Today the climax of the BNP's national demo was a mere 37 morons holding a less than enthusiastic picket of the NUJ headquarters in north london. Their point? Apparently the media dont give them enough coverage and is racist against whites or something. Not a very impressive turnout for an event that was planned since early January.
Meanwhile a much louder counter demo over the road made up mostly of local tradeunionists (for once) outnumbered the fash by at least 3-1. The counterdemo had been organised by word of mouth since last thursday.

try listening to a few facts please

Please listen to a dissenting voice! A young man was killed here, and the media have all but ignored it. This was a blatent racist attack and it was ignored whereas Stephen Lawrence got lots of coverage. Why is this? Do you think Gavin Hopley's parents, friends, family etc are any less upset than Stephen Lawrence's? Do you think its any less worse for them? Do you think the pain of loosing a loved one is any LESS for his loved ones? Then why does he deserve to be ignored?? If you are truly against racism why is it you allow ignore racist attacks like this clear example when they are against whites. THAT is why people vote BNP because they understand that the mainstream parties and media put political correctness before genuine justice.

THINK ABOUT IT...

This Sunday 15th February marks the second anniversary of the death of white teenager, Gavin Hopley. Gavin was brutally murdered in an unprovoked racist attack by a gang of Asians after he unwittingly walked into the infamous “no-go for whites” zone of Glodwick, Oldham. He was repeatedly beaten for 20 minutes with the use of wooden staves and received a ‘kung-fu’ style kick to the head that put him in a coma, while he lay unconscious his attackers stole his jewellery and mobile phone. He died six days later aged just 19.

No one has ever been brought to account for Gavin’s murder. In 2003 eight Asian men were sentenced to between six and 9 months for violent disorder as a result of the attack. Then in December, the last suspect to stand trial was acquitted, after a ‘witness’ came forward at the last minute after having remembered that the "suspect" was working in his Indian restaurant that night. Now Greater Manchester Police have announced that the investigation into the murder of Gavin Hopley “is now closed.”

Police and media bias

Both the police and the media have shown nothing but utter contempt for Gavin and his family. Even though it is unheard of in English law to close a murder investigation the police have done just that. The media have totally ignored the whole affair, with Gavin’s murder receiving just two articles in the same national daily and a short commentary in the local press in Oldham.

The whole thing smacks of institutional racism. When black teenager Stephen Lawrence was killed in south-east London in 1993 there was a universal condemnation of the Metropolitan Police force for failing to secure a conviction. This led to the infamous MacPherson Report into the murder of Stephen Lawrence and “the lessons learned for the investigation and prosecution of racially motivated crimes". (prelim to the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry)

Thousands of column inches of newspaper space has been dedicated to the Lawrence murder along with hundreds of hours of television and radio time. The murder of Gavin Hopley has hardly been mentioned, even though the circumstances fit hand in glove with those of the Stephen Lawrence murder. This is nothing other than a politically correct media blackout. Neither the police nor their bosses at the Home Office have learned anything other than how to “avoid raising tensions” by ignoring the majority of victims of racist attacks. This is a clear-cut case of blatant police institutional racism.

Stop ALL racist attacks

Maybe the local papers didn't report it heavily because they thought vultures like the BNP would try to make political mileage out of a tragedy.

I can think of quite a few murders that didn't receive a lot of press coverage, the sad fact is that murders are commited with depressing regularity, by all races, sometimes for racist reasons.

so uve proven they are biased

So you think that may have been the reason? Stopping the BNP from making capital out of it? Well firstly if thats true then they have put a POLITICAL BIAS (i.e being against another party, in this case the BNP) ahead of JUSTICE and fair reporting.

Also, what about Stephen Lawrence, you could say there was a case for not giving it MASSES AND MASSES of coverage because people who have it in for whites and want to destroy our institutions to further their own agendas made capital out of his savage murder (i.e the attacks on our police and institutions based on "institutional racism" accusations).

What a load of rubbish

17.02.2004 07:48

Oh look - the BNP press team has turned up! Have you actually got anything to say about the demo itself then? If the BNP could organise this every week then Londoners would have someone to go out and laugh at more often. As for the BNP's apparent conversion to an organisation campaigning against anti-racism - surely the fact that the photos show the same load of hate-filled and racist wanna-be-thugs dreaming about some fictional "white race" tells people everything they need to know, without having to bother with a a load of lies about murder cases etc.

This isn;t the BNP press team actually.

And you're deliberately skirting the issue of the murder of a young man because its awkward for you and isn't convenient in furthering your political ends. See the reds never care when a white person gets attacked, even if he's murdered, even if the investigation is bungled. But if he's black, we never hear the end of it.

Then you wonder why people vote BNP well there's your answer.

stats

Well give us the facts then. how many are people are murdered each year, and how many column inches does each one average? You can't just compare the most highly reported racist murder with another, and claim that proves a trend.

And as far as the media being biased against the BNP goes, well yeah, obviously. Everybody hates the nazis. Did you ask the family of the murdered kid if they minded you using him as a campaigning tool?

MURDER FACTS
I know it sounds strange, but they are really cheering. I have lost the brilliant Independent report which listed the details, but have shown in to so many people that I can remember almost precisely (hance the 'arounds' though). Anyway: around 800 people were murdered in 2002, in the whole of the UK (that's out of around 60 million people). Ten years before the figure had been around 650. MURDER IS NOT HUGELY ON THE INCREASE! IT IS A FREAK OF NATURE! WE ARE NOT A NATION OF VIOLENT KILLERS! HURRAH!

And of course both murders were equally sick. But the fact that a lot more newspaper coverage was given to the murder of one poor boy has nothing to do with which party anyone whould vote for, obviously. The killers have not been brought to 'justice' in either case (which doesn't mean anything either, necessarily, apart from the Brit police not being Hercule Poirot).

Poor BNP people. Thinking that their own lives will get better if they make other people's more miserable.

Murder

My friend was killed on New years day, in a small village near Norfolk. He was white, and so were his attackers, who carried out the attack in the most horrific way. People murder, and it usually makes no difference what colour you were. The attackers in this instance had been moved on and split up by police earlier in the night, and were looking for any kind of trouble. Why the emphasis on colour?

Hopley family 'doesn't support this action in any way'

20.02.2004 21:36

Look at this:-

 http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/NEWSW03.html

And the nazis have the cheek to call us 'disresectful' for apparently interrupting their minute's silence last Monday - the family of Gavin want nothing to do with their ever-so-moral 'campaign'.

As if they don't have enough to deal with without BNP nazis exploiting Gavin's death.

How sickening.

The truth about political correctness

26.05.2005 21:08

It just goes to show that all of people who organised that counterdemo are nothing but a bunch of anti-white racists who couldn't care less about the murders of innocent white people like Gavin Hopley. If ever a black, Asian or some other ethnic person is murdered, they're quick to stand up and start screaming racism! It's obvious that the so-called Commission for Racial Equality and the so-called National Assembly Against Racism don't believe Gavin's murder was racially motivated because he was white. Had he been an ethnic person murdered by whites, there's no doubt his murder would have been labelled as racially motivated. It proves what sick, disgraceful hypocrites people like Trevor Phillips, the CRE and the NAAR really are. Gavin Hopley was a human being just like Stephen Lawrence who had been murdered by white thugs. Gavin was murdered by a gang of Asians simply because he strayed into a predominantly Asian neighbourhood by mistake. The media, simply because of their liberal left-wing politically correct bias, connivingly cover up on the murders of whites and make it look as if the only people who ever commit acts of racism are whites. It also proves that much like Trevor Phillips, the CRE and the NAAR, the media look at white people as worthless scum. How sick!

It just goes to show the whole reason why the BNP organised the Justice for Gavin Hopley demonstration!
