Album Cover
‘Love Sheffield Music Hate Racism’ Various Artists (LMHR) Now on release.
“Ignorance and misunderstanding are the underlying causes of racism. Music cuts through all that crap so we can judge a human being by the quality of their soul and musicality which are so much more important than the colour of there skin or their nationality” Richard Hawley, June 2006.
This album was conceived at the time of the local elections (back in the not so distant time of May 2006) when the BNP gained council members in the borough of Barking and put up a large number of candidates across the country. In Sheffield a highly motivated and organised anti-racism campaign meant that despite their best efforts the BNP's vote was significantly reduced.
The city has a long and proud history of challenging racism and an equally proud history of producing great music. We combined the two strands when we formed the Sheffied Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) group, in the tradition of the Rock Against Racism movement of the 1970's. Our plan, to promote the energy and quality of our music scene and use it to celebrate diversity and to involve people in anti-racist activity; showing a unified face against the malicious and divisive tactics of the far right. The group pulled the stops out and put together a double CD of Sheffield artists in double quick time.
Everything on the album has been donated, from the tracks themselves to the mastering, and the design. We believe that we have come up with is a brilliant snapshot of the music made in the city at this precise moment; a time when the city’s music scene is really jumping.
Thirty-five tracks are split across two discs covering virtually every musical base from indie-pop (Monkey Swallows The Universe) to conscious Soul (Bare Knuckle Soul) to Mercury Award Nominee Richard Hawley’s dark crooning to raw Drum n Bass (Ben Fraser) to country blues (Outroads) blissful electro (Hiem) to sweet positive reggae (Riddimtion Band) to Funk (Ninio) to the mighty rap outfit Hoodz Underground, all blessed by the godfather of Sheffield electronic music, Richard. H. Kirk (Cabaret Voltaire).
The album is on sale from Sheffield's branch of Fopp Records, Jacks Records & Forever Changes or can be bought directly from the website: www.lmhrsheffield.co.uk.

Love music, heroin, cocaine, smack, crime, jihad. But you must HATE the BNP!
27.03.2008 00:40
Whilst the BNP policy on drugs is to hang the importers and dealers, the Far Left groups such as the UAF are actively promoting drugs to young people by promoting the drug addicted pop stars that they use in their campaigns against the BNP.
The Far Left and magazines such as the NME regard drug addiction as something to be praised, a symbol of anti-establishment rebelliousness and reward drug addicted minor pop stars with awards and fame.
We make no apologies for using the image of Rachel Whitear on BNP leaflets. The recent massive surge in publicity over the issue of heroin addiction we hope has brought this issue to attention once again. Our sole concerns are that no more young people become junkies, and that profits from the heroin trade no longer subsidise the global Jihad.
The newspapers that have attacked the BNP for using the image of Rachel Whitear are the same newspapers that make millions of pounds from printing pictures of Pete Doherty, Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse using drugs. Those newspapers glamorise the stars that use drugs and then profit from selling pictures of them using drugs. Their hypocrisy is sickening.
The Labour government have announced today that they are granting junkies a license to steal. Drug addicts will no longer go to prison if they burgle your homes, rob your shops and terrorise your streets. Because the government regard self inflicted drug dependent junkies as ‘victims’ they are going to allow them to break the law with utter impunity due to their dependency on drugs.
In the mean time our taxes will also have to subsidise their trips to rehab clinics that will not work as they themselves do not want to come off drugs. Forcing junkies to attend rehab is pointless as a junkie will only come off drugs when they are ready to do so, not when the government wants them to.
This state of affairs exists because the government regards the heroin addict as a victim and not as a criminal, even though no-one forced them to buy the drugs and inject the drugs.
The BNP do not regard heroin addicts as victims, as the true victims of heroin addiction are only the innocent men, women and children of Afghanistan and Iraq who are being blown up, killed and left limbless by Islamist terrorist bombs funded by the heroin trade in the UK.
The other victims of heroin are young British soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan against those Islamist terrorists who are being blown up and shot by weapons funded by heroin grown in Afghanistan, smuggled into the UK via Pakistan, Albania and Turkey and sold in the UK.
Heroin addiction is tantamount to treason, as the Taliban and Al Qaeda cannot operate without the money from heroin.
The old response to heroin addiction was to treat the addict as a victim and see the problem only in relation to the individual. The time has come to deal with the issues of who is bringing the heroin into the UK, how they are bringing it into the UK and why the government has not targeted those communities who they know are primarily responsible for bringing drugs into the UK.
Political Correctness rewards the Islamists growing and smuggling the heroin into the UK, it allows the Islamist terrorists to make fortunes from heroin smuggling to fund the jihad, it enriches the immigrant gangsters in the UK who smuggle it into Britain and it rewards the junkie and punishes the victims of their crimes.
