subject to County boundaries, be under the jurisdiction  of a Parish Priest or Administrator.

This rule appears to align the GAA with the Roman Catholic Church and as a consequence excludes Protestants from attending or participating in GAA sports in Northern Ireland.

We are asking that the Equalities Commission N.Ireland investigate what we consider to be the sectarian and anti-British nature of the GAA and the exclusion of the above named groups from their grounds and organisation.

As you are of course aware, the Equalities Commission and all political parties have a duty to ensure that equality is for all sections of our community in equal measure. Failure to fulfil that duty in this regard would leave the Equality Commission vulnerable to Judicial Review. While we would rather not bring such action, since the resulting costs would fall upon the taxpayers, we are prepared to do so if necessary.

It is important that all sections of the community, including Unionists and Protestants in Northern Ireland are treated with parity of esteem if we are to attain the much vaunted “shared future” which was the vision of the “Good Friday Agreement”

I await your response on these issues before considering further action.
Yours faithfully,
Steven Moore
Organiser, British National Party – Northern Ireland


Let us be quite clear this action is in no way anti-Catholic. Nor do we have anything against people playing Gaelic Games.
However if they are using facets of their culture to destroy or erode ours we are duty bound to fight against this.

A copy of this letter has been sent to the Alliance Party who sided with the Pan Republican Front of Sinn Fein/IRA and the SDLP to take the flag down in the name of "equalities".
We wonder will they now back the British National Party  in the name of equalities to give Unionists and Protestants parity of esteem?
