12-09-2012 14:55
As the NF work themselves up into a frenzy about the importance of their national demonstration in Skegness, we thought it might be good to let the world know what a bunch of Nazi dregs will be turning up on Saturday.
Kev Watmough
Aging Nazi from West Yorkshire, renowned for grassing up his fellow fascists and running away whenever militant anti-fascists turn up to give them a kicking. Kev is the man behind Nazi hitlist website Redwatch, which posts pictures and the personal details of people who turn up to anti-racist and trade union events in the vain hope that other fascists will do something about them. He has quite a history of involvement with fascist groups in Leeds and Bradford, including the BNP and Combat 18. More recently he was the leader of Nazi groupuscle, the British People’s Party, best know for paedophilia and bomb making. Oh yeah, and opposing hip-hop… no, seriously.
In recent times the BPP seems to have imploded over the involvement of one of its few remaining members with a Chinese Nazi. Obviously such dangerous race mixing could not be allowed by Kev. Because, like most far right factions these days, the BPP has hardly anyone in it, in recent times Kev has been cosying up to the National Front, North West Infidels, Combined ex-Forces and anyone that’ll have him. Needless to say, his reputation as a grass mean that he has many enemies even within the fascist movement, such as the author of the “White Lies!” blog:
This blog deals with Kevin Richard Watmough who has systematically damaged the movement here in the UK and will expose him for what he is. A Liar, A Cheat, A Rapist and long time Agent Provocateur.
Shane “Diddyman” Calvert
Best mates with Llama abuser, John Snowy Shaw, and number 2 in the North West Infidels, Shane Calvert AKA Diddyman, has been getting excited about a weekend in Skeggy. Best known for climbing on a roof in full camo gear to say that paedos should get the noose or something, Blackburn’s Diddyman was also recently arrested for smashing up his ex’s house in Hartlepool. Probably realising the NWI are going nowhere, he has been trying to make links with the NF (also going nowhere) so that they can at least have a bit of company on their pointless journey.
Loyalist fascists
A number of those going to Skegness demonstrate their admiration of loyalist terrorist groups such as “Ulster Volunteer Force”, named after the paramilitaries who carried out bombings on civilian targets in Northern Ireland, and “Johnny Adair” named after the Ulster Defence Association commander also responsible for massacres of civilians. “Johnny Adair” is also a member of Liverpool Irish Fascists.
Miscellaneous Nazis
A number of other openly fascist skinheads have also notified their attendance including Leicester fan of Nazi band, Section 88, Sean Guilford and Ade Brooks, a Manchester NF bonehead and admirer of Hitler-worshipping paramilitaries, the British Movement, and white power gig organisers, Blood & Honour.
As you can see, this bunch are very keen on protecting animals and aren’t racist. Honest.
In good news on Skegness, Bristol Animal Rights have published this excellent statement clearly rejecting the far right’s attempts to use animal rights as a cover for xenophobia and racism:
The focus on halal slaughter is a sign of racial and cultural discrimination. When the U.K homes battery farms and companies like the East Anglian Pig Company (exposed by Animal Equality early in 2012) it cannot be argued that halal is “more cruel” than other practices in the UK. Instead, it gives fire to sentiments spread by far-right organisations such as the British National Party, National Front, English Defence League and others, who disguise racial hatred as patriotism, or in this case, animal rights. They have no interest in genuine animal liberation, only pushing their own political agenda.
They conclude:
We believe that groups struggling for animal liberation should have militant anti-fascism as an intrinsic part of their politics, and wherever and whenever fascism appears it should be met with strong opposition.
There has also been the announcement of a counter-demonstration against the NF’s planned demo.

Statement from Peace Strike "Vigil for Iran"
11-09-2012 10:55
STATEMENT FROM PEACE STRIKE “VIGIL FOR IRAN”
WHY WE NEED A NEW MODEL FOR THE PEACE MOVEMENT.
On Wednesday 12th of September, from Parliament Square, Peace Strike will launch the “VIGIL FOR IRAN” This is a pre-emptive campaign to prevent a war with Iran.
We welcome campaigners, concerned citizens and anyone who cares for peace and justice, to join us for the initial two hours from 5-7pm to establish a weekly peace presence that will build up and spread to other strategic locations in and around Westminster and Whitehall.
We welcome campaigners, concerned citizens and anyone who cares for peace and justice, to join us for the initial two hours from 5-7pm to establish a weekly peace presence that will build up and spread to other strategic locations around Westminster and Whitehall.
The aim of the campaign is to unite supporters, and bring together differenr diverse groups and individuals so that our presence will be peaceful, powerful and effective. We wish our presence to be felt by the political powers, in order that they will have no option but to listen to us and take on board our concerns.
As well as acknowledging our concerns, we want them to ACT on them and CHANGE any plans they have for war.
A PRE-EMPTIVE ATTACK ON IRAN WOULD BE ILLEGAL.
So far, to date, there is no evidence that Iran has nuclear weapons capabillity. Even if they were to have the ambition, this in itself would not be illegal. What would be illegal would be a pre-empt war of aggression that in no way could be legally justified.
DOES IT MATTER?
DOES ANYONE CARE ANYWAY?
It would seem at times, that many people in our communities are beyond caring obout anyone but themselves. We live in selfish times, we are all aware of that. We suffer the consequennces every day in our own lives. If we don't care about each other, why then should we care about others, especially if we don't know them.
YES, OF COURSE IT MATTERS!
YES, WE DO CARE!
If we knowingly allow injustice to occur and go unchallenged, in our own lives and communities then we are allow ourselves to become 'part of the problem'. We have to, at some point take responsibility and work for change for the greater good. It is easy to see why young people in the UK are so frustrated and isolated within communities. The governments of the world spend so much time and energy exploting and killing defencless people simply because of geographic location and resouces. We ourselves become victims, as knowledge of the truth hurts. Being aware oof these problems in itself is not enough. We have to do something positive to make the change. Its up to us the ordinary grass roots citizens to unite and 'BE A PART OF THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE'
If a pre-emptive attack was launched on an Iranian nuclear site, then the very minimum amount of people to be killed initially would be in the region of 100,000. Iran would retaliate.
After this, no one would know when it would end.
This action would effect the whole of the Middle East and have major repercussions globally. The media propoganda would have us hating anyone who looked Iranian, even though they were attacked and would have been forced to defend themselves. There would be retaliation in this country and we would see communities turn against each other. At some point we would have to rely on the authorities to save us from each other. The irony would be that we would then be grateful to a government for saving us and our communities, even though they ignored our wishes not to go to war! The governments fear an uprising so would manipulate the situation so that we would turn on each other!
MILITARIZATION
Endless war would mean that young people would eventually be called up to do their duty for our country. Patriorism would be called for and those not willing would be seen as disloyal and untrustworthy.
IRAQ /AFGHANISTAN PEACE MOVEMENT 2002....2012.....
We have been down this road before, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza, Libya, Syria.....
Pakistan is being being continually bombed and is not mentioned as a counrty at war, we just go ahead unchallenged. To date, we have not stopped any wars. The will of the people has never been strong enough to succeed. Our weakness is that we are easily divided.
PRE-EMPTIVE PEACE ACTION TO PREVENT WAR
The “Vigil for Iran” plan is to start small and get bigger each week. It is grass roots lead and is non-partisan. We are not affilliating ourselves with any Iranian political parties. As concerned citizens our duty is to the famillies and civilian population that would be victims if such action were undertaken.
PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN A CURE.
We are not prepared to accept war as the answer to making peace and establishing freedom and democracy!
THE LINE IS DRAWN.
We refuse to be complicate in any more war. We demand an end to war and our troops brought home.
The “Vigil for Iran” promotes peaceful action and is peaceful in its intent.
Please join us every Wednesday between 5-7pm either at Parliament square in London or in a solidarity action of your own organizing.
We need to establish now to be effective in rallying the masses. We have to influence and inspire people to promote confidence so that we are strong in our movement. We will not be deceived again nor will we be divided by properganda.
If all else fails and we are ignored we will go on STRIKE.
