Sheffield reacts to the BNP's bid for power

Last night the Sheffield BNP announced that through offering seats in Sheffield to external members they had been able to field a candidate for every seat in the city.

Today, after just a few hours notice, representatives from both Sheffield and Hallam University along with local communities joined forces in signalling their opposition to the fascist parties bid for votes. In just one hour this morning over 200 leaflets were distributed to students eager to support the cause and a petition calling upon the television channels to, 'pull the plugs on the BNP' received a wealth of signatures. Towards the end of the event the groups were joined by the UAF campaign vehicle in a brief stop off from it's national tour.

Proving Sheffield's universities are still a no go zone for fascists.

diversion

"Unite Against Fascism has created an unprecedented coalition of trade unions, anti-racist organisations and representatives of black, Asian and ethnic minority groups in Britain. Lee Jasper, race relations adviser to the mayor of London and chair of the National Assembly Against Racism (NAAR), is on the steering committee. Billy Hayes, general secretary of the CWU post and telecoms union, is the treasurer. Weyman Bennett from the Anti Nazi League and Sabby Dhalu from NAAR are the joint secretaries. London mayor Ken Livingstone is the chair. Across the board the initiative is gaining a tremendous response from trade unionists and anti-racists, who sense the urgent need to concentrate all our forces against the threat the BNP poses."

it's a sad fact that anti-fascism campaigns only seem to crop up just before elections and are usually a front for the labour party. proclaiming a growing threat of racism or fascism is a good way to divert attention from the really murderous nationalists we ought to be campaigning against: the labour party and the unions who support it.

the labour party: responsible for 100 000 iraqi dead in a war waged for UK national self interest and responsible for a homegrown fake 'war on terror' which has done more harm to race relations than the BNP ever could.

don't vote tory. don't vote labour.

warnings from history

Mm, trouble is that's just what various groups on the Left said in Germany in the 1930s, that Hitler was a joke and the Nazis a diversion from the real enemy (capitalism).

And they kept right on saying it until the Nazis were in power and carted them all away...

If the BNP were 5% as bad as you say, would you post this picture on here for them to identifie the UAF protestors, because these people would not stand any chance whatsoever against the thugs you portray.
Nice one !

The very excitable Marx is either very ignorant of the reality of the BNP and needs to have a browse of Redwatch, or they have an ulterior motive behind posting.

no one on the left in the 30s would have said hitler was a joke. the nazi party won 107 seats in government in 1930 with hitler as their leader. your comparison is a fake.

Just what the BNP wanted!

A photo of foreign looking students is just what the BNP want. Does anyone honestly think that this is the way to beat the BNP. After the recent bombings, the British are even more susceptible to the BNP's propaganda, and you portray a bunch of Asian looking students as an alternative.

Will you evr learn the psychology behing political warfare?
