BNP Venues Attacked

Yorkshire anti-fascists | 14.03.2008 14:00 | Anti-racism | Sheffield

No platform for the fascist BNP.

In the early hours of this morning (14-03-2008) several Leeds venues recently used for meetings of the fascist British National Party were attacked. The BNP have used these venues on a number of occasions, and the venues were in full knowledge of whom they were hosting.

The venues were:

Ireland Wood Social Club, Leeds
The Dog & Gun public house, Killingbeck, Leeds
Woodkirk Valley Country Club, Tingley, Leeds

The attacks on the venues took the form of damage to property, comprising glued locks and the smashing of several windows with red paint being thrown inside.

The purpose of this action is to send a clear message that we will do all we can to prevent the fascist BNP spreading their racist poison within West Yorkshire, and will actively confront those who provide them with resources and/or attempt to turn a quick profit from assisting them. Nick Griffin and his shabby cohorts may wear suits and ties instead of blackshirts, but we are not fooled as to the true nature of the fascist BNP.
