Stop the fascist BNP in London and Henley

Ian | 14.06.2008 16:54 | Anti-racism | Oxford

The BNP is not a legitimate political party. It is a fascist organization dedicated to the political tradition of Hitler and Mussolini. In the last elections the fascists gained 10 more seats across the country and a seat on the London Assembly, and aim to target the European Parliamentary elections next year.




Love Music Hate Racism and Unite Against Fascism have called a national demonstration against the presence of a fascist in the London Assembly. The aim is to build opposition over the coming months and years to see the advance of the BNP reversed.

We would like to have thousands of union members, faith groups, students , LGBT and disability groups - all our communities on the march to celebrate multiculturalism, and oppose racism , fascism and the BNP politics of hate .

The demonstration is supported by national unions including, the PCS, FBU, Unite, UCU, NUT and NASUWT. The FBU and PCS both passed motions backing the mobilisation at their national conferences and are urging their members to go on the demonstration.

Oxfordshire UNISON Health Branch has taken the initiative of booking a coach for the protest on 21st June with a view to other unions supporting the coach by block booking seats and encouraging their members, family and friends to come. The CWU has already block booked seats and has made a donation.

The coach will be leaving Oxford at 9.30 p.m. Pick up points will be notified once seats are booked. Coach seats cost £10 waged/ £5 unwaged & students.

Seats can be booked online c/o the Oxford Love Music Hate Racism website at  http://web.bethere.co.uk/LMHROxford/ or by emailing  LMHROxford@bethere.co.uk or ringing 07790532513. All money from seat bookings will go to Oxfordshire UNISON Health branch to offset the £500 outlay for the first coach.

Oxfordshire Unite Against Fascism and Love Music Hate racism supporters will also be visiting Henley after the national march to leaflet local estates against the BNP.

There is also a fundraising and campaign promotion night on Thrusday 14th June at the Thirst Lodge, Pennyfarthing place off St. Ebbes with Makating, Liddington, Mr ShaoDow, Provoka & Sean Rumsey, and members of Harlequin.
