Now is the time to stop the BNP - 16 Jan

Leeds Unite | 11.01.2006 13:29 | Anti-racism

Now is the time to stop the BNP -
Organised by Yorkshire and Humberside TUC and UAF.

Join the protest outside the court for the opening of the trial of Fascist BNP leaders Nick Griffin and Mark Collett. Assemble Monday 16th January - 9am outside Leeds Crown Court, Oxford Row. Rally at noon outside Leeds Art Gallery, The Headrow, Leeds

The BNP continue to try and divide our communities with their hatred and lies. They peddle lies about asylum seekers and immigrants and different ethnic groups. In particular, they wish to cynically use the tragedy in London this year to whip up racism against Muslims. All sections in our society must unite against them whatever your religion, race, gender, sexual preference or age.

In November, Yorkshire and Humberside TUC and Unite against Fascism organised a highly successful protest and rally outside the preliminary hearing of BNP leader Nick Griffin and Mark Collett’s trial for incitement to racial hatred. During the day 1000 people showed their opposition to the BNP.

On 16 January 2006 the trial of these leading BNP members begins. We want to show more than ever, in the lead up to the council election period, that people across the North totally reject racism and fascism. Join us at 9am outside the Crown Court in Leeds and at noon outside the Art Gallery.

Bring banners from your area, union or group to show the breadth of opposition to the Nazi BNP.
