Nick Griffin at Bath Uni- Mon May 14th - demo & Anti-Fascist bloc
Anti-Fascist bloc | 04.05.2007 19:14 | Anti-racism | Oxford
On Monday 14th of May, holocaust denying Nazi fuckwit Nick Griffin will be speaking at Bath University... unless we stop him!
The demo will kick off at 5 in the evening on the main strip at Bath University, we dont know where exactley yet as the room he will be speaking in hasn't been announced, but the demo will be very large, so we'll be pretty visible.
Joining the demo will be an 'Anti-fascist bloc' alligning themselves to the 'no platform for nazis' position. Our aim will be to stop Griffin talking and spreading his message of hate and racial violence. To find us on the day, look for a banner reading 'SMASH THE NAZI BNP!'
The demo will involve large student and union groups, plus concerned individuals, so there is the freedom for everyone to protest in a way that suits them. Unions and activists from around the South West and further are organising for the demo, which is shaping up to be pretty huge!
The Anti Fascist bloc will be committed to disrupting the talk, and hopefully preventing it from taking place.
Nick Griffin has been banned from every university in the country, except Bath University. Lets make sure they aren't eager to have him back!
Also, Danny Lake, the nazi student who invited Griffin is the national BNP youth organiser. He is contactable via facebook.
See you up there!

However you choose to fight injustice and inequality, its a good idea to take the fash out along the way as they will hinder your every step.
Traditionally students in and around things like UAF or ANL have not had a very good effect on the BNP, but if Griffin is actually going to talk IN THEIR UNIVERSITY they are completely within their rights to do whatever the fuck they like to stop it from happening. Especially considering it was at the invite of an actual fascist student, not some bizarre free speech gambit by the uni. This should be treated like a fascist meeting anywhere else. Tackle Griffin and tackle the lad who invited him.
I'd advise you to have a few groups about as well as the main high visibility demo thoughout the building to keep your options open depending on what happens. If you make it clear to the union that there will be a headahce for them, they'll cancel in advance. They have done the same elswhere.
Good luck.

Remember that fungus grows in the dark. Shed some light on the BNP, and expose them for the racist fuckwits that they are. Otherwise we give them a victim status that they do not deserve, and will exploit.
Arent we in danger of becoming like them? Freedom of speech is a many-laned street.

He may well come off looking a dickhead, but his appearance will give heart to fash in the area and further legitimise the BNP as a mainstream party.
Just get the fucking thing pulled.

Do you remember the program on T.V. that attempted to expose the BNP for who they are, did you notice that since that program the BNP have been getting more votes?
I agree with the actions to stop this event whole heartedly, and I am sure lots of people are going to be able to get into the talk legitemately, and shut the fucker down.

Speaking of "Fuckwits"....

You intimidate, threaten and use violence as a means to your end to stifle free speech and debate. That sort of behaviour IS fascism in action.
Do you seriously imagine that you are furthering the cause of "democracy" here?
One (probably unintended and unexpected) side effect of you and your mates attempt to suppress democracy and free speech is that it is actually causing people to think "hang on a minute, they can't be THAT bad can they" and check out their policies for themselves (wonderful thing, the internet) - That is, I am sure, a contributing factor to the recent growth of the BNP... Keep it up lads and lasses..
I think that Lenin (a man who I am sure is a hero to many of you), when he coined the phrase "useful idiots" would have had people just like you in mind... Do you honestly think that if (for example) the Islamofascists are strong enough to take over in 20/30 years time your arses will be less likely to be on the end of their "jackboot" simply because you yourselves used fascistic tactics to try to stop the progress of the one political party with a real prospect of using the benefits of our democracy to avert the catastrophe of implementation of Sharia Law in this country?
On the other hand, do you honestly think that when the encroaching police state promoted by the existing cabal of the Liblab Con is fully implemented you will be immune from George Orwells vision of the future summed up in "1984" as the booted foot stamping on a human face - forever - simply because you signed up to "stop the BNP".
If "Unite Against Fascism" lived up to their name they would be turning on themselves as they are the true fascists to a man (and woman).
Carry on sleepwalking to disaster "comrades".

Left-wingers are really very rude, and very last year
13.05.2007 23:33
But it is the most frightful hypocricy, and the only just wars have been fought for the right to speak of those with whom we do not agree.
I am also bound to say that for all their talk of peace and love, young left-wingers are terribly rude, and terribly feral. They really are much less civilised than those they despise.
It must be something to do with the frustration that comes with the dawning realisation that almost everything for which they stand has been rejected by anyone in power anywhere in the world, with the exception of a handful of petty desposts.
The left has lost, boys and girls: let's move on!
