Protest at fascist Griffin in Leeds

unite | 15.05.2005 16:35 | Anti-racism

Nick Griffin is in Court - join the protest against the fascist leader!

Dear Friends,
The leader of the fascist BNP along with other Nazi supporters, Mark Collett and John Tyndall will appear before Leeds Magistrates court on Thursday 19th May. They will be answering charges of race hatred following the BBC’s undercover investigation “Secret Agent”. In the
general election voters showed that they didn't want the racist politics of the BNP to represent them.

Demonstrate against the fascist BNP and show your opposition to the race hatred that the BNP try to spread.
Thursday 19th May 12.30 Magistrates Court, Westgate, Leeds

Please advertise this as widely as possible and help us publicise the demo.
Thanks
Leeds Unite Against Fascism.

No Platform for the BNP! We must protest against the Judge for giving the BNP a platform in court! They will use the platform to stir up racial hatred. When the BNP won a councillor racist attacks went up by 300000000%.

We must not allow the BNP to have a platform in court, they should be forced to wear a red+white+blue triangle and send to the Goulag instead on suspicion, by anarchist-commie politburo..

I'd be more inclined to believe these accusations that Unite Against Fascism are 'parasites' if there was any other visible opposition to the BNP. In most areas it's UAF or nothing - who exactly are they 'parasites' on?

Unity Not Disunity

17.05.2005 09:21

We need unity -

You're either for fascism or against it.

Many of the sarcastic, let's bad-mouth Unite b*llshit comes not from anarchists or fringe socialist movements, but from the fat arses of the BNP candidates, who surf the web, pretending to be people they aren't, dissing all opposition to fascism.

YOUR COVER IS BLOWN, COLLETT, YOU CRIMINAL LOSER!!!

YOU'RE EITHER FOR OR AGAINST NEO-NAZIS.



Mark Collett Pleasures Himself To Pictures Of Adolf Hitler


BNP "Members" Hijack Indymedia - Lets Make Fun Of Neo-Nazis

17.05.2005 09:39

The unfunny remark by the person who calls himself" no platform" purposely trivialises the danger posed by neo-Nazis.

Racist attacks haven't risen by 30000000 (however many naughts your thick as shit brain thinks it's funny to add.

Racist attacks have actually risen since the BNP won seats in Burnley.

They also conducted homophobic hate campaign against a gay pub in Burnley - which is very hypocritical....

What is funny, is the picture of Mark Collett masturbating to a picture of Adolf Hitler.

I wish he would soon be doing this in a prison cell, but the law is weak on the incitement to racism.

I hope the BNP supporters awaiting him to leave the court have some lubrictaed Kleenex ready....

Griffie Babes, You Neo-Nazi Whore

17.05.2005 09:46

Griffin comes from a wealthy family with a history of involvement in right-wing politics. His father, Edwin, a Conservative Party official in Halesworth, admits to having attended National Front meetings in the past. Griffin's sister also stood as an NF candidate in a Suffolk county council election. His mother is the administration secretary of the BNP and was a candidate in the 2001 general election.

Griffin was taken to his first NF meeting at the age of 15 by his father, but did not officially join the party until he was a student at Cambridge University, where he studied law. Griffin was quick to rise up through the ranks of the party, becoming the national organiser by 1978.

In 1980, Griffin launched Nationalism Today with the help of Joe Pearce, a convicted racist and editor of Bulldog. Nationalism Today became the springboard for the Third Positionist ideas that the NF later adopted. Through Nationalism Today, Griffin and Pearce were able to formulate the idea that a "third way", or "third position", was needed to transcend the evils of both capitalism and communism, both of which they claimed were rooted in a similar ideology of concentrating private ownership in very few hands, infringing on the right of independence of nation states and, most fundamentally, being Zionist (that is, Jewish) controlled.

Directly challenging the traditional style of organising, which the Third Positionist wing of the NF saw as pro-capitalist, the Griffin faction wanted to create a political elite. Based on the blood and soil philosophy of Julius Evola, an Italian National Socialist who was closely aligned to the German and Austrian leaders of the SS, Griffin and the NF began to develop their anti-capitalist and Third Positionist ideas, also inspired by the Strasserites, the 'brownshirt' wing of the German Nazi party.

Friends with Italian terrorists
A strong influence on Griffin's political development was the Italian fascist Roberto Fiore, a convicted terrorist. Fiore had arrived in Britain with several other wanted terrorists including people implicated in the bombing at Bologna railway station in 1980, which killed 85 innocent people, including a British young couple. Fiore belonged to the Italian Third Positionist NAR.

At first Griffin tried to deny his links with the Italian terrorists. But in 1984, Searchlight exposed his connection with Heritage Tours. Heritage Tours was headed by Griffin and Michael Walker, the editor of Scorpion. Fiore regularly frequented Walker's flat, where Heritage Tours was based. Griffin has also been a frequent visitor. A further connection is that Griffin's father is Fiore's personal and business accountant.

Strange bedfellows
The NF embraced the ideology of the Third Position as the Griffin faction took control, but they soon began to make some strange alliances. The "political soldiers" wing was meeting representatives of Colonel Gaddafi's regime through the Libyan People's Bureau in London, and expressing support for it and for Ayatollah Khomeini. Writing in Nationalism Today in 1985, Griffin praised the black separatist Louis Farrakhan, saying, "white nationalists everywhere wish [Farrakhan] well, for we share a common struggle for the same ends: Racial Separation and Racial Freedom". Unsurprisingly this did not go down too well with rank and file members of the NF.

During this period, Griffin took an all-expenses-paid trip to Libya, along with Derek Holland, as guests of the Gaddafi regime.

As National Front News wrote at the time: "Common interest must be turned into practical cooperation. Those involved must work to nail the media lies which are used by our enemies to try to divide us and make us afraid to be seen standing side by side with Third Way nations such as Libya and Iran."

In 1989, Griffin left the NF and formed the International Third Position, a crazy and fanatically Catholic fascist group. The ITP campaigned against Coca Cola, McDonald's, urbanisation and "Zionism" (the Jews).

His involvement was not to last. In 1991, after a failed business venture which cost another member several thousand pounds, Griffin went his own way.

Political chameleon
In 1995, Griffin joined the BNP. He had become editor of The Rune, an antisemitic quarterly produced by Croydon BNP. Griffin was opposed to attempts to modernise the BNP, accusing those who wanted change of "rainbow Conservatism". He also announced that the BNP should prioritise denying the Holocaust to schoolchildren.

Five years on, Griffin has undergone a political transformation and now claims to be at the vanguard of attempts to make the BNP respectable. The ITP has been baffled by his political gymnastics, as it reported in its email newsletter: "He has been a conservative, a revolutionary nationalist, a radical National Socialist, a Third Positionist, a friend of the 'boot boys' and the skinhead scene, a man committed to respectable politics and electioneering, a 'moderniser'. Which is he in reality? Perhaps he has been all these quite sincerely - in which case his judgement is abysmal; or perhaps he has been none of them sincerely - which speaks for itself!"

Griffin joined the BNP in 1995, and immediately had designs on a leadership position. He became the editor of Spearhead, then the BNP's magazine, from 1996 until his split from John Tyndall, the former BNP leader, at the end of 1999.

Throughout his time with the BNP, Griffin has tried to distance himself from the bizarre politics of the NF. He claims to have left the NF in 1989 because the party was "bedevilled by religious cranks. It was with great sadness that I made the decision to leave."

Griffin has spoken of the need for community-based politics to build respectability for the BNP in the eyes of voters. Yet it was only four years ago that Griffin wrote in The Rune: "The electors of Millwall did not back a Post-Modernist Rightist Party, but what they perceived to be a strong, disciplined organisation with the ability to back up its slogan 'Defend Rights for Whites' with well-directed boots and fists. When the crunch comes, power is the product of force and will, not of rational debate."

Griffin the antisemite
Griffin has also closely followed the BNP and neo-nazi tradition of antisemitism. A Griffin publication, Who are the Mindbenders?, claims to prove that the minds of British people are brainwashed through Jewish control of the media. The booklet includes a list of all known Jews working in the media as though they are working together for a joint cause. He proves Jewish control of the BBC by naming a mere 19 Jews who work for the corporation.

Griffin the Holocaust denier
In 1996, Griffin launched a vicious attack on the Holocaust denier David Irving for admitting that some people might have died in the Holocaust. "True Revisionists will not be fooled by this new twist to the sorry tale of the Hoax of the Twentieth Century," Griffin wrote.

In another article he said, "I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that 6 million Jews were gassed and cremated or turned into lampshades. Orthodox opinion also once held that the earth is flat… I have reached the conclusion that the 'extermination' tale is a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda, extremely profitable lie, and latter-day witch-hysteria." (Carlisle Two Defence Fund Bulletin.)

In 1998, Griffin was found guilty of distributing material likely to incite racial hatred, for which he received a two-year suspended jail sentence.

Griffin has also held staunchly homophobic views throughout his time at the BNP. Following the bombing of a gay pub in Soho, in which three people died, Griffin wrote, "The TV footage of dozens of 'gay' demonstrators flaunting their perversion in front of the world's journalists showed just why so many ordinary people find these creatures so repulsive".

Yet Griffin's hypocrisy was starkly highlighted when he was outed by Martin Webster, the former NF organiser, as having a secret gay past.

Griffin is a typical fascist - a man for all people. He is also an outrageous opportunist. There is not a bandwagon or campaign he would not exploit or a political belief that he would not jettison if he thought he could benefit personally.

Egg That Wanky Little Cherry Picker (off-camera)

I suppose the neo-Nazi BNP will send that wanky-looking "cherry picker" around the courthouse entrance, to drown out the anti-racist protestors.

How clever is that, Hitler-worshipping tosspots?

I wander how many eggs kids chuck at that pathetic little crane, while it drives around the streets of Yorkshire and Lancashire?

Rub Some Oil On, Griffie Babes

The BNP are so deliciously kinky.

Attention, racist blogger dearies posing as anarchists.

I'll say this, boys, it's hard when visiting that stormtrooping neo-Nazi website not to get wet, when you see that white supremacist Viking imagery, and you smell the rubber and leather.

And the KY jelly..

You'll have to excuse me if you're squeamish, or only just getting into the lifestyle (a newbie Daily Mail reader, or something)

A self-flagellating BNP voter like me, can't the picture out of my mind, while I hum "rule brittania", with a carrot with a stick-on union jack conveniantly rammed up my rear end.

I can picture Nick Griffin now, prancing aound Pythonesque in a Viking helmet, wearing tights, lashing me with a wet copy of Mein Kamph.

Then there's that sordid little garage owner from Queensbury whose family came from Ireland - Cromie, who is betraying his Irish heritage by supporting English fascism, the extreme-right wing forefathers of the English establishment resdponsible for millions of deaths in the Irish Potato Famine. Shame on you, possum...

The neo-Nazi scene is so full of shitty hypocrites, it mings bigtime....

Don't you remember the signs "no blacks, no Asians, no Irish"???

I don't need help. No golly. I'll just start working as a London taxi driver, cherubs.
When the dream falls flat, and the "suited jackbooters" end up in jail, you can always start fretting about the "good old days" before Nick Griffin.

Before I go, sweeties (yes, get all homophobic on my ass)!!!, lol, ...(we all know in every gay-hater is a butch cherub waiting to get out), I'll leave you with a thought - why do white supremacists worship the white skin so much ahead of everything else in their lives?

You can see the red marks after a kinky spaking orgy.
Hey, world conspiracists: -

The BNP control the fetish clubs worldwide.

"A proud white supremacist who will do anything to see this great country do anything to get rid of all ethnic minorities." Mark Collett's "Friends Reunited" entry.

So Collett is now happy at calling himself a white supremacist?

Remember the moral of the story, folks - the BNP are proud to be neo-Nazis.

THAT IS OFFICIAL!!!!!!

HITLER BOOKS

19.05.2005 16:49

The sinister psychopath who brought the world the religion of Hitler Worship, Mr Lewthaite, brings you "Hitler's books",

Ugly ponce, Dr James Lewthwaite, 52, the cocksure BNP councillor for the Wyke ward, used to run publishing company Shelf Books, specialising in Nazi literature.
The BNP website claims in large letters on its home page: "We are not racists, Nazis or thugs."

But Shelf Books says on its website that it concentrates on the battles of World War Two from the German perspective, titles including Nordic Warriors, Breaking the Chains, and SS-Flak.

Nordic Warriors profiles the "dedicated fighters for Hitler's New European Order, whose last days were spent battling to defend the Fuhrer".

Iron Horsemen, an account of the latter stages of the Battle of Stalingrad priced at £12, offers a free Third Reich Panzer Music CD worth £12.99.

Estonian Vikings is described as "a brief tribute to the soldiers of Battalion Narwa".

Publicity blurb on Shelf Books' website says the accompanying photographs "give a good impression of the calibre of soldiers that manned SS-Panzergrenadier Battalion Narwa as they fought for the freedom of their Baltic homeland and for the cause of European civilisation."

Shelf Books also publishes fiction. Its Jackboot series of novels have such titles as Death in Normandy, Red Eagle and SS-Kampfgruppe Peiper.

Shelf Books uses a Coventry-based company with unashamedly Nazi sympathies as its main distributor. UFC, which lists only a post office box as its contact address, boasts on its website: "We have literally scoured the world to find you what we believe is the world's most comprehensive listing of books on National Socialism and Fascism". The company's trademark resembles a Nazi swastika.

UFC says its books are "free from the usually offensive propaganda smears of the established print houses." As well as distributing Shelf Books titles, it offers CDs described as "the world's most comprehensive collection of period recordings from National Socialist Germany and Fascist Italy."

Also on offer are full-sized polyester Nazi flags emblazoned with a swastika. "Suitable for flying, wall drapes and as a stunning backdrop to your collection," says its website.

Other products for sale include hand painted porcelain statues of Adolf Hitler giving a Nazi salute. "All of these items are made in England by masters of their craft," advises the website.

Dr Lewthwaite, who trained as an archaeologist at Caius College Cambridge, gained a first degree, a master's degree and a PhD at the prestige university. Between November 1983 and October 1984 he was a research assistant in the Department of Archaeological Sciences at Bradford University.

He is listed as the BNP's assistant organiser in Bradford.

He is employed as a security officer in Wakefield.

Dr Lewthwaite, a recent recruit to the BNP, featured in a newsletter titled Wyke Patriot which was also distributed in Low Moor and Oakenshaw.

said that Shelf Books was moribund and had not traded since 2001. "I have relinquished any interest in the company," he said.

Asked about the still active website, Lewthwaite lied: "It must be operated by someone else."

Seriously believing they're collecting a photo library of political opponents they will kill, "when they win control of Britain", the sad cocks*ckers of the BNP thought it was big and clever to run across the road, with their toy cameras, and photograph every single protestor like their middle name was Goebels.

Surely this couldn't be the work of a political party by the true definition of the word.

Even the Tories don't go around, making hitlists of everybody and anybody that opposes them.

Listen up, you Hitler-worshipping twats, if you want people to believe you're no longer reading Mein Kamph, stop behaving like demented secret policemen, and start behaving with at least a twinkling of normality.

I know it's hard for BNP candidates not to make "so-called" jokes about Auschwitz, and not to make "monkey noises" at football games, but at least you could make a fuck@ng effort, before the men in the white coats come to take you away, once and for all.

Obviously you're all suffering from inferiority complexes, which is why you turned for a quick power fix (Hitler was a failed painter, remember). But there's no need to act like complete and utter dipshits, like Nick Cass was doing.

Did rather too many kids in the Thornhill Estate in Dewsbury make fun of him???

As sympthetic as I might be towards the evils of bullying, there's no way anyone in their right mind can feel sorry for such a prick.

As the "Adams Family" that are the British Nazi Party, are shunted away to the nearest mental asylum (asylum Seeking, eh??? - NOW THAT IS FUNNY), spare a thought for the endgame of Mr Copeland.

The fat geezer with the Tesco carrier bag looked well creepy. He had a paedophile-like stare.

Does this zombie really any other friends apart from you lot?

Come on, neo-Nazis!!!

Stop taking the f*cking piss.........

I bet you don't believe me, but it's true, Nick. Your so-called friends are not your frends, at all. They know you are a loose cannon and they exploit you for kicks. You are so funny, when you get mad, the way you waddle around like a complete mentalist prat....

The Good Doctor "Lewthwaite" was looking and pointing towards you, when you started acting "all mental".

Not that I care less. You are all scum, not worth caring about. You can be a sideshow freak for all I care.
