I recently wrote a blog article on “Hope Not Hate’s” anti-Englishness (here is the link to that article >>> http://robintilbrook.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/hateful-and-hopeless-hope-not-hates.htm).
I thought that, out of courtesy, I should send a copy to Nick Lowles (in the yellow shirt).
Here is a copy of my email to him:-
“Dear Mr Lowles,
I have mentioned your above article in this blog item and thought that, out of courtesy, I should let you know.
Here is the link >>> http://robintilbrook.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/hateful-and-hopeless-hope-not-hates.html
Do you wish to respond?
Yours sincerely,”
My email elicited this response:-
“How could I not take up your kind offer. I have a lot to say so it’ll be with you in a day or two.”
I would of course be delighted to have the chance of a proper and fair debate on political matters with Nick Lowles. England’s future is paramount to the English Democrats. Attempting to slander the English Democrats by making out we are not civic nationalists will only damage the voice of the working men and women living in England.
To that end I would hereby publish a challenge to him to agree to appear at the Shire Hall, Chelmsford, Essex (near to Chelmsford Police Station), at 12.00 noon on Wednesday, 14th November. If Mr Lowles confirms that he will attend then I will arrange for the media to be invited (as well as Essex Police to ensure that order is kept, knowing the sort of tactics that some of Mr Lowles’ associates get up to!). We want fair and adult debate and we hope that Nick Lowles wants this as well.
So far, unfortunately rather than agree to meet me in debate, Nick Lowles has sought to target a “Hope Not Hate” campaign against the English Democrats’ Mayor of Doncaster, Peter Davies. This seems to be on the grounds of not being a Trade Union supporting, politically correct Labour apparatchik. This is what Nick Lowles says: ““Removing Peter Davies as Mayor of Doncaster is really important. Since being elected he has attacked and undermined trade unions, he has blocked funding for Gay Pride, invited the co-founders of the Campaign Against Political Correctness onto his cabinet to get rid of ‘politically correct non jobs’ and has attacked Black History Month and International Women’s Day.”
The above statement made by Nick Lowles has twisted the facts, used inflammatory words and have a political bias to them. Unfortunately his comments call into question not only his personal integrity but his professional integrity as well. When has challenging, as Peter Davies has done, whether full-time Trade Union officials should be paid for out of taxpayers’ pockets made someone a ‘fascist’ and ‘racist’?
No doubt Mr Lowles’ friends within the hierarchy of Doncaster Labour are well pleased with him. However the interesting thing is that he has implicitly admitted that “Hope Not Hate” are now nothing but more than the Labour Party’s dirty tricks department, rather than a genuine independent campaign against fascism and racism, neither of which allegations could be even remotely pinned on Peter Davies, or indeed on the English Democrats.
We are just as anti-racist as “Hope not Hate” – in fact more so, as it now appears that they are anti-English! Together we have helped bring about the demise of Nick Griffin’s BNP. This might hurt Nick Lowles conceit but the ‘truth’ is simply ‘the truth’.
So the question remains whether Labour’s “gofer” will engage in mature debate or prove himself just a cowardly keyboard warrior? Is Lowles a man or a mouse (sic!)? Or is he just a Labour Party stooge? Perhaps looking for a Westminster seat? Maybe backed by Len McLuskey’s misuse of Unite Union members’ funds to try to improperly gain influence within the Labour Party?
