The BNP does not believe in free and balanced reporting. The BNP uses physical threats to try and intimidate journalists. They put details of journalist whose coverage they don‘t like on race-hate websites, to make them targets of attack.

NUJ members in the north of England have passed a dossier to police on these threats. They are just part of a BNP campaign to silence those who do not agree with their vile racist policies.

But there ARE journalists and newspapers around the country that do investigate and expose the BNP and their lies, and the NUJ applauds and supports them.

The NUJ defends the rights of journalists and stand with others to defend media freedom. The BNP has no respect for media freedom or trade union rights.

We will resist all intimidation by the BNP It is a fascist party. There is no place for racism and fascism in this country.

Opponents of No Platform argue that it is a denial of free speech but this is to misunder-stand both free speech and No Platform. Firstly, free speech is not an absolute and there are laws in Britain which place restrictions on what can be said, so that it is illegal, for example, to incite racial hatred. When fascists are allowed a public platform they frequently use the opportunity to stir up racial hatred and violence against black people, Jews, anti-racists and others.

Secondly, the right to free speech brings with it particular responsibilities, such as not violating other people's freedom. Fascism as an ideology is inherently opposed to free speech, freedom of movement and the right to live one's life without fear or oppression. Freedom of speech is very important, but so is the right to live without fear of the discrimination, hatred and violence that fascism represents. The fascists of today, such as the British National Party, do not really believe in free speech but they will be quick to exploit liberal arguments in favour of it for their own purposes. The BNP uses the mantle of free speech to stir up racial hatred and deny the Holocaust.

Let us not forget that the BNP would deny all black people not only the right to speak but also the actual right to live in Britain.

Members of the BNP have suggested in print that the party would follow in the footsteps of Hitler and the Nazis if it could, and forcibly silence all its opponents through a campaign of intimidation, imprisonment and murder. Writing in The Rune recently, Nick Griffin stated that, if in power, the BNP would execute "the politicians, those in charge of the media, police chiefs and those responsible for creating this multi-racial hellhole". Fascists will manipulate arguments about free speech but the reality is that they would welcome the chance to deny millions of people their own rights to free speech. In a free and democratic society, to allow the BNP and other nazis to cloak their genocidal hatred in the flag of free speech is to degrade and undermine the concept of tolerance.

This is rich, being on Indymedia. While many of the BNP's policies are a little unsavoury, the question arises: if you can legitimately prevent them from speaking because you don't agree with their views, what's to stop them doing the same to you?

Incitement to racial hatred laws may prevent the BNP from saying certain things in their party political broadcast, but "pulling the plug" on them is stepping into the grey areas that US broadcasters have recently been condemned for on various independent media outlets.

if you can't destroy the idiot bnp and similar fascists by your ideas and your actions and work in the community then you are wankers

.. oh but i forgot the left do not do any work or talk to any working class people .. they just patronise us and accuse us of being racists when we complain our wage rates and job security are undercut by cowboy firms using cheap immigrant labour


left = wankers
right = wankers

Dear Bob,
I agree with you.
Come have some revolutionary brew, it's on me. www.subbionic.com

BNP media nuts are going undercover, using forums like Indymedia to discredit anti-racists, pretending they're for free speech, when in fact, they are really regulars of "Stormponce", Redwatch, and other neo-Nazi websites.

Their cover is blown.

Remember Birdwood? She was a typical well-to-do working-class baiting Neo-Nazi.


Birdwood's Neo-Nazi life

Nazi activist Lady Birdwood campaigned against immigration in the 1960s and joined a string of far right outfits.

In the early 1970s she tried to set up a private postal service to break a national strike. Later, she tried to crush the striking miners, with views more hardline than than Thatcher, while in Nazi National Front. At the height of its influence. Birdwood stood as a Nazi British National Party candidate in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, in 1992.

As a Daily Telegraph obituary said, she "did not accept conventional accounts of the Holocaust". She was a Holocaust denier who tried to make out that the Nazis did not murder six million Jews. In 1994 she sent a letter to every MP claiming that Jewish people drank the blood of non-Jewish children.

Apparently her failure to ignite a race war and drive black people out of Britain left her deeply embittered. According to the Telegraph obituary, "She lived in London, in Earl's Court and then Acton. Their multicultural populations were a constant trial to her."

If the pro-fascist tosspot posters on Indymedia (really BNP media peeps), think people will believe them, they should go and chuck themselves off the nearest cliff.

THE NEO-NAZI BNP HATES THE WORKING CLASS.

You can't deny this, losers !!!!!!!!!!

Fascist thought and fascist parties have always had an appeal to the refined and petit bourgeois, from T S Eliot to Lord Haw-Haw and Sir Oswald Mosley to the young Philip Larkin.

Working class people are seen as bait, lackeys to do the dirty work of contriving, dividing minds.

It's the same with today's Neo Nazis.

Even though he doesn't act like he has any grey matter, Nick Griffin has an intelligence, which he uses to cause riots, racism, racial attacks, and he uses to make people fear their fellow man.

A thinking fascist is more dangerous than a drug-addled psycopath, because it aims to delf-replicate like a virus. We are talking serious eugenics shit, here. Have you ever heard of his friends David Duke, or the Pioneer Foundation? Or his German contacts who are SS veterans.

How can the BNP say they aren't fascists? Or has his favourite smear tactic whihc he calls political correct reporting, been twisted on itself.

The "politically correct "Rod Little" media (pioneered by the far-right favouring former BBC journalist, will call asylum seekers anything under the sun, but when it comes to "calling a spade, a spade", the BNP cannot be called, what they most definately are, old-fashioned unreconstitued Nazis.
