I think that we need to be absolutley clear that we are not ridiculing this scum for being gay, but because that is so against his proffessed nazi beliefs. Someone reading the above post without prior context of the anti-facist movement would assume that the author was a homophobe taking the piss out of a gay man. This nazi's homosexuality is a double standard, and will surley piss off his nazi buddies (many of whom are equally closeted), and as such, we are not wrong to publicise the information - we just need to be absolutley clear that as militant anti-facists and anarchists/reds, we are not in the game of attacking people because of their sexuality.

I totally echo the previous comment - this BPP lowlife should be exposed for his hypocrisy, but not mocked for being gay, obviously. Homophobia must be fought (including, sometimes, amongst macho anti-fascists!) by all anti-authoritarians and progressives.

...and neither should there be implied denigration of him for wearing glasses or having a "weak frame".
Just the other day I was posting criticism of other nazis being described as "fat" and "ugly", as if there was some shame in that.

Let's stop humming their tunes, shall we?

I'll be honest, when I saw "gay mugger" I had an image of Graham Norton weilding a switchblade.

Yes this is about the hypocricy of Stampton who is a homosexual and the BPP who have been desperate to keep a lid on things so close to the case of the BPP paedophile it's not what they needed. Stamptons support of Charlie Sargent say's it all as Stampton himself isn't known for sniffing (pun intended) at the oppertunity for a line or two. In court he even tried to use his fondness of cocaine as an excuse to why he went as far as to having sexual contact with his victims claiming it was the drug that made him do it and he didn't know what he was doing which was dismissed by the judge and there was no medical explaination to back up his claim.

i think the point was being made that Eddie couldn't pretend he was just an evil mugger and bthat he was in fact gay. Yes, this is cos this would embarass him as a nazi, not cos theres owt wrong with being gay.

Throwaway comments about macho antifascists are really annoying knowing how progressive, and often gay, the people who make the piss-take posts are.

As for not being able to call someone fat and ugly, why not? i don't get that one at all. Everyone can dress batter, cut down on their pork life, and get a make-over you know dear.

Let's be clear comrades, while the essence of this post may be true (ie Stampton's conviction) it has been put on Indymedia by a fascist troll. Obviously that is reflected in its content.

Please don't accuse antifascists of sexism and homophobia when what you're reading are comments, or in this case a posting, made by fascist trolls. Eddie Stampton is scum, but there are one or two Fash who who have been trying to 'out' this story on the fascist forums for some time. Obviously, as fascists, they have a different take on things to us. We shouldn't be surprised by that, nor should we expect otherwise. But this post has no place on Indymedia and should be removed.

It comes as no suprise that there is more hypocrisy to be found among the BPP.
Now, like many antifascists I abhor homophobia, but when (as a fascist like Stamped-on) you join a political movement one of the main unifying points of which is a hatred of homosexuality and then it is revealed that you are a homosexual well then you deserve to be mocked, for your cowardice and hypocrisy, as well as your dishonesty.
Why the fuck join a fascist group if you are homosexual, why not be open and proud of who you are? If by attempting to hide your own homosexuality you join a group intent on making homosexuality a crime all you do is make things difficult for yourself and others in your situation.

But where does this leave the BPP?
Your membership consisted pre these new revelations of
Cowards,
Paedophiles,
Police Informers,
Alcoholics,
Child batterers
Members who betray and sell their own people's details to the AFA for beer money.
Liars
and who
Murder each other and couldn't organise security at Mothercare.
Deal cocaine

All of which contravene their own alleged set of rules and political ideology for "a better Britain" or whatever.

Now we find that another member of the BPP is a mugger who prays on and commits sex acts with homosexuals - both the mugging and homosexuality in contradiction of their own ideology/propaganda.

Not looking good is it?

So why not just quit now before you make yourself look even more ridiculous. Your own members continues to embaress you on an almost daily basis, you do our job for us time and time again, even the most committed and active anti-fascist couldn't have caused the amount of damage that your twats gift us on a silver platter, its like you almost want to be mocked and reviled. If the BPP were a secret wing of anti-fascists committed to making the far-right look like a veritable laughing stock through ensuring headlines like this they couldn't have done a better job for fuck's sake. If we view the right wing as a circus then the BPP are its clowns, making pratfall after pratfall.

Give it up, or at least go into comedy, you'd make a fucking fortune.

the only person trying to cover up this story is Stampton himself who knows that time is short, isn't that right Eddie? He doesn't want people to know about his denial but Stampton has no friends in nationalism hence his affiliation with the BPP who have no end of problems since his induction, coincidence?

right mark cotterill is a nazi
you allmugs
eddy an me did it for fun
manlove

To your excellent list of the sterling quality and extracurricular activities of the BPP may I add that the fat Kate Mcdermody was a prostitute. Her ex-husband was a coke head who pimped her ass to feed their habit and rid himself of her when she decided to go clean and binge on hatred instead.
