Stop The BNP by May 3rd

nottinghamshireUAF | 11.04.2007 18:34 | Anti-racism | Sheffield

Stop the BNP in Hucknall next Wednesday (18th) - mass leafletting urgent

BNP ELECTION CANDIDATES ANNOUNCED.....STOP THE BNP IN NOTTS!

The BNP have published their list of candidates for the Council Elections on 3 May. Including Parish councillors they are fielding a record 827 candidates across the country. Most of these are paper candidates with no real campaigns or activity, but they are standing full slates of regional candidates in Scotland and Wales, Birmingham, Leeds, Thurrock and Sunderland.

This is more than twice as many candidates as last year, and more than the National Front at it's peak in the 1970's.

THIS IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO GET OUT THERE WITH UNITE AGAINST FASCISM. We need to be lefaletting against the BNP, stickering, and exposing the fascists for who they are. The BNP are putting suits on and trying to appear respectable, and we have to strip this image of legitamacy from them.

The good news is that Nottingham city remains an area where there are no candidates standing. The closest places to Nottingham they are standing are Hucknall, Brinsley, Eastwood, Heanor and Ilkeston. The biggest dangers at the moment are Hucknall where last year the BNP pulled about 25% of the vote, and Heanor, where they lost by only 16 votes last time.

LEALFET HUCKNALL NEXT WEDNESDAY 18 APRIL!!!!!
We're making a start in Hucknall next Wednesday, where there are already Unite Against Fascism members. Susan Gamble is the BNP candidate in Hucknall West, and we can leaflet the entire ward in a few hours with enough people. We're meeting at the MARKET SQUARE TRAM STOP FROM 5.30PM, AND AT HUCKNALL TRAM STOP AT 6.30PM.

Last year when the BNP stood we leafletted the area well, even the night before the election the BNP could only muster two leafletters!

SPREAD THE WORD, FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. The BNP have a much better chance of winning when the electoral turnout is low, and a much better chance of winning where there is no opposition. The more people that can make it to Hucknall the better, IT IS ESSENTIAL WE EXPOSE THE BNP AS THE RACISTS AND FASCISTS THAT THEY ARE

BNP in Derby

11.04.2007 20:14

BNP were in Derby centre on Monday the 9th, More disappointingly they refereed to themselves as Derby Youth and all looked under 18, and shouting "BNP" as well as Nazi Chants deliberately trying to offend the local ethnic minorities who were shopping.

Despite the centre of Derby being totally surrounded by CCTV, there was not one police officer or CSO (and variants) following or intervening in what was clearly inciting or racial hatred and threatening behaviour, which lasted 2-3 hours

Not the BNP


VOTE!

11.04.2007 21:12

Some wise words (below)I learnt that encouraged me to not only vote but also stand for election myself. Ok the political system is a farce but lets be elected into the system thats the only way to beat the BNP and our crap city council damn it.

'Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented'.

Lets play the bloody game and less of this anarchist stuff!

Not BNP either


CHOICES

12.04.2007 07:56

What a choice. Lets vote for the BNP or lets vote for Labour. Which one of the two starts illegal wars that ends in the deaths of 100's of thousands of people, is complicit in lies, torture and the ersosion of civil liberties and has ruined modern politics with spin, sleaze and egoism. I'd rather not bother !!!!!!!

The rise of Fascism

12.04.2007 09:32

Support the UAF. Are you taking the piss?
A sticky little clique of New-Labour wanabes and supporters in disguise?

I'm totally 100% for stopping the rise of fascism manifested this time as the BNP, but if you think I'd stop it in one form just to help it along in another you must be out of your mind.

The ONLY reason the UAF exist, is to stop the BNP from taking council seats and expenses away from the Nu-Lab council gangs as they instigate what the hell they want where they want; the rest is just words and arse-kissing.
Give a real alternative and I'll support it otherwise peddle your tricks elsewhere; and before UAF members attack me for saying a few home truths just remember that I've actually seen groups of you out made up almost ENTIRELY of either Nu-Lab councillors or candidates in the past! Explain that away then?

Maybe you should just accuse me of being a troll like you have in the past and ignore my post or get it removed? That would be a real easy way of shutting me up wouldn't it UNITED AROUND FASCISM.

Elsewhere in Britain... police support BNP over anti-fascist stickering

12.04.2007 11:05

From The Peterfield Post... (Hampshire), note 2 BNP candidate both pulled out)

"Extremists blamed for anti-BNP stickers
The British National Party has hit out at "left wing extremists" it blames for plastering anti-BNP stickers on dozens of businesses around Petersfield town centre."
[...]
"PC Duncan Gordon of Petersfield Police said anyone with any information on the culprits who were putting up the stickers around the town centre, should contact the police.
“Technically it is littering,” he said. “There is also an offence of fly-posting but perhaps more importantly there is the potential element of racial aggravation."

Stickers? WTF

12.04.2007 11:45

Putting up moronic 'stickers' on lampposts, bus shelters, peoples buildings and businesses. Great!
I used to put up stickers and collect the football ones, when I was about 8 yrs old.
Pathetic, really pathetic.

I imagine that when the fash realised how dangerous these stickers looked it must have sent them scurrying off. It must have been the reason for them quitting; for certain!

I've got an idea! Why don't we just all put up as many stickers as we can at the next election, tens of thousands of them everywhere and that'll bound to halt the BNP's election machine in its tracks won't it.
You knob.

how active are fascists in sheffield?

12.04.2007 17:50

is there any active fascism in sheffield on a street level? Not on a party politics level - of course this is very important to combat aswell but i have never found any information on nazi or fascist groups in sheffield getting themselves together enough to organise or go beyond the occasional beating of an immigrant. is this a false impression or are they actually capable of anything, other than gaining the protest vote?

...


anarcho pragmatist

13.04.2007 09:40

Personally until Antifa or others can deal with yob idiots like this in Derby I would report them to police,try & get evidence, & use police complaints authority etc if necessary. I know anarchists green or labour who would vote to keep the fash & tories out,personally I think this stretches anarcho pragmatism to the limit, but I would consider it.
I'd also do it to stop stalinists & some brands of Trotskyists as in Eastern europe they seem to have had a habit of murdering & stabbing anarchists in the back.

Time to grow up

13.04.2007 13:48

To Max - Great post.
More people need to open their eyes to these realities.
As for stickers, how can they help? Fash just laugh at them because they look absolutely bloody awful and totally childish; I believe they turn people away from anti-fascism.

sit and moan

14.04.2007 07:55

It's so easy to sit behind your computer and moan about what others do wrong. It tends to be done by the people who do the least. Get off your arse and get active! Elections coming up!

idiots on sheff streets

16.04.2007 08:55

the council wont do anything what so ever with that. unfortunately its pretty normal to have those kind of views in northern towns, i dont by anyway mean its acceptable. i just dont particularly think theres any way of making him think twice or remove his stall unless people fancy getting arrested repeatedly.
thats not what i meant by active fascism, i meant organised groups...ie blood and honour or one of the militant fascist groups that have sprang out from the fall of the NF. ive never heard anything of the sort in sheffield which is really nice and quite a positive thing compared to the rest of europe (which is going bad in anti-fascist terms). where i live now the openly fascist and nazi groups are dangerous and organised and there are a lot of them-there are most probably even more active fascists than ACTIVE anti-fascists.

No wonder the nazis laugh at you

16.04.2007 09:25

Fash on Sheff streets

That's got to be the most disgusting tripe I have ever heard. The guy who runs that stall a nazi? You obviously just want to stir up trouble. Many of us know PD and if you had any idea about him you would also know that one of his life long friends who does stand with him on occasion is a convert to Islam. Whats more sickening is that IM allow this kind of tripe up without checking the facts and just based on hearsay. PD is a good family man who has been running that business for years and has friends from many ethnic backgrounds. By posting this garbage you could stir the pot for someone who is not interested in politics and would be shocked at the suggestions made here. How pathetic.

TROLS, TROLLS, TROLLS

16.04.2007 15:11

UAF - Good
Stickers - Good
Opposing the BNP - Good

Don't believe anything else

PJ


OK then

16.04.2007 15:55


I do not wish to stir up anything, if he's not a fash / nazi good for him, if he is the post is still relevant.

Simple as !



AFA


How stupid

20.04.2007 13:06

So we might as well just go accusing anyone of anything then? You are pathetic and you are probably a nazi just shit stirring and Indymedia needs to get its priorities right.

Traci


relax

21.04.2007 11:00

whoever afa is, may have mistaken fascism for nationalism or hadnt really spoke to the guy himself and heard it from second or third hand knowledge. but its a bit daft saying AFA's probably a nazi stirring up trouble its really normal in areas where there is no nazi problem that people pick up on the slightest wiff of anything and decide that its nazi without taking the time to decifer things properly

....


Northern England !

26.04.2007 00:29


Well up North as they say is a prime area for fash / nazi activity, the reason Sheffield is having less of a prob with the fash and nazi's is because activists and people of Sheffield have been very militant when they appeared and tryed to spread there posion, so let's keep this up !

No to racism !

For Militant / Anti Fash / Nazi action !
