BNP try to blaim murder on Asians... Again

From the BNP website :
Yesterday(21st) evening in the town of Heckmondwike a 16 year old British schoolgirl was chased a short distance from a filling station to outside the Swan Pub on the town’s Bradford Road where her assailant slashed her throat. Eye witnesses described the attacker as of Asian appearance. The girl was rushed to hospital but was confirmed dead on arrival. Police have confirmed that a 20 year old male has been arrested this afternoon in connection with the attack.


Todays Report from the courts :
Richard Mark Hanson, 20, of Stubley Farm Lane, Liversedge, appeared at Dewsbury Magistrates' Court on Tuesday charged with Miss Roberts' murder.

So there you have it, no Asian connection at all, in fact no Eye witnesses, just a urban myth put around by the BNP that a Asian had slashed a white girls throat.

I will let someone else do the Editoral.

The idiots have been ranting and raving about it on all the Fash sites - Morons

Even more lies from the BNP

26.09.2006 19:03

Yesterday's main article on the BNP's website was a report on the tragic death of Gemma Louise Roberts, 18, who was found outside the Swan Hotel in Bradford Road, Liversedge, on Thursday night, following an horrific attack.

Apart from getting Ms Robert's age wrong - claiming she was 16 - the BNP used the article to print its usual violent attack on multiculturalism, claiming that, 'This is the violent and brutal reality of life on the fault lines of multiculturalism – an inherently flawed and wicked policy whose advocates should be called to account...'

In an unnecessary outburst of invective against Muslims, the far-right party claim that,'the war [against terror] is being waged on the streets of British towns and cities'. It goes on to claim that, 'It is absolutely urgent that the issue of militant Islamists; a handful of seriously wicked men who are capable of whipping up a much larger number of their co-religionists to undertake murder, rape and mayhem is properly and maturely discussed by police, politicians and the media alike.' The BNP's article closes with the line, 'Only then might another family be spared the horror of a loved one being the victim of racist and religious criminality.'

Just one problem. The only suggestion that anyone Asian was involved in the attack on Gemma Roberts came from the BNP. Nobody else mentioned that; neither witnesses, the local newspaper or the local police. Just the BNP.

In fact, the BBC reports today that a Richard Mark Hanson, 20, of Stubley Farm Lane, Liversedge, appeared at Dewsbury Magistrates' Court on Tuesday charged with Miss Roberts' murder. After a short hearing he was remanded in custody to appear at Leeds Crown Court on October 3rd.

No hint of a Muslim name - no hint of his being an Asian. Because of course, he isn't.

This BNP article smacks of a deliberate intention to incite racial hatred in the sure and certain knowledge that some people will believe anything they're told - even if they've been told it by the BNP, a political group noted for its constant lies, its racism and homophobia, its member's appalling criminal records and its disastrous and generally completely useless councillors.

Perhaps the BNP's constantly vitriolic attacks on Islam are fueled by its new-found role as the 'unflinching defender of our nation's Christian heritage and its traditional Christian values'. Or maybe it's just because the BNP is racist and would like to blame Asians and/or Muslims for anything that's going.

Nick Griffin, the party's leader, is up in Leeds Crown Court himself later in October on a charge of using words or behaviour intended to stir up racial hatred and an alternative count of using words or behaviour likely to stir up racial hatred. Perhaps there should be yet another count of the same charge added on for this fiasco. He'd certainly deserve it.

where's the point?

26.09.2006 23:18

what a shitty article, I mean, the BNP are racist asholes, so far, so good, we all know this, but it shouldn't matter for a left wing person, if there would have been souch a crime, wheater the person who did it was white, asian or whatever. I really think it is disgusting, this mentality of "see, it wasn't an asian guy", because this shows somehow an indirect racism of leftwing people, I hope you know what I mean. IT doesn't matter anything which where the guy was born, which colour his skin had, or what ever, tghere's no point.

'...it shouldn't matter for a left wing person'

It doesn't matter to ANYONE except people like the racist BNP who will lie to MAKE it an issue. That's what the article's pointing out. Are you thick or something?

Beebeesee


Even more stupidity from UAF

27.09.2006 00:51

In their blind irrational zeal to hang the BNP on just about anything UAF and its supporters seems happy to hang anyone. Richard Mark Hanson has been charged NOT convicted. He is innocent until proven guilty.

bleeding heart liberal

Hence the phrase 'appeared at Dewsbury Magistrates' Court on Tuesday charged with Miss Roberts' murder.'

Give it up, eh. The BNP fucked up again. Just let it go.

Liberal idiots

27.09.2006 09:03

How come anti-fascist threads on Indymedia always attract liberal idiots either apologising for the fascists or criticising those who oppose them? Why don't you just read the OTHER threads if you have nothing more productive to say? At least the fascist trolls know which side they're on.

This weekend 2 schools had to shut early in Peckham due to gang violence, 1 shot dead & 1 critical in Brixton, 1 shot dead in Kings Cross, 1 shot dead in Nottingham yesterday- together with constant shootings in Moss Side. Lets guess who is to blame ??? Maybe Antifa should move to one of these areas and see the rough side of the street.

Exactly what is Anti Fascist Squirrel's point when he says...

“This weekend 2 schools had to shut early in Peckham due to gang violence, 1 shot dead & 1 critical in Brixton, 1 shot dead in Kings Cross, 1 shot dead in Nottingham yesterday- together with constant shootings in Moss Side. Lets guess who is to blame ??? Maybe Antifa should move to one of these areas and see the rough side of the street.”

If you're trying to suggest that this is about racism, rather than inequality, desperation and poverty, then all the victims of gang related gun crime would be white. What colour are the vast majority of the victims of UK gun crime?

I am poor and desperate (family and rent to pay) but have never owned a knife or a gun or wanted to. You want to see racism, then go to Israel and see the most racist murderous state that has ever existed. Anyway this thread should end as the BNP have admitted their mistake.
