Normally we hear reports of daft decisions by
the European Court of Human Rights (often made even more apparently daft by the
biased way in which they are reported!). Incidentally I notice that the way the
latest lunacy is reported by our media is usually highly demotivating because we
very rarely get any message other than we are “powerless to do anything about
it”. Whereas, of course, in fact, if we had the political will to do anything
about it then we certainly could do so.
So, in a way this story is a good instance of an apparently powerless individual achieving a great victory by sheer determination and willpower. This is the story of Mr Arthur Redfearn’s fight for justice. Mr Redfearn having been considered to be a first class employee, as soon as it became known that he was standing as a council candidate for the BNP, found himself fired on the utterly spurious grounds of Health and Safety (in that somebody protesting about him might injure themselves!).
Mr Redfearn had mixed fortunes before the English legal system. He lost before the Employment Tribunal, I think on the basis that his lawyers failed to challenge the ludicrous Health and Safety argument of his erstwhile employer Serco. He then succeeded in the Employment Appeal Tribunal arguing that he had been racially discriminated against and his Rights of Freedom of expression under Article 10 and of Association under Article 11 of the European Convention of Human Rights had been infringed. He then lost before the Court of Appeal but then took his case to the European Court of Human Rights and on the 6th November, one day after fireworks day, the European Court of Human Rights delivered a bombshell Judgment in which they upheld his right to Freedom of Association and held that right should have trumped all other considerations in a finding of unfair dismissal.
Article 10 and 11 of the European Convention of Human Rights reads as follows:-
Article 101. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This Article shall not prevent states from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.
2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.
Article 11
1. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to freedom of association with others, including the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests.
2. No restrictions shall be placed on the exercise of these rights other than such as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others. This Article shall not prevent the imposition of lawful restrictions on the exercise of these rights by members of the armed forces, of the police or of the administration of the State.”
This Judgment is a great credit to the tenacity of Mr Redfearn, but is also an excellent legal principle which will help anyone who is a member of any Party or any Association which our currently politically correct masters disapprove of.
All parts of the State, including the National Health Service, Police, etc., now must not discriminate against people because of membership of politically incorrect Associations. Any breach of this requirement will attract an award of damages - if the victim sues. I would naturally urge any such victim to do so! So much for us all being powerless to make a change!

Excellent result, I hope he will sue the previous court for hundreds of thousands.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the enemy are not going to take any notice even though they know
the end result of their persecution will end in aquittal. The point for them is that
entangling citizens in all this rubbish occupies their time and intimidates and holds up nationalist progress. Meanwhile the demographic tsunami is soon to appear on the horizon.
Very surprised to read this judgement in view of the usually politically correct stance of the ECHR.
DeleteAs regards the demographic tsunami, the recent American presidential elections have informed us that the death of white America is imminent. The days of European expansionism are over and Europeans are in retreat, about to be crushed by overbreeding in the third world; be it from Central and South America, Africa, the Indian Sub-continent, the West Indies, North Africa, Indonesia or the Middle East. The Japanese who refuse to allow mass immigration are going to be extinct in a thousand years, well that is probably nine hundred years more than most Europeans.
Children of European descent are now in the minority in America and Pat Buchanan has warned us that Europe is next. White Americans will be outbred by 2040, the indigenous British by 2066, the indigenous English probably before that, the indigenous French by 2050. Further ahead are probably Sweden and Norway, heading for muslim majorities, with Holland and Belgium not far behind.
In America, 20 states of the 50 have launched petitions to secede from the Union and the split along racial lines is already in progress. Armed as they are, white Americans will probably opt for civil war. Most Europeans are unarmed but confrontation cannot be far down the line as a demographic tipping point is reached.
The question is, what are our shortsighted and cerebrally challenged leaders going to do as they remain in denial and continue with their foolish exercise in social engineering. As Roger Scruton has said, it will fail as communism failed and any other utopian movement which denies human nature.
