A BNP counter demo shocked locals on Kensington High Stree, just round the corner from a pro refugee demo outside the Daily Mails offices.
Locals took exception to the BNP's presence on Kensington High Street. With shouts of "It's My Country - I don't won't Nazis here" and the more straightforward "Fuck Off", the BNP were disabused of the fact that they had any support there.
The Daily Mail has a long and undistinguished history of propogating xenophobia and hatred of foreigners, stretching back to it's support of Hitler during the the 1930's.
If anyone is any doubt of the papers link to current racism, then you only need of read one of the Nazis banners:"Vote BNP, Read the Daily Mail".
Unfortunatley, the people at the Daily Mail demo, weren't 'hand on' anti-fascists, so the nazis continued their demo until 19.00, relatively unmolested. There may have only 15-20 of them, but the fact is that they were able to hold a demo in central London.
