London BPP Fash get slapped!

D | 25.04.2008 09:46 | Anti-racism | Workers' Movements | London

Militant Anti-fascists turned over the BPP Victoria meeting. According to the BPP report on Stormfront, 'a couple of people got a good kicking, but the most serious injuries were a broken ankle and a comrade who was taken to hospital after being kicked unconcious'. The message is clear: No Platform, No Pasaran!

The following article has been taken directly from a Stormfront (fascist website/forum) post about the event. It is the BPP's view of the day and this should be taken in consideration when reading the article. Therefore I apologise for the bad grammar. Please remember that the people who post on Stormfront have an extra finger and shrunken cranium:

"This post is to make people aware of the events of Saturday 19th April and the attack by Antifa on the BPP Victoria meeting and to prevent the same thing happening again to any Nationalist group. There is no denying this Antifa group had at their disposal up to 35 people and they were organised, disciplined, informed and very bold. There were several football matches being played in London on that day, a heavy police presence who were doing alot of stop and searches.

These scum can not be dismissed as a bunch of kids or a bunch of middle class UAF students, they were very tough, split into small groups, had spotters and were carrying stanley knifes and screwdrivers. The attack took place on the way from the RV point to the meeting place (they did not attack the meeting itself which was their aim), a couple of people got a good kicking, but the most serious injuries were a broken ankle and a comrade who was taken to hospital after being kicked unconcious. We were very lucky because previous experience shows the weapons they carry were not for show, they have and will use them. There is a strong possibility that they were present at two previous BPP/BM events, the aborted Holborn fundraiser concert for the BNP and the aborted Brick Lane paper sale. Please note both events were aborted because of a strong reaction by Antifa's allies in the Police force.

This is not the time for blame and their were no cowards at the BPP meeting on that day, but Nationalists must be aware of the red scums potential and any meetings must have a good security regime in order. Discussing with comrades today, I would recommend that Richard Barnbrook (who seems to come in for alot of bile on their sites) and Troy Southgate (a National Anarchist) with the New Right meetings must be on their guard.

Be aware, don't take chances and check out new comers who ring up and want to come to meetings, even if it means having 2 re-direction points"
