Protest against the BNP

Anti-fascists wishing to greet the BNP Battle of Britain Road Fund Raising event can meet up at 6.30 pm Monday 23rd March outside Merrylands Primary School, Cumberland Drive, Laindon, Essex SS15 6QS. This is NOT the BNP venue but is close to their re-direction point.

All people wishing to make a peaceful protest against Nick Griffin and his travelling circus are welcome to pop along.

Out of the frying pan...

Do not by any means be foolish enough to associate with UAF government spies who use this, 'Searchlight' and show racism the red card. All the well meaning civilised anti-fascists in this movement do not make it legitimate and do not mean they're not using it to gain information on you, I don't suppose any knows of the particular connections in the north east? I was told a little while ago Ken Booth was government informer. His BNP has been getting brilliant publicity recently getting arrested, he's like some sort of Geordie working class hero, raising his son by him self, teaching skin heads how to use an abacus/computer. 'Crazy conspiracy', how many times you getting your photo taken by the FIT and profiled by Public Order police? How many fascists do you tend to see? Because in the north east us UAF/ANL activists like to proest some where where we won't see the scary bogeymen

The tactic of being a victim

23.03.2009 12:39

Please be aware that the BNP have a policy of portraying legitimate opposition to their vile opinions as being oppression of themselves. The BNP have repeatedly promoted pictures of and stories of violent conflicts as a way of suggesting they are victimised. In some of the fascist forums there were stories of up to a hundred black (or mixed race) people attacking a lone BNP activist in Manchester. People are not so stupid as to believe the BNP on the basis of the number of lies the BNP tell.

It bears frequent repeating: the BNP need a victim mentality to promote themselves. They are not victims just vile, self hating thugs who mourn the passing of an international war criminal.

The BNP had always planned to use physical conflict at their "battle for britain" events to promote their hateful presence to the media. Particularly to SKY and to the BBC. As a tactic of promotion this minimises their cost of spreading hatred. The campaign is a crucial step for One Eye to remain with a lavishly funded lifestyle which he can not afford and, increasingly, donors are not funding. He might be a victim of the credit crunch, but the lack of credit simply exposes who his real victims are.

The battle for britain could be more accurately described as "bail out nick". The state of party finances is so delicate that Griffin needs victory in order to get to Europe and so get onto a gravy train. Following the self serving example of the fascists in blazers at the UK Independence Party, there is a perception that European money should be used to finance domestic hatred.


Griffin wants to slide into Europe behind a smokescreen of corporate media ineffectiveness.

Opposing his personal battle to create a pension plan from fascism is more than simply parasitic opportunism it is a clear strategy that will promote ethnic and cultural hatred. Nick Griffin needs to win the "Battle for Britain" or his entire financial history will become obvious in the course of the recession.

freedom of speach?

25.03.2009 19:00

I have never understood why fellow activists think it is healthy and natural to supress freedom of speach. it just makes people more angry and drives them underground. why do we need to be so polarised? its the working class of this contry that is always treated as cannon fodder , its an inarticulate politic in my opinion , but they have every right to be angry , especially regarding council housing. less hypocracy please!
