Protest against asylum seeker centre

"Protest against the illegal immigrant centre near Bingham, Nottingham on 6th June 2002, estimate of over 1,500 present.
When I first arrived, a left wing extremist woman was screaming and waving a placard at someone wrapped in a union flag. She nearly hit him with it so he grabbed it off her and it broke. She went off in a huff shrieking, "that ladies and gentlemen is **** for you!".
The event was shown on the ITV Central News and BBC1 Local News
Apart from the minor Socialist Worker scuffle, the protest was completely peaceful as expected."

Nazis try to hijack protest

I have nothing against refugees, they are not a big problem. The real problem is that council housing in my town is being privatised and that the railways are messed up. Refugees should be treated with compassion. So should the majority of people in this land - at the moment we are being robbed of the pensions, healthcare, education services and everything that we won after the war.
The refugee thing is a media scare, encouraged by corrupt politicians of all parties looking for easy scapegoats for their failure. Loads of people can see this. Loads still have compassion in this world.
The BNP and groups like them have no sense of human decency. Behind their new 'respectable' veneer you will soon find their sicko Hitler loving core ideology. I know this from experience.
So what? A few Nazi perverts try to hijack a community protest. Its about time the community told them to sling their hook.

On the demo, only a few kids held the BNP placards (which were crude racist propaganda). Most locals shunned them. The majority of placards on view were politically neutral community campaign placards against a detention camp. Full stop.
Local people who objected to the detention camp because it persecutes refugees were also visible in numbers. So were some refugees themselves - all were welcome. Bingham people are not crazed racial-fascist extremists like the BNP. They just dont want this imposed on their community, quite rightly.
The government should abandon its racist policy of detention camps.
If the BNP came to power, they would build hundreds of detention camps (and worse). Would they care about local feeling then? Did Hitler consult the local residents association before building Auschwitz?
Get real, BNP loosers!
