Racist cops in Britain.
27.05.2001 16:15
A 76 year old white guy was attacked a while back, allegedly by young asians. The mans family claim that it was NOT a racialy motivated attack but the cops are insisting on treating it as such.
The press are having a field day with race hate propaganda and some comments by senior cops are similar in tone to the Cinci fascists.
Cops have stopped anti-fascists marching but not neo-nazis.
Looks like asian youth have had enough, respect.

It reported on Oldham, which I've pasted below, though this was written & published
before the last two NF rallies of the last two Saturdays, and the riots. Next month's will
info on the most recent events.

excerpt from: The eLoombreaker, No.19, May / June 2001, Free
Boneheads (Somehow) Organise a Piss-Up
Recently the National Front have been playing cat and mouse with groups who oppose
them. Initially the fascists had led people to believe that they intended to march on the
7th of April. Some 300 people met outside the Civic Centre to let the fascists know in no
uncertain terms that they were not welcome on the streets of Oldham or any other town.
The National Front managed their usual turn out of two or three ‘supporters’ peeping
through the curtains of a nearby pub.
A month later the National Front used an attack on a pensioner as their excuse to march.
After complaints by the Chief of police and local councillors Jack Boots Straw (defender
of democracy) banned all political marches for three months.
Regardless of this the National Front said that they would, firstly, be at Oldham to attack
their opposition as they arrived, and also, that they would march past the Civic Centre at
3:30. They did neither. Instead goons from Combat 18 huddled together in groups over
two miles from the Civic Centre as their opposition, numbering at least 300, waited for
them. The Glorious National Front stayed peeping round the curtains in the nearby pub!
People from Manchester and Bolton managed to spend some time with 300 plus
members of the local community who were out on the streets — their main concern is
that this is just the beginning, as Nick Griffin (the National Front’s chief Knuckle dragger),
has announced that he will be standing in Oldham West in the general election. They are
also standing in Burnley, so that’s a quarter of their membership accounted for.
With the election yawn under way the NF have organised two more rallies. On the 19th
May the ‘rally’ of seven NF consisted in a booze-up in a couple of pubs in Oldham City
Centre. A counter demonstration took place not too far away. On the 26th May they will
be trying to stir it up again. People should be wary. Although the NF are a piss poor
organisation with nothing constructive to offer, their agenda is not far removed from that
of the really existing fascism that characterises state and corporate power.

oldham police brutality against minorities
03.12.2003 14:50
hand the excessive force that oldham police use as compared to other forces in the uk.
im sure the majority of police in oldham are ok, but their are a few sadisitic officers
who like to inflict pain. and not just against the asian minorities.
two officers pulled a van beside me, got out, pinned me against a wall, dragged me to the rear of a van and started to inflict intense pain on my arms, wrist and thums,
i was told to move out of oldham previously by this officer.
this went on for over two minutes, they had no legal right to do this, and it makes me worried to enter the oldham area, due to police behavoir, i can only think they chuck all
the rotten apples in the uk force in to the oldham area, i have the officer number, and am considering making a official complaint, if i feel it is safe enough to do.
the officer was blatant about and enjoyed what he did, and should not be in the force.
cannot say for fear of reprisals
