BNP Bricked!

An anti-fascist mobilisation was organised to counter a large BNP meeting in Yorkshire last Sunday (27/03/05). BNP security and members cars were attacked with rocks by 30 anti-fascists.

A large BNP (British National Party) meeting was held in a village just outside Halifax on Easter Sunday (27/03/05). The BNP leader, Nick Griffin was present at the meeting, and on the agenda was party strategy for the May elections, and also the demonstration coinciding with Nick Griffin answering his bail at Halifax police station on April 6th.

At short notice, a mobilisation was organised to counter the meeting. Due to police presence on the day, the response to the meeting would have to be short and sweet. So thirty anti-fascists pulled up outside the meeting and within seconds were hurling half bricks and rocks at the BNP security, who ran inside the meeting hall. BNP members cars were smashed (most car insurance doesn't cover vandalism). Job done, and a quick getaway was made. No injuries, or arrests made.

Sounds like you were behaving like those Veritas thugs mentioned a couple of weeks ago, or is thuggery only thuggery if it's done in a cause you personally don't believe in?

Calling anti-fascist action 'thuggery' is litle more than fascist-apologism. I'd rather be called a thug a thousand times than have to sit back and watch a bunch of fascists swagger round my town, intimidate my friends, attack my neighbours, and spread their hatred and lies without opposition.

why the high levels of excitement at being so unaccountable for your destructive actions, so you got away. What is really the difference, they hate and throw bricks at human beings and you hate back and throw bricks at human beings, better build than chuck and if you must chuck be accountable for it - then we's see how high your morals are.
