BNP target NUJ
Guido | 16.02.2004 23:19 | Anti-racism | London
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.

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

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

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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