Comments

I don't know much about this party but there may be some errors in this article. If anyone with better knowledge can assist in cleaning it, this would be appreciated.

Firstly, I can't reconcile the character of Patrick Moore with the "infamously chaired by TV astronomer Patrick Moore" reference. I can't think that he would do anything infamously. Does it mean that the fact that he was associated with the party at all was infamous or that he chaired it in an infamous manner? In any event it's probably POV.

Does the NBP still organise an annual March for Freedom from Runnymede to Westminster if it's now just one man?

I don't think the UKIP supports any other political party, but the statement that NBP is supported by them seems questionable.

Intruiged by this question, I did some Google searches. Searching on New Britain Party, I found very little about the party itelf, but literally hundreds of pages referring to the past membership of the party of UKIP's Nattrass and Titford, always with the implication that this shows UKIP to be 'Brownshirts in Blazers". The original text references, much duplicated, seems to come from the Britain in Europe website and from this Wikipedia article.

Googling on "New Britain Party" + "March for Freedom" I found literally nothing except repetitions of this Wikipedia article in the usual places.

Googling on "March for Freedom" + "Runnymede" I found two pages on the website of the all-party Campaign for an Independdent Britain. These referred to the march taking place in 1998 and 1999, and said it was organised by the Anti Maastrict Alliance (a eurosceptic umbrella group, now nearly defunct, which so far as I can tell had nothing to do with the NBP though it may have been connected with UKIP).

I therefore conclude (a) that the annual March for Freedom was organised by the Anti Maastricht Allaince, not the NBP and (b) that so far as I can tell, the march hasn't taken place since 1999. I am therefore amending the NBP article to remove any mention of the march. [Twilde 4/12/05]

This article is identical to that on http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/New_Britain_Party. I don't know which was copied from the other.Chile Nose Jam (talk) 16:02, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A party which opposes immigration isn't therefore "white nationalist", or "avowedly racist"!203.184.41.226 (talk) 06:53, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Website link

Hi, the website linked (newbritain.com) no longer appears to be associated with the party. Should it be replaced by a wayback machine link? 31.50.4.56 (talk) 10:44, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
