The British National Party in Scotland has had its own unique emblem since
2001. The design was produced during a workshop meeting in Glasgow with
Party members from all over Scotland with the purposes of emphasising that
the BNP was not just an English party.
Three teams were formed for the workshop and rotated around three different
areas for development, which were culture, publicity and emblem design.
Amazingly all three groups produced virtually the same design during their
alloted times.
The first thistle design above was the result of combining the three drafts
and has been used on virtually all Scottish BNP leaflets since and was
registered with the Electoral Commission for use in our election campaigns.
This month however, a new updated emblem has been registered with the
Electoral Commission following a consultation of Scottish Organisers and
Fundholders which unanimously selected the new design.
Growing confidence
The new bolder emblem reflects the growing confidence of BNP Scotland and
our intention to stamp our mark on the electoral landscape in Scotland. The
next Holyrood elections are due in May 2007 and prospective candidates have
already come forward for some regional lists. Initial indications point to
the strong possibility of a breakthrough in Glasgow if local activists put
in the effort.
The BNP in Scotland is fiercely proud of our Scottish identity, culture and
heritage as can be seen in our manifesto for the previous Holyrood election
and this brave new logo reinforces our commitment to preserving tradition at
a time when other so called Scottish nationalists are falling over
themselves to dilute that through the promotion of mass immigration.

Am I alone in thinking the emblem is a bit reminiscent of a well-known
children's TV character from my childhood? Take a look at Chris's link

Erm.... you do realise you're referring to the old logo, don't you ?
She looks a bit butcher and a lot happier in the new logo, certainly.
Steve
Indeed - sturdier, more positive and here to stay, just like the British
National Party in Scotland !
Steve
True. Once nationalist ideas and sentiments are sparked within a people,
they become wholly unstoppable.

Hmmmm, the SNP as the government in Scotland, and the BNP as the
government in Britain. Sure would make for an interesting
combination, plus it'd upset Rupert Murdoch. :-)

Yaaaawn .... *not* a British nationalist party.
It appears nobody wants a British Nationlist Part, even in Britain. Or a
very small crowd of nobodies, if you prefer..

With almost a million votes for the British National Party in the 2004 Euro
election, it appears many people *do* want such a thing, (tw)at.
Even the Greens beat BNP.....and they are not taken that seriously!
UKIP pulled almost 3 times as many votes as BNP.

Who cares what *you* think the British people "take seriously", Ferris.

And we all know what happened to *them*.
As I said, a small crowd of nobodies... less than 1/800th of the
electorate! LOL
How does that compare historically? You used to get more votes when you
still called yourselves the NF didn't you?

Another Scottish view:
BNP Scotland - why do they bother?
I was going to do my indepth dissection of the BNP's Scottish Manifesto
in this post, but I'm still laughing too hard. They're such a bunch of
idiots it's amazing to imagine that some actually take them seriously
enough to vote for them.
Any party which can SERIOUSLY claim that what Scotland needs is more
musical instrument manufacturers, farriers, saddlers and drystane
dykers isn't living in the real world, but the same bizarro cultural
wankland inhabited by Americans cooing over tartan and sporrans and
Braveheart. And what to make of the claim that books are regularly
rejected by Scottish schools on the grounds that their authors are
"White and English-speaking"? What language does the author think we
speak in Scotland? Mind you, that could explain the textbook shortage.
"Can't have this book, comrade, it's written entirely in English, and
that'll never do for the Higher English class. Haven't you got one
written in a combination of Mongolian and Dutch by a one-legged black
lesbian?"
As for "white" being used as a category for rejection, I don't know
what the BNP think Scottish schools are like. For a lot of the teachers
at my school, which was far from being politically correct,
"homosexual" meant "boy who isn't any good at football" and "mongol"
was a perfectly acceptable way to describe a kid with Down's Syndrome.
We read precisely ONE book by a black person in my entire school
career, and even then, it was a book by an English-speaking black
person (note to the BNP - yes, this is possible) which was good, as we
all spoke English. (I don't feel this point can be overstated.)
If you went to my old school and accused the teachers of picking books
solely on the basis of political correctness, you'd better be prepared
for a hefty dry-cleaning bill as the laughter would cause them to lose
control of their bladders. I never heard from any of my fellow Scots
ever that they went to school in some kind of politically correct
indoctrination camp where reading books by white writers got you a
punishment form and you weren't allowed to ask for a black pen in
class, but had to ask for a "pen of colour" or whatever nonsense is
being claimed by the rightwing this week. I suspect strongly that this
mythical school never existed and never will, except in daft manifestos
by the far right and the letters page of the Daily Mail.

Ah yes - no wonder you "lost" it - it's a Blog from one of your Communist
"friends" named "Justic" who, amongst other things, champions the causes of
the Baader Meinhoff gang, the Marxist Internet Archive and the World Power

The source refutes itself by its own very nature, hag.

I don't have a master!
Besides the sentiment expressed is still so very true,BTW how did the
Scotchies get on with the rugby yesterday:-)))))
Translation - the Jocks lost 29 - 10 !
Yes, that's great "progress", glug ! Mwahahahahaha !
And beat the English 4.5-2.5 at tennis. Mwahahaha yourself.

What astonishing enthusiasm for such a resounding defeat <g>
I do so hope Scotland don't win a match by a convincing margin, or I
fear we shall see Guig spontaneously combust!

Oh, I didn't realise the team with the lowest score wins ! How silly of
me, John McGuigan !

Aye, aye, aye. That'll be why the Christian Party gets more votes than
the your Fascists I suppose?
