Open Letter Posted and an Invitation To Eddy Butler to make a stand on the accusations

OPEN LETTER TO EDDY BUTLERNATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER Cllr PAUL GOLDING Dear Fellow Party Officer, I was reluctant to send this email, but the truth is I have beenslandered to such a degree that I feel that I have no choice. I have uncovered an outrageous lie against me and wish to openly challenge the person responsible to withdraw their claim – butfirst, the background to this nonsense needs to be explained. Firstly I must make clear that I am in no way supportive of Eddy Butler in his bid for the BNP leadership. This is no secret. Ifeel he completely lacks the charisma, the oratory, the intellect,the management skill, the vision, the flair and the dynamismneeded to be a leader of a party, and also feel that, based onprevious experience of working side by side with him that he isegotistical, negative, rude ‘control freak’. That is mypersonal opinion based on my experience of him. Shortly after the European Elections last year, myself, andindeed, practically everyone with eyes to see, noticed that EddyButler and Mark Collett were suddenly enjoying a cosyrelationship that baffled everyone, particularly given MarkCollett’s well-known ‘hard-line’ Nazi position and Eddy Butler’slong-standing position as a ‘liberal’ by normal nationaliststandards. When Mark Collett was caught, not for the first time, trying todefraud the party of tens of thousands of pounds by using dodgyprinters for large election print jobs, and after Mr Butler wasgiven an official warning for his antics and behaviour whilstorganising a trip to the EU (this is the now infamous incidentwhere, following a night of heavy drinking, including a tripto a brothel, he was still so drunk the next morning that he kepta whole coach load of activists waiting for an hour), severalother senior officials became aware of a growing chorus ofplotting and scheming by Mark Collett and Eddy Butler. My observation during the period between the Euro Elections andthe end of 2009 was that Mr Butler was expanding his position asNational Organiser literally, he was acting as the ‘directorgeneral’ of the party, trying to control everything in sight andinterfering in everyone else’s remits and responsibilities (eventhough he had little ‘real life’ experience and had never beenmore than a low level civil servant all of his working life,strangely never ‘exposed’ by Searchlight). I feel that whether he intended it or not, Mr Butler didn’t takehis position as national elections officer seriously any longerand preferred to strut around as National Organiser trying tohave a say in all manner of party operations that weren’t hisbusiness and evidently had not the faintest idea of what he wastalking about. Practically every staff member will testify tothis. The party, in my opinion, suffered because of this, inby-election after by-election in 2009, and I find it a bit richthat Mr Butler should now claim we need a ‘full-time’ electionsofficer when he himself shunned the opportunity. My experience of Eddy Butler was that he was/is a ‘control freak’.He alone was a senior officer and everyone else is a mere minion.He has a “I’m more senior than you ,so piss off” attitude –everyone who knows him can attest to this. For example, one of myremits within the party is fundraising. When the General Electionroadshow meetings were in full swing, Mr Butler decided it was agood idea to hold his Eastern Region meeting in the same place,same venue, hence same crowd, within 1 week, of the Londonroadshow meeting. I advised him that, from a fundraising pointof view, this was not a good idea. Eddy’s response was to ring me up screaming abuse at me, orderingme NEVER to ‘interfere’ in ‘his’ region again. This outrageousoutburst of abuse against a well-meaning fellow party comradeshocked me, and others, and I had no choice but to tell him torefrain from using language like that towards me again. The mainbone of contention in this debacle was ego, I have no doubt aboutthis, as can be gauged from his reply to my email protesting athis arrogance and rudeness: “I do not require advice on holdingmeetings - the best place they should be, the attendees and soforth from anyone - from top to bottom in this Party or associatedwith this Party. I am probably the most successful ‘meetingorganiser in the history of the movement – not just the Party.”He continued: “I hope my shouting on this rare occasion will notput you off giving useful or even useless advice and ideas in thefuture.” What made me chuckle is that despite his arrogant and rudeoutburst against me he went on to change his meeting completelyaround and implement the changes I proposed in any case,confirming that I was right all along. I have spoken to many,many people nationwide with similar experiences of Eddy Butler,and it seems to be an established pattern of behaviour. The behind-the-scenes agitation of Butler and Collett culminatedin Mr Collett and Butler trying to recruit National TreasurerDavid Hannam into a post-General Election Advisory Council ambushof Chairman Nick Griffin. Their despicable and underhanded planwas to falsely accuse Mr Griffin of financial wrong-doing, andwhen the Chairman turned to David Hannam for a rebuttal, he wouldremain silent, and by his silence he would condemn an innocentman as a thief, can you imagine such wickedness? Thus the planwas to force our democratically elected and totally innocentleader to step down by means of lies and a stab in the back. I also understand, because I have heard it with my own ears, thatMr Butler is telling everyone a false and nonsensical version ofwhat happened regarding him and Mark Collett. How do I know thetruth? Because I have heard the Mark Collett recording for myselfand I am disgusted and shocked by the antics of Mr Collett andButler. I am not the only one, the pre-General Election meeting of nearlyone hundred key officials was offered the chance to hear therecording, and decided (for legal reasons) to delegate a smallgroup chosen from their ranks by them to listen to key sectionsof it. This was done and Cllr. Michael Simpkins, a former RAFPoliceman, told the meeting that they were satisfied that therecording was genuine, contained the material outlined, andprovided prima facie evidence of several serious criminaloffences including, threats to kill, theft, fraud, conspiracyand false accounting. (Indeed an ongoing police investigationis still underway regarding some extremely serious criminalallegations). I also applaud Nick Griffin’s decision, however advantageous itwould be otherwise to him personally, not to publish or releasethe Mark Collett recording, as this would hand the media a hugeweapon to use against us (and Mr Butler knows this). If he did,there would be a media storm against us like we have never seenbefore, it could finish us, and to be honest Butler and Collettaren’t worth it! (remember Jim Dowson’s wife Anne had amiscarriage when informed by the police that a plot to stab herhusband at their home in Spain was explained to her). Nick Griffin could finish Eddy Butler tomorrow and prove toeveryone that he is a liar by releasing the Collett recording,but he refuses to because the greater interests of the party takehigher priority. When Eddy and Mark Collett’s plan was uncovered via therecording, Eddy Butler was offered the chance to resign withdignity, and he did in front of witnesses. He wasn’t sacked, heresigned because he had no other option. As part of the deal forhis resignation, he was to hand back a USB memory stick that hestole from Jim Dowson way back last JULY. Several Eastern Regionofficers can verify that Eddy did indeed hand back the memorystick that he stole as part of this deal. Ask yourself: what kindof man steals from someone’s home/office whilst a guest in hishouse? Eddy Butler was also offered the chance of a European researchjob working for Nick Griffin after the election as part of thesame face-saving package (scandal only helps our enemies), butwhen the time came, he reneged on the whole deal, exploiting thefact that Nick had taken him at his word when he agreed toresign, so that he has since blagged several more months wagesfrom our financially hard-pressed party (the fact that we areshort of funds is no secret nor a surprise, given the fact thatEddy Butler supporters are telling everyone not to give money inan attempt to cause a crisis for which he can then pose as the‘saviour’ and the bold Eddy still demands his £40.000 per year +expenses from us). Threats of legal action are his ‘blackmailweapons’ and his barrister mate Adrian Davies. Like so many other decent nationalists, I am horrified by EddyButler’s actions since he initiated his leadership ‘campaign’.He has preached the need to clean up the BNP’s ‘image’ – thisdespite his main ally being Naziboy and notorious crank, MarkCollett. Eddy’s other supporters include various other ‘hard-linewannabe cranks’ like mixed race Sharon Ebanks. I am also horrified by his alliance with Simon Bennett, thetraitor who destroyed the BNP website during the election, whenwe had record number of hits, shut down the media enquiriessystem when I was handling over 100 media enquiries a day, andcrashed our internal email server, bringing our enquiries andcommunications circulation to a grinding halt. Simon Bennett ISEddy Butler’s webmaster, despite his frequent and rather pathetictactical denials. Simon Bennett has recently been cooperatingwith the Daily Mirror and UAF to spread anti-BNP lies. He hasrecently destroyed Richard Barnbrook’s website and directedRichards’s traffic to a pro-Butler site! How disgusting is that? I am also shocked by Eddy Butler’s waffle regarding partyfinances and ‘transparency’. I have heard a recording of EddyButler stating that he has no proof of any wrong doing (this hasbeen repeated on his own website), and that the accusations ofwrong doing are in fact “a red herring”. This was played at ameeting of Essex BNP officers recently and the cynicism ofButler’s attempt to destroy Nick Griffin’s reputation withunfounded lies raised a few eye brows. You must also be made aware of Eddy Butler’s continuing agitationagainst the party’s fundraising success. Eddy Butler is saying itis terrible that we have contracted the services of a fundraisingprofessional who has raised our donations income from a paltry£150,000 in 2007 to a whopping £1.6 million last year. He issaying that his fees are too much, even though they are belowthe industry average and all sorts of valuable extra servicesare included in the contract for free. Well, my personal opinionis that Mr Butler is saying these things for purely tacticalreasons as he needs to batten onto fresh gripes that he discoversaround the country to gain fresh support. When a griper from the South West started whinging aboutfundraising and Jim Dowson in mid-2009 Mr Butler took a verydifferent line. In fact read the following email to garner MrButler’s true feelings about Jim Dowson and fundraising: From: eddymbutler@hotmail.comTo: peterclucas@hotmail.comCC:midwest@bnp.org.ukSubject: RE:Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 22:07:05 +0000 None of our appeals come out of thin air - all are run andconceived by people - people who do it for a living and have tobe paid. That is what happends when people do things for a living,in th real world. Your pathetic criticism at a time when theParty is fighting for its survival does you no credit. If youcould find any normal charity (for example) that paid 92.5% ofits collections directly to the cause to which the funds weredonated then it would be truely remarkable. If you have a problemwith this then you have no place in this Party. If I see anyfutrrther round robins of this nature coming from you disciplinaryaction will follow immediately.Eddy ButlerNational Organiser I would like to highlight the sentence, “Your pathetic criticismat a time when the Party is fighting for its survival does you nocredit.” Perhaps you should heed your own words Mr Butler. Alsothe sentence, “If you have a problem with this [fundraising] thenyou have no place in this Party.” What a 100% turn around by MrButler! He is criticising fundraising at a time when funds arelow due to the usual post-election exhaustion (and in part due tohis deliberate undermining of confidence and morale) and doeshimself, in his own words, no credit. Most disturbing to me is Mr Butler’s seemingly abundant supportfrom elements outside the BNP – elements that would like nothingbetter than a large, professional and consolidated BNP trashedand split up for their own benefit. For example, Mr Butler hastrumpeted the support of Jonathan Bowden, who is NOT a BNP member.Mr Bowden has been chastised several times over the last year forexclaiming that he is a ‘fascist’ at BNP meetings, and alsoannouncing his support for the Klu Klux Klan. He attends BNPmeetings with a cranky Viking rune around his neck, and his ownpersonal website is full of the most weird modern art you willever see, including a ‘painting’ of a woman putting her handsdown her knickers! Do we really want our party handed over tosuch outside crackpots, just because they are old friends of MrButler? Sensible people must also be alarmed at the open and blatantsupport Mr Butler is receiving on the websites of Searchlight,Hope Not Hate and Unite against Fascism (UAF). These websites arerolling out a non-stop and ferocious conveyor belt of hate andlies against Nick Griffin, Jim Dowson, their families and otherhard-working and positive officials. Yet they are full of praisefor Mr Butler, repeating his empty campaign promises word forword. You don't have to be Einstein to look at this and seeexactly what’s going on? Many people who remember these leftwing organisations similarlybacking the list-leak traitors two years ago now look with suspicion on the far-left’s blatant support for Butler. Couplethis with his seemingly effortless ability to survive with littleincome and we have to question what is going on. How is EddyButler, who has two families and refused to work for the BNP forany less than £40,000 per year plus expenses, able to pay hisbills, buy new suits, travel the country and live worry-free andfinance this very lavish campaign of lies? It’s just not possible,is it? Also, as a dedicated nationalist and British patriot, I ambemused by the coalition of fringe types Mr Butler has gatheredaround himself. From militant homosexuals to outright Nazis, fromHolocaust deniers to a new Chinese member who wants the BNP tobecome multicultural, and so on. For example, Mr Butler has beentelling anyone who will listen, that the thief Mark Collett’sex-girlfriend Shelley Rose is a ‘plant’ and a ‘wrong un’…now hehas put her face on his website! Shelley Rose has embarrassedthe party with her anti-Jewish remarks and is known as anextreme Nazi who has been chastised for attending National FrontMarches and Blood & Honours gigs. Likewise, Richard Edmonds wasgoing to be kicked off the Advisory Council several months agofor attending the release from prison of the world’s mostprominent Holocaust Denier. Then there is Mr Butler’s close links to the Membership ListLeakers. I was handed Mr Butler’s old party phone by an EasternRegion official a short while ago, and I asked a techy friend ofmine to re-import his contacts list from the cache memory, whichhe did. To my surprise Mr Butler had the numbers of Sadie Graham,Kenny Smith and the internet crackpot and Butler supporter SharonEbanks on his contacts list. Then I am told by a reliable Scottish friend of mine that when MrButler visited Scotland recently he actually visited Kenny Smith,one of the Sadie Graham traitors (now ask yourself: why wasn’tany pictures of this Scottish trip put up on his blog? Hmmm.) Nowhis promises on his blog that former members will ‘rejoin’ makesperfect sense. I have been told by many officials, especially in the EasternRegion, that support for Mr Butler is melting away as hisalliance with Nazis, homosexuals, transvestites (Tony Ward) andoutsiders, together with his tacit support from Searchlight andCo, becomes too much to stomach. These outrages coupled with hisown recent admission that he has no proof to back up any of hisfinancial claims is waking people up to his campaign of lies. Faced with his sinking ship, he is playing the “I’m beingstitched up card” to gather sympathy, not support. Take, forexample, his recent big hoo ha about the suspensions of severalofficials in Liverpool and the South East. After Sadie Graham andCo leaked the BNP membership list and caused untold suffering forBNP members and supporters, isn’t it right that we protect ourmembership lists from abuse? There exists a law called the Data Protection Act and it obligesus to certain rules and regulations, such as one that states thatsensitive personal confidential data must ONLY be handled bylegally registered party officers. In the South East, theofficial Richard Trower handed a BNP membership list to twopeople who were NOT legally registered officers of the party.This abuse of the rules resulted in complaints from BNP membersas to why their personal details were being handed around likeconfetti at a wedding. Richard Trower and the two others were suspended – after severalwarnings - for abusing what should have been a confidential BNPmembership list. It is hard enough for us to recruit new membersbecause of the list leaks, so we must act strongly against thosewho leak membership lists to people who are not party officials. Likewise in Liverpool, I myself started receiving complaints fromthe PUBLIC as to why their personal details were circulatingamongst those who are not legal officers of the party. When thetime comes and the Information Commissioner asks us why thishappened, we could only escape by saying: “A former official kepthold of his membership list, and used it for non-party purposes.As a consequence, he has been suspended.” Nothing less than thatwould get us off the hook. Again, bugger all to do with supportfor a leadership candidate, just compliance with the DataProtection Act and a desire to keep our membership lists safe andsecure. Anyone who passes a BNP membership list to non-party officerswill be suspended regardless of who they support. Any formerofficials who abuse BNP membership lists for non-party use willbe suspended. If these rules don’t exist and are not enforced,then anarchy will reign and our membership lists will leak outon a regular basis, destroying any credibility to recruit thatwe have. Back to the main purpose of this open letter. I have uncovered ablatant lie about me and feel that I have the right to defendmyself. It is not the first time Mr Butler has attempted todegrade my reputation: he has accused me on many occasions ofrunning the blog Eddy Butler Exposed, something which iscompletely untrue. In any case, Mr Butler has, despite spendingyears attempting to close down BNP blogs and forums around thecountry, set up several blogs and websites of his own (designedand maintained by the traitor Simon Bennett) all spouting hislies and empty promises – it seems when one, just ONE, blog inopposition to his campaign crops up it is a terrible event. It has come to my attention that Eddy Butler has been circulatinga vicious and outrageous lie against me. I received a phone calla short while ago from the long-standing and well-respectedBexley Organiser Mike Jones, who asked me if I had drawn £20,000in expenses in the last 6 months. How I would ever get away withdrawing £3,300 in expenses per month is anyone’s guess! After my laughter at such a ludicrous claim subsided, I repliedthat it was completely untrue and enquired where this nonsensehad come from. Mr Jones replied that he had a call from MichaelBarnbrook who told Mr Jones that he had been told all this byEddy Butler. Mr Jones has confirmed that he is willing to swear to all ofthis, if necessary in a court of law or a party tribunal. MikeJones and Michael Barnbrook are good friends and I have no reasonto disbelieve that any of this is untrue. I doubt very much thatMichael Barnbrook would lie to his good friend Mike Jones, and Ihave no reason to believe that Mike Jones would lie to me. Bothare honourable men and long-standing BNP activists, and MikeJones in particular has been a member for 13 years. If all this is true, then Mr Butler is a disgrace and I demandthat he openly withdraws this allegation against me and publishesa retraction on his website/blog. If, on the other hand, he nowdenies making it, then he should make it crystal clear that herecognises that, whoever was responsible for the allegation, itis totally untrue. I am sorry to have to send this to all Eastern and London regionofficials, but I am incensed by Mr Butler’s lies against me andwant people to know the truth, or at least a different side tothese events for a change. I have been asked by the Eastern Region RO Paul Morris to clearthe air and show everyone in the Eastern Region the dreadedrecording that Mr Butler is making such a huff about. To behonest, I am sick and tired of all this nonsense. I work hardfor the BNP and am perhaps the most active senior member apartfrom the Chairman. I get up in the morning and graft until I goto bed, every bloody day. I have clocked up tens of thousands ofmiles darting around the country. I am a serious and dedicatednationalist through and through. I am not an Eton educated guybut I am no mug, and I am honest. I make no secret of the factthat I am deeply disappointed in Mr Butler for what he has doneand is continuing to do. I am 28 and I have freely chosen thepath of unremitting, relentless service to our cause and ourparty because I want, more than anything, a future for my littlebaby daughter. Make of me what you will. So if you want to listen to the recording of Eddy Butler inquestion then click on the following link. Make of it what youwill. I don’t care to be honest. It is not my recording to startwith, I downloaded it from you-tube.
