Spoil the BPP's White Christmas

Auntie | 01.12.2005 18:00 | Anti-racism

Kick the so-called British People's Party when they're down!

As the BPP struggle from disaster to disaster, they're also struggling desperately for cash. One of their fund-raising schemes is to sell cod-pagan Yuletide cards with some ripped-off hippy dippy artwork. Clearly a copyright infringement, and one the artist, a certain Peter Pracownik, may want to take legal action over. Please take the trouble to inform him of the situation by e-mailing him at

Well done everybody who responded to this post. Within 24 hours the BPP took the cards off their site, and hopefully they're being sued by the artist (though so far as I know nobody has had a direct response), adding further to their financial woes and helping to stop them spreading their racist lies.

Basically, the BPP are really thick even by fascist standards. They're essentially the White Nationalist Party in a slightly different set of clothes - the electoral commission won't register White Nationalist Party, but it will register British People's Party, which is the reason for the change of name, first to Nationalist Alliance, then to BPP. However you really don't have to look very far at all to see that they're the same bunch of Hitlerite nut-cases. The contacts are for one person on the whole, and in a few cases not even that, so for example on the south coast it's Sid Williamson and his idiot side-kick 'Buster', and in Leeds the PO Box was recently set up by Kevin Watmough, who is also collecting the mail from the other Leeds address (a rented box number) too.

Bash the fash.

Whilst this may be missing the point, I would ask why this tiny group are so important to you?

The BNP gained 100,000 votes in the 1999 Euro elections. They then went on to gain 808,000 votes in the 2004 Euro elections. Thus, barely missing a seat in the North West.

They also had a substantial vote in the London assembley elections, also in 2004, missing a seat, which requires 5% of the vote, by only gaining 4.9% of the vote!!!

The BNP then went on to gain nearly 200,000 votes in the general election in 2005 which, under a perfectly proportional system, would have gained them 5 MP's from the 646 available.

I would imagine that Indymedia doesn't support RESPECT, and nor do I, but Respect's Muslim-based votes in the general election would have gained 2 MP's proportionally and is pathetic compared with the BNP.

If you add in the Scottish Socialist Party and the Socialist Labour Party, this might add a further 2 MP's to the left's tally. Which would still leave them 1 MP short of the BNP. Adding in all the other far-left groups who stood would make little or no difference.

I would suggest it is time for a reality check by the left. Throwing bricks through the windows of meetings organised by hard-line racists isn't going to stop the growth of the far-right.

Is it possible to stand alternative candidates and retain your revolutionary credibility?

Uncle Joe.

I think most antifascists would agree that the BNP are by far the biggest threat on the extreme right, but that doesn't mean that we should completely ignore the activities of smaller fascist groups, particularly when, like the BPP, they are committed to street confrontation.

Opposing the BNP does not mean we have to start participating in the farce of electoral politics. As for 'revolutionary integrity', if you're the same 'Uncle Joe' whose posted on Indymedia before, I'd suggest you lost your own 'revolutionary integrity' the minute you started posting the names of antifascists on Indymedia.

Isn't it worth an e-mail to try and put this nasty little group out of business Uncle Joe? As for the electoral approach, haven't the IWCA been trying that for some years now, sadly with even less success than the BNP?

Saddam Hussein was the ultimate fascist!

02.12.2005 09:43

Saddam Hussein was the ultimate fascist and yet you lot wanted America and Britain to leave his vile, evil, cruel, murderous regime in power. Remember the 300,000 slaughtered Iraqi Kurds and Shias found in mass graves? At one time back in the 1930s and 40s the left were totally against appeasement of fascist dictators.

Saddam Hussein

02.12.2005 10:18

There always seems to be some fascist troll or BNP apologist trying to change the subject on here. 'Us lot' were opposed to Saddam Hussein when the West were busy selling him chemical weapons. America and Britain ALLOWED Saddam Hussein to slaughter his own people, they even facilitated it. The American/British invasion of Iraq had very little to do with Saddam Hussein, and everything to do with oil. As for the BPP and BNP, they are both officially opposed to the war, for different reasons to the Left, and of course they condemn World War 2 because they'd have liked to have a Nazi dictatorship.

Thanks for posting

Don't be misled by all the contact details - 1 fash half a dozen sim cards - thanks for the PO No - did you know that they have to be attached to a UK address & the Post office will give you that address - there's another one for the christmas list.

Concerned made the usual Max attempt to change the subject - and yes I did and still oppose the occupation of Iraq. Hasn't some learned group just published some figures about it being as bad now as before occupation?

"posting the names of antifascists on Indymedia."

I have been posting on Indymedia recently under the name Uncle Joe. I can assure you at no time have I ever posted the names of any anti-fascists.

"particularly when, like the BPP, they are committed to street confrontation. "

I would accept your point that groups as this should be challenged.

"revolutionary integrity"

I am a supporter of left-wing electoral alternatives such as the Socialist Alliance, of which I was a member, before it's destruction by the SWP. So I would not claim to be a revolutionary.

"As for the electoral approach..."

The IWCA have had some moderate success by gaining 3 concillors in Oxford and are gradually raising their profile after a successful London Mayoral campaign. My support for the IWCA lies in the fact that they have a militant anti-fascist background and they appeal to white, working class voters who otherwise might be targetted by the BNP and far-right.

Typically, the SWP chose to steer the Socialist Alliance, and now Respect, in the opposite direction. The SWP used the SA to target middle class feminists, students, and other social groups, thereby failing to make any progress with the working class. Respect is even worse in that it specifically targets Muslims.

My argument would be that it must be possible to have a socialist/working class party that doesn't target one religious/ethnic group (Respect), or target the middle class (the SWP and their SA), or admire Stalinism (Socialist Labour), or seemingly only target people who live on council estates (IWCA).

First of all, apologies 'Uncle Joe', it must have been someone else using the same name. A unfortunate coincidence, and absolutely disgraceful behaviour by the individual responsible.

I am very familiar with the IWCA approach and see much validity in what they say, agreeing that the rise of the BNP owes much to the failure of the middle-class Left as well as the continuing abandonment of the working-class by New Labour. I believe however that we should be aiming to organise in our own (working-class) communities without validating the electoral sham by encouraging people to participate in it. Despite getting on for a decade of electoral participation, the IWCA have made extremely limited gains on this front, though hopefully they have had some success in non-electoral terms.

I agree with your analysis of the SA and Respect, but really think that what has happened is inevitable when other groups and individuals are fooled into working with the opportunistic (and ruthless) SWP.

Red N Black

The ruthless SWP

08.12.2005 20:42

Incompetent more like. The SWP who:

(1) About a year ago promoted two members of the BNP as national organisers in their Manchester student branch. Even better, they actually demoted a number of others to make way, who were presumably genuine SWP'ers.

(2) Get hemmed in by the police on May Day so that they have to piss themselves as they weren't allowed to go to the toilet for hours.

(3) Have become a mouthpiece for Islamic fundamentalism so that George Galloway can arselick his way across the Middle East and the Muslim world. Note, that Galloway is the third highest paid MP in the Register of Member's Interests. I wonder where all that money is coming from, it certainly isn't donations from the lowly constituents of Bethnal Green and Bow.

As Red Action say, "Let's face it, the middle class politically correct screeching of the SWP is enough to turn anyone to fascism."
