Today in parliament you listed Patriotic Alternative as one of five groups in Britain that are being assessed as to whether they fall under the Government’s new definition of ‘extremism’. The fact that such actions are being taken without due diligence or parliamentary oversight or debate is anti-democratic in itself, but more worrying is that from this point onward anyone rejecting what the Government terms ‘liberal democracy’ could fall foul of this draconian legislation.

This presents a major threat to both freedom of speech and freedom of association and is a dangerous step toward a totalitarian state where those who do not adhere to state doctrine are silenced and have their human rights curtailed.

This would all be bad enough; however you went further and used your parliamentary Privilege to make several completely misleading claims about Patriotic Alternative, which we seek to rectify here.

Your first false claim is that Patriotic Alternative seeks ‘forced repatriation’ of ethnic minority groups. This is completely and demonstrably false; we have a policy of voluntary repatriation for settled immigrants and the only people we seek to forcibly deport are illegal migrants and foreign criminals – something that the Conservative Party have repeatedly pledged to do but failed to make good on. We also oppose mass immigration – a view that is held by a large section of the voting population and something that the Conservative Party have again repeatedly pledged to get under control whilst in reality increasing net migration to new highs.

Your second claim is that Patriotic Alternative seek a ‘White ethnostate’. To clarify this, we state in our policies that:

“The British people are made up of the English, Northern Irish, Scottish and Welsh. These are the indigenous peoples of the United Kingdom and only they have an ancestral claim to it. The United Kingdom is the only place where the British people, and they alone, can realise their natural, cultural, religious and historical right to self-determination. As such, we will pass a Nation State Law to enshrine this principle and ensure the British people never become a minority or second-class citizens in their ancestral homeland.”

In short, we stake a claim to the ancestral homeland of our people and declare that our homeland should be governed for the benefit of our people.

You are an ardent supporter of the state of Israel, a state that has a nation-state law worded in a very similar way to the proposal that we are in favour of. If you support such a law for the Israeli people, why are you so offended that the indigenous people of the British Isles would also campaign for a similar law in order to protect our cultural and ethnic interests?

This would not be the creation of a ‘white ethnostate’ as you put it, but in fact ethno-states for the constituent nations of the British Isles – on the mainland that would be the English, the Scottish and the Welsh.

We believe that the indigenous people of these islands should never become a minority and should remain what we term a ‘super-majority’, this however does not mean that those of migrant descent would not remain here or that such people would be forcibly removed (unless under the conditions that they were here illegally or had committed crimes on British soil).

Your third claim was that we endorse ‘neo-Nazi ideology, we reject this claim. In fact, we have repeatedly attempted to register Patriotic Alternative as a political party in order to participate in the democratic process and stand in elections. It is however the Home Office, which currently operates under your very government, which has pressured the Electoral Commission in order to prevent us from registering as a political party – effectively denying us our democratic rights to stand in elections and also denying the public the right to vote for us. This represents a bureaucratic impediment to the democratic process that you claim to be in favour of.

Your final claim is that we ‘target minority groups for intimidation’. This is a complete and total fabrication. We are a lawful community group that campaigns on a range of issues. We have never targeted any group with violence or carried out acts that are intimidatory. In reality the very opposite is true. What’s more, we have members and supporters from ethnic minority backgrounds and have repeatedly reached out to other ethnic groups for discussions on issues such as immigration and multiculturalism.

Patriotic Alternative is wholeheartedly opposed to violence or confrontation and through our lawful activities we seek to engage with people who hold similar views and give those people a healthy and peaceful outlet for their justified frustrations with the current British political establishment.

Patriotic Alternative wish to be involved within the democratic process and the claim that we are ‘extremists’ is as absurd as it is worrying. To include peaceful community campaigning groups under this legislation is not only a threat to our human rights, but represents the creeping totalitarian nature of a government that brands itself as ‘Conservative’.

This is nothing more than communism via the back door.

We respectfully request that you remove our name from this list and that you put an end to this anti-democratic power grab that threatens to infringe on the rights of all British citizens who wish to speak freely and organise democratically.

Yours Sincerely.

      PA: “𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙟𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙝 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙚𝙘𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣…”

      There can be no “threat” to that which no longer exists. All that remains is “permitted” speech.

      PA: “𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙢 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝘼𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙨 ‘𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣’ 𝙤𝙛 𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙣𝙞𝙘 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥𝙨.”

      This statement is problematical, since the meaning here is not clear. Is Patriotic Alternative referring to “ethnicity” – or to Race? They are not the same thing.

      It does not matter if its gove or any other degenerate mp, they could all lie their way out of a wet paper bag and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are not patriotic in any way shape or form. they are all traitors to this country. the fact there has been no acts or statutes since 1973 tells you there is nothing underpinning this country whatsoever. Its in the swamp like the US.

      Don’t expect anything better from Labour who look like winning the next election.

      Great letter. Gove is going to be out but this will probably set something quite worrying in motion.

      Excellent letter PA. How Gove holds down a job in Government I really don’t know. Just goes to show what we are up against.

      This is a very good illustration of the waste of energy that goes in to debating with liars. The time for debate with people who should be before our criminal courts to answer the most serious charges imaginable relating to the pandemic outrage is long past. Business as usual for our ancient parliament and constitution is not possible any more. Mr Gove has I consider always demonstrated a keen inteligence and an absence of moral fibre and the Goebbles model of conduct clearly appeals to him.

      I constantly shift between thinking politicians are stupid and thinking politicians think we are stupid. Are they unable to see their own hypocrisy or do they not care that we can see it? Is it not obvious to them that their own behaviour is undermining the very system they say they support and which provides their sustenance? Wouldn’t it be easier for them and better for them to be straight and tell the truth, or are they inescapably tangled in a web of lies and deceit?

      Well done Patriotic Alternative. You are the truthful alternative.

      Twitter say this post is ‘potentially harmful’ when I tried to share it. Harmful to who I wonder?

      A pity ‘X’ won’t allow you on. So much for freedom of speech eh? I can only guess what’s happening to our country. Subversion comes to mind and MI5 must be complicit.

      “All publicity is good publicity.” I’m sure I’m not alone in coming here to research Mr Gove’s bizarre speech, only to discover that Patriotic Alternative is not a gang of terrorists but just what it claims to be – a patriotic alternative.

      I am a senior citizen and a military veteran. I was always so proud in serving my Country for 14 years in the Royal Air Force. I could never of imagined that this country we call Great Britain could become the abysmal place that it is now. Ethically, religiously and morally corrupt with anyone disagreeing in any way or form with the woke, politically correct diatribe dished out by the majority of our MPs, civil service, police, main stream media and the present judicial system are now seen as “right wing thugs” who deserve to be shut down, jailed and free speech curtailed. Those who do not stand up for the rights of the English, Scots, Welsh and Irish population in our once proud Nation are traitors to King and Country!

      If it wasn’t for Michael Gove I probably wouldn’t have came across this movement! Cheers Mick!!
      I have now joined this common sense community doing nothing other than protecting its own… no different to what the rest of the animal kingdom does! I am not against immigration so long as it’s not economic or illegal immigrants. Those who have legally obtained employment in the UK and are self sufficient with no need to have financial support from a system you have never contributed to.

      If the government is seeking “extremist organisations” it should put itself on the list. Could anything be more extremist than replacing the native British in our own homeland?
