BNP to hold Day of Action in Skegness
anon@indymedia.org (EMAF) | 09.01.2013 16:55 | Anti-racism | Sheffield
Lincolnshire Coastal branch of the BNP have announced that they will be holding a "Day of Action" against the Skegness halal abattoir this weekend. They are meeting at 11.30am on Saturday 12th and advise interested parties to call 0771 4009285 to receive re direction point details.
The local BNP have been trying to exploit objections to the opening of a halal slaughterhouse for their own racist agenda since the summer and party leader Nick Griffin popped over for a demo in October. The BNP do not protest similarly cruel processes routinely carried out in factory farming or kosher slaughter, which is essentially the same as halal, choosing to focus solely on Muslims. They are not genuinely interested in animal welfare; they are just jumping on a bandwagon in the hope of getting support.
The Lincolnshire Coastal Branch is run by Robert Ashton, a "sales and marketing executive" who runs UK Indoor Cycling in his hometown of Holton-le-clay, Grimsby. He reckons the local BNP have had record numbers of enquiries since the news of the slaughterhouse's opening was announced. We will see what this translates into on the street on Saturday.
The BNP are not the only fascist group to have a go at latching onto the issue. The National Front went as far as holding a poorly attended national demo of has-been Nazis while confined to a park in September. Other campaigns against the slaughterhouse have distanced themselves from the far right's fake concern, which is clearly seen as a major setback and embarrassment to their cause.

It doesn't matter who is doing the protest, it is the message that is important.
Hows it going to look if Muslim's prevent white people from protesting against the slaughter of animals? The daily mail will lap it up.
Your choice

No. Fascist groups need to be stopped in their tracks by whatever means necessary. Capitalist law will not protect us from them. We need to do the job ourselves.
"It doesn't matter who is doing the protest, it is the message that is important."
I don't think it takes a genius to see that any protest that might win public support for fascists needs to be opposed. You can oppose slaughterhouses without promoting fascist politics.
"Hows it going to look if Muslim's prevent white people from protesting against the slaughter of animals? The daily mail will lap it up."
How do you know it will be Muslims protesting rather than antifascists of all backgrounds?
The BNP's protest is not against the slaughter of animals. They support any kind of slaughter as long as it isn't carried out by Muslims, their current enemies of choice. They don't care about factory farming or animal welfare unless they can make a racist point.
And for your interest the Daily Mail will lap it up or not whatever we do but even they generally draw the line at supporting the BNP. It's best to ignore what Britain's shittest paper will think about you and do the right thing.
Smash the fash - close ALL slaughterhouses

white civil rights without some Marxist brownshirt from the UAF or SWP turning up to
pour poison on the issue to stifle any serious sensible debate on the issue.
You have no right to dismiss European culture as extremist so that you can carry
on ignoring it, otherwise you will produce white extremists won't you?

If you don't agree with the Law, then work to change it.
You can't just make up your own laws as you go along.
Don't like it? Tough
