Sharon Ebanks' New Nationalist Party (NNP), desperate to find candidates to stand in the forthcoming local government elections in May, seems to be frantically approaching all and sundry - even the outcasts of the nazi world - to find enough people to stand in order to give her already ailing party (dubbed the 'Dodgy Desperados' by her friends) some credibility on the far-right.Rapists and torturers must not be allowed to rule our pirated authority

Interview with Moazzam Begg

He was abruptly released two years ago, and the British authorities cleared him of any involvement in terrorism related activities within hours. He lives with his family in Birmingham, England, and is currently the spokesperson for the activist website Cage Prisoners. Mr. Begg is the author of “Enemy Combatant: My Imprisonment at Guantanamo, Bagram and Kandahar”. On March 1, 2007, I had the privilege of interviewing Mr. Begg by telephone.

A breakdown of the views held by local Birmingham resident Gina Khan, who claims to be challenging radical islam, but instead seems to have been giving the media all the irresponsible scapegoating they could want. Her views mirror those of the BNP and were she not Muslim herself, you would think they were the words of the far-right!
