How can people who 'leather other people big style' because of their political thinking call them selves anti-facists? This is how wankfucks like Stalin/Trotsky Mugabe and Saddam Hussein behaved.

I have heard about a BNP leader getting leathered and his leg broke by a mob of 20 anti-fash in Yorkshire , anyone got any info

silly little man

Please support this important protest

The BNP are mobilising their entire national membership for Tin-Pot-Fuhrer Griffin's court appearance, trying to pretend that he has mass support in Yorkshire.

So it's vitally important that people from Yorkshire especially turn out to say no, we reject your Nazi poison. That's why UAF and the TUC are pulling out the stops for this protest.

You may feel stronger action is needed against fascist groups. Fair play. But coming on this protest doesn't stop you doing other stuff too. Please try to attend.

Please bring union & other banners if you can - and if you need transport, try your nearest local UAF group or local TUC / Trades Council.

Second UAF demo announced - Keighley, Sat 5 Nov

21.10.2005 11:43

Urgent news from UAF - the BNP are now mobilising for a second demo in Keighley on sat 5 Nov - same day as UAF Conference, sly Nazis.

The timing (start of Eid) inflammatory rhetoric ("Muslims = Paedos"??!!??) and their intention to build a huge bonfire and set off fireworks, all adds up to the obvious conclusion they plan to spark a riot, presumably in the hopes of boosting their flagging fortunes.

So UAF have postponed the Conference and will be mobilising for a mass, peaceful counter-demo. 5 Nov, 12pm, Keighley, assembly point to be confirmed, keep checking website:

(This is only three days after the Leeds demo but if anything is even more important. Please don't try to pick between them, organise for both!)

Riot-Causing Neo-Nazis Aren't Democratic Either

25.10.2005 16:02

To reply to Sarah,

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Neither is organising rioting, democratic.

neo-Nazis can't help it. They have to cause riots, and will keep on doing so, until they are safely behind bars.

The BNP Marching through Keighley is hardly the action of a democratic party displaying fairness and accountability.

They don't care if Keighley flares-up. Come to think of it, that is probably their aim, being racist criminals.

The sooner Nick Griffin is peeling prison potatoes, and slipping on soap in the prison showers, the better.

If there wasn't a counter demo, who would be there to protect local people from firework-toting Nazis.

The Oldham and Burnley Riots were caused by drunken neo-Nazis who weren't opposed strongly enough.

Properly organised, Peaceful anti-racist protests are called vigilance.

Griffin Is A Wnaker!!!

I don't understand

25.10.2005 16:12

Sorry for being confused, Madam.

What does politics stand for???

Does "politics" refer to allowing evil people to win???

Should Churchill in his darkest hour have said "fighting Nazi forces was "undemocratic"???

How about the anti-racists of London, who amassed in the streets, and defeated Mosley.

Or should Martin Luther King said, oh, the Klan are just "doing their demoractic rights" and let them march through the deep South for evermore.

Shame on you, Sarah.

Anti-Fas

BNP Neo_nazis are posting with Indymedia.

25.10.2005 16:17

Who do so many undercover neo-Nazi apologists flock to Indymedia???

Sarah (or whoever you really are), there's nothing democratic about causing riots like the BNP do.

Only the guile of Hitler worshipping losers, would defend the neo-Nazis with the tire and worn "democracy" slur on anti-fascism.

Indeed. Shame on you.

Honesty Please!

27.10.2005 16:02

I think the people who post on this site need to be a bit more honest. Having checked for reference the BNP site i cannot find an article saying they are going to cause a riot or are going to be armed with fireworks.

The BNP was not in Bradford but the ANL were when the riots kicked off. Why would UAF want to be in an area where they suspect a riot is going to take place.

Seems a bit daft to me.

More honesty please about your intentions and your opponents intentions.

this afternoon's rally

02.11.2005 13:36

Unfortunately i was only *at* the rally for ten minutes, as i had to fill in at work unexpectedly and that was all the time they could spare me for. Managed to watch it from our office window though, it was so heartening to see the amount of people who turned out. Lots of polices but no trouble as far as i could see.

zoe

Saucy and honesty...

02.11.2005 17:43

I'm not saying you definitely are a closet fascist, you could just be thick. In general, very few people take the time to politely advertise riots where the police could see them. I don't want riots, but if they do take place, surely it's better for the nazis to be confronted by an organised opposition than for them to have free reign? Anyway, as I understand the Keighley thing's be cancelled now, so it's all a wee bit academic.
Anyway, I thought this afternoon's protests were great - things have been a bit quiet round where I live so it was good to have some large-scale united activity.

Oh here we go!

03.11.2005 08:42

So i am a fascist cos i dont swallow all the bollocks fed to me by people like you. Thick, really! I made a point and i am yet to receive a sensible answer, so who is thick. I dont swallow bollocks from people like you hook line and sinker, i have a brain and i make my own mind up on things, not what is fed when it is daft and pathetic. Is this the kind of way people like you fight fascism.

Saucy

my intentions

03.11.2005 11:41

saucy i didnt go cos i live in scotland but if i went my intentions would be to stop the nazi's etc having any public platform for thier views, i understand that some people (who are all wrong) believe the BNP when they say they are a normal political party etc etc, but anyone who thinks the far right should be allowed to speak openly and march etc is naive cos everywhere they go there is an increase in race and gay hate crimes. and the BNP were in bradford and C18 as well they are the ones that started the riot the ANL were there cos the nazi's were, you know in the kinda were ever they go we will be there telling people what they are really like rather than the spin all politico's (left and right) will give thier version of things.
now then suacy there are a few on the left who go to these things to start trouble and whilst i oppose them the majority of times there are times when a bit of direct action is needed.
so there we are saucy my intentions now go and try to get an honest opinion from the facists cos you wont and by the way while your at it as them about the holocaust and hitler and race relations and workers rights and the unemployed and womens rights and gay rights.

Sincere thanks for a great day out!

What a joke!
You Reds are so far up your own arses it is unbelievable!
I’ve been reading some of your childlike rants tonight, and what seems to be happening here is one of you makes up a crock of shite about one thing or another, and the rest of you buzz around like flies and try to substantiate it; pathetic.

Your right about one thing though, nationalists do read this dismal Red ‘network’ forum on occasion; we normally do so when we get back from a tiring leafleting or canvassing session and need a good laugh to help us relax.
As for the ‘Anti-normal-human-Fascist’ protest outside the Leeds courthouse, what a fucking freak show!
All I could see was simply the floatstrum and froth from the decay of modern western liberal society. Faggots, lezzers, union Marxists and every other designation of losers and excuses for human beings; even the police said you were scum. You behaved exactly the way we expected a clutch of poorly trained chimpanzees to behave. Fucking hilarious!

Not only have you helped to hand us yet another excellent media platform from which to work, you have yet again emphasized to the country the stark contrast between the normal healthy and proud white British majority, and the minority of loud mouthed liberal refuse.

I guess the truth can sting sometimes can’t it?
Anyway, thanks for the entertainment and keep up the good work!

Race&Nation!

Delete The Homophobic Abuse, Please Moderators

07.11.2005 09:34

The BNP member's posting above, uses vile homophobic abuse.

The words "faggots" and "lezzers" are vile terms of hatred.

Remove now, ASAP.

Mark Collett Is Posting Undercover, Using Pseudonyms

07.11.2005 09:43

Saucy's real identity is loser, and soon to be jailed, "Mark Collett.

Collett has the world's smallest p@nis.

Not much to get saucy with, other when w@nking before pictures of Adolf hitler like a true neo-Nazi, unsure of his sexuality.

They Admitted To Starting The Bradford Riots

07.11.2005 09:53

On the BBC broadcast exposing the BBC as a rabble of thugs and losers, one man confessed to assaulting an Asian man.

He was a BNP member.

The BNP (and their terrorist friends in Combat 18), were also pictured in Bradford pubs on the day of the riots.

Nick Griffin was spotted in Bradford, the neo-Nazi fuhrer spotted giving orders to his faithful fascists, in a pub, the previous night.

Hopefully, the scum will soon be behind bars.

I wander how the other prisoners will take to them???

Saucy = Mark Collett? I dont think so.
