United action needed

Unfortunately, Unite Against Fascism (UAF) and the main political force behind it, the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), have been largely absent from this campaign. This is despite numerous requests for meetings from the local campaign and the campaign leafleting the UAF national conference last March so they were aware of what was happening.

Some weeks after the details of the protest were announced, UAF members have begun distributing leaflets advertising a rally at 11am without any discussion with the local campaign. UAF have even added NStBNP as one of the organisations calling the rally without consultation! UAF's unilateral call for a rally at a different time has, understandably, raised fears that they are attempting to split the anti-BNP movement.

Any attempts to organise a rally separate from the NStBNP rally will weaken the strength of opposition to the BNP's festival. It would also show a complete disregard to the democratic lines along which the local campaign has been built, within which UAF have so far declined to participate. That would be counter to the idea of building a united mass campaign against the BNP, of involving new activists in campaigning and discussing tactics and slogans, of involving as many as possible to develop the best slogans and ideas capable of defeating the BNP.

Despite the obstructions created by the UAF's approach, the campaign is determined to make the protest a massive success and many people are involved in a range of work to build the protest. Last weekend, the campaign took leaflets to the Durham Miners' Gala as it wants an attendance from all over Britain.

Eddy Ready To Do A Runner

2008-07-13T03:32:00.001-07:00

BPP founder and notorious alcoholic Eddy Morrison has gone to ground in light of the recent conviction of his race-hating pals, Simon Sheppard and Stephen Whittle

Not a good month for the glue sniffers and perverts of the BPP. Eddy has left a message on his blog shite saying "sorry folks... there is little point in me continuing this Blog".

Martyn Gilleard, one of their Yorkshire organisers was recently convicted of having a bomb under his bed and 39,000 "images" of children.

That "ZOG" is a real bastard isn't it? Nevermind the "sorry" Eddy, just don't do it again.

A Toothless Insincere Gimp!

2008-07-01T16:09:00.000-07:00

Richard Barnbrook is a cynical, devious, shallow-opportunist and low life.

This time he has dashed in his bat mobile across town to try and make political gain from the tragic and senseless murder of sixteen year old Londoner Ben Kinsella.

Richard is very concerned because Ben is white. The cynical piss head, who makes a living out of creating racist misery for the people of London, took no time in getting to Islington, north London to parade himself as some sort of saviour of the (white) youth of London.

He pulled the same sick stunt last month, when he went as far as Kent, to attempt to grab the headlines when another youth was stabbed to death, 18 year old Harry Potter actor Robert Knox. Yes, the alleged killers are reportedly black in both cases. That's what Barnbrook wants you to know about these murders.

We won't dignify their pathetic attempt to portray a sweeping problem as some kind of "ethnic cleansing" by black youth on white youths by showing their pathetic video, but it's needless to say that Barnbrook is in his usual attire coincidentally standing outside of a pub.

Once more Barnbrook is urging Mothers to join with him in a campaign against knives. Exactly what an ignorant, bumbling, alcoholic can do to stem knife crime seems to be irrelevant. He cannot even control his bladder, let alone crime in London.

He claims that if he is elected to parliament he will end knife crime "immediately". What a cynical, shallow, gutless ponce on the miseries of decent people Richard Barnbrook and the BNP really are. Not only is it a bare faced lie that he could (or would) be able to do such a thing, it is an insult to All of the Mothers and Fathers of All of the young people in London who have fallen victim to this dire and senseless epidemic of brutal and indiscriminate thuggery.

Barnbrook's current dental problems sum him up as a man and as a "politcian".

Barnbrook, you are a toothless gimp and a charlatan. Anybody allowing their kids anywhere near you, a man who keeps Mein Kampf under his bed, and your sick friends would obviously be in need of a mental health check.

Stopping the BNP is inspiration and application in equal measure

2008-06-27T06:56:00.000-07:00

Taken from Where Now

The emphasis on big set-piece carnivals and central London demos is carved out of a late 1970s politics that is no longer enough to turn the BNP tide so excellently described in Nick Lowles's opening to this discussion.

Two stark statistics sum the situation up. On 1 May 2008 the BNP contested 642 council wards, recording an average of 13.4% of the vote. Gathering in one London park, or Trafalgar Square for that matter is spectacularly inadequate to the task.

Yes of course we need inspiration. Music, film, humour, art and much, much more are vital to that end. But this has to be linked to application, if we cannot connect this to the community-led localised campaigning to turn the BNP tide wherever they stand in elections we are fooling ourselves, and more importantly all those - predominantly young - who turn out tto dance and sing against the BNP. This was the problem with the 'Love Music Hate Racism' Carnival in April. With four days of crucial campaigning left against the BNP time was already short but not a single effort was made to get those present out to leaflet and canvass against the BNP. All that was offered was a carnival programme that advised us to 'Don't Vote Nazi' or 'How to organise a fundraising gig'. Perhaps the organisers were too busy seeking to persuade those present to vote for their 'Left List' . With a crowd of 60-100,000 present just imagine if just 1% of those had turned out on the following Tuesday to help with Searchlight's leafletting of every London tube station against the BNP. Sadly, nothing of the sort happened, an important opportunity wasted that might have just made the difference.

Yes we need inspiration but it must be mixed with application. A month earlier with a tiny fraction of the budget put into the Carnival Philosophy Football with the support of the Fire Brigades Union put on a night for Searchlight. 75 of the 200 present were inspired enough by Billy Bragg, DJ Don Letts, comedian Shappi Khorsandi, grime theatre the Decypher Collective to sign up for Searchlight leafletting. Imagine if we'd had a nationwide tour of such nights, mixing inspiration and application across the country to draw in a new layer of activists.

When I came into anti-fascist politics it was all a matter of rocking against racism followed by demos to stop the nazis marching. The connection between inspiration and application was easy enough to make with bands like The Clash, TRB, Stiff Little Fingers, Steel Pulse providing the ready-made soundtrack of resistance. Today its different, organising locally, door-to-door leafletting and canvassing, the painstaking rebuilding of community organisation is rarely spectacular but we're being dishonest pretending theres any alternative if we're serious about stopping the BNP.

On Saturday 21 June there could be no greater contrast. Love Music Hate Racism with UAF call a 'national parade' through the empty streets of Central London with a couple of thousand of their most committted activists turning out supplemented by new, young, activists expensively bussed in from around the country. Meanwhile 7 miles away the BNP are standing in two crucial by-elections in Barking and Dagenham. I'm glad I chose to leaflet instead of march, proud of doing something practical and effective. I was inspired to do so by that night we'd organised back in March, but what if those 2000 in Central London, or just 10% of them, had joined us, we'd have covered the whole ward instead of one estate.

Inspiration and application, we need both. Each feeding into each other, serving the needs of rebuilding community-led campaigns against the BNP rather than the spectacle of a big turn out in Traflagar Square or some park.

The Great Rock & Roll Swindle

2008-06-19T09:03:00.001-07:00

What's all this then? Not wanting to go on another Stop The War/Ban The Bomb/Stop The Nazis march?

Well, no. As much as protest is a valid and valuable way of stopping the BNP it is not and must not be the only way. In fact, it cannot be, because it just does not work on it's own.

The BNP will only be beaten by actually challenging their message with ours, and sadly with a large dollop of pragmatism.

The BNP is a party building itself up on the backs of the disenfranchised white working class. There is no point denying it.

Rock concerts to teenagers too young to vote-indeed as was the case at Victoria Park-not even told to vote- (the gig was held after the closing date to register even)is a postive way of building a progressive movement for the future. It was however, no substitute for the genuine hard work actually being done where the BNP was both strong, and where there was a large BME vote waiting to be galvanised.

But, sadly, in the case of the current UAF/LMHR swindle on the antiracist movement in case you have not realised it folks, the horse has somewhat already bolted. What is the point of marching in protest to city hall when there will not even be anyone in??

Searchlight's Nick Lowles has already dealt with the dissapointment of the BNP's election breakthrough here and here It's quite sobering reading. We might not all agree on his entire analysis' but it's probably more than just hitting the proverbial nail on the head: He's given it brain damage here and HERE

Still however, the UAF insist that marching alongside floats on a Saturday afternoon to an empty building to make an empty gesture will defeat the BNP.

And yes although marches are nice, good fun etc, etc you have to wonder why when there are two council elections being held in outer East London where the BNP has very good chances of winning, the UAF are having a march instead through the centre of London to protest against one already elected BNP official.

Why are the UAF not going to actually join trade unionists and anti-fascists in actually doing some hard graft and trying to actually stop the BNP in the areas where they are standing, some 7 or so miles from where the UAF are having their march?

This is not the first time the UAF have been called into question. GMB steward Sam Tarry has attacked the UAF twice in the past month for their lack of campaigning during the elections.

In a recent interview on the Islam Channel Tarry told the viewers that the £400,000 spent by LMHR and UAF to hold their undersubscribed activity at Victoria Park, could have actually have been spent on employing eight full time anti-BNP organisers instead.

Further, in an article in Labour Briefing, Tarry claimed that the UAF had not put out any literature during the election campaign other than materials advertising their concert. Again, a concert where nobody was told to vote, and where the large majority were possibly not even registered.

This lack of voter registration is an enormous worry, something with planning and of course common sense, that the UAF could have addressed but did not.

In the latest edition of Socialist Worker, UAF joint secretary Weyman Benette goes some way in explaining why the UAF cannot and do not engage with voters who may well be voting BNP.

Weyman says:

United we will smash the Nazi BNP

Who will, and how? Well suggests Weyman, the SWP of course. "The BNP trades on whipping up fear and creating scapegoats out of immigrants and ethnic minorities".

He certainly agrees with Mr Lowles on that, then. Then he goes on "It’s important to tackle these lies. But there are deeper reasons for why the BNP is attracting so many votes. One is the fact that the mainstream parties have significantly less local involvement and engagement than they once had".

I agree. So how are the lies being told in Barking and Dagenham and in the two elections currently being held actually being addressed by a march in central London? He doesn't answer. But he does continue..."The BNP has exploited this political vacuum to present itself as some kind of political alternative. We need to expose their claims on this front too." Erm, could you be a bit more clearer Weyman, it reads to me like you're not really confident that you can engage on these issues yourself. So come on, HOW WILL YOU DO THIS EXACTLY?

"..we need to mobilise this anti-fascist majority. That means getting ordinary people out in their thousands – like at the Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) carnival back in April, or on this Saturday’s demonstration"

BUT WEYMAN, THE PEOPLE VOTING FOR THE BNP LIES AND MYTHS WILL NOT BE AT YOUR MARCH. THEY'LL BE AT HOME READING LEAFLETS PUTTING THESE ARGUMENTS TO THEM!

He gets even better...."We have to challenge the Nazis where they are trying to build a base." This he can obviously do from a march in central London and not in the constituencies where the BNP is actually standing!!

He goes on to even claim the "BNP want another Nazi Holocaust." Is he totally mad? Has he ever knocked on the doors of Mr and Mrs Smith who are voting for the BNP. Try telling them that, when all they want is whichever ridiculous pot of gold the BNP has made quite accessible to them by simply putting out leaflets.

Running around shouting "Nazi" and "Fascist" is becoming a little bit long in the tooth. Rather like this great drain on the resources of the many genuine and decent people inside and out of the UAF, wanting to genuinally fight the BNP.

UAF & LMHR?

Just another Great Rock and Roll swindle.

BNP Launches Appeal For Dicky

2008-05-25T08:22:00.000-07:00

The BNP leadership have travelled great distances to help their poor little lush read his work related documents.

They would aslo like someone to find the idiot a new suit.

We dunno, same suit different day for Dicky. The BNP would never have made Dicky number one on their list if they had known they'd only get just over 5%.

They sort of hoped the gruff, rough, but at least coherent councillor Bailey who normally reads Richard's papers in B&D would have been elected to help the idiot read.

Some Honour The Flag-Others Bring Dishonour To It

Role of honour
The history that black and Asian service people in the British armed forces is a long and rich one, as Joy Persaud reports

Corporal Bharminder Singh Osahan, 27, (pictured, left) grew up in Kenya. A member of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), he has been attached to 4 Regiment in the Army Air Corps for the past eight years. He believes that a British serviceperson is a symbol of the nation’s and its people’s sovereignty.

"I am very proud to be in the REME, and above all the armed forces," he says. "In my unit, each individual has a role regardless of their ethnic origin, but there is a variety of backgrounds from all parts of the world – Indian, Zimbabwean and South African."

The notion that his race or religion could be an issue in the forces is one that Corporal Osahan finds hard to comprehend. "I find it a complete misunderstanding," he says. "People may have encountered personality clashes or arguments with their peers, and this may have been flaunted as a racism case. On the contrary there may be some cases of racism, but I haven’t heard of any while I’ve been serving."

He maintains that there are no conflicts between his religion – Sikhism – and his job, and has found that while some people are curious about his beliefs in a politely inquisitive manner, others don’t seem to notice.

"I personally choose not to wear a kirpan (ceremonial sword), as I have not been baptised yet. However I do wear a turban all the time. I wear a patka, which is a smaller turban when at work, or when I need to wear a helmet, as this doesn’t compromise my safety.

"People may have different approaches and be slightly aware of the difference in me, not knowing how to converse, what to expect, but after the initial barrier is broken, life’s plain sailing."

Such positive talk would likely be music to the ears of those at the Ministry of Defence, which has admitted that it is falling short of its recruitment targets among ethnic minorities.

The percentage of UK forces from ethnic minority backgrounds has risen only slightly recently; as of 1 January 2008, ethnic minorities accounted for 6% of the armed forces compared with 5.8 % at the same point last year.

The MoD stresses that it regards education and awareness of diversity and equality issues as a high priority. It says that annual equality and diversity training, at a level appropriate to rank and responsibility, is mandatory for all members of the armed forces. In addition, the Joint Equality and Diversity Training Centre at Shrivenham delivers a five-day course to unit equality and diversity advisers and a one-day seminar, which is mandatory for senior officers.

The MoD says that is has made ‘great strides’ in improving its record in equal opportunities. It’s hard to argue. After all, it’s within living memory that non-whites couldn’t join the army. They were categorised as ‘aliens’ and fears abounded that they would be ‘too conspicuous on the battlefield’. While such notions were, incredibly, held by 20th century minds, they would shock all but a minority today, which is testament to how attitudes have evolved.

Yet there has never been a shortage of black and Asian people volunteering to fight. During World War I, two out of every 10 service people were volunteers from the Indian Subcontinent, the Caribbean and Africa. In World War II, the figure rose to three out of 10 – this included nearly three million people from the Indian Subcontinent – the largest volunteer army in history.

In fact, more World War I soldiers came from India than from Scotland, Ireland and Wales put together. This commitment has been acknowledged of late. In 2002, the Queen opened the Memorial Gates across Constitution Hill at Hyde Park Corner in London to honour the millions from the Caribbean, Indian subcontinent and Africa who contributed so significantly in World Wars I and II. Without their sacrifices, the world may have been very different today.

As well as the Gates, regional war museums and education services have held exhibitions and published literature that tells the stories of those who eagerly left their sunny homelands and families to fight for Britain, many never to return. And there were, of course, the many service personnel from minority ethnic backgrounds, born within the British Isles.

The Ministry of Defence’s website includes a section entitled ‘We Were There’. It details the personal commitment and professionalism of Britain’s minority ethnic service men and women, aiming to promote understanding by showing how those from all over the world fought alongside British forces. It acknowledges that while it is a positive story, "it should be remembered that over many years some of those who served did experience racial prejudice. Despite this they continued to offer their services to help Britain."

Some accounts of bravery and service have inevitably been lost for good, but others are still celebrated. For example, the story of the first black officer of the British Army – Lieutenant Walter Tull – was unheard until relatively recently.

Tull’s father was the son of slave who arrived in England from Barbados in 1876, marrying a local girl. When his mother died, Walter was just seven, and he and one brother were sent to an orphanage when their father’s new wife couldn’t cope with the large family. Tull went on to be one of Britain’s first black professional footballers. He played for both Tottenham Hotspur and Northampton Town. When the World War I was declared, Tull, like many players, joined the Football Battalion.

He was promoted quickly to Sergeant, and in 1916, he fought in the major Somme offensive. Although he developed trench fever and had to return to England, Tull had so impressed his senior officers that they sent him to Scotland for further training and, despite rules stating that no "negro or person of colour" could exercise "actual command" as officers, he was commissioned in 1917.

The 29-year-old and his men returned to France but, on 25 March 1918, in no-man’s land near Favreuil, a German bullet hit Tull in the head. His body was never recovered, despite the efforts of several of his men, who risked heavy machine gun fire to retrieve him.

Another life that is celebrated is that of Subadar Khudadad Khan. He was the first Indian to receive the Victoria Cross. Khan was a 26-year-old Sepoy in the 129th Duke of Connaught’s Own Baluchis, British Indian Army, during World War I. On 31 October 1914 at the front line in France, Khan was in charge of one of two machine guns. The British officer in charge was wounded and the other gun was put out of action by a shell, but Sepoy Khan, although badly hurt, continued to operate his gun after the other five men of the detachment had been killed. Eventually, he was left for dead, but was able to crawl back to his unit. He was awarded the Victoria Cross for his bravery in helping to prevent the German Army reach crucial ports.

Such accounts can be found, if you look, but they can’t negate the bad press that surrounds the treatment of some servicemen and women. At the time of writing, the struggle of the Gurkhas is in the headlines (See News, page 57). Many have handed back hard-won medals and honours to the Government to highlight the fact that pension allowances are less than those of British-born soldiers, as well as that veterans can’t stay in the country for which they helped to secure freedom.

The plight of the Gurkha veterans, who have been awarded an unparalleled 26 Victoria Crosses, has touched many who were previously unaware of the disparity in the way these soldiers are being treated. But while members of the public at least instantly recognise Britain’s strong connections with the Gurkhas – past and present – the same cannot always be said for Indian, African and Caribbean forces.

Hav Major Rajindar Singh Dhatt, 85, (pictured, right) who holds a Burma Star, is a member of the Undivided Indian Ex-Services Association. He says that until recently television coverage never mentioned the Indian Army – instead they would talk about America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. "They ignored us. So, we decided to fight for our recognition and acknowledgement. In 2002, when the memorial was built, it was the best day of all of our lives. What we were struggling for we achieved. We were happy to get that in our lifetime."

While Major Dhatt acknowledges that British officers have "done a lot to help us get these Memorial Gates", he laughs gently as he recalls the differences between the way the Indians and the white British were treated. He doesn’t complain, he simply recounts the disparities in a factual manner. "We played hockey, football, volleyball and basketball and when we mixed with them, we were just like them. But there were differences between our uniforms, living standards and living quarters. We were living in mud-baked huts, and they were in very nice pukka barracks, they had ceiling fans and we had windows – the wind coming through was meant to be enough for us. "Rations were not bad but it was inferior to what the British were getting. So, sometimes we did feel the differences, but at that time they were ruling us."

He also acknowledges that the British officers were "happy if you did mix with them and they were trained in how to behave and about the religions and languages. They were prepared and were trained to do the right thing when they went to India."

Another ex-serviceman is West Indian AC1 Airman First Class RAF, Arthur Leigh, who joined up from Jamaica. He says that things have changed enormously since his days in the forces. The 85-year-old member of the West Indian Ex-Servicemen’s/Ex-Servicewomen’s Association UK (Wiesa) says he doesn’t see the point of dwelling on the negative experiences that some may have had more than 60 years ago.

"There were good times and bad – but we came through. I’ve listened to men giving their version of what happened to them during the war, in the Army, Navy and RAF, and they tend to highlight the negatives of the past. In those days you were put into a flight squadron and told to get on with the job.

"I have no regrets – that’s why I am here in England. If I had any regrets, I wouldn’t be here. I don’t agree with those who have come back and are living here comfortably and are griping about the experiences they had in 1945."

Unsurprisingly, Leigh says he would encourage young people to go into the services, saying that they would gain "discipline and straightening out", adding that the forces offer opportunities in various fields.

Major Dhatt echoes this. He and members of his association visit schools and Sikh temples to tell young people about the war. He describes them as being "very attentive" and curious about their treatment and daily lives.

"When we are interviewed or asked, we always say to the young boys that this is their country, they have to live here and where they live, they have to defend that country. You should join the Army or police. We say they should not just become doctors, lawyers or engineers – don’t miss out the armed forces.

"Some people say there is too much discipline in the Army or discrimination – but we tell them that all these things you have to face. Keep high-spirited and you can be successful.

"We used to go and see [lots of people] but now some of us are housebound and we can’t afford transport. We would like to carry on this duty so that if someone calls us, we can tell them about this country and encourage young people to join the Army."

Corporal Osahan agrees. "I would encourage strongly anyone who wishes to experience a lifestyle out of the ordinary, which is testing day to day, to join the forces," he says.

"If I did ever encounter racism, then the immediate point of contact is my chain of command. If that fails there is an equal opportunities officer I could report to. I am confident that if any such incidents occurred then they would be dealt with appropriately."

But maybe the fact that there needs to be training programmes and specific recruitment drives to attract black and Asian people indicates that this is still an area of concern. Perhaps in the future all service men and women will be able to echo veteran Arthur Leigh, who says: "Of course there were problems but there is absolutely no point in me repeating them. They were the problems of the day and they were resolved."

And perhaps those who remain ignorant will realise that the major conflicts of the last century were – in every sense – world wars and will happily acknowledge the sacrifices made by the millions who came running from distant lands when the mother country called.

BPP "Hardmen" Hit The Pavement

2008-04-20T09:31:00.001-07:00

The Hardline British People's Party, a small band of bedwetting, alcoholic idiots were given a reminder yesterday not to take the people of London for granted. Once more (and as always), the gobby gobshite Peter Williamson was on his toes, leaving his comrades to peel their hardmen off of the pavement.

Welcome to London, BPP scum! And ES, mind out for cars next time you're doing a runner in wet underpants.

This Drunk Wants To Be Mayor!

2008-04-16T09:28:00.000-07:00

The uninvited BNP candidate for the London Mayoral elections, pulled himself out of a pub last week to gatecrash an election night at Friends' Meeting House, Euston.

Porn Producer, idiot and all around lush, Barnbrook stumbled into his seat wearing his unwashed suit and shouted from the back of the room that he had a right to be heard. His main problem was, most could hear him and giggled at what they thought was some old dosser.

Dyslexia may be a common excuse, but even the plonker that is "Tricky Dicky" should have been aware that the only candidates invited were those that worked in the borough of Westminster. (Why they held it in Euston then, is beyond us!)

Just have a look at this drunken troll:

No wonder the dancing ballerina (sic) prefers the tepid advances of the "Leeds Rhino" (that's a reference to his nose, not his cock)to the Barking Idiot.

Update: 'Bitch' Slapped

2008-04-01T13:55:00.001-07:00

BNP Dump Rape Fan

Mr Fister Says: Slap Up This Bitch!

2008-04-01T08:38:00.000-07:00

We do not endorse all of Mr Fister's views, but he has asked to comment on a particular story that has arisen today

A few years ago, an old friend of mine was travelling the Far East and came across an Englishman posing as an "artist" who kept photographing young boys and girls in compromising positions.

He tried to get close to the bloke with the intent of giving him a "Chelsea smile" but was held back by the knowledge that this kiddy fiddling fecker was protected by lots and lots of local coppers who were armed and constantly in this guy's company and who would harm and dispose of anyone for a few quid.

One night he managed to give the guy a slap in the back of the head in a toilet cubicle, but the offending little squirt did a runner into the night, screaming for help as he went before said "Stanley" could be run across his Aryan face.

Anyway, back to the original story in hand:

Nick Eriksen (I know, no wonder the BNP prefer to support Denmark rather than England) is obviously a sordid little shitehawke who is standing for the "Law and Order" party in the London elections. That's right; the Nazi BNP.

Old Nick, true to his Tory roots has jumped shit recently and joined the BNP. I believe the analogy is that he was previously a "small turd in a large toilet", so you get the reasons why he has jumped ship.

Now, I do not know much about the good Aryan Goddess that spawned this evil little monkey, but it would seem that Nick Eriksen has not forgiven her for her sins as he has a right cob-on for the ladies of your fair city.

In most BNP Nutzis, this sickness prevails itself in paedophilia (attempted or otherwise,) having sex toys inserted in one's anus (for security reasons) or plain old alcoholism under the pretence of community activism.

But dear old Nick "can't get a [legal] shag" Erikson has been writing lately about the naughty of all naughties; rape! You know the score; it's a hangable offence, unless a BNP member does it..... In such a case it means "she was asking for it"

Now, potential BNP GLA member Nick Erikson reckons that a woman who has had a man force himself upon her should not complain! Indeed, "rape is simply rape" according to him. He is right, after all. It's not car theft, is it?

But it gets better: "To suggest that rape, when conducted without violence, is a serious crime is like suggesting that force feeding a woman chocolate cake is a heinous offence"

Great stuff. I'm sure plenty of BNP members have been force fed chocolate while puckering up to BNP leader Nick ("I only wanked people off to get ahead in the party") Griffin.

Indeed, Griffin is as yet to defend Erikson, so I can assume that he will be defended in some way like the BNP's rapist in Oldham was:

Take a pic from:
a) The Jews did it.
b) We may have only 5000 members but there is a convicted rapist in one of the other, larger parties.
c) There are 0.8 of a billion Muslims in this world; one of them must be a rapist.
d) The Jews did it.
e) He was "having a larf."

It really makes you wonder, doesn't it? That the BNP would trawl far and wide for pond life "good" enough to present to the public for scrutiny.

And obviously, alongside the drug dealers, paedophiles, bank robbers etc, etc the most presentable thing they could present was someone who only advocated rape, purely as way to get back at all the women in this world that would not shag him.

Good luck London on May 1st: You're gonna need it.

Here you have it; two idiots apparently "defending" British culture. What is "British culture" anyway? If you were to study the inbred antics of the sorry fools that make up the BPP, one would have to surmise it is loafing off of the tax payer for undeserving financial benefit, over-populating social housing with Chav scum offspring and going a little crazy with the cosmetic samples at the make-up counter at Boots.

Pic: No Wonder The 'Aryan Race' Is Dying Out! It's too ugly to fornicate with!

The BPP are the biggest joke in politics. They make the SWP look like a serious alternative to New labour for Christ's sake!

They have almost all been expelled from the BNP for degenerate behaviour.

Take the fat idiot on the right of this picture. He is most famous for getting the living shit kicked out of him by Gay Pride marchers, not long after he had bragged he was going to stop the "poofters" from marching. Prior to that, he was famous for urinating on the sofa of one of his "comrades", not long before the two were to fall out over the division of sexual favours by one of their members who had learning difficulties!

If you want to see the BPP up close and personal next time they are out in London, follow the smell of piss to Borough, south London. That's where the two-bob nonce's have been hanging out lately.

It's a bit unfair isn't it? Just because his missus up and leaves him for a bit of rumpy pumpy with Griffin's rent boy, Dicky has tried to take it out on the Barking rate-payer.

Such an Aryan beauty and all that; but since she's been in Leeds a certain person who would 'normally' allegedly prefer younger ladies has been giving Dicky's missus a sniff.

It seems Simone could be dancing to a different tune.

We would hate to report it here, but let's just say, Griffin may find it a little hard to defend a certain Semitic stud this time!........

Guess What? More BNP Scum At It Again

2008-03-08T12:48:00.000-08:00

BNP member covertly poses as policeman

Daniel Foggo, The Sunday Times

A MEMBER of the fascist British National party (BNP) has infiltrated the Metropolitan police to go on patrol as a community support officer (PCSO).

Ellis Hammond stockpiled a vast collection of racist literature, as well as illegal weapons including a CS spray, eight combat knives, a replica AK-47, a crossbow and a stun gun.

Last week he was convicted of possessing illegal weapons but the case has gone unreported until now. Hammond, 23, from Bexley, southeast London, joined the police about a year ago but lied to the routine question about BNP membership. News of Hammond's record is likely to anger residents of Eltham, southeast London, where he patrolled. Race has been a particularly sensitive issue in the area ever since Stephen Lawrence, the black teenager, was stabbed to death in 1993, sparking years of controversy over police treatment of ethnic minorities.

Hammond's covert activities came to light when post office workers intercepted his mail-ordered Cobra stun gun — an illegal device that can temporarily incapacitate victims. The police launched an investigation last December.

Officers raided his home and found the stash of weapons, the racist literature and also T-shirts, some bearing the insignia of Combat 18, the paramilitary race hate group that takes its name from Adolf Hitler's initials.

Hammond was arrested and bailed on Christmas Eve. He was then placed under surveillance by counter terrorism officers. When he offered his resignation in January it was accepted and he was charged with two firearms offences. He pleaded guilty to both offences at Bexley magistrates' court last Tuesday and was given a one- year conditional discharge.

The PCSO had no previous convictions but sailed through the police vetting process, raising concerns about the adequacy of the system.

"He did not appear to attend BNP branch meetings and the suspicion is that he was keeping a very low profile for a reason, while all the time building up his weapons arsenal," said a source close to the case.

This weekend the BNP claimed its members included dozens of police officers, despite a ban since 2004 on members of any force joining the party. Simon Darby, a BNP spokesman, said: "We have dozens of police members and that is just the ones who tell us what they do. Some of our members are quite senior, above inspector level."

The Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) conceded that some members will have gone undetected.

The failure of the police to bring a successful prosecution for the Lawrence killing was officially blamed on "institutionalised racism" in the force, a charge the Met has since been trying to live down.

Darby said the 2004 ban on police officers and PCSOs from being members of the BNP or the National Front — introduced after a television expos? of racism in a police training college — was unfair.

"If officers were in Hizb ut-Tahrir [a Muslim group] it would be no problem, but anyone found to be in the BNP gets hauled over the coals," he said.

Peter Fahy, chief constable of Cheshire and the Acpo spokesman on race and diversity, admitted it is likely that other BNP members are within the police.

He said: "Given the number of people who work for the police it would be naive to think there aren't one or two who are members of the BNP." But he added: "Overall I'm not aware of it having been an issue. Most staff seem to accept it [the ban].

"If we were aware of anyone who was in Hizb ut-Tahrir I think we might pretty quickly conclude that was incompatible with being a police officer."

Superintendent Martin Mitchell, from Greenwich borough, southeast London, said: "Individuals like Hammond have no place within the Metropolitan police service.

"Where we identify those who are involved in criminality, or who have opinions that conflict with our intention to provide the best quality service to all communities, we will act quickly."

Hammond refused to comment about his conviction: "The case is over and I don't want any publicity, to be honest. I don't want my name put in the paper with BNP on it because that is going to ruin my life because I don't want anyone to know. I'm going to go now because I am getting really annoyed."

For the record, this is what Hammond had stashed away:

1 CS Tear Gas Canister
1 Police style ASP retractable baton
1 pair of Metropolitan Police-issue Handcuffs
I Knuckle-Duster
8 combat knives
DVDs with Hate material on them
Various items of British National Party literature
Some Obscene material
25-30 mainly imported T Shirts from the USA bearing nazi and White Power groups symbols and with hard line racist and nazi slogans on them
4 BB Guns
1 Replica AK 47 Assault Rifle
1 Copy of the Turner Diaries (the US publication that has served as a blueprint for nazi terrorism in the USA)
A British National Party membership card

What Do These Two Know About The Working Class?

2008-03-06T15:14:00.001-08:00

Left: Sneering pig farmer and fascist.
Right: An enemy of the Barking Working class

The question should also be; what does the BBC know about the working class?

Why on earth the BBC should entertain Nick Griffin as some kind of spokesman on the white working class beggars belief, but tonight Newsnight invited Griffin to comment from an earlier almost unchallenged interview,on a studio debate about polling that would suggest the WWC are dissatisfied with their lives, indeed a staggering number indicated as much Was the premise therefore that black and Asian people are happy with their own lot?

Hodge and Griffin both come from privileged backgrounds, while to anyone with two working eyes (and brain cells) can see that class and poverty are still the key issues ignored by this government. They affect the lives of people across the country, black and white, and are used by the BNP to whip up hatred between communities.

Margaret Hodge sincerely believes that a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit goes some way to curing Barking's crippling and divisive housing shortage, while Nick Griffin believes Islam is responsible for the hard drug problem in this country. He offered no proof of this, but then the BBC did not ask him to, either.

The figures of the poll among white working class communities are frighteningly depressing. It was also noticeable that the middle classes polled (presumably white?)had a slightly rosier, progressive outlook on life and their futures.

By using Griffin and Hodge as the key components in the debate the BBC in the words of Sun columnist John Gaunt attempted to "make the white working class look stupid." Both Hodge and Griffin may have actually seen working class people on their farms at some time.

RMT leader Bob Crow is to be commended for his comments(particularly about Hodge) but also about the failure of the Migrant Workers Bill which would have helped enormously in protecting workers from this country and also migrant workers who work here legally, but are underpaid.

What a disgrace the BBC, the BNP and Margaret Hodge are. Morally, politically and socially bankrupt.

Nazi Jill Wants Some Action......

Big Night For The BNP's Caravaggio

2008-02-26T07:51:00.000-08:00

If he's not too pissed, the BNP's very own Caravaggio Richard Barnbrook, should be donning his Asda suit, to explain himself at tomorrow's full Barking & Dagenham council meeting, where the BNP will unveil their pro-Apartheid slash and burn minority budget.

Barnbrook, an alleged thesbian and alcoholic, will be no doubt in full clown mode, using all of his mumbling and bumbling skills as the BNP out Tory the Tories in proposing cuts to services for the young and the aged.

Afterwards no doubt, the pathetic lush and his gaggle of knuckle dragging supporters will hole themselves up in a bar somewhere and have a fair go at pissing up the BNP's London Mayoral election funds.

Does The NF Really Exist?

2008-02-21T14:31:00.001-08:00

Well, they say that they do and local papers love to believe it, but in all likelihood the NF does not.

Only 19 (yes, nineteen!) of their remaining glue sniffers made the annual shuffle to the cenotaph last year-a far cry from the 70' and 80's when they had hundreds and even thousands of marchers.

Over on the Nutzi site Stormponse, the three NF members who go on there have been trying to convince people that they managed to hold a meeting with a staggering 35 people in the south west of the country.

Unfortunately, the only picture they had as proof was of the balding idiot Bernard Franklin, the TV repair man.

Still, it does not stop the NF fooling small town newspaper editors that among other unlikelihoods, the NF can manage to mount vigilante patrols.

The truth of the matter is for the poor remaining idiots still getting their wallets felt by the drunks who cling onto the name NF, that other than the three morons on Stormponse, a pensioner imprisoned on an ASBO and poor old Bernie, that is the National Front.

Pic: Another "huge" NF demo.

Tour of the one-eyed Nutzi continues

2008-02-21T05:49:00.000-08:00

A BNP meeting took place in Stewart Hall, Little Kimble last night (Wednesday.)

Around 60 alcoholic racists heard one-eyed Nazi, Nick Griffin address issues such as immigration and education. Education is a key issue for the BNP-so few of their members have had one. Indeed, Griffin is condidering enrolling half of the party's employees at McDonalds so that they may get a GCSE between them.

Griffin is currently on tour at the expense of party members, to try and rally the remaining drunks and idiots who have yet to defect.

As is usual with the BNP, their drinking session started at around 7.30pm and continued to about 11pm with a number of guests so pissed they could hardly stand up when it came to leave.

Organiser of the local BNP Matthew Tait, lied to the local paper and said membership in Bucks is growing and they now have around 100 members in the area. Tait might be able to organise a piss-up in a brewery, but he obviously cannot count. Perhaps he'll learn that at McDonalds?

The party recently held a meeting in Hastings where the Homo-erotic Griffin said they initially received a frosty reception. Griffin, a Holocaust denier who farms pigs, had held a meeting in the blind person's centre in Hastings, a place where he sort of half fits in.

Hope Not Hate Meeting-Defeat The BNP!

2008-02-21T05:13:00.000-08:00

Just a quick reminder that the next London Hope not hate organising meeting is being held at 6pm on 25 February at the TUC headquarters at Congress House, Russell Street.
A map is available by clicking here.

With the election only 11 weeks away it is vital we begin to organise. Over the next few months Searchlight and its partners are organising a rolling programme of activity.

We are also pleased to announce the support of the Daily Mirror newspaper. The Mirror is producing 750,000 copies of a special London edition and these will be distributed both within the main newspaper but also at dozens of activities over our Weekend of Hope (14-16 March). The final week of the campaign will see the Hope not Hate bus in the capital.

I hope you can make the meeting. The nearest tube stations are Tottenham Court Road and Holborn.

All the best

BNP Get Pissed Again

2008-02-17T01:25:00.000-08:00

Fresh from being told to stop vandalising walls in the borough, the BNP's numero uno piss-pot Richard Barnbrook had another massive drinking session under the guise of a political meeting last night.

Barnbrook and a dozen others soaked themselves in alcohol at the Eastbrook pub in Dagenham. Hi-light was Turkish councillor Rustem putting a dozen Elvis songs on the duke box, before they stumbled out into the cold air.

They all refused a lift home off of Richard. That's not surprising, because who knows what gets put in your drink when you aren't looking. Nobody wants to star in his next movie, after all.

Oxhey Moron Goes To Court

2008-02-15T10:04:00.000-08:00

The leader of a little-known rightwing political party appeared in court on Wednesday to deny a charge of racially aggravated public disorder.

Kevin Quinn, of the Britain First Party, was answering charges relating to an incident in South Oxhey on Saturday, December 1, last year. Watford Magistrates' Court heard Mr Quinn deny using racially offensive, abusive and upsetting language during an impromptu political address at the St Andrews Road shopping precinct.

Flanked in Court One by four other idiots, Quinn, of Ouseland Road, Bedford, pleaded not guilty to an offence under Section 4A of the Public Order Act on the grounds he was most likely a state plant and most definitely in need of protection under the mental health act.

Quinn, as softly spoken as he is in the head, was committed for trial by Crown Court at a date to be confirmed.

It is alleged that after setting up a small, Union Flag covered table, a megaphone-wielding Mr Quinn subjected passers-by to a stream of racially offensive comments in his overly camp voice, during which he branded all Muslims as terrorists and urged other minority groups to return to "their own countries".

'Quim', who has a habit of interviewing himself on his own website is better known for rolling over for the authorities when he was nicked with some other retards in fancy dress, called the Racial Volunteer Force.
