BNP promote UVF hate-preachers in London

Abraham Van Helsing | 01.06.2013 22:03 | Anti-racism

Only a short distance from the part of London where British National Party events steward David Copeland exploded the nail-bomb which killed three innocent (and, as it happens, ethnically white) people in Soho in 1999, today, on the 1st June 2013, the BNP assembled in nearby Westminster, in the pretense of protesting against "hate preachers" (of course, if the BNP were really concerned about "hate preachers", they would have been protesting against themselves) -

Only a short distance from the part of London where British National Party events steward David Copeland exploded the nail-bomb which killed 3 innocent (and, as it happens, ethnically white) people in Soho in 1999, today, on the 1st June 2013, the BNP assembled in nearby Westminster, in the pretense of protesting against "Hate Preachers" (of course, if the BNP were really concerned about hate preachers, they would have been protesting against themselves). After the catastrophic electoral and organisational collapse that the BNP suffered in recent years (which occurred largely thanks to sustained Anti-Fascist campaigning), the BNP hoped to use this demo to re-launch their wounded organisation. Instead their national demo struggled to attract at best perhaps 60 Fascists, with BNP supporters almost outnumbered by the (mostly left-wing) press photographers who also occupied the police-designated BNP enclosure.

Outside the police pen the BNP were opposed by hundreds of Anti-Fascists, who successfully prevented the BNP from marching, at all, let alone to Whitehall. Inside the pen, with a level of stupidity that could only come from people who are thick enough not to realise Fascism can't ever be "patriotic", the BNP flew the flag of sectarian terrorists the UVF - clearly demonstrating their own involvement in the preaching of hatred. In the 1st photo we see the flags of the BNP (white background) and UVF (violet-pink background), with their letters reversed as the flags were blown backwards by the wind (in the 2nd photo we see the same image flipped left-to-right, so the words "British National Party" and letters "UVF" can be read more clearly).

As a measure of just what BNP support for UVF terrorism represents, on the 17th May 1974 car bombs were detonated in Monaghan and in Dublin which killed 33 civilians and wounded nearly 300 more. No warnings were given, most of the victims were young women, and (as with the David Copeland bombings) one of the victims was an unborn baby. It took the UVF 19 years to find the courage to admit they'd been responsible for these murders, but, undeterred, in the same year the UVF admitted responsibility, on the 18th of June 1994, the UVF attacked a pub in Loughinisland, County Down, murdering 6 civilians and wounding 5 more. The attack was carried out in retaliation for equally vicious and brutal IRA murders, murders to which none of this attack's victims had any connection. In the UVF's 30-year career of terrorist butchery, they killed over 480 people, more than two-thirds of whom were innocent civilians.

If you're wondering whether the BNP's relationship with hate preachers is some kind of isolated incident, when BNP chairman Nick Griffin was leader of the NF, Nick Griffin supported Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi, who sponsored the murder of 270 innocent people in the Lockerbie plane bombing. Nick Griffin travelled to Libya seeking financial support from the Muslim dictator, and returned to the UK with hundreds of copies of the "Green Book", in which the Muslim dictator expounded his political philosophy, which, despite failing to secure any funding, Griffin still circulated to NF activists and to members of the public. Finally, Nick Griffin's business partner and closest long-term political ally is an Italian Fascist called Roberto Fiore - an ex-member of a Nazi group called the Armed Revolutionary Nuclei, who killed 85 people, including 2 British tourists, and injured 200, when they blew up Bologna railway station in 1980. Having been convicted in-absentia for membership of a banned terror cell, Roberto Fiore escaped arrest by hiding-out in London until his conviction lapsed, in the flat that Fiore shared with Nick Griffin.

Nick Griffin supported Muslim extremists - Gaddafi, Farrakhan, Khomeini

02.06.2013 18:31

Those words are spelled "hypocrisy" and "Baader-Meinhof" you plank, the Baader-Meinhof were Stalinist scum - linked to the exact same East German Stasi who persecuted genuine idealists for generations, and left-wing groups like Southall Black Sisters and Women Against Fundamentalism have been campaigning against Muslim extremism in some cases for decades before the EDL even existed, while Nick Griffin's was supporting Muslim extremists like Colonel Gaddafi, Louis Farrakhan & the Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran

"Far-Right Extremists Chased Through London by Women Dressed as Badgers"

Er... no. If you bother to read the link you actually posted:

"But in the event, both groups were upstaged by agitators of a different stripe. Decked out from head to toe in black and white, the group that won the day were campaigning neither for race war nor ethnic equality, but an end to the government's cull on badgers."

"And it was the pro-badger campaigners who appeared to steal a march on the political activists"


So, exactly where did they CHASE them though london., There were lots of protestors on the day doing all sorts of things, these lot were protesting about the badger cull.
BOTH groups were "upstaged". So, by your logic, the anti-fasc were chased through london too!

dumbass!

Not sure where you got your numbers from mate, but Leeds was 200+ EDL spread out between City Square, the Cenotaph and a few pubs.

UAF, other left groups and independent antifa numbered no more than 150.

@Sussex - The animal rights scene is not "full" of "facists" (judging by the spelling mistake you're probably the same troll as "Tommy Boy"). There have been a tiny number of far-right nutters within the animal rights scene, but, then again, the far-right will try to infiltrate almost anything

@OMG, speaking of "dumbass", the "Far-Right Chased Through London by Women Dressed as Badgers" link was re-posted because it's funny, not because the article necessarily made much sense. If you read the analysis offered by the International Business Times, they say "the pro-badger campaigners... appeared to steal a march on the political activists", but the pro-badger campaigners ARE political activists! Almost all the pro-badger campaigners joined the anti-BNP demonstrators after their own march had finished, so either way the far-right still lost on all fronts

@Dave, it was the original Nazi salute image that is unedited, it is the image that you posted, which you edited to add the words "Not an EDL member". You know as well as anyone that the EDL has no formal membership, and that the saluter was part of the EDL protest, Sieg Heiling, during an EDL demo, while holding an England flag, un-opposed by the other EDL supporters - if you can't follow the implications of that, ask a grown-up

@Julian, the BNP may or may not be against the badger cull, but still 90% of the pro-badger protestors joined the anti-BNP protest, which just goes to show (in relation to @Sussex) how unsuccessful far-right infiltration of animal rights politics has really been

Nice to know this thread rattled the far-right trolls!

I was on the badger demo yesterday im very well known in the movement, you have claimed that ar activists joined the anti bnp demo That is an absoulute blatent lie. You also claim there has been a small number of right wing ar activists in ar another lie its 50/50 I know of at least 12 ar activists who vote nf bnp that have been jailed and stacks that have been convicted. Its quiet clear you have an agenda but stop trying to split the ar movement your making yourself look stupid.

@julian

03.06.2013 00:00

The fact that you can't spell for shit suggests you're the almost certainly the same dolt that posted all the other stupid comments here, and, as just one (objective) indicator of your stupidity, even in the unlikely event that your claim that (quote) "at least 12 ar activists... vote nf bnp" (sic) was true, what that would prove is that Fascist infiltration of the animal rights scene has in fact met with very little success - that conclusion is NOT evidence of someone trying to "split the ar movement", quite the opposite in fact, and as for "making yourself look stupid", you're the one who can't spell simple words

Fuck off before you trip over your own shoelaces and do yourself a mischief

Thank you for the proof reading and spell checking.
I dont know what i would have done without your valuable anal attentiveness.

Heres one for you.. perhaps they were simple typos rather than spelling mistakes.

Have you ever thought of becoming a traffic warden?

@worm

05.06.2013 11:14

The issue of your semi-literate spelling etc was raised to show how most of the troll posts that appeared on this thread were written by you... it's got nothing to do with establishing "superiority" (but your self-description as a "worthless worm" speaks volumes, even in sarcasm). Somewhat more important is your inability to even try to answer any of the salient political points.... you're a joke

TTFN


oh f***ing really?

05.06.2013 23:09

Actually, I'm somebody else dick-wad.

Yourself and Vampire (or are you one and the same?) are attempting to create a strawman argument by indicated that there can only be one possible person in the whole world who doesn't agree with you. How arrogant you are. So, there can only be 1 possible person who doesn't agree?

" ... it's got nothing to do with establishing "superiority" "
Yes it has. Read the latter part of Vampire's comment indicating that "stupid" people can't spell. What about people with Dyslexia? What about people with physical disabilities who have to use different forms of accessibility beyond normal keyboards, where accuracy would become an issue? Someone who is paralyzed and using an eye-controlled computer would struggle to maintain a high level of accuracy.

Yet, you seem to think that anyone (and everyone) who can't type correctly is "stupid" regardless of their disabilities?

Even if that isn't the case, it is a very bad form of discrimination and bullying to have a go at "stupid" people anyway. Why pick on people just because they aren't born as smart as other people?

Now go and look in the mirror and consider what a bad person you are.

a worthless worm under your heel of superiority


You're wrong

"Yourself and Vampire (or are you one and the same?) are attempting to create a strawman argument by indicated that there can only be one possible person in the whole world who doesn't agree with you. How arrogant you are. So, there can only be 1 possible person who doesn't agree"?

Er, no, it's obvious I'm not saying that.... you're wrong

And you STILL havn't tried to answer any of the salient political points.... you're still a joke
