McDermody's Sheep To Be Penned-In In Leeds

No megaphones, no regalia, no straight-arming. Are the British People's Party and their neo-nazi allies sheep in wolves clothing, being led by Kate McDermody like lambs to the slaughter?

The BPP - Sheep in wolves clothing

While the BPP's Kate McDermody has made bold claims to be 'taking back the streets' with 'her' protest against Black Hip-Hop in Leeds on October 18th, the reality is that the opening shots in this "Racial Holy War" are of course being called by the cops. McDermody, who has been trying to incite racial hatred in the city since her recent arrival, began her "crusade" by first contacting the police for permission and protection. While trying to incite hardline neo-nazi mugs into risking arrest and a beating in Leeds, with promises of riots and street-fighting, McDermody has been backwards and forwards to the cops and bent to their every whim.

First of all, McDermody advertised her demo, to be held outside HMV on Lands Lane in Leeds city centre, for October 4th. When an antifascist counter-demo was announced however, and the cops said they couldn't protect the BPP on the 4th, McDermody proclaimed she would hold her demo on October 18th.

The prospect of civil unrest in Leeds city centre is clearly not one West Yorkshire Police relish, and so McDermody and her Toy Town stormtroopers will have to hide behind a fence, with only 2 named leafletters allowed, and a whole raft of rules and regulations which McDermody has cravenly signed up to. She can certainly "walk the walk" as she puts it - straight to the nearest copper!

As with the National Front in the 1970's, and the BNP at their annual 'Red White & Blue' festival, the BPP will be closely protected by the police they claim to despise - Herded from the train and bus stations, penned-in for their sad little demo, and then bussed off wherever the cops care to take them. 'Wigan Mike', a neo-nazi nobody currently hanging onto the coat-tails of the BPP, has even made sure the cops have his photo so he doesn't get slaughtered with any other stray sheep.

We wonder how much it is costing to protect this fascist scum from the righteous anger of the people of Leeds? A lot more than any of them are worth to be sure. Bring your rotten tomatoes and bags of mouldy fruit comrades, Kate McDermody's providing us with a nazi coconut shy. Baa, Baa, Baaa!

SMASH THE BPP – NO NAZIS ON THE STREETS OF LEEDS!
SATURDAY 18TH OCTOBER, 11.00AM
