It has been brought to my attention that not only are groups functioning illegally (though no doubt very well-meaningly, but that is beside the point) under the name of the British People's Alliance without having cleared the matter with us (info@britishpeoplesalliance.org.uk - how hard is that?), but that someone using that name is now editing Wikipedia pages in a malicious and libellous manner.
I have been urged to report this matter to the Police, who would view the unauthorised use of the name of a registered political party as an open-and-shut case. But can I be bothered? (Those being libelled are, of course, in a different position.)
After all, we all know who and what these people are. They lied this country into war, made a packet out of it, have engineered the crash, and are now making a packet out of that, yet regard themselves as the Arbiters of the Left. Even only a matter of months ago, they actually functioned as such. But now, nobody wants to know them. So, are they worth it? Are they worth anything any more? Not even in their own minds, if this is how they behave.
But stop it. You are breaking the law. And even if I don't get you for that, someone will eventually. The same applies to the unauthorised BPA groups at UWE and elsewhere.

I am using the name of the BPA at King's, and I will certainly not go to you for approval. You've failed to get the party mentioned even once in the mass media and the way people manage to expose your ignorance in the comments section is really ominous. Your threats are ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteOh, but they are not mine, dear boy.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you don't need this. Not while you are a student.
I don't know who you are, David 2 (don't recognise you from any message boards etc) but would you mind emailing me?
ReplyDeleteWe should all try to link up on this.
Well go ahead and sue me then. It's time we had out in the open the fact that you've brought the party into disrepute. It's a laughing stock. You have no mentions in the press, you've failed to do any of the things you said you'd do, and the only references to you anywhere on the blogosphere just make fun of you and your penchant for making up false names for yourself. Go ahead, I say again: sue me.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a civil matter. And you don't seem to grasp that something can't be in disprepute if nobody has heard of it. Neither of which is the case, anyway. Nothing else by you will be put up here.
ReplyDeleteBobby, I'll email you within the next hour or so.
David 2 - you're not being very constructive. Look at what we're doing down here in Bristol - getting people together, designing a new logo, signing people up. We haven't got any central control either, but there's no point moanuing about it - take the initiative and start creating your own BPA in London.
ReplyDeleteSo the police are going to hunt me down for criminal offences, eh? You are totally delusional. I will certainly be using the name of the BPA.
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck, but the fact remains that if you use the name without permission, the you are simply breaking the law.
ReplyDeleteWe welcome the organisational possibilities in universities, of course. But this is not a student organisation. This is the proper, grown-up world. Where I don't make the rules. And where, if you break them (as you are doing), you won't just be answering to some university disciplinary committee.
The Electoral Commission will hunt you down, and there is simply no doubt that your illegal actions are bringing King's into disrepute.
ReplyDeleteYou are mis-using the name of a registered political party. Do try and understand that, difficult though you obviously find it.
You are hopelessly out of your depth, you silly little boy.
"This is the proper, grown-up world. Where I don't make the rules. And where, if you break them (as you are doing), you won't just be answering to some university disciplinary committee"
ReplyDeleteI've said before, and I say it again - what is the problem here David? We're adding to the BPA name, not taking away. Spreading the word, and all that - whilst firming up a few of the more flaky policies. Yes, David 2 is being a bit of a fool, but I don't see whay you're persecuting the people that can help you!
"something can't be in disprepute if nobody has heard of it"
ReplyDeleteIs this the BPA's strategy?
Poor, sweet David 2 seems to think so.
ReplyDeleteIf something is not on popbitch, then he doesn't believe that it's happening.
Bobby, I've just emailed you. Do reply ASAP.
Good to see that the BPA appeals to silly little boys.
ReplyDeleteClaerly it doesn't. We've already had to expel one, more or less, before he has even joined. A good start, actually. Take the hint.
ReplyDeleteIf he dislikes it so much, then why does he wnat to be in it? For the same reasons that Trots wanted to be in the Labour Party or radical libertarians wanted to be in the Conservative Party, I suppose. Well, we are having none of that.
