Chelmsford Unite against BNP

d mish repost | 12.08.2004 08:40 | Anti-racism | Cambridge

Following the National humiliation of the BNP in a television documentary
and, on a local level, the politically catastrophic arrest of local European
elections candidate Matt Single at a Unite demo in Southend last month, the BNP
looked set to gain back some credibility by having Nick Griffin speak in
Chelmsford last Saturday.

Sadly for the Nazi's, a local group of activists got wind
of their plans and decided to picket the railway station, where they had
decided to re-direct likely converts to an undisclosed location for a bit of siege
hailing. Fifty people came to express their outrage, ranging from Stop the war
activists to trade unionists and members of the local community. Gathering
under the banner of Unite Against Fascism, one sentiment rang true throughout the
demo 'We will make sure they can't spread their lies in Chelmsford.'
Unfortunately for the more confrontational members of the group, the Nazi's did not
show, not trusting their 'respectable' façade to hold under pressure. But plans
were made for a follow up rally, and also for the creation of a local Unite
group to act as a cohesive force between local communities ready to fight the
BNP. So far on the streets of Essex the score runs Unite 3, BNP 0. A big
thankyou to everyone who came along and helped to build the demo.

Matt & Senan.

Just a note, we got an unexpected level of media coverage from local and
essex-wide media, so the press must be hungry for news of this type.

It amazes me, having lived in Cymru for several years......

...and thus knowing how strong the belief in a Free welsh state is, how this british fascist nonce, Griffin, is allowed to operate from his base in mid wales. Apparently he has a farm there somewhere. It wouldn't be because he's got a farm (thus a landowner wank wank) and is pro fox hunting or something would it welsh poncers? Of course it were a matter of some new age travellers in wales, then, oh dear, what a fuss there would be...police harrasment, vigilant attacks and so on. But there is the british cunt living happilly on his estate in Cymru territory.

Unbelievable.

Allah Akbar,

King Amdo.

CYMRU TRIBAL SOVERIGNTY!

I'm a reporter on the East Anglian Daily Times, a morning daily paper which covers both Essex and Suffolk.

I'm interested to hear of any demos/rallies, especially in advance, so I can cover them properly.

Another BNP win

30.10.2005 21:37

Dear Guy's,
I would just like to take this opportunity to do some serious gloating at BNP Candidate Matt Single’s stunning courtroom victory at Southend Magistrates, 25th Oct. Your unwashed dreadlocked UAF/Marxist witness friend, Bridgeford, made a complete and utter cock of himself in front of the CPS, the defense, local media, magistrates and the dozen plus BNP supporters in the public gallery; it was truly fantastic. Watching the magistrates rolling their eyes as the prat tied himself up in knots was great fun, we could hardly keep a straight face between us, the defense didn’t really need to do any work, they just let him dig himself a hole; priceless!
Not only was the result a great little psychological boost for nationalism in the South, it was also a great blow for you dwindling minority of Reds generally. We now not only know how to beat you in the street, we now know how to show you up as the pond-life you actually are in a court of law for everyone to see.
The irony being of course, that many of us Nationalists have a greater respect for people with a cause and belief to fight for, regardless to how repugnant it is to normal people, than the majority of Mr&Mrs Joe Sheep and their credit cards, who rarely get off their fat arses for anything except themselves.
Still, all that doesn’t matter really because it’s only a matter of time until you wake-up and realise that everything in Britain is slowly turning to the right, and this time it is not going to be stopped. Your time is nearly up.

ps. I wonder what the real 'score on the street is'? Ha Ha Ha Ha.
