Published from my patriotic friends at The Bedfordshire Beacon, the following is the preliminary agenda of the Marxist NUJ.These Marxist dictate everything we see and hear in the British media. Is it any wonder Britain accepts communism and censorship so readily?
It's sickening these Trotsky's and Marxist have total control to subvert democracy and do so on a daily basis. The entire agenda is based on communist ideals and political correctness.
Reading this you will see within the first few lines they decide what is and isn't right and they alone decide what is good for us and what is bad and how we should think.
The one saving grace is they don't control the Internet, therefore they cannot control blogs.
The only way to deal with the NUJ is to totally smash the union depriving Marxist control of Britain.
ADM 2009 Preliminary Agenda
Selected motion covering motions 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101 and 102. Tabling bodies of motions covered should now resubmit them if and where necessary as an amendment to the selected motion.
Amendments from other tabling bodies should be made to selected motion only.
94 The election of two BNP members to seats in the European Parliament has created an alarming new threat to union members seeking to uphold the NUJ’s guidelines on race reporting and the union’s conscience clause.
ADM believes the NUJ should support any member acting according to the Code of Conduct and encourage journalists to follow the NUJ Guidelines on Race Reporting.
ADM instructs the NEC to encourage office-based alliances with other trade union members and anti-racist groups, to help inform members and organise industrial action or other protests against BNP propaganda.
ADM further instructs the NEC to organise training sessions to support members’ implementation of the Race Reporting Guidelines, Conscience Clause and the Code of Conduct.
Cost: £2,000 National Executive Council.
95 ADM notes with extreme concern that the BNP has gone from no elected representatives in 1997, to sixteen councillors by 2003, to two MEPs today – representing a party whose aim is ‘restoring the overwhelmingly white makeup of the British population that existed in Britain prior to 1948’.
ADM deplores the racially divisive and incendiary politics of the BNP designed to stir up racial and religious hatred. The British National Party is a racist organisation that stands for an all-white Britain, and its views and beliefs are incompatible with the ethos and purpose of the NUJ.
ADM believes that racism, although in a new form taking culture or religion as its raw materials, continues to be fuelled by hostile political party policies on asylum seekers, immigration and xenophobic headlines in some tabloid newspapers making it easy for Nick Griffin to focus its campaigning on Muslims and asylum seekers.
In particular, New Labour politicians’ repeated use of nationalist rhetoric from the far right such as ‘British jobs for British workers’, or social housing for local people and their insistence on the need for ‘integration’ propelled racial sentiment within disadvantaged communities plagued by poverty and unemployment.
ADM recalls over the last twenty years the NUJ has played a vital role in promoting policies in favour of building a tolerant, multi-cultural society, and in particular in confronting racism in communities.
ADM instructs the NEC to continue working with the BMC in standing up against racism in all its manifestations and to cooperate with anti-racist organisations in their attempts to reverse the rise of the BNP.
Cost: n/a Black Members Council SOC recommends that the following motion is out of order being contrary to Rule 8(w) and Rule 25(a), numbered points 2 and 5.
96 ADM notes the election of two members of the fascist British National Party to the European Parliament marks a turning point in British politics. This is the biggest electoral breakthrough for a fascist party in the UK.
ADM believes that their election threatens to normalise the presence of the BNP in politics.
This ADM believes the BNP is dedicated to an all-white Britain, the destruction of trade unions and the elimination of basic democratic rights.
They organise on the basis of racism, seeking to divide society and their politics of hate and division threaten the freedom and safety of those they would see annihilated – Jews, black people, trade unionists, Muslims and all ethnic minorities, gays and lesbians, disabled people and
anybody who stands for a democratic society.
This ADM fears that the fascists will use their foothold to push their bigotry in the media and whip up race hatred on our streets.
ADM believes that millions of ordinary people do not want to see racism used to divide our society and are totally opposed to the politics of the BNP.
This ADM believes the NUJ should continue to play an active role in helping build as big an anti-fascist movement as possible.
This ADM congratulates the union for initiating debates on how the BNP should be reported and hopes this will continue throughout the union membership.
Campaign roots across the country, in particular in Yorkshire and Humberside and the North West, with the view to building a huge campaign base in advance of the local elections next year.
ADM therefore instructs the NEC to:
- Reiterate the union’s full support for the TUC-backed Unite Against Fascism and other anti-fascists campaigns.
- Give full support to all NUJ members exposing the lies of the BNP and reporting the true nature of their policies.
- Urge all members to join and take part in the activities of the UAF, Love Music Hate Racism and anti-racist events.
- Step up the union’s campaign calling for the withdrawal of BNP advertisements in the media.
- Give full support, including campaigning for industrial action if necessary, to NUJ members sticking to the union’s code of conduct on reporting.
Cost: £2,000 South Yorkshire.
SOC recommends that the following motion is out of order being contrary to Rule 9(a)(ii) – no decision of ADM required.
97 This ADM notes with deep concern the electoral success of the British National Party and other far right politicians.
ADM asserts the need for journalists to use their professionalism and investigative skills when covering the activities of organisations like the British National Party and congratulates NUJ members and bodies that have devised guidance to members on how to undertake such coverage.
ADM notes the NUJ is the union for professional journalists, with a strong code of conduct and commitment to a free press, freedom of speech and expression, which lie at the heart of our democratic society.
ADM calls on the NEC to protect the reputation of the union and individual members by avoiding any endorsement of any groups that adopt tactics such as physical attacks and the disruption of press conferences that can be regarded as attacks on free speech, freedom of expression while robustly campaigning against the BNP and other far right individuals and organisations.
Cost: n/a Cardiff.
SOC recommends that the following motion is out of order, not in accordance with the facts – wrong version of Code of Conduct quoted, see latest version of Rule book on website.
98 ADM notes the BNP’s racist policies are incompatible with the NUJ’s equality policies and the equality duties placed on public bodies such as local authorities. ADM notes article 10 of the union’s code of conduct states:
“No journalist should produce material likely to lead to hatred or discrimination on the grounds of a person’s age, gender, race, colour, creed, legal status, disability, marital status or sexual orientation” and that the conscience clause states: “a journalist has the right to refuse an assignment of editorial that would break the letter or spirit of the law”.
As such, ADM calls on the NEC to again publicise the union’s race reporting guidelines and conscience clause, and fully support any journalist who refuses to work with members of the BNP, including council PR officers working in authorities where BNP members have been elected.
ADM further notes the increasing numbers of journalists appearing on the far right hate website Redwatch and instructs the NEC to campaign for the UK and Irish governments to close down the site immediately.
Cost: £1,000 Press and PR.
SOC recommends that the following motion is out of order being contrary to Rule 9(a)(ii) and is not in accordance with the facts – wrong version of Code of Conduct quoted, see latest version of Rule book on website.
99 ADM notes the BNP’s racist policies are incompatible with the NUJ’s equality policies.
ADM notes article 10 of the union’s Code of Conduct states:
“No journalist should produce material likely to lead to hatred or discrimination on the grounds of a person’s age, gender, race, colour, creed, legal status, disability, marital status or sexual orientation” and that the Conscience Clause states: “a journalist has the right to refuse an assignment of editorial that would break the letter or spirit of the law”.
As such, ADM calls on the union to fully support any journalist who refuses to work with members of the BNP.
ADM further notes the increasing numbers of journalists appearing on the far right hate website Redwatch and calls on the government to close down the site immediately.
Cost: n/a Gloucestershire.
SOC recommends that the following motion is out of order being contrary to Rule 9(a)(ii) – no decision of ADM required.
100 ADM notes:
- The increasing tendency for sections of the media to report BNP members and activities in the same way they cover mainstream politicians and political parties.
- The BNP is a fascist party that dons the trappings of democracy in order to attain positions of power from which it can destroy it.
- That wherever, and whenever, the BNP has won local council positions, levels of racist attacks have multiplied up to four-fold.
- The courage of those journalists who, despite threats to their own safety and that of their close friends and family, have systematically exposed BNP members as racist, holocaust denying
- thugs.
- That local authority press officers will be under enormous pressure to cooperate with elected BNP councillors.
- The BNP is a major threat to all ethnic minorities.
- If the BNP is allowed to grow, it will become a major threat to all democratic institutions and press freedom.
- Unite Against Fascism, Searchlight and other anti-racist/antifascist organisations, are campaigning to combat the rise of the BNP.
- Give wholehearted backing to every journalist who exposes BNP thuggery.
- Back members who refuse to allow BNP members to use their publication or TV/radio channel as a platform to either masquerade as mainstream politicians or broadcast racist bigotry.
- Organise support for any local authority press officer who refuses to cooperate with BNP councillors. This support should be as wide as possible and include protests and demonstrations by NUJ members, council workers, trade unionists, anti racists and anti fascists. Where possible, it should include industrial action
- Encourage NUJ members in local authorities where BNP members have been elected to wear anti-Nazi badges while in their offices.
- Encourage members to participate in anti-fascist activities organised by UAF, Searchlight and other anti-racist/anti-fascist organisations.
Cost: n/a London Magazine.
SOC recommends that the following motion is out of order being incapable of implementation, final para, cannot ensure no single journalist.
101 ADM applauds the initiative of the Manchester office in organising a training day for regional
press members, on reporting on the BNP, allowing members in particular to learn from the substantial experience built up by journalists at the Yorkshire Evening Post and other northern titles.
ADM recognises that the media has a responsibility to expose the racist nature of the BNP and its links to fascism and thuggery, but it also has a responsibility to try to engage not only the converted but also those the BNP sees as its constituency.
This means local journalists should endeavour to expose and counter the lies propagated by their mayors, councillors and local parties, in their efforts to blame ethnic minorities and migrants for housing shortages and lack of job opportunities in the area, and to question what BNP policies can offer working people, many of whom have suffered from a decade of a widening income gap and systematic under investment in local communities, including social housing together with the current economic and cultural policies that promote segregation and the increase use of cheap, vulnerable, non-unionised agency workers.
ADM recognises that the NUJ has a collective duty to do everything in its powers to protect its members and their families who face threats because of the way they cover the BNP.
It instructs the NEC to work with chapels to ensure that no single journalist on any one title has to bear the brunt of covering the BNP, and that editors take responsibility for the protecting their staff should they face threats arising from their coverage.
Cost: £1,000 Oxford and District.
102 This ADM believes that vital investigative work such as reporting and exposing the nature of far-right, racist and fascist groups such as the BNP is undermined by the constant budget reductions and job losses which affect wide sections of the media industry.
ADM condemns the continual cuts in budgets and staffing levels which are seriously affecting and undermining the ability of journalists to do their jobs.
This ADM calls upon the NEC to continue the Journalism Matters campaign and to highlight the dangers to political and cultural life of continuing cuts to editorial budgets and the political dangers of relying on the hard-pressed, immediate single-source reports from PA.
Cost: £1,000 Leeds.
SOC recommends that the following motion is out of order being contrary to Rule 8(w), cannot instruct the NEC to give legal support.
103 This ADM notes with concern the election of BNP members to local authorities in the UK and the election of the English Democrat directly elected Mayor Peter Davies in Doncaster.
ADM recognises the BNP as a racist, sexist and fascist party and also deplores the xenophobic and bigoted policies advocated by Peter Davies which includes withdrawing council translation services and scrapping so called politically correct jobs, such as diversity officers.
ADM reaffirms its commitment to diversity and equality and instructs the NEC to give legal and political support to local government press officers who exercise a conscientious objection to promoting policies which would lead to discrimination and breach the NUJ’s Code of Conduct.
Cost: n/a Manchester.
Selected motion covering motions 105 and 106.
Tabling bodies of motions covered should now resubmit them if and where necessary as an amendment to the selected motion.
Amendments from other tabling bodies should be made to selected motion only.
104 This ADM notes that the slogan “British Jobs for British Workers” that has been taken up by sections of the trade union movement.
This ADM believes that the slogan is divisive since it necessarily pits British workers against those from other countries, weakening both in their common struggle against the employers.
This ADM instructs the NEC to campaign on this issue within the TUC.
Cost: n/a London Magazine.
105 This ADM notes:
- The slogan “British Jobs for British Workers” that has been taken up by sections of the trade union movement.
- That the BNP has adopted the slogan as the basis for much of its propaganda.
- That the slogan is divisive since it necessarily pits British workers against those from other countries, weakening both in their common struggle against employers.
- That it can easily be adopted by the BNP and other fascist and racist organisations.
This ADM instructs the NEC to earmark this issue for wider discussion in the TUC at the earliest opportunity.
Cost: n/a R BI Chapel.
SOC recommends that the following motion is out of order, not in accordance with the facts – what guidelines exist?
106This ADM condemns the attempts by the media to portray the industrial dispute by the workers at the Lindsey Oil Refinery as “British Jobs for British Workers”.
The dispute was, in fact, over the defence of national agreements and established terms and conditions.
ADM recognises that this media distortion was a deliberate distortion in an attempt to divide workers in struggle on national lines.
ADM instructs the NEC to work with the Ethics Council to prepare strengthened guidelines for members on how to properly report on industrial disputes and ensure that the trade union case is clearly put.
Cost: £1,000 London Central.
