Oppose Griffin's Racist Lies

Down With Neo-Nazi Losers - | 20.04.2005 22:45 | Sheffield

Stop the incitement to racial attacks. No mouthpiece to kinky Griffin!!!

Protest against the British National Party's party political broadcast and call on the BBC to pull the plug on race hatred

BBC1 and BBC2 are set to transmit the first party political broadcast by the BNP in the general election campaign on Thursday 21st April. The BBC is not obliged under the law to transmit the broadcast. There are precedents for restrictions being put on the fascist and racist BNP - its previous broadcasts were either stopped entirely or subject to severe restriction due to their offensive content. Wherever the BNP have a presence, racist attacks increase. Prominent members of the BNP including its leader Nick Griffin have recently been charged under the section 18 of the Public Order Act which outlaws incitement to racial hatred.

A letter will be handed in, calling on the BBC to not to broadcast the BNP's message of race hate.

Journalists Under Seige By BNP Supporters

20.04.2005 22:58

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.

The people of this country do not need to be protected from BNP party politcal broadcats by the likes of the NUJ. The BBC should broadcast all PPBs. If the BBC starts picking and choosing which PPBs to broadcast, then democracy is dead. I've no time for the BNP, but I don't like authoritain, lefty organisations like the NUJ and the BBC censoring what I see or hear.

They advertise for staff in the Guardian, and they are not left wing? Anyway, they should broadcast all PPBs. They are not a private organisation, free to publish or not publish what it likes, they are a financed by the public (whether they like it or not) so they should give airtime to all sections of the public.
