Razor Hd Gen Ii-E Scope 1-6x24mm Vmr-2 Mrad Reticle Vortex Optics.
Product Description
Ideal Feature Set for Close-to-Medium Range Tactical/Competition Shooting
A top-tier scope for the AR platform, this version of Vortex's 1-6x24 Razor HD Gen II-E sheds 4 oz. from the weight of earlier HD Gen II models, making it even lighter and more suitable for operation atop a lightweight Modern Sporting Rifle.
This Razor HD Gen II-E model has the Vortex VMR-2 MRAD reticle, which is impressively accurate in short- to medium-range engagements. The VMR-2 is a hashmarked ranging reticle with an illuminated center dot that uses MRAD-based subtension lines for ranging, holdover, and windage corrections. MRAD is a highly precise unit of measurement often used by military and law enforcement precision shooters. For reference, there are 6,283 MRADs in a circle! We also offer this exact scope with the same VMR-2 reticle graduated in MOA (#100-030-004).
The daylight-bright illuminated center dot gives the shooter red dot sight functionality at close-quarters, yet can land precise distance shots out to 600 yards. Don't worry: the left-side mounted control knob gives you 11 levels of reticle brightness to choose from, with "off" stops in between.
Of course, the VMR-2 MRAD reticle would do little good if it weren't mated with Vortex's superb glass. Each 1-6x24 Razor HD Gen II-E scope has premium indexed HD optics that deliver the edge-to-edge sharpness and stunning image quality. XR Plus anti-reflective coatings increase light transmission for amazing image brightness, too.
- Fast target acquisition - forgiving eye-box & not finicky about eye relief
- Zero resettable turrets offer a lot of adjustment per turn
- 43 MRAD windage/elevation adjustment range in 0.2 MRAD clicks
- 30mm tube for extra internal windage/elevation range
- Low-profile windage and elevation turrets with non-slip knurled caps
- Single-spring elevation adjustment turret
- Second focal plane reticle
- Available with a one-piece mount - see below
The 1-6x24 Razor HD Gen II-E has Vortex's ultra-hard ArmorTek coating to protect the exterior lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt. The scope body is O-ringed sealed and Argon purged for waterproof and fogproof performance in any weather.
We offer this 1-6x24 Razor HD Gen II-E alone or packed in a kit with the sturdy, dependable Brownells 30mm AR-Style Rifle Cantilever Mount that clamps directly to a flattop receiver Picatinny rail. This one-piece mount provides a secure, non-slip foundation for your Razor HD that helps you take advantage of the scope's full accuracy potential.
B.e.a.s.t. 5-25x56mm F1 Riflescopes Nightforce.
Product Description
There has never been a riflescope like the B.E.A.S.T.™ Extraordinary light transmission. One-turn, 60 MOA elevation capability that meets or exceeds the effective range of any known cartridge,at extreme ranges. There are plenty of high-magnification variable power riflescopes on the market. But, magnification without extreme resolving power, razor-sharp clarity and superb contrast— even in dismal light—is of no value.
- XtremeSpeed™ adjustments provide 60 MOA (20 MilRadians) of elevation instantly in a single rotation
- Unique i4F™ intelligent four-function elevation control
- DigIllum™ digital illumination-externally controlled
- Proprietary 360o brake control allows you to instantly secure your elevation adjustments
- ZeroStop™ standard
- Available in MOA or Mil-Radian adjustments
The B.E.A.S.T.™ achieves 90%+ light transmission— approaching the maximum limit of what is physically possible.
There is no such thing as 100% light transmission in a riflescope. Only a handful of riflescopes in the world have ever topped the 90% figure, and the human eye can distinguish differences
of approximately 3%. At first or last light, the B.E.A.S.T.™ can make the difference between a precise shot—or no shot at all.

Beast 5-25x56mm Scope Zerostop F1 Digillum H59 Reticle Nightforce.
Product Description
Why is the most advanced riflescope on the market today called the B.E.A.S.T.™? It has nothing to do with size, weight, or appearance. Nightforce's engineers were asked to do what was thought impossible…to create a riflescope the likes of which had never been built before. To invent radical new technologies that solve old problems inherent to competitor's products. And to include capabilities and features that for years had been nothing but pipe dreams. Cut no corners, they were told. Not on materials, on quality, on workmanship, on durability. Conceive the ultimate riflescope, they asked them. Then build it. It was a challenge so demanding, so taxing, at times so overwhelming, that the concept became known as "a beast," both for the difficulties it presented and for the times when it seemed they had created a monster. When they succeeded, and it came time to give the newest Nightforce riflescope a name, nothing else seemed appropriate. "But we can't call a riflescope a '"beast,'" some folks said. What does that stand for? What will customers think? They'll think it stands for "Best Example of Advanced Scope Technology." Because that's what it is.

Grace Under Siege

LIKE A MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER or a couch in the locker room at halftime., Paul addresses the Corinthian believers as a friend, a mentor, and a apostle. At a point where others trying to manipulate them as a sect of Judaism, denying the gospel of grace, Paul's passion and zeal are more apparent in this book than in any of his other writings.
Today, the struggle is not for Christianity to be unique from Judaism, but to be unique among the melting pot of religions in the world. And that which set us apart, the grace of God to send His Son to die on the cross, has never been more under siege.
Paul had declared the truths of the gospel, but others came to Corinth after him and sough to undermine all he had tough. The Christians in Jerusalem were in dire need of help. The false teachers were claiming that Paul was not even an apostle. Rumors and half-truths were common rhetoric. In order to defend the truth, Paul had to defend the call God had placed upon him, and all the things that call had led him to endure. Dan Mitchell brings Paul's word into focus challenge every believer to defend the truth, to care for those in need, and to work together in unity to accomplish the goal of presenting Christ to a dying needy world.

Alopecia is the term given to the unusual loss of hair. The most frequent causes of hair loss in prairie dogs include injury due to rubbing or prickling of fur on wire cages; poor nutrition; and skin parasites such as fleas, lice, ticks, and parasitic fungi that affect the skin, hair, or nails.
There are a variety of causes for alopecia in prairie dogs, including:
Your veterinarian may easily diagnose alopecia by observing the prairie dog's clinical signs. Identifying the underlying cause of the alopecia, however, may involve blood tests and microscopic skin scraping examinations to rule out nutritional disorders and ectoparasitic infestations, respectively. Examining a sample of your pet's hair under a Wood's lamp can also be useful in detecting fungal infections.
Any type of arachnid excluding ticks
Small, wingless insects that live as parasites on humans and some animals

European Champions Cup
Burgess to make first Bath start

Sam Burgess will make his first start for Bath since converting to rugby league in this Friday's European Champions Cup clash against Montpellier at the Rec.
South Africa international flanker Francois Louw will also return from injury to start against Montpellier following surgery.
Burgess will start at inside centre, where he appeared off the bench in the Premiership clash with Harlequins and in Montpellier over the last two Fridays. He replaces Kyle Eastmond, who is rested.
"Sam Burgess will get his first start and Francois Louw will also come into the 15 too," said bath coach Toby Booth. "Sam has progressed well and is improving all the time. He's put in a hug effort on the training field and we always said we were going to centre his learning what happens at the ruck, and we're delighted with how he's come on in that regard.
"There will be more focus on and pressure on him this week but it's not just about Sam, it's about what's best for Bath Rugby. It's important to give him opportunities and get him involved in situations but this also gives us a chance to give people like Kyle Eastmond and Jonathan Joseph a bit of a breather because they've played a lot of rugby for us this year and been outstanding pretty much all the way though."
Louw picked up a neck injury which required surgery playing for South Africa in the Rugby Championship and has not played for Bath this season.
"Flow has been training for number of weeks and it was just a case of making sure we have everything right with him," added Booth. "It was something we didn't want to rush and it's about consulting with the right people and making sure the player is confident to play. He is itching to get back out there and I'm sure people are itching to see him again too."

A comfy pair of underwear is essential, but really? Are granny panties the new must-have? Well, according to Rihanna, Lady Gaga and HerRoom.com shoppers, they are. The pop stars wear them with no shame (alone), and Bali's Skimp Skamp Brief won favorite panty in HerRoom's 2010 Undie Awards. Even hipster brand American Apparel released a jersey pair with spandex that we actually laughed about when they showed up in our office.
So take your pick. You can have American Apparel's Cotton Spandex Jersey High-Waist Brief ($18), or Bali's award winning Skimp Skamp Brief ($9, or 3 for $24) that's made of nylon and spandex.
The granny panty might just be the answer to no panty lines or annoying wedgies, and in that case, we get why they're the panty to buy. We just suggest you wear them under clothes, not as pants, and make sure they aren't visible because that's not cool.

Gearbox CCO: Homeworld "Meant Something to Me"
Pages 1 2 NEXT
Gearbox CCO: Homeworld "Meant Something to Me"
Speaking at PAX Australia Gearbox's Brian Martel discussed his love for Homeworld and drive to acquire its rights.
Borderlands developer Gearbox turned some heads among the real-time strategy crowd when it purchased the Homeworld IP during the auction that effectively ended THQ. Those heads about spun in a circle when Gearbox announced it would be giving Homeworld and its sequel Homeworld 2 a new lease on life with HD re-releases. Speaking about the franchise at PAX Australia, Gearbox's chief creative office Brian Martel discussed his personal connection to the series and how it helped drive Gearbox to revive the property.
"[Homeworld] is one of those games that for me sort of moved me as brand. I was impressed with the story and it had some of the best spaceships that I have ever seen, outside of Star Wars," said Martel. In turn, the franchise's dormancy following the 2003 release of Homeworld 2 was something that bothered him. "I really thought that we should get it out there for the rest of the world. And a lot of folks haven't had a chance to play it, it has only been on DVD or CD, it has not ever been released digitally." When it became apparent that THQ was going under and its assets would be up for grabs Martel pushed for Gearbox to acquire it. "When THQ started to evaporate, Brian [Martel] kept coming to my office everyday and saying, 'Hey Randy, you got to get Homeworld,'" commented Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford. "So we became part of that process bidding on the brand."
Gearbox would beat out publishers including Aspyr Media and Paradox Interactive in the bidding for Homeworld and now, with the studio's plans to polish the games for modern audiences, stands to rekindle the dreams of countless fans who have been pining after the franchise since Homeworld 2. We can only hope the HD releases find success and perhaps make further Homeworlds a viable possibility rather than the unlikely dream they've seemed for close to a decade.
Source: Polygon
That's interesting, it'll be a good chance to try out the franchise. I wish you luck Gearbox.
EDIT: People are never going to let Gearbox forget Colonial Marines are they?
Didn't Aliens "mean something" to Gearbox too?
Dammit Gearbox, don't get my hope up for the third time...
captcha: she's a witch
That's exactly what I thought when I read this. I seem to remember several of their staff members talking about how Aliens is one of their favourite franchises, etc, so perhaps it isn't particularly good news that they are saying the same about Homeworld.
Watch out folks. Randy admitted they were working on a new IP. So i would keep those excitement levels on low.
Maybe this something is money.
Homeworld meant money to me.
Aliens meant money to me.
Well looks legit :)
I was going to say the same thing. Clearly great minds think a like.
Okay, I'm keeping my hopes up for a decent game. That hope is based on the assumption that Gearbox was right, and that the shitstains that were Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens Colonial Marines really were to blame on the previous developers. Which means I'll buy it AFTER it has been reviewed properly.
I would very much like a HD remake of Homeworld 1. I can't get that one to run anymore with a decent resolution and something other than the D3D graphics option, which makes it look uglier than it used to be. I was always of the opinion that Homeworld 2 had the better controls and graphics, while Homeworld 1 had the superior story. So, copy Homeworld 1's story, slot in Homeworld 2's controls, and add some new shiny graphics, and I'll fork over the cash.
HW2... eh, dunno if it needs an HD release. The original still looks and plays good, and unless you're going to rewrite the whole story, I don't see the point. I'd prefer a Homeworld 1 HD remake, then a Homeworld 3.
Honestly, I'm disappointed that Paradox Interactive didn't get it. They know how to make a great strategy game.
One would hope that if all they're doing is an HD re release of it, there isn't really room to screw the game up since they should just be making it prettier.
As much as I would have loved Paradox to get it... there is part of me that would be almost leery of them making a HW game. Can you imagine what a Paradox style tech screen (ala, their Hearts of Iron series) would be like in Homeworld? Terrifying.
But at least they would give us a massive galactic map with like 6000 sectors to fight across.
I think HoI 3 has a rather nice research section.
The only thing that annoys me is that you have to research cavalry and militia armament separately from regular infantry armament.
Nope. That was a huge sleazy scam towards Sega and the consumers.
What about homeworld cataclysm? Will they get around to that too? That was by far my favorite game in the franchise.
I'm still cautiously positive about this. And whatever they do, they can't screw with my current Homeworld experience. *hugs Homeworld 1 and 2 discs*
Hopefully it turns out well cause this well be my first time experiencing Homeworld.
I envy you, I'm now seriously regretting looking at HW 1 at my local Walmart years ago and dismissing it as another game I wouldn't like....... Damn what could have been and i was almost considering on getting it too.
I find it a bit unsettling that you might think people should let them forget.
Eh...I dunno. I guess I just don't understand why this game, of all the bad games out there, is getting the most hate. I mean, people don't get on Capcom for Steel Battalion Heavy Armor, and that didn't even work.
That and I know that Gearbox can make good games, and I think that they'd be able to pull this off well. There's getting on a developer for messing up, and then there's never letting a screw up go, even after they release something good after, proving that they can still make quality work.
And that is why. You answered it yourself. Gearbox can make good games, I purchased Borderlands 2 plus two of the DLC on the steam sale and I'm loving it so far.
It's the same reason people blew their stacks over ME3. What I think people don't understand is that all that rage over ME3 wasn't specifically over that particular game. It was due to Bioware disappointing so many people as developers. For many people, DA2 was a sign, but they waved it off as a fluke. Then ToR happened, "hey now, it's Bioware's first time doing and MMO, everything is still okay right? ... right?" Then ME3 happened and it finally hit people that, for many, the Bioware they knew and loved was gone. For so many people, Bioware was the main reason they kept gaming, to see them screw up like that sucked, they got burned. Now gamers, especially on forums like this, are cautious at best, and overly caustic and pessimistic at worst. And what sucks is Bioware can also do better! Or, they could have done better...
I think they'll do a good job here too, honestly. But I don't think people should throw money at it right away or expect the world from Gearbox.
Yeah, but the thing here is that after Colonial Marines, Gearbox DID release something that was pretty damn awesome. Tiny Tina's assault on Dragon's Keep.
That was one of the DLC I bought. Can't wait to play it!
I guess that's the thing that kinda bugs me. Unlike Bioware, I see evidence that Gearbox still cares about making good stuff. I guess I kinda feel sorry for them.
I get that. I feel sorry for some of them. Pitchford really fucked up with ACM though, that isn't going away anytime soon. I get the feeling that this dude who urged them to by Homeworld is one of the good guys. I'll probably pick up the HD versions when they come out, especially the first one.
Also, while I might not agree with his attitude toward some things in gaming, Anthony Burch seems to be pretty good at writing. I'm liking the story in BL2 so far.
People just need to be cautious is all.
I don't think they own the rights for Cataclysm which I believe are still in the hands of Sierra (Now owned by Activision and in limbo). I quite liked Cataclysm, may have been a bit of a spin off but it was damned good fun in it's own way.
Perhaps if HW/2 sells well enough, it will convince Activision to either sell the rights to GBX or do their own HD or original re-release.
What's the point? You're always so far away from the action (which is also a total clusterfuck of fighters, lasers and propulsion trails) it really doesn't matter what the graphics look like up close. Maybe add some nicer backdrops, but even that's pointless, HW is purposefully bleak for the most part.
I'm glad someone is doing something with the Homeworld franchise. However, given the simplistic elegance of the graphics, I don't think an HD make over is the right course of action. I guess if they are going to get it out there as a digital download they might as well HD it. I hope that all of this lead to HW3.
Yeah. Gearbox are fairly good devs and, if you measure their successes (Borderlands) against their failures (Duke Nukem Forever, Colonial Marines), it's easy to see that they ARE capable of making good games.
And yeah, it's just a HD rerelease. What are they gonna do? Have someone spout lame one-liners and rag on modern games?
Bit once, twice shy.
That's how I felt, Paradox makes some great games and strategy is right up their ally. Ah well, if Gearbox screws this one up there will be no excuse period. Seems like a very strange combination.
I'm upset that Relic didn't get to hold onto it. I am amazed that THQ had been sitting on this license for so long, and they never gave the original developer the chance to continue making sequels.
While I agree that some of the complaints were bickering, the fact is that Gearbox did commit fraud and they did try and trick the gaming community and Sega. It wasn't what ACM did that cause the massive backlash, it's what it stood for, the disregard for customer satisfaction and the intentional misleading to make a sale at any cost. It made EA look good at one point which frankly is saying something from a dev that alot of players respected and trusted. I know that it'll be a long time before I open my wallet to them again.
While they might not be able to re-release HW:Cataclysm due to the whole IP rights mess, there's nothing stopping them from making a new game in the franchise that looks and feels like it. It's not like remodeling the mothership or making a new plot is forbidden by IP restrictions, and the rest of the game was pretty much the same as the original homeworld.
fingers crossed!
Though I am also disappointed with Gearbox with their latest scam. "Season Pass" - They never mentioned when the season pass ended. So now they release more DLC that is not under the "Season Pass" and people have to pay for it. Wasn't the entire point of a "Season Pass" to DLC so people wouldn't have to buy things separate?
Gearbox, please please please find a way to get the rights to Homeworld: Cataclysm. By far my favorite of the games in the series. To me, the Beast remains one of the best and creepiest factions ever made in a RTS game, they make the Zerg seem like teddy bears.
oh god yes, the screams of your pilots as the beast over rides control and uses their still living bodies as fodder for shipcancer, just fills you with that dread that you have lost one or several ships that will soon return to you changed irrevocably(until you research that cleansing trait). the general chatter in HW:C was just delicious as well, each voice was perfect for it's role, the haggard and frazzeled sounding processor pilot and the recon drone, the mimic, hell even the captain of the Kuun-Lan. I also love the progression in ship design from one game to the next The destroyers in HW2 look like seafaring battle ships, and the Battle cruisers look like huge submarines

An Australian team led by UNSW's Professor Mike Archer has succeeded in growing early stage cloned embryos containing the DNA of an extinct frog.
The research is the first vital step in Project Lazarus, a "de-extinction" project aimed at bringing the Australian gastric-brooding frog back to life.
The bizarre frog, Rheobatrachus silus – which uniquely swallowed its eggs, brooded its young in its stomach and gave birth through its mouth - became extinct in 1983.
The team has been able to recover cell nuclei from tissues collected in the 1970s and kept for 30 years in a conventional deep freezer.
In repeated experiments over five years, the researchers used a laboratory technique known as somatic cell nuclear transfer. They took fresh donor eggs from the distantly related Great Barred Frog, Mixophyes fasciolatus, inactivated the egg nuclei and replaced them with the dead nuclei from the extinct frog. Some of the eggs spontaneously began to divide and grow to early embryo stage – a tiny ball of many living cells.
Although none of the embryos survived beyond a few days, genetic tests confirmed that the dividing cells contain the genetic material from the extinct frog.
The results are yet to be published.
"We are watching Lazarus arise from the dead, step by exciting step," says Professor Archer, of the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. "We've reactivated dead cells into living ones and revived the extinct frog's genome in the process. Now we have fresh cryo-preserved cells of the extinct frog to use in future cloning experiments.
"We're increasingly confident that the hurdles ahead are technological and not biological and that we will succeed. Importantly, we've demonstrated already the great promise this technology has as a conservation tool when hundreds of the world's amphibian species are in catastrophic decline."
The technical work was led by Dr Andrew French and Dr Jitong Guo, formerly of Monash University, in a University of Newcastle laboratory led by frog expert, Professor Michael Mahony, along with Mr Simon Clulow and Dr John Clulow. The frozen specimens were preserved and provided by Professor Mike Tyler, of the University of Adelaide, who extensively studied both species of gastric-brooding frog – R. silus and R. vitellinus - before they vanished in the wild in 1979 and 1985 respectively.
Professor Archer spoke publicly for the first time today about the Lazarus Project and also about his ongoing interest in cloning the extinct Australian thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, at the TEDx DeExtinction event in Washington DC, hosted by Revive and Restore and the National Geographic Society, on March 15.
Researchers from around the world had gathered there to discuss progress and plans to 'de-extinct' other extinct animals and plants. Possible candidate species include the woolly mammoth, dodo, Cuban red macaw and New Zealand's giant moa.

Shown Here:
Introduced in House (02/02/2012)
Emergency Medic Transition Act of 2012 or the EMT Act of 2012 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a program of awarding grants to states to assist veterans who received and completed military emergency medical training while serving in the United States Armed Forces to become, upon their discharge or release from active duty service, state-licensed or certified emergency medical technicians. Allows such funds to be used to: (1) provide such veterans required course work and training (that takes into account, and is not duplicative of, medical course work and training already received) to satisfy emergency medical services personnel certification requirements in the civilian sector; (2) provide reimbursement for costs associated with such course work and training and with applying for licensure or certification; (3) expedite the licensing or certification process; and (4) enter into an agreement with an educational institution to provide course work and training under this Act. Requires a state, to be eligible for a grant under this Act, to demonstrate that it has a shortage of emergency medical technicians.
Directs the Comptroller General to: (1) study the barriers experienced by such veterans seeking to become licensed or certified in a state as civilian health professionals; and (2) report on the results of such study, including recommendations on whether the program under this Act should be expanded to assist veterans seeking to become licensed or certified in a state as health providers other than emergency medical technicians.

A year since the local elections, where two BNP councillors gained seats from long standing Labour councillors in the Rotherham Borough. John Gamble took the Brinsworth and Catcliffe seat from the Mayor of Rotherham and William Blair, Maltby, from long standing Labour councillor Glynn Robinson. Headlines then were "Labour Disaster", "Damning Indictment", "Shock Results Outcry at BNP".
I have recently commented that then, there was debate about how BNP policies might affect Rotherham and that concerns were shown by many. So, almost a year to the day, I again went to interview Cllr Will Blair at his home in Maltby, where his pigeons still flutter in their lofts in the garden and his poodles still seek attention around visitor's legs. Previously, I had asked him if I could quote directly from a list of BNP policies. This time I asked him if I could put questions from residents of Maltby directly to him. His answer was the same "Ask me anything you want - I am here to help the people of Maltby and Rotherham and to try make it a better place to live".
We began by discussing the everyday type things that Will Blair has done for the local community – funding football clubs, Christmas parcels for the elderly, an Easter Egg Hunt, supporting local artists, schools and a dance club. Then there's the less obvious things which Will says only came about through people asking him personally to get sorted – drains, street lighting, the cemetery cleaned up and taps put in, trees and hedges maintained in streets and parks that might not otherwise have been done. He believes in encouraging people to report things of concern to him and people do, he says. He is a member of RMBC's "Sustainable Communities" scrutiny panel and also "Adult Services and Health". This work involves him in research on diabetes, which he enjoys because it brings him into contact with ordinary people.
But Cllr Blair is elected as a Borough Councillor representing the British National Party, a name which has for a number of reasons, become synonymous with racism and even fascism. More than seventy religious leaders from across a range of faiths in South Yorkshire have recently publicly urged people to shun the BNP in next month's elections. How can the politics of such a party support and improve things for the people of Rotherham? How much influence does the BNP have on this councillor's day to day business?
"Being in the BNP, you have to do better than the rest, to prove that you can make a difference. Labour have done nothing. Many Labour councillors have been in the job so long, used to doing nothing for so long, that they don't want to do anything. When a new party comes along it has to promote itself and make it acceptable to the people. When people see this happening and that the party is doing what they were elected to do, they will be voted in again. Voted in on their policies, not on what colour tie they wear."
Will Blair insists that the BNP is neither racist nor fascist. He says that the party stands up for British people and that in fact he is not influenced by their policies.
"The BNP do not dictate what I do. I must serve the people of Rotherham and work for Rotherham Borough Council to the best of my abilities. The BNP can advise, but it is the people who will decide. The BNP listen because their members have studied at the University of Life. We need a government who really knows what people want; a government of ordinary working class people."
He cites many occasions when he has personally helped families who have had racial problems and tells me again that he has no qualms whatsoever about mixed marriages. What he is concerned about is people who he says come to Britain "looking for work" instead of "coming to work".
"Polish workers, for example", says Blair, "might come here and work for £150 a week. This is not enough for them to live on and so their earnings are topped up by benefits. Yes, the benefits system is wrong, but we should not have to pay out of our taxes for people who are not born here. If they come here then they must be able to support themselves and their families without help from the state".
I have to ask at this point about the Ghurkas. Should they be allowed settlement in Britain ?
"Absolutely, no question about that" is the reply.
Based on what they have done for this country during the war?
"Yes. Those people gave a lot to Britain and we should give back to them".
I am still not clear, since our talk last year, of how the BNP decides on who to allow to stay in Britain and who must either not be let in or sent back to their "own" country. I am still not clear on whether I am "indigenous" or not – I am sure my ancestors came from either Scandinavia or Europe. How many generations do we go back before we can live here under BNP policy?
Will Blair does not believe that this is an issue.
He believes that the only thing that the BNP are guilty of is standing up for the British people – that's the people who have come here to build it up and carry it forward.
"People came to this country after the war and helped to build it up again. They and their families have as much right to live here as anyone. People came from Poland, from India, from Pakistan and worked in the woollens mills – they made their homes here. We can't tell them that the mills are closed now so they have to go.
But, like any other nation, we can not afford to have people who take up houses and give nothing back. At the moment this country is saturated."
So where do we draw the line?
"You have to draw the line when the people who are coming change the British way of life. "
And is this happening ?
We discuss the comments of Labour MP Shahid Malik at the "Global Peace and Unity" conference. Malik stated that Britain will be an Islamic state with a Muslim Prime Minister within the next thirty years and is clearly in favour of this. The BNP are not. Is this not racist, then?
"No, it's not racist. If we had an Islamic state there would be Islamic law. This can not be right for Britain." No one needs to explain to me (married to a Palestinian, now a British citizen) the ins and outs of Sharia law or the implications of an Islamic state. But whether this would actually happen without the input of the BNP is debatable.
I ask what can be said about former colleague, Cllr John Gamble, ejected recently from the BNP.
"Basically, he broke the rules and did not do his job properly. If that is the case, then you have to go, which is what happened".
The situation within Maltby Town Council ? This has to be asked, as it is his home town and the place where he runs his business.
"When the police are called to a Town Council meeting, there is something wrong. When the council is not representing the views of the people, there's something wrong. Maltby people are not being represented well by the people they voted for, so it should be closed down."
No one could accuse Will Blair of not getting straight to the point.
The proposals to turn Maltby Community School into an academy trust ?
"There has not been enough public consultation. Further consultation needs to be done to make sure it is what the residents of Maltby want."
And finally, would you stand in the next General Election and how do you think you would fare?
"Yes", he says, "I would stand, and it would be up to the people to decide if what I represent is what they want."
How do we know you wouldn't then turn into the type of person that is power crazy?
"I wouldn't", he says simply, "because that's just not me".
Cllr Will Blair seems to be a "man of the people". He wants people to know that what he does now is what he has always done, not just because he is a councillor. But with the backing of his party, he believes that he has the support to give Rotherham what it needs and deserves. he appears to be a thoroughly "decent" man.
But I still can not marry up his views with the party he represents.
The latest BNP propaganda leaflet specifically quotes that they "oppose the drive to give 80 million low wageMuslim Turks the right to swamp Britain". The BNP will "ensure that British soldiers are not abused on the streets of our cities by Muslims". Are these not racist and extremist views?
It is well known throughout history that in times of economic crisis and public disillusionment with the ruling parties that far right extremist parties gain the upper hand. This is, as I believe happened last year, often a vote against what we have, not a vote for what we might have. That can't be the best way to elect. I tell Will Blair that I wish he as an individual stood for any other party, except the BNP. I tell him that until the BNP define an "indigenous" population, in a sensible working way, then they can not have credibility. He says that no one can be completely with 100% of the policies of their party. I think that you can. And if you are not, then you should not be a representative of that party.
Only "the people" can decide on that.
(Since this interview with Will Blair, Labour MP Shahid Malik has stepped down as Justice Minister pending an inquiry into claims about his expenses made in the Daily Telegraph.)
