BNP Arrests in Blackpool

Rachel Nevada | 20.06.2009 14:21 | Anti-racism

Police target racists - for a change!

BNP Arrest
BNP Arrest


At least five arrests of BNP supporters inciting racial hatred and violence were made outside the New Kimberley Hotel in Blackpool as the neo-Nazi party celebrated its two MEP seats - which were accrued despite a fall in the BNP vote.

For a change, there was also a sizeable turnout from the media with two satellite vehicles - one of which was from ITN - and television reporters from both BBC Northwest and Granada.

"Four arrests at anti-BNP protest

A 16-year-old boy and three men have been arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred during protests against the British National Party (BNP).

Police said they believe those arrested were not part of the protest, which had been peaceful.

Up to 80 members of Unite Against Fascism gathered outside the New Kimberley Hotel during the BNP conference in Blackpool.

The boy and the three men, aged 21, 22 and 41 are being held in custody. "


so since it was the uaf we can safely assume they tried to sell some papers and get some new members

"so since it was the uaf we can safely assume they tried to sell some papers and get some new members"

How hard is it to concentrate on being anti-BNP for a change, instead of having a go? No papers were even offered for sale and no-one was asked to be a new member of anything, you dickhead.

There's a report here  http://lancasteruaf.blogspot.com/2009/06/four-nazis-arrested-at-anti-bnp-protest.html

any clue to why part of the picture's been blurred out (just to the right of the red sports car)?

Plus you know where the photo was taken from? Second floor hotel window?

Dont know. The picture was taken from Stormfront, and clearly as it was taken from within the hotel, the BNP member is once again one who happily uses that ne0-nazi website.

It's funny. The fascists in the 1930s liked their smart uniforms, shirts, armbands. Just look at them now! The master race! haha You can spot them a mile off.

'any clue to why part of the picture's been blurred out (just to the right of the red sports car)?'

It's probably shit on the window of the New Kimberley Hotel.

It isn't renowned for its cleanliness.

Apparently, Environmental Health were alerted to a 'significant vermin situation' over the weekend but their protective clothing 'did not offer adequate protection from the infestation' and 'posed a serious danger to the health of Environmental Health Officers'. Tourists have been advised to 'seek alternative accommodation not closer than a barge pole length from the New Kimberley Hotel.

Charges

22.06.2009 14:18

A 21-year-old man from Wirral has been charged with racially aggravated harassment and was due to appear before Blackpool Magistrates today.
Three other people have been charged with the same offence and will appear before magistrates on July 3.

 http://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/blackpoolnews/Arrests-during-Blackpool-BNP-rally.5387909.jp

Incidentally, there may have been four arrests but clearly five BNP supporters were led away in police custody.

> It's probably shit on the window of the New Kimberley Hotel.

Well there was certainly plenty of shit inside the Hotel. Agreed, it's not some where you'd stay unless you really welcomed the idea of puking and shitting flames simultaneously. But when you're about as welcome as a turd in a swimming pool like these fuckers you can't afford to be to choosy about your accommodation.

"The Blackpool hotel used by the far right British National Party for its annual conferences was branded a hazard to humans by health chiefs.

Officers investigated after guests complained about diarrhoea and vomiting while staying at The New Kimberley Hotel, Blackpool. They were also told of guests being given uncooked food and meat which smelt bad. Officials found the kitchen of the 50-bedroom hotel on South Promenade was filthy and discovered food which was out-of-date and in danger of cross-contamination from bacteria.

Peter Metcalf, 45, of Wyredale Road, St Annes, the hotel's former-leaseholder, admitted nine offences of breaching food hygiene safety rules and was found guilty of 11 similar offences after a trial. He was fined £1,000 with £500 costs and ordered to pay the £15 victims' surcharge by Blackpool magistrates.

Victoria Cartmell, prosecuting for Blackpool Council, said there were complaints in 2006 about the hotel.

Health officers first visited the hotel in July 2006 and Metcalf was given numerous chances to clean the kitchen. Officers again visited on August 14 last year and found the kitchen was filthy. Ceilings, walls, sockets, surfaces, pipes, floors, a cooker, fryer and freezer were greasy and dirty and food debris was scattered around. Black mould was on chopping boards, freezer seals and an ice-making machine. A wash basin was dirty and there were no paper towels.

Ms Cartmell said: "Double cream in the fridge was past its use-by date. Containers of ice-cream were stored next to boxes of raw bacon which could have caused cross-contamination of bacteria."

23.06.2009 18:49

Pino88 aka Penis88 aka Liam Pinker blubs:

"thanks to those giving us there support. The whole reason we went there was because the UAF was getting to big for there boots, are people suggesting they should have just been aloud to run the BNP security team out of central London?"

Let's all laugh at a Nazi

ordsall fenian


HOUSE NO?

24.06.2009 09:01

Ok last post I am going to make on here, I dont want any net bolox like Leeds, as I dont need unwanted police attention, Antifa does have my house no, but failing that, contact me on BFF forum or VNN, and I will meet you at the top of the street, just contact me on there with a time and a date, we will go for a walk away from the kids, then we can talk

WIGANMIKE


this mike guys not serious -

24.06.2009 10:23

about 'house & kids' - dont get involved in things that jeopardise the safety of either then you donut youre in over your head
taking it for the political equivalent of football hooliganism where people meet up for a 'row' smh
theres no antifa west of the pennines anyway & if youre making enemies with salford irish sorts or lads from toxteth/moss side type places you need to reevaluate your lifestyle, this countrybumpkin village pub warrior persona isnt gonna work on inner city folk. hence what happened in leigh that time

real talk


Well done Countrywide...

24.06.2009 11:54

...you really showed those reds. They must be quaking in their boots at your awesome show of power. If you lot are the elite of the fascist stormtroopers it's fucking embarrassing.

Even the lisping students on the fringes of the UAF have the bottle to at least throw a few eggs, you street warriors stand 50 metres off shouting and then get nicked. Fucking pussies.

Rudeboy


Oh Dear!

24.06.2009 12:45

This can be put simply:

'NOBODY likes a Nazi'

You would be best to suit up like the BNP. Boneheads will always be an easy target, and not just for the internet warriors at Indymedia.

No machismo. No Bullshit.

An ageing idiot and a couple of stupid kids? I'm sure Antifa are shitting themselves Penis!

"I will meet you at the top of the street, just contact me on there with a time and a date"

Why on earth would they give you notice?

Great publicity for the BNP by the way boys, you done a great job!

If he tries to prearrange a fight (with anyone left or right) it's to get them arrested. If he is not a serving Police Officer I will convert to Judaism.

No Mates?

11.07.2009 22:46

Dirty vest Wigan Shite's age was quoted as 41, how old were the others? Early 20's and one aged 16?

Don't you have any mates your own age Mike so you have to hang around with people half your age instead? - probably the only people who are impressed by you swaggering around picking on soft targets and bigging yourself up on the internet afterwards.

Sad, sad man.

Which one of your "boys" - quite literally it would seem - was it that cried when he was knicked by the way?

Just a little surprised why you are posting on here mate, I mean being a fash yourself, it looks to me like you are having probs with WM, and decide to let the world know about it, well fuck off dickhead don't bring your personal problems or shit on here.

Oh how I laugh that the stupid Nazi's are fighting amongst them selves, it looks like we don't have to do anything but sit back and watch, because they will destroy themselves, before I do.

Funny ain't it, BNP distance themseves from racism, NS politicsand violence and get 2 MEP's elected.

Wigan Kike turns up and gets arrested for inciting racism and giving the seig heil salute and threatening the reds.

Its obvious to anyone with half a brain that Wigger Kike's trying to sabotage the BNP, but who is he working for, the state or the reds?
