When our Somerset correspondent sent us in the report below we initially were going to publish it on our Regional Voices site. We say “we were” – until we saw some images referred to in the report. When you have viewed the images you will understand why we consider this to be a national news item – rather than a regional one. We should further add that the images demonstrate exactly what the far-left Islamophile National Union of Teachers (NUTs) are all about when they say they want Islamic instruction in our schools!
Here is our correspondent’s report:
As many visitors to this site will be aware, South Somerset BNP organised a campaign against the building of a mosque in Yeovil back in 2003. This led to a local BNP spokesman being invited onto local radio to give our point of view. Because of this and considerable opposition from concerned local people, the plans were shelved.
However, at the end of 2006, the South Somerset BNP was informed that a fully functional mosque was operating in Yeovil’s Westminster Street. And, after much research, it was discovered that the mosque had “come into being” through three separate planning applications that referred to the proposal - not as a mosque - but as a “conversion to religious meeting rooms. Despite (or because?) of local hostility and the presence of the BNP, both South Somerset District Council and the local media kept the development from the public. Indeed, not a single councillor or reporter bothered to inform the public until it was too late. As a result, the BNP won 16% of the local vote in last year’s elections.
Since then South Somerset BNP has received a tip-off that a site is being sought in or around Yeovil for a purpose built mosque and that although the proposal is well known to certain councillors, that the entire project is regarded as secret and is being kept from the public in general and the BNP in particular! The BNP is currently, as they say, “checking it out”!
In addition, as an example of what we can expect - should a purpose built mosque be built - the angry parents of a pupil at the Hazelgrove Prep. School, in nearby Sparkford, has provided us with the following link

No doubt these images will make the Marxist Islamophiles at the NUT feel very proud! We’re not sure whether Christian parents will share their delight though!
