D-Day against the BNP (June 6th)

Andy | 01.06.2004 16:17 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Oxford

Please join Anti-racist campaigners from across the West Country to leaflet Calne this Sunday (6th June) against the far-right BNP. We will be assembling at 11:00 in the car park of St Edmunds Church, Oxford Road.

Organisers have picked Calne becasue Robert Baggs, a prominent far-right activist in Calne is a BNP candidate in the Euro elections. Each time we leaflet Clane we are joined by many people fromn Calne itself. Many feel it is a shame that the reputation of the town is besmirched by Mr Bagg's unpleasant extremeism.

More facts about the BNP:  http://www.stopthebnp.com/
Nick Griffin (BNP Party Chairman) received a two-year suspended sentence in April 1998 for inciting racial hatred. Tony Lecomber (BNP Group Development Officer) has 12 convictions, including one for possession of home-made grenades. Colin Smith (BNP South East London organiser) has amassed a total of 17 convictions for burglary, theft, stealing cars, possession of drugs and assaulting a police officer. Warren Bennett (BNP Chief Steward) is supposed to keep order in the party yet has convictions for football hooliganism. Several other activists and office holders in the BNP have convictions for crimes such as assault, gang rape, racial abuse, armed robbery and handling stolen goods.

The link to this comment is a searchlight website. Are there any real anti fascist involved in this demo/leaflet distro or is it a swp/respect/searchlight activiy. Are any anarcho/antifascists planning anything?

real or unreal?

Unite Against Fascism and Searchlight have been organising events and leafletting up and down the country. I have yet to see any evidence of your self-proclaimed 'real anti-fascists' doing anything other than posting self-satisfied little diatribes on websites telling people not to vote. I know who I think is more real.

what is K suggesting

K - what are you suggesting instead? Don't be so quick to assume that others wouldn't support it.

However, we are organising this leafleting, andf if you want to help you will be welcome.

It makes me laugh when people describe searchlight as an SWP front, have you ever read the magazine? Do you honetsly think Gerry Gable is in the SWP?
